pai ka rantings

hullo guys..
for those who've asked about my injuries, i figured it'd be more convenient to tell everyone here. Hope it's not spam to those who don't really wanna know..
But hey, if anything, maybe it can be a lesson for all, ya?

ok so fyi, my back and wrist injuries are permanent..

my back is suffering from sthg called a degenerative disc disease.
apparently its an almost-slip disc (that's how d doctor described it)
it's sthg that a number of ppl develop when they reach the age of 50 or so.
just that i have it now (-_-)
so..the lesson from this is: watch how u land. landing squarely on ur feet with ur knees locked, that's how i got my back messed up

my wrist is sthg that's not so clear to me. when d doctor explained it, i was zoned, worrying at the fact that my back is a permanent thing.
but apparently so is my wrist..its some tendon or ligament or sthg, but he said he's seen it before. and the only way it'd recover is if i dont strain it, and even then i have to wait for years before it'll recover.
pretty much means as long as i climb, it's not gonna recover. and even if i stop, it'll take a long time to..
and..the lesson from this: slopers are quite taxing on the wrist. get strong..dont force urself to do stupid moves when u know ure not there yet


so yeah. doctor says, no more heavy lifting. and i just gotta live with the pains and aches. in case anyone's thinking why the heck is kai still climbing.
like any other injured climbers..we're climbing at our own risk.

maybe its cos im graduating and feeling damn old, but i get worried seeing our team folks get injured here and there. while shaking it off is a show of strength, please try to avoid getting injured.

Bright Lights






Dropped by the gym this morning to tidy up the upstairs. Work has begun. The guy there now knows me as the "storeroom keeper". How cool. Please don't go into the gym if you can help it unless you like haze. The PSI inside is 10000000. The workers you see are immune. They aren;t fazed even when a giant chalkbag's worth of yuck dust poured down onto their head when they took out the lights. We are eternally grateful.


So. To new lights, a brighter gym and a brighter erm, future.

Let's go Sungei Buloh together!

I signed up for this but nobody's going with me:( COme come join me!

Message:

Never been to Sungei Buloh? NUS Life Sciences Society (LSS) with the support from Life Sciences Undergraduate Program Committee (LS-UPC) is organizing a field trip to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve on 20th March 2010 (Saturday). All NUS students are welcomed to participate. Typical mangrove inhabitants such as tree-climbing crabs, mudskippers, monitor lizards and creepy-crawlies can be easily seen spotted in Sungei Buloh. Who knows, you might even spot one of the crocodiles that live in the park! Besides, Sungei Buloh is also well known by bird-watching enthusiasts. The richness of the mudflats to feed on has attracted migratory shorebirds such as plovers and sandpipers to the mangrove.

Come and join us for a 2 hour guided tour to get insight into the mangrove ecosystem and the various adaptations plants and animals have developed to eke out a living in this rather harsh environment! Each participant will be charged a fee of SGD 8 for a 2 way bus, admission fee and tour guides. Participants are also required to gather at the slope outside LT32 at 8.30 am sharp on the day! And, we will probably back in NUS at 12.30pm.

There are only 80pax available! First come first serve! Be fast to register by emailing Loh Peiye (Ms) at lss.sungeibuloh@gmail.com by 14th March 2010 (Sunday). Please state the following particulars in the email: name, matriculation number, email address and contact number.

Novice category

*breathe in breathe outt relaxxxx*, you think to yourself during isolation, just around the corner, the place you're suppose to be at in a few minutes awaits patiently for the rather imapatient you.

stretching your arms and fingers, you recollect yourself as you visualise what will happen soon. the whole procedures- some of the technics you've learnt, some of the stupid mistakes you always make.

you look around to see your peers with determined faces, some sweaty and others nervous. this is the first time for many for you all. for the past few weeks, you have been training so hard for this test of strength and intellence, the mere flashbacks brings the familier sweat to your palms.

as the countdown starts you quickly enter and focused on reading the problem in front of you. " shucks.. am i able to do this?", you mumbled to urself as ur heart skipped a beat. sneakily, out of the corner of your eye, you see a guy effortlessly conquer the 3rd one. with a deep breathe, you start furiously combing through your brain for the possible routes to the end. having decided on one, you start right away

within minutes you are pumpified and depressed. you so badly wanted to flash them but to no avail.. as the annoucement for the last min comes, you can only sigh and restrain from whackin yourself ( or daniel ).

you walk out from the venue and cursed: damn that blardy marco econs paper.
