Chinese new year came and went... wasnt a fantastic one coz of the looming mocks.. had a shuffle in the places we went.. instead of going to my godma's place last, we went to my grandma's place last instead, which is so much better coz we can be wif our cousins. decided to watch "Just Follow Law" with my cousins and we watched the 1am show on the 1st day of CNY! how coooooooooool is that... 1st time i did it. haha. 2nd day, ppl came to our place.. but it was interupted when my uncle whos suffering from cancer bled non stop and had to be sent to the hospital. i rushed to his place from sengkang.. raining heavily, i din care wad speed i was going. at times i felt that the tyres had zero traction at all. kinda scary when i think abt it.. when i reached, the bleeding stopped. and he din wanna go hospital.. so things were back to normal. played mahjong wif william and ei hua and steph till 6am. slept..
awaken by my mum at 10, worse was to come, my uncle bled again, and also vomitted blood. as my dad was there already, we took a cab.. judging from the way my dad spoke, we tot the outcome looked gloom. i have to admit that i cried in the cab.. coz i am very close to this uncle.. ambulance picked him up rushed to CGH, he was saved. it was so life threatening that the paramedic told the ambulance driver, " can u give me 6 mins?!" and the driver agreed and zipped off.
My uncle is fine and well now.. the bleeding was caused by a major artery suppling blood to the brain. the doctors at SGH blocked the artery ( which could lead to paralysis) but miraculously, he survived it. without any effects. thank god.. sometimes i wonder.. he is in such pain.. does prolonging his life mean prolonging his pain too? i saw scenes that u only see in drama, like the doctor asking.. 'do u wan us to do nothing and let him bleed to death?', 'if we block the artery, how much effort u wan us to use coz he could be paralyzed or become a vegetable". questions like dis.. are super tough to answer.. hmmmmmmm i think dis is enuff for one post.. and in the next post.. i shall reveal wad i did in relation to this incident.
