Birth of the Fiog Blog: Diary of a Broken Ankle : Day 57
http://fiogblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/diary-of-broken-ankle-day-57.html
Sunday, October 07, 2012. Diary of a Broken Ankle : Day 57. After 18 days after cast removal and 3 physio sessions, I just came off the one crutch. Still walking with a little limp but the muscles are getting stronger. As time went along, the other muscles in the foot started getting into the swing of things. Though I can't do ankle raises on the one foot yet, I can start to pretend I don't have a limp. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). FEEDJIT Live Traffic Feed. Three Oh Eight Eight.

Birth of the Fiog Blog: The day life stood....still
http://fiogblog.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-day-my-life-stoodstill.html
Wednesday, September 12, 2012. The day life stood.still. I could call this story of a broken ankle as "The day my life slowed down" or " The day I limited my options within a second". Its a story of accepting that disability has taken over and that everything you do will be a thousand times slower. A frustating life indeed. So what's the difference between the rich and the poor? It may seem that the cripple has it worse off; the poor can choose to earn and not be poor however the cripple can remain a cri...

Birth of the Fiog Blog: A day under the Flame of the Forest Tree
http://fiogblog.blogspot.com/2012/11/a-day-under-flame-of-forest-tree.html
Tuesday, November 27, 2012. A day under the Flame of the Forest Tree. It is 1983 in Kuala Lumpur. Right in the heart of this tropical urban city, the old blends with the new. Buildings with gothic-revival motifs, left behind from the old colonial days of Malaya, stand in the blazing sun next to gray modern block buildings typical of the 70's and 80's. The centre courtyard of the school is a field where small children in brown and orange pinafores play under a gigantic flame tree, the Delonix Regia. The H...

http://fiogblog.blogspot.com/2012/09/plants-again-since-summer-is-ending.html
Tuesday, September 11, 2012. Plants again - since summer is ending (sort of ). Red Robin tomatoes - not as many as I thought it would be. Gloxinia Violacea - the tuber is humongous this year. Wahaca Chilli reincarnation - last year's plant that 'died' and rose again. Sweet William, my first plant - 3 years old and growing strong. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Birth of the Fiog Blog: Balik Kampung
http://fiogblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/balik-kampung.html
Saturday, March 01, 2014. It's always great to go home and the longer one has been away, the more nostalgia one feels when back home. Arrived home with the slight burnt smell of the haze but the skies were clear. Blast of hot air upon exiting the airport into the car park - ah the good ole heat and the familiar feeling of beig home. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). FEEDJIT Live Traffic Feed.

Birth of the Fiog Blog: On being Abroad
http://fiogblog.blogspot.com/2014/01/on-being-abroad.html
Saturday, January 25, 2014. The only press that Malaysia gets in the UK is the negative kind.So the latest is on pigs. The last one was about veggie. A friend of mine lashed out on how she hates it when other people say Malaysia is nowadays unsafe. Not that it's untrue but *ding* there's no smoke fire. Crime and the vicious kind has gone up. But who can blame them (those people) when all they hear are the negativities of what's happening back home. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Three Oh Eight Eight.

Birth of the Fiog Blog: Brexit
http://fiogblog.blogspot.com/2016/06/brexit.html
Friday, June 24, 2016. It was a dark stormy day in London just like the EU referendum poll which ended at 10pm tonight. Woke up at 6.30am to the surprising result that the British People have voted to Brexit. The people have spoken . And the people are not where the country's coffers are (London) nor the Scottish (Which hate the English) but in middle-class-middle of England. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Birth of the Fiog Blog: Costume, mostume
http://fiogblog.blogspot.com/2014/07/costume-mostume.html
Tuesday, July 22, 2014. Last weekend saw a very old 1982 TV movie of Ivanhoe on British TV. It has a lot of big names (who looked much younger) i.e. Sam Neill, John Rhys Davies etc. but the first thing that struck me wasn't the familiar faces but the awfully cheap costume props. Compared to something like the Game of Thrones in this day and age. Its hard to take a story seriously when your crown looks like something out of a cereal box, even if your script is super good.

Birth of the Fiog Blog: 34th London Marathon 2014
http://fiogblog.blogspot.com/2014/04/34th-london-marathon-2014.html
Monday, April 14, 2014. 34th London Marathon 2014. This year's London Marathon is a little special as it will be the last we witness it right outside our home - a little sad but bittersweet. Ethiopia's Tirunesh Dibaba 02:20:35. Gabrial Macchi from Portugal in the T11-T12 Category 02:40:24. The atmosphere was fantastic and I felt nostalgic about my own marathon experiences. I think I'll try again for the marathon and specifically for London as it has such great crowd support. And Aberu Kebede 02:23:21.

Birth of the Fiog Blog: Diary of a Broken Ankle - Day 20
http://fiogblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/diary-of-broken-ankle-day-20.html
Friday, August 31, 2012. Diary of a Broken Ankle - Day 20. Went to the fracture clinic again for another x-ray. Consultant said it was 'looking good' with no displacements. Fortunately he told me to come back not next week but in 3 weeks time. Said that if the ankle was looking good I could even walk without an aircast boot. Its been quite costly going to the hospital every week with a minicab - total of GBP120 spent just going back and forth from the hospital. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Hau...
