a gd 28hrs after the accident, finally more assured, comfortable before sharing whats gg on.

it was at the hospital, while waiting for bro with the xray procedures then i realised everything happened for a reason, somehow.

here goes.

woke up at 11am plus, surprisingly mum called and we sorta arranged to have lunch together at xo meefen (ginza), totally unplanned. so we met up, had our fill and just as we are settling our bills, my fone rang. it was frm dad, abit puzzling coz 2mins ago dad called to talk to mum regarding what food to packet for him. so, he broke the news to me,"huan met with accident" holding back his tears, tho in vain, instructed me to keep the news frm mum.

i was stunned. trying to hold back the amazement, and at the same time trying to act calm, and trying to tp food for jin n mud. for a while, i was lost, dunno hw best to carry on from ginza back hall, i am trying to come up with a story to go back home to fetch dad, without losing my sense. hmm, think mum sensed smthing amiss, but i tried my best to feign along.

so i reached hall, drop food to mud, mind was full of things on hw to break the news to mum. as soon as im reached my own rm to grab the essentials, dad called again, this time telling me to hold back, not to head back home, go NUH instead, coz the ambulance wld head there instead.. ok, i went down, sat down at driver's seat, and told mum what happened, she flustered instantly, i cldnt hold back my tears. even tho dad told me huan is safe with only minor chest pains, the kind of feeling of loss is unbearable. so i told myself to keep calm again, driving safely thru pgp towards NUH. mum was totally clueless on hw to go nuh, and jus mentioned that if i am nt there, she wld be lost on hw to reach nuh.

we arrived nuh A&E earlier than the ambulance. mum was panicky, as soon as the ambulance reached, mum had all eyes at the door. tears start flowing when she saw huan walking out safely, motioning to her hes fine. i hugged mum, she kept saying, "你们不要吓妈妈。。 " for that moment, i felt relieved coz kor looks fine, sane and alive. thank god.

the day continued with all the adminstration procedures. xray, prescription etc. all is fine.

the seamless arrangements that bewildered me:
1. the unplanned lunch arrangement at xo
2. the exact timing dad called when we are done with our meal
3. the 2nd call from dad to head to nuh instead
4. i am ard to drive mum to nuh instead of her doing it alone
5. we waited less than 3mins before the ambulance arrived

like wat bro said, saf would be proud of the perfect execution of timing.

tks to those who cared, esp mud who called, 6th flers who sms-ed and the rest who msn etc.

i cldnt agree more with wat huan said in that last para of dat entry. live life with no regrets. yes i know, i am a fighter too, a yeoh fighter.

i am thankful for the close knitted family i have.
i am blessed with 2 inspirational brothers.
i am happy for huan n bid.
i am glad i am not rich, nt to be blinded by materials obsession.
i am ready for a new chapter of my life.
i am silly to squander a chance.
i am resolute to be a better man.
