Hole punching

The following post is not suitable for the fainthearted but it's quite educational :P 

Something happened on Sunday, and it causes me to add a label called "painful experience" in my blog.

It was raining yesterday. Mum wanted to cut some vegetable from her vegetable patch to put in her soup. I offered to do that for her. So i held a pair of scissors and umbrella in my right hand and off i went to the slightly flooded garden.

When i knelt down, the sharp point of the scissors sank into my thigh. Yes, it went into my flesh effortless and it kinda felt like, sinking a knife into a soft pudding! 

I didn't panic, instead I pulled the scissors out, stood up and walked into the house to look for ointments. Oh my, I've punctured my own thigh! There is a "small hole" now.  It looks like tiny lips. When I moved, it would 'open' and 'close". Anyway, I cleaned the fresh wound with tea tree and a few other ointments and then bandaged it. My mum asked me what happened and I explained to her calmly. Maybe because i seemed so cool,  She thought I was joking haha...  You know what? The stabbing scenes in most movies where blood splashes out immediate is FAKE. It took a minute (i think) before i saw red. I wish I didn't have to confirm it by stabbing myself T____T

my wound... covered

initially i wanted to post a picture of the 'lips' but decided not to as it looks kinda scary. don't wanna scare u hehe

So I experienced 2 things in one incident - how it feels like to stab and be stabbed at. I know it's crazy and not something anyone wants to have experience in but sigh... one just needs to learn something out of an incident to make it a worthwhile one right? 

I've self-inflicted a lot of pain on myself that I think I'm becoming immune to it. Gosh, when will I learn???
