Aliens.
Well, the literal translation for the Immigration Department here is the Alien Office. I was sposed to go there to register my residency in germany, but I still haven't gotten around to doing it. Oh wells. Heh. I have till the end of May anyways. *shrugs* But that's not the point. My boss is perpetually laughing at me and asking me what planet I'm from coz I still ahven't registered with the alien office. -.- Ok, moving on. Yesterday, I decided to take a break from work and go see the doc about my bruised arm. A couple of pple were telling me to get it checked (so kanchiong la!) and mommy was nagging me the most. So I took a walk down. Then the lady doc there exclaimed i needed to go for xray and there's the firemen driving a car from EADS already on the way to pick me up!! Like, huh?! I didnt even have my wallet, or my ID! Just my phone and my pass that lets me get into the office building!!! So they talked to the dude who agreed to drive me back so I could get my stuff and my Insurance card thingie. So they threw me in this place, where the Doc decided to xray me, duh. And so there I was, waiting, and he comes up with my xrays and shows em to me. Well, looked perfect to me, nothing broken. A lil bit of wear along some edges, but other than that fine. (yesh, teoh taught us how to read xrays, remember?) And this is what he said: Doc: "Hmm. You broke your wrist you know." Me!: "Har? What? But I can still move it! And I mean, it can't have healed in 10 days!" Doc: "No, no, not now, it's old. It's healed. You knew you broke before that right?" Me!: "No... I would remember breaking or hurting my RIGHT wrist coz I've always wanted to get out of school and writing. :S" Doc: "But it's definitely an old injury. See, these bones are the same length. This one is usually longer. And you see here? Something's missing." Me!: *blink blink* (Uhh, but if it's old how come it hurts NOW. My reaction can't be THAT delayed. --> but i didn't say that. Didn't wanna incur the doc's wrath. Summore it's harder to say these things in German u know. haha.) Doc: "So we'll splint your arm and put it in a half cast and we'll see what happens next week ok? We can tell then if it's an old injury or the new one." long pause..... as i think Me!: "uhhhh. can i choose the color of my cast-y thingie? *grins*" Bad idea to continue boarding after banging up my wrist I guess. But it was worth it. *grins* As long as I dun have to go for an operation (coz that would mean no more SQ!~ operations anywhere else is fine as long as not forearms, neck and face!) it was totally worth it la. Snowboarding was GORGEOUS!!! *grins* But anyway, missing piece leh!! How can something suddenly go missing from my wrist!!! And how can he try and convince me it was old! Contrary to what some people think, I could never forget hurting my right wrist. I played piano and had to write too many essays in school to yearn for a day I would sprain or bang up my hand. And that day NEVER CAME!! Now you tell me it did but I somehow healed myself in like 10 secs? Cannot be lor!! So my boss's rection was: haha. Did you tell them you have yet to report to the Alien Office? Coz maybe that isn't so weird if you're not an alien. -.- And it's ok if the bone's shorter than it's supposed to be. You're shorter than you're sposed to be too! And, h's theory is that the doc thought I was some lil girl and wanted to stop me complaining so he splinted my arm up and shushed me instead of explaining it to me. And me asking for a color didn't help it. -nyeh- And even better, he said the piece was prolly missing all my life. SO no point worrying. How can that not make me worry MORE!! Basket!! Always happens to me leh!! Last time I freaked daddy out with my 90 blood pressure. Now I have to tell them I have a missing piece in my hand. Haha. Gosh! Wonder what else I'll find. Mebbe I should go for a full body xray man! Then they might find all the missing pieces stuck in a corner somewhere and then they can take it all and add it to my height so I can go back home and fly for RSAF! Hah! So now it's just a waiting game. Ladida. :S In the meantime, I have a cool weapon. That's RED! (Coz they didn't have pink. Tee hee.)
