Yes, 'tui-ing' will exacerbate the injury. The moral of the story is not to add pressure on the injured spot.

My orthopaedic surgeon friend once advised me not to 'tui' as 'tui-ing' will exacerbate the injury.

Actually, I not professional. Just rub and tui a little here and there and it seems to work. Maybe the smell from the medicated oil/alcohol got some aroma effect. Can walk without limping since I woke up this morning but still experiencing some minor discomfort.

If same car in S'pore, maids will be entrusted to wash the car meticulously. Public car wash, even handwash, for these cars not common here.

Quite 'Siong' if maid do the washing alone. In LOS, it is about THB 120-THB 300 for a normal car wash with vacuum. And it's usually 2-3 person washing the same car. I have membership with a few car wash company so the cost of each wash is around THB 100. In the past, I wash my own but too 'siong'.

he he he old flame? hmmm ???

Now in airport. 45mins to my flight and I'm still in the super long queue for immigration. I'm sure I'll be late. Multi billion dollar airport you get this fucking long line. Unbelievable. Please be warned go early, this fuckup is something new.

They used to install checkpoints for body search @ individual gates. So with 40 gates, they will need 40 checkpoints, and about 4 staff per gate. So you can imagine the massive manpower involved. Now they have decided to move to checkpoints to the front just before you step into the transit hall. That will save them helluva manpower, but it inevitably creates a tight bottleneck.

BTW, you're going to love RoC. Today's papers the new GS 250 Lexus going for $2.4 million TWD.

At Changi, while waiting for a flight I've noticed that sometimes they do a security check on passengers who have just flown in

I find that strange because these passengers must have gone through a security check before arriving at Spore.

It only happens @ Budget Terminal. And these days the FT AETO staff are quite cocky.

There is only so much you can do externally - by rubbing oil to push the blood flow. You still need to take medication to eradicate the internal injury. Go to Chinese sinseh shop and ask for 田七. If they have it in capsule form, it's even better. The internal injury, if not eradicated at the early stage (days after the injury) will evolve and become seasonal.

Happens too at T1. Would like to think this depends on flight origin and some basis (not just random or suka2). And not all airports origin have same level security

After one had checked-in next is to get into the Immigration hall where there are lines. Don't know what the fuck is happening now the line OUTSIDE the hall is like fucking 250m long. Dont use to have any line outside. YES and this is before you get into the hall, more lines. Good hardware fuckup software. This never happen before. Shame on the Thais.

35mins before takeoff I was still outside the immigtration hall maybe 80m to go before entering the messy hall. I decided to get to the aircrew/premium entrance and told the security that I had to hurry and he let me in. 10mins later I was out of there to my gate. Both halls are packed. Unbelievable.

I've never been to the budget terminal. Don't even know how to get there :o

Airasia was smart to stay away from the budget terminal. Flying is already difficult why put up with Spore's worst

Chonburifc is the one to recommend you for Pattaya. LeMans, you went to the right place for Thai massage. Next time try the spa with your partner la. There are a few branches here in Bangkok too.
