what it feels like to fall off the top of a ladder

isnt it just the funniest thing? i just arrived back in singapore for the christmas hols. the family decides to wash off the mould on the walls... we've done like halfway round the house... n im sitting at the top of the ladder (=4-5m high), with the hose in 1 hand, chatting with seph whilst he is scrubbing... n the ladder decides to TIP.

First thing i see is the ladder all slanted, then i see lotsa leaves, then just ground. so i fell over the fence, into the convent's garden, n my left leg got caught in the bush, n i flip over, landing on my head... of all places, the genius that i am. n im like aoughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, clutching my head n extricating my leg from the bush, which i found out later, is full of thorns.

so chino is 1st at the scene, barking like crazy, n ginger was just in front of me, thinking what an idiot i am, then my parents come over. n they r like... go take a shower n then we'll assess u.

TOTAL DAMAGE:
swollen head [about a quarter of my head has haematomas]
headache [cos i landed on my head... duh]
earache... hahaha
upper back n neck r in tonic contraction, n so i cant really breathe. or move.
abrasions [just about everywhere... face, arms, back, hips, leg which is still bleeding after 5 opsites n a bandage]
extricated 2 thorns... 1 in my arm n another in my back... 1 of the thorns was about an inch long!

haha.... yeah... wasnt laughing then, but i sure am now. gosh... my family is hilarious... my mom asked my dad to check out my ribs n vertebrae cos i couldnt breathe right, n he's like later, cos he was cooking. had a fab dinner tho. n my older bro is like holding an ice pack to my head cos i couldn't raise my arms, n my mom's like massaging my back to ease the muscles, n seph is like staring in shock n sympathy, running around getting tissues, water, a chair.

next day, n everthing hurts more... great. my head hurts so bad now, n the stupid bush ripped out my hair, n i've just become more of a retard then i already am. then again. im now able to say that i've fallen off a ladder n survived. i just wont let on that the ladder was only 4-5m high, n pple will be like oh wow.
