andy, me, esther and jiabin at the streets in orchard during christmas season...hmm.. to blog on the start of the day is sure strange but you know, i'm a stranger.. hahahaahaa~~
anyways, last night, esther and i decided to plan for the next outing before she leaves for perth. so we kinda agreed on the time to msn but somehow, our plans were thwarted. her msn's bugged or infected with virus i think. so we decided to call each other. well, she called me and it came to a point, i've decided to call andy for a conference.. as usual, we trio always headstart the plans made. then after talking for like some time, andy kept hanging up and made me call him back again and again. it was so irritating.. anyways, in the end, after talking behind vincent's back, though i was msning him at the same time, esther decided to fight with her com and she hung up. well, andy and i continued our conversation and it was quite nice.. just that throughout the entire process including esther's convo, andy kept
suarning me.. woah~~ super fustrating man!! but overall, it was a good talk.. really like talking to andy.. cos i can complain like hell.. muahahaa.. and he complains that i complain a lot.. muahahaa.. well, we were actually talking about the injuries sustained throughout the 05 trip to nagoya.. how andy dislocated his arm and how vincent broke him arm...
well, before the trip starts in 05, andy told me personally before the trip that his arm is dislocated and so, i'm the only freaking person in the entire team who knows about it. i didn't really bother to tell the whole world because i didn't think the silly man would do stupid things like playing ping pong with a baseball bat. when we were first in meigaidai, i was talking to some professor and after which, yuji came telling us andy is injured. well, at that instance, i ran like a mad woman looking for him, worried like hell while the others remains nochalant. i guess its because they didn't know.. and by the time we found him, i was there laughing at the same time worried and thinking of how stupid he can be.. mixed feelings i guess, but i know its an old injury, so i remained silent and hopes for his recovery rather than crying for him..
well, his injury led to many responsibilities i have to cover for him. carrying heavy stuffs for the team other than vincent whose arms are perfect then. i remembered one morning, vincent and i had to wake up early in the morning and prepare to help seiji with the sound equipments and we had to go shop for groceries in tachiya.. so, the two of us were praying, but vincent took all his time and i end up a few seconds rush.. pfft.. what i remembered clearly is, he carried a whole load of heavy and huge equipments up to the crusade room. seiji was impressed and complimented him being strong.
little did we know, a week or two later, we ended our last english lessons on professor rines' class and vincent and yuusuke decided to arm wrestle again!! i remember the previous week, they arm wrestled in the green area and vincent lost. and what i remembered more specifically is, yuusuke's a tennis player and ambitioned to be a coach. anyways, that fateful day, vincent and yuusuke lock arms and wrist to wrist, decided to arm wrestle again. my face was sticking in front of the two hands and go, they started. knowing vincent was about to lose, i was like.. "vincent!! don't lose!! jiayou!!" sorta thing.. and he went trying again... and then suddenly a "crack" sounds and i started looking at the tables. the tables were hard wood and near impossible to break and i noticed vincent look bad. i hurriedly hit yuusukes hands off vincent and his face turns white immediately. i know, he broke it hard! i called jody immediately but he didn't pick up. i called masayoshi and ask him to meet us at the hospital. we hurried someone to call the hospital and i told them not to call the health office but someone did anyways. i guess, at the end of that night, i was terrorized by that sound.
i held back my tears during a gathering, but deep inside me, i was feeling so horrible and filled with guilt. back in apartment, i sat beside my futon and started tearing. jasmine was fortunately a good listener. i know its not entirely, but its still partly my fault. i tried to be nice to him though i hope it wouldn't create misunderstandings. cos i had to see him in school, and in church too. it was 7 days a week man!!
up till now, i still feel horrible... didn't like the crack sound.. if he never recovers, i'll still blame myself for encouraging him to continue wrestling even though he was down. that is what andy and i had been talking about. i've never come so clean before but i really do hope that the next trip i'm gonna have, no more injuries please!!
