While checking in...

so "fortunate"...and so "right on time".lol...today is the day i am returning home after more than half a year away from home. and this is what happened to me.

around 10pm...i arrived at the kl central, then after i confirmed with the officer at the counter that i can check in my luggage even though my flight is at 830 the next morning, i went straight to the check-in counter to check in.

everything was smooth, until i wan to take out my box and put on the conveyor belt for check in. the string on my trolley(for further illustration pls refer to pic below...)snapped and flung straight to my eye...then...

"bak", my right eye cannot see anything except white for the moment. my glasses broke and blood started to stream out.

at first i thought was just tears...then until the officer at the counter started to ask me nervously, "Sir, are u alright?". i said "i am fine.." but when i saw the blood on my hands, i asked for tissue...then the officer practically ran over the counter into the staff room to take some tissue. after not long, one crowd of steward and stewardess ran towards me and asked how i am doing and "escorted" me into the staff room. haha, was touched by their concern and care, i guess that's human's nature when they see a lot of blood gua...

so then i went in. they helped to clean my blood and check my eyes whether got any injury to the eyeball...thank God it was just some scratch at the area below the eyeball...

at first they wanted to call any relative in kl, but in fact i have none...lol, so they insisted me to go see the doc at the klia clinic...haha...so touched by their concern...lol...

so i went, the doc confirmed nothing serious, and gave me some antibiotics, pain killer and medicine to reduce swollen...and i really thank God i wear glasses, if not, the string would have hit straight to my eyeball, and thank God as well the broken pieces didn't piece through my eyeball...really thank God for the protection.

the stain of blood on the box...haha...still can see huh?

this is the "culprit"...the trolley with strings....the end of the string got the iron hook, that's the thing that hit my eye or glasses...

the wound...lol.my eyeball was red...haha...

what an experience huh? this year really "red"...haha...but indeed, thank God for His protection. Praise Him.Amen.
