had already published the previous post and was wondering sth was missing. and i realised is this: the manys and manys of people who extended their well-wishes. sometimes (or most of the times for the really suay peoples), shit happens. and the only thing that is certain regardless of who you are, shit still happens. shit doesn't look at your face one day and decides you are not worthy enough to be shitted on. so, shit is fair.
however, bad things dun always come alone. it comes in a package. it comes along with an accessory. and that accessory is sometimes not so obvious. but if you do notice the accessory package that comes with it, the bad things things may not seem too bad after all. one of these 'accessories', will be the well-wishes of your friends and relatives. that, i'd prefer to see it more as a pseudo-accessory. becomes good things are never too small. no matter how loner you thot you were, you'd be surprised at how many ppl will come forward and ask you a simple, yet profound question of great significance: how are you. it makes a 'blind' person 'see' things in a whole new perspective.
honestly man, that morning b4 i went to sch on fri, i felt really helpless as i was alone and my parents would only be back till this sunday and so i had to depend on myself to survive. my RE was hurting real bad back then and i could not open my left eye for more than 5 seconds either. that made me feel vulnerable. i'd rather stayed at home but i knew i had to step out of the door and at least go for prac and let the lecturers help me check my eye. i was really on the verge of breaking down. but with all the subsequent well-wishes and anaestetics and bandage CL and reassurances from dr Sachins and Anna yeo, i'm finding myself at a better capacity to pull thru these turmoils.
so to all those dwarves and elves and humans and halflings and wizards and even orcs out there, you know who you are. thanks for just asking how am i. just to show my appreciation, i'd like to rmb these ppl who have come to know my condition and expressed their concern: ws, feilou, xiong-ge, bandrew, xt, qh, carl jung, hui, lingz, partner, ms yeo (who laid down her tons of work to accompany me dat day at ah), burden chua, kiat wee (for asking me if i could still run for poly 50), raymond geh, haishan, paul, small des, aikleng (for 80% laughing over the phone, and only 20% really asking how was i), layhoon, dr zhu (for asking me why i came to her lecture only when she finished... well ok, she din know i nubshitted my own eyes den...), cheri, the nurses at ah (for asking: are you the harry potter guy?), chris (for telling anna yeo abt me after he heard it from xt), jess (who just msn-ed me b4 i was to publish this post), szeyee and many others who had (and i had forgotten) and who are to come. i thank God for all of 'em.
sure to hear another genre of 'concern' when my folks come back from korea this sunday. any good places to buy earplugs anyone?
