Countdowns

Poster taken from the official blog :)

I'm counting down to the days of my prom this year. Why? Well, I did not enjoy myself last year (come to think of it, it was the only prom I didn't enjoy hahahaha) partly because I was in the committee, but most because there wasn't much interaction among ourselves and our lecturers (we tend to be rather close-knit with our lecturers, but for some reason, last year this was not applied to prom *sighs*). Without bitching too much about it, let's just say well, there's a lot that could've been improved, myself included :)

I'm still awaiting anxiously for my dress to be done (if not, I need a backup plan! Heh) and hey, good company too to accompany me for prom this year! Hence why I'm pretty much excited this year. Location wise, it sounds interesting and posh. Not to mention the theme of this prom, which is Viva Las Vegas. You can imagine how many actually suggested me dressing up as a playboy girl bunny when I moaned about what to wear for this themed prom! Hahahahaha. No, I won't be wearing a black swimsuit with bunny ears and tail. I'll leave my intended outfit as a secret for now *smirks*

So aside from my prom, I have another countdown too~! And this countdown is shorter, which is in four days time. Can't guess? It's when my cast will finally be removed!!! *dances happily* Granted, my arm is going to look superbly ugly, not to mention my wrist will feel like it's made of lead...but hey, the cast will be off! Phew! Hahahaha. So that's two countdowns to anticipate ;)

Next week, will be a rather busy week. I won't be back for work just yet; I'm planning to go back to work on the 5th...as I still need to rehabilitate my poor wrist on my own hahaha. Not to mention, well, I need to pack the house! (I'm horribly lazy...yeah) Whee me~~~

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

It's been awhile since I last blogged. Then again, was rather lazy haha. While my arm has been recasted for the second time after two weeks, I'm slowly trying to mobilize it as I move about. When my cast was taken off on the third week in the hospital and went for X-ray to check the progress, my wrist felt dead and heavy...and I saw two pins sticking out from my wrist :x kinda stared at it in a rather detached way. When the doc sawed off the cast, it HURT. He was like, "Nothing wan la!" and my mind went, "Well duh, you're not the one feeling the pain!" especially when my cast got stuck to the pin and when he tried pulling it off my wrist sort of jerked along with it. Ugh. My wrist was literally a deadweight after that. Imagine sitting down for so long until you can't feel your leg after a long while, and add that feeling to the point that your leg is numbed and is like a deadweight. THAT is how it feels haha.

So last Thursday me and sis left for Raya celebrations at my aunt's place in Perak. I was staring at my dogs who...well, amuse me from time to time. So I decided to snap a few photos of them from time to time! :P 

My two sleeping dogs - Friskii Ho and Bobbie Ho :3 Friskii is true to her name; she cannot sit still for long (I managed to snap this photo during a quiet period) and loves disturbing the older dog when she can. Bobbie on the other hand, is a lazy one who loves nothing more than to sleep his days off.


The curious puppy 


Who looks at me wondering what is it I'm holding (the camera)


Bobbie's awake! He spied something outside but was too lazy to...get up. LOL


This is Friskii trying to imitate Bobbie's behavior. The wire netting has been destroyed by a rather destructive brown dog who's terrified of fireworks and thunderstorms. You have no idea how irritating he can be =-=;;

So after that, I decided to snap some photos of my cast, which has scribbles now after Raya! 


Initially my cast was right up till past my elbow, but now, I can at least move my arm about ^^


My eager older cousin who wanted to sign my cast lul. He pressed against my thumb when he was writing that last two words/symbol which was rather...painful ._.

yeah that's my sister for you hahahahahaha


My cousin. LOL. Yes lar I know I'm clumsy!

Funny how these people comment so much about my clumsy fall. Dude, we fall every now and then due to carelessness or not seeing where we are going. But it's just your luck that when you fall, something decides to break along with it. I endured Raya listening to nags lol. Which is why I didn't really want to go back in the first place *sighs*

10 days more to go before the cast is removed!!!

The day I had a bad accident

Alexandra, the little diva in the family

While waiting for my laptop to be scanned for viruses (an unfortunate incident, I got Trojan-ed after visiting CustomHouse's site *sighs*) I decided to take my own sweet time typing out a blog post with one hand.

So why the one hand issue I've been going on and on, especially on Facebook? The answer is simple-I broke my wrist. Happened two days right after my birthday (talk about irony lol) It's a stupid and silly accident really, mostly my fault; but it could happen to anyone. Kind of like that just-my-luck accident that happens at a one-to-a-million-chances sort of thing. Anyway the culprit of this accident? A slippery floor in the bathroom...and a sharp mini doorstep by my bedroom. Slipped, flailed, and my wrist connected to the sharp doorstep. Odd thing is, I never did hear anything. Landed on my butt...so that took most of my attention away lol.

Imagine staring at your broken wrist dazedly for several moments, wondering bemusedly why your wrist is at an odd angle...and comparing it to your other wrist. All this without feeling any pain, yet. That was how I was. It took me awhile to finally realize that something was wrong, so I quickly got up and walked downstairs, trying very hard not to faint (I was already seeing black as I walked down the stairs). The moment I reached downstairs I hurriedly took my mobile and called my sister, urging her to rush back home to me. Right after that I called my boss to tell him I can't go to work cause I suspect my wrist is broken (I think he wasn't sure what I was trying to say then though, but fortunately he got the gist of it. By then I was near tears cause the pain was kicking in.

Unfortunately, sis was at KL so it took some time for her to return home. Equally unfortunately I was at a state of undress cause I just finished showering (was getting ready to go to work) so I couldn't open the door or unlock the gate for any anxious volunteers to send me to the hospital even if I wanted to. To try and block my pain, I tried distracting myself with other stuffs. Switched on tv to distract me, but it failed. Went online and immediately talked to Cheryl telling her that I need to cancel my party cause of my injury...followed by plurking saying, "I think I broke my wrist..." which invoked a very concerned admonition by Raz asking why am I not in the hospital. Sorry Raz ^_^;;

I waited in agony for about 40 minutes at home for my sis, sometimes screaming and whimpering to myself in pain. Couldn't help it, it was THAT painful. Finally sis got back home, changed and dressed, took all necessary documents, and rushed to the hospital. All the while I wished I had fainted to escape the pain. Buuuuut I didn't hehehe. Reached ER, and the nurse brought me to the waiting room, where I laid down on the bed. Roughly....1-2 hours later, a nurse FINALLY gave me a jab of painkillers to alleviate the pain, I went for X-ray shortly after that. Then it was back to the waiting room for me cause the doctors were too busy. Dimmie saw me while I was in pain too, and I actually cried while talking to her. How embarassing!

So many hours later (I think it was 5 hours later) I finally got a room. Insurance paperwork is...annoying, eh? The moment I got my room, went in, immediately changed into the hospital gown. And rushed to the operating theater. Got a jab of general anaestatic (I know my spelling is off lol) and dozed off while my wrist was being set. Later that night noticed my phone had misscalls and messages, but I was too tired to do anything by then. Called up my colleague though to update her, and update my boss at the same time.

My only visitors were my cousin, and Nao, Phil and Deru for two days. Dimmie popped by the next morning to see how I was before heading off to work too. Thanks for the visit everyone :) On the weekend, I followed my sis and her friend to Port Dickson and rested in the room, since I obviously can't be home alone lol. Was fun, though hell, everything in that resort is stupendously overpriced, even for a resort D: imagine paying RM70 for ONE HOUR of karaoke!

So for now, I'm recuperating at home trying to get work done with one hand. It's frustrating and time-consuming, but I'm slowly getting used to it. Doc says that I need to be on cast for six weeks, and my next appointment with him will be in two weeks time. I hope to heal soon, prom's in October!! Plus I have a lot of work to complete once my wrist heals hahahahaha *hangs self in impending work*
