Ok I know I said I will update pictures but it has been almost 2 months and no updates from me. Anyway, I declare that I am too lazy to upload the photos here and document whatever happened on the trip, not that a lot of you may be interested to know but if you are keen in seeing the pictures, let me know and we will meet up. I will show them to you (please note that you will have to bring your own laptop :P)

 

Went for acupuncture yesterday evening as I could not really walk properly. My right foot has been hurting on and off for the past year, usually after a long period of walking or standing. It got so bad on Friday that I was limping every step I took. So went to try this acupuncturist at my neighbourhood here. It was a new experience as I had not done acupuncture before. Three needles was poked into "strategic" nerves found on my right foot and a heating element was placed above my foot to allow maximum effectiveness I guess. The needles was placed there for half an hour where I just lay there, seprated from the other two partitions with a curtain. I was in the centre partition and there were two other ladies in the other partitions. The lady on my right was doing this treatment where they burn a piece of paper in a glass bottle and stick it on your body. How did I know? Cos after some time I heard the sinseh pluck out the bottles from her body... "POK! POK! POK!" With every "pok" she was groaning in pain. Damn... it was a rather hilarious moment. Haha...

 

After the treatment I was told that the foot pain was caused by uneven usage of strength in both feet and was recommended to go back for another 3 treatments. When I paid outside, the cashier told me it cost $56 bucks. What the hell. 3 needles cost so much. I do not really think I am going back there for another follow-up treatment again. Did the acupuncture work? I do not really know. I will only find out in the long run if the pain keeps coming back.

 

SUNBURNT Again! Damn. Basketball session was real shiok, though it was hot as hell. Another busy week ahead, barely surviving, in terms of physical, mental and... whatever...
