Interesting introductory show on cna. たくさんおもしろい橋。shizuoka no oi gawa to kyoto no shira gawa. The bridges jus tempt one to take a stroll and to sit by the rivers to enjoy the peace the river brings. Crossing every bridge made of wood, constructed in its unique manner, along the different section of the river guarantees different experience and different views of the landscape. the bridges were used by farmers to reach their farms. nice countryside prefectures.
a suitable analogy i thought for the myriad of activities thus far, tho only 3 days into march. Of cos much was rolled over from feb. Again shows why procrastination can be disastrous. Not exactly intentional, jus refusal to extend the hrs in feb. amazing statistics from the white paper that a substantial number of singaporeans do overtime. A familiar scene in tokyo when i looked up their office buildings at about 9pm at night 6 yrs ago. The same view of the white collar workers burying their heads at their desks. They can be seen from the roads through the glass facade of the buildings in changi business park too.
forced myself to take up the pmp, knowing that i will jus be courting death. But again i will never have this "freer period" anyway. Lets jus try, body, mind and the soul. Now or never. The last time when i had almost 0 me-time was 10 yrs ago. The only me-time was the few minutes jus before drifting into slp. I jus have to be organised and deal with each task separately during that allocated amount of time. Slowing down info processing. Turning to the basics, jus the facts, not opinions. Jus crossing each open bridge and enjoying the view of that alone. Move on to the next bridge and soaking in the experience of the next.
1 mar. Was lucky to skip the bkk retreat in a sense. Chichi slipped and fell off the platform jus outside the cargo door of the 777. gosh. Witness said he was unconscious for 2min before recovering. Kudos to the fire brigade and rmg ambulance who sent him immediately to cgh without half an hr. waited for almost 9 hrs for the darn bed. Of cos we were swearing in silence for the consequences the flood gate brought. The rest of it is waiting. And chatting with some concerned medical officers n some impatient ones as well. Witnessing other unfortunate cases at the resuscitation room. Pray that they rest in peace. So went back office. Finished some stuff asap while answering calls from dad's colleagues asking for his condition and ward number. N then rushed back.
Fortunately he has the helmet on. Hit his right cheek and injured the kidney. Irregular heartbeat due to atria fibrillation. Hopefully it is due to trauma, n it will recover on its own thereafter. Really dun want him to be on perpetual medication to control the heartbeat rate. As usual, sceptical of what the docs say. They dun really seem to communicate. Reminded my dad to chk what are the medicine for and not anyhow take. Of cos it is prescribed for his own good, but sometimes if it is not necessary, spare the liver. Quite a few specialists, heart, kidney, plastic and general ones. I wonder what they wrote in the reports, cos everyone came and ask the same questions. Even the nurses, maybe they try to make sure his brain is working, but cant they talk abt other things? And read the reports instead of asking. I doubt they r identifying inconsistencies in his statements. He is obviously losing patience in repeating so many times. Giving shortcut answers. Anywhere pain? He said no. I was like didnt u complain the entire night of pain at the back and abdomen?! Sigh. Prolly he knows they r jus gg to give more painkillers. He wanted to hammer one who cant get his blood out. Poke in and out. Now u know why the hooha over the comment of nurses being xxxxx-skilled workers. They r really impt. Their skills make hell lot of difference.
Rained heavily in the evening. We watched the rain drops flowing down the glass panes. Then with the tv sounds running in the backgrd, i opened up my laptop, looking up at him occassionally. After much fidgeting and sighing, he finally went into slp. I worked in darkness except for the light from my laptop screen. Good time to complete the work. I probably wouldnt be able to make it at home or in office. Then finally went to slp too on the sofa. The nurses came in every 2 hrs to measure blood pressure. I jus eavedropped with my eyes remained close. Why r they so interested in how he fell? He didnt bother talking much.Like my bro said some jus talk like there's no tomorrow. and they like to ask if it is painful. Dad jus replied: Flesh leh, of cos la. Rhetorical.
Took a morning walk downstairs to grab some food after he had his congee and then the system that limits the no of visitors and preventing entry outside visiting hours is jus creating more jobs for pple at the registration counters. Hope to leave here soon. But they said smth abt stroke prevention by thinning the blood too. Got to see how tmr.
Oh yea im really impressed by the sound hound app. The upgraded version has the lyrics in built and moved accordingly based on the rhythm. The great escape.
Hope we can do the great escape by visiting the bridges in shizuoka soon. Meanwhile shall jus cross the virtual ones. Ganbarimasu.
