whiteout. physics spa.

Something really terrifying happened today.

It was during assembly, while the national anthem was blaring, i’m had this really painful stomachache, like a really sharp pain, followed by patches of white appearing in random spots in my vision. And it’s not the small streaks of bright light that cloud your vision after 2.4 or eng peng’s pe lesson, it’s like a few white supernovas that expand to cover your whole field of vision. It’s seriously like going blind, IT WAS FREAKING SCARY.

I tapped weijian on the shoulder and told him i was going toliet but at that point i couldn’t see him at all. I stumbled over to mr yew’s distinctive outline (so glad he’s short for once) to inform him i was going toliet and heard zhongxi saying i look pale, but i really couldn’t see him either. I could hear him clearly though. Then i climbed up the slope (imagine if i really blacked out on the slope, then i would roll all the way down man) and made my way to the toliet. I prayed and my vision cleared up while making my way there, thankfully. Then i settled the stomachache the traditional way and made my way back to class, slowly of course. All this time my face felt like the blood was draining out and i felt really sick.

Wikipedia says, “Surprisingly, even during a heavy grey-out, where the visual system is severely impaired, pilots can still hear, feel, and speak. In other words, complete grey-out and loss of consciousness are separate events.” They’re not kidding, i can personally vouch for this. I could hear every single note of the national anthem, but every single thing appearing WHITE to me. Omg it was terrifying. I’m soo glad i can see again. Seriously thank God for helping me get through this ordeal. :)

Phy spa was quite easy cos the question leaked as usual lol, but my graph was opposite from almost everyone else’s, except nadiah’s. I think i measured from mmin resistance instead crap. Anyway what’s over is over so yeah. Life goes on.
