Legend

I was on a Wikipedia Related Articles Trail earlier last night, and eventually I came back to the page of a certain person.

Turns out that 68 years ago yesterday, a legend was born.

He would have been this old too, but was only 32 when he died.

Claustrophobia Sets In

I went for my first ever MRI in my life today, and I must say it was quite an experience. Didn't need contrast material because it didn't have to be go too detailed. The machine itself was a lot smaller than I had previously imagined (from watching too much House) and I almost couldn't fit.

By the time I got in I was staring at a plastic ceiling with a speaker about 5 cm from my face, and it kind of felt like a coffin. I had to stay really still but my breaths started getting heavier.

This is probably the first time I have ever truly felt what claustrophobia was like, and I must say it's not nice at all. Hopefully I'll never have to do that again.

I was recently introduced to a show by John, a biopic about Chinese martial art folk action movie hero Bruce Lee. Since streaming from a Chinese site sucked like a cheap whore (pardon the expression), I went out and got myself the DVDs.

It's something I could spend my time on, beyond the re-dubbing, lousy acting by the angmohs and the songs that were so full of cheese they actually became full of win.

Pity I couldn't write more because I've been actively trying to numb myself lately, spending over two thirds of a day lying down somewhere because sitting too long brings the pain in the ass back, so I'll start writing meaningful stuff when I stop walking like an ah peh.

Or you could say I never wrote anything meaningful before so it would be a good start.

Excerpt from the past

Dear Diary,

My sister has been here since after dinner until just now. So only NOW I get to use the computer.

Two more people died from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome today. A Tan Tock Seng Hospital cardiological doctor died because of previous contact with an infected person. Another one is a nurse I think... Or family of one... Not to sure. What's more, all the 7 cases of new infections today are nurses. And one of them was from a private clinic. Getting more and more scary, this virus.

Also saw that U.S. troops entered central Baghdad. The war should be over by this weekend. Thank goodness. But they're still unsure whether Saddam Hussein and Chemical Ali are still alive though. If they are, they should be on their way to launch their chemical missiles. If they aren't, the war is over already.

Hope this world gets better. Soon. Enough.

Signing out,

Polalion"

Being stuck at home

Sucks.

30 Rock is an awesome show by the way. So is Dexter.

Two totally different shows, but equally as awesome. Get around to watch them when you're also unemployed and stuck at home involuntarily due to a back injury that presses a nerve which causes immense pain in the leg.

Well have fun!
