my poor feet...

stain of the herbs is still visible on my ankle and sole... the pain is still there on and off... aiyooo.. i nv knew it was tat serious. abt 1 mth ago, my feet got stuck in the drain. as i was in a rush to office, i juz hurry off when i got my feet out of the drain, without even checking if my feet is okay. then as days pass by, i felt the pain when i walked. the pain is somewhere at my sole but i still did not pay attention to it until recently, the condition seems worsen. tat was when i decided to pay the sinseh a visit. when the sinseh tried to find out where the problem is, he saw tat my feet is a bit swollen. so he used a stick to point out to the ligament which i injured. the moment he tried to press hard on tat injured portion, i really cannOt tahan liao. the pain is juz unbearable. yes, my feet is really swollen and i really sprained my ankle ah. faint sia... i din noe it was tat bad. sinseh said tat if i did not treat my injures, i will sprain my ankle very easily in future. he said tat within these 3 days i muz not injure my ankle again and if i dun feel the pain after 3 days, i shld be fine. well, today is 1st day and i still feel the pain la. hopefully tomolo and day after will be better. aiyoooo... how come so jialat and yet i din realised sia... haiz...

Lombok Trip

alrighty.... update! update! got complains from my faithful blog readers again... paiseh la.. busy busy la... my latest update shall be my recent overseas trip:

abt 2 weeks ago, i went to one of the Indonesian island, Lombok for a 3 days 2 nights business trip. the main purpose of the trip is to know more abt Lombok and what Lombok can offer for its tourists as well as check out how the holiday resorts and hotels in Lombok look like. for me, it is my 1st time to Indonesia. yes! i had nv been to Indonesia although it is so near to spore.

basically for the whole trip, there were alot of site inspection on hotels and resorts. the schedule was so packed tat we hardly had our own time to roam around the place. however, along the way, the magnificent view of the coastal line and the mountains certainly created a very deep impression in my mind. if pple were to ask me abt Lombok, i will be reminded of its natural beauty of sand, sea and sun... YES! Lombok is very hot at tis period of the year as it is the dry season but i guess for such beach island destination, such hot weather can nv be avoided. haha... took a lot of photos over the 3 days, here r some of the lovely ones to share with all...

on board the plane when it was abt to land in Lombok's airport... from tis view, it seems tat we r flying at a height which is same as the mountain...

1st night stay was in Oberoi Resort, one of the very exlcusive resort in Lombok. it has its own road leading to the resort from the main road. it has its own jetty to ferry its guests to the outlying Gili islands. though it is located faraway (abt 40mins ride) from the main tourist area, Oberoi has its own uniqueness and the resort is well-equipped with all the necessary activities, amenities to cater to its guests. a resort tat is suitable for couples who r looking for a exclusive place to enjoy a world of theirs.
