Tremors
Since before the bak zhang festival, I had been ingesting the glutinous rice tetrahedra on quite a regular basis. Can you ingesting ingesting one at 8:00 in the morning? I'm sure the thought of it makes you feel zhai. But then, it's quite hard to resist the draw of fatty pork, black-eyed peas, chestnuts, salted egg yolks and mushrooms. To make it go down easier, I either have a refreshing cup of hot jasmine tea; or digestive pills (the goodness of papaya seeds); or coffee. And you know what? Coffee works the best. For some unknown reason, every time I drink coffee, I get really hungry. Like a black hole suddenly appeared in my tummy. A very hollowed out feeling. And when I get that way, my hands would start to shake.
Shaky hands are quite a genetic thing in my family. My father had them. My sister too. And I have it. It's at its worst when I'm hungry. Try shovelling food into my mouth with a spoon and you can see the spoon tremble midway. Try to scoop up some hot soup and you can see me waver. Quite troublesome. More so if I am a brain surgeon trying to spare some healthy brain tissue or an engineer trying to solder some complex circuitry. But recently, I felt that it has gotten worse. A bad sign? I really should go check it out, before I end spilling all the water in my cup before I even bring it to my lips. Heh.

You know the Chinese used to say that one shouldn't eat odd number of chicken feet or one would get shaky hands. So always eat 'em in pairs. Go check with a doc lah what's up with your shaky hands.
I am also used to trembling hand when scooping hot soup from the bowl. The more I tried to steady my hand, the more shaky it becomes.
With some intense focus and eye-hand coordination, you should do better.
But don't drag your feet and consult the doctor when you next visit him. Guai zai lar.
*hugs*
