Hi all~


First I like to inform everyone is that, I have gone thru abt 2/3 of my MC….
Hee~
Tt means I left one more week of mc before going back to work after the 22nd Jan…

Hmm..
Yup, I got 19 days mc…

How I got it?

Well, I was warded into the hospital on the 4th jan to do a MRI scan…
Wad’s MRI? It’s Magnetic Resonance Imaging…

It’s like an xray but using magnetic wave to scan the body..

So the MRI was for my lower back…
For those who knows me, I’m seeing a doctor for my back pains…

So I was discharged on the 5th Jan, and the doctor that discharge me, gave me 19days mc from 4th – 22nd jan..

He didn’t tell me abt the mc, but when the nurse that came to settle the discharge papers with me, he told me that this is my mc, I got warded on 4th, discharge on 5th, and the mc is valid for 19days…

Then I was blur blur… huh? Mc got valid one meh? I tot mc is mc lor…. Still got date of valid? Then I see the mc… then I saw, unfit for work for 19days from 4th till 22nd jan…

I was like fu~wahhhh~! I ask the nurse, u mean I got 19 days mc…. Unbelieveing wad I saw in the paper in my own hands…. N it had my name n ic number on it..

Hee~
Doing the mri as in-patient was a smart choice~ hee~

Anyway…

So I’ve been slacking at home… my officer came to visit me at home, cpt chua n 2wo ong….

Playing maplestory every nite from 12am till morning abt 6am or 10am
Then sleep, waking up at noon ard 4-6pm…

Haiz… so fast, 2 weeks have passed…
1 more week, and I got to go back to work..
kind of missed work, camp, my bed in camp…
^_^v

oh yah, my new trademark smiley….. ^_^v or v^_^ ….
My trademark, cos of something I did when during the charity concert last year….
Ok lah, nothing much to say for now…

Hope to see u guys soon, in band n outside~
Take care…

Oh yah…
My back, the disc ard 3/4 n 4/5 is pinching on the nerve…. Tt’s y it costing the pain..
If it worsen, I might lose the ability of my lower limbs…
Means I cant walk, run, move abt, or even the having the ultimate pleasure of life~!
Haiz~ stress~ hope my back wont worsen lor~!!!!

CNY coming… then aft that… I’ll start to X’mas mood for 10months~ hahahahah~
^_^v



take care all~
Keithz~ ^_^v

1st of all….
I just wanna wish everyone
a Happy New Year 2005…

Have you made ur new resolution/s yet?
Did u look back wat u did for 2004?

let’s look back wad happened for me in 2004…

saf bands just shifted to Nee Soon camp…
got my temp d/grade to pes C9L2…
passed my theory grade6… lol…

it’s saf bands 10th anniversary…
the anniversary concert at esplanade hall…
a concert with frank ticheli
a jazz concert with some of singapore’s jazz greats…

Singapore Trombone Choir had their inaugural concert….
It’s the performing wing of the Trombone Society, Singapore

Got my monette prana mouthpiece for a yr liaoz~
Sold my bam trombone gig bag to order new ones from marcus bonna…
Elsie got a own getzen trb….

Had a few gigs here and there…
Signed a contract to take the brass section of a sec sch…

Went on a year-end trip with my dearest meow….~

Year end trip…
What a nice and relaxing way to end the year…

Went for a short trip….
Left for Genting Highlands on 26th Dec….
Got thru the JB customs 2nd link at 12midnite…

Not feeling well… wondering if it’s the hotplate I had for lunch..
Breaking out a cold n fever….
Sianz…

Felt weaker n weaker during the journey…
Had supper at Ayer Hitam…
Reach First World Hotel at abt 6am?
Had hot chocolate at starbucks….
Then walk thru the cold corridor to the hotel we’re going to stay at…
Resort Hotel…

1st world hotel rooms is newer but crammy….
Resort hotel’s room space ok, but got 2 queen side beds…
Still too early to check in..
So we sat at the coffeebean….
Slept till 930am then khoo n ginny started queueing to check in…
I still not feeling well… so I slept till they settled the procedures….

Got our rooms at 1030am…. We at 16144, ginny n khoo at 16146…
We slept till abt 230pm n headed for lunch…

Elsie n I took our lunch at Kenny Rogers… cos just 2 weeks b4 she went to Malacca with her sch…. Then saw the pamplet for Kenny rogers but didn’t have a chance to try…
So this time round, she die die must try…. Hahahahhaa…

The Kenny rogers working system differ from singapore’s….
For those who been to sg’s noe how we work..
Then for our Malaysian counter-parts…. It like going into a restaurant….
U sit down… look thru the menu and the waiter comes n take ur orders…
So we ordered the chessy spag with ¼ chix, bolognaise spag with ¼ chix, hot potato jacket with 3 side dishes…

The food sure took a long time to arrive… cos is u order liao then they cook…. Unless singapore’s… almost like fast food….
Then by the time our food got to us… it’s quite cold liaoz…
The chix herby taste is more sourish then singapore’s…

The hot side dishes are also cold liaoz…
Is it the climate? The temp of the surroundings?

Anyway… the bill came… and I pay for it…
Elsie n I walked round the indoor theme park…
Too late to try out the outdoor stuffs… so many pple…

We bought 2 tixs to watch phantom of the opera…
830pm show…

then we took the wormy monorail ride… brings u round the indoor n outdoor theme parks…

the flying coaster looks fun… but not worth the price now… cos it’s just launched this dec’04….

Then we go back hotel room n rest b4 going out for the movie later….
Ginny n khoo just came back too…
Told them abt the Kenny rogers… show them the receipt for it then realized tt the waiter took the wrong receipt to me… hahaha…
So be abt 45-50 ringgits… I ended only paying 30.10ringgits… n I gave him 2.20ringgit as tips… hahahah~!

Left the rm at 8pm n went over for the movie…
Ooh~ I love the way phantom was made…
It’s like a closer look at the whole story..
I watch the musical when it was in Singapore in march 1995? At kallang theatre….

The aria ‘think of me’ has a different cadenza at the end… was surprised by it… refreshing…. Hahaha~

Phantom looks like Antonio Banderas…. Hee~
Sad ending…. Phantom in hiding, christine’s dead, raoul is old…
Ooh~ and Meg Giry…. I didn’t noe is a blonde with huge shalfed up in ur face knockers…

The show ended abt 11pm… we had dinner at kryos kebab…. Another mistake… the kebab meat so dry like bah-kua~!

Walked abt… went to buy Baskin Robbins Ice Cream… 3 scoops… strawberry, cookie ‘n cream, and chocolate with hazelnut… so good~!

Went back rm…. Showered… elsie fell asleep while I was watching Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on tv…. The next show was Ghostship… I didn’t noe… cos I went out to the lift lobby to smoke… came back started showing liaoz…. I got the disc… elsie told me to buy tt time… but the irony of it is she wanted to watch but I didn’t want to watch tt time… now I ended up watching it with her sleeping besides me… hahahah~

Heard next door, ginny n khoo just came back from the casino…. Went over to their rm to watch ghostship n smoke…

Then after the show, went to sleep…

The 4 of us bought 4 ramly burgers, bbq chix wings, n R$30+ worth of lok-lok per couple…

Wad’s lok-lok? It’s basically mobile streamboat makan…. The ingredients are all poked onto satay sticks… then diff food got diff price… so it’s abt R$1.5-2.5/stick…

Aft u selected what u want, then u dump them into a hot boiling pot of soup stock cum streamboat…. Then u either eat on the spot or u can packet back… then the aunty will count the sticks n charge u accordingly…

So showered n crept to bed n slept…..



29th Dec 2004
