Title: Unnamed
Its been a week since I am back from my trip. After some calculation, I realised that it was an expensive trip, the accomodation and air tickets were cheap, no doubt about that. I think I spent a lot on my shopping and the 'swiping' of my card, haha. Iw ent back to my office on Monday and brought along the goodies i bought from my trip, once i switched on my PC, i saw a lot of unread mails and some follow-up actions that need to be done but i simply do not have any idea how to do it. This is the post-trip effect, haha, I really do not know how to get the things done or how to get it going. I took a break went to the mess had a cup of coffee before i start the ball rolling again. Slowly but surely, things start to move and i am getting back to where i was before the trip. Hehe, never thought that this trip would have such undesirable effects on myself but i do not mind at all actually.
It was a busy week actually, had to finish up on a assignment which was left undone or i pass it to my colleague and now I am back, close the assignment as soon as possible. The defining moment came when i playing soccer on wednesday with my camp mates at the basketball court. As usual, I was running around chasing the ball and attempting to score from any angle, hehe. when it was about time to go, i tried to backheel the ball into the path of my incoming teammate who was running in. I missed the ball completely and i pulled my hamstring, it was painful and it was unbearable. I sat down totally could not move at all, couldn't even stand up and shake it off. That's it, it was the signal to end the day's session. i limped my way back to my unit and it was painful, the pain was horrible!! In my mind, i was thinking is this injury going to affect my work? I really still have work to do and i cannot afford to stay away for too long even though i wish i could. I sat down at the mess started to massage my leg and stretching, hoping to loosen the affected area and shake it off. I went back told my mum about this, my dad went down to buy the 'counter-pain' cream for me to rub it. It was quite effective actually, I could feel the 'hotness' so i think that's good.
The next day, it was better managed to walk but it was uncomfortable. No choice, at least this is better than having to go see a doctor and wasting money. I had to leave the office around noon to go over to Raffles Place MRT station. I am going there to do some trials on some equipment. The experience was rewarding, I managed to recap some of the things i have learnt while i was on course back then. Its rather embarrassing also because the public is looking at you, wondering what's this guy doing with that piece of thing?? So it was a good experience for me actually except for that awkwardness.
Today, i went back to my alma mater, Whitley Secondary School. One of my friends, started passing around this message that there was a carnival going on today because the school is moving to Toa Payoh for 2 years before shifting back again. So its going to be a holding place for them at Toa Payoh. It was great to see some of my ex teachers still there teaching though they couldn't recognize me anymore. The carnival was quite boring actually or maybe it was in the afternoon and it was ending soon so nothing much going on. But i went back not for the carnival but to meet up some old pals whom I have not seen quite some time. It was a good afternoon before i went back home to sleep.
I shall stop here now. Cheers~
