*life of a simple guy*

Suddenly i just feel like blogging now.Its boxing day today and christmas had passed already.This year i had a very quiet christmas at home,spending it in my own room alone.I guess its one of my most simple christmas spent ever,didn't managed to go to michelle's birthday party either.Just ended my chat with sandy awhile.Its been so long since we are in contact,never really contact each other much since i graduated from zhonghua.I guess she must have also changed alot over all these years.From our chat,i realised something that has always been on my mind.In life,there are many times when u have to make a decision.This decision which u make will make an impact on your life after that.No matter what happened,its a path which u have chose to take.There comes a time when this decision is not the most wisely made,but u have to face the consequences when things don't turn out well.Getting over this bad experience is never easy,but ur true friends will always be there for u and will give u the support that u need.Things that are fated to happen will always happen for a reason,so be ready to always learn from it.I don't know why i'm saying all these,just suddenly have them in my mind.To end it,what ever happens in life is fated.I'm fated to meet people from different walks of life,and kinda blessed to have actually met really good friends.So i thank fate for this.

Im back!Went for my physiotheraphy on monday afternoon.Its still quite swollen after a week,so alice decided to use heat theraphy to reduce the swollen area.So my leg was placed with suction-looking caps la.

the cups on my leg

So my physiotheraphy took around 2hours before i could finished it and go home.It was raining cats and dogs for the past few days and singapore was actually flooded with cars stuck in the water la.First time im seeing it happened in singapore la.Monday's physiotheraphy was really abit more tedious than the first time,cause my knee was in abit more pain during that night.Now the pain has slowly lessen le,i must continue to do the exercises myself.For today,it didn't rain at all but the weather was rather cooling which is not bad after all.Not sure if im able to go for mich's birthday party on sunday since my knee is still quite swollen.Should i go or anot?Shall see how my knee is on saturday and then decide i guess.Oh ya,yejun is leaving for Finland on friday night so that means i can have his ps2 while he's away.At least it can help to kill my boredom.Haha.Alright shall end my words here.

Haven't blog for a day le wor.I must say that its been a boring past 2 days at home.Didn't really do much things and just slacked at home.Can't remember what i did on saturday le except that i caught the arsenal vs portsmouth match.It was really a good comeback for arsenal after being 2 goals down.At least the unbeaten home record is still very much there for the gunners.On sunday,didn't do much either.Played around with my computer and caught some of the shows on the tv.Until the night time,when nigel came over to visit mi after coming back from his china trip a few days ago.Helped to find his marathon pictures also and sent it to him after he went home.So i guess that basically sums up my weekend.Yeah,i know its a very boring weekend that i had la but no choice since i still have problem moving around.At least the weather was good to be at home la.Oh ya,tml i still got physiotheraphy to go for.So i'll make a move now.Ciao~

Today is the fourth day after my operation already.When i woke up this morning,my knee was in quite a bloody mess.The puncture hole still haven't stop bleeding and over the night,the whole plaster which the nurse used on the wound was full of blood already.

The bloody plaster

From this picture,i can also see the big difference in size of the two knees,and its very obvious that its the one on the left la.Still swollen.I actually mixed up the timing for my physiotheraphy today lo.I thought that its at 2pm but the right timing is 8.30am in the morning lo.Luckily,i still can go in the afternoon thanks to alice my physiotherapist.So there i go,embarking on my rehabilation.

Pictures of my leg during my exercise and getting a good ice treatment after doing many sets of exercises.Oh ya,i met my GP tutor Mark Rozells at the centre there also after finishing my exercises.He dislocated his elbow while playing soccer,tough luck for him man.At least he's on mc to rest la.One funny thing that happened was that while doing my exercises,this auntie started to talk to me and told me stories of her past being a teacher.Its kinda interesting also la.Haha.

And while going home,it was raining heavily lo.Somemore the traffic was jammed and was stuck in there for quite sometime.As a result,my narcisisism gets in.....

While in the car

And today while in the hospital having my lunch,i saw a very familiar face.The moment i saw him,i immediately recognise this face.He was my ex-neighbour and ex-opponent,someone who i always want to play against after our match during my secondary school days.He's none other than Khairul Amri,one of hottest prospects in Singapore football right now.

He's been doing ever so well since he started his career,i just hope that i can be somewhere there as well in the future.Thats why i'm very motivated to come back from this minor injury of mine.Watch out Khairul,i'm itching to comeback on the pitch soon.

Somehow,i managed to find this blog which i have abandoned a long time ago.So since i have got so much time to spare,i shall start blogging again.=)

This is the second day im back at home after my knee operation.Well,i guess all have been good for me so far.Actually i cant really recall much about the operation since i was on anaesthetics throughout the whole operation.The last thing i remembered was breathing in the oxygen gas and the next thing i know is that my knee is heavily bandaged up and in pain.This was what i saw when i woke up......

Was feeling nauseas and in the end,vomitted after i just took a few sips of milo.That was really horrible man.At least i felt much better after letting it out.The rest of the day was really sian cause all i did was sleep and sleep and sleep.After taking my dinner,i slowly fell asleep at 7plus which is damn early.

The doctor came in the next morning and said that i can be discharged,which is good news.So i headed home at 1plus in the afternoon.Oh ya,dine,zhihuai and cliburn came to visit me yesterday in the afternoon.Thank you so much for the cookies and the company.Heres somemore pics taken at the hospital .......
