CHIROPRACTIC


Chiropratic. This was my first time seeing this word yesterday. Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system and their hypothesized effects on the nervous system and general health, with special emphasis on the spine.

I have been having this stiff shoulder thingy on me for the past 10years and recently it got really bad! Out of desperation, I decided to pick up all the courage that I can to visit this Chiropratic First Clinic http://www.chiropractic-first.org/. What they do is basically using non-invasive method whereby no surgery and drugs are involved to correct the problem that I am facing.

On my first visit there, I was expecting a clinic full of medicine smell and grey haired doctors. To my surprise, I was welcomed by the oldies music played out from the clinic and I was immediately relaxed. I was asked to fill up a personal medical history form consisting of 4 pages which will really allow the doctor to understand my condition clearly. The nurse helped me measure my weight & height and took photo of the 4-sides of me (well, this was to help determine my bone shape contouring my body). I was then asked to see one of the doctor there who patiently explained to me how our spine will affect and causes some of the needless condition. He also showed me the spine dummy and explained to me, also to make sure I understand how chiropractic works for me. Treatment can only commerced after the xray of my spine is out next week. It was understand that chiropractic unlike other medical treatment for stiff neck, stiff shoulder, sports injuiry, etc is that is will find out the root problem of your condition and accordingly using bare hands to adjsut your spine back to its original position. If your spine is in wrong position, the nerves might be compressed which causes u to have migraine headache, stiff shoulders, sinus problem, etc. And as the if less untreated over a prolonged period, one side of your spine bone will loses its agility and rub against one another in your everyday movements which causes one side of the spine bone to wear off. That is why some people have got hunchback. Good thing is this can be corrected.

Chiropractic care in general is safe when employed skillfully and appropriately. It is also cost effective. I spent about S$100 for 2 consultations, and thereafter, per treatment will cost me S$75. Chiropractic treatments is not a long term process. Depending on your situation, 4-5 treatments within 2 months will be enough to cure u completely from inside out. I witness one Japanese man with his treatment and it seems to me that it was not pain as the man was still chatting with the doctor.

Well, let me try this out and will update my blog again. Ciaoz.

PUMA FASHION SHOW

Here are some pictures from the PUMA fashion show I attended yesterday. The celerities that attended were Jade Seah, Thomas Chan, Eunice Olsen, Paula Malai, etc. Most of the guests invited are the Media people including myself. Reporters were also there to take coverage of the event. The purpose of this fashion show is to set a trend in Singapore for the upcoming F1 night race. Being the first F1 race in Singapore, people may not know what to wear that is both comfortable and trendy to the event, hence PUMA Rev' Up Your Style provides a fashion idea to that. Personally, I do like PUMA apparels. The material is really comfortable and in style. So if you don't own a PUMA apparel yet, go try one. Their biggest flagship store is located at Marina & also Vivo City.

10 things you don't know about your body:


1) Your mouth produces 1 litre (1.8 pints) of saliva a day.
2) The human head contains 22 bones. More on the head and brains.
3) Men loose about 40 hairs a day. Women loose about 70 hairs a day.

I conquered the Tree Top Walk!

6.30am In bed till bee smsed me
6.40am Returned to bed and struggled to wake up while bee dilligently drove to fetch me. heehee
6.50am Finally awoke, wash up

7.45am Starting point- Alexandra Arch
8.05am Ended Forest Walk. 1.3km estimated 20mins
8.15am Stepped on the renowned architecture- The Great Henderson Wave. Very impressive indeed.
8.20am Faber Walk
8.25am Marang Trail
9.00am Breakfast @ ToastBox Vivo City

Even though my muscles ached much after the up & down Tree Top walk, but I am glad that I enjoyed the morning walk and the feeling of waking up early and feel the energized sun rays landed on your skin, really feels good. The best time to start the walk will be 6.30am-7.30am where the air is the freshest and the sun will not be too strong to make the walk tedious. Well, I will surely visit there again.

My Memorable Tioman Trip [08/08 - 11/08]





Relax. Beach. Bikini. Sun. Fishing. Friendship. These are my conclusion for my Tioman trip. After 2 hrs of journey on the road, we continued on another 3hrs of boat ride and 30mins of bumpy up mountain 4-wheel ride! Through the up mountain 4-wheel ride, I passed by tall trees with skinny trunks. The air was so fresh that it penetrates my skin and harmony as one. The beach that I will be residing for the next 3 days is called Juara Mutiara. I was blown away by the magnificent ocean and sandy beach. When I walked bare foot on the beach, the sand felt like marshmellows mixed with jelly beans on my foot- soft, tender and sweet. On the second day, we decided to go fishing & made some fishermen friends! I caught my first fish during my first attempt! Adrenaline flows through my entire body and I felt excited & scared at the same time. I also went snorkelling, well only for a brief >1min. But at least I can understand why bee likes to go diving & snorkelling. Sometimes, we have to go through it ourselves in order to understand why your partner likes certain things that with u using your right mind to think, will come to no avail. I felt blessed to have bee in my life. During the trip, he took care of me, carried my big heavy bag, was patience with me when I am moody & entertains me when he was already so tired physically. THANKS bee. U r my hero! Well, the trip was indeed brought to its peak with the company of Max & Karen. They are awesome friends of bee! I am proud of them too! Look forward to our next adventure!
OH BTW! I just found out some facts about Tioman! Here it goes:
  • Tioman Island is the world 10th most beautiful island
  • It was used as setting for Hollywood musical movie entitled South pacific (Bai Hai) in the year 1953

  • According to the legend, the mystical of Tioman Island is resting of magical dragon princess who whilst flying from China to her beloved prince in Singapore, sought solace in the crystal waters of South China Sea. She was pleased with the charm surrounding and discontinue her journey and search for happiness in order to give pleasure and comfort to weary passing seafarers as well as providing shelter and refreshment to fisherman by turning herself into this beautiful island. (Well! this is definitely different from the version that one passer-by shared with us?? hmm)

Sher- one of my friend in CHC got married in July' 08, she's 24 this year. I attended her wedding and shed tears as I am very touched by them (the bride & the groom). I got to know the both of them before they started off in their relationship and now- getting married. The journey was long indeed. I remembered there was once, whereby a few of us went Kallang to play basketball, Sher & Alvin strolled in the court in a Navy couple top! I was amused then by how adorable this couple can be. And now when I looked back, it was actually very sweet. I wonder if they will continue the couple tops when they are in Sweden. Be blessed!
