Priceless

How down on one's luck can a person get?

Very, very low, apparently. And losing your mobile phone was the nail in the coffin when you didn't have your contacts backed up in Google. Uh... actually having backup doesn't help when you have no money to buy a new phone.

So... in order to make a fortune and get out of his current situation, he decided to make an ultra premium thermoflask priced out of reach of the commoners, partly because his partners and he decided to manufacture it labor-expensive Japan instead of outsourcing to China.

Luckily for him, his half-brother was too hell bent on destroying him and caused too many of his own workers to defect, resulting in his own downfall.

Too unrealistic for my liking.

6/10.

Triple Three @ Mandarin Orchard

A team gathering at somewhere impressive since... 2008?!

We are going to buffet lunch at Triple Three @ Mandarin Orchard! Somewhere on my radar! Yay yay yay!

So nice to see everybody! But why do I have to sit at an unhappening table? These guys are too quiet! And a few faces that I don't know. Not sure which project they belong to :X

The buffet spread is really extensive. I would have enjoyed it more if I had a personal caretaker to help me cut meat, shell prawns, eat happening stuff to inspire me... luckily it's free.

Lots of team lunches going on. I even bumped into a university friend, B. AHHH! LONG TIME NO SEE!

When are we going to THE LINE? :D

Menya Musashi

Outing to Ion Orchard. Sister wanted to try Menya Musashi. I have eaten it before, but I can always try another flavor. The red soup was TOO HOT! No more!

My black soup!

Hmm... the soup is thick yes, but it's also very sticky. But also not the starchy kind of sticky. Can get a bit 腻 due to that.

My siblings ordered white soup. Not sure if they are different though.

The waiter very kindly passed me a bib when he saw me making a makeshift bib out of the serviette.

Ordered gyoza too. Stuffed to the max! Really old liao.

End of Chapter

A the private OT was supposed to be back since 9 Oct, but he never contacted me. I decided to break the silence. He replied that he was about to text me actually, like how people who were supposed to take the initiative do.

He came by this evening. He showed me some exercises that I could do with the therabands and some help. He also set the electrical stimulator and showed me where to stick the electrodes. Ouch ouch so painful! To think I thought I could play Diablo while doing it :( Totally disabled.

I paid W $2850, after deducting $150 rebate from the original sum of $3000.

So this concludes the hospitalization chapter. Wow like 1 year later.

Universal Studios Singapore

Finally got a chance to go! Brother has a pair of adult passes and I think $100 F&B vouchers too? By topping up 3 more tickets, we can have a family outing.

Samsung Galaxy S3

I have been waiting for this day for the longest time!

Private OT

Some Time In June
Got to do something about the leave-taking.

Long Weekend

Ok, so I brought the HKAFO along with me to my appointment with Dr L. Wore my sports shoes too. He has time to watch me wear and use it meh? So bulky lor.

China Mooncake

Delicious! Very fragrant. So satisfied that we didn't buy any branded mooncakes this year.

Back to Normal Fees

26/7
As informed last month, there was going to be a revised fee schedule for my therapy, which would unfortunately, result in an increase in my fees. Wham!

True Colors

28/6
Got Mr ST to drive me to my hair stylist after therapy. Thanks!

Sneaky Stanchart

7/8/12
Just when I was about to pay my hospital bill, Stanchart disrupted my plan by sending a threat letter dated 4/8/12.

You Are On Your Own... Confirmed

Not very happy to see the CPF logo on the envelope. With a sense of foreboding, I tore it open.

It's Like Kena Fly Plane

Made a date with Z at AMK Hub foodcourt after OT session. I went home for a toilet break first as well as to doll up a little.

I thought I was late, but when I reached, she said she would be late and told me to find a seat first. Thinking that she would be here soon, I told Father to go eat first while I wait myself.

Hi MP

Get off my ass and act NOW!

Carrying out the last resort - appeal through my MP. My parents were convinced it would be in vain. I agree, but it's still worth a try when $40k is at stake.

Birthday CakeS

It's the time of the year for cake sampling. Under my sister's recommendation, I ordered from Flor Patisserie. I opted to get slices of cakes so that I could try more flavors. Ordered enough to make up the cost of a whole cake. I also added a whole chiffon cake so that I could try asking for free candles :X

See You Soon! For Fun

Ortho clinic again today.

He asked about my bills. Pay lor, what to do.

Nothing much for me today, so it's a hi and bye session. Was it because I forgot to bring my new HKAFO? He would see me again soon, in 2 months' time, just to know somebody is taking care of me.

Huh? So actually no need to come back to frequently one? Whatever, I don't mind at all. If not for all these consultations, I will never get a weekday break.

Consultation Services (SC - RV) $85.00
X-ray
 Spine Scolisis -AP & Lateral $110.00

Subsidy -$77.00
Out of pocket $118.00

Birthday Outing

Getting my teeth checked for the first time in 1+yr. Paid my dentist friend, W, a visit at the clinic he works at for polishing for scaling. Was late :X due to dilly dallying on my part and traffic jam on PIE... on a Saturday!

When I reached, W was having lunch at the foodcourt. No wonder he said nevermind.

Finally Walking

Nearly 1 month after receiving my HKAFO, I finally started walking proper. What a workout! Hot! Abrasions on hands and elbows! Shall wear longer sleeves next time. And shirt should be long enough to tuck into pants. And need to tie my pants.

Making Full Use of the MC

Today's a lucky, albeit busy day! I managed to schedule my No Use Hospital rehab clinic, CT scan for ortho clinic and PT all on the same day!
