Again...

Yup, another tumble...Budu!
It was at Elie's Futsal Bday Party, I was in for all but two freaking minutes, touched the ball no but one of my favourite kids of all time accidentally steped and crunched my foot and I heard it go crack 1 way then another. Poor kid didn't even notice as he ran off after the ball. And stupid me shouldn't have told him so coz he felt bad, told him I would have tumbled anyway!

But, this time I went to the sing-sang the next day (2day) and got it "fixed".

Now, normally I would not be a fan of going to a sing-sang as I grew up with a sing-sang for neighbour. It was quite common to see "horrific" (in my mind) things there as he twisted people wrists, arms and legs back into place!

But in Dec 2005 I had a small tumble with major hurt which saw me head to Kuching Hospital for an x-ray. Four days later, Judith's mum was kind enough to force me to go see this sing-sang. Of course, I screamed my head off but while I walked in with crutches I walked out without them!

So, yes I went back to Jason the sing-sang in Damai. This time his son, Nelson worked on my foot while the kind people who brought me there waited outside. Needless to say I screamed again at one point and 1 of my friends was about to rush in to rescue me but 80 year old Jason came in instead (thank gawd).

His son tried his best but when I stood up my foot was worse than before I went in! But never fear, the old sing-sang with his Kim Jung Ill glasses sat down and worked on my foot. He just spent a total of 30 seconds on my ankle and viola when he asked me to stand up and it was HEAPS better!

A quick bandage of really hot brown paste and a bandage and sent me off my merry way! So, its okay la now...but perhaps no more futsal for me...perhaps...

One for September...

Actually heaps of stuff has been happening, good mostly, minor bad ones. But I realise I have been awfully terrrrible at keeping this current (but that's okay, whose been reading!). "Hari Raya" resolution is to keep this current! Haha.

The most awesome thing (not to be confused with awesome day) I did in September was an afternoon spent following Marc's "girlfriend" Juliana and her baby girl (big pic above).

This past two weeks was the first time Azman and his team saw this orang-utan with a baby which has yet to be named. That honour goes to the guys who first spotted the baby. Azman said he would name the kiddo "Haji" after me, to which I replied it would be cruel thing to do to the kid (as if, she would actually use the name herself!).

Anyhoo, Raya holiydays came around and Juliana and her baby are not being tracked this week so she will probally be gone by the time the guys return to the site.

By the way, that afternoon I fell down about 5 times but hey it was soft secondary forest ground.

I was also sleeping on the job....

Other (interesting) September happenings:
Freedom Film Fest in Kuching organised by Komas (and Elaine) was quite interesting as was Kuching!

Elaine doing her FFF impressionation...

Another cool thing about Sarawak was they know how to count...

Yup...September was also Malaysia's 45th year in existence and not 51st!

Riina visited KK twice in d past month and guess what she did heaps of whilst here....

Not only did she eat her way through KK so also made me eat through KK!!

Every meal we had ended with both of us lethargic and ready for snoozing...

Seems to happen everytime Riina visits by the looks of it...from Little Italy, to dim sum (then some), to The Med, to the kopi shop....

Riina, Riina, Riina...Good thing you only drop by a once every three years or so!

Ps-besides eating Riina also did a bit drinking... here is a shot of Riina "having a shot" of Smirnoff while watching the olympics...

Well I'm finally doing this blog thingie, gawd only knows how long it will last!

So what's up with me? I'm enjoying work and getting back into the groove of life la.

Watched the sunset 2day with Han's Solo, it was something we both needed. Of course Ms.Ham didn't turn up...(typical)!

Ps-Simon this is the type of sunset you missed...
