I shld be so LucKy

I received my letter today. I raised my eyebrows at the figure.
I was surprised by the payout as I didn't expect the amount.
But the increment is disappointing though - not exactly in line with economic situation & performance basis.

Ah, never mind, I thank my lucky stars to receive a red packet from the co.
I know of others in my company who are under contract, therefore, they will not even receive extra in their December pay packet. When their contract ends in a year, I'm not sure if they will be retained either.

The second thing I feel so lucky about is my MOTH. Whenever I'm down or worried or sick, he will pick it up immediately. Even if I keep all quiet and not say a thing, he knows about my feelings right away. Is this what we call telepathy?

I made my third visit to the Chinese Physician on Sun afternoon. His clinical assistant told me that there's no need for me to have acupuncture this week. Phew, I heaved a sigh of relief. Another sign of luck? She told me that I need some herbs for application to my feet... Hee... I was really elated and thrilled, I thought I had escaped the clutches of Chinese medication... My face fell at the prescription counter. I was given an large bottle of Chinese medication (to bottoms up) + 2 smaller bottles of pills... Ay yo. HELP!
