Standard Chartered Marathon

Shit it was already 2am, I was still sitting in front of the computer. The Citybus nor the New bus had any additional buses for the convenience of the marathon. I was supposed to get up at 4am, 4:30 the latest for the physiotherapy work at the Victoria Park. Left the house at 5am, saw a taxi, tried to hop on, unfortunately there were tones of people who were hoping to get on a taxi as well. I walked over to another station looking for a better chance. There was a man with his daughter. My braveheart told me to ask him if I could tag along, he agreed. There you go, I got there on time, without paying a penny. Such a kind father!

Isaac, Willis and I travelled to the 39K checkpoint for physio service. It was my honour to be selected for this checkpoint. Thanks Willis number 1.

He bought each of us a bottle of coke for the shitty weather. Thanks Willis number 2.

It wasn't a busy station, so we had lots of time to enjoy the running atmosphere at the flyover, and photo taking. Thanks Willis number 3.

Cases came along when we were enjoying our time. Willis took the opportunity to teach us physiotherapy practical skills and reinforce our critical thinking (my weakest). Thanks Willis number 4.

After a coupla hours, we came back to our largest station for clearing up the line up and packing. Willis allowed me to tag along back to PolyU. Thanks Willis number 5.

When we got back to PolyU, all the materials were allocated back to where they belong to. Simon and Ella tried to buy us lunch. He tried to rescue BeiBei and I from the lunch even though it wasn't sucessful. Thanks Willis number 6.

He gave me two more packs of Isotonic drinks from his bag. He probably just wanted to get rid of those but they turned out to be my drink of survival during the match at night. Thanks Willis number 7.

What else can I say about you Willis :) Look forward to seeing you again, hopefully soon.

2 days to RMD, last day at RB

I felt your pain and anger at the lunch meeting. Also dislike the feeling of having other people to control your life. If one can put themselves into other people's shoes, they know that you really need what you desire. So I agree with you, SCREW the people who only think about themselves!!!!

Thank you for staying over till late with me, helping me out whenever needed. Thank you for your encouragement at all times. You are such a nice brother. I will miss you. At our last sight, I almost ran over to give you a hug. But you may feel weird, thats why I waved only... so gay. Anyway.... you know the way I feel.

Left KH at 9pm that night. AM nurses came back for the N shift, I was still there. Pretty funny. Hopefully I didn't leave any shit behind for you guys.

Last day at RB........... So loooooooong.

3 days to RMD

I knew you guys love my treat! Sweet soup from the designated store. GREAT! Grazie ppl for all the kind help!

Today, I started to pack up my stuff to RMD. YOU told me that besides your wife I am the first girl who made you to have feelings for. Even though you added some sense of humour in there, I knew it was true. And I was flattered. Love the way we interact because we are very close, yet distant. We trusted each other and we talked like sis and bro. Will love you and your tummy always BIG BRO!

3 days to RMD ... ... it's okay to miss me a little, but not too much :P

4 days to RMD

It's probably because I knew I am going to switch team soon, I am becoming more efficient these days. Theoretically, orthopaedic and medical cases are not supposed to be a challenge anymore! HA! Because I am WELL trained....... not.... of course there is always more knowledge to learn.

I am gonna miss the nurses who I work closely with. They are being very helpful sometimes, especially in forcing my kids down to the gym. It took time to blend in their culture, but I eventually did it.

After work, I had a strong desire to get some new lingerie, well bra. There was a shopping mall beside the stadium so I took a good look at those bras. I picked a set of red bra with undies, and another set of white ones with golden lace. It was very pretty. The pantie looked pretty sexy as well :p

Another exhausted volleyball night. Slipped and fell because of the humid ground. For the first time, I completely understood the injury mechanism of a fracture hip. I am sure if I were 40 years older than I am now, I probably would suffer from left fracture trochanter of femur, requiring Dynamic Hip screw. Painful and shitty!

4 days to RMD ... ... will miss my teammates!

5 days to RMD

It's like a normal working day today.

My teammate took me out for lunch. It was my favourite food, Shanghai food!!! I ate all of them, finished all the dishes on the table LOL. Paul reminded about my little tummy. Hopefully it won't turn into a big one.

Isaac told me that Willis will take us to 39K station together. Great!!

5 days to RMD............

6 days to RMD

Thought of leaving my teammates in a week, feels blue.

JP came to deliver red pocket money to us. Great!

Met Isaac after work. Learned something more about a friend's personal life. I still cannot believe what had happened, still in shock. Worried about her indeed. But I hope she is happy at least.

6 days to RMD.............. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Happy Birthday to AUNTIE ANGEL!!!!!!!!!

Standard Chartered Marathon Expo

COM-PLETE-LY exhausted over the weekend because I spent two entire day on this event. My legs were hurting, felt like my whole body was being punched from head to toes.

There were 4 stations: treadmill for running gait analysis; Windgate bike for anaerobic power; sit and reach for flexibility; and TrX for core stabilization exercise. Personally, I like the core stabilization exercise the most that's why I spent most of the time there. However, it was also the most tiring counter because it required a lot of physical work, including body and vocal cord. Knee pain afterwards. Still need to learn tones for gait analysis cos my knowledge is very narrow in this area.

Talked to Willis about rotating to RMD in a week. He gave me a lot of very useful advice, and taught me the way of self learning. He mentioned that I may not as lucky as other colleagues in another hospital, but if I can take the initiative to learn myself, my knowledge base will be widen for sure. Thank Willis for his great support and kind guidance. Love him a million!!

Right now, physically and mentally burned out!!!

7 days count down to RMD......

New Team

Out of the blue, my colleague reminded me about my days remaining in this team. And he seriously reminded me not to miss him. Honestly, I thought it was a reminder for himself not to miss me.

What is he talking about? There is no way I am not gonna miss him. He is such a wonderful colleague, a great brother, a caring friend.

When I thought of that, I felt blue.

Another week to go, cherish the time.

Two days ago I sent an email to Alen from Dubai. It was simply a lunar new year blessing to him because I thought of him the other day. He gave me a prompt reply the next day. It was so sweet of him. Miss him tones, wish to see him again.

New Year Resolution

Here I am again, talking about the new year resolution. This moment, I have a new definition for New Year resolution. It's not something you have to do in the upcoming year. It is some goals you set up for yourself so that you have a direction to work on. The outcome is probably not as important as the ride you take. Sometimes, it's also unexpected. Therefore, enjoying the process of getting there will be the KEY!

In this year of tiger, the stress on myself is going to increase because of some reasons. The aging process of human being is the cruelest thing that could happen on earth, which pushes you to be anxious about.... something. Anyways, I already want to scream by now.

New Year Resolution

1. being BF positive
2. Vacation to South East Asia
3. Read five books
4. Minimize the number of flaws at work
5. Control my temper, in any situation

Again, that's it for now. May revise it later.

Nice breakfast

Love to leave a page on this day....

Because.....

I had breakfast with my favourite colleagues.

This round table included Wollo, Dimon, Paul, Humphrey and Monika.

Poor Paul sprained his ankle the night before during basketball. His left ankle was swollen like an boiled egg, with purple bruises.

Anyways....

Love y'all!!!!!!

A present from a friend

In this gloomy day, I was reluctant to wear my smile. Guys, stop being so kiddish. I am sick of that.

Out of the blue, a workman asked me if I am gonna switch team. He handed me a key chain. It was an Angel. It's Angel Gabriel. He wished the angel can follow me wherever I go.

Angel Gabriel. Reminds me of Gabe. Suddenly miss him, a lot. Still remember I enjoyed our time together back in T.O.

I will carry Gabriel with me to RMD.
