Think of me
think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me,
once in a while
please promise me you'll try.

When you find that once again,
you long to take your heart back and be free
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thoughtfor me

We never said
our lovewas evergreen,
or as unchangingas the sea
but if you can still remember
stop and thinkof me . . .

Think of all the things
we've shared and seen
don't think about the things
which might have been

Think of me,
think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me,
trying too hard
to put you from my mind.

Recall those days
look back on all those times
think of the things we'll never do
there will never be a day
when I won't thinkof you . .

We never said
our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea
but please promise me,
that sometimes
you will think of me!

to all those out there..
who doesn't really know what a physio is...
there are a few things u should know...
before u say something that can potentially upset a physio...

1) we are not masseurs...thus, we do not give massages (unless u're a close friend, spouse, bf/gf, parents...i.e. someone special)
2) we do more than teach crutches and tape ankles
3) physio courses teach more than "moving the limbs", "do exercise", "massage"...we pay alot to learn alot
4) do not disregard the contribution we make to helping a patient get better.
5) do not assume that you know what a physio does, only to end up saying things leading to point 1, 2, 3 and 4
6) while we are happy to give u some general advice, we do not have superhuman powers and can't diagnose your 'painful knee' problem over dinner/coffee.
7) exercise is a significant part of physio, so don't complain to us that your physio is not working when you are not doing your home exercises.

okie, so far can only think of so many..
but let me tell u..
recently i've been getting alot of the above mentioned comments..
and it makes me very IRRITATED!!
if you dunno, DUN ASSUME!!
*growl*
the next time someone comes close to asking me stupid questions like "eh, my back pain. how ah?", "so, all u do is walk patients ah? so easy?" and "do exercise? i got no time, u just massage and make it better lah"
be prepared to face a very very angry Gretel..
and for some very very sarcastic remarks....
or a very very long ranting session...

which brings me to another point..
i am so fed-up with the inaccuracy of 'physiotherapy' in drama serials..
please lor,
no hospital will allow only the patient's relative/friend/teacher to supervise a spinal cord injured patient at the parallel bars...
and i am very irritated with how the characters in the show use crutches wrongly...
i mean..
if they can research on how the operating theatre is supposed to be set up...
then cannot do a teeny bit of research on the actual workings of physio departments?!?!?!
PISSED OFF lah!!

my mum has been getting alot of "physio not like that one lah" and "crutches wrong already!" when i watch TV with her...
i am half tempted to write a letter to mediacorp and get them to PLEASE ACCURATELY REFLECT WHAT A PHYSIO DOES!!

i got alot of pent up anger...
and only managed to vent abt 30% out with the CAPS and !!!!

ppppffffffttttttt

i need sleep...
and...
i want a big big stuffed toy to hug!

天使 - 五月天

你就是我的天使 保护著我的天使

从此我再没有忧伤

你就是我的天使 给我快乐的天使

甚至我学会了飞翔

飞过人间的无常 才懂爱才是宝藏

不管世界变得怎么样 只要有你就会是天堂

像孩子依赖著肩膀 像眼泪依赖著脸庞

你就像天使一样 给我依赖给我力量

像诗人依赖著月亮 像海豚依赖海洋

你是天使 你是天使 你是我最初和最后的天堂

我是谁的天使？

我给谁依赖着？我在守护谁？

在谁的眼里，我是天使？在谁的眼里，我是恶魔？

我们的天使，默默地在守护我们。

不要把眼光放得太远。

天使，好像远在天边，却其实是近在眼前。

你生命中的天使，不只是呵护着你的他/她。

我们都有自己的天使，而我们也常常忘了向天使说声“谢谢！”

而我今天，就是要对一直支持我，鼓励我，照顾我，陪伴我，开导我的天使们，

说“谢谢！”
