This journey is incredibly humbling for me.

From being wounded and not knowing which way is up and wondering whether or not i could be ALIVE or not and at the same time, finding new MEANING in my new life in this FOREIGN place.....It's been an AMAZING journey

I am a daughter, sister, dog-owner and friend.

Currently, i am learning to train my mind and body. I want to hold my body, challenge my physical ability to a level i could never imagine.

I definitely have learn to stop letting these people who do so little for me in my life but control so much of my mind, feeling and emotions.

Learning to let them go from my life is definitely one of the best achievement i ever done to myself.

Goodbye my friends.... Hope when we meet again, we are once strangers again.

Is your birthday...

Hi.....

Is your birthday..... But I guess there will be no celebration again for this year... exactly 8 years.....

8 years of no celebration....

8 years of silent wishes...

8 years of tormenting moments....

8 years of torturing memory....

That's my 8 years....

" What's yours????

How are you doing for these past 8 years????

Are you doing well??? "

Sometimes, i wish i succumb into  amnesia so i never have this unanswered thoughts....

Sometimes, i wish i never knew you, so i don't have to this silent wishes linger in my mind.....

Sometimes, i wish i never meet you so i don't have flashbacks of all the tormenting moments we had together....

Sometimes, i wish we never meet so i never have this torturing memory.....

Sometimes, i wish I'm the one who leave first......

Endless...

I'm a Physiotherapist but am I the evidence-based practice physiotherapist??????

As a physiotherapy trainee and a person who had knee injury due to sport, I believe healing is not about seeing the best doctor or has the best medicine. During my initial injury, I received acupuncture treatment and herbal treatment.

But, I learn that herbal treatment is not suitable for acute stage in soft tissue injury. My lecturer explained that Chinese herbs are not a suitable treatment because it induces heat into the tissues and cause accumulation of fluids, thus edema occurs. But, I was not satisfied with her answer as I, myself, who had injury and herbs treatment worked for me. Thus, I went to ask my acupuncturist. He said the herbal treatment won’t work without the acupuncture because the acupuncture allowed the blocked chi to flow and the herbal treatment allowed the Chi to flow faster. And I was thinking heat is not suitable in physiotherapy as it accelerates the fluids movement but it didn’t create a path for the fluid to flow, that’s why edema occurs if heat is given for acute injury. Finally, my knee healed without any aggressive invasion of modern medicine and there is no edema but the knee is unstable and I had to stop my Tae Kwan Do. My heart crashed and my life completely changed.

Well, in my opinion the rate of healing of the wound in my heart and spirit is much slower than the one in my knee. Therefore, even though my knee healed but I still felt as though I am not healing yet. Why is this happening? Why am I feeling this way? Then, I realized that healing is not about encourage healing in the flesh but also in the heart. When a person is injured, it not only affected the person physically but also emotionally and mentally. Therefore a holistic approach of rehabilitation is appropriate in healing a person. A wound may heal completely, but can a heart heal completely as well?

Therefore, natural process comes in. Firstly, there will be inflammation stage, where I feel pain, sadness, angry at myself and refuse to calm and rationalize with yourself about your injury and refused to accept my injury. Then, follow with granulation stage where, friends and family will give advices and unconditional support to me. They make sure that my emotion is laid properly and my mind won’t go hay-wired. Layer by layer of love and care, finally, my wound is ready to heal completely and my emotion is stable and mental is strong.

Lastly, in the remodeling stage, this is the important stage because any improper healing can cause a scar which can cause more problems. In this stage, I rationalize with myself and remodel my thinking and perceptions, how I should accept my injury and make the best of it. And I slowly build up my confidence and learn how to prevent future injury and learn to take care of myself. This is the natural healing which I think is the best for me.

How to take a website screen shot without using camera anymore...

Thanks to situation... push me to learn more things..... As I'm not IT-trained... I usually learn all the IT stuffs either through Google or explore myself... and when i faced trouble, i always use that three buttons... CTRL-ALT-DELETE...... to restart my lappy again.... and usually it works... if it doesn't work.... the HP Customer Service Centre is less than 5 minutes away from my aunt place...

Well, is very easy.... what you need to do is...

2) Then, you will automatically capture the screen of the website you wanted... with no notice inform...

3) And then, open any program for pictures editing... such as ADOBE PHOTOSHOP.... or i'm using MICROSOFT OFFICE PICTURE MANAGER, and you just press CTRL-V simultaneously to insert the picture you took...

4), And voila, you have the screen shot already... do anything you... crop it... resize it... paint it...

Well, thanks to situation to force me to learn this skill.... well, is rather late but at least i know now....

I know I suppose to post this like 7 months ago... but things got my way and i totally forgot bout the pictures stored in my lappy for past few months.... went back, rearranged the pictures and remembered the promise i make for I Ling that i would talk bout it....

We woke up early.... prepared early..... and here we go, this time, we are driving to Hatyai, exactly 5 hours ride from Ipoh... Thank goodness we have lots of drivers in the same car... but the end, only one poor guy driving back and forth to Hatyai....

What is a car-trip if we didn't begin it with delicious food along the way????

Before we reach Hatyai, we stop along the way after custom check... to have our first gastronomic treat...

P1110615

So, the not-to-miss Thailand Chicken.... But once you step inside, you will see this....

P1110613

What a good idea, maybe i should ask my dad to get this... it was like the 'wow' effect when you step in and see two persons was cutting the chicken simultaneously....

Well, what can you have here

Of course, the chicken rice...

P1110611

And then you can order coke in bottle that come with this metal cup...

P1110610 The cup reminded me of kopi-O... the one my grand-aunt used to make her cup of caffeine...

Well, is not a surprise if you see cows along the way to Hatyai.... but, is a surprise if you see cow tied this way...

P1110618

And he is such a good boy, he even posed for me... And my aunt said we are like 'city-jakun'.... Kononnya, city girl never see cow before....

P1110617

So, we reached Hatyai.... but after we check in, we can't wait to cam-whore.... here is the point where the countdown start...

P1110622

Of course, we waited for the night market to begin... at the same time, enjoy the Svenson... is so much cheaper here... and people have Svenson like they have Wall's in Malaysia cause is dirt cheap here... i meant, compare with Malaysia's Svenson...

P1110631

And then, we went to department shop to shop for bra.... bra.... more bra...... and we are so tired... till we cam-whore this way...

P1110619

But then, tired is FORBIDDEN in Hatyai...

We continue to look for food on the first night...

Fried big head prawn....

P1110620

Fried Pigeon... Yu Kap...

P1110621

And then, we ate Zhong-so-called cheap bird-nest.... Around 100 baht per bowl... Is expensive la...

P1110635

However, that night is not our meal yet... that was just appetizers....

Thanks to Ms CIL's parents, we were brought to this restaurant nearby the hotel we stayed.... and we had...

Pork-Feet.... Not my favorite.... but the sauce is my favorite... sweet-sour-spicy....

P1110639

Tung Fan Fish in Coconut Milk.... Not my favorite too....

P1110641

But this is favorite.... but i don't know what it is... is some chili-prawn....

P1110643

What a meal to wrap up our day...... And i heard we are going to have weird breakfast the next day.......
