Prius C
Small and convenient. These two words come to mind when talking about Prius-C. Spring for all the add-ons and you would not regret it.
Compared with CT200h, it even has keyless entry.
It may not be as sprinty as the other Hybrids from Toyota. But, it does a decent job of getting people from
point A to B.
So far, fuel consumption seems quite economical. The trip computer tells me that I am now running on an average of 20km/l. Which in my standards; is considered insane.

Cycling on Labor Day
Another cycling event. This is organized by DAP. It's 35km along mostly flat terrain.
Everyone started gathering around 6:30AM at the IJM Promenade. As I approached the place. I could
see a sea of people in RED and I knew that this is a big event.
Organized like the other cycling event I went earlier. The flag off only started around 7:10AM. It was difficult to maneuver; especially since there's lots of people who could hardly keep their bike balanced.
Along the entire journey, there were many accidents involving bicycles and other bicycles.
On the bright side; the weather is good and the ride was fun.

Cycling for a cause.
Waking up at 5AM on a Sunday. Does not sound like a typical you do. If it is for a cause, I guess it does make a difference.
This is an annual charity event run by St Nicholas Homes.

My First Weekend in BED...
I am not a person who likes to lie around... The last advise I heard from my Dr. was that I am not allowed to sit around for more than 20 minutes and that I should lie in bed most of the times.
Haiz... thus begins my LONG LONG LONG journey to recovery...

Time to leave GMC.
It's Saturday, and time for me to be discharged. I was informed by a nurse to settle the last payments at the Accounts before I am allowed to be discharged.
I hobbled down to Accounts with Pauline by my side to settle the bill. Service was reasonably prompt, but not fast enough. I suddenly felt the urgent call of nature. I had to leave for the toilet pronto.
I left Pauline to collect the paperworks from Accounts while I retreated back to the toilet in my room.
Made it without a moment to spare.. As soon as my pants came off and I parked myself on the toilet bowl. The first barrage was fired. Soon enough, it was over.
As I exit the toilet. Pauline had already returned to the ward and the papers passed to the nurse.
The nurses needed some time to prepare the medicine for us to take back. After that, it was nearly lunch time. And since, I had already paid for lunch. I decided to wait for lunch before going home.
Lunch came, and I finished it with gusto. Feeling full, Pauline and I made our way to leave the room, ward and hospital. I will only return on 24/04 for a follow up appointment.

My first Walk after the OP.
Dr. Param, my doctor came over to visit and checked my wound... He also asked me how I was feeling. I told him that I felt numbness in my left hand and my right leg..
Anyway, he encouraged me to try and walk.
I shifted my body to the side of the bed and moved to a sitting position.
Then, I stood up... Feeling a little light-headed... I stumbled a few steps forward.. The Dr stopped me from falling. He then, told me to sit on the bed for a while.
After a while, I managed to take some baby steps.. My body still retorted...

Time to cut it open...
"Mr. Andy... Time to wake up"... I thought I was dreaming, then I felt a finger prodding me in my back... I woke up and turned to see a nurse standing near my bed. It's time for the operation.
She hands me the Operation Garment and asks me to change into it. I was also asked to clear my bowels.
I hopped into the toilet for a quick change and also to clear my bowels as instructed.
I sat and waited for my "carriage" to arrive and take me for my OP.
Soon enough, my "carriage" arrived and I was carted away to the dungeon (the Pre-Op Room).
I was soon greeted by the Anesthetist. He prepped me and soon I was in Dreamland.

And, the result is..............
Just woke up from the Anesthesia. The doctor left a "care package" as a memorabilia.
Seems that my disc is completely degenerated and therefore needs to be removed.
