i became damn lame today.

no. seriously, i'm lame today. literally

i injured my ankle. *clap*

most likely it's a sprain, but the swelling seems unusually big for a sprain. don't think it's a fracture though...

***

through the sprain, i also saw some very nice sides of people, as well as slightly meaner sides of others. but before i talk more, allow me to say that disappointed as i am with those who were a bit uncaring, i don't blame them, because i myself would probably have done the same thing...

it happened during the one hour break. at the street soccer court. kenneth and i were chasing the ball, then suddenly, ccrraacckk. i suddenly felt like rooney being felled by ferreira in april. i tried to stand up immediately, and thankfully i could. but it was quite painful. once i looked down, i saw this big swollen ankle and then realised that it was mine.

a lot of them came to see if i was alright, esp my classmates (we were playing with some people from other classes). i left the court and sat for a while, but they played on. not that i expected them to stop though. after a while i started walking (more like limping) back to the class bench, and no one helped me back. it was painful, but i don't blame anyone for not walking me back. i'd have done the same thing...

saw tohkey on the way back, he asked what happened (cos i was the only one walking back), told him i sprained my ankle, and he immediately offered to bring me some ice. how could i say no? =P

so i went back and sat at the step just beside the class bench, where almost all the girls from my class plus samuel were there. only ys of the girls seemed to notice something was amiss. later tohkey returned and i started icing my now big swollen ankle. weilai and eden saw and weilai offered me some help on how to ice. then aaron (together with berlian) came along, and told me how to (properly =P ) ice my ankle. aaron later offered to get me some more ice, seeing my first pack had melted.

i then walked to the classroom, thinking of the dreaded staircase i had to climb for 4 levels up. at times like these it's not hard to wonder why people say hc is not a handicapped-friendly school, unlike some school which best is still yet to be... at least they're heading in the right direction in this department.

then came along liang wei, then i told him to be a good friend and walk with me upstairs. he gladly obliged, since he wanted to be late for math tut anyway. so we walked up and saw carl on 4th floor.

later after the end of the lessons eden stayed behind and helped me apply his "zheng4 gu3 shui3" on my ankle, which by now... i couldn't tell if the swelling had reduced. but it was really nice of him. not many people even knew about the injury. lol only jenny (of the girls) seemed to know and asked if i was ok.

later carl, tth and i took 156 home, because i decided it'd be best if i moved about less. sitting on bus would certainly help. so we took to sengkang mrt instead of the usual compass pt stop where we would cross the overhead bridge (i didn't want to walk) and carl gladly sat with me to the terminal.

wow. i can write so much about 1 swollen ankle. i wonder why i can't do the same thing for my wr? anyway i thought a lot of people were very nice today, and i'm very grateful for that.

oh and btw kenneth i don't blame you for my injury. but i think next time i should play with shoes with lower soles. jt was right, my shoes are kinda like stilettos.

oh, just finished buring FIFA 06. thanks lumpy! =)
