A Tragic IncidentI met Nicholas at sentosa on sat after a 6 month hiatus. The last i saw him was at the Christmas 2005 gathering at The Ritz Carlton hotel room. Anyway, was glad to see him after such a long time and he's even changed his car. That shows how long I haven't met him.
Anyway, if u look closely at my chin in this pic, u would notice a faint scar. Well, its a rather long story as to how i had gotten that scar. It's still quite visible now if u look closely at my chin. It's another one of the silly things elizabeth does, but this i would forever remember cos it is permenantly etched on my face......
I was slacking at home someday last year and was kinda hungry, so decided to cook myself instant noodles. Well, my elder sis and i never pour out the noodles from the pot after cooking them. Both of us always eat from the pot after cooking it. Call us lazy or wad but it was a habit she taught me saying that I would have saved the effort and trouble of having to wash an extra bowl if i had eaten from a bowl. Well, her advice brought to my demise eventually!!
So, I was eating the noodles out of the pot and watching tv at the same time, then, i placed my face near the pot so that the noodles won't drip all over the place while im eating it. Then, my chin sizzled on the pot that was still hot from the stove and i quickly ran to the bathroom and ran cold water on my scalded chin. I didn't know wad to put on my scalded chin, heard abt the toothpaste remedy but din dare try it, so i iced it instead.
But after that, my chin had a horrible scar and the scar was bright red from the scald in the initial stages. Imagine the fugly-ness i have to face everyday and the explanation i had to offer to everyone who asked what happened to my chin. I was sooooo afraid that it would disfigure my face, that i really took good care of the wound and even contemplated plastic surgery to cover the scar should there be one.
Fortunately, the scar was faint but still visible under scrutiny, that's why I have been tanning at every possible ocassion, cos so that the scar wouldn't look so conspicuous then.
Lesson Learnt: Never ever listen / believe / trust / follow what your older sibling tell you.
