Empathy..

Have you ever experienced a moment of intense sadness and vulnerablility that it rendered you speechless?

I did.

Last Sunday.

Let me tell you why...

A close family friend of my in-laws was in a comatose stage when she fell down while bathing on Saturday. Her daughter was the one who discovered her in the morning. So on Sunday, we went to pay her a visit.
I don't really know the details behind her illness but when I saw her lying on the hospital bed with all the equipments attached to her.. I don't think I want to know the details.

I don't know why I felt so affected by all of it.
I don't really know her. I even send her daughter (who is a member of a forum but I've never met her before) a PM to tell her how sorry I am about her mom's situation. Maybe it's because of me being too emotional. I feel for people's pain. For e.g. if I were to watch somebody pinch my hubby's nose really really hard, I can feel my nose twitch and it kinda hurt.
I still can't forget the scene from Hannibal where the guy's head was cut open to reveal the brain while he was still alive.. Yikes.... My scalp tingles whenever I recall that scene in my mind.
Or the scene in Saw where the doctor have to saw off his own feet in order to rescue his family.. *shudder*

Well, now that I've mentioned Hannibal & Saw, let me tell you something about myself..
I can never watch a horror movie alone. I really hate to admit that I am such a scaredy cat.. Hehehe..
Azmi have such a wild time scaring me out of my wits sometimes. Arrghh!
And I don't have the guts to play Doom3 again on the Xbox. I got hubby to buy it for me but the game have been sitting on the shelf ever since there was an incident where I nearly peed in my pants while playing it. Dang! Those zombies really give me the creep.. Hahaha..

Sshhh.. Let it be our little secret ok?

I think I better stop here before I spill out more unsavoury secrets about myself to you guys.. ;p~
