IS THIS GOD'S CRUEL JOKE?
I have a bad news today.
Chris called me this morning and he sobbed. This ain’t the first time. The first time was when he conveyed a message about the passing of his beloved grandmother late last year. This time, something shitty happened to his sister.
It was bizarre as he was making fun of me just exactly a week ago about my accident. Chris regretted for pulling that prank and told me karmic effect didn’t take long this time.
I was petrified as I didn’t mean anything when I told Chris to watch out. It was meant to be a joke, I know. I certainly hope this didn’t happen because of the silly prank!! It was merely a coincidence… a cruel one in fact. God, I feel so fucked up.
His sister, Michelle, was studying hard for her exams, kept herself awake with cups upon cups of coffee. She hasn’t slept well for days.
Yesterday her lack of sleep took a toll on her and the unfortunate happened.
At 11.30 pm, she met with an accident on the way home from the library with a friend. I heard her Kelisa overturned a few times before she was flung out of the windshield and her head slammed against the pavement.
Onlookers didn’t help. All they did was stared at the puddle of blood in which she was in and ignored the other friend inside the car, pleas for help.
It was an agonizing moment till three Indian guys came with the tow truck and they managed to get Michelle to the hospital and helped the other friend out of the car.
What the fuck is wrong with Malaysians??? Chris reasoned. Probably his sister would have died as the onlookers just stared at her and did nothing, if weren’t for the three Indian men.
I told Chris to calm down as probably people were worried that if they shift Michelle’s body, they might hurt her more than helping her. It is best to leave it for the ambulance to come to her aid.
But what about helping the other friend in the car???
Yeah – the onlookers were bloody fucked up. MCH. KNLBCCB.
Michelle is now in Intensive Care Unit in the hospital, suffering from multiple skulls fractures. She had a hole behind her head and a major laceration on her forehead, and would need a plastic surgery.
We hope that she would get out of ICU soon and be on speedy recovery. Let us pray that she could come in terms with her condition.
Sometimes, when all these shitty things happened to our loved ones, we wonder where is God? Or wonder is there a God? We would blame everything and everyone. It is useless to regret this and that, all the should haves and shouldn't haves. Certain things happen beyond our control. Shit happens, whether we like it or not.
Don’t drive when we are tired or drunk. We were powerless to gamble with fate, but it doesn’t hurt to be extra cautious. Life is fragile, cherish it.

gosh, that’s a terrible thing to happen to anyone.
anyhow, i think we should not generalise that all Malaysians do not help when there is an accident. when my sister was a victim of a snatch thief, and fell and hit her head on the road, a lot of ppl came to her aid immediately while she was lying there all covered in blood.
hope your friend’s sister gets to a full recovery soon.

i’m so disturbed that nobody stepped out to help! WTF? sigh

This is typical of M’sians (the onlookers, I mean)…kaypoh but never willing to help. And you’ll get excuses like “the blood will stain my car”, “authorities are coming la”… ~_~
I’ll pray for her and hope she gets better BUT please…don’t think that it’s your fault. The fact that Chris can call you and confide in you shows that he bears you no ill-will. Just be there for him lor.
*hugs*

Thank you, fellow readers for your well wishes. I haven’t got the update from Chris yet. When I spoke to him last night, his sister had just gone out from the operation room after a 3-hour op. She is still in the ICU. We are all keeping vigil for her, in fact, I can’t remember how many joss sticks I had offered to the Goddess of Mercy at home.
Will keep you guys posted.
Thanks again.

I learnt something today. Out of the horse’s mouth itself. My sis’ friend said NOBODY STOPPED. There wasn’t a crowd of people looking, they were NOT concerned not to move her. NO CAR STOPPED. JUST LOOKED AND PASSED BY. FUCKING MALAYSIAN MENTALITY.
