what a year, what a day...

Things really could be soo unexpected.

Just realised that i had visited 4 different hospital this year... First SGH for my colleague, then TTSH for my grandmother (that long post below), last week Changi hospital for a friend, and now, Derrick at KKH..

Initially the plan for last friday was to go back SR to visit the OGL camp. As i was about to set off from my house to pick up derrick from Pasir ris park, his mum called and informed that he had hospitalised, due to his fits attack.

Thus, after the visit at SR we went down to see derrick. Although he was very much stablised, i could tell that he looked plain and was very tired... my heart really sank..

Still quite worried, i visited him again on the next evening (sat) with Dom & IZ, and on sunday again, with shufang. The good thing is that he was getting better on each visit after another. Especially for sun, he was more energetic after he got off the bed and started walking around... Guess he could have lied down too much too..

Thankfully, he was discharged on monday, and currently is resting at home. Please take good care, derrick, and rest more!

Sigh....from this i really how unexpected life can get. Someone could be ok this moment but something might just happen at the next. We really cannot take the people around us for granted and must cherish every time spent...

Further more, i felt for the parents too. For derrick's case, i can really tell how tired his parents are... all the rushing to and fro house & hospital and the worries... Further more, this is not the first time over the years too... Hope that they take care too...

And oh yes, how would i not forget his repeated "thanks for visiting" whenever we are there...If i'm not wrong he even went off to buy buns for us on sun....regrettedly i have to leave before he comes back 'cos i need to fetch my mum from work..

On lighter note, during the visit on sat Jasmine came down too, with her boyfriend. Certainly they brought joy along, from the humourous dialogs between she and dom; She even brought along a Kola Bear to keep Derrick company.. haha.. .And yes, they bought too 3,4 magazines for derrick, in case he's bored... From health to tv guide to automobile, all genres are covered..haha.

Jasmine ah, nice to see your boy oh... yandao eh.. hahah...

p/s:
Regards the OGL camp we visited, what i can say is that the 18th council are very good. Not only all of them made it through their promo exams, spirit wise they are high for it too. Many actually remembered us (esp. dom and pearlyn) Respects to the president Isa too... Not only he was cool and stable (and definitely a good PR spokesmen) , his leadership and organisation skills lead the council well....despite that times are harder now with more activities to organise and to even take care of both council and the Student leaders team (something new) as well. Kudos to him.

Indeed it' was heartwarming to see the 18th. Reminded me alot of those days when we were the 15th council...

damn, i feel old.
