1 Leg Kicking

1 leg kicking reminds us of the holiday movie produced locally by director Eric Khoo and including actors such as Gurmit Singh and Ah Beng Lee Tok Gong. One Leg Kicking, on the other hand, is a heart-warming tale about a rag-tag bunch of laymen defying the odds to qualify for the 2002 World Cup, rather like the underdog Jamaican sled team in Cool Runnings. haha...This show has no relation albeit the the title carries the action that has dominated my movement over the last few days.

A picture speaks a thousand words. The picture depicts the end result of a soft bone that was 'damaged' by whatsoever reason due to unforeseen circumstances. I prefer to recognise it as a time to slow down, relax and an opportunity to gain sympathy points from passengers on MRT trains and SBS buses. :) Oh come on...this is Singapore, OF COURSE seats will be readily given up for me...right? haha...coupled with that experience would be that of having the most wonderful time of my life bathing with a leg stuck out of the cubicle. You have no idea how uncomfortable that was. And yes, another few more rounds to go until it is time for the bandages to come off.

The Rooibos Tea is a by-product from RoibO Tea which failed to make it into the market during the craze of the bubble tea era. They tried the 'healthy drinks' concept which didn't quite work in a deep-fried nation. Well, it's now on sale at a mere dollar per bottle and yes..I decided to get it as a boost to my already low morale from limping around from place to place since Tuesday morning. Know what? It tastes pretty good with the blend of wild honey and lemon... (Can anyone imagine how wild honey is like? As in...how wild it can get?)
Next to it lays a 10cm by 7cm ziplock that contains herbs pounded into modernised pills. I laughed for the first time in the day when I saw those pills. The smell of herbs permeated into the air when I opened that little receptacle... No doubt the sinsei has jumped on the bandwagon to modernisation.

"You don't like the pile of herbs on your table? Well, we can also offer you them in pill format. :) Please settle the bill at the front desk. Take Care and come back in 2 days' time!"

I thought about it and asked myself how I would react if I were to remain like this for the rest of my life...I don't know. And that's frail I realised I am. That's also how frail an deceitful our hearts are until we are brought before circumstances that force us to recognise that part of us. Like it or not, that's the truth. The cruelty and facade of life have left us to grow on our apathy towards life. If we think we had it all, we have been consistently watching our lives...think again. That's just how frail I am. I'm way too comfortable in this society of dead and dry bones that needs life. I have a broken soft bone...but what I need is a broken heart.

Oh Jesus...help me.
