Chinese got a saying : 活到老学到老
As a Manchester United Fan, I went to support Singapore Team during the Singapore vs Liverpool. 26 July 09, 1900 hours at the National Stadium.
I'm not able to sprint, run and even jump at this present moment. I will feel pain whenever there is impact on my heels.
Now I'm under going some physiotherapy and scans at AH. I need to attend all these treatment for my injury to recover. Some of these is quite painful.
Did some X-Ray on my lower back, hip & butt. It shows that my bones are fine. No cracks founds.
Pain level:Nil
They use electron static current to test my nerves. Mainly on all the major nerves & veins on my left leg. How it feels? Just get yourself electrocuted. After this, muscles. Uses needle to inject into the affected areas and test using some radio waves.
Pain level: **** (try getting electrocuted & poke by needles)
It is to scan on body parts that X-Ray & Nerve Conduction Test can't do. Soft bones, joints etc. When I was sent into this machine, looking at the size of the entrance, you should know how cramp it was for me to go in. I had to stay in there and to keep still for at least 30 mins in order for the scan to complete. When this machine scanned, it was damn loud and noisy. I was given earplugs and a headphone to listen to radio. I fell asleep during the scan.
Uses a machine to heat the effected muscles and ease the tension of that area. They therapist gives me a bell in case it overheats and burn my ass. Feels good after the session.
Pain level: ** (It's hot to the treatment but the after effect is shiok)
Uses this machine to stretch my upper and lower body to ease the backache with 2 pieces of body wrap. They set the pulling force around 30% of my body weight. The machine will pull my lower body and straighten my back. The therapy takes about 30 mins. Need to wear belt or else pants will drop.
Pain level: * (Hard to breathe when the machine pulls my body)
My whole family went to KL over the weekend to attend my cousin's wedding. I brought my camera intended to shoot the whole process. However due to some miscommunication between myself and the groom, I miss the "gate crashing". Nevertheless, I shot the tea ceremony and the dinner.
This post is specially dedicated to you who can't decide where to stay.
This email was sent to me, I was amazed by what Nature can do. I will like to share it with you.
The classical natural wonders are huge and hard to miss - vast canyons, giant mountains and the like. Many of the most fantastic natural phenomena, however, are also least easy to spot. Some are incredibly rare while others are located in hard-to-reach parts of the planet. From moving rocks to mammatus clouds and red tides to fire rainbows, here are seven of the most spectacular phenomenal wonders of the natural world.
1) Sailing Stones
The mysterious moving stones of the packed-mud desert of Death Valley have been a center of scientific controversy for decades. Rocks weighing up to hundreds of pounds have been known to move up to hundreds of yards at a time. Some scientists have proposed that a combination of strong winds and surface ice account for these movements. However, this theory does not explain evidence of different rocks starting side by side and moving at different rates and in disparate directions. Moreover, the physics calculations do not fully support this theory as wind speeds of hundreds of miles per hour would be needed to move some of the stones.
2) Columnar Basalt
When a thick lava flow cools it contracts vertically but cracks perpendicular to its directional flow with remarkable geometric regularity - in most cases forming a regular grid of remarkable hexagonal extrusions that almost appear to be made by man. One of the most famous such examples is the Giant's Causeway on the coast of Ireland (shown above) though the largest and most widely recognized would be Devil's Tower in Wyoming . Basalt also forms different but equally fascinating ways when eruptions are exposed to air or water.
3) Blue Holes
Blue holes are giant and sudden drops in underwater elevation that get their name from the dark and foreboding blue tone they exhibit when viewed from above in relationship to surrounding waters. They can be hundreds of feet deep and while divers are able to explore some of them they are largely devoid of oxygen that would support sea life due to poor water circulation - leaving them eerily empty. Some blue holes, however, contain ancient fossil remains that have been discovered, preserved in their depths.
4) Red Tides
Red tides are also known as algal blooms - sudden influxes of massive amounts of colored single-cell algae that can convert entire areas of an ocean or beach into a blood red color. While some of these can be relatively harmless, others can be harbingers of deadly toxins that cause the deaths of fish, birds and marine mammals. In some cases, even humans have been harmed by red tides though no human exposure are known to have been fatal. While they can be fatal, the constituent phytoplankton in ride tides are not harmful in small numbers.
5) Ice Circles
While many see these apparently perfect ice circles as worthy of conspiracy theorizing, scientists generally accept that they are formed by eddies in the water that spin a sizable piece of ice in a circular motion. As a result of this rotation, other pieces of ice and flotsam wear relatively evenly at the edges of the ice until it slowly forms into an essentially ideal circle. Ice circles have been seen with diameters of over 500 feet and can also at times be found in clusters and groups at different sizes as shown above.
6) Mammatus Clouds
True to their ominous appearance, mammatus clouds are often harbingers of a coming storm or other extreme weather system. Typically composed primarily of ice, they can extend for hundreds of miles in each direction and individual formations can remain visibly static for ten to fifteen minutes at a time. While they may appear foreboding they are merely the messengers - appearing around, before or even after severe weather.
7) Fire Rainbows
A circumhorizontal fire rainbow arc occurs at a rare confluence of right time and right place for the sun and certain clouds. Crystals within the clouds refract light into the various visible waves of the spectrum but only if they are arrayed correctly relative to the ground below.. Due to the rarity with which all of these events happen in conjunction with one another, there are relatively few remarkable photos of this phenomena.
