RunAwayI have been mentally tired for this past few days. Runaway by Avril Lavignhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWFeb6E_BxkGot up on the wrong side of life today, yeahCrash the car and I'm gonna be really lateMy phone doesn't work cus it's out of rangeLooks like it's just one of those kind of daysYou can't kick me down I'm already on the groundNo you can't, but you couldn't catch me anyhowBlue skies, but the sun isn't coming out, noToday is like I'm under a heavy cloudAnd I feel so aliveI can't help myselfDon't you realizeI just wanna scream and lose controlThrow my hands up and let it goForget about everything and run away, yeahI just wanna fall and lose myselfLaughing so hard it hurts like hellForget about everything and run away, yeahSo-so's how I'm doing, if you're wonderingI'm in a fight with the world but I'm winningStay there, come closer it's at your own riskYeah you know how it is life can be a bitchAnd I feel so aliveI can't help myselfDon't you realizeAfter listening to this song, just feel like going to Bedok Reservoir to have a jog. Running helps me to forget everything for the time being. It helps me to sweat out all my troubles. It trains me to be stronger to face my challenges. Also, after injuring my arms, have nt been training for the past few weeks. So must start to train myself to be fit again. Im too tired to care about any other thing now. Shall quarantine myself.Cheers~*.*"
How Poor We Are
Monday, October 29, 2007, 10/29/2007 11:49:00 PM
How Poor We AreOne day, a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a poor family.On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "It was great, Dad." "Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked. "Oh Yeah" said the son. "So what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father. The son answered, "I saw that we have one dog and they had four.We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us - they have friends to protect them. " With this the boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks, dad, for showing me how poor we are."cheers~*.*"
Treatment at NUH
Wednesday, October 24, 2007, 10/24/2007 09:24:00 AM
Treatment at NUHYesterday mum long pang me to NUH with my spidey cousin cause she wanted to accompany my aunt to visit my uncle who is warded in NUH. Get well soon uncle!!So I reach there about 30mins earlier. Wa. 1st time so so on time leh! Or should I say behind time?? So was down there lonely reading a book I and Faezah borrowed from the library called "Easy steps to Public Speaking" while waiting for my turn to be called. OK. The book was just damn boring. But still tried very hard to read cause it will be useful for my school CDS subject which is Public Speaking. Kinda excited in the subject cause everytime you went to the class, you must be prepared to present to the class. I treat this as a challenge cause I really hope to have the confidence to speak in front of a group of people.So before seeing the doctors, I was asked to go to the cast room to de-cast. After de-casting, my hand felt very light for the 1st time after 10days! Than the doctor took up my hand move here move there and he say my hand is not that stable. And when he turn my wrist, I felt pain around it.. Maybe due to the muscle. And I shouldnt tell the doctor about it cause he ask me to go for the X-ray on the wrist. WTH!! Wasted 35dollar on it. Should have just kept my mouth shut. =( After the X-ray, back to the reception counter waiting and waiting. And the doctor ask me in to the room and he was analyzing the X-ray and he saw fragment of bones and I told him that its past injury and he say that the ligament in my elbow may be damage and may need an operation to repair it so that in future, my elbow will not be so easily dislocated. So the doctor wanted to see my mum and discuss with her about it and so I called my mum. And heres the difficulte part. The doctor is an Indian and the Asst. doctor is I think phillipno or Indonesian who only know how to speak western English and the Nurse is a Malay. And my poor mum who is a Chinese who only understand A-Z but when the A-Z is jumble up, she dont understand already. So I was having a hard time translating what the doctor say to her for around 10mins when suddenly the Malay nurse speak Chinese. She should have speak earlier so that I wont be having to translate English to Chinese. Although I know both language, but when the doctor use words like ligament, I dont know whether to translate it to muscle in Chinese or what. Cause im not sure whether its the same meaning or not. So after the "Multi-Racial Exchange Programme"(This prove the NUH is a Singapore hospital), I was asked to do a CT scan 2weeks later to see the ligaments,veins and nerves around my right elbow so as to decide whether to have an operation anot. Personally, I hope to have the operation so that in future, my hand will be stronger. NUH was a good hospital. I mean in terms of waiting time compared to KK hospital. Yea! Im so happy that I dont need to be casted after just 10days!! Maybe is because of Joey prayers! Thanks!! Now go bath no need to use plastic bag to cover and I can finally play DOTA!! After 4mths, my internet connection is finally back!! It will be connected this Sat!! Woo~Cheers~*.*"

Joint Dislocation
Thursday, October 18, 2007, 10/18/2007 03:20:00 PM
Joint DislocationWanted to know how long will my hand be casted so I went to Wikipedia to search for it and it reads this:Joint dislocation (Latin: luxatio) [1] occurs when bones in a joint become displaced or misaligned. It is often caused by a sudden impact to the joint. The ligaments always become damaged as a result of a dislocation.
Once a joint is dislocated, it may reduce (return to its proper position) on its own, or it may require physical manipulation. Such manipulation, if improperly attempted, can greatly increase the severity of the injury. However delay in treatment of a dislocation may affect blood supply, ligaments, bone and joint structures, sometimes resulting in permanent disability. As with most medical conditions, expert help should be sought as soon as possible. Once reduction is achieved, the joint may be held in place through a splint (for straight joints like fingers and toes) or a bandage (for complex joints like shoulders). Shoulder injuries can be surgically stabilized, for example using arthroscopic surgery. Dislocations often require immediate medical attention. After a dislocation caution should be exercised and the joint structures stabilized and muscles strengthened. This will help reduce the chances of repetition.
The shoulders, fingers, knees, and wrists are all common places for a dislocation to occur.
Having a dislocation increases the risk of a re-occurrence. Constant dislocations can be treated via surgery or strengthening the structures surrounding the dislocated area, normally through exercise.
Frequent, or spontaneous dislocations may also be symptomatic of a serious medical condition, such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
A subluxation is a partial dislocation.Wah. If delay in treatment will led to permanent disability, than I should be the priority to be treated in the hospital right?!? but I waited for 2hrs than kena treated leh! =( Although the waiting time for the treatment is fustrating, but I always tell myself that other patients need the doctors more.. You can see that some of their illness are more life-threatening. And I must really salute all the doctors. They need to work non-stop-one patients after another. And their working environment is moody will the smells of medication and often have to bring up the mood of the patients. Good Job doctors!! 3 Cheers for you!! Cheers Cheers CheersWoo. Exercise helps strengthen the muscle around the joint and reduce repetition. Will Exercise hard after I recover!!Have to be casted for 2-3 weeks. ='(Just got my timetable. Have both morning and afternoon session. Doesnt like the morning session cause it starts at 8am!! WTH. Need to wake up so early. But afternoon session is 12pm. So at least theres a balance. Shall study hard for this semester!Cheers~*.*"
Si Buay Suay
Monday, October 15, 2007, 10/15/2007 01:58:00 PM
Si Buay Suay!!Was counting how many stars that night and guess what- a bright shiny star falls from the sky. Cant believe that I actually saw a shooting star!! This is the 1st time that I sctually saw it. And I quickly make a wish. Hope that it will come true. Seeing a shooting star was suppose to be lucky but guess what. The next day, when I was ice skating and trying a new stunt, I fall and dislocated my elbow. Maybe the shooting star put all the bad luck in this accident so that next time I can have a smooth sailing life. See, I very good at consoling myself. So have to be casted for dunno how many weeks. What im worried now is that it will hamper my dreams of Adventure. But I will not let this small accident to kill away my dreams. Once I recover, I will train hard and run towards it!!
Never Say Die!!
If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream

Adventure Club Tribal Camp
Friday, October 12, 2007, 10/12/2007 08:20:00 PM
AC Tribal CampYesa!! I passed my SupPer!!The Adventure Camp was tiring but it was FUN, EXCITING and it surely was a fruitful experience. I learned a lot of things during this 4 days and the most important things that I learned in this camp is leadership. This is the 1st time I am assigned as an AFA with Denise as the FA and I have seen how she lead the team. Leadership is not a skill that you born to have. It is through experience and the guidance of another leader that will produce the leadership in you. Being a leader is not easy. You need to communicate with ur team well, inspire them, make them trust you but not be too dependant on you and also motivate them when their morale is down. With still the long journey in Adventure Club, I am sure I will be a different Ricky from what I used to be 5 years ago as it is a learning journey which teach me a lot of things which cannot be found in textbooks. "I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply all my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy"Never under-estimate your own strength. A sand makes a montain, A tree makes a forest. A water makes an ocean. You makes an army into warriors. cheers*.*"
