The name is Khairul. Would do fine with Khai or Kerol [kay-roll] - with proper pronunciation that is.

May have caused a traumatic experience to the nurses who were there when I graced the world on the 14th of June, 21 years ago.

I reside at the great eastern side of Singapore. At an estate named after a water containment facility. Go figure!

A left-hander. However, I function more like a right. And sometimes left of course.

Owns a Class 3 driving licence.

Have been playing the saxophone for 8 years. Currently a Baritone Saxophonist in the Philharmonic Youth Winds.

Being and socialising with people occupy whatever free time I might have.

Boredom is sadly pathetic - would be just staring at my ceiling.

And recently, graduated from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts where I pursued a diploma in Arts Management, majoring in Performing Arts.

IT'S OUT!
11:22 PM

probably,
today gonna be the shortest post ever.
*fingers crossed*

not to talk about what I did during the day or whatsoever,
but to tell those who are concern
(referring to the accident I had; check out the entry below)
that the bloody pencil lead
.
.
.
IS OUT OF MY FINGER!
wooohooo!
*fireworks-being-shot-up-in-the-sky*

ok,
that was a bit too exaggerating.

i do not know whether I should state this before I continue,
but the content gonna a bit disturbing.
I don't know about u, but I THINK, to me it's not that disturbing.
(I'm the one experiencing the pain! so, just read. haha!)
haha!

so...
let's rewind to yesterday for a moment..
I was so determined to get it out of my finger that night.
what I had beside me was,
1. a needle
2. a nail clipper
3. a tweezer

I used the needle to poke through the wound,
just to do a double confirmation.
and yes, I could feel the lead.
I sound sick; but heck.
haha!

next I used the tweezer,
using the tweezer doesn't help at all.
cos it was too big for the wound.

since the wound was some sort swollen,
I used the nail clipper to clip off some skin.
YES!
I actually clipped off some of my skin.
oh man, was I in terrible TERRIBLE PAIN.
never in my life that I had to resort to clipping of my own skin.
and the pain,
YOU DO NOT WANNA KNOW HOW IT FEELS LIKE.
i repeat, you do not wanna know how it feels like.
hahaha!
ok ok ok.....

the moment I was in such pain,
I immediately stopped my attempt of trying to get the bloody lead out of my finger.

and throughout the night,
I was not able to move my middle finger.
and as time passes, I could feel the pain moving from the finger down to my elbow.
so instead of enduring it,
i numb myself by sleeping.
so, I turned in quite early as compared to the other normal days.

come Today,
I woke up and told Mom that I still could not let the lead out.
since the pain have subsided,
I attempted on my 2nd attempt.
but no avail, it leads to more pain.
hahaha!
call me stupid, I don't care,
for all i care is that I really need to get that bloody thing out!

got ready for school,
and I was rushing cos I have to meet someone 1st to pass something before
heading for school.
I was about to put on my shoes,
suddenly remembered the money Dad passed to me earlier on
in the morning for my Bus Concession.
so I ran up to my room and took the money.
here comes the part where I went...
"HALLELUJAH"
ok, not literally, but you know that Chorus being sung?
er, never mind
.
hahaha!


anyhoos,
I was inserting the 60 bucks into my pocket and the next thing I felt was
EXCRUCIATING pain.
(must pity me you know, I'm always in pain. hahaha!)
my finger rubbed against the entry of the pocket.
so I pulled my hand out,
and
that bloody thing was sitting outside of the wound.
I was shocked to see cos I sort gave up & that its gonna stay in there for like forever.
as excited as I was, I could still feel the pain.
but I guess Excitement took over Pain.
ran to Mom's room (cos she was pretty concern) and show it to her.
all she said was..
"how did it get out?"
"well... good for you then. u could have wasted some money for a minor surgery"

yes,
I was actually thinking of that as my last resort.
visit the polyclinic to have a minor surgery.
I actually thought of this million times over.
cos from the way Nina described the procedure just leaves me in cold sweat.
hahaha!
she says, there's no anesthetic given.
cut it open.
and pull it out.
(then sew the wound back?)
bandage it up.
and finally given antibiotics just to ensure there's no inflammation.
(I'm alright with the cutting, the pulling and the sewing,
but when I heard that there is no anesthetic given, na'ah!)


yeah, if u were me,
i BET you'll think million times over.
I guess that recovery-accident and the pain that follows after that was worth 60 bucks.
go figure!

ok, enough.
I didn't know that a pencil lead could be topic for over two entries.
hahaha!
cool huh?

and oh,
if you're interested to know the length of the lead that was
embedded in my finger for 1 and a half day,
it was slightly shorter than 0.5cm.
(yes, I measured it)

I guess that's all for tonight.

anyway,
Fiffy is sleeping right in front of me like a baby right now,
on the computer desk.
and great, my mobile is being used as her 'pillow'.
hahaha!
she actually made quite a noise cos' I was busy blogging.
she wanted me to put her to sleep.
I can tell you, she's worst than a human being.
well I guess EVERY living thing needs attention.

till the next entry,
(I've realised, it's not a short entry anymore)
[LOL!]


CHEERS!


Day 2 of this ordeal-
It feels like I'm having a fight or more like
a war with my own flesh and blood.
I'm feeling all....... shitty.
as the older one, I shall make the first move?
Honestly,
I'm stuck between two conditions.
God, please bring me through this.
