A little update....

It has been awhile since I wrote on this blog of mine. Life has been really busy with so many things happening around me. Despite those busy and procrastination times, I have decided to take some time off to blog about recent additions to the list of gadgets that I owned. Hehe.

I have to admit that I am a gadget freak. It is always tempting to invest in better high tech gadget to make my life easier and better. So yeah, I bought a new 1GB RAM for my desktop pc, so that I can do things faster. It was 512MB RAM all these while, pathetically survived. Hehe. But, it has yet to arrive, guess there were some problems with the courier. It should arrive in the next two days.

Another gadget that I bought was the Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 7000. I saw the Microsoft's 30% cash back offer and immediately I wanted to get a new wireless desktop set. I have started using it. No regrets!! Some more with the cash back, even more worth it. Look below for the pictures of my new "baby". Haha.

Apart from these gadgets, I also invested in a new pair of shoes, Adidas Megabounce. The shoes has cushioning effect with the specially designed soles that reduces the impact of the weight. It pretty much dampens any additional movements that might cause strains in the foot or knee. This is perfect for the current state of my knee. Hehe. The moment I put it on at the shop, I knew I was going to buy it. It was too good to deny it. Hehe. Below is the pic of the shoes.

Another thing. A few days ago, I received a letter from ACC. Much to delight, they have decided to cover all the cost of my knee operation. Hehe. People have been asking me if I was afraid of the operation. To be honest, I have not put much thoughts into it. Perhaps when the time comes, I might freak out. Perhaps not, because it is only a 30 minutes operation, nothing major. Hehe. I only fear the after effect of the operation, especially for the 6 weeks of rehabilitation, where I will have reduced mobility... : (

Okay, gotta go back to work now. All the best in these 2 weeks! Hang on there! Rewarding holidays will follow up after that....

Played my heart out....

For the first time this year, I was involved in sports from 8 am till 4.30pm, from windmill courts, to IH court and finally the rec centre. Prior to this day, I was so adamant of playing sports for the whole day, forgetting whatever is on my mind and the workload that I have at the moment.

Gosh, I must say that I enjoyed today. I played all out even to the expense of annoying people with my "contact" style of playing in a non-contact sport, netball. I am sorry. I think I should never play defense again. I can't keep my hands to myself. I always want to block and shovel just to prevent opponents from getting the ball or scoring. To sum it all up, I am aggressive at girl's point of view. Guessed I learned all these from soccer, Men's game.

During the netball game, it was raining and the court was slippery. To my shame, I did a leap towards the hoop and guess what? I fell "graciously". Man, I just couldnt believe that I fell that way. Sia soi only, some more i was so confident in making that big leap. Haih. The game was good and the Bersatu team beat us. They are pretty good.

Later on, we moved to IH to play futsal. Rain stopped for quite awhile, and we got to play a bit of training match. The girls are improving, much to my delight. I am sure they will get even better. Rain then came and we had to stop. Terrible weather today, nothing but rain.

Moving on from there, we went to the rec centre. The guys were playing handball with a size 2 ball. That ball was so small. Poor the goal keeps for the day. Wei Loong had two shots at his abdomens. Hehe, toughen him up! I did not play because I wanted to reserve my energy for basketball. Also, from the netball game, I thought I had better avoid repetition as girls were playing handball too. Hehe, good move I think.

Then, the best moment came. Basketball!!! I don't know why I have passion for basketball although I cant play it that well. I wished I had continued playing since primary school, perhaps there would have been a different me. Hehe. But I enjoyed playing with the guys till 4.30pm!!! Improved a little bit. :)

Due to all the sports, it is only normal for me to have a long nap to recover. Hehe. It can be considered a sleep actually. Long hours, haha. Now, I am going to start doing my uni work. I hope the weather will be good tomorrow. And, congrats to all new graduates. All the best in your future!

We all need to learn to say, "Whatever will be, will be!"

Recently, I listened to a song by Vanessa Hudgens by the title of "Whatever will be". I find the lyrics very interesting. Indeed, we need to learn how to say "whatever will be, will". There is no point looking back at something that has long gone from the mind or even things that are causing some much thoughts and unhappiness. Check out the lyrics;

Sometimes I feel like I'm a bird with broken wings
At times I dread my now and envy where I've been
But that's when quiet wisdom takes control
At least I've got a story no one's told

[Chorus]
I finally learned to say
Whatever will be will be
I've learned to take
The good, the bad and breathe
'Cause although we like
To know what life's got planned
No one knows if shooting stars will land

These days it feels naive to put your faith in hope
To imitate a child, fall backwards on the snow
'Cause that's when fears will usually lead you blind
But now I try to under-analyse

[Chorus]

Is the rope I walk wearing thin?
Is the life I love caving in?
Is the weight on your mind
A heavy black bird caged inside?

Say
Whatever will be will be
Take
The good, the bad
Just breathe

'Cause although we like
To know what life's got planned
No one knows if shooting stars will land

Whatever will be will be
I learned to take
The good, the bad and breathe
'Cause although we like
To know what life's got planned
Thing like that are never in your hands
No one knows if shooting stars will land

It is out

Yes, the verdict is out. I need to undergo the knee surgery. But, the good news is that the surgeon assured me that it was not a serious injury, and could be easily fixed. However, it does mean i lose partially of my meniscus.

The surgery is scheduled to be on the 11th of July, during the semester break. It will take 6 weeks for full recovery. Hopefully it will be faster then, hehehe.

As for now, I have started playing netball. It feels just so good. I was also told that I could play sports but be more cautious although there is slight chance to further aggravate the injury. Hehe. I am so looking forward for volleyball this Saturday!! Just have a feeling it is in my blood....one day I might say volleyball for life ...and no longer soccer for life...hahaha!!! Will see how things go...

Till then, take care everyone!
