To the Land of Tom Yam Soup

This is a fast week since I was back from Land of the Kangaroos.

Touched down on Sat evening. Luckily the weather in Singapore is still okay as compared to Australia. Initially, I was afrad that I can't get used to the humidity back at home.

Considering 3 weeks without a real gym workout, I decided to do some static exercise at home. Only to end up with a strained back. This was the worst injury I had ever since I left army. So bad that my legs are shaking when I tried to stand up without support. I can't even wear my pants while standing, so I had to sit and wear my pants. Saw a chinese sinseh. He nearly killed me. I broke into cold sweat when he was rubbing my back and thigh. It was so painful that I went to grab his hand.

Sinseh: DUN GRAB MY HAND.
me: "Bite my lips and grab onto the table" ARGH...

But at least he was good, I managed to raise my leg after that session.

The verdict was a week of rest without exercise. I felt fat and untrained.

At least, now i am well again. Gym yesterday when I saw Alvin in the gym as well. He was trying to build strength. He had an operation recently on his knee. Can't remember what is it exactly. Just knew that something snapped when someone tackled him during soccer.

And a 10km run with Wenxing this morning. And welcome Wenxing to the car owning club. Road taxes, car insurance, ERP, Parking fees await him....

A flight to catch in 4 hrs time. 6 days of shopping. and 4 days leave left. Where should I go next?
