Sorry about the picture quality. I used my webcam to take this pic because my digital camera ran out of batteries .
You guys are either pack rats or simply in lost of space to put your stuff but that's quite the norm with baddy enthusiasts, no?

Kwun you are gross, can't people tell it's your bag from the smell, from at least 10 metres away, further if they are downwind? ;P PS Did you buy a new phone in the meantime?
Tsk! Tsk! Yonexfanatic! Don't you know me well enough by now to know that I would never steal your wallet Heck! I bet that I have more crisp dollar notes in my wallet than yours. Jack you?! I got more 'hardware' in my bag than you, so shouldn't I be more worried about being jacked?

Voltaren, eh? Heavy stuff -- that's a synthetic morphine pain killer if I recall correctly. I hope you're not driving to your badminton sessions...
How does Voltaren combat inflammation? Voltaren is not really a morphine pain killer product. Its active ingredient is Diclofenac which is part of the NSAID family. In brief, it inhibits the release of the agent causing inflammation at the area affected. By the way, emulgel is quite expensive, i use ketoprofen also a NSAID, costing 4-5 times cheaper. NSAID is THE solution for sprained ankle and other inflammation if u want fast effect. Do not used ointment or menthol rubbing, it does not reduce the inflammation. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are very well tolerated, widely used and are often the initial therapy for common inflammation, such as that which follows a muscle strain or sprain. They can also be used to treat a high fever. They are called nonsteroidal because they are not steroids, which treat inflammation by suppressing the immune system (inflammation is one of the body's healing responses to trauma). Instead, all NSAIDs treat inflammation in a way similar to the mechanism of aspirin, the most well known and oldest member of the class. How They Work NSAID drugs mainly inhibit the body's ability to synthesize prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are a family of hormone-like chemicals, some of which are made in response to cell injury. The common mechanism of action for all NSAIDs is the inhibition of the enzyme cyclooxgenase (COX). COX is necessary in the fomation of prostaglandins. This enzyme actually has two known forms, COX-1 which protects the stomach lining and intestine, and COX-2 that is involved in making the prostaglandins that are important in the process of inflammation.
