day 4 since injury

the pain is almost gone... but my right foot is still swollen, trying beri hard to bring down the swelling... put in a bucket of ice+water, elevate the leg above the heart (when laying down of cus), applying the cream doc gave me... still the swelling is visible...

it's oso due to the swell, tat when i try to apply my weight on my right leg, it hurts... now i'm trying to find a spot so tat when i walk it wont hurt much... got 1 more day to try to bring down the swelling, going back to work on friday... how i wish i could take MC for the whole week... but i need to let my engineer to sign my timesheet, else i cant get my pay on time...

hai~ i can imagine the amount of decap needed to be done on friday when i go back to work... well, i'm just 1 person... i can only do a certain amount of work a day... who ask them not to hire another EA or technician since i'm the only EA left in tat dept since last week...

tink i should retire from bball lol... kinda have a slight phobia of the sport already :P

MC for 4 days

went back to company this morning to return the lab key... althgh the distance from my locker rm to the office is not tat far... i gotta climb or should i say hop up 2 flight of steps to my locker... n down 2 more to the 1st floor n take the lift to 3rd floor office... after everyting i was perspiring as if i just finish my 2.4km run...

after tat bro took me to bedok polyclinic... lucky the place got lift... but still it was soo small, i could barely fit 4 adults... n there were so many ppl in polyclinics loh, the young n the old... took us abt 2hrs to finish everyting n head home... but it was really cheap... consultation fee only $9, n medicine was abt $5... so i used up abt $15 or my monthly medical claim liaoz... anymore sickness i would haf to pay by myself...

n bathing was so troublesome n tiring too... i gotta put a chair in the toilet so i could rest n not rely on my left leg for support the entire time... n i gotta postpone my driving lesson this week, luckily i only booked 1 lesson this week... n i call them early to cancel it so i could still use the deposit for tat lesson to rebook another 1 lesson...

now just hope i can recover by thurs, if not i dont know how i am going to work... i'm definitely not going work with the walking sticks... its sooo tiring n troublesome

life is dark

it's only such moments... when i know who's who...

not a simple sprain

long time nv play bball... so jg/jc/me planned to play this morning... with weihe's frenz at bedok 85 area... i was there early so played awhile, but when they came, we started playing 3vs3... n it's not even half way through the game... i was marking someone, somehow when i tried to shift to my right, my right leg just refused to move but my body was still moving right...

the next moment i had a crack inside me... n i'm on the ground in pain... cant believe it man, long time nv play, body dont know how to react to movements already... i sprained my right ankle big time... at 1st i still could move my feet abit... but as time goes by n the swelling starts, my right feet was immobilised... totally cant apply any pressure on my right leg...

went back home in a cab... cus i cant even walk up the steps of a bus... bathed n dad bring me down to see chinese physician, was told not to walk too much, n tues then can remove the bandage... n sis help me go down to ntuc to get me a pair of walking stick, $36 for a pair loh... hai~ y must i go play bball n injured myself n waste $$...



i still gotta go back company 2moro morning... to return the lab key tat's in my locker... cus i booked it out last fri... informed my supervisor n he agreed for me to take mc after i return the key

slowly but surely...

had a chance to be in the driver's seat rite at the start of 2nite's driving lesson... usually the instructor would drive me to a more spacious carpark n hand over the wheel to me... but not 2nite, i drove off from the carpark at bedok... to 85 market... to expo... to changi airport... to changi village... to paris ris... to tampines... to bedok res... n back to my blk's carpark...

was really excited i gotta drive around... but not without some scares... 1stly i stalled again infront of a green light, but only when i was near the saf ferry terminal... next was i kinda drove too fast, abt 60-70km/h, n the instructor was hinting me if i can drive tat fast then no need to learn from him already hahaha :P so i shall drive like a learner should, which is slow n steady...

another scare was when i was turning into bedok north from bedok res rd... there was a taxi across me trying to turn right but then went straight again... i had to stop n let him pass b4 i could make the turn... n i almost stalled in the middle of the turn...

it was kinda tiring for my legs after i got out of the car... but it was fun driving home... 1st time woo... hehe still i need to really work on getting the hang of the half clutch, starting n stopping the car...

Mac Beijing Olympics Freebie

saw their tv ad... didnt bother abt it at 1st, but when i realised just now tat there r 5 designs of the coca-cola cup in total... n 1 of which has an archery logo on it... i went down to get 1 immediately lol... it's free with any upsized value meal...

i like archery, just tat cant find a place to join or participate in tat sport... if there is it's oso quite far from bedok...

well... this design will last from 10-16 july... now sure if i wanna collect all 5... cus i only interested in the archery n bball design, n maybe the swimming one... the other 2 dont really like... ohh wat the hack... just see how lah lol...

DBSK - Why Did I Fall In Love With You

rudy intro me this MV... both the song n MV really touching leh... so sad, the gal he loves marrying another man...

skills level up

2nd lesson 2nite... was kinda late, cus help out colleagues at work after working hrs... end up left at 7pm... reach bedok around 8.05pm... gone to BK for a fast dinner, then off to the driving centre... reach there just rite, 8.30pm... but becus i got the reception to help me book my TP date n pay for my next week lesson... i started my lesson 2nite at abt 8.45pm

the gd news is... my TP would be in 31st OCT @ 3.45pm roughly abt 4months for me to learn... n try to pass on the 1st try n get my licence by end of the yr...

2nite lesson not bad... i got a chance to "level up my skills" lol... learn how to shift to 2nd gear, but still drive around the big carpark... towards the end of the lesson, the instructor asked me whether i wanna drive out n all the way back to my home... i was excited, 1st time can go on road n somemore it's just the 2nd lesson...

but end up i declined his offer... although he told me it was late n there aren't so many cars on the road... but i still not tat confident in stopping n moving off smoothly... plus the junction towards my home, the 1 leading to the PIE... that's where the cars r, so i told him maybe on the 3rd lesson then i will go on the road... :P

n finally on my 2nd lesson i found the half clutch of that car... one word to summarise my nite: HAPPY :)

round n round in 1st gear

had my beri 1st feel infront of a steering wheel 2nite... kinda hard learning how to drive at nite, cus cant see much... well, at least its not hot lol...

all i did was just drove around in a rather big carpark in 1st gear only... with just a few cars parked in there... so i could drive around "freely"... had a slight stall few sec after moving off, cus there was another car driving out of the carpark, i tried to stop without depressing the clutch lol... otherwise everything went pretty fine... only a few jerks here n there... still can't get the hang of the half clutch n how much pressure to apply on the accelerator

kinda felt 90mins past rather fast... a few rounds n a look at my watch, it was already a quarter past 9pm... well, next lesson is this fri nite again lol... learning 2 times per week for this month... although the earliest TP date available would be late oct or early nov... plenty of time for me to learn... so gotta spread out the lessons liaoz lol...

2nd try

went to Ubi CDC for my FTT this morning @ 1030... reached there slightly early so stood around look see look see... then a familiar face caught my attention... he was wearing a cap with glasses... accompanied by a lady... a closer look n the sound of his voice confirmed tat he is tcs actor Li Nan Xing...

but somehow the ppl around the lobby didnt pay much attention to him... maybe they just didnt notice it was him... or maybe they just dont bother... perhaps he's not as famous as before, but if it was back then, i believe he would have been surrounded by all the ppl at CDC...

i wanted to take a pic of him, but i felt it would be kinda invading his rights... not sure if he's there to renew his licence or wat... but did overheard him talking on the hp abt enquiring something to do with licence... not sure abt who the lady was... maybe she's his assistant...

anywayz... i went on to take my FTT, i was so frustrated by the touch screen LCD cus i need to touch really hard to select the options... then after abt 20qns, i realised tat i just need to use my fingernails to touch the screen... with my nails i just need to tapthe screen, but with my fingers i gotta press really hard... hehe felt so stupid loh...

since this was my 3rd time taking the test... was kinda worried i wouldn't make it this time... 1st time i failed, 2nd try i passed but didn't proceed to learn driving... n it dragged my 2yrs till my FTT expired... n here i am, my 3rd try... but luckily i passed lol... somehow i felt some qns weren't covered in the book...

after tat i immediately proceed to get my PDL... then went back to bedok central to enrol for the driving lessons at the small little shop near the Geylang Football Club... each 1.5hr lesson costed $37.50 loh... so expensive lol... my 1st lesson would be on next wed nite @ 8pm... gonna be in the driver's seat for the 1st time liaoz lol... gonna be fun, i hope :P

PS: after confirmation with my bro... tink Li Nan Xing was there 2day to retake his licence, cus he was revoked last time? :P
