Hello all..
I guess I over estimate my arm. It's not been making much progress, supposably due to my weak amount of calcium in my diet, and the fact that I hav freed it from the sling, which has given more pain to my neck, than helping. And straining it more with impromptu movements, such as wearing my clothes etc. Everything's a chore now.
But even that cant seem to stop me from going for outings, such as the Njd X'mas gift-exchange outing yesterday. And was late because you know lah, handicap people bath longer. So met some of them, Ilyana, SP and Joyce at Marina first. Thought I would be the latest, but still, planned to wrap the gift, which was meant for someone who thought she knew I was the one who's giving to her. It would be more appropriate as to make the gift nicer if it's wrapped, but attempt failed. Even strain poor arm while trying to fit the gift inside my sling bag, while walking at Raffles point, and have to endure the pain till I found a seating place.
Turns out I wasnt late at all and even missed the lunch at Long John Silver. Soon people arrived and went in together for the movie, Ip Man. Decided to replace lunch to popcorn with Clarice. Mr senior advisor was late again. Movie was great, watching how the Wing Chun master, acted by one of my idol movie martial artist, Donnie Yen, proceed his technique with such agility and speed, defeating the cruel Japanese general. Na bei go learn chinese lah. And looking at how useless my arm is, all I can do is clench it till the end of the movie. Lucky there wasnt any adrenaline urge to stand up and wave ur arms like mad, else I would miss it.
Next was to finish up my ezlink card balance for a trip to marina barrage. It was nice, for a place being so crowded, and the kites so scary they can swoop down and entangle the lines around your neck. We spread the picnic mat and chilled for awhile, enjoying the afternoon breeze together. Whle some linger at how people flew their kites, I was wishing the pain would be gone, cause I was agitated to do a handstand or two on the green grass. But the biggeest kite was a bee, which scared half of the kites in the air.
After oogling at the barage display nearby, we went ahead to Hougang mall, to get our food and necessities, meaning junks and and more junks, but change our mind cause the bargain at a pasar malam nearby was calling. Even got the Kebab guy to give me more chicken and less veggie ^.^ Joyce had cramps so we proceed the night at Clarice's condo. I guess this is when I forgot all bout the pain, cause we had quite a fun time. With the gift exchange(thanks Ilyana for the adidas shirt!), twister (with me just taking all the obscene pictures of them along with the forfeit with Mr Marcus), surprise gift by instructor (thanks Mr Tiew!) surprise attack on Mr Tiew and Jimmy (which got snow spray all over my face), Charade! (when all those cinderellas went home, and midnight movie (equilibrium), which makes us sleep at around 4 in the morning. Not to forget the ones who got high because of vodka. Well, I dont wanna go into the details. Soon it was just me and the condo owner, deciding to stay there for awhile longer, so that we can go training. Didnt wanna bring my pants because didnt want mom to know I went training. Cup noodles was lunch and movie was entertainment. Scary encounters at condo makes me think twice about sleeping again.
Oh well, at least I learnt abit of the purple kata. And having the silat people, most of which were friends, watching was rather embarrassing, with the cast on this pitiful guy. Theres a strain on my left knee now, which can be quite a nuisance when doing your kicks. I realise the small pain after the tournament, using my feet as my upmost support. Now I think its feeling more because of my jump kicks attempts'. The idea of getting supplements is rather a wish now. If I have money that is. Yes I know the fact of my poor supply of nutrients and vegies in my daily diet, but I can seem to change the habit. Though, I wont stop trying.
Mom, can you please buy me some supplements?
P.s. Discipline.
