i've been diagnosed with some ailments i wish i needn't have. gout. slight anemia. eczema on my right arm but i think it's clearing up pretty alright.
need to make some changes to my diet but i'm just tired to think about it. no more sardines, mackerel, soya, tofu, tomatoes..argh!! these are food i love! =(
need a front light but i'm procrastinating about running down to rodalink to get it.
latest update, i have gotten new front light. s-sun bidded goodbye after an attempt to revive it by billy. the battery leaked and killed it. sigh. the light served me really well..cheap, bright..just that the outer cover kinda corroded a little causing a sticky irremovable coating that made the light a little unpleasant to hold.
anyway, as i was dilly-dallying on whether should i run to jln kechil to get the lights, some strange notion just kicked me on my butt. the thought kind of went,"u sit here some more, u are not going to go anywhere at the end of the hour." that made me jump off my chair and run out of the office towards bt timah road. took me slightly over 40mins to get there and another 40mins to get back. the overhead 1pm sun was no joke. the heat on the return run was more forgiving.. the clouds gave poor tricia a little shade from the brutal sun.
slacked big time since saturday. an enigmatic fatigue overcame me as i spent the weekend resting from the usual bike and run. the initially-thought-of-as sprain didn't seem to go off, as i pushed through 2 hours of badminton nonetheless. spent the latter half of sat travelling to katong to get my new cycling shoes, as my sidi pair goes into the condemn list. sunday morning was a sleep in.. and then it was out to find a doctor to treat my "sprain". fortunately, from justin's contact, i got to know a doc at jurong east and i headed there swiftly. after over an hour of treatment, which consisted of passing through of electricity via 4 needles stuck onto my ankle and also tapping (pain =S), i could twist n turn my ankle with no pain after which. however, the pain returned the next day during my morning 7km run. sigh.
subsequently, i read up more on my gout condition. what i can do about it..like changing diet..losing weight..drinking more water.. avoiding high purine food..etc. somehow knowing i've got gout didn't come totally a shock as i've got a history of high uric acid since 2004 and i've been warned of the possibility of contracting gout..however i didn't take it too much to heart and continued to intake alot of soya (i don't like milk..so i'm often drinking soya)..and tofu..and also sardines. maybe it's my body giving me a red light that i'm really too off balance in my way of diet. seriously would have to give my diet some thought and make sure i recover well from gout.
tomorrow i'll be bringing my dad down to the same chinese doctor for treatment of his heel. before that it'll be napfa test. (read: CHAM lor...) then after doc's i'll be running down to bbdc for driving lessons.. run to pool and finish the night off with lifesaving.
thursday i'll start my first riding practical. woohoo..pink vespaaaaa!..here i come! found out from weiliang that a new vespa would cost around 12k..gulps. nvm bout the cost for now, i'll just concentrate on getting my license first.
friday night will be departing for powerman. i'll be taking anti-inflam to keep going on. tricia will pull through this. =)
