**梅雨,指由冷熱空氣交鋒而成之鋒面雨,在每年春夏交際時於臺灣、日本中南部、韓國南部,以及中國長江中下游地區、四川盆地東部和江淮地區等地形成的持續天陰有雨之自然氣候現象。由於梅雨發生的時段正是江南梅子的成熟期,並且由於長期下雨,導致衣物、食品等容易發霉,因此梅雨又有一個別名:「霉雨」。台灣過去並無「梅雨」一詞,而是自國民政府遷台後所帶來,雖然時間上較早,又與梅子成熟期不完全吻合,但其成因及降雨特性卻與長江梅雨、日本梅雨都相似,所以也採用「梅雨」這個名稱。

Speedy recovery Puntung! ❤️️
Puntung Update:
Today, we breathe a huge sigh of relief after successful surgery on Puntung, one of only two female Sumatran rhinos still alive in Malaysia.
Two molar teeth and one premolar from Puntung's left upper jaw were successfully extracted during an operation that in total lasted two hours and twenty minutes this morning. Severe calcificativets were found on one large molar, which is where bacteria initially accumulated and led to the abscess. The calcification had also loosened two adjacent teeth.
She's now missing three teeth, but the most important thing, is that Puntung is ok. And we are overjoyed that she finally received the treatment that she needed and is now on the road to recovery.
All of us at BORA, are extremely grateful to everyone involved in this operation. Dr Johan Marais and Dr Zoe Glyphis from Saving The Survivors - NPC, Dr Abraham Matthew from the Singapore Zoo, Dr Tum Chinkangsadarn from Bangkok animal dental services, Dr Zainal Zainuddin from Borneo Rhino Alliance, and vets and officials from Sabah Wildlife Department as well as Department of Wildlife and National Parks Peninsular Malaysia. Your efforts have given Puntung a new lease of life.
We want to sincerely thank each of you as well. Your kind donations, spreading of awareness, and words of support, have encouraged us and helped us to save one of the world's most critically endangered animals.
Now comes a period of post operation care which will mean trying to keep Puntung clean, stress-free and under medication.
But being the trooper that she is, we believe Puntung will soon be back on her feet and ready to enjoy herself in her mud wallow. In the mean time, we'll cater to her appetite, which she still has in abundance. Here's the beautiful Puntung enjoying her lunch within two hours of the operation.
It's a good day.
#HopeForPuntung

I learnt a very PAINFUL SCARY lesson...
Got injured at my lower back cause of the one thing i lack discipline on.. my REST! My boyfriend who is one of my biggest pillars of support while my coach isn't physically with me, keeps nagging me on it. He says it's such a waste cause my nutrition and training is alright but my sleep is just pulling me down. Honestly even i'm not sure why...
I can't tell is it because i'm just high strung, i can't sleep, i'm not serious or not discplined. But whatever the reason, i need to fix it..
I have less than a month and half to go, i can't afford anymore mistakes or injuries. This injury gave me a good scare, i was literally in tears the minute i felt the pool. It's still healing but i thank God that it wasn't something as bad as the last injury I had which was around the same area..Caused by nearly the same movements.. the burpees followed by squats (I blame this only cause my quads are tight and I already knew this - so my fault :( )
For the next 40 plus days, making sure i get my much needed sleep. No more playing around. I can't afford it.. It truly is a waste, after all that i'm doing and this one thing will affect the very thing i'm training for.
Side note, i'm so thankful to God for putting his healing hand on me, plus i'm super grateful and blessed that I have the Lifestyle Chiropractic team who attended to my emergency situation immediately. Thank you guys so much, after the adjustment, the cryotherapy, the physio, I was better in a span of a day or two. Of course i'm not gonna do anything crazy, but thankfully I could still workout.

Phew.. I can breathe a sigh of relief now.
