An Event That I will NEVER EVER Forget!!!!

Hi hi,

Calvin's here again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will tell you what I will NEVER forget.... On 11 September 2007, I was cycling happily in the park of my condominium on my two-wheeled bicycle........ On this faithful day, there was construction works going on. When I cycled CLOSER and CLOSER to the construction work site, I did not realised that I was on soft, green grass...... And I was SO lucky to have cycled into quite a deep but small hole.. As I was cycling slowly, my bike's front wheel plunged into the hole.... As I fell down, my left hand reached to the ground for support. Little did I know that there was a RUSTY METAL ROD. And it poked into my left hand. It became numb on the spot! I did not feel any pain when the rusty metal rod poked into my hand! I did realise it until I tried to pull my hand out!!!! "OOOUUUCCCHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Almost EVERYBODY in the park were apalled! I was so scared that I accidentally pulled out my left hand. " AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Then at that time I remembered that my parents were not at home.... " Oh NO!!!!!!!!!!!! Who's gonna bring me to the hospital????????" No one was in the park by then..... So I decided to walk to a clinic nearby.... It took me 30 whole minutes!!!! When I went there, I was allowed to go in straight away as it was an emergency. After the consultation, I went back home. The next day, I saw a swell just below the injured place. My parents took me to a chinese clinic where the doctor gave me a few pokes of the acupunture needles. I did not scream. After a few days, the swell persisted. I went to KK women's and children's hospital. I was admitted IMMEDIATELY.

The day after the next, I had a morning operation. I had ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD FOR THE PREVIOUS DAY..... NOT EVEN WATER!!!! I only could rely on fluids to fill up my stomach. As I was wheeled into the OT(Operating Theatre, if you guys don't know) there was a feeling of loneiness. I felt as if NO ONE could ever accompany me for the rest of my LIFE!!!!! When I woke up approximately half a day later, (I slept at 8am and woke up at 8pm) I was back in the ward and saw my dinner ready on the table for me. I also saw my aunties. I asked them," Why are you in the operating theatre?" They laughed. I was still half-awake when I said that sentence of mine.... They replied," Calvin, you're in WARD 33," OOPS!!!!! I was embarrassed. 3 days later, I was discharged. I did not touch my bicycle until 28 April 2009. I could not maintian my balance and had to learn all over again. Finally, on 16 July 2009, I learnt how to ride again and now, every Saturday and Sunday, I go down to the Woodbridge Institute of Mental Health to cycle. I think I am becoming famous by the week. Every time I pass by the people suffering from a mental illness, they will wave to me!! Ok, I got to go, BYE BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
