this blog will be on hiatus for about a week or so.because fanfan has injured her left arm so she cant type properly and has to type with one hand. meh. this
sucks. now i cant even get online cos id probably take forever to reply people.
went rollerblading with justine, meryl and two of justine's colleagues earlier when the accident happened. there was barely any breaks for the rollerblade so when i attempted to break, i slipped backwards. and my natural instinct was to support myself with my hand, palms down. then taah-daah! boom bahh baamm! a really bad fall. cos i knew my palm landed on the ground even before my ass. so you can imagine all the weight falling on one poor hand. initially it wasnt that painful. but within a short period of time, it started swelling up (and trust me, its damn sick) because there was internal bleeding. so i called my mom and cabbed down to mount elizabeth hospital immediately. (sorry pek and meryl! brought some inconvenience to you girls toooo!) had an xray and well, thankfully it wasnt as bad as i had expected.
honestly, i thought i dislocated my hand cos i couldnt see one bone, when i compared with my other hand. (you can imagine how bad the swell is) my mom couldnt see it either and she didnt dare to try pressing it cos i was already in pain. even as im typing this shit, my hand is hurting. pfft. how annoying. but i guess i should still be thankful cos its just internal bleeding, torn ligament, and maybe a crack in my bone. doctor couldnt tell from the xray cos of the swell, but he thinks there might be a crack there. unless im really that lucky. yeahs.
come to think of it, this is like the third time i hurt my limbs. first time was because i was on the skateskooter near the pool and did a stunt where a puddle of water was. dont ask me why im so blind, i just didnt see it. and so i skidded like 2 metres away? mmhmms. then a year later, i was running, tripped and fractured the exact same spot. and third time would be this. equipments with wheels, i should never touch ever again. (yeah right, bet id go blading again once ive recovered) but speaking of blading, i really cant blade so well anymore. and thats really very sad. cos of that fall, i didnt even dare pass a hump. when i could go down really steep slopes last time. really quite sad. its like all your efforts went down the drain.
plus, this charis chow had to call me and ask me out for dinner tonight. :( i really wanna meet them girls (those who came back from aussie), but just look at the state im in man. cant even go out with jon, colin and ting, and cant go for thanksgiving service either. geezus. but but but! im really happy too cos this means i wont have to play the stupid games for the orientation at tp next thursday and friday! :D
okay denise, look at the bright side.
- didnt get hurt that badly + hurt left hand not right, so i shall be thankful.
- a new learning experience - how to survive even with one hand alone (and i swear its not as easy as i thought. the most difficult part is when youre gonna bathe!), remember to check the breaks of the rollerblades before you start rollerblading to reduce the probability of an accident occuring.
- reinforces the importance of money! (can you imagine how the poor would survive when such things happen? they probably have to wait for hours before they can be attended to by some doctor, because they dont have enough money to visit a specialist) money is really important in this competitive society.
i want to be rich. :)
