I saw something really…disturbing yesterday. If you are not faint hearted, read on.
I saw a young lady pinned under the front section of an unloaded and detached container truck, on the back wheels of the truck. Thankfully only her left leg was pinned, but her entire limb below the knee was under the entire big wheel. And there was blood. Lots of it. So much blood. The leg was in a very unnatural position. And the lady was in pain, and there were people all standing and staring at the accident scene. Some of my D&D buddies who were with me were quite traumatized by it, and it took them a few hours to get over it. As for me, I wasn’t traumatized, yet I feel sad and helpless. Though I am calm and was in control of myself, what can I do to help the poor lady? I don’t know first aid. The driver, a passer-by, one of my D&D buddies and probably a handful more people have already called the ambulance, why tie up the emergency phone lines? In the strangely long 6 minutes before the ambulance arrived, the police and civil defence personnel came. Only when the Home Team arrived then I felt a bit more lighter.
Sigh, in the end I did what I could do at that time - pray to my patron god and ask Him to bless the poor lady. Really sad thing. Its only six days to Chinese New Year and she runs into such an accident. Then the debate starts - was it the driver’s fault or the lady’s error? I don’t know. Life is precious, and everyone should value them.
Anyway…perhaps I was so much saddened by that incident that I began to think illogically, and act irrationally. Damn. If there was a second chance I wish I had been more worried, more scared of the fact that the person who was involved in that incident could be someone I know and I don’t want to lose that person. Maybe this is also an illogical thought. I don’t know, as usual.
When paths cross, lives change…I think that’s quite true for me…
What with the hype about my video being shown to the year 1s, I think that it wasn’t a good one… I’d say about a B+… still got a few minor details to fix. Anyway the presentation on Friday evening to the staff (including the Director of the School) was…weird? Imagine a room of clapping staff. Anyway I spent alot of my time doing the video - Tuesday came home at 3am, Wednesday stayed up late after the NAPFA test and watch Qian Nu You Hun, and Thursday overnight stay in poly until 5:30am and came home at 6, and slept for an hour or so before I went to school…I feel as if time passed by in a blur. But I feel strangely energized. =) Yee ha!
*sigh*…finally the video has been completed! Whee~….now I can piah CP liaox!
Heh heh, I’m hooked on to Crisis Zone. Went to West Mall to slack around after going to poly to discuss the video i am producing with the Director and Mr Zeng Peng, and played that game there. I think I made progress - $1 to get to the start of “tank” stage of the Plaza…oh well, practice makes perfect. I wanted to buy CD sleeves, but CyberActive’s prices are cut-throat, and Popular’s CD sleeves are not the same as the one I have…I keep forgetting to go to Big Bookshop in Clementi to check out the price per sleeve and compare…worse come to worse I have to buy the CD sleeves at Popular. =( I also saw two MechAssault rookies playing…LOL no comments on them. And a parent scolded her daughter behind me while I was on the escalator. Talk about traditionalistic. LOL.
Oh yeah, I overheard this piece of “interesting” conversation between three Bukit View Sec Sch students - a guy and a girl. She was asking him about how to copy from CD to CD, and the guy replied that she needed two CD-ROM drives to copy from CD to CD. *smirks*
Pretty busy these days, have to shoot video for some parents visit thingy for the polytechnic, along with the final-year project outline submission and C Programming continual practical assignment. I also have to change this website a little bit, but I won’t say what is it - if you see it you will know it =)
