Hyper-Flexible

I saw my GP the other day as I need a medical professional to clear me fit after going through 5 weeks of physiotherapy. This was the first time I met with my GP. He saw Dien before and we have decided to make him our family doctor.

Anyway, he is very nice and have a good sense of humour. He typed with 2 fingers - keeping a record of my accident and he took so long to type a few sentences. I thought he was writing a thesis.

He told me to do a few "exercises" to test my flexibility after the accident.
Exercise #1: Bend down and touch my toes [I did it effortlessly]
Exercise #2: Bend down and see if I can place my palm on the floor [No problemo!]
Exercise #3: Bend my hand to see how far my thumb can reach.


This is how far my thumb can reach...it nearly touched my bracelet. CAN YOU DO THIS?

He said I was HYPER-FLEXIBLE! No one ever told me that I'm flexible, not to mentioned HYPER-FLEXIBLE!!! To start with, I thought I wasn't....that's why I took up BodyBalance 2 years ago to improve my flexibility. I was pleasantly surprise!

I told everyone that day that I'm hyper-flexible...LOL...and I came home and ask Dien to do those 3 "exercises" too...He can only do #1...hahaha....I'm better than him! (Funny)

Vacation Planning.....

My definition of vacation is out of Perth to another country (excluding Singapore). Dien said that I take vacations all the time. Where got???!!!! I told him my last vacation was to China in 2007 with him and he asked me what about my trip back to Singapore in Feb this year? To me...that's just a trip to go home to see my parents, family and friends, eating and shopping! It's not exactly foreign.

I'm now planning for my vacation (without Dien...YEAH!!!!!) I'm going to Hong Kong with my cousin and Mum. I was so excited this morning when my cousin sent me an emailing telling me she has decided to go! COOLLLL...the last time I holiday with my cousin was when she visited me in Perth in 2005 and my last holiday with Mum was 2000 when we went to Hong Kong as a family. Seriously speaking, I have only travelled with my Papa thrice in my entire 30 yrs. Our family holiday to Gold Coast in 1996, Hong Kong & Shenzhen in 2000 and when he visited Perth in 2006 for my wedding. Papa said he's not tagging along cos' we are doing Girls' Stuffs! Smart Move...otherwise you have to help us with our shopping bags!

Anyway, we have booked our tickets and just need to confirm our accommodation. Argh...it's such a headache researching for hotels. So far, the best rates are from Agoda.com. But we need a Triple Room...and Hong Kong is well known for their tiny rooms...Best rate for Triple Room is S$240 per night with extra bed. Hmm...to confirm or not to confirm???

Well, besides the accommodation headache,I'm just thinking how I should paint the HK town red....shopping, eating...HERE I COME!!!

My Preciousssssss...

I'm mourning....mourning for my loss!

I have just decided what I would like to wear tomorrow and I started looking for my leather boots to go with my skinny jeans. I knew I had put it away safely but I just couldn't find it.

Suddenly, I felt as if I was strike by lightning! The BOX...the BOX that was wrapped in plastic...that really dusty BOX which I didn't open and dump it straight into the bin when I was moving beginning of the year! The BOX that contains a pair of almost new NINE WEST BLACK LEATHER BOOTS!!!!

Argh!!!!! I'm feeling liked a mother who has just lost a child...no words could describe my loss at the moment. I'm angry with myself for not throwing away a pair of boots...but a pair of NINE WEST boots!!!!

I'm a shoe fanatic...I love my shoes. I could buy 6 pairs of shoes in 1 month and I would say itz only 6. I never used to label the boxes thinking that every pair I owned is engraved deeply in my mind. But I guessed I ran out of memory space. I started to label my boxes sometimes last year and then I learn that now you can buy clear shoe boxes to house every pair of your precious. What a waste of money I thought...rather spend the money on shoes.

But that BOX was not labelled. It was old and dusty and it was a box for a very old pair of cheap boots. However, the contents inside were not CHEAP...it was my NINE WEST!

How could I sleep tonight???

Acci-Dent

these past 2 weeks have been really eventful. i was involved in a hit and run accident 2 Sats ago and that has dramatically changed my lifestyle.

i'm a hard-core gym goer....i'm there 4 days a weeks and i need to give myself a damn good excuse for not going for any classes. so far, i have missed 8 hrs of gymning.

i've been seen my physio 5 times so far. she's a great physio and she understands what i'm going through. and i know she is working on getting me back to the gym as soon as my body is capable of taking 60mins of high-impact "drilling" in one go. she gave me some light exercises to do at home with the fitball. i got tired after 5 push ups.....thatz wat my body is capable of doing now....only 5 push ups....

now that my car is written-off and my car insurance is replacing my car.....i have to wait for 6 weeks. apparently, the colour that i chose is a very popular colour. itz silver. i stick to my words.....no more dark coloured car. itz dangerous at nite.....imagine with your headlights on and you have the right of way....you can still get smashed by an idiot driver. plus, i don't wanna get bake in the car during summer time. yes, i have air-conditioning in the car but it always feel liked furnace when i just get in...then you have to wait for the cool air to kick in...i probably would have spent 10 mins cursing away. so stick to my words.....and i will wait. god....please make the car comes sooner. my husband is not a happy man at the moment....he has to drive me everywhere. but isn't that what husband is supposed to do?

i have my holiday plans to look forward to...and i have counted my blessing to be alive after such accident. god is watching me from above. thank you. i can't wait to see my family and friends.

don't worry, i'm fine and i'm getting better and stronger each day. :)
