Last week Tues (30 Oct 07), I was on the way accompany my Dear home... We had dinner at Bugis KFC then we took bus 852 to Thomson Road and change bus to bring her home... While we alight from the Thomson Road (near old police academy), walked along a path and intend to cross towards opposite road to wait for bus. The time was 8.40pm approximately.

I was bitten by snake when we walked into a path where there was no light shown on the path. Not bitten once but twice, first, I was accidentally step onto the snake's body and it got up to bit me. I didnt notice it was a snake, I released my foot and I thought that it was an insect bite. When I looked down and notice it was average size and about a meter long snake, it bitted me the second time. I quickly dragged her behind me and asked her to be careful but she didnt notice what's happening. She screamed when she saw the snake sizzling back to the bush.

She quickly hold and bring me back to the bus stop and sit down to check the wound. There are 4 holes on my right foot. She quickly use the plastic bag to tie up my foot to avoid poison from flowing to my heart and tried to call for taxi. After a few minutes, we were able to get a cab and brought us to SGH A&E...

Upon arriving the SGH, I was quickly send for checkup and immediately sent to the emergency treatment room to check for the condition. It was time 9.10pm when I was inside the room. I was injected a vaccine and my Dear nervously called my mum. After awhile, I was sent to the dressing room to clean my wound and about 10pm, I was sent to the observation room. This is where I met my mum, grandma and my Dear. My mum bring me a jacket.

I asked them to wait outside as the path was narrow and it was difficult for staffs to move around. In awhile, I was sent to x-ray department to scan for bone and I was sent twice because the radiologist forgot to scan another side of my foot.

When I back to observation room, it was somewhere 11pm. I asked whether I can accompany my parents outside since my condition was fine. The nurse allowed me. I went to find them and saw them sitting outside first row of seats. My Dear accompany me to buy supper for my grandma after buying hot drinks for them. We bought Korean instant bowl noodles, vanilla bread and pads for her needs.

We brought the things back and let my grandma had her supper. At 12.30am in the morning, I accompany them to taxi stand and seeing them taking cab to home. I went back to the observation room and play my nds game for awhile before going for urine sample test at 1.20am. After that, I lay down and sleep. It was a uncomfortable night, someone opposite sleep so soundly until I can heard him snoring and the doctor and nurse came to me to check on my condition every hour. I woke up at around 4am to take another urine test and went to sleep again.

I was told that I can discharged at around 6am in the morning but no one came to me for discharging me. At around 7.30am, I asked the nurse whether I can discharged? The nurse then send a group of attachment students from NYP to check on my blood pressure and the doctor came to final up my condition. She gave me antibiotics and pain killers.

I took cab at almost 8am and it was raining quiet heavy. I reached home, bathed and ate my breakfast then around 11am I went to school to do my e-learning assignments.
