Silly Me Thumb

What an eventful way to start off the Chinese New Year. I was using a small knife to cut some plastic strap yesterday when the knife slipped and went straight past my thumb. The wound was more than an inch long and probably a few millimeters deep.

As a result, I needed 4 stitches, and a huge bandage over it. The doc said I was lucky not to have hit my tendons as that would mean sending me to the hospital instead of getting it done at the local clinic.

There goes my badminton sessions for at least a few weeks. I’ll probably take a few days off as well because it hurts to type.

Great excuse to lay back and be a couch potato at least for a few more days.

Hopefully by the weekend, it’s ok enough for at least some typing and what nots.

To those of you who celebrated Chinese New Year, a belated wish for all of you!

    Ouch! Thankfully it wasn’t all the way through…lesson learned…sharp things can hurt. Since you can’t type very well maybe it’s time to cross over to video…

    Hi Melvin,

    Hope you poor little thumb get well soon:)

    It is really nice to meet you at IMC! Im Joey Chua- the gal to happened to listen while you giving advice to Nurul.It is a nice piece of Advice, so I glad by accident I was standing near you.

    After type in your name in Google, only I know you are a famous online marketer. *pls bear with me abit as I am a newbie in Malaysia Internet Marketer circle.

    if Walter suggest you do video, then why dont consider podcast? I can go around listening in my ipod :)

    All the best.

    Regards,
    Joey Chua

    Hi Joey

    It was nice meeting you too. I’m not a really famous marketer, still so much to learn still, but i try to share what I do know.

    As for the video, I’ve tried creating audios but somehow I can’t seem to be able to hold a decent conversation by myself…lol…that’s why I’m hesitant still.

    In any case, my specialty is in niche and blog marketing, and not exatly in the IM niche per se. That’s also one of the reason I don’t focus too much time in this market.

    :-)

    Hey Melvin,

    How you doing? Hmm… sorry to hear that. Hope you get well soon.

    (is it too much good wishing for an injured thumb?) ;-)

    Yo Ed,

    Sorry to hear you had to rush back to PJ. In fact, a friend of mine also passed away at just 30+ of age due to leukemia. And that’s just 4 months after first being diagnosed with it.

    Dude, live life to the fullest and appreciate the little things in life because more often than not, those are the things we most often overlook in the pursuit of wealth.

    Cheers and may 2008 be your best year yet!

    - Melvin
