After Exam Lunch

Yeah! Exam finally over. Though worried about the results but was really relieved that it's finally over. Now must focus on the dance on 29 November 2008.

After the exam, went for a 'celebration' lunch with the 'Piao' family proposed by Michelle even before the final paper. With the idea of taking a group photo from my HW102 project mates, I suggested that we should take photo together. Caren then suggest something that seemed so ancient to me which is to take neoprint together & Michelle even suggest to wear nicer. LOL!

We 'hopped' from Jurong Point to Jurong East but decided to go Lot One in case Jurong Entertainment still under renovation and had our lunch at Siam Kitchen.

After which, went up to the arcade (not to play) but to find neoprint station. While queueing, Michelle comment that our average age was bigger than those around ther arcade and I comment that my age alone could be double those playing. Yet I am there with my 3 friends queueing to take neoprint & 一起玩, 一起疯. 我都几岁了咯... But I enjoyed the afternoon off after the torture for the past few weeks.

Anyway, once I reach home, I started to pack my rooms. No time to lose as I must clear many unwanted things so that I can make space before 6 Dec 08 as my dad bought new multi-split air-con as ours been leaking gas and had been using for a decade or more. Tomorrow (later), can't packed as my senior be using her free time to teach and fine tune my dance steps for saturday.

'Murdered' by BS201

It'd been a while since I felt this bad after an exam paper. I remembered that the first semester was really bad. Not that the second semester was so much better but at least can feel that it was at least better than previous.

Today, had a paper. I remembered looking at the last year past year paper. Though not easy but still seemed do-able. But today's paper is a disaster. I keep skipping and skipping till I am at the last question (still do not know how to do) when it's just about 45 minutes since the start of a 2.5 hour paper. However, I stayed thoughout the 2.5 hours and managed to scribble somethings in my exam script for all the questions. But I know most will be wrong. Sighed... So demoralizing... Felt that I am being 'murdered' by the paper.

Missed my INUYASHA MOVIE 4 - FIRE ON THE MYSTIC ISLAND

AAAHHHH.....!!!!!!

I'm so frustrated with myself. I had been lost in the world of studying studying and more studying that I forgot that today okto is showing the inuyasha movie 4 - fire on the mystic island. Sob! Sob! SOB!!!

I had been chasing after this japanese anime 'inuyasha' for years after my polyfriend lend me her vcds then. Had watched all 167 eps and 3 movies out of 4. Just left this movie 4. Had been waiting for this movie 4 and today okto is screening it and I missed it. ARGH...!

I didn't have time to watch and I forget about it and so never record down so I could watch after all my papers. Damned. Up to Wednesday, I still remember but since the day before my 1st paper, I totally forget about this. I can study till I forget the time and didn't realized that it was 11pm before I called my senior to check if I could miss the training tomorrow to study.

I want my inuyasha movie 4... Sob Sob...

Anyway, I am glad I got very nice and understanding chief and senior from my dance group. They allow me to take 'leave' to study for my exam and even cheer me on! Thanks! but I'm still very upset...

Battle begins

The actual battle consisting of 6 papers will begin tomorrow and only end on the 27 November. Must really strive for this last lap then rest before the next battle begins.

Yesterday, my HW102 groupmates went to look for our tutor to review our assignment 3 while me (the 'leader') 'eat snake'. No lah. Didn't want to travel all the way to school and back just to review the paper which we can't do anything about the grading. I rather spend quality time to study for my exams. Furthermore, when got home, will be pretty tired to study. Anyway, my groupmate told me that we got an 'A-' for the assignment. So glad that our hard effort was paid off.

We got 'B+' for 1st assignment and I got 'B+' for the 2nd assignment (individual) and there is still an assignment 4 (individual). Hope I can really break the record for getting a 'B' for the overall final for an English-based modules. *Hoping*

Tireness

So much for the 'panic' (I hope). My hip did got better the day after and yesterday managed to get through the long training from 9 to almost 5. Well, towards the end, I could feel that the leg totally got not much strength left. Actually is both legs as I used more strength on my left leg for balancing, etc.

By the time, I reached home, I was dead tired both physically and mentally. Can't study at all and went to bed at almost 11. One of the earliest day I went to bed. Knocked off immediately and today, still woke up with tired and sore body due to the training yesterday. Had difficulties to 'pull' myself up. How I wished I could just sleep my day through but I can't. I still got to study for my exams.

Day after my leg seemed to go worse, had very itchy and sometimes runny nose. Yesterday, worst still, tummy keep rumbling in the morning. Luckily it got better during the day. So end of last week wasn't a good week for me. Hope it shall get better now. Can't afford to fall ill at this critical period.

And I hope I can break the record of staying this healthy and even better (though I had a few time of running nose this semester but was alright maximum of after a few days when I took medicine when it's slightly more serious).

Labral Tear

Saw the following while browsing around just now. Hope it is not this or nothing serious....


Labral tear

A dislocation or other injury of your hip can rip the cartilage of the labrum. And doctors have recognized that milder pivoting injuries — even those that go unrecognized at the time — can also cause labral tears.

The labrum is the thick cartilage that lines your hip socket. When the labrum is torn by injury or even by milder twisting movements, it can set the stage for further cartilage damage and osteoarthritis.

... ...

... ..., however, and confirming the diagnosis can be difficult. Standard x-ray and CT scans are not helpful because they do not reveal cartilage abnormalities, and a standard MRI does not have enough resolution to show a torn labrum. ... ...

... ...

Symptoms of labral tear
Deep, sharp pain in the groin or the front of the hip
Pain that worsens when you exercise or extend the hip fully
Limited range of motion
Locking or catching
Painful clicks and pops

Treating labral tear. Nonsurgical treatment of a labral tear includes pain relief medication, physical therapy, and temporary use of crutches until symptoms subside. The tear itself will not heal or disappear, but usually your pain and other symptoms will improve. ... ...

Right hip ligament acting up again.

For the past few weeks, I could feel my right hip is not as ok as when it is really ok. It would 'crack' when I suddenly bend my hip or somehow twisted it when I changed my sitting posture, etc. During dance training, I dare not put full force when I need to use my right leg so as not to worsen.

I am not sure what happen. Today, I could feel that it is gradually going beyond the still ok limit. It is getting very 'suan' and uncomfortable. Why is this always happenening when I do not have the time to bother about it? Exams are coming.

I remember the last time my hip was not so right was in March. Did I strained myself too much? It always come during the peak when I am the most busy (with work or school) and when I am training for some performances. It had laid quite latent during year 2001 to 2005 for that period I did not exercise much.

Had went to a couple of doctors since I first got the pain which is like almost a decade ago. OMG! I got this problem for so long. I never thought of that before. I guess I really should find a day to visit the clinic and go for a x-ray or something to find out the actual problem but when do I have the time? I remembered that the last chinese physician told me that I should get an x-ray. He said I injured my ligament and it will be very distinct on the x-ray esp when it hurt very much. So when I had the time to want to pay a visit to the clinic to check on my hip, it was very normal and thus, I see no point to go. Am I wrong?

Also, the performance is end of this month which is 2 days after my final paper. What should I do? I do not have the time to see the doctor now. I had actually thought of going to the recent clinic that my dad went to for his arm. Think the clinic is a western clinic and with combination of TCM or something like that. Somemore, it does get patients to do x-ray and look at the x-ray results. But the thing is it is very crowded and I do not have the leisure of time to wait for so long. Maybe I should just wait and see. Hopefully, my hip heal automatically by tomorrow or at least get better by then.
