A Little Too Much
Repetitive Stress Syndrome. Yes, doing the same thing over and over again can be hazardous to your life. Mouse users beware of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Too much tennis, Tennis Elbow. Constant staring at computer screens-- Dry Eye Syndrome. Spend too many hours playing MMORPGs you run the risk of No Social Life syndrome. For those who know me, my eyes are already aged from all the hours in front of the CRT or LCD. Need to carry around my little bottle of artifical tears in case of attacks of burning sensation in my eyes (kinda like the GhostRider's stare). To make things worse, I have become the casualty of yet another kind of repetitive action. Guess where....
Too get things out of the way, let me state here that it's not something down south. Blek.
I know everyone's disappointed, but I hurt my left thumb this time. The base of the thumb hurts. I was wondering how I had hurt it, then It came to me-- too much sms-ing. When I sms, I hold the phone in my left hand and just let the thumb do all the work. On average, I send more than 15 sms a day and I my hands are always itchy, going through past messages, keeping stuff that's sweet and dumping the "hi, bye" variants. KH has asked me to rest it (he had a case of SMS Thumb not long ago too!), but it's kind of difficult reconditioning yourself to using another hand. But I'm ambidextrous when it comes to the "other kind of repetitive action". :P.
Your body breaks down and complains when you subject it to repetitive tasks. So I'm wondering if our routine of "Work, Eat, Sleep. More Work" would one day render our souls to break down. Time to give things a short rest before we finally go for the "long rest".

I enjoy reading your blogs. Keep up the good work.
btw.. u should buy a mini keyboard and plug into ur handphone :p
Kinda reminds me of some TV ad about these folks with heavily bandaged fingers due to too much SMS-ing. Can't remember if it was some Astro contest or Maxis or Hotlink. Hmm...
I think your friends really know you well to know what kind of "other" repetitive action that you do. Haha.
Same's true for everything else - which is why we needs/loves a good long holiday (which we haven't had yet).
also, another one of those sms ad was that scene with the doctor, tranny nurse, patient in bed, and parents one, chanting "text text text!" in the end.
u should definitely lighten the load of texting with that ambidextrous capabilities of yours.
Still not OK yet ar? ^^
Ban: Good idea. Never thought of that LOL
I thought you very clever liao?
@Imeku:
Thanks.
@Pikey:
It is always "something" else with me. Mini keyboard? Haha.
@Ban:
THAT doesn't quite require any special ambidextrous abilities.
@Venge:
