Crutch
As i dragged my leg into the cab and my bud slid into back seat with crutch we lovingly call the M16, cab driver’s eyes widened.
Without missing a beat, she goes…
“Haiya, you ar cat… told you dont fight with the feller u dont want to listen..”
Curiousity turned to horrified fascination.
“Haiyo….how i know he got carry knife??”
My bud wont stop going on and on…
“You carry M16 oso useless wan…”
“Ya lor… the thing too long… bullets got stuck…”
At this point, driver smiles… and blessedly refrained from asking questions.
Who needs physiotherapy?
Just get drunk and you’d put your foot through the paces you never would, if you were sober instead.
Mom’s choice of traditional meds are right on the money. Had something she brewed with ingredients from the shops and the long line of wound has dried up except for the botton end- deep hole…but sloooowwwwwly getting there.
Meds were from some animal parts which couldnt be identified from its “scientific names”…only recognised snake gall. I feel bad esp. after seeing a documentary about how some animal parts are cruelly obtained for their medicinal properties. Am somewhat at odds here… on the one hand… it helped heal nephew’s eardrums and my scrapes awfully faster than usual. But i saw how animals were hunted down, cruelly treated and just left to die… to the point some of these animals are even endangered species now. I just hope mom doesnt have to go and get some more.
However, I will still swear by the efficacy of aloe vera. Damn good stuff.
Watta nite. At last managed to have that gathering that i talked about earlier. Almost everyone turned up… even though in stitches, crutches and casted leg. Even got to “rag” the new ‘uns who sportingly complied. Had a few puffs of some kind of cigar that went around, before it was totally flooded with someone’s saliva… yeck. Dint have chance to CSI but everyone was generally happy and feeling the warmth of every single body who made it from Redang.
Then onward to z bar, where hurrah hurrah… a sambuca was awaiting… tis my birthday! I wouldnt take the thing so Bud in fit of frustration gulped it down… god bless. Otherwise doubt Id survive enough to go grocery shopping for few hours today. And there’s a few other birthdays to be celebrated this month and next… *getting a phantom hangover*
And i miss booboo, as always. She’s just so awesomely adorable.
