Moving and Ouchiness

Helped my GF's sister's hubby yesterday, he was moving into another condo (better shape than the previous one) in Kelana Jaya. He asked for assistance from my GF and my GF asked my to tag along, so I said OK since I had the whole afternoon for myself --- no lectures and tutorials. Speaking of lectures now... I have to wake up at 615am for a briefing at 8am (which is not of great importance) and a Pathology lecture at 9am. The briefing ended at 0840 and I had 20 minutes to spend, with my GF visiting the medical library in the faculty. At last the Pathology lecture, and I was waiting anxiously for the lecturer... I want to get it done ASAP. 1 minute past 9, 2 past 9, 10 past 9 (will she ever come?) and our class rep went looking for her. So we waited impatiently, until SoonCai got an SMS and shouted on the top of his lungs ,"CLASS CANCELLED!!" DAMN! I wasted the entire morning in the faculty, either attending a quite "useless" briefing and a phantom lecture. ZZzzz.....

Back to the moving part. We drove a big circles round and round (highways and U-turns, sigh!) to finally arrive at our destination...

With help from the compass on the left bottom of the picture (thanks to GoogleEarth services) I shall recall my journey. See from the new unit, we came out onto a highway leading us south-east. We traveled for a distance until we came to a U-Turn and took it, now the highway is leading us to where we came from, so north-west we go... Zzz... The fun has not even begun yet. We travel almost the length of the highway, coming to a roundabout where we did our second U-Turn. Then we came to the straight that we started, but at a different point. We travel south-east again (Sigh!) until we came to a junction on our left and take 2 left turns. After that, we drove north again to, do yet another U-Turn before traveling south to, finally, turn into his apartment. Damn it! It was damn far! LOL! We were always overshooting our destination before making a round back... Damn the road system!

By the way, packing up stuffs were nice. We turn on the TV (some Korean drama I seldom indulge in) and worked. But yet, my clumsy GF did not fail to hurt me again. She was pushing something to me and I was about to receive that box when suddenly--OUCH! I looked down at where it hurts and... zzz...

there's a scratch on my ---what's that again--- my small metacarpophalangeal joint... My GF was VERY apologetic... But I was already bleeding... Aihz! I had to console her, and vice-versa... But later I got a good revision on the coagulation cascade and all the "platelet clot+fibrin+serum+acute inflammation" stuff...

Anyway the day ends peacefully (other than some housemate skirmishes, my GF side of course...)
