Proud Of My Injury...?
I was chatting with Weijie the other day when he mentioned that I seem rather proud of my injury. I told him that I was, indeed, quite proud. After all, how many people can suffer such injuries in his/her life? How many people can bounce back? I see patients who have broken their arms wallow in self-pity everytime I go for my physiotherapy. They cry, they hide, they just refuse to stand up. I'm not going to their level. I'm going to be back and better. I'll be more proud when I get back to the courts playing basketball. Will you have the will to bounce back if you broke your arm?

Back From The Hospital...
I just got back from the hospital. I went for some physiotherapy then took some X-rays of my arm before seeing the doctor for my review. My hospital leave has been extended until Sunday so I'm starting work on Monday. It's about time because my savings are running low after today's trip to the hospital. Spent $100 on the X-rays and shit.
Anyway, my X-ray results show that one of my bones is healing well but the other only improved a little. It's still in 2 segments, held together only by the plates in my arm. I'm seeing the doctor in 2 months' time and if things do not improve by then, then the doctor will consider bone grafting. It is basically getting a piece of bone (I don't know from where) and putting it between the gap of the bone. I hope I won't have to do that.

Today 2 Months Ago...
I was just listening to the radio when the DJ asked listeners to recall what they did a month ago, in a rather sentimental way. I tried to recall what I did today a month ago, but I couldn't seem to recall much as I spent almost everyday at home recuperating.
However, I do remember what I was doing today 2 months ago. I was playing basketball and I broke my arm. Yes, it's 28th January. It's been 2 months already. I'm not sure if that's fast or slow. I struggled past every slow day but 2 months seemed to have flew past so fast.
If I could turn back time, I would never allow myself to break my arm, but it's 2 months late to say shit like that, isn't it? I must look forward, for great things to come.

My Week...
I'm fucking tired now. I've been sleeping at 6am and waking up in the afternoon for the past few days. It's becoming a routine. My metabolism and biological clock is going haywire. What do I do? I read books and watch videos on Youtube. I found tons of funny videos on the site. Fucking entertaining.
Anyway, about my week. I caught The Holiday (Yes, I do enjoy romantic movies) last week. I know it's a bit late as it's last Christmas' blockbuster but it's better late than never. The film is BRILLIANT! It is one of the best films I've caught. Nancy Meyers really outdid herself. I thought What Women Want was great but The Holiday was way better. Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet were outstanding while Jack Black and Jude Law were oozing with charisma. Seriously, go rent it if you haven't watched it.
I've been jogging these few days. It feels great to exercise although my stamina sucks due to not exercising for almost 2 months. My arm's doing very well, but I really hope I can play basketball again. I will not give up hope. Like a certain sports brand says, Impossible is Nothing.
What else? Hmm... Oh yeah, I spent $130 in Kinokuniya on Wednesday. Hurt my pockets but I just can't help it. I simply love Kinokuniya. I love surrounding myself with all those brilliant books. I would have bought more if I had the money. I bought a book on learning Japanese (I'm hell-bent on mastering the language by this year), a book on HTML and CSS as I'm currently working on a website, and 2 books for viewing pleasure, one English and one Chinese (My range is quite broad). Now I can stay at home and read, and not go out and spend money.
Somehow I have this insatiable hunger for knowledge. I keep wanting to absorb and know more things. I can be on Wikipedia for days, reading articles. I can't help myself. Haha. Anyway, I'm going back to the books.

21st Birthdays...
Many of my friends are celebrating their 21st birthdays this year. I had received quite a few invitations already, but I did not go to any of them and I have no intention to go to any celebrations that may be held later this year.
Why? Because I think it's rather meaningless. As someone whose 21st birthday had long gone, I can tell you that it's really no different from other birthdays. Like Valentine's Day, society made a big fuss over the 21st birthday. It's a grand excuse to invite the whole world to gather at a place to eat and talk shit.
The only 1 celebration that made me wanna go was probably Benedict's although I did not turn up due to unforseen circumstances (I overslept). Why? Because he invited a few close friends to have a simple meal. Friends who know each other well. It's so much better than lumping all your primary school friends, secondary school friends and JC friends in a confined space and expect them to interact and have fun.
Speaking of confined space, I think the worst kind of celebration is in a chalet. Until now I still cannot understand the logic behind a chalet. Why would I wanna squeeze with X number of people (worse if you don't know them) in a room when I have a queen-size bed for myself at home? Why would I wanna spend time starting a fire and cooking food, only to find them half-cooked when I can have proper meals at home? Why? You tell me why.
Almost all my friends are celebrating their 21st year of existence this year. If I attend all of their celebrations, imagine the amount I have to spend on presents. All those for nothing received on my birthday.
Call me a punk. Say I'm miserable because I didn't celebrate my 21st birthday. Consider me committing social suicide. I just can't be bothered to be part of your sensationalised self-indulgence. Maybe, just maybe, I'll attend a few close friends' celebrations but that's the limit.

About Random Things...
It's been some time since I last wrote anything. There are many things I wanna write, I think, but I'm either too busy or too lazy. Finally, on this Friday night, I decide to write something, but the things I'm going to write are rather incoherent. Fuck it, I'll just write.
My Arm...
It's getting better. It's getting straighter with every theraphy session, but my thumb's still damn weak. I can't even hold a pen properly. The doctor said that it will get better. I do hope those are not comforting words.
Huge Prawns...
Last week, my father brought some fucking huge prawns back to cook. The prawns are really fucking huge. They're like mini-lobsters and one prawn is bigger than a sardine. I can fit my whole thumb into the head of the prawn after I tore it out, and I can even wriggle my thumb in its brain. Of my 21 years roaming this sunny island, I've never seen anything quite like that. Maybe I lack knowledge and am making a big fuss over them, but they are really fucking huge. I took pictures with my phone, but my bluetooth device is not working well so I cannot show you guys.
Prince of Persia...
I got my hands on the Prince of Persia trilogy recently and I just completed the third game this morning. I never thought I'd enjoy the games because I never liked solving puzzles, but the games' captivated me for days. Go play them if you have time.
Business...
I spent a few days deciphering HTML codes because I was tasked by Erick to make a website for our business. I started from scratch and made a few pages. We met up to discuss things last week. I really look forward to launching this idea.
Reading...
I have been reading these few days. I read a few self-improvement books and I'm currently on a book called Best of Singapore Erotica (What did you expect from me?). I am planning to write a book similar to that. If you have any ideas or suggestions then feel free to tell them to me.
Dieting...
I'm currently on a diet because I am fully aware that I'm losing shape. Based on research by some top university in the States, the best way to lose weight is to have a protein diet, so I'm currently only eating meat and fruits. I'm off rice, noodles and bread. I haven't had a proper meal in almost a week. Let's look forward to the results.
Blogging...
I think I'm losing my drive to write. And my English doesn't seem to be as good as the past. I will have to sort that out.
That's all for now, although I have this feeling in my gut telling me that I'm missing out a lot of things. I'll leave them for next time then.
