7 years ago, I broke my leg!!

Today, I was looking through the old photo albums that my parents kept for literally every single occasion since we are born. I am surprise to find the photo when my parent n Yin Jin came all the way to JB to visit me, because I broke my leg!

How did i break my right leg? I remembered clearly, it was my 1st visitation together with Tze Hing (my coursemates) during my second year. I used to go with senior like Kok Chai (shepherd) or Jau Chai (CGL) or Yee Kan (ACGL). But that night, me and Tze Hing really wanna go visit on our own. It was the first time we did so. So he brought me on his motorcycle, and went in to Kolej 3 (where we stayed during our first year). After we visited several juniors and presummably a fruitful night, we decided to call it a day. Just as I tried to ascend a small cliff (about 1 meter tall), i slipped and my leg hit the ground. The pain was intense, I couldn't even stand up for few minutes. Eventually, when I was better, Tze Hing sent me home. When i reached the doorstep, I just lied there for 1 hour cause it was too painful to move, until my housemates came back. Immediately, they brought me to a chinese "tukang urut" where he rubbed my ankle with such strength until I cried.

Nevertheless, after that, i thought it was gonna be alright. For a week, the pain was there still. So went back to tukang urut again: rubbeb, pain and cried. It continue for another week, then I cannot stand and dad advised me to go visit a specialist. Lo n behold, the specialist told me that my ankle bone had fracture and I had to be operated immediately. Panic, I called my dad to ask what to do ... he said just go ahead with the operation and he would come over to JB from Kch immediately to sort out the payment. I was all alone in the hospital then ... so I called my CG and told them I would be operated now! It was a shocking news to all. But they said they would be praying for me.

I was pushed in the operation theatre and ............. when I woke up, I saw brothers and sisters from CG came and visited me! Followed by my parents and sister! I was soooo soooo touched! Since then I know, beside my natural family, I had my spiritual family who care for me as well! I stayed in hospital for 1 nights and I was discharged. Received lots of care and corcerns during the period of time!

Just some side notes:

  • A screw (15cm) and a metal (25cm) were put inside my right leg to secure the bones
  • I was on plaster for 3 months. The screw and metal remaind for another 3 months.
  • On the third month, I started driving again while on plaster n clutches.

With plaster n clutches. It was during my 2nd year in UTM, so i was quite slim in size!
