Gah, been so busy over the past weekend with my Creative Arts Portfolio and all the random worksheets, so the amount of free time i've had to blog has been falling like the rain. But i guess the influence of Gunz is also at fault - so many people in my class suddenly started picking up this previous game again. And its quite hard to resist the temptation of gaming a little with a friend. <_< No, i haven't broken my leg, it's my maid. Last Wednesday, when she climbed up on a stool to clean the higher cabinets, the stool suddenly slid on the parquet floor and he had a heavy fall. Not to mention she was rather overweight, so her ankle took the weight of all that flab, and the impact broke her right foot. On a side note, she had just waxed the floor one week earlier, so i guess that unfortunately led to the floor being overly smooth which probably also contributed to her fall. Rather bad luck, but who would have imagined there would be such a side-effect, eh? So she's been on crutches even since, and my mother has had to help out with the housework after she comes back from work and i do some simple stuff like helping her bring stuff around. Yeah i know, that really isn't much of a chore, but im a slacker when it comes to such household duties. Perhaps if my mother paid me like how bing's mum gave him cash rewards for every chore he did, then that would make a slight difference. But im not really money-minded, and i don't really need alot of spare cash anyway, so i suppose that'll need some consideration after all. Thankfully my maid still isn't totally immobile and still can do most of the work, like cooking. I guess this incident had let me realise how dependent we are on domestic helpers, if we've employed them. Ours having been with us for 4 years already, i do have a certain bond with her, so i really pity and sympathize with her to see her limping about in pain.  That's her very badly swollen leg due to a fractured bone. You can't see it very clearly in the pic, but it does looks pretty disgusting. At least the cast covers the rest of it up. Hopefully she can get well soon and, er, resume fully working for us again. It's about time i went back to the thick stack of 50+ pages of notes that Mr. Docherty prescribed us, for the sake of some Oral Participation points from the discussion tmr. =X |
