My ankle hurts...

Monday, January 10, 2005

Adehhh... My ankle hurts... After a few years of being able to avoid spraining it while playing basketball, it finally happened again. Another ankle sprain... I got it, as usual, while playing basketball this afternoon. Actually it was my fault. I shouldn't have gone for the rebound with Rajan, as he's tall enough to get the ball. Consequently, I banged into him and my right ankle terple'ot (for lack of a better word... hehehe).

It was quite painful initially, but shortly after that, the pain subsided somewhat. But I know that will be just a short reprieve, and as I expected, the pain has now reemerged. Even ada bengkak sikit. Hopefully by tomorrow afternoon it will have subsided, as I plan to play basketball again tomorrow. I'm currently on form, so it would be a waste to not use it to my advantage! But somehow, I think I can expect the worst pain to come tomorrow morning, just after I wake up in the morning. Sure sakit gile esok pagi nih. If tomorrow the pain still hasn't subsided, I'll consider buying an ankle strap.

Can somebody please urut my ankle so that it'll cure quickly? :) Any masseurs out there?

Back to other matters...

Based on your comments on the previous post, I can basically summarise them to be as follows. It is normal for guys to be closer to girls, as girls are more sensitive and open-minded, where they can easily share many things with guys. I totally agree with this. As a result, the guy will feel that he means a lot to the girl, and therein starts the friendship. Plus, being close to girls proves the guy's heterosexuality! (this comment attributed to abu... ;))

But, whether the friendship remains as just friends, depends on how the guy would like the friendship to develop. If the guy wants to turn that girl friend he has into a girlfriend (i.e. be romantically involved), he can tease and flirt her. But if he has no intention of creating a romantic relationship, it is best that the guy refrains from doing all that, so as to avoid giving the girl a wrong idea.

"Remember not to pour any promises"? Why is that Lutfi? That is especially crucial when you're in a romantic relationship (believe me, I know, since I got first-hand experience with that problem...), but in a friendship, I don't think any promises are made. Maybe.

But, no matter whether the relationship is romance-oriented, or just pure friendship, both the guy and girl should set certain boundaries so as to avoid untoward incidents from occurring. Kena jaga2. Our gaze. Our pergaulan. All must be taken into consideration. Both guy and girl should not overstep these boundaries set by Islam.

FYI, I agree with all your opinions. They are, when taken together, correct in every single aspect. They each complement one another. The friendships I currently have, I have no intention of converting any of them to a romantic one, but one day, when I intend to do that, I'll take all your suggestions into consideration.

Thanks guys! And doakan that my relationships (both friendships and romantic relationship) will work out as best it can. :) And also my ankle, don't forget to doa for my poor, poor ankle too okay?!!
