Welcome to my blog! Tag as much as you like =D

yesterday was quite a scary day. (all identities will not be disclosed) ever encountered a situation where someone experienced memory loss? yea that's wad happened to one of my closest friends.

the story starts in PE, which was 2nd period. inventing games module, so the game was this dog-and-bone cum basketball thing. each group had like 6 people, and everyone had a number 1-6. then numbers will be called and those called will rush to get the frisbee (so it's like dog and bone) and then play something like basketball after that where you have to shoot into the area to score. so, my team had 6 people and no. 1 was called. he chionged to the middle to get the frisbee and BANG! he crashed head-first with another classmate who came chionging too. it all happened so fast. i think he recoiled and collapsed to the ground and his head hit the ground. both of them seemed quite ok at first, nothing too bad. just bruises and a bit of pain. after awhile, we all thought they were fine. then after that, no. 1 seemed very blur and confused as the game continued on. somehow, he just kept forgetting that he was number 1 and i repeated it a lot of times to him, but somehow he just kept forgetting. i remember how he was suddenly so confused while playing, unsure of which side to score and who were his team members. it doesnt sound much here, but its freaky seriously.

i think after some time, we realised that the problem was actually quite severe. he kept forgetting things that we told him just a few minutes before and he seemed very lost. i even got irritated and raised my voice abit at him. kept thinking he was tryin to pull off a joke! sigh. why didn't i believe him?? i should have known something was really wrong. after that, adrian chng came in and we started questioning him seriously. he couldn't even remember that it was the 2nd period. things were gettin really serious. short term memory loss! i was so afraid that he'd lose all his memory. what if he forgot the people around him? i din't want to lose such a good fren like him. that was the first time in my life i experienced the feeling of being afraid of losing someone. really really worried.

we sent him to general office after that. questioned him more and realised he forgot a lot more things. i tell you, we were seriously freaked out and worried at that time. you don't know how it feels when your friend starts losing more and more of his memory right in front of you. you'd never know when he will look at you with a blank face and wonder who you are. the scary thought was stuck in my mind, i jus couldn't take it away. haiz. ambulance came and paramedics rushed him to sgh. sigh. kinda traumatic.

after school we all went to visit him at sgh. found out he took a CT scan (brain scan) and luckily it showed no problems. but i guess de problem was still quite serious, so they left him in the observation ward at A & E. i think more than half of our class went to visit him, only 3-4 people allowed each time, so we kinda rotated. zz dat stupid idiot, still in such a good mood when everyone was so worried. i went in with ernest, linjin and java. he still couldn't recollect anything that happened in the day gah. luckily, he only forgot that day's events but his long term memory was still there. still remembered all of us. *huge sigh of relief* anw, we left at around evening. but i sms msn convoed him at night lol, well imagine how lonely you'll be in the hospital. was happy to see that he was still his normal self. and he got discharged at around 10 pm.

after all this, it just dawned upon me that everything in life was just so fragile. i could lose the people around me so easily, i really have to treasure them even more now. my friends, my family and the people around me. i don't want to experience a day when i regret not having treasured them before i lost them. sigh. imagine what would happen if he really lost all his memory. he'd be like an empty shell, he'd forget everything, his school, his friends, his life, everything. it is a scary thought.

hope he's hvin a good rest today and is still alright. god bless him. hope he recovers soon =D
