MC Day!

Well, after putting up the last post on Sunday, I went off to play basketball again - and in the process, landed on my ankle wrongly whilst jumping for the ball; and ended up spraining it. So I limped back, and hopefully it would be ok by Monday (yestersay).

However, things got worst and I decided to pay a visit to the doctors at Singapore Post Centre. However, the doctor dun even dare to touch it, Alamak! Anyway, he gave me 2 days of MC. Unfortunately, there was work to be done, and I ended up staying the whole of Monday. I also came down with a bad throat & a fever decided to join the fun as well.

BTW, do you know the difference between a sprained ankle and a twisted ankle?

I didn't know and asked the doctor. Whilst I was expecting him to point out the differences with a lecture, he told me flatly there isn't any. 'Twisted and sprained is same loh with a "dun-ask-me-too-difficult-question" look'

So, morning came and I headed off to the traditional sinseh a Chinatown. Many years ago, when I was having a recurrent shoulder and back problem, I came to this place religiously. After so many years, the place still remained the same and the couple running the shop didn't change a single bit and like still wearing the same clothes. I think they must be millionaires or something by now. A lot of ah po and ah gong do there to rub their leg, hands, back whatsoever everyday.

Ol skool la the place ... check out the furniture & signages!







It was over in mins since I was the 1st customer. I swore he tried to break my leg even further.



But right now, it DOES feel better already. I really should get a pair of proper basketball shoes with good ankle support.

Since I am already at Chinatown, might as well get some good breakfast right? So, me and Dad continued on the ol-skool adventure, deciding to go to Uncle Joe's for porridge.



The store is another one of those damn long time never eat places. I had been eating Uncle Joe's porridge and mee sua since I was 3 years old I think (anyhow pull out 1 number). Still tastes the same after all these years. Raw fishy still nice ... Amazing! I also dunno why I call him Uncle Joe (maybe it's my dad's old time friend or something like that).

Back in SG la

Batam was ALMOST fun. It was good to get out of the office environment for a few days.

I personally didn't think we achived much during the workshop other than eat and eat and eat. Even managed to squeeze in a few table tennis & pool sessions.

Oh, BTW, the place was Holiday Inn Batam, not Hilton as previously described. It was only 2 mins away from the ferry terminal, and I would not mind going back for the swimming pool. It's a not too bad get away.

Worst thing was on Friday night, my new K600i decided to go kaput, and now it can be turned on. I took a couple of pictures before that, and now that it can't be switched on, I can't upload any pictures to show and tell.

So for today (and since Friday night), I will remain uncontactable till I get my new set in the office tomorrow. Meanwhile, hopefully the guys at Sony Ericsson will be able to fix my HK bought set.

Otherwise, I have to send my set to Hong Kong or go back again for a holiday next month. =O

Batam!

Tired as hell, but still can blog.

Workshop's going to be tomorrow.
Gotta wake up at 6 am to share a cab to Harbour Front in time for 7 am Ferry to Batam.

We're going to stay at Hilton Batam - I really don't know if that's good or bad news.



Eh, hope the place looks better than this picture - anyway, any hours off from the office is always good I guess. Just that I have to run around clearing ads again, which kinda sucks.

Will be back Sat morning, so be good, people.
