Here's My Story

During the one-month period  in between sessions, pain was triggered by Palm pressed down on exercise mat to open the chest. Slicing chicken/pork vertically. Horizontal movement when scooping fish meat off its bone. The pain was only slight. I believed that it was still an improvement. Lee, the therapist, tested the thumb/wrist and then the arm. He postulated that the issue might be elsewhere e.g. the elbow. He then proceeded to massage the hand and a bit of the shoulder, while regularly asking feedback from me (whether it was painful or not). Finally, he asked me to treat a 1kg dumbbell as a knife and to do the slicing motion. It still elicited pain but very slight. Then he adjusted my top right back and voila! The test didn't elicit any pain @@ As for the exercise regime, still do everything but adjsut as follows: (1) Do the thumbs-up exercise (nicknamed Y shape thumbs-up) on exercise mat by lying face-down and lifting up the body slightly. x30 (2) Do (1) but with T shape i.e. h...

A nearby clinic underwent renovation. After reopening, I noted that its name remains the same with the same two doctors listed on their window panel. Recently, I consulted the doctor there but she was neither the doctor listed. I also noticed that the organisatio chart inside the clinic listed this doctor as the sole doctor. Curious, I asked the staff at the dispensary, "So Dr L is no longer here, huh?" They responded, "We also don't know." Huh?? 

As blogged earlier this year , I did my health screening before my annual trip to Australia mid-Dec. WBC dropped again, this time from 3.4 to 3. Hope it doesn't drop below 3, which would be my cue to consult the haematologist again. Neutrophl count dropped from 2.1 to 1.7 but still above 1.5. Lymphocyte count dropped from 1.0 to 0.9 (ref 1.5-4.5) while  monocyte count increased from 0.2 to 0.3 (ref 0.4-1.1), which are still similar to previous two years' results. Interestingly, I was a little unwell, which should have had increased WBC. The cholesteroal results as compared to 4 months ago :                                   Jul 25                  Nov 25                  Ref Total cholesterol            6.1               ...

  Saw this at SS2. I believed it was at the XLL Malahotpot restaurant. Did patrons frequently sing in this restaurant in the past? If so, why did they choose this restaurant?

Unexpectedly, about three months after the first repair , my laptop had issue again. This time it was worse: I was playing Minion Masters when everything stopped working except for the power indicator. Thinking that it was an auto-shutdown, I pressed the power button to start up the laptop but unexpectedly even the power indicator light went off i.e. no lights whatsoever from the laptop. A quick web search led us (Ban drove) to Zarif Refurbished Laptop (we were in Butterworth), which had many Google reviews with average rating of 5. Unfortunately, the technician was on a 4-day company trip. Next we went to Northern Lowyat, after Ban called (I drove because Ban was feeling tired) to confirm that their technician was available. It was the shop where my sister's family had gotten their laptop repaired previously but her feedback was "No choice" when I asked her whether they were good or not 😅 Took another two days before they informed me that the issue was faulty motherboar...
