Just realized that I have not been writing much. My last post was like two years ago. Working from home today made me check my "forgotten" blog. Oh well, nope, I'm not dead yet (thank god)!
So, what can I say about 2020? Well to start of with, I got married! (yeayyyyy!!). Then right after a month, MCO started due to the "Rise of Covid".
Yeap, and the rest is history. We in Malaysia, still struggling to get rid of this as the cases are increasing day by day. Not only that, all my travelling plans for this year is gone into the drain for sure. My struggle does not even end there, it just about to begin.
I started my new job in April 2020 this year in the field that I love the most. Done 3 professional papers with good results and can use the title behind my name. Sayyyyyy whatttttttt! Okay so, that was a good thing right, but I have been struggling with the workload as I'm the only SME in my field managing the whole organization with 15 different departments. Yes, you got that right. My daily mail can reach to a max cap as I receive atleast 100 mails a day with "DIFFERENT ISSUES"!!!! Asked my Head of dept to hire a few more people in the dept, but oh well, no budget they say!
The worst thing that actually hit me real hard was my father's accident. A horrible accident that almost caused his life. So here's what happened:
I've just parked my car at the porch and was about to open my house door, got a call from my mum's doctor asking me why is my mum not answering his call. I thought it was some work emergency and I asked him what is the matter, he then said, please rush to Hospital Kajang as your dad met in an accident. I asked him how he got to know? He said my dad's boss called my mum's clinic to inform my mum as my mum was not answering the phone.
I thought it was a prank that is being played as I have received many such call before. So i hung up, called my dad many many times. No answer. Heart sank. Called my sister and asked her to rush to the hospital as they were nearer. Just right on time, my husband returned and told the whole thing to him and we then rushed to the hospital. Upon reaching, we straight went to the emergency. Saw my dad's boss "Miss Lim" and she said dad is very serious. I was like what actually happen. She showed us the video that was taken by some bystanders and ambulance was there. The road was full of blood and it was terrifying but did not have my father there as he was already in the ambulance.
My mum, sister, brother were all in panic state. Calls were made to my aunty and uncle to inform them about my dad. My aunty rushed to the hospital. Right after an hour and 45 minutes of waiting in the emergency section, one doctor called " Waris Bhajan Singh", my heart sank into the stomach and started beating fast. Went to the doctor and she said my dad is really serious and fighting for his life. I I then asked, what happened Doctor? She said its an open skull fracture and they can see his brain coming out. I was just like FUCKKKKKKK. My sister started crying. Being the eldest, I had to makesure that I don't breakdown and cry. Because if I cry, who is going to take care of my mum and siblings. I asked the doctor, what are his chances like. She said, for now the chances are very slim. He is very very very critical. Tolong doa banyak banyak. The doctor made me sign a few documents to give them approval to some medicine usage and they then explained the effects of it. She went back inside.
Went to my mum and she was looking at me with hopeful eyes and expecting me to say that dad met in a small accident that caused him to break a few bones and he'll be back home. I told her that dad is serious and the doctor asked us to pray. I've never seen her breaking down in front of us and she almost fainted. We started our prayers and hoping for a miracle. After another hour or so, the doctor came out and looked for me, I went and she said we're so sorry, looking at your dad's condition we have to transfer him to Hospital Kuala Lumpur as he will have to go thru a major brain surgery. I was puzzled, like why have to transfer him? She said because there is no any neuro facilities available at the hospital, thus have to transfer him. I then asked the doctor again, are there any other injuries? She looked at me and say yes. My eyes widened. Asked her what is it? She said dad has multiple lacerations on his body, his right hand just above the wrist big chunks is missing where multiple veins appears to be impacted and left hand elbow is dislocated. His left foot (ankle) has a big cut. I was like WTFFFF! What the fuck happened.
We waited from 8.30 pm till 2.30 am for his transfer to happen. We was not even allowed to see him during the waiting period. Only saw him being transferred from the emergency section to the ambulance. And oh boy, we were heart broken to see him like that..........
To be continued......
