Sixteenth session for thumb/wrist

-
After about 2.5 half months, I decided to consult Lee again because although there was further improvement, the pain didn't go away. In fact, I felt pain when I helped to lift mattress, with palm placed underneath it, and when I placed palm on the exercise mat, behind me, hand facing behind and lifted the wrist slightly. Curiously, when I pulled thumb back, the pain at the base of the thumb was lesser than previously but if I held it for 10 counts, the wrist pain vanished. Lee said that it was a distraction 😅 He asked me to try a few things and one of them produced a puzzling result: one of the two ways I reproduced the wrist pain was to extend my hand forward, palm faced towards me and used the other hand to gently push the back of the palm towards me. However, as requested by Lee, I tried this with hand extended sideway, the pain was much less. He surmised that the posture of the shoulder/back was incorrect. So unlike previous sessions, time was spent on massaging the muscles ar...

Without passport

-
Recently, Ban and I went on a short trip to Singapore i.e. two nights. We flew Firefly from Subang Airport to Seletar Airport. The former is much closer to our home than KLIA T2. It was only later on that I discovered that Scoot also flies from Subang airpot but, as I just checked, it is more expensive. On our way back, at the autogate immigration clearance at Seletar Airport, I followed the instructions on the panels. After I cleared both barriers, I was confused because there was no instruction to have my passport scanned, whereas I heared an officer telling a senior citizen to do that when he was guiding the latter.  So I tried to flag that officer but he was already looking at the other passengers. Instead, an officer at a counter offered to help me. I informed her that I was not asked to scan my passport. She assured me that that was alright because the machine scanned my iris instead. What?! Wow, that's so advanced!  Later, I searched and found this: Automated Lanes at t...

Seat first, please.

-
Recently, I purchased flight tickets to Australia. As usual, Ban prefers seats with extra leg room for long flights and I of course will get the seat next to his. That usually means purchasing two seats at the emergency exits, which aren't many. After comparing fares over a few dates, I settled on a certain date for the SYD-SIN-KUL flight on SIA. The next step was filling in passengers' details, which took quite sometime because I had to make sure our details were correct. Also, this time, my mother is travelling with us and so there are three passengers. After submitting this, the next step was to choose seats. However, there weren't any suitable seats left! Gosh, here I thought I was early in buying tickets. So, I had to start all over again to select the next best date. It would had taken a longer time to repeat the process if SIA app hadn't allowed me to save passengers' details. I had the same problem when booking the KUL-SIN-MEL flight. I wish airlines allow u...
