Welcome To My Life

Here's some of the more memorable events.

I recall boarding the plane to nearby Penang for the above Program.
Mixing drab office presentations withshort trips to the mall,
to food, food, food,and more food. New bonds were forged.
and existing ones strengthened.The trip was alittle long, but I guess we found fun in it.

I remember turning up for trials as a 1st yr assistant and crossing swords with senior managers and the like thinking "What e f**k am I doing here on a Saturday morning?" We may not have won the tournament but I guess I was happy joining the team.

I got dirty, i got burnt but I had loads of fun.

The 2007 Soccer team

The girls fretted over what to wear while the guys listened. Moulin Rouge in Singapore. Cool stuff. I admit, I never liked dressing up. I still do.

In life, we can't always have it smooth-sailing. 3 weeks of ordeal and counting. We tend to take everything around us for granted. Simple things like walking. I have been walking for as long as I can remember, maybe even before that. However, this particular misfortune has caused me to slow and reflect. Stop and think of the things that really matter. Amidst the rat race that is still going on, I have taken a step back to rest this poor leg. Good luck to those auditors who are still slogging despite the famous term "off-peak". Perhaps, that word is over rated. Is there ever off peak in audit? I doubt so. Off-peak is just a magical term coined to boost the morale (READ: lower the turnover rate) of the existing staff. Enough said. I have become the forgotten man. Soccer every Sunday used to be my antidote to a hard week. The 2 hours with my chumps of 10years back sweep away whatever blues that had accumulated during the week where all concentration would be getting the bloody ball into the goal (opponent's goal). The team's doing well. There has been new additions to replace me. Perhaps, I have really been replaced. Will I ever play soccer again? Hmm.. Or should it be, will I ever dare to play soccer again?

Its Tue at last. Time for medical appointment. Spent the nite tossing in bed worrying abt what could happen. Thank god all was fine! Allowed to walk without crutches. After 22 days!! Its no joke trying to walk without crutches after almost a mth w it. Its definitely harder than I imagined. Thankfully, I managed. Finally able to walk normally. Leg still can't bend. Now, for the removal of the brace. 2 weeks more and hopefully, I will be able to walk like before. :)

I dun think i will ever forget that fateful day. The feeling of being wheeled into the OT not knowing what to expect next. The pain of those needles. And of course the op itself. Even now, 2 weeks on, the pain still exists.

Its jus words and words these days but who gives a damn, its my blog. I have been doing lots of thinking lately. Well, perhaps there isn't much to do besides thinking and more thinking. Exercise (gotta work those unutilised muscles) always leave mi drained at the end of the day. Sometimes, we live in our world of comfort that we take everything and everyone for granted. It is at this point that I am able to pause, reflect and take stock of everything.

B jus left my hse. Specially brought lunch for mi. Happy. At least its nice to know that someone out there cares enuff to bring lunch over. N i hear of pple offering DVDs/VCDs to kill those bored afternoons, tonics to boost my recovery. Heart warmed.

At the moment, there's nth much I can do except wait.

For a start, it has been a hell of pain. Never felt anything worse in 25 years on Mother Earth. Mobility has been greatly affected but but, through this whole ordeal, there's plenty of thanks I've to give.

D has been fantastic. Absolutely sacrificial without any complaints. If there was an award for being ideal nurse, maid, gf etc, everything in one, she will sure get it. I really thank god for her in my life. I m not going into details but yeah, I really appreciate everything you have done.

The family's been encouraging too. Though they always laugh at mi.

B, J, SM dropped by and played a round of mj w mi to kill e boredom that comes with lying in bed excessively.

Get well sms frm J brightened up those gloomy days.

Msn msgs frm LY, E amid many others. Forgive mi if i leave any of u out.

Sigh, I guess it will be another few weeks before I walk normally.

Will I ever play ball again? (This injury was caused by playing soccer)

Its hard to say but I definitely will not be as active as before.

There's so much I wanna do. So much I wanna say. Can't wait to do those.

As of now, can't say much so stay tuned!!
