what a piggish world it is//*

Ahhhhhhhhhh... the first post of Year 2005!

Judith has been complaining that my blog is so boring and that nobody's tagging! Yep, it has been 14 days since I last blogged! Everyone has also been bugging me to update! Hmmm... school has started and these people are still so free to blog, check-out other people's blogs, post tags and chat online?? NO HOMEWORK arhh??

Aiyah... how to blog? I was really so 'suay' to fall and injure my left hand on New Year's eve night. I'm a leftie you know and I need my left hand to do everything and anything! As the pain was unbearable, I went to the Chinese sinseh the next morning but he told me to get an x-ray done. Phew!! I was very relieved when the A&E doctor told me I did not fracture my arm... I certainly don't want to end up in a cast, like poor Jonathan! The good doctor said I had probably torn some ligaments and muscles when I stretched out my hand to break the fall. Then I felt even more pain when I had to part with 70 hard-earned dollars for the x-rays & some panadol tablets!

AND did I mention that the radiographer was going to take x-rays of my right hand instead of the injured left hand?? The man at the x-ray reception counter had incorrectly printed out 'right hand' on the job request form!! #@^!)@&+~ What if a patient is already under anaesthesia in the operating theatre?? Who will answer to this unfortunate patient if the surgeon 'chops' off the wrong organ or limb??

It's been 2 weeks, but the arm & shoulder still hurt. I can't lift my hand up to a horizontal position without the support of the right hand! I can't stretch it high up above my head yet! Now I know how handicapped people feel... it's totally frustrating because you feel so helpless and useless!

Hah... now I know those stories about the one-armed swordsman are all bullshit! I think these so-called pugilistic superheroes are truly non-existent!! Louis Cha is definitely a fantastic story-writer with loads of creative juices and tons of crap!!
