Surgery again

 Suffered a bad fall when playing Lava Grid. Snapped my ACL and then, went back to the hospital I was working in to get it check. At first I was hoping its just gonna be sprain on the knee, but then, real true shit is, ACL was fully torn.


Was then told by the surgeon that people can live with ACL tear, however, I had this uneasiness on my right side of the right knee, which is causing me alot of buckling of knee. I thought, well ok, let's just give it a go and travel overseas. So, in Aug, I went Taiwan with Evonne and Penang for my first ever conference, with Evonne as well.


Buckled my knee so so many times during the Taiwan trip and thats when I decided I must undergo the surgery.

Oh, by the way, conference is truly a great way to learn things fast. At least for me, details will bore me to death, and so, when presenters present in a way that's short and sweet, I am able to grasp and understand what they are saying. I hope there will be more conferences in SG for social workers.


Well, fast forward to 15 Sept, thats the day I had my surgery, and was told to be on non weight bearing status got 2 weeks.


My recovery journey is really gonna be long because the surgeon says for full resume of activities, it will have to take about a year. For walking without aid, it will take about 2 to 3 months.


Hai... people, take care of your knee man. And... no traveling for me at all till after june 2026. :(

Have the sudden urge in wanting to write an entry with my new nuphy60 keyboard. It just makes you feel so damn clever when typing away. The tik tik tiak tiak sound from the keys truly makes you look more clever. Just looks... Well, I have completed one travel with my friend and went Sydney, drove up to Brisbane. We did stopovers at Port Stephen, Port Macquarie, Coff Harbour, Byron Bay, Gold Coast and then to fly out in Brisbane. The whole trip took us about 12 days. For those who chanced upon this blog, I would suggest to only  drive when you are travelling out  of Sydney. The parking and tolls are insanely expensive than our carparks (exclude MBS lah hor) and ERP. Got another upcoming trip and it would be my last trip. Why is it a last trip? Well, I have been accepted (verbally only, waiting for the black and white) to study Masters in Social Work with SUSS. School is gonna start in July 2024 and honestly, I doubt I will have the time to go for long distance travels. Its gonn...

2025!!

2024 has been a year that I started to challenge myself on things that I never thought I will do.  Drive solo during my Nov perth trip was a total new challenge, not because of the driving but the distance of driving solo for 1300km in 3 days. Totally love it and that driving trip made me thought through alot of things, about life, about religion, about what I want and hope to achieve. I went back to school in Aug 2024. Started my Masters in Social Work programme. I like that I am back to school because it's new and refreshing, it's good to see newbies and seeing them reminded myself at why did I choose social work. Exam results was a total surprise, with one A-, one B and a C+. I think i do well and it sort of given a boost in my confidence of studying. I am excited about 2025, other than the time passing so fast every year, but i like to try and think about the uncertainties at the front journey. I know I will be well because I have truly a great bunch of friends. Wishing you...

Ending 2023 with no bangs (but I got fringe)

 I have been trying to keep my blog alive, at least for myself and not for readers (not as though I got readers). The first half of 2023 was a hell ride. I think the only good thing that has happened during the first half of the year was my 3 weeks of Europe trip. I was asked to reflect the issues that has happened way back in 2022 during my 3 weeks trip. Of course, travelling alone, I had lots of time to myself in reflecting the matter. It took me till near end of this year to come to realisation. Well, better late than never! I was in a relationship for a brief period and I am glad that has ended. Though I did not wish to be in that situation, however, I cannot have any control and it is very unfortunate that it happened. Its probably quite clear to me that I would prefer to stay single and just be by myself. Second half of 2023 consist of more excitement, with my sprained ankle, I did not do the Mount Kinabalu climb however it was a good trip for me, to explore Sabah abit and I ...
