updates!
finally.. back at work after two days.last friday, i was working in the office till 1am. lucky thing, i got keong to accompany me. imagine.. me, all alone in the office in an old-looking shophouse with lotsa pubs downstairs. not forgetting the drunkards who shit and piss everywhere. 17 hours in all and guess what my boss says? "its normal." >.<
saturday morning, i went to hougang point to set up the bone scan and registration booth. then, i went to meet reys at orchard mrt. we went to topshop and she finally managed to get 2 tops. lunch was at cine's food court since we cant smoke at long johns. later, we went to hmv. i bought a top and reys bought 2 skirts. i think its been a long time since i last shopped.
in the late evening, we went to chill at coffee express. she showed me a couple of pictures since afternoon and one of which made my hair stand. have you seen the new ciggy boxes with all the gruesome pictures? she actually took a picture of the foetus covered in blood with her handphone and she showed me, even though i refused to see it. similarly, she squealed at the picture of the guy with neck cancer. gross!
we left at 10+pm, she went to play mahjong at eu's house while i went home.
sunday morning, i went to whitesands just to ensure the smooth progress. then, i met reys at bugis. i was slightly late so i met her at seiyu. she already chose a couple of pressies for ya wen's daughter and we made a choice between the few, made payment and went to the service counter to get it wrapped.
while we were waiting for the pressie to be wrapped, i got a call that totally shocked me. keong was on the other side, taking deep breaths while he stuggled to talk. he got into an accident on the PIE. i was completely lost. i called my bro, he brought me some cash (yes, i broke). reys, my bro and i took a cab to ttsh.
the police was still taking his statement when we were on the way there. weird huh? the injured has to take his statement before he could be brought to the hospital. unless hes unconcious or in a critical condition, will they send the injured to the hospital right away. -_-
it was 5 - 10mins later that he emerged from the ambulance. we waited while the doctors reviewed. after 2 hours or so, they pushed him up to his ward. he could still smile, talk and scold people. *tsk tsk* reys, my bro and i left shortly after his family came.
we took a cab to bugis. reys managed to get her bag. then, we took the train to woodlands. we realised we were at the wrong place when we couldnt locate the block. took a cab to ya wen's place. stayed for awhile before ken gave us a ride to the train station. thanks for the ride! (it was really nice and heartwarming talking to you)
monday morning, i took a cab to ttsh. met lyd, dan, qin, jav and choons at ttsh's foodcourt. we had our coffee before going to the ward. keong was weak, drowsy and groggy. due to the morphine and pure oxygen, he had difficulty remembering everyone's name.
i stayed with him till 9+pm before i took a cab home.
tuesday morning, i took the train to ttsh. it was raining heavily when i came out of the exit to ttsh. had the intention to go novena square to get breakfast for keong but i had to dismiss that idea. i went to the food court to get him breakfast before going to the ward. he was already off the drip, morphine and oxygen. all's well and he has already resumed to his normal self.
his camp mates took this golden opportunity to request for book out. haha. the whole time they were at the ward, the ward was filled with their craps and laughter.
similarly, i stayed till 9+pm before i left with his family. on behalf of keong, thank you all for your concern and for coming down to visit him. he appreciate it alot. he's fine now. resumed to his normal self - talkative, noisy, active and bubbly
P.S. Thank you Grace and Lyddd..!!! Love you so much! beyond words can say.. =D
loves
