Life, how I view it, how unpredictable it is and how it can end up kicking you right in the ass.

Lesson of the day: Wear Nice Panties whenever you go out



As I was walking out of the MRT station this morning, I saw a girl lying on the floor. Judging from the colour of her face, she must have just fainted. Seeing this girl reminded me of a similar incident that happen to me a few months ago.

I was running a high fever that morning and decided to go to the doctor. My boyfriend offered to come over to take me to the doctor. Usually, he would fetch me there on his motorcycle. But that day was unusually hot so he decided that we should take the MRT instead. That turned out to be one of the smartest suggestions he ever made. While we were at the MRT station, I told him that I needed to go and withdraw some money. Since he needed to buy a train pass, we agreed to meet near the machines. At this point in time, I was starting to feel nauseous. Everything seemed to grow more distant. From experience, I knew that I was about to pass out so I quickly made my way over to my boyfriend and before I could tell him how I was feeling, I passed out. The last thing I remember seeing was a brick wall. The train station was still relatively crowded as it was morning rush hour. I honestly can't remember what happened after that except someone carried me onto a wheelchair. According to my boyfriend, a kind lady rubbed some medicated oil under my nose and the train staff came rushing out with the wheelchair. I regained consciousness a while later and my mind was alert enough to know that a huge crowd had gathered round. At this point in time I was so embarrassed for causing such a commotion that I just kept my eyes shut and pretended not to know what was going on.
There happened to be a clinic next to the train station which is where they CARRIED me to. Yes, CARRIED. They wouldn't let me walk there by myself and though I appreciated their concern, it was SO embarrassing.

Back to the girl at the train station this morning. When I passed out, I was fortunately, wearing shorts. This poor girl happened to be wearing a short skirt and when she fainted, well, lets just say lots of office-goers saw much more than they bargained for. Like my friend's grandmother always says " Always wear nice panties when you go out, you never know what might happen".
