It's been a really bad day...

Adrian Wong · 21st Oct 2009, 11:09 PM

Sorry, guys, but I may not be around much these days... and it is very possible that the Tech ARP BBQ (The 2009 TechARP BBQ is back!) we have been planning may have to be postponed / cancelled.

Early yesterday morning, Jenny suddenly complained of a severe headache and within minutes, collapsed and started vomiting. I knew right away it was dead serious. I immediately called for an ambulance but bloody Maxis wouldn't connect me to 999!

Ended up using my landline to call for help. Unfortunately, the ambulance didn't know how to get here. I went out looking for it, and the ambulance crew and hospital kept trying to call me but guess what - Maxis kept dropping my calls!!!

My phone even went "off" the Maxis network several times!

In the end, I had to drive back to my house to give directions on the land line. Finally managed to meet the ambulance on the second trip out. By then, it was already what.. over 40-50 minutes since my first call?

She finally arrived at the Sungai Buloh hospital where they discovered she had cerebral haemorrhage, so she underwent an emergency operation to remove the blood and clots, to relieve the pressure in her skull.

She finally came out late last night... and is currently in the ICU. They didn't manage to get much out, only about 20%, and there's a chance of a rebleed... so I guess things aren't as rosy as we hoped it would be. But we will still hope and pray for the best.

I guess the moral of the story is that life is short and fragile.
