Just right after CNY, i fell and injured my foot; Lisfranc Injury. The swell and pain is wordless.. lack of vocab library to describe. I can only say that I am in so much pain that I cannot walk at all, at least for the 1st 2-3 weeks. Yes, I am not kidding. I am really disabled for the 1st 2-3 weeks after the fall. I was referred to the Orthopaedic specialist in KTPH by Polyclinic.
Initially I wanted to ignore the appointment as it clashed with my Coy's Annual Dinner. I did not want to miss the Annual Dinner though I have to say its nothing fantastic (my colleagues did a good job in organizing but the whole event itself is not so attractive) but its the gather-together-and-have-fun-with-colleagues type of mentalilty that makes me want to attend instead of giving it a miss. Anyway, it happened that our national father, Old Lee (RIP), passed away that same week and we have to postpone the event to further notice that i decided to go for the appt.
Boi!!! If i really missed the appointment, I would really regret it in my life later. I did not know that my injury is so serious. I did google "Lisfranc Injury" and it came up with several links to be referred to. One of the link (http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=A00162) explained in details from how small the injury is to how serious in some cases. I thought mine belongs to the small injury type but turned out i was damned wrong and I was immediately scheduled to go for corrective surgery the following Tuesday (my appointment was on Thursday). Within that few days, I have to settle my work on hand and hand over to my coll (poor gers and I really appreciate their help).
To add fuel to the fire, after the surgery, I was told that i am diabetes. My fight against diabetes starts! I see it coming (the medical condition) but I did not foresee it to be so early in my life. I was told I'm borderline but was given medication to control. After discharged, I took the medication but stopped after 1-1.5 weeks and start my fight without the medication.
It worked during my Hospitalization Leave at home. The marks disappeared (although not completely) but it worked. After I got back to work, i began to care less about my eating habit. I did try to stop taking carbonated drink but succumbed to the craving a few times. The marks came back and become darker as time goes. I brought food from home so i no longer eat lunch outside. The only difference is that I drink coffee in the morning. Every morning!! But I don't think coffee is the cause of the marks coming back right? I tried to google but it doesnt says anything about coffee being one of the cause of the marks and diabetics. BTW, my coffee is not sweet. I prefer my coffee to be abit bitter.
Also, I have been trying to slim down. I guess so far i have been correct in what i did cos i did slim down. My family, colls and friends notice and that is a good sign. Recently, I became lazy again and i have to pick up my momentum again. I have to start the slimming down process again and contd with motivation.

New Year New Start!!
1st blog of Year 2015!! This year's 1st blog started quite early. :P
Anyway, like the title says, new year new start. And its really new start for me. I changed my work wardrobe, at least, majority of it but I still wear the old wardrobe (some, the rest i threw away). Wanting to start a new year with a fresh start so a major overhaul of my wardrobe but in the end i still wear the old wardrobe for half of the week. Hahah...
I mentioned in several posts that i want to do business. Since its a new year, I finally spent the money (close to S$1K) and get the stocks in. Then realized that someone on Qoo10 is actually selling at quite a low selling price which makes the profit margin to be very minimal. I guess I have to either match the selling price or at a lower price (which i doubt i can afford to do so) so that leaves me with matching the selling price.
While doing business, i also wants to pay back to the society (sound so cheesy) but i really mean it. I have plans to sell some of the products to some group (exclusively to them) and donate some of the sales to the Non-Profit Org or the medical bills of some of the strays. But if the sales not that fantastic, i will open the sales to the public and still donate some of the proceeds to the NPO or medical bills of the strays. In doing this, I have to make sure that everything is transparent so that people will be able to trust me. Trust is very important in business and esp when it involves partial/full charity purpose.
I will need to plan carefully on the business and sales stuff and i cant delay any further. As it is, both pa and ma are making noises, with one nagging that I'm spending so much money and the latter about my room seems like a warehouse. Hahahaha.. I really need to pack the stuff away and throw away the boxes.. :P
