14.1.12

No, Oma, no

I was on the train back, thinking about that can of abalone my dad wanted and playing Unblock Me at the same time. Suddenly my phone rang, and my sister broke the news,"Grandma has died, she's in the hospital A&E now." I was stumped. I didn't know how to react, I wanted to go down, but she asked me to wait for another call. Then after some discussion, we rushed down, most of my extended family were there. We waited for nearly 3 hours before we got any news from the doctor. Geez. But fortunately it was worth the wait, they managed to save her. When the ambulance arrived, she already had no pulse. It was said she choked on her food but she didn't have the strength or ability to cough or react. Grandma has grown old and a lot weaker these days. I am so glad she survived this black Friday - Friday, the 13th.

Grandma, thanks for coming back and we do want to celebrate the Chinese New Year with you.
