what a day by the sea side
whoa. what a day by the seaside indeed.
today would be one of the top few in my eventful days of my life.. haha that's never good.
let me recount the entire story here..
it started like this, last night, nat asked me to go wakeboarding in the morning..
so at first i was like.. ugh oh man. i cant. i've got school ! but then.. i remembered that it was friday today.
school on fridays are really quite a waste of time, i have 6 out of 8 periods free !!
so i think to myself ... hMM! i can go for the two classes, then leave !
already illegal... but not so bad.
so anyway i wake up with a bounce this morning, then i went to school, spent the first two periods finishing up econs homework while the rest played cards.
and then oh-my-goodness i realide that my two periods of class end too late to go wakeboarding ! so the bad boy in me goes: aiyah ! nevermind la.. dont shake your head at me !! im sure you know what it's like..
here's where it starts .. so it just so happens that a few teachers had gone out for a while to do dunno what.. and i walked straight into them on the way out. not good. i turned on my heel and walked in the other direction.
the worst part ? my history teacher was among them. i was skipping history. not good.
then i just ran off and cabbed to nat's place, picked her and her sister up, then went to east coast park..
half way to east coast, i get a message saying, "ronsmith saw you leaving school. you're dead meat." oh mamamia. definitely not good..
so anyway.. i went to wakeboard.
wakeboarding was fun of course .. first time cable skiing !
so anyway.. me being me. tried to do some trick.,
me being me didnt do the trick properly..
me being me.. accident prone man that i am, got flung face forward, flew a bit(i think) got planted in the water face first, and my legs snapped forward and the board smacked me right in the back of my head (a little to the right)
and cos i was face forward and the board still on my feet, i was lying face down in the water.. managed to struggle right way up, kicked the board off. and felt my head.
i looked at my hand praying there wouldnt be blood. but there was blood running down my arm already. whoa mama.
so i shouted HELPP !! nothing .. i peered towards the control station. nothing..
HELP ! finally i see some movement. a jet ski flew over, and some dude ran over as i tried to clamber out of the lake, one hand still on my head, blood still flowing down my arm.
then i walked back to the control station, and some dude helped me wash it and put a nice bandage around my head. looked really sexy man.. he said it wasnt that bad. just a small cut, but cos it was on my head so there's a lot of blood.. so i was like okay. haha. then we (me, nat, mel and lester) cabbed to the nearest hospital, East Shore Hospital.
so yeah the doctors were all like. ok la it's not so bad. small cut only. go get an x ray. hmmm.
so i waited.. and waited.. and waited.. then got an xray !
then i waited.. and waited.. and waited. and me and nat just sat around for an hour talking. which was quite fun actually. haha. then finally went to get my stitches. and my sister left work and came down. thanks lea !
and then like nat was saying stuff like. i dont see why you need stitches ! it's so small ! haha. but she was really nice and comforting. she looked like she was suffering more than me. haha.
and then after it gets all stitched up. nat goes.. ok i lied. it's actually really quite bad. haha. everyone lied to me ! saying it was nothing much and all. haha but thanks everyone (: i felt so loved. haha if you want a more pictorial and less reading summary. go to http://www.xanga.com/nattaratatat haha.
thanks especially to nat and lea (:
and me ? dont worry (if you were) im fine. i always will be. haha
