My long weekend – Part 2

After much procrastination, I have decided to quickly finish up with my post on last week.

Monday – MC
Stayed at home the entire day because I’m immobile. The pain was quite bad because I did not follow my doctor’s instructions. During the consultation on Sunday, my doctor mentioned that I should apply RICE on my leg. R = rest, I = ice, C = compression and E = elevate. However, the as usual lazy and rebellous me only did the 1 out of 4. I did rest my leg because of my lazy nature, spent most of my time either at my desk or on my bed. The day was quite meaningless and did nothing much.

Tuesday – TEACHERS’ DAY!!
My leg was better, but not much. As it’s teachers’ day, I promised dearie that I will accompany her. However, because of my leg, I can only limp around. I am sure dearie can’t bear to see me limp around the whole day, so we decided to watch 2 movie at one go. We met around 1pm to buy the tickets for our first show – Bruno. My opinion on that show -> it’s a bloody disgusting show with stupid crude jokes that I don’t really found it funny. But my gf, unlike most ger, found it funny…. werid… Second show was much better – UP. It’s quite packed when we got in the cinema and I am quite proud of myself to book the tickets the day before because I can foresee that since it’s a school holiday, most kids will watch these type of show. It’s a nice and touching show with lots of meaningful message. Nice story line too!! After the show, we went to shop around abit, and bought a bed tray!! Dearie, I want to tell you that it’s very useful, because I am using it on my bed to type this post right now!! I’m glad to have a good start this month…

My long weekend – Part 1

Today is the last day of my long weekend, will have to report to work (army) tomorrow. =(

Saturday – BB Pipe Bands Cohesion Day & Soccer
As I had spent the night before having meeting, I have have to stay at home in the morning to complete my lesson plan for the cohesion day band practice later in the day. While I was doing my lesson plan, I suddenly have negative thoughts… is all this planning worth my time?? Will they appreciate it, or think that it’s a waste of time. So instead of looking forward to the Cohesion Day, I have decided to change my highlight of the day to SOCCER AFTER PARADE. The cohesion day went smoothly, however without any climax. It seems that everybody is just going through the motion, with not much learning attitude, thinking that they have nothing much to learn. There’s nothing much that I can do about it anyway.

Back at Barker, there’s seems to be something serious going on. However, I have to address my issue with the band about their restless attitude during the cohesion day. After my lecture to the band, Ian Hwee told me that there’s some NCO Council Emergeny Summit going on. In order to satisfy my curiosity, I went to take a look. Apparently, the issue was on some disorganised management and some of them have some issues with one another. Well, it always happens…. from recruits to NCO Council.. and even to officers’ council.. This is because everybody makes mistakes. So always look on the bright side; take it easy with others’ mistakes and help them, so that you will also be treated similarly next time when you make mistakes.

After parade, waited for Dearie to come and play soccer with us. It’s a first time for her to play with us, and of course I have to give special instructions to them to give her special treatment.. haha.. Everything went well till I trip over the ball while dribbing. Sprain my ankle quite badly that I have to lie there for probably 5 to 10 mins. With this injury, there goes all my after parade entertainment like meeting up with MC. sad =( Later, I managed to stand up and limped my way to waffletown for dinner, and then limp my way home after that.

Sunday – Report Sick
I woke up in the morning feeling a bad sore at my ankle. It was swollen and very painful when I tried to walk. After the whole morning of struggling, I finally decided to report sick at A&E. As I got out of the taxi, I limped to the registration counter and asked for a wheelchair. It’s quite fun to move around on a wheelchair, but I almost got motion sickness as the nurses pushed my wheelchair in quite a fast speed. I was quite shock that the doctor only gave me 2 days MC (Sunday & Monday), because I was really in agony during that time and expect myself to be able to walk only after 1 week. With much disappointment, I called the ops room to inform, and our dear RSM PA say I chao keng!!! haha.. sometimes it’s quite difficult to keng sprained ankle right?? Got home after that to rest… nothing much happened….

To Be Continued…………….
