What a day!

Went for soccer this morning at Serangoon Ctrl with my primary school friends. After that went home, knockout in bed and woke up for a jog. Jogged dangerously without my bandage on. Mine got dirty due to soccer. Disgusted to wear that again. Was resting on the park bench when I saw Liyana walking nearby. Met her and talked to her for quite a while. I don't know why but she found my MWG kinda cool..Haha jakon.. So I went home after that and went online to check my mails..

It wasnt my usual visit to Hougang Green Mall this evening. Went to get fresh supply of crepe bandages from Guardian to replace my dirty one,due to soccer this morning. It's raining everyday,so I'm thinking twice about washing my bandages. It started to pour when I was going down the escalator and exiting the mall. I heard a loud screech, a thud and a loud cry. I knew it came from the main road,so I went out to have a look. A small girl was lying motionless on the road,crying in pain. She was hit by a car.

Together with the people from the nearby coffeeshop and other bystanders, I went for her aid. The driver of the car called for the ambulance and I advised him not to move his car at all, even though it's obstructing traffic, for police investigation. A young passer-by also came upfront, helped to divert traffic and got some people to help shelter the girl with umbrellas but at the same time not to crowd around her. She was still concious,but her neck was stiff, her left leg bled, and her left hand slightly broke. It was really heartening to hear her cries for her mom.. Borrowed a lighter and split my 4m bandage into 2. Passed one piece to an uncle and he wrapped it around her bleeding left leg. I ran out to the grass area to search for a straight twig around 30cm and carefully positioned it alongside the girl's arm trying hard not to move it too much,and wrapped it with the other piece of bandage. We then continued comforting the small girl and waited for the ambulance.

The big van with red and white blinkers arrived. QX 181 H. The same one that brought me to changi general hospital last september. I still recognise the paramedics! We passed the job to the paramedics and they brought her to KK hospital for treatment. The girl's parents came, picked up her slippers from the road and followed in one of the bystander's car to the hospital.

The nearby onlookers dismissed themselves and those who had helped went for shelter. I declined to give statement pertaining to the accident because I didnt see it totally with my own eyes. I excused myself,went back to Guardian and bought 2 packs of crepe bandages this time.

I went home,feeling proud of myself. Things that I learn during NPCC, finally being put to use. I hope that the girl will recover soon. She still has a longer way to go in life, at the same time,learning a painful lesson of road safety.

Everyone,please treasure your lives as much as you can. I would like to advise all of you
NOT TO JAYWALK unnecessarily even if you feel confident. An accident is bound to happen. Always use the traffic light or overhead bridge. They're there for a purpose. Please think of your loved ones at all times.


With that, what a day I had today. I've another match tomorrow at Pei Hwa Sec. Once the rain subsides, I might be going down for a cool jog.

I'm beginning to jelak drinking just 100 plus everyday.

Take care everyone.
Loves,
