Fifteenth day — Preparing to be discharged tomorrow

The screw points had dry up and there were no discharge at the forehead which I could see. Behind the skull the two points still have a little sore, like the healing bruise kind. I had little constipation while clearing the bowels. After washing up, I quickly start the exercise.

Morning Exercise

I started the exercise at about 7:45pm. I did about 4,000 steps today, measured by the Huawei mobile instead of the watch. The watch went dead and needed to be charged. When I did about 2000 steps, Dr Rhamani came to check on me. He was please with my progress and discipline in my exercise routine. He did a quick check, request the nurse to help remove my plasters at all the screw points, so that I could get a good bath and go home tomorrow. He explained about the slowing down of the medicine over a period and he would be seeing me perhaps in two weeks time. 

I continued my exercise. Dr. David Choy passed by and I showed him two thumbs up. Everything is fine. 

I ended the exercise with the BaDuanJin. 

Fountain Pen Drawing

I stood and drew one drawing from a photograph I had taken last evening next to the window.

Thirty Eight -- A break from the routine

Image
I had decided that Sunday to be dedicated to my other pleasure, photography. The routine of everyday can take a rest. I went out early to photograph birds and nature. Bishan Park, my favourite site, was looking warm and welcoming. Already many people were there, some running, some cycling, some walking and a few photographing with heavy, huge, camouflaged lens. I admired their strength and endurance to haul the weight and held them up to chase after that split moment. The lens and camera are expensive too. I used a bridge camera that is light in weight and my pocket. I hardly felt the prickling during bird hunting, perhaps I was too engrossed, or it was really so. I took all my meal at home and shuttled to the garden again after my breakfast and lunch. It was amazing to watch the bird going by their beings. Finally after two months, I was back to my routine, photographing. Birds are always alert, conscious of their environment and ever ready to take the flight of fright. I had learned ...

Twenty-Third day — reading cursive writing

Image
We went out for morning exercise at 7am. I walked at a slower pace, did about 3500 steps, then wind down with BaDuanJin. There were still some prickling at the tongue while I was walking. Q We saw the Flamed Back Woodpecker, hopping and scanning the bark of the tree trunk. Beautifully lighted in the golden light. She photographed, while I continued my walk. There were many kind park users who love to collect the crust of bread and spread them on selected grass patch, disregarding the no-feeding sign or the regulation. Previously I ever saw a beautiful yellow Oriole choked on the piece of bread. The Myna and the pigeon, mostly the black and grey bird know how to break it down before swallowing them. A proliferation of Myna and Pigeon can impact on the population of other birds population that are necessary for an ecologically balanced nature. Beauty is perhaps the only possible measure of that balance.  I always believe in sharing food with birds or animals but not the wrong kind of...
