Casamento da Juca e Dud's

Some news

I have been stupid busy with life and had absolutely no time to write.

Let's see what's new:

My Mom is coming to visit next week. I am very excited to see her and be able to show what our life has been like this year.

Last thursday I turned 30 and had an amazing dinner with Mi on Mt Faber. I was an uneventfull birthday as we are still adapting to the new life and friends. i am pretty sure that if I was in Vancouver, the party would have been HUGE but for this time in life, I think I had the best time I could ask for.

I am operating my knee in 2 weeks on sept, 1st. Next 6 months will probably be one the longest in my life. Lots of physio to come.

2 weeks ago we went to the Night Safari on Singapore Zoo with Kyle and Leigh. It is very touristy but quite an experience where you go inside a cage full of bats and they can fly right by your head. They were HUGE too. Very creepy.




I went sailing again last weekend on foxy lady and got back doing some triming. 2 races and 2 first places. We had winds up to almost 30 knots and had a blast. Today there is a party on the dock after the ragatta and we are thinking about heading there for a beer.

This pic is from Last night on Manuels place before going out to a wine bar. These are some of my good friends here. Manuel (German) and Mimi (India), Kyle and Leigh (Canada) ... something tells me I do not need to say who is who. =)

I will try to find more time and get back to my 1 post a week thing.
Cheers....

Krabi

Yet another trip that I have a bit of a hard time deciding what pictures to post. I will try to do a full report sometime this week.

Krabi is FANTASTIC ! Company was AMAZING. It was PERFECT !

Thank you all involved.

Advice...

"...Be kind to your knees ... You will miss them when they are gone .."

I have been thinking a lot about this song lately. It's actually a poem that was recorded as music and I have heard it so many times. (click here for lyrics)

Life has been a crazy this past 10 days. I did all the possible exams and found out that I have thorn my ACL , the anterior ligament of the knee and damaged my meniscus.

As usually I post a picture, here it is... My ACL !

What this means ? I am now on recovery for quite some time. No more kiting, rockclimbing, windsurfing, sailing or any crazy sports until I recover from the surgery I will have to do in about a month. I should be back into everything by next year hopefully.
:-(

Crazy to think how fragile we are. After all the abuse I put my body through all the time, I take a little fall on soccer and see my knee fall in pieces. Now I am on to 6 months of recovery and a lot of physio.

It's been a bit depressing for me getting used to this idea but it's starting to sink in that it's not THAT bad. Mila has been AMAZING with all the help and support. Maybe I will take her on a date sometime. =)

Anyways, this weekend we are heading to Krabi, Thailand with a bunch of friends from work. I will post pics and a report next week...

Cheers all and remember to take good care of your knees !
