Finally week at home

days at home are running short
there is definitely time to meet friends
but friendship takes two hands to clap

The return of mianbao

the fire in me has been staying small for a long long time

exams coupled with all the physiotherapy shit

i was told im ahead of time for my knee recovery

and will be able to run on my own this week onwards

i have waiting for this week for 4 months

its really an self-achievement

week after week of physio

shaggg

im glad i discovered TED.com

and found an alternative source of motivation in these dark times

with all my friends busy studying

and my 6 papers to face

as well as those annoying knee problem

its really hard for me

but i guess i have to stop asking myself why me

and ask why not me?

just like how i learn from TED

i was hit in the left knee when im at the top of my fitness

and i saw all these opportunity went pass and gone forever

the video...

bought back my memory of my air force times

when im there in Tamworth Australia doing my air grading course

the day that i failed my flying test

was the day the doors of  many other opportunities opened

my knee is my life

just like any other part of me

let the new knee help me embrace the new life ahead

Walking

brace is finally off for a few days now
slowing getting back to shape for normal walking
every step i took
i know its a step closer to getting back on track
the goal is there i will i achieve it
i know its coming
its coming

i got the chance for an interview with keppel offshore marines last week
i turned it down
for some reason i believe i cant get into my formal wear and down to tues
and they person who contacted me suggest that i try on the next window
which is on Jan
oh well
we shall keep that in view

Programmer of SU20 is formed up
pretty much going into shape soon
hope for the best for my subgroup
and hopefully it will be as good as GG.sg
haha

been through that kind of selection process
and knowing that last year my seniors did about the same thing
the thought is just funny
imagining people commenting about you in a room
considering your capabilities and stuff
haha
its damn good to be senior

went on to ns.sg
realise my status is permanently down pes
its so tough
to decide if i should up pes again so i can join back my frogman family
but again
the road ahead is fully of uncertainties
sigh
one injury so much problems

Frustration

it looked so easy to me
the crutches
its really easy to use
but well.. using it reminds me of those endless evolutions back in ndu
its just walking
but take out my left leg and use crutches
the kind of intense use of right leg muscle is really a chore
compensation for the left have its toll on the balance of the whole body
one have to really been through it to understand

if not for the menicus trimming
i guess im up and walking without crutches already
the physio told me not to put stress on left leg at all
thats really a huge restriction
so close yet so far
i feel that i can walk already
but need to hang in there
2 weeks she say
hope there wont be any dragging

school work is piling up again
this time with the knee problem
i cant run
i lost one major mode of stress relief channel
sports...
just waiting for the go ahead from the doctor to start swimming
and it will all get better

getting better getting better
stay strong and keep going
hooyah!

Physio

Went physio for my knee yesterday
i knew it was important but thought it would be easy for me
it aint that easy to control those muscles without the tendants there
and the new graft in my knee now have no join with the bones so i have no choice but to wait
lai ah.. lets do some physio!

Baby steps

im beginning to walk again
without crutches
yea man.. the feeling of walking without that equipment feels good
feels that im alive again
i felt that i can do more and more
feel like going for a ride
for a run and stuff
but it aint that easy as positive i can get
haha
appointment tomorrow to have my bandage removed
soon.. its coming

Road to recovery

Life will not be that easy for me after the surgery today
My acl reconstructure was performed and it went smoothly
Mother and dear was with me all the way. So much thanks to them
Not forgetting many msgs from friends too. I ask dear to take a photo for me of myself to let me remember of this pain that i current suffer. So as to remind myself to constantly becareful when doing sports in the future
I am positive and i will be back in action soon. I will be persistent and be at my top during all physios.
I can. I will. I do. Hooyah!
Nothing stands in my way!
