Continuing Rehab

Some People Died never got back to me regarding the rescheduling of my third session. Looks like the twice a week arrangement was here to stay.

I have also changed my Friday afternoon slot in anticipation of my return to work. I figured I will lugi my leave if I were to reach home at 4pm and people started badgering me to work. It has become Thursday mornings at an earthly 10am.

Today was my second round of intensive physiotherapy. My monthly appointment at No Use Hospital.

Forgot to bring my TLSO! They didn't let me walk :((

While waiting for payment, I thought I saw C, my PT from The Hope Killer. Was she here for some conference? Interview? Or already quit liao? Haha!

杨门女将之军令如山

CNY, time for movies!

Star-studded, but so disappointing.

Did they have to dumb down the men in the family to emphasize the women's bravery?

And kept shouting "保护太君" when that was only a sub-mission. Old woman come battlefield for what? Zzz.

The numerous dunno laughing or crying faces of Cecilia Cheung.

I know she was supposed to be happy in one second and crying the next, but it came out weird.

From the movie title, I inferred that there were plans to make this a franchise. Guess it's not gonna happen.

Do not watch... 3/10

Rehab Follow-up

It's Dr E again. Still hasn't gotten her Hollywood fashion tape. Updated her on my rehab plans and lamented about the rehab department was unable to accommodate me. She expressed surprise, but I wondered if doctors are really clueless??

Asked her for some Anarex for my brother. This brought me to the pharmacy, where I noticed that a secondary school friend was listed as on duty. Somebody whom I haven't seen since J1. I don't even remember seeing her in university. I am not the kind to actively seek somebody out. Maybe 15 years ago, but definitely not now. I guess I would say hi, if we happened to see each other. She wasn't at the counters, so low chance. So ended up we didn't get to see each other.

Can't Wake Early No More

Second time waking up at 6am. Think everybody boey tahan already. I decided to request for a later slot, cancelling this session for now.

天与地

The show that got canned by TVB is finally out! So long, that 2 of the leads are no longer with TVB. And it got banned in China halfway, causing me great difficulty in sourcing for it!

Nice show. Different from the usual feuding women plot. Cannibalism, hidden reference to the Tiananmen Incident and the darkness of politics? Wa! Small case for a movie, but uncommon for a HK serial.

8/10

Zookeeper

Zookeeper is supposed to be a comedy, but I didn't find having to seek animal advice to woo a girl funny. It was painful to watch. But I finished it anyway haha.

First Therapy SessionS

When was the last time I got up at 6am??

Money-Sinkhole

I received the confirmation letter from Some People Died.

Sotong Fingers

When I saw HSBC's emailer about the rewards for abalone promotion, I jumped at it. We still have leftover from previous years, but it's cool not to have to buy abalone for CNY!

Although on hindsight, I should have gotten the Singapore Mint CNY coins...

Yesterday, Father went to redeem the abalone, but he was told to top up $68. Huh? Weird? I told him not to redeem first. What's going on?

This afternoon, I called the bank up to check. The CSO said that I had sms the code for points + top-up. Ehh did I? -______- Huh how??

The CSO was offered to help me to check if they could still give me what I wanted. They reverted with good news a few days later. Thumbs up!

南極大陸

Finished the annual Takuya dorama.

Summary: A bunch of untrained misfits and canines representing their country on a dangerous expedition in times of economical hardship.

Hmm... I don't understand the rationale of undertaking an expedition to Antartica post-war. By how much could a *successful* mission boost the people's morale? And surely not everybody cared for it. Wouldn't the money be better spent rebuilding the nation? But they did benefited the ship-building industry though (which seemed to be the only industry that benefited).

There was a little boy in the show, 晴夫, who babysat his baby brother by piggybacking him everywhere he went. When the guys returned from the Antartica, his baby brother had not grown at all.

Or he could be a new baby brother. Hmm.

Don't like this show a lot. Too many silent stare scenes during a fight.

5/10.

Assessment

My appointment was at 11.30am. From the map, the place looked like it was in the middle of nowhere. Father said he knew how to guide the cabbie. I hope it's true.

Adjusting Back to Life

Exactly 2 weeks post-discharge.

Shopping From Bed

Must-do-something-about-my-hair-getting-ripped-out-in-the-shower-every-morning.

Interview

It's not what you are thinking!

There's No Such Thing As Free Musical

On the day before I could go home, I received a sms from someone I haven't heard from for 4mths. The HR has finally sent L a letter, asking her for the Lion King money. How slow was that! Just nice, I'm going home tomorrow. Promised to transfer then.

And I forgot -_- Only remembered on Saturday. And after I transferred, I forgot to inform L. Settled everything on Sunday. Brain rusty!

Home Sweet Home

I'm getting my life back!

Father came early in the morning to send my stuff home. Then, Brother came here with him to pick me up. I was glad that one of my favourite nurses oversaw my discharge. I returned the unopened bag of diapers, requesting that she made sure that I wasn't billed for it. Hope that she can be trusted...

Bye! I won't miss here!

Social Assistance @ The Hope Killer

The social worker was a sweet-looking young lady, E. Upon hearing that the income ceiling for financial assistance was $1200 per capita, I decided not to bother with it.

Staff @ The Hope Killer

Therapists
I had the fortune of having 2 friendly ladies, C and S to attend to me for my physiotherapy. We had a great time chatting during my breaks.

Neighbors @ The Hope Killer

No super gum neighbors who chit chat non-stop this time.

Food @ The Hope Killer

26 days of Breakfast
As usual, I ate only the breakfast out of the 3 provided meals. Breakfast here was more varied.
