Absolutely Fuzzed - 09/01/2004: "Bruises"

My ankle has swelled up in a myriad of purple and brown and green which can only mean two things; it's either getting better or worse. Mom decided to take things into her own hands (because I'd probably just let it heal by itself although I know it isn't the best of ideas) and made me a hard boiled egg. I'm not sure if this is a common practice but in my family, when someone has a minor internal injury, we whip out the ol' pot and hard boil an egg and when it's ready we peel it and wrap it in a muslin cloth and rub the affected area. It's hot, it gets a little sticky but it works like a charm. Fifteen minutes and my kaleidoscope has diminished into a single, solitary brown hue. Brilliant stuff, them eggs.

It's honestly not too bad, I can walk without pain and I even drove today. I thought I was doing alright until my grandmother asked me if there was something wrong with my foot. I told her that it's fine but nothing gets past my grandmother. The next time she saw me again she said 'Go get your sprain fixed tomorrow at the chinese doctor, ok? It's not good to leave it unattended for so long!' I foresee a trip to the chinese whatchamacallit clinic tomorrow which will result in my ankle being tortured back in form before being wrapped up in some herbal concoction.. which means I probably won't be able to make it to Bar Savanh tomorrow night..

Lynn's gone to Singapore for the weekend and I just came back from a yum cha session with Eleana. I just realized that I had SEVEN limau ais drinks today and TWO maggi gorengs.. lunch and dinner combined. How typically unhealthily Malaysian. I love maggi goreng though, preferably with no veg and made extra spicy. Lotus in Bangsar does an excellent one.

I was just surfing RBJ and I clicked on the Malaysian section, and I'm very happy to note that there are 18 pages (20 users per page) from Malaysia registered up there. It's been awhile since I last visited the site. I'm also mildly amused to find myself one of the first few Malaysians who registered and then I realized that this domain is indeed almost three years old. I have been blogging for way too long! :) But anyway, click on the RBJ link, because it apparently ups my ranking every time someone does. Cool. I wonder what I'm ranked.

Time to sleep, Nik's *still* in a meeting and hasn't slept for more than 2 hours in the last 38. It's a little insane, as it's close to 2 am where we are. I hope he finishes soon. I wonder how much coffee he had today :)

Yea the boiled egg usually helps.. I always boil an egg when I have bruises.

Hope your leggy gets well soon.. Take cares babez!

Saw u in RBJ.. u rank 18...luvly eyes makeup!
