Do you remember from the Bugs Bunny show that Elmer Fudd always wanted to shoot Bugs Bunny and make "Wabbit Stew"? But he ends up injuring himself. Well, I got to taste stewed Rabbit for the 1st time... in Mt Wuyi, during my trip to Xiamen. I didn't know until I ate it and asked the lady what was it. I have seen it sold in US, but never have the heart to buy it. I only took one piece, so pitiful. It is stewed in the bamboo as shown below. Then I also tasted for the 1st time - sky swan. The meat is like chicken.

Pinky Almost Axed By X5
On March 30, while I was looking for an envelope for my boss in his car, my finger was slammed by the door of X5. Just imagine, if our finger is caught by a normal car door, it is already painful, what more can I say for BMW X5 - it's big and heavy. I didn't open the car door big enough as there was another nice car parked next to his - BMW Boxer. After I looked inside the car for the envelope, my head and upper body came out, but I didn't hold on to the door. So since the door was not opened wide and staying still, the door swing back. My right hand was place at the panel with my pinky half at the panel and half at the door frame.
Went to see the chinese doctor in the evening. He acupunctured two spots on my hand, but not at the finger. After that, he use a special needle to prick on the affected finger and he pressed the blood out. Whoa, that was painful. After that he wrapped it with herbs and that was how it looked like on the 1st picture. The 2nd and 3rd pictures were taken the day after treatment. Still swollen. I had to go for treatment the 2nd time so that it will be ok when I went to Xiamen. He squeezed more blood out. Pinky is ok now, but pain when I press. As long as I can play the piano then is ok ;)
