in the hot seat next to the driver of an ambulance. Well, it happened that Sunny, our Club maintenance guy had a bad fall will maintaining the resort room aircon. He was bleeding from the back of his head when we rushed to the room. Sat him down and used towel to try to stop the bleeding. According to him, he fell from the ladder and blackout for a moment before he regain consciousness and called Jamie. I used the towel to press on the wound to stop the bleeding while getting Jamie to call for an ambulance.
The ambulance arrived and sent him to Changi General Hospital for follow up. I followed him so as to keep the GM updated. Hence I first time on the hotseat. Arrived at the hospital and I sat outside the resuscitation room while Sunny was given 3 stitches and had to be send for scan to assured that he was alright. He was kept under observation for 24 hours. While waiting for him, I saw many case coming in, though most was not serious except one that came with the siren wailing. When the rear door of the ambulance opened, the paramedic was carrying out CPR, it was a middle aged man in sport attire, accompanying him was a young gal in sporting attire as well. I guess they were having their routine jogging when the man collapse. After telling the nurse her NRIC number she started crying and calling for her dad.
Having seen all this cases coming in, seriously put me into deep and serious thoughts about life and what will happen to one next. As the saying goes, "Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is mystery, Today is a Gift, that why it's called PRESENT." Nevertheless, kudos to all the paramedics responding to all the calls and cases at all time 24/7 around the clock. My sincere and most respectful salute to you guys. ;p
After seeing Sunny in the observation ward, I left the hospital and went to 85 Bedok Market for dinner with Ruilong. Initially, more were coming back last minutes all put out left me and Ruilong. Again this put me into thoughts, our group is getting smaller, in the past we used to be able to gather strenght (number of people) in a short period of time and meetup for supper and coffee. Nowadays, after getting married and starting their own family, it's more difficult to arrange in such a short time frame. Well, guess have to plan ahead for the next meetup.
I am getting myself into some dilemma and serious (probably) problems too, lately after leaving the service, things doesn't seem to be smooth sailing for me. I kinda get extremely weary of my current job, couldn't get myself that ideal job I wished for, no responses from the many resumes that I had sent out. Also I am starting to miss someone whom I met recently for quite a few times, though we had known each other for years. I seriously dunno whether I should or shouldn't as I am worried that things might get complicated. I guess I shall deploy the best method in the entire world called time and nature. They shall show me the path....
