Injustice To The Left Knee

Oh, so sorry poor left knee of mine. I know you are just as injured as the right but somehow or rather, when the Sinseh ask which is in a worser condition (he/she says not a good idea to work on both at one go), I always mention the right cos it just occurred to me that since the right knee was initially injured, it only make sense I have it done first.

But then again, whenever I am at the clinic, both of you just couldn't make up your minds which to make me feel worse so that I can decide on which of you gets treatment first. Duh......

Anyway, was quite surprised to hear something from the sinseh today. DON'T JOG IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH SLEEP. Hey, this is really something I have never heard of in my life! And come on, when did we ever have enough sleep back in our army days? Didn't we go on with all those long distance runs? But well, she's after all the sinseh who is supposed to know the all-abouts and I am letting her (family) make good my knees. So ya, gotta trust her. Then again, I think age and lack of training adds on to that and these could very well be the culprits of my ordeal.

The sinseh also told me that the knee, spine and the neck are three places where we have to be very careful of, that once injured, gotta work on them soonest possible.

Erm, back to my dear left knee. Don't worry, cos I'm keeping check on ya. Like what the sinseh mentioned, the moment we have your partner revived, we will give you your due attention. So till then, please be nice to me ya?

The Power of Being ONE

Forgot about this in my first post.

Went Kallang to look at peeps train yesterday morning. I know nuts on the dynamics of DB-ing, but I strongly believe the essence of it is same stroke at the exact same angle of the paddle at the synchronised pace. Now, this calls for camaraderie and utmost selflessness, giving ones full commitment to the team even to the extent of giving over-and-on-top of ones capacity.

A good team-sports person is a true team player, a true comrade, one who is dependable to give his/her utmost best in fulfilling the goal of the team. Extending this to the many aspects of life, this person would very well be a good man/woman and this is really what we need in our societies.

Sigh. Time and again, this is something I find so lacking in so many instances in so many groups/organisations. People can go around preaching the importance and need of camaraderie, of cohesiveness, but are merely talks.

I yearn to find at least a group in whatever nature, which I can practise camaraderie, witness camaraderie and harvest the joy it brings.

One day, when everyone realise the good of being ONE, we will not be too far from Utopia - I think.

First Thoughts

Went to visit some "friends" yesterday morning. Yup, "friends" cos they have not known me but I would like very much that they do. During the visit, I saw families doing what everyone is supposed to do in this period of the year, not forgetting having breakfast together with some catching-ups. That's when this thought crept into my mind: "Has it got to be such occasion other than CNY, weddings, funeral, only will family members gather and find out how each and everyone is doing"?

Well, this thought is not without guilt, for I too do not meet often my relatives and friends. Thanks to these "friends" of mine, I have, since their leaving, woken up quite a bit. Really, like what the brother of one mentioned: "Time and tide waits for no one". You just have to put in that extra effort, no matter what.

Sent a birthday greeting to another "friend" who is a real friend and buddy of these "friends" of mine. It's his big 21 this year. Wish him well.

It is really getting late now and I guess this should be about all for my first posting. The next thing I need would be commitment and content to keep going.
