a day at the hospital wasn't as bad as I thought. Initially I was pretty afraid of what's going to happen to me and it just caught me so unexpectedly. the pain wasn't that bad, just the little discomfort of having something stuck in your hand and not able to move it however i want to. But nevertheless, what really touched me was the concern that the nurses, the service staff, the sister showed me. not really the doctors though. i hardly even saw my doctor for at least 10 mins. but anyway, the nurses, especially the ones on night duty the first night i was there, were really funny and tried to make me more comfortable and relaxed. then the next morning, the nurse on duty was really busy but it was kinda cute that she kept having to check my tag for my name before giving me my injection and medication. like again and again. haha and she didn't let me walk. but oh well, i guess she was just being safe. the service staff, even the auntie cleaning the floor was really nice and concerned. and the sister who went around everyone's bed and asked them how they were and chatted with me. then on the second night, the nurse was nice too and kept asking if i was alright when injecting the last bout of antibiotics. then she took out the IV thing. haha like finally. i was waiting for that the moment they stuck it in me haha.
Anyway, what i really want to say is: Thank you, everyone. especially my parents and my sister and my grandma and my aunties and everyone else. my parents had to work the next day yet they stayed with me till like 12 and my mom was kinda busy so she brought her laptop with her to work. then my sis who came straight after work even if she had a half day off to come visit me and i could see how tired she was as she fell asleep on my bed. then my aunt and grandma who came around noon to bring me (nice) food and accompany me because I was so bored there. yup, so thanks everyone, even for the small small things that you all have done for me, even for helping me plug my computer coz i couldn't do it myself.
i feel kind of bad because i insisted to go for the bbq which caused the whole thing. and the bill came up to a thousand plus for just one day at the hospital. luckily there was partial insurance coverage.
But I think it was a small blessing in disguise. after staying in bed for the whole day, i think my achilles heel finally recovered. but I can't go for training yet. so which means when i go for novices on sunday, provided I recover in time, I will be kind of going there unprepared. but nevertheless, I rather try my best there than withdraw from it which would be giving up. even if i don't come back with a medal, at least i can say that i tried my best, but due to unforeseen circumstances, things don't always go the way i want them to. I can only hope for the best.

I need my archilles heel to heal faster. I only have one week to go. SHIT.
And I thought archilles was a fast runner, why didn't it run away faster?
Anw, yes! SAT is OVER. Like finally. spammed tv today haha. after not watching TV for the past 2 weeks haha. BUT then I look at the work that I still have to do.
the next two weeks of school will be very busy because of training and stuff. assuming I can still fence. Urgh. novices faster over. Very stressing haha.
Anw I realise technically school ends at 2.30 everyday except friday which ends at 1245. but then friday will then be the longest day for me, ending at 10 plus because of my two tuitions and training. then the whole week I will only be able to go home at 5/6/7 plus except tues. haha i thought I was supposed to spend more time studying. oh wells.
Perseverance's the word.:)

Another nice post from Mr Brown:
A certain Eric How, allegedly a Young PAP (YPAP) member, got into a flame war with some 3in1kopitiam forumers on Facebookand posted this little gem:
"Do not be bitter and go on slapping on the Government senselessly because you did not get any fruits or benefits from your forefather. You will have to blame on your karma or your forefathers for not getting all the paths right for their off springs. My folks did the right thing by getting all the stuffs ready for us and we will never ever need to nag about the Government giving jobs to foreigners instead of locals. In fact, we create jobs for others. Our folks even make sure that we guys do not need to squeeze into public transport by getting each of us a personal car.The job market is an open competition whereby the best person gets the job and not because of nationalities. Buck up and do something right for you’re off springs so that they will be thankful to you and not turn up to be like you guys nagging senselessly.
I think Mr Eric How is right. Don't blame the gahmen for your lack of fruits and benefits! Blame your own suay karma! Blame your forefather! Who asked your loser forefathers to be useless coolies slogging away at some blue collar job? It is their fault for not setting you up with jobs and careers!
Look at Mr Eric How! His parents did the right thing by "getting all the stuffs ready" for him. No need to rely on the gahmen for jobs! Mommy and Daddy set him up good!
In fact, his Mommy and Daddy "create jobs for others", ok? We should THANK the likes of Eric How and his family for our jobs and for not being a burden to the state.
And if you feel that public transport has been less crowded lately, you can thank this Eric How and his family too! His Mommy and Daddy got him and his siblings a personal car each, so that they don't need to squeeze into the MRT and buses and add to the congestion!
How can we ever thank this Eric How and his loaded elite family for their benevolence and love for the common man? They are so considerate!
If only YPAP had more members like Eric How who truly care for the masses and contribute so much to the good of the nation!
