Oops, I did it again!!

Another emergency room visitation. Well, I'm not proud to say it isn't my first time. It happened in KL, Shanghai, Taipei and now in Bangsar. I've to admit I am highly accident prone.

I was walking under the bright sun towards Telawi and suddenly my vision blackout. I hurried towards Joyce as I see her walking from across the road. The next thing I know, I got knocked down and injured my head.
Joyce saw me stumbled to the pavement and thought I was making it dramatic entrance as the bag I was holding was quite heavy. Then she came over to hold me and saw blood on my hand. When she lift up my head, all she see was just blood dripping all over.
For 5 minutes, she was looking for my handphone and she got a panic attack herself. I was mourning..Pain..Dizzy...In my head, I was thinking... send me to the clinic or hospital. But I can't say it out loud.

Then some bystanders cameover and offered to send us to the clinic. The clinic doctor reckon I should get my wound stitched up. Luckily, Joyce was around to look after me and settle my errands while waiting for M to come send me to the hospital.
Half an hour later, M arrived and succesfully sent me to Pantai Bangsar after a few wrong turnings. Come on, how can you trust a injured woman's instinct and directions?

As we entered the Emergency Room, the nurses quickly hurried me into the minor surgery room. I was pale and my eyes were pretty swollen due to excessive crying. It is very very very painful.
Later, Renee arrived. Funny is..my aura transfered to M too. He left his car key locked inside the boot. Hahaha..Bryan has to send him back to get the keys.
While waiting for the examination. Joyce and Renee tried to cheer me up and pulled off some rather silly yet ridiculous stunts. I still hope there weren't any CCTV in the surgery room. Well, we had a good laugh. And the best thing is, I get to eat whatever I want, and BaskinRobbins is just around the corner. Joyce got me 3 scoops of ice cream for my breakfast! YEAY...I just couldn't get my hands off it until the nurse urged me to the X-ray room to check my skull. People around were looking at my weirdly as I wheeled through the hall. Maybe because of my silly smile and the ice cream in an emergency room just doesn't fit. Then, we had a picnic acompannied with 1901 hotdogs and Starbucks coffee in the surgery room before the nurse shooed them out off the 'sterile room'. I was given exception to eat in the steriled room with the 'serangan mata bersinar-sinar'/ 'puss-a-boots' big round eyes attack!

I still don't get it, why people just like to play with the wheel chair. Renee started first then M, Bryan was waiting for the chance. He immediately lay his butt on it then moment M got up. Joyce initially find no fun in it then later, she joined the herd.
After a few hours, the doctor arrived to stitch my wound. And gave me a Anti Tetanus jab. Although the doctor tried to calm me and make it as less painful than it already is but still, it was a very awful procedure.
Funny is, the doctor ran out of topic to talk about and I know I need something to divert my attention from the pain during the surgery. So, I started questioning him about his career as a surgeon. And we talked about the doctors in Nip/Tuck (one of my fav drama). He claims it only happen in dramas. Being a doctor is silly, his life is all about the patients, none left for himself.
After 15 minutes, I couldn't bear the pain anymore, I was laughing and talking in high pitch tone. I can literally feel the hook poking through my flesh and thread pulling through. 20 minutes in there was really tiring. I just wanna get home asap and rest.

Now back at home, my only aid to pain is sleeping. Remember, I am allergy to ALL pills form of painkillers. My daily menu is just one color...White.
  • Podridge.
  • Fish.
  • Vitagen LB flavor.

Mum says I need more protein to speed up the recovery. I cancelled a lot of things due to this accident. So, I'll be good and lock myself up at home to lower my risk of infection and more injuries.

Hold on to your manners

I've been sitting here at the lobby for about 1 hour now, and I saw eight arguements between the security guards and the residents. Well, I am a regular too.
Almost every other single person that passes by the guard has a problem.
Most cases are residents passes the security to the mall for a quick while but are not allowed to go back into the apartments without a valid ID. Furthermore, some have difficulties communicating with each other as the guards has low level of literacy. Thus, the people get frustrated and just walked off.
Worst still, some residents who are apparently close to the guards get to walk in and out freely without being checked . Therefore, it raises the anger of the person who got blocked where else he/she just walk through the security 10 minutes ago. It isn't fair!
There is one who the resident moved the chair from the pool over to the shade but got yelled at for doing so. Apparently, we can't move the portable chairs around even if it is just like less than 5 metres away.
Words like 'bodoh', 'tak faham bahasa' and ... are heard at the lobby. A guy apparently the superior scolding the guards. It is not fine to unabashedly insult someone’s nationality, appearance, or vocation in the public.
If only the guards would approach the residents with a better manner/ being polite. Residents wouldn't get mad so easily.
But overall, it is a good thing that the security here is tight.
