2015 is a Painful Year

The year started out quite well other than nursing a really broken heart. Then I got very sick with cough and sore throat and it took almost two months to get well. Almost every week I was taking MC. I was coughing so badly that I visited three different doctors and the last doctor said if I was still coughing for another week, I would have to get my X-ray done for suspected pneumonia. 

I have also been getting frequent cramps in my legs when I sleep at night. They are so painful I can scream in the middle of the night. Hence, I started to go for frequent leg massages and looking for the best value-for-money place. So far, it has helped significantly and the frequency of leg cramps have reduced.

Then in March, I twisted my ankle while walking. It was a flat road but I had no idea why and how on earth could I get it twisted. It became swollen quite instantly and the pain was throbbing. I quickly went to the nearby acupuncturist after my event. 

And ended up with a bandaged ankle. It was just so painful and impossible to walk. I was rolling on my chair in the house. It didn't get better. So a few days later, I visited another TCM and got bandaged again.

In July, I met with a car accident and the back of my car was crashed into. It gave me a shock but I was glad I was fine. The other party was luckily kind not to give me too much headache.

And in November, I visited the TCM again for my hand as it has been feeling weak and limp and my wrist cracked easily. The sinseh rubbed so hard and it was so painful I was tearing/crying inside the room. 

I hope this is the end of painful TCM visits for this year.

Just after posting this at 6:51pm yesterday, I went over to my brother's place in the evening and while cutting the onion, I cut myself on my thumb. The knife sliced through my nail into the flesh. It was painful and till now it is still numb.

It hasn't ended I guess... sigh

Re-posting this song again:

葉子 是不會飛翔的翅膀             翅膀 是落在天上的葉子
天堂 原來應該不是妄想             只是我早已經遺忘
當初怎麼開始飛翔

孤單 是一個人的狂歡                 狂歡 是一群人的孤單
愛情 原來的開始是陪伴             但我也漸漸地遺忘
當時是怎樣有人陪伴

我一個人吃飯 旅行 到處走走停停
也一個人看書 寫信 自己對話談心
只是心又飄到了哪裡
就連自己看也看不清
我想我不僅僅是失去你

I deserve someone better than you.

Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore

Another staycation at a privileged rate of $225++ with a late checkout at 6pm the next day! Think still quite worth it! It is conveniently linked to Tanglin Mall through level 2 which has many cafes, food, supermarket, swim wear, sports attire, children and dress shops!!! 

Cute fonts to indicate your rooms:

Why didn't the room have some cups, teaspoons or complimentary tea and coffee?

The iron and ironing board is tucked neatly underneath the sofa.

Love the flower wallpaper!

A movable side table!

What I found so cool about this alarm clock is that it is light-sensitive! When I switched off all the lights, it dimly lit up displaying the time. I wished I could bring this home! Now I need to find where can I buy this!

A well-designed bathroom that saved space while not compromising comfort, table and storage spaces. I should design my future bathroom in this manner - lights shining into the mirror to enhance brightness; sink with ample table space; shelves under the sink; shelves beside the sink; handles to hand towels; black tiles.

The wardrobe.

My view from my window. There were floats that you can lie on at the pools!

A pity that there were limited cable channels. 

Choose from 2000 papers and eco-friendly reading!

A really good spread of Asian buffet breakfast!!

Really liked their laksa!

And their chicken rice! Love the ginger and chilli! There was also bryani, bak kut teh, a variety of bread, cereals, fruits, eggs station, dim sum, etc.

Fort Canning Hotel Singapore

A staycation treat from my friend over the weekend! The location was a little inaccessible and was quite a distance to walk. However, the hotel is far from the crowd and if you need a serene place, this is it. The downside is that there are no nearby convenience shops or restaurants that you can go to.

The room was big with a large cupboard with mirror sliding doors. 

The smart TV could control the lights and blinds in the room!  

This large white door opens into the large bathroom. Feels so colonial! 

The view from the bathroom. A pity there was only ONE hook to hang like a hundred clothes and towels. Oh ya, you have to call the reception to ask for bath robes.

The luxurious bath tub!

Standing shower with big rain head!

Bath tub with bubbles... hehe...

Toilet accessories placed neatly in a nice box.

An iPod speaker but was with the old port. 

A Nespresso machine.

Complimentary Nespresso pods together with TWG teabags.

Free light snacks at the lobby.

Colonial stairs.

Relaxing pool. There is another lap pool at the side for serious swimmers. Their swimming pools are filled with mineral water treated by a system from NASA used for the astronauts' drinking water and a system developed for European Aerospace. So you don't smell of chlorine after swimming.

Buffet breakfast is of intercontinental spread:
