Nastiest small injury ever.
I was cutting mounting boards in the studio when my left index suddenly felt funny, then I lifted it up to my eye and saw a nice little flap of flesh dangling off the finger. I forgot what I did but I think it was quite funny if someone else witnessed it.

I RAN out of the studio into the toilet and ran it under tapwater, shouting like "ARRG FUCK" along the way. Weird right, my first reaction was "WATER! Cold rainy day tapwater! On my freshly-cut flesh!". Hurt quite a bit of course, don't know where I got the strength to tahan the pain. Luckily Eugene and Andi came into the toilet and told a lecturer (Miss Huei) about it and she ran (yes, RAN) down to get a first-aid kit. I was squeezing the finger so hard to numb the pain till my (healthy, non-bleeding) hand got numb as well, Joash then came in and did the squeezing for me. Must be quite a sight for him right, can see the dangling flesh flapping around in the running water.

Then we got the antiseptic and bandaging part done and another lecturer, Mr Lau fetched me, Joash and Miss Huei to this clinic in Holland V. Not exactly the nearest ah but the doctor was pretty good. I had to get a anti-tetanus (i said anus lol) injection and when he was about to administer it, he stood about half a meter away. I said something like "Erm, why you standing so far away?", I was so worried that he needed the extra distance for a running start before stabbing me with the needle. Turns out he used some funky way to flick the needle into me but it didn't hurt like injections were supposed to. Wow it has been a long time since I've gotten a jab. Then my finger got bandaged up and it would probably take a week to heal, according to the comfortingly-optimistic doctor.

That's the poor guy. He's pretty ok but his friends are all laughing at his because he's all fat and mummified now. I have no idea what prompted me to write that. Now I can't type properly and the right index finger has to bear all gold-digging responsibilities now.

But that's not important. I have to thank the people whose names are mentioned above. Except for Andi, who basically came into the toilet and said "Ohmigod". No la, I kid I kid. Leon and Shang (two more lecturers) called after the clinic trip to ask about my condition. Nice lecturers I have right? Thanks to everyone.

On a very different topic, I have a couple of links to might interest you all.
Nice site with free fonts, for those who might need them
A little screwed up but there are some aweome surreal photo manipulation work here (NOT WORK-SAFE)

Stupid penknife.
