What a bump!

Found this little bump on me after knocking into a metal door last night.

I was quite surprised at how it looked like as compared to bumping onto the table edges.

I could feel that area - covered by the clot was slightly swollen.. Sigh. Time to do some rubbing.  

Just last Sunday I finally visited the doctor regarding my wrist for it has been hurting for quite some time.. At least a month I presumed. 

It happened just suddenly where I felt a slight pain on my wrist which I just dismissed it lightly. The pain gradually increased and just stayed at that. It caused quite a bit of discomfort especially when I was carrying my baby nephew or when I'm writing.

I was unable to bend my hand backwards to almost 90 degrees as my other hand neither can I bend it forward like an upside down 'U'. I cannot twist it left and right without feeling the strain on my wrist and every night I will feel the pain... Almost like having rheumatism every night. 

Until last Saturday or rather early morning where I woke in the middle of my sleep in pain. I tried rubbing / massaging my left arm only to make it worse. My hand felt numb and I couldn't even ball my hand into a fist. I felt very scared for the first time. Most likely was because I was sleeping on my left side the whole time.

I visited the doctor about my wrist and doctor said it was due to inflammation and muscle strain since it was only the wrist and the area around the bone (like a tiny bump - sorry I don't know what is that called) is affected. He asked me to reduce my typing and carrying of heavy objects if possible especially it is on my muscle hand otherwise the wrist will not heal. It is quite impossible since I deal with that on a daily basis but with extra care now (trying to).

So I have a muscle relaxant to be taken twice a day and another for inflammation to be taken once every 24hrs.

Can't wait for my wrist to heal!!

MSS

A quick update.

I spent my day off yesterday playing Murdered Soul Suspect, by Square Enix. The way I see it, it sounds like Murdered Sole Suspect because there is just one suspect and because it involves a ghost, so it became soul suspect. I had actually watched the gamplay on YouTube and saw the ending but his game fascinates me that it did not push me away from playing this game, instead I want to play it even more! I want to find out what are those collectables are, what is the story behind it, I want to play the game and experience it myself. This game pretty much reminded me of Heavy Rain, more of the feel. Maybe because Heavy Rain is also about a guy who has someone important and he was working hard to keep that someone. As usual, I am bad at putting it into words.. But both games actually drawn me to it.

I have always been a fan of Square Enix but on the Final Fantasy series and I had tried other RPGs they had published but I had always left them during the first quarter of the game and stopped playing totally. So when I see that MSS was developed by Square Enix, I was a little skeptical at first and that was before I see the walkthrough and boy was I blown by them!

A quick summary of the game. I  don't want to spoil too much of the story so I am keeping it short.

Basically it is about a murdered detective named Ronan who, in order to move on to join his wife, Julia into the light (think: Ghost Whisperer) has to find closure. And that is to find his killer which is also linked to the chain of murders of young girls. Along the way, you will find side quests with stories link to the artifacts you find and I tell you, is a must find, collect and see! The ending is not crappy and in fact, it was quite ... Different from what I had thought to be!

I love all the ghost stories and guess what? I started the game since 1pm and ended it around 1am with breaks in between of course. Like lunch, dinner and shower. So I am guessing that I spent about 10hours on the game itself. Complete with full trophies (played it on PS4) including the platinum one. Like Heavy Rain, completed the game and found all collectibles. :D

Curfew @ chalet

I tried checking out the meaning of "chalet" online and it is always associated with wooden house found in the mountains, for vacations or people on holiday uses. So why does the ones in downtown, east coast are called chalets?

And what is the purpose of chalets?

To me, it means having fun and parties in a house that is not yours while you paid money for it. For you to barbecue, gather, have fun and enjoy.

Do you associate it with hotels? I don't think so. Do you associate it as a peaceful and quiet place? I doubt so.

We booked one chalet at downtown.

I tell you, I have always avoided choosing a chalet as a venue for hosting something fun because they imposed a curfew.

One cannot make noise after 11.30pm, lights out at the barbecue pit after 1am.

So what fun is there? Will anyone stops having fun after 11pm? Usually the party, the games and the fun starts late right? Even if it bothers the other tenants, but it was supposed to be fun.

After 11.30pm, we were told by the security that the room so happened to be beside our pit was a long term tenant who had a heart problem and asked for our cooperation to lower our volume.

First thing, why would someone with a heart problem who needed their peaceful rest choose a chalet of all places? I don't get it. Shouldn't one be getting a hotel to get the rest needed? I mean, they have 24hours concierge, so should anything happen to them, they can get the required assistance almost immediately while the chalet office is closed, who can they look for?

Fine! If it is about the costs, then shouldn't the management place the person somewhere closer to the main gate in case of emergency, the person will get medical help faster? Mind you, our location was not very near the entrance. And of all places, the management placed the person beside the barbecue area with many pits! That doesn't make sense right?

Then while we were about 80% done, the lights went off! Seriously. It was like being in a military camp where we have curfews not to make noise and lights off as well.

All of my trips to such chalets were never once pleasant except for those private bungalows where it was very deep in and private chalets. No one came to bother us.

I think they should portray themselves as a day chalets where one can only have fun in the day and no activities at night. Barbecue pits can only be use until 10pm and no more barbecue thereon. No noise and everyone have to whisper. Games must be those quite games where no noise will be generated, such as the mime games, games on the mobile phones where no one will look up.

Eli was down with fever yesterday and it was heartbreaking to see him sick. His lips were blue, his body.. You could see the veins (?) not sure what was that called where one is so cold that his body is turning blue.. He was shivering as well. his hands and legs were so cold. :(

He was more energetic in the day but comes night, his fever went up to a high 39 degree celsius. Sent him to the a&e after feeding him some paracetamol. The nurse took his temperature and it went down to 37.9 deg.

His fever seemed to go up and down. Hope nothing serious. :/

June's happening

Yes, I realized that it had been quite sometime since I last wrote and post some updates here. There are so many things that I want to write but what's stopping me is not knowing when that person will read my blog again. I mean she's like a thorn in the flesh, but nothing like a rose. She's like a ghost from the past but will never stop haunting you. She's like a spring, sometimes pushing sometimes pulling.

I want to share my cute nephews photos, their developments but I guess I will do that later.

Anyway my birthday had passed and just two days before my birthday, I met up with a girl friend who is always too busy for me but I can't blame here because she's busy working.

We had a great meal at 8 Stanley Street. Super love the fries because it was fried to golden and is crispy! Yums! Pity I did not take any photos this once because I was too busy catching up with her and enjoying our time together. Until the lights just went off and I thought they are closing for noon and will open again for dinner crowd or maybe they are just conserving electricity.

Suddenly someone was singing a birthday sing and I thought they were singing it for my girlfriend (she knows the people there)... And all of them turned to me. I was so surprised and did not expect it to happen. I was really touched. She was, I think the first to give me such an unexpected surprise. Never fail, on both my birthdays. She made me felt special. :) 

Tsk, to think none of my boyfriends had ever do that for me. Lol. Oh, except for one but I always foiled his attempts. Hah!

Anyway wrong picture posted here but look at the strawberry flower! Cool ya?

Anyway, I went to find a friend to do my nails. First time doing gel nails and it was fascinating to see her doing it. She's such a perfectionist and I wish I had look her up earlier. Picked this color and my friends were saying that it's too sweet and they ain't used to seeing such color on my nails or even to see me doing manicure! I'm already so excited to be doing my next design. :)

Wish I could just change it every week but I got to let my nails rest and breathe some air. Nice mah????

The one and only time when it rained the whole day heavily last month or two months back.see the clouds were covering the 'boat'? That was like, really cooling and that 'shiok' feeling. And now, we are relying on air con everyday. The heat is becoming unbearable and it hasn't rained for weeks!

The last it rained was sometime mid June? It happened in the middle of the night when the wind was so strong that it was beating against my windows and curtains were moving little. I could hear the wind howling, the sound of the rain, it was quite scary and it kept me up for awhile.

Many were asking whether have I moved to my new house yet. The answer is no. I am still trying to unpack my room to the extend that I had became a little too lazy and stopped packing. Can I just blame it on my baby nephew, who is just too adorable to play with? I had my display cabinet fixed up and began to unpack the smaller figurines.... And I was glad that I have not unpack the bigger boxes yet because I realized that I don't have much space for them. I think I have to custom-make a glass box for them and display them separately on the wall shelf.

My two prized warriors. If only I can make something like the Sephiroth in Square Enix, Tokyo. If you've been there, you'll know what I meant. I don't need a bed, I can just lie there. I was so tempted to just stay there looking at him but I did not because I felt shy and don't want to embarrass myself by doing something silly.

More stuffs. Spartans are still in the reach box. I wonder whether will there be a legendary edition for Halo: Guardians for XBOX ONE. I will most likely buy it, I think the guardians outfit is quite cool. That got me really curious, on who are they? Where do they come from? How will it continue? How about Cortana? Will Doctor Halsey program another Cortana? I'm not sure what to expect from 343 for Halo this time. Hope I won't be disappointed as I was with Halo 4. Maybe because it didn't turn out the way I want, maybe because they want to try something different, I don't know. Perhaps, because when I read the Halo novels, the Master Chief that I'd envisioned was different. He's strong, he's cool and he's emotionless. Like they were trained to be a robot so that they will be more efficient in battles.

I'm really looking forward to the Halo television series and hope it will really blow me away like the game. Not sure whether will it be available in Singapore.. :(

Treasuring family time.

I felt that I was lucky to be able to experience living with family, staying on my own in an empty apartment as well as in a rented room. It was a totally different feeling comparing all three. Although slight advantages are the landlord is either my friend or my supervisor. So I don't really experience the feeling of staying with a complete stranger in a house.

I will be moving back to my new house this Saturday. It made me starting to feel.. A bit reluctant. As part of me likes this freedom and part of me misses being together with my family.

Staying away and seeing my mom, my sis and nephews made me appreciate the time with them. Letting us catch up, wanting to meet each other, arranging outings. I quite like that.

There's some distance but there's some longingness as well.

Funny, I was watching 2 Broke Girls, episode 22. Titled "And the New Lease on Life"

Although it was just a tv show but it really reflects well on life. Like my current life.

Caroline and Max, although had their ups and downs, even to fighting over stuffs, are not ready to give up living apart from each other. It is the being together that matters. No.. It's not a lesbian show by the way.

And it got me thinking, if you have fights with someone, perhaps at least once a month or even once every two weeks, does it make you want to leave that person to avoid future fights or would you rather have the fight and live with the person because you want to?

As in, sure there are fights but there are happy times as well. You can see the person (it can be really close buddies, partners, family) everyday even if you'll fight with them.

Not sure whether am I making any sense here.... It's just hard trying to bring through what I want to say in words.

I mean, sure there are fights but I'd still live with the person because I know I'm not ready to live without him. The companionship, being able to see the person daily, hugs, cuddles, watching shows, have dinners together are more than enough to allow me to overlook the fight part.

Sure I can adapt pretty fast and move on but do I want to move on without him? Am I ready to move on?

I guess these are questions I will ask myself.
