My $180 knee brace

Hello all,

Hey 01, how did you feel after the test?

Anyway, let's set our sights further (and higher) for the coming term test and do well for it.

Wanna show a pic of my knee brace which was fitted by an orthotist (a person who specializes in fittings / braces for orthopedic referral outpatients like me). This thing isn't anything much but it costs me more than $180. But it's good for sports too. Prevents the inward or outward twisting of the lower leg and hence, help support the ligament for recovery and prevent repeat injuries.

So, there's this new job I learned about today: Orthotist. Don't confuse with the Orthodontist though.

HUGE DISCOVERY! Online shops in the US sell this same thing for only USD82. Slightly over SGD100? Sigh. Cheated.
