Weee....fun!!!

Having 6 periods of physics is enough to kill. Actually it would if I paid full attention in class but when u’re in a closed room, with air-conditioning and a boleh-makan bench, it’s quite impossible to resist drooling over the table. But the second my head touches the table; looney will go “Wooi Hong, Don’t sleep!” And she will then go on for a minute with some nagging which will be followed up by some smart remarks which in turn will generate either another minute of nagging or the class to burst in laughter.
But that’s insignificant really. What is, is when we’re running (metaphorically) back to class to embrace the tenderness of our chicken rice which was calling out to us so badly since 1100. As we’re descending down the stairs, Chai had that sudden urge that often is the spark of a stupid action to slide down the railing. Hmmm, what’s so dangerous? He might just fall and break his neck or smth rite? Nthg serious, really. And I digress. So, while he was giving his butt a massage, Nicks apparently too had a sudden urge that often is the spark to do smth stupid to give him a lil boost. Maybe he thought that giving him a lil extra speed would generate extra excitement for him.
Sometimes, no harm is done when dumb actions are enacted. Sometimes, but not today! Chai fell, and he fell gracefully with his whole body spread over the staircase. I was laughing, and so was aaron. That came to an abrupt end when we saw his wrist. It wasn’t normal. The part of his radius bone near the carpal bone (wrist) was protruding slightly, no, a lot, no, slightly. Okay it was protruding out. It wasn’t pretty but we thought it to be just a dislocation. So we decided to get my car which was in the carpark behind the form 4 block but we couldn’t find the guard to get the gate open. Thankfully, Khai zen parked his car near the form 6 block and we took his car to send Chai to the hospital.
We wanted to send him to tung shin(nearest hosp) but apparently it is a private hosp. and we will hv to pay to admit him there. So we detoured to HUKM in BTR with aaron leading the way. I’ve nvr been to HUKM b4 less so about going there. So we got him registered and the 2 helpers was cracking jokes bout how it happened. Anyway, he got reeled into the emergency ward and nicks followed him in.
We waited for about 20 mins b4 heading to the cafeteria with athur’s sis who kzen contacted. Apparently chai was just beginning to get his X-ray when arthur’s sis went in to check on him on our behalf. He still had to have his ‘dislocation’ corrected and then plastered were he will then undergo another X-ray. After bout 15 mins in the café, we went back to the waiting area to await the arrival of Chai’s mom. She was very grateful that we sent him there and thanked us. We failed to mention that one of us was the culprit to her son’s misery and I wonder if well get the same treatment if we did? I think we would, for parents are such that they don’t care how it happened just so that it did and they will do everything in their power to relief as much as possible the pain of their child.
Apparently our assumptions were wrong. It wasn’t a dislocation. In fact, he broke 2 bones on his wrist and will have to undergo surgery. His mom moved him to tung shin hosp. which I don’t know why for HUKM looks way much better.
All I can say is that it was a freak accident. It looked like nthg to me but in fact was more serious than it looks. No1 is to be blamed but CHAI AND NICKS (Yes, nicks, feel bad!!) At least this will teach all of us a lesson to not push when some1’s sliding down the railing or maybe….to not slide down railings at all? Let’s all wish Chai a speedy recovery so that he can slide down railings soon!! Cheers!
