On death and dying

Today has changed my tomorrow, today has impacted my life. Let's start from school. Yeah, i had a good chat with ray in English lesson and i find, being sitted right next to a genius is a real previlege, ray has been the only person that has provoked my thoughts, he has been the only person that can have a full force debate, real substantial conversation, he has been the only person i still find hard to win at, in verbal battles, not really battles, but yes, and i guess i've been one of the only ones who constantly fought him, or for starters, understood him, but yes, he's a genius. So today we talked a lot about the war in the Middle-east, and also, we talked about the compo topics. The topics were pretty simple to do, and me and ray felt that the only topic that posed a question was that of acknowledging that space is the only place unexplored, cause the others would be boring unless we can really write a great one, then we talked about what other aspects of the unexplored, like physics, then i started mentioning time-travel, then ray started debating with me again, and i found out that the philosphers were pretty crapping, haha, if we were to travel faster than light and in fact, live in a slow motioned world, we wouldn't be travelling back in time would we? We'd merely be ahead of time itself, but i dunno if this is what einstein and the philosophers intended, but anyway, we got through the day pretty well.

After school i decided to go with teck to central to get my new bottle of whitening lotion as i lost mine yesterday and i felt naked without putting it in the morning, so after we bought we decided to go for a few games of pool at safra, wah, teck has become so pro, i proudly acknowlege his surpassing, he has really improved, maybe i didn't go to safra too much and didn't notice or i had been sleeping all the while, blind, a fool, in any way, i should knock my head on the wall for my stupidity, anyway, i was kinda depressed today because i thought the only opponent left was wei zhou, and to find out that teck can clear me so easily, but i hold no grudge against teck for thrashing me without giving chance but i'm ok.

So i headed home at about 7pm, and i was walking up, looking forward and smsing that sheryl, when one old lady ran down, she was smiling and muttered something when suddenly she yelled and tripped and fell really hard on the road, i was at that point, totally stunned. I wondered if it was a joke, how come she was smiling happily and the next moment, she fell? I was at the corner of the road, and she laid motionless at the other end, it was really really super awkward, i was in a fix, i didn't know what to do, alone on the road, no one there, i stared at her with my phone in hand, mouth open, i didn't know what to do, then i walked over to her and i saw her eyes open, she was still muttering something i could not understand, then i bent down and asked her, are you okay auntie? in chinese, she didn't reply, but she kept muttering, i really didn't know what to do, to help her up or what? I couldn't leave her lying there! I continued to ask her again and again, when i saw dark red blood flowing down, i was totally freaked out, then i look around, through the door of the house beside us another elderly lady was staring at us from afar, i guess she didn't see the lady on the floor, i motioned for her to help, i looked at her and called for her, then her maid came to the door, when she saw the elderly lady lying motionless on the floor, she screamed, '' ah ma!'' and ran out, then the occupants of that house, an elderly couple came out too, then they were like, so freaked out, the pulled her up and sat her on a stool, then the maid asked me what happened, i told her i just saw her fell, then i offered to call the ambulance, then she told me to call 1777, and when i did, the operator asked if i could wait for 30 mins, when i asked the maid, she said no, so i said no, then the operator told me to call 995, when i asked the maid if i should call, she told me to check her house to see if there were anyone there, after giving me directions, i ran down the road and found the house, called out and no one answered, then i rushed back again, at this point some adults came along and they asked me if there were anyone inside, i said no, then there was quite a huge commotion, i just stood beside the elderly lady, then when the adults started to leave, i felt, since the adults were leaving, all the more there shouldn't be a reason for me to stay, since i'm only a little kid, i want to mind my business but i couldn't just pretend i didn't see, i was dragged into this and i guess i'm too ''little'' to help. The elderly lady kept coughing out blood, and i was thinking, ''how on earth did i get dragged into this?'' Haha, then i started to leave, and i waited for the maid to turn around, when she saw me, i told her i had to leave, she didn't really say thank you, but she nodded her head and from i eyes, i knew that she was full of gratitude.

So i left the scene, feeling like i was about to explode to the whole neighbourhood about this matter. I mean, hoe lucky/unlucky could i get? Unlucky in the sense that how come, when i'm happily skipping home, i have to be the only witness of this thingy? It like, i'm so unlucky to be at the right place at the right time, unlucky in the sense that, i had to witness something so horrible, blood. There are so many people that this can happen to, but i guess God wanted me to have a better idea to write the compo topic for '' How i helped an elderly person from my neighbourhood.'' haha, but i'm really glad to be there to help her, if not, like ray said, something worse could have happened. I'm still shocked about this incident, i mean, its really funny, to have to happily go home one day, free from worries, free from troubles when suddenly you're caught in a fix you can't run away from, do i have to remind you i was alone on that road then, not a soul was there, so i was like staring at her motionless body and walking over to ask her condition, anyway, i'm glad to have helped.
