It's June. Wonderful June. I was looking forward to June and had big plans for it. Joyous June
My last paper ended on 21 May, the final obstacle to getting my long awaited degree. Finally, I did not have to rush assignments, and cram tons of information just to regurgitate in a single day. Yay!
I was planning to push my fitness to the next level, catch up on my long distance running and football. No more staying at home and furiously typing out essays in front of my laptop.
This means I can finally enjoy myself when I am on official duties overseas. Sightseeing, clubbing, shopping, eating and drinking! No longer would I coop myself in the hotel room.
My roster looks great, NYC, San Fran, Christchurch...Magnificent locations. Finally, the rostering deity is on my side!
However, all my plans are shattered in an instant. There is a Chinese proverb, '人算不如天算' , loosely meaning, You can plan all you want, but Life comes and kicks you in the nuts.
Let me put it into perspective, by using a timeline.
21 May 2012
6.30pm - I happily stood up from my desk in the examination hall and walk to the door to pick up my bag. I had just completed my last exam, despite catching a cold. I am so happy that it's over.
8.30pm - After having dinner with my sweetie, Laura, we proceeded to Nicholas' place for wine tasting. He had politely asked me to help him choose the wines for his wedding later in June. We had a fun time, chatting and sipping wine. Nic's mom is very chatty and getting along well with Laura. Too well it seems. I am glad both her sons are married.
11.00pm - I send Laura home, as I have a flight early morning the next day.
22 May 2012
7.30 am to 12.30 pm - Easy and short flight to Jakarta, and I am working business class. Great, relax a bit.
1.00 pm to 3.00pm - Chat a bit over Watsapp, before showering. Ordered room service, the nasi goreng tastes great. Hope I can wake up for gym later...zzzz
23 May 2012
1.00 am - Woke up in shock. 1 am?!! I slept so soundly, just an hour to checkout. So much for gym. Got up from bed and felt a slight pain in my lower back. Usually I get sore back after I wake up from sleep. Thought nothing of it and put on my Phiten necklace, which usually helps me alleviate the pain.
6.00 to 8.00 am - The pain got worse but I managed to go thru the flight. Maybe it's time to go for some massage. Told Laura about it and she recommended a traditional chinese physician in Ang Mo Kio.
I was limping already....scary...
24 May 2012
8.00 am to 12.00 pm - Woke up early, and the pain is still there. Could hardly get out of bed. My right leg hurts so much, even though I have not injured this part of my body before.
Drove around for a while before we found the TCM physician. He looks so frail but told me he's going to do accupuncture and some massage on me. Are you serious?
In the end his assistance took over, and recommended 拔罐 on me, 'watever!' I thought, as long as the pain goes away.
'No more football and running for you!' The assistant said. No way, I thought.
Felt some relief but I am still in pain and limping.
25 May 2012
8.00am - I don't know why I keep waking up so early these days. The moment I try to go toilet, I knew something was wrong. I couldn't stand up straight and I almost crawled to the bathroom. The pain that I felt yesterday was doubled! F**k the TCM...
11.00 am to 12.00pm - Picked up Granny from her dialysis and they could tell there was something wrong with me. I told them about what happened and that I am going to a doctor later.
Dr Wong saw me and told me that I either have slipped disc, or just a normal backache. He recommended resting for three days and put me on painkillers.
Yay, no Chennai turnaround! But I rather be healthy and do the flight...these turn of events are scaring me now....
26 May 2012
Fortunately I could still drive, but everytime I tried to walk properly, I feel a sharp stabbing pain in my hips, thighs and legs. As much as I want to play football, the best I could do was to play it on my Playstation.
Trying to give away my NYC flight and asking for cash...but I really wanted to do the flight. Furthermore, Ozgur and my Turkish friends were waiting for me in Frankfurt...
27 May 2012
Told Laura that I was still in pain but I really wanted to do the flight. I will try to manage the pain somehow.
Tomorrow I will go back to Dr Wong for the review and ask him to schedule me an MRI after my flight next week.
Begin to pack my back and iron my uniform...Texted Ozgur that I will brave the pain to go Frankfurt.
28 May 2012
'I don't think you can operate the flight.' Dr Wong said
Nooooooo!!!!! I can't believe it. He gave me three more days of MC and disrupted my NYC.. Not only will I miss out on meeting the guys in Frankfurt, but I will not be able to go to my favourite city in the world, New York!! Plus, there goes my allowance. Triple whammy!
Scheduled to see a specialist a few days later.
___________________________________________________________________
There you go, you can't outplan Life....
Not only that. I am facing the possibility of one, not being able to play football again, two, not being able to fly again...
I am getting into a delirium....
For those who know me really well, you should know how passionate and enthusiatic I am about football.
I eat, sleep and dream it. I have rejected sex for it..(several times)
I just can't believe it. It's like telling a pilot that he can't fly no more, or a F1 racer that he cannot race anymore.
I think my soul just died a little. Why me? Why now? Why this? I get injuries often from football but I always recover. Now I am being sidelined by an injury that is not even sports related.
For the longest time I have been trying to get people to attend our weekly kickabouts, and was totally pissed with those who are no-shows...I have now become one of the long-term absentees..
My right foot which I depended on for my wicked crosses and tough tackles, is now numb. My right limb barely able to function properly, let alone execute a sliding tackle.
Trim off the lion's mane, and all you have is a big pussy...
'Devastated' is the word that would aptly describe my feelings.
Furthermore, because of my physical condition, I may get grounded for months if I am found to have slipped disc. This means measly pay and no allowance. Yes I may have intentions to quit and take a pay cut, but my medical bills would be chalking up if I leave the company now.
This leaves me in an undesirable deadlock. I am so not in control now.
My nuts are really sore now, so please stop kicking it, Life!

Visit my website - Okc Roofers
I am new to building sites and I was wondering if having your website
title relevant to your articles and other content really that important?
I notice your title, "Blogger: Critical Piece of Shit "
does appear to be spot on with what your blog is about but, I prefer to keep my title less content descriptive and based more around site branding.
Would you think this is a good idea or bad idea?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
