Just yesterday me n the Cmc guys were on the way down the escalator at vivocity. Suddenly, the excalator gave a slight jerk and right there below at the end of the escalator there was this kid size purple croc shoe and its broken strap. Someone was trying to flip the shoe away from the escalator with his feet, apparently to get it out of the escalator pathway. At first we thought nothing serious had happened, till we saw afew drops of blood on the floor. Omg ...
Another little girl has fallen prey to the excalators once again. I used to think that this kind of accidents arent that all common, and that the unfortunate kid who lost her toe to the escalator awhile back was simply, extremely unfortunate. But I think otherwise now that I've actually witnessed an accident myself. When i saw the girl my first instinct was to look at her toes (please dont ask me why ...) All there .. Phew ... Considering the amt of blood on the floor, I can say the injury was not a minor one either, but there shldnt be any permeanant damage done, I hope.
Wouldnt a simple matter of putting a rubber sheet on the ends of the escalator solve the situation? The rubber sheet would give ple enough time to react when they encounter the rubber. And since rubber is much kinder to the toes than metal, I'll guess there'll be few escalator accidents ...
Oh well ... enough bout tt ... on a lighter note, I'm happy to say that long after ORD, none of the cmc guys have changed much. haha ... Leng Chong's still working'ish, weipang still teacher'ish, weichang still 'strong and silent'-ish, Daniel still clueless'ish, qiaoyang still quirkish, Joel still guitar'ish, titus still stress'ish, Kimkian still slack'ish, Elaine still lian'ish and im still ... Shawn'ish? haha ... met up if the older guys at vivo and later the newer batch at downtown east chalet. All still the same, cept for the hairstyles and the fact tt Dr Kao is marrying soon ! Congrats!

Today's wushu training was held up by a cute cat which seemed to like to 'nest' on our bags. I call it Dm Jr after a certain somewho who lured the cat to sleep on my bag. Dm Jr also likes to play with my bag's strap with its oh0so0sharp claws ... I know so cos its claw went thru my track pants... ouch ...
Dm Jr getting comfy on my NTU bag. Luckily its free cos Dm Jr seemed to find the strap a tee bit tasty...
