New Injury,Classes and Dumplings







It has been a few weeks since I last updated, although I have been having a laid back time due to the relaxing classes and schedule. Last Saturday, while playing volleyball(not training, just having some fun time with my teammates) I reinjured my left leg which makes my record of 3 leg injuries in 3 consecutive months.(first I injured my left ankle on a basketball training on April, then my right ankle last month during volleyball games and now my left ankle again).
I haven't had any injury during my volleyball training for the past 3 years of playing it and all of the sudden I start to get injuries so frequently, I am really wondering what has gone wrong. Here are some postulations, my current sport shoes are a bit too loose and for aesthetic purpose I skipped down the last row of my shoe lace and tied it one row below so that the "lip" of the shoes will protrude more.
For prophylaxis of further injury, I will be buying basketball shoes and ankle guard. I will also do some ankle strengthening exercises.
This week I am having obstetrics and gynecology cylce. Upon reaching the class we were asked to go down to the registration counter and ask for the key to the changing room and change into our surgical gowns.
The place we had to go to change was underground and the stairs down was pretty scary with the lights on the stairs flickering non stop and steep staircases. To add to the matter, the changing room was in fact a room with bars to lock our stuff in, giving it a jail cell look. The place was also dark and very chilly giving all of us a sort of feeling that the place was what the Chinese call "dirty".
Today, I came home early as teacher had a conference that she had to attend to. So I decided to try once more making the "man tau" and dumplings with the red bean paste that I took so much effort and went through hell to make.
This time, I was rewarded as both the dumpling and the man tau seemed nice to me.
