I really learned my lesson today...

My mother has always nagged at me to be careful while crossing the highway when I'm on my way home every Friday. She always said that Malaysian drivers are an inconsiderate bunch of moronish oafs. They have no regard for pedestrians...so I have to be careful when I cross the road.

ESPECIALLY at the bend at a cross junction.

It happened this afternoon. I just got off from the INTI bus after lecture.
I saw the truck that was very far away. It WAS very very far.
I knew that I can make it in time if I just ran the 2 meters to safety...but I just HAD to fall down.

Thank God that I managed to stop myself from hitting my face and my laptop. Yeah my first thought was,"Save Laptop!!!!!"
Luckily I scrambled over the other side of the road before the truck passed by...PHEW!!

I was terrified to death.

Hell, the wounds STING!!! At first, I thought there would only be some skin scraped off...
So, I remained sprawled at the side of the road for a minute more or so...I didn't move until this Chinese guy got off from a bus to ask me if I needed to see a doctor. Now that's a kind soul!

It was then it registered to my numb brain..."Bloody hell! There's blood!"


Yeah, my right hand has a lot of the skin scraped off and flesh cut, my right arm was scratched from the upper arm to just below the elbow, bruises on my right side, right thigh, left calf, right knee, left thigh and some deep lacerations on my right knee.

Do you know what I was worried then? "Shoot, my favourite pants is torn"

When I safely crossed the highway and already near the bus stop opposite Summit, I was thinking, "I have to borrow somebody's washroom...Mum's gonna freak out with all this blood flowing".

IT STINGS

I even wonder at myself...how did I walk all the way home from Summit? It was a painful 40-minute walk...








Those are the wounds after I cleaned them...they don't look too bad right...?

But, HELL! They HURT! Took me over an hour to get all the blood off.
They loook a lot worse up close. Now they look REALLY worse because it's surrounded in purple.
Now, my only concern is how am I going to get anything done with only one hand? What's more it's my LEFT hand and I'm right-handed. This is annoying.

Trust me guys, if your mum ever nags you - LISTEN.

AND

REMEMBER.
