Each time i wanted to write, it happens and i had to report before i could write again weeks later.
By then, i would have forgotten what was on my mind previously.
Anyway...
Month of September zoomed past like the F1 racing cars.
Even if you haven't grown sick of hearing me saying that i'm busy, tired and worn out, i think i had enough of repeating myself.
Just so much to do, but so little time.
I'm having my diary opened right in front of me right now and i shall select some to write about.
On the first day of September, Xian and i embarked on our first cafe hunt at Casual Poet.
It's quaint and pretty, albeit the very limited menu and space. It's ok.
The rare chill for the night made it exceptionally relaxing.
On the ninth day of September, i attended the wedding of the century!
I was really honoured to be part of Isaac and Joy's big day.
Such a blessed couple. =) And that's Persi on the left.
Ten days later, i had my very first hen party! I wasn't the hen of course.
With Angie's wedding in less than two weeks away, we have decided to make it a spectacular one before she ends her bachelorettehood.
Oh i realised i'm hereby making a debut feature since the night of the event!
Truthfully speaking, i wasn't quite sure on how to deal with the photos and videos taken that night. It wasn't really obscene but i'm obliged to protect the reputation of my friend. Heh.
The party involved a series of tasks (to be fulfilled by the hen of course), approaching of strangers, roaming the busy mall, shouting and screaming, kissing (!!!), deh-ing, (erotic) gifts, and deep sharing and praying which was the highlight, in my opinion.
Angie was so sporting and cooperative which made our job uber easy and we ended 1 hour ahead of time.
On Children's Day, Angie will be Mrs Loy and i bet it'll be the happiest day of her life! =)
On the last Friday of September, i finally took my first step to my brokeback recovery journey.
SGH is one huge complicated hospital man.
I started at the clinic when i had the interim check by the doc before i was sent for an X-ray.
At the X-ray room, it was a combination of a Principal Radiologist and two interns from NYP.
Interns being interns, they appeared pretty obliging to their very senior supervisor, despite his demanding requirements.
I remained uber cooperative even, for the longest time, they couldn't adjust me to the right position. However i couldn't help but giggled when the PR knocked his head against a machine when he tried to straighten his body from a bend-over. I was quite sure that the interns were controlling hard to avoid flunking their internship. I is bad. Hahaha...
Later, i went back to the clinic for the X-ray review. Doc said that my bones seem normal and he suspected that the pain was caused by worn-out (!!!!) disks! "Worn-out" made me sound so old.
Anyway, i had to do a MRI test before any concrete conclusion. Before the next follow-up, physiotherapy seems to be necessary too. Oh well.
Just as i was about to leave, the nurse (assisting the doc) asked if i needed a medical chit. In actual fact, i didn't exactly need it since i had some "leftover" leave but i didn't mind the offer. So i agreed and her response caught me totally off guard.
"Wotewer you nid, you haf to oben your mouf to arsk!"
I stared at her in disgust but i didn't think she saw my distorted facial expression under my mask. The doc smiled embarrassingly as he pretended to scrutinize at his online news.
Excuse me?? I'm not too sure if that's the right attitude towards the patient aka the customer!
I was more startled than angry.
Subsequently, i wasn't too impressed when i had to make several trips, physically, to the various departments to make the respective appointments. i.e. physio at Rehabilitation so on and so forth. They should seriously consider upgrading to a centralised appointment system! I certainly wouldn't enjoy it if i'm 40 years older walking at half my current speed.
Anyway, i wouldn't be bothered to continue with the displeasure as i left the hospital.
I proceeded to my personal enjoyment with some shopping and chilling at my favourite TCC. =)
Alright, those were the major events in September i considered.
With two weddings and tonnes of meetings in the coming week, i reckon it'll be some time before i could blog again.
Till then...
