The day the plants and trees commited suicide.

On the way back home from the hospital yesterday, my mum and I were astonished upon seeing numerous trees lying across the road with their roots clearly seen still freshly tugged from the ground. As we slowly drive around the housing area, we saw nothing else other than the trees that miserably lied across the road, that they used to grow lining side by side as the road go. Big trees got pulled to the side by the trucks. Upon reaching home, we were surprised to find our dear mango tree broke one of it's hand. The following will show you what are the wonders that people will do when facing with such situations:

1) My cousin came running saying her roof extension got blown upwards (Wow.. *Laughs*) and her dad's plants came bungee jumping down one by one from the concrete fence. And so.. The very next day, we saw him screwing each and every plant pots he have to the metal bar with nails.. Especially his bonsais.

2) Another friend who was brimming with confident and laughing at those who's trees fell kissing Earth because she did not plant any trees in the garden of her house. Little did she know, she ended up as the one laughing the loudest at herself for that when she reached home, she saw one tree laying in front of her eyes. In the garden of her house. Nobody know how it got there. It was a gift from the wind. *Laughs*

From what I heard, the strong wind came by sudden after a sudden heavy rainfall. It happened so fast that all the dry clothes hanging under the big blue sky looked like it just came out from the pool. Magics in the wind, they blew so strongly that they made the plants grow legs, which didn't last long enough for them to conquer the world. Sad case. So many plants died.. :(

Visited Chai Teng today and she looked so much better after yesterday's surgery. Such a quick recovery, she was already sitting up leaning on the bed when we arrived this afternoon. But her back still hurts her a lot, so it was shown on her face. She can hardly talk but loud enough for us to listen. The doctor came in after that, asking her to try to stand up and walk. My goodness, but she just had her spinal chord surgery yesterday. Ouch.. So I asked the doctor about it and he said, most of his patients undergo the same procedure the day after the surgery and got discharged from the ward on the third day. So, we watched how he helped her to stand up and it looked so painful that I think I forgotten to breathe or something.. When the doctor kept asking her does she feel any dizzyness, I ended up to be the one having my vision got blurred and blurrer. I was about to faint. There goes me, leaning against the chair with my aunt applying ointments on my head. *Laughs* So, basically they (the doctor, nurses.. Etc) were all joking about it. I am not the patient, but I am the one getting dizzy watching. LOL. All because I forgot to breathe. Haha.. To think about it, although being the one watching, I can feel her pain. With all the pipes and needles poking into her and the bloods.. Uhhhh.. I wonder how will I end up like if I am a doctor. *Laughs* Anyhow, I wish that she will get well soon, and may her operation scars pain reduce. From a bend spinal to a straight one, she would be about the same height as me now. :)
