was thinking of changing my blogskin but not able to find sth that i like... prelims are finally over and my week is coming to an end yet again... this week really caused me to understand the meaning of you never know what will happen next.
mrs serene ng passed away due to complications on tues due to delivery complications, at the age of 32. attended the wake on thurs after physics paper. i felt a lot for the family - the father now has to take up the role of a mother as well and the 2 kids having to go thru life w/o a mum. i noe how not easy it is to be growing up in a single parent family. but i believe that theirs wld be diff frm my case as their grandmothers would be trying to fill the void. my prayers has been for ethan to get off the ventilator soon and to be alright even though he was a bit short on oxygen in his mum's womb. i also realized how noble a mum is to go thru the pain and risk to usher in a new life to this earth. at the wake, many cedarians came to pay their last respect to mrs ng. among which many cried. i personally teared when i heard of the struggle mrs ng went thru as she was in the hospital, waiting to give birth to ethan. my junior cried and she was saying that she is feeling really bad for always getting mrs ng to help her do things for the cca etc. but mrs ng was always willing to go the extra mile for us. she was a dedicated teacher. her maths lessons are one of the best. she was direct, frank, strict but yet, also loving at the same time.
learn to appreciate the people that you have around you. cherish every single moment that you have with them. live in the moment. don't let there be any regrets...
didnt manage to go for svc today as the bursary award ended late. alan kor happened to be there so we went to chinatown to eat and study after dat. the yu sheng is really yummy. next time gonna jio my friends there for supper. yummy. we took a walk after dinner to the mac den an old lady suddenly collapsed in front of us and she bled a lot. i was half-thinking if she was dead. think she lost consciousness. i dialled for the ambulance and they took slightly more than 5 minutes to arrive but they were really prompt in answering the call. thankfully the lady regained consciousness but she cant seem to know what have happened and she kept asking me 'zhe me hui zhe yang'. the auxillary police got us to shift the lady up but felt that we shldnt have done dat in case invoking a more serious injury. and it can be a criminal offence if anything untoward happened to her. the amount of blood was scary. got a call from the central police as well but they didnt appear on the scene. hopefully the old lady is alright by now. the paramedic smelt alcohol on the lady and the lady was saying that she dun have any children and was closed to tears b4 the paramedic arrived on the scene. she took out a social worker's number when we asked her if she had any children or next-of-kin. the whole incident was really sudden and was over in less than 20 minutes although it felt like eternity dere and den. my thoughts still drift back to the lady now and then, wondering how is she. and my hands seem to still rmb the blood that was on my hands, although it is no longer seen.
was a scary incident but yet, it somehow brought me insights of what i want to do in my life in future. not being a doctor or a paramedic but being a social worker, albeit full or part time. i'm challenging myself this coming hols to be disciplined and take up sign language and also a first aid course. at least when i try to rescuitate someone next time, i won't be prosecuted or anything.
and once again, it also brought me to the fragility of life. no one ever expected someone to fall after crossing the road and lose consciousness, bleeding since the norm would be us getting on our feet again. we never know what tmr brings. treasure what you have today, be serious with wat has been entrusted into ur hands. don't take reaching out for granted - you are responsible because of what you know. the sin of omission is greater than that of commission. gonna learn to cut down on whining and appreciate more...
life is too short to play a fool... savour the moments and treasure them...
