Off(line) I go! for a better sleep and a better tomorrow (literally). Have a lecture at 8am, then going to do 2 hours of work, have 1 more hour of lecture, then lunch with Shirley, then home, then to church to put in the wire for projector then for recording. phew.. long day ahead…

Check out these new findings about computer usage and sleep. I think I’m like so  dead tired because of it.

I forgot to say something about my finger after my appontment in the morning.. I have early trigger finger. Just need to stretch it regularly and then put some cream 3 times a day.

My left pinky hurts!  I think i have a RSI! Read some stories from other people.. think its really quite common! It only started happening after I used a normal keyboard again after passing my laptop to my bro.. I shall hunt for a better one tomorrow or maybe send the microsoft one in for repair. I never thought my body would start to experience problems like this. I think it’s kinda like a wakeup call. I mean, I’m only 23 for goodness sake! I shouldn’t be having this kinda problems!

Anyway, here’s the low down on whats going on

So I taped up my hand so the pinky can’t twist. Now it presses the CTRL button downwards, not sidewards. I shifted the tape abit down to the side of my hand, like where the green arrow is. It holds better. Any physio-therapist reading this? haha.. Help me!

I fully intended to give Sandra my leftover leukoplast tape from JC climbing days. See, its even in my sacred action area. haha.. Looks like its not going anywhere.

Well, I’m kinda done with this post. All therapists would tell you ice and rest would work.. and theres nothing really much they can do. I shall give photoshopping and keyboard shortcuts a real rest now. Oh man.. My body really seems to be quite funny now. Better take care of it more, like sleeping before 11. its now 2333.. off to bed I go!

Tomorrow will be the first FBI session for this sem. One half of me is like quite tired of it actually.. On a slightly related note, Ecclesiastes 5:1 caught my eye the other day because of something which I forgot. Anyway, the verse is still in my mind with regard to service and all. Which leads me to the next point - I think I signed up for too many things but I can’t cut anything out now because its too late

• PS and Angelyn’s Wedding
• FBI
• Cantata Recording (piano)
• Cantata Recording (singing)
• Buck’s site
• Choir for church anniversary

I’ve dropped choir, simply because I will be taking care of the sound that day and don’t want to be flustered after working out problems and sing up there after. I’m almost finishing piano recordings too.. the singing one is what bothers me. As for uncle buck’s site, I’ve almost finished it too.. I’m not happy with it I don’t know why. I have to get a new cable for the mics in church. Totally wasted 2hours in church because one cable spoilt and we had no extra last wednesday. Well well, I have to go rest! My foot still hurts, more constant than usual now. Shall go find doctor soon..

Oh man, my foot is killing me. What the articles say are totally true. When the foot is being used there is no pain. Once I rest and the foot tries to return to its normal shape and then I step on it again it hurts. It hurts in the morning when I step on it too. Its called Plantar Fasciitis. I hope i got it diagnosed correctly. Cos if its something else, its probably worse. Check out the flowchart for diagnosing foot problems.

I have a small dillema too. Which would you choose between? Footrot + Ingrown  toenail? or an aching sole of your foot everyday? Because I have to either wear sandals or shoes respectively. Haven’t seen any sandals with good arch support other than  Birks which are like.. rock hard AND expensive. Sigh.. So sian man. This is what I get after wearing sandals for a year because of foot rot. I even wore it in the states la! This is like so unfair. Oh well..
