What a week.
Here is a very2 quick update from work.
Wednesday - track day.
Felt the corners so good. getting better & better. Knee sliders even kissed the track a few times. I was that low and that fast. But the devil got the better of me, and urges to try to overtake end me straight into the gravel and :(
I fell in the gravel. Rose is all scarred on the right :(
On the way back, vented my anger on the highway and reached a high of 287km/h. Wow.
The repairs were just for funtionality. Realigned my tyres and fork. Oh found out why I keep losing grip before the corners. My brake piston had jammed. Changed to new Brembo front brake pump that cost a BOMB. Together with new rear brake pads and the labour costs, it totalled $525. Thats not even repairs for the external damages :(
Oh anyway I am fine. Just momentarily. And as expected my dad laughed at my skill after finding out I skidded. -shrugs-
Wednesday is full of events.
The moving was 3/4 complete on wednesday night. Only the beds remain at bedok. The whole family was at tamp at night unpacking when it happened. I was in prone position on the floor resting when an unexpected weight overcame my body. My body just jammed. Sharp pain & sensations overcame the right side. Numbness crept in and I was wailing like a baby. I just couldnt move my arm.
What a way to start at a new house. The ambulance arrived to bring me to CGH. I hated that trip. I was thinking, not again, not warded again!! except if I was to be in Ward36 again, then can meet Nurse CT again. ahaha...Anyway I was jabbed with painkillers and the numbness just grew. The excruciating pain was no longer there but I was at a loss for words. Hours later and already into the wee hours of thurs morn, the doctor discharged me, only ensuring that I come back for re-check.
:(
What a wednesday.
Even in all the pain, the house moving continued on thursday. I even rode my Rose & Ezliana to the new Tamp carpark. Not much of a help anyway. Finally my family has settled in Tampines. Oh I quickly found new buddies. There was a group playing takraw at the court of my block, and wadya know I saw a secondary junior. Great! Buddies just need to get my arm out of my sling to do acrobats again. Ouch*
So today is friday. Have already taken the walk to Pasar Bulat. Its not really that far but in the pain I was sweating profusely on a cloudy morning. The past few days especially wednesday will be in my memories for quite some time.
And my blog has hit 2 months. Maybe thats the only cheer.
I have officially moved.
Come visit me with new house gifts for the open house ;)
