well , something 'untypical' happened today. I was travelling on the bus while on my way home from work , about to doze off with my headphones plugged in nicely when i thought i heard someone scream and i dissed it as sound pollution from the ever-irritating TVmobile ( personally , i feel that TV should be banned from buses. What the hell , just because there's big bucks to be earned from commisions from advertisments does not mean compromising the comfort of US commuter. bah. ). OK , i digress.

So as i was saying , er , yeah the screams. So i continued leaning against the window while drifting off to the soothing melodies from Metallica. Just kiddin. It was just some random song burned from my computer. DAMN. am i having a short attention span or what !? BACK TO THE TOPIC. The screams went on and i dismissed it as a baby cries instead of the TVmobile so i wasnt very affected by it but abt 5 sec later i decided the screams were too shrill to be comin outta a baby so i took a look around and my jaw dropped wide open. there was a lady sitting behind me and she was screaming her head off while she thrashed about in her seat.

By then the whole bus' curiousity was aroused and everyone was looking at her when two kindly passengers stepped out and went forward to help her when i got up to hold her up as she was really shaking too wildly and threatening to fall off her seat at anytime , which she did however. By then it was rather clear that she was having seizures , or convulsions if you will.

Well the whole sight was not a pleasant one as she was all balled up in a foetal position , her teeth gritted menacingly and her whole body went rigid after the spasms. Some dim-witted ( but with gd intentions lar ) passenger shouted for the two guys restraining her to put something in her mouth lest she bites her tongue off which is the most stupid thing to do cuz she wasnt even tryin to bite anything , obviously not with her teeth gritted so tight together. So the intelligent passenger found a straw and went on to force it between the teeth. GEE , like a straw would help. anyway the last thing u should do when helpin some1 with a seizure is to stuff something into his/her mouth , contrary to popular belief. Only in very rare occasions then would the patient try to bite his/her tongue off lar !!!!!

ANyway , a few min later , this lady sudddenly went back to normal and apparently she has NO IDEA of what happened because the next moment she sat up , she was tryin to tie her dishevelled hair into a ponytail. Either that , or she's utterly embarrased and tryin to hide it. Well she looked dazed and disoriented , apparent when she stood guard by the exit door as if tryin to alight when we were in the middle of an expressway.
