I’ve been going out so much these few days, woke up & felt my calves quite aching & ankles quite pain. Boo.
I guess this shall be my last post for this year or maybe second last. So here goes.
I’ve been going physiotherapy these few days as I’m going overseas to Hainan for volleyball training with my team tomorrow. Pretty exited!
So, at first the first few physiotherapy sessions were manageable as he just asked me do some basic stability exercises as well as exercise to train up my calf and (ankle) muscles. After 2 sessions of such simple physiotherapy, Edson told me that the next physiotherapy we’ll be doing some jumps after he taught me how to tape my legs properly. I was extremely keyed up!
Never did I know that hell training was awaiting me the next physiotherapy session. Firstly, Edson taught me how to tape my ankles properly, according to the Dr Ben Tan & Edson, it is much effective than wearing ankle guards or ankle brace, however it is quite unsustainable as it requires a lot of tape & it’s very sticky. He did a demonstration of how it was done on my left ankle, then it was my turn to tape my right ankle, it little bit complicated but luckily I still could memorise it, up till now. So! Anyone who needs me to help you tape your leg for extra protection for ankles, tell me! & prepare a lot of tape. The warm up was 5minutes of jogging. Then I proceeded to do step ups of 20 x 3 sets. After that was calf raise with weights of 10 x 4 sets. When that was over, I had to walk on tiptoes while carrying 5 kg weights for 5minutes x 3 sets. When all these were over, I was seriously quite worn out already. My calves were BURNING. Then he used the elastic tape & tied it around my ankle & I was supposed to like push or pull away from it for 10 x 4sides x 3sets. Later I had to balance on a board that had a roller kinda thing below it. It was more challenging than it looks! After doing it & falling down for quite some times, I realized that my left ankle is really much weaker than my right as my right ankle was much more stable. My right ankle could balance on it without falling down as compared to my left ankle which I fell like 3 to 4 times. Surprisingly, Edson took a ball & started to spike at me, so I was supposed to receive it while balancing it. It was kinda crazy la. But it really trains up my core stability of balance, so I don’t care. Next I had to balance on the gym ball single legged. It was also very demanding. But I managed it somehow. After that, I had to jump single legged onto a board which is around 20 cm for 20 x 4directions x 2 ankles. It was extreme man. It was super hard for my left ankle to keep jumping & jumping & landing & landing. I kept losing my balance. I swear it was harder than all the trainings I’ve been to throughout my 7 years of volleyball training. When I thought nothing could be worst, guess the next exercise? I was suppose to just over a SMALL HURDLE, around 30cm, SINGLE LEGGED. Oh my god la. I almost died I swear. Super duper hyper cyber ultra very very tough la. Jumping over & back is counted as 1. So I had to do 10 of those x 4 directions x2ankles. This is the HARDEST of all the exercises I’ve had tried before man. Then it came down to the last 2 exercises, by then I was already dying. The next one was that I have to jump front, side, back, side. That 4 jumps single legged was 1 set. I had to do 10sets x clockwise & anticlockwise x 2 ankles. What the heow man. THE LAST ONE. Was agility I think. I had to step into boxes & out for as many times as I can within few minutes. This was kinda the slackest, fortunately. After that I had to go ultra sound scan. They applied the ultra sound gel on my ankles & massaged it with the machine. Not bad quite comfortable. Actually anything away from those exercises were good. Lastly I had to do icing on my leg for 20minutes I hate the first few minutes. It was always burning/ cold ttm. But after a while I think my ankle & the icing reach thermal equilibrium. So there was not much pain anymore. That, was ONE session of physiotherapy. & I had another appointment with him THE NEXT DAY. The next day’s intensity was higher, so you can imagine the pain I’ve been through.
Anyway, I’ve been going to town a lot these few days. Munny $$$$$$$$$$ fly ~ I went to orchard on the eve of Christmas Eve for shopping with my sister & cousins. Nothing much except that there was A LOT of peapurl. We did minimal shopping as things there were pretty $$$$$$$. I only bought a levis jeans & belt. That was already 200bucks wth right. But quite worth it I guess. My cousin wanted to take many many pictures of orchard road so, we walked around the whole place & took photos.
Peeektures spam.
The picture I anyhow put one so don’t blame me for anything.
The next day was team outing!
I went to school to collect some leftover goods (ERHEM ERHEM BINGRU), buy school uniform, badges & collect my Christmas present from Galvin! :D
I went to school early to collect the polo tees because we left it three for 2 days already. Luckily nobody took it. So lucky man. I thought bingru took it, while bingru thought I took it. LOL. After I took the polo tees I walked to high school to buy uniform, turns out that the new uniform will only be available on 4th jan, Faith’s birthday! I bought badges for Zheng Ting, Hong Sen, & myself, & went to boarding school to collect my Christmas present from Galv. After everything was done it was already 1030, almost going to be for my date with teammates. Who knows when I going to go out already, Elvin smses to ask me buy for him. So the forever nice guy senior me walked all the way back to buy 5 more badges – this sentence, let it be sentence1.When I was almost out of school Peng Ru smsed me to buy for him. *insert sentence1*. I was ALREADY OUT of the school, waiting for bus, Han Ying smsed me to buy for him. *insert sentence1* AGAIN. So it turned out that I was waiting for the bus back home at 1130. SUPER LATE.
So in the end I met them at SHAW at 1.20, just in time for BODYGUARDS & ASSASINZ. The show was gooood. Action-packed & full of Chinese history. Fortunately I was in Bi-cultural Studies program, so I understood the plot. I guess the plot would be rather confusing for those who didn’t study china’s history. Zheng Ting went home while we proceeded to Iluma to play LAN, CS source. 3.50bucks per hour, expensive fun. So fun to kill all the nubs who play dotA all day long but don’t play CS. HEHE. Then some of them had to go home, BEING THE EVER NICE CAPTAIN ME, I treated them to Chewy Junior, my all time favourite snack :D Then we went to Bugis street as Han Ying wanted to buy new Bermudas. As we shop shop along, Dong Ying was tempted to buy too, so there goes 25bucks for 2 berms. Later Han Ying went to the airport to fetch his parents home (*WONDERFUL* Christmas present for him). We ate at Fish & Co. the funny part was when we were preparing to pay, the GST & SVC was loads man. In the end we were so pissed we gave them a lotttt of coins. The total bill was 81bucks! Then we went to Orchard to spend the last of Christmas Eve.
I SWEAR ORCHARD IS NOT THE PLACE TO BE FOR GIRLS. You will surly confirm plus chop guarantee get molested or something la. There are SO MANY peapurl!!!!! I had to hug zhengjie’s bag, Dong Ying had to hold onto my shoulders, but Wei Ren had no trouble at all – he is 185cm tall. LOL. The lightings were not bad, but incomparable to last few years, probably due to the economic crisis. Another lousy point is that there are ecstatic peapurl who sprays the soapy thingy thingum. Luckily we ALLL escaped it by constantly dodging & moving very fast across the crowds. Lastly, the lousiest thing of all it that there is NO COUNTDOWN AT ALL. SO SDOOOBID.
I reached home super late, & conversed with friend(s) until even later though I was really tired, but all was worth it becos I’m leaving for Hainan tomorrow till 31st December.
BYEBYE GUYS! MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D
GOING TO HAINAN FOR TRAINING! GO TEAM GO (:
Hcvb ftw!

Let’s start the update with the recent 6 Diligent Gathering.
We were supposed to meet at East Coast Park BBQ pit D48. Since there was a straight bus – 196, from my home, I obviously took it out of laziness. Never did I know it took around 2 hours from my house to the bus stop. I sit until my butt rot already. I counted, it was 78 stops. SIAN. Can you understand my misery?! I got down 196 & started to slowlyyyyy walk there. SPRAINING BOTH LEGS IS SO ~!@#$%^&*() troublesome to walk! Hate it. At first I didn’t know where was D48, so I just anyhow walked, when Kang Raye called me, we realized that I was walking the opposite way. Dang. Kang Raye ran to find me. Thank you very much (: luckily we found each other soon & started to walk the right way, literally the right side, way. Okay here’s the worst part, the bbq pit D48 is so DAMN frigging FAR. I sunpa it took me at least half an hour to walk there man. CRAZY. We reached the pit (not so soon), & played with the water. It was gratifying to see so many of my ex-classmates there. Around half. HAHA. I think it was around 22+. The bbq was failz. I believe that they took around 2 hours to start the fire, & when it extinguished, they took another 1 or 2 hours to start it again. In the end only the first fire cooked edible food, the second fire was so (strong?) it overcooked all the food. All in all, I thought it was quite fun, considering the overcooked food, rain, walking distance & what not.
Let the picture do the rest of the talking ~
Zuan hungrily looking at the food on the tissue paper, or sexy Amanda’s legs?
Now what is zuan looking at or thinking?
Oh. So all he wanted was just to give kang raye’s butt a flying kiss.

Erica : “ Huixian I want to take picture with youuuuuu.”
Huixian : “ okay. (poses)”
ME : “ let the chopstick destroy to picture.”
Erica : “ Stupid Max! Go away. Huixian lets take 2.”
Turns out that without my ‘help’, Erica looks super wrong, & Huixian looks like a VAMPIRE I sunpa. LOL.
ME : “ I’m sorry kang, I was trying to get out of your couple photo but too late.”
ME : “ time for foooood(?)”
ME : “ GIMME SOME FOOOD!”
Kang : “ Don’t forget me.”
Erica, Wan Xin: “ DOWAN TO GIVE YOU. “
Zuan : “ Nyeh ni nyeh ni poo poo! “
ME : “ emo. Go away. “
Erica : “ let’s all take many many peektures first then I give yall food.”
Zuan : “ walao so mean, Bish!”
Huixian : “ -.-“ - I sunpa it looka ALIKE.

Wan Xin & Zuan : “ we so extra but nevermind. “
Kang Raye & Erica : “ woah camera man so handsomeeee.”
Wan Xin : Cant control his laughter.
Me : “ `bleh! “
Huixian : “ must pose nicely so he will notice me! “
*on a side note, Huixian’s hands look LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
Me & Kang Raye : “We sounded the Hunter's Horn. We were successful in out hunt! We caught a 65kg Monkey Choon Zuan Mouse from the Festive Comet worth 3,794 points and 967 gold.
The mouse also dropped the following loot:
1 Six Snow Balls”
Huixian : “ this mouse so cute!”
Erica : “ They sounded the Hunter's Horn, but my efforts were fruitless. A Monkey Choon Zuan ate a piece of cheese without setting off my trap. BISH! “
Wan Xin : “ Zuan I think got stalker talking pictures of us.”
Zuan : “ woah wait I pose first (:”
Zuan : “ just now not nice, take 2!”
Wan Xin : Hides away.
Zuan : “ still taking!? I smile again.”
Wan Xin : “ I go call the police.”
Zuan : “ STILL TAKING I GO HIDE ALREADY! “
Wan Xin : “ HAHAHAHAHA now my turn to be the limelight! “
Zuan & Wan Xin : Disappears in a split second & the end.
* every caption is just for fun & no offence intended to whosoever.
OKAY WHAT THE HEOW I SPENT 2 HOURS DOING THAT HAHHAA.
Kay moving on, I shall update about yesterday’s physiotherapy!
I went to novena early to accompany someone to the hospital since I had physio also later. We walked around velocity, sqaure2, novena square. In the end we sat down & chatted for damn long. We also watched the ice skating at velocity at 12.30pm. my second time watching, but still very nice!
I sent my friend to the mrt then went to meet my sister for the physio.
My psychiatrist is Edson. Damn cool. He asked me about how did I injure my BOTH legs & gave me some massage & tested the workability of my legs. Later we started doing some exercises to strengthen the other legs muscles in my legs. The hardest was the balancing on a see-saw kinda board while throwing balls to him. That was super crazy. So hard to balance! We did many many exercises. After that he used the ultrasound gel & massaged my ankles, but I think it was to scan for progression or something. Lastly I had to ice my ankles for 20 MINUTES. SUPER COLD SUPER BURN LA. The pain was excruciating man. I almost died inside the room. Luckily they professional, use dry ice, so don’t have any water dripping out, if not I really come out frozen.
I finished my physio then headed home. Soon after that I went out with my family to watch Avatar 3D!
Avatar 3D truly is something else, a wondrously-detailed visual extravaganza quite unlike anything you've seen before. I SWEAR. WATCH IT! Nuff said.
BYEBYE.
