Today's a new day and I am feelin' emotionally so much better.... but yet physically so much worse! Haha what a paradox... feels like I went to battle last night.... played less than 2 hours of badminton at faraway YCK.... yes on a Sunday night... haha kinda crazy timing.. but had lotsa sweaty & exhausting fun with you gers!! =)

The last time I picked up the racket was donkey years ago.... was kinda hilarious at first haha.. when I kept missing when serving.. but after a while, I got better? I think? hee... it's my first time really exercising since I started my weekly therapy visits to the chinese physician with a western perspective... after consulting him on this of coz haha.. but he did say I am still not up for running yet... knee cartilage's still too weak... =(

To add on to the battered feeling... I have a fresh blue-black from Saturday's TCM torture session & a strange, ugly blood clot that suddenly appeared on the sole of my foot after I wore heels for the first time in a long while recently (it better go away quick!).... together with a faint blueblack on my wrist... it all kinda came at the same time and basically, I just feel bruised all over... a picture speaks a thousand words... so here it is... yet another blueblack mishap pic from me...



Maybe like what Mr. Bad Minton said, badminton is BAD for me too coz I overstrained myself & my leg has started to really hurt again today.. (no wonder he's always singing Michael Jackson's BAD & mixing songs singing that I am a fool... no matter what, thanks for your 'Love, Truth & Honesty' remix track.. it's kinda tackily funny actually.. I know I can always count on you for hearty humour, brudder =))... but no matter what, great workout! Whack(o)ed all those bad vibes right outta the system... too BAD MJ wasn't singing "Beat it... just beat it!" haha... guess that will only happen if KJ(MJ) becomes our tennis coach ya... =p guess I gotta pick up swimming soon instead then... if I can overcome my fear of drowning...

Maybe being injuried has its benefits... been pickin' up my fav hobby again... reading! I am enjoying being a bookaholic again * big grinz * been going to the library and all... realised just how many books I used to buy.... when I was cleanin' out my cupboard till I was sweaty & sneezy... * secret of the day: I'm a closet nerd! * ... just finished Carole Matthews' 'The Chocolate Lovers' Club'... nice, comforting book just like chocolate itself! =) Btw dear ger, the deadline's 3 Dec.. hee I know u have forgotten... (based on ya blog =p) ... I'm now onto another one.... Jane Green's 'To Have & To Hold'... no wonder I found her name familiar... I actually own one of her books, 'Mr. Maybe'! (I can loan it to you, adel ; ))... haha sometimes, reading really does wonders.... even if it's just light reading, you can relate to it so much because you are undergoing something similar in your own life and find some solace in it... it always makes me feel better to escape into another world for a while.... and somehow after it, you will know better how to deal with situations in this real, mundane world...

Well... I still have plenty of reading to do.... with the myriad of books waiting to be read by me... haha... that day while waiting, I found quite a number of "buffettology" books in the bookshop... seems quite interesting to get into the mind of Warren Buffett and learn more about his methodology... of coz seeing his name reminds me of something totally of a different nature! Not buffetology.. mind u... I think every Singaporean is already very good at it... =p That's what I heard on the radiowaves one afternoon.... "Warren Buffet! Ooppz... Buffett right?"... haha what a joker...

My gut instinct's scarily spot-on accurate sometimes.... mostly regarding not so good stuff... just 5 minutes ago, just at the very instant when I had a feeling my friend will pull out of the Zoukout outing... (tics juz bought somemore).... he msned me all the way from China... in CAPS, asking if can find someone to replace him... and I even guessed the reason correctly before he said anything, which is a valid reason though... * piangz * it's too coincidental... my gut feeling always has its strange way of working... haha it's alright la, sista... u are allowed to be 重色亲友 this time... hee... it's more important... at most you'll pay for someone else to go on your behalf k, as promised.. any takers?

Anyway thanks, Captain for your 2 am lecture and listening ear... despite you being tired from a long day of work.. and of coz pocket-busting retail therapy =p.... what you said really makes a lot of sense... which is the same as what I have been thinking about... I'll bear it in mind... really appreciate it and yes, I'll repay u by getting well! =) Good night! * back to reading my novel & dozing off as instructed *
