(Huh! At last got rid of the 404 Error, I hope. Why I don’t know, how also don’t know)

Bernard, tagged me for this meme which looks like it has been going on for a while now. As personal as it is, I definitely will not stop the flow of this! So here it comes! But.. I doubt it would be of any interest! Quite boring actually.

1. I used to play the violin and guitar

2. Unlike Bernard who moved a lot, I was born and brought up entirely in Alor Setar.Kedah. I enjoyed my schooling years especially the upper secondary days in Sultan Abdul Hamid College, the school for kings and prime ministers! Ahem!!

3. I once during my Form Six biology class with Mr Jayamohan, almost got electrocuted together with 2 other friends when one of them suddenly,(out of total boredom) asked us,”Does the metal ring for the keys to the science lab cupboards conduct electricity?” Duh! Of course it would! Well, we were bored and felt adventurous being in the very new science lab (scientist konon) –so we decided to proof it! I plugged the pair of keys into the science lab table socket and we decided to turn the socket on. We did but nothing happened – hoping to see it burn, turn red or get hot . Disbelief, we decided to try again only this time for the guy who asked the question to touch the keys after turning the socket on. Dumb! Oh how dumb! As my friend reached out to touch, the ring burst loudly and burnt leaving the two keys separated. I knew I was in trouble especially when my mom was also a biology teacher in Keat Hwa Secondary School! Gosh were we lucky!

4. I also have this treaty with road accidents. I never fail to get involve in an accident either by my own doing or someone else! Usually it is mine! I had two life threatening escapes. I escaped but the vehicle I was in did not! First, my Wira, while driving to locum on a hot Sunday afternoon on a kampung stretch, I dozed for a second — emm now as i think about it maybe a minute or two. On coming was a long trailer with 16 tyres with a wide gap in between the 2nd set and the 3rd set. He noticed me swaying to his lane, and he honked me and he drove his lorry towards the side of the road but I was asleep and was heading at him like an trailer-sensor torpedo. I smashed into his 2nd set of tyre, deflating them, missed the gap and smashed again against the 3rd set of tyres disjointing them and took a horizontal spin of about 3-4 times before coming to a halt just missing a brand new red Honda Accord by about 10cm!!!!. Shocked but still calm, I could see the road from within my driver seat with the coolant and the brake fluid flowing across the road reminding me of bile and blood!!
The floor of my driver side was lifted upwards into the car folding over to cover the clutch!! My legs somehow miraculously did not get trapped but my door was jammed! I also saw my dangling driver-side tyre from where i was sitting! Like a scene from SPEED I remember telling myself only without a lady!!! Heart racing yet!!? Ha Ha Ha
The second was when I was travelling to Singapore for a paediatric surgery conference. I took the midnight bus, NICE,which was famous then! I was seated alone, right at the back on the driver side. The were only a few seats vacant. We were all asleep. At 3am, I was awakened by a loud crash and found myself slamming my face onto the holder bar of the seat in front of me. Ouuch! my nose and eyelid hurts as I wipe across to find myself wiping off some fluid on my face. It was blood – wasn’t much though! Still in shock, I tell myself to sit back and breath and as I did that, I hear a baby crying and out of nowhere a lady screaming about her husband had blood on his face. I told myself I am fine as I did a quick self assessment. I get up from my sit and to my horror, the whole front on the left side where the entrance door was upto the 2nd row was missing! Empty with some rubble! I see a lady frantically walking towards me. I told myself, to prevent her from reaching my side and calm her! I pushed the roof lids for extra light and searched for the emergency exit. Another guy came up to me to help. We found the door, flung it open just to find ourselves at least 6 feet from the ground with no stairs! We would have to jump off the so called ridiculous exit onto the fast lane risking getting driven over by a road rage driver as the bus came to a halt on the second lane! No! at 3am the cars and vehicles were not having any intention to slow down! Anyway, the both of us managed to leave the bus, and I walked to the front to assess the damage – it was bad! The bus ran into a parked lorry. The driver and the only driver fell asleep! We got another guy to help us divert the traffic, while the both of us assisted the passengers out of the bus to the side of the road! Despite telling myself that this was bad, it never did sink in until I came to the last passenger, a young beautiful lady in her early 20s hurled towards the driver with the driver supporting her while saying sorry! Her first words, ” I cannot move” A very quick check, revealed my worst fear that she was paralysed from a spinal injury. But Malaysians in their caring ways cannot see somebody lying flat – that is bad. So, despite me getting her lifted out through the front hole with a make shift board and giving clear orders to keep her flat, I later found her propped up with bags behind her. Before i knew it she was whisped off right in front of me, into a car with no regards to her spinal injury. All I had was a sentence with her, ” I am George, a doctor, be strong.” They knew she was bad and just wanted her to be rushed to the hospital as soon as possible!
I managed to reach Singapore KK Child & Women’s Hospital with a swollen face. I was later informed by my urology consultant that the lady was under his care for urinary incontinence and was paraplegic! I was sad! Then again, did I digress? Well, it is still a part of me! There are many more!

5. I as a freshie in my first month in university orientated another freshie from another faculty who came to our residential college to have a bath as his residential college had water shortage! Naughty was I but I still remember it till today and laugh at the thought of me doing it. No, no, it was in no way raging – I was against raging! Ha Ha Ha. He later found out later that night and told his seniors in his residential college — they came looking for me but I was nicely tucked in the medical library laughing and studying! Other faculty students are not allowed unless they have a special pass!

I hope you felt the adrenaline rush as much I did!
So who should I tag ; Hoiling, Vagus and just me.

Enjoy!
