I will never forget that day in my life.
Till now, it is still vivid in my mind.
13/04
Ah Gong admitted to SGH due to bowel problems.
My dad was there & mentioned everything was fine.
14/04 & 15/04
3am house phone ring. 叔叔 called and say that hospital told him to come SGH immediately.
critical condition for 公公...
I rmb.. i just reached home, abt to use laptop , chrg my hp etc...
upon hearing the news, me and 爸爸 pia cab immed to SGH..
was also trying to reach my 姑姑 at the same time.
Doc says intestines are dead.
2 options left.
1) left him die painfully
2) Operation to chk on the intestines situation. if possible, will remove as much dead intestines as possible.
公公 originally dun wan to have the op. but we managed to convince him otherwise and he agreed to it.
Cant rmb wad time the op started. Every body was there.. Hoping for the best.
Op ended ard 11am+. Surgeon was hopeful. said that op is successful as they managed to remove the dead intestines. all that left is to wait for 公公 to wake up inside ICU.
Seeing that everything seems fine, all left SGH to get some rest.
For me, i went to meet YF & Alvin.. lunch with them as a way of an early bday celebration for Alvin.
On my way back, 叔叔 called me asking what time will our family be back in SGH.
told him we will be back in the evening and he told me a piece of news.
公公 woke up !!! but, due to the fact that he was trying to remove the oxygen mask & life support thingys, doc gave him a shot of anesthesia and he fell asleep again =(
Upon reaching home, bathed and after a change of clothes, head back to SGH with my family.
all are worried..
we keep going into ICU and asked 公公 not to sleep anymore.
especially me. i think i spent my time more inside ICU than outside @ the waiting area.
my 大伯 came back from Taiwan also..
we keep telling 公公, about how i wanna go China with him, meet our relatives who were there as i have not been there yet.. and also, how i will be the one pushing his wheel chair for him.
also talked to him on how when i was young, he will always push my baby chair..
this i will never forget as he always like to bring this up.
for some reason, i kept on looking at the equipment monitoring the heart beat & blood pressure.
his heartbeat was staying between 50 - 60.. so whenever it dipped down to the 40s, we were getting emotional all over again..
didnt went home and was @ SGH throughout...
went down to Cheers and bought $30 worth of food..
went back to ICU ard 1am+ (15/04)
my dad was inside..
we were both talking to公公 while the nurse draw some blood.
immed after she remove the syringe, his vitals went haywire..
I saw.. I saw.. I SAW his heartbeat going up and down..
dropped to 20+,and then 0.. rise up to 200 as well..
i was shocked.. feeling that something bad might be happening, i ran out of ICU to call everybody into the ICU..
blinds were down, but... .. ...
alas..
1.42AM.. he passed away T_T
everybody broke down..
many things happened..
doc says we cant get the obdy back immed..
need to send for autopsy as patient died within 24hrs after coming out from surgery..
Ah ma was devastated.. Doc explained that it is needed as it is stated BY LAW..
hence, we can only retrieve the body in the morning ard 9am+ at the mortuary
All went home.
i went with 爸爸, 叔叔 they all back to ah ma hse to prepare for funeral.
was searching for caskets.. blah blah blah.
caught 2hr sleep and the rest is history...
4days funeral.. Buddhist mixed with Taoist type of funeral..
19/04
last day of funeral..
went Mandai Crematorium to cremate the body in the morning.
went back in the afternoon to "pick up" the bones.
transferred the bones into an urn and brought it to 三清宫 located at Bedok North Ave 4...
basically thats the story..
Though im still not done.
was quite unhappy at the way how my 姑姑 family do things..
公公 in ICU = critical condition, yet still can go watch movie..
prior to tat, keep calling her house n HP, cannot get thru..
best part, at night cousin still dun wan come see 公公 for the last time!
giving a lame excuse that need to study for exams.
last day of funeral also never turn up as well coz of exams.
this is a funeral leh. your relative pass away leh. not any tom dick or harry ..
im sure the school will understand and let you sit for exam again at a later date right ?

dunno wad are they thinking..
make my blood boil..
