My Cyclops Adventure

O Bosy! i was so irritated cos i typed alot of stuff jus now describing my adventure...but it was all lost due to some error connection! GRrrrrr....froosgraba....

Anyway i will attempt to repeat my story.
I was saying how shocked i was wen i first saw this blog..i tot my eyes played trick on me so i had to refresh many time just to make sure. and then talking about eyes....

I think wat happend to me was so SWAY that i seriously suspect it was some voodoo work. I told you people are jealous of my talents n fan clubs and all.... *nods*

I was attacked by an innocent but deadly thing----a Banner. I give you an analogy: a paper that is as white as snow, flimsy and weak, but the edge as sharp as knife if applied correctly. Yeap...that was sorta wat happened to me la. The banner was waiting to dry ( i tell you its dam sly la! dry and hardened liao but still flimsily hanging there!), and it looked like its gona drop any moment, so the stupid good samitarian me tried to hang it back. While doing so, it SWUNG down, RIGHT INTO my RIGHT EYE! And i was wearing my goggle-specs right then u noe! So SWAY! and loser....haha...
moreover, that happened on the second last day of the project aka the Saree day in which aunty will lend us her sarees to wear. And we are suppose to make our way to the new property for some prayer and ceremony which is 5 min walk away from the old home.Imagine me winking at all those people on the road while walking there! haha...

And we had the puppet show back at the old home after the celebration at the new property. We made it into a theatre-production style..so imagine all was dark and the kids had to come up one by one into the "performance hall"..haha...some of them were too afraid to come in! Anyway they loved it.... =)

ok that was sidetrack.hee hee. So all this while my eye hurted so badly i had to visit the doctor right after the puppet show. (so i had no time to take a picture of myself in this GREEN saree that they said made me looked like a queen!) It felt like there's this big grain of sand constantly stucked in my eye. So i was brought to this hospital which looked like a clinic to me. Doctor was frenly....but thats not all!

Next mornin..it wasnt any better! infact i turned into a red-eyed cyclops and my vision was affected (like theres this waxy layer over the eye that made my vision whitishly blur)! haha..ppl were, for the first time, afraid to look at me!haha...

so they brought me to an eye specialist instead. and guess wat the specialist said! She said " stop the current medication IMMEDIATELY" and she gave me an hourly-based eye-drop medication plus some oral antibiotics i tink. Den i enquire for an explanation for the "immediately" part, so the specialist said that the current medication contained steriods that would actually reduce my immunity to some bacteria which would then infect my cornea. yes CORNEA! haha...i was quite shocked that i could be THIS CLOSE to being blind or at least partially blind.

Somehow...i think i know how kelly felt....
hahaha...

In the midst of all the discomfort, things so sweet that melts one heart happened. For that mornin which i couldnt join them for breakfast in the main hall, the children picked so many flowers for me to wish me "get-well-soon" (becos they were not allowed to come upstairs where we slept). Can u imagine wakin up in the late mornin, finding a bunch of sunshiny flowers by yr bed, plus breakfast in bed (brought up by bug and a second share by KC!)...wa...i was so touched that i cried ok! seriously lor...even as i recollect that moment...i can feel the tears comin..

And that was not all...
For that day i couldnt attend the farewell ceremony (songs and prayers) held before the dinner. Wanted so badly to see the children and all but i cant see!Wearing eye-patch worsens the pain cos its like pressing yr eye harder against that "grain of sand", so that was not a solution and thus discarded. heh heh...anyway...while i was "resting" (actually i was trying v hard to eavesdrop on wat was goin on downstairs)..aunty jenny came up...personally. And she did this special personalised prayer for me...for protection..thankin me (in other words praising me haha) etc. It was one of the most sincere prayer i have ever received thus far in my life. It left both of us crying...
will never forget that moment man.
Bosy i dont know how yet to put this feelin into words, maybe i cant...but but...its just so pure this feeling , so great that it engulfed me deeply.

After that i "forced" myself down to have dinner w them. Seroiusly i think the eye hurt super badly, but because of the kids it hurt only quite badly. When it was time for bed...i asked them if they wanted me to sing them goodnight songs(aka lullabye), cos previous nights i did so and they love it (tell u more abt it another day), and Michael (one of the kids that i got quite close to) was so eager that he went around setting up the bed just so i can sing for them. haha..but the rest werent as eager as he was...haha..so he din manage to be properly lying in bed while i sung the song. I saw the time, i saw him, and i just started singin, and bug joined me! haha...actually that night..i didnt cry as much as i tot i might. maybe cos of the eye, but i think more so of this new feeling which i cant decipher as yet. I will miss them, and cant bear to leave them, but somehow...its different from last year.*shrugs*
Infact, those who cried the most..i find that they had shed the most superficial tears. Not that they pretend to cry or wat...its just that those tears are more like atmosphere-induced kind of tears.Although i am aware that i may be biased against them, and i have no 100% assurance that i have made the absolute deduction, those who cried the least were those who interacted with the kids the most. Alot of superficial-tears members would rather play poker cards during their free time instead. *shrugs*
I'm not blaming them, nor am i saying they'r doing the wrong stuff...i think this group is more bonded..so naturally more inwardly-directed activities than outwardly. I think ultimately, it boils down to what objective(s) they brought along and formed via this project. They are not BAD ppl. =)
