What a trip..

I left for Shanghai again on 16 November for market visit and trade show. My schedule while there was packed! But the good thing was, the weather was really nice.. So shiok!

16 Nov : Flew Shanghai with China Eastern, flight was horrible. Was assigned next to this guy who has BO. Jumped to another seat not far, a Chinese family of 4. Sitting next to me was this Granny who suddenly felt sick. She puked.. Gosh! Arrived my hotel at 4.40pm. Met the Sales Executive and went out dinner with her. Night ended early.

This is the start of my nightmare.

17 Nov: Met up with 7 hotels in 8hours. Had dinner with 1 of our Shanghai hotel. By the time i reached my room, it was 930pm. Washed up, clear some of my mails, i slept at almost midnite.

18 Nov: Met my boss who arrived yesterday. Met our 5 top hotels, had business lunch with JC Mandarin (good buffet lunch) and dinner with the hotel we're staying. By the time, we're done, it was 9pm. Went back to my room, washed up, clear my mails. Once again, i slept late.

19 Nov: Went Sabre office. Had a wonderful business lunch with our new partner. after lunch, many hotels pop by our office for a visit. Left office for dinner with a Beijing hotel. Same timing again. My routine by now has been the same every night. Washed up, clear some mails and go to sleep after midnite.

20 Nov: Launch of CITM, a China trade show like NATAS Fair. Was there at 10am, walked and entertained, walked and entertained, walked and entertained till 4pm, left CITM and went back hotel to prepare for a thank you party. Party start at 6 and it ends at 9.30pm. And then, my routine starts all over again.

21 Nov: At CITM again. Same thing, walked and entertained from 10am and left at 4pm. Went back Sabre office to collect laptop and went dinner with our Shanghai hotel. Again, day ends late.

22 Nov: Went for a day trip to Hangzhou hosted by 1 of our top hotels. Left Shanghai at 8am and arrived back in Shanghai at 10.30pm. Finally get to see Hangzhou and its surroundings. When we were back in Shanghai, it was raining.. It was wet and cold, so uncomfortable.

23 Nov: Flying back to Singapore. Woke up early and left for Airport. Flight again was horrible! Old plane, no entertainment at all and Chinese auntie next to me? Puke too!!

Normal

Bravo to good health! That's the result of my health screening. Everything's normal. :) Thank you God.

But i must cut down my sugar intake, salt intake and oil intake. That means no bubble tea, no french fries and no oily food like char kway teow! :(

Review in 6 weeks

Thank God!!

My brother is fine.. but he has to be on 6 weeks medication and go back TTSH for a review with the heart specialist.

Lack of potassium will stop my heart from beating

My family got a scare today.

I received a desperate call from my mom. She called me on Joel's phone.

Mom: "How come you never pick up your phone?"

Me: "I'm having din.."

Mom: "Jeremy fell from bed and cannot move.. He is on his way to TTSH.. Can you.. (voice breaking) come.. TTSH.. quick?"

Me: "Huh...? OK!"

I quickly finished my dinner and ran to change.

When i reached TTSH, my mom sitting outside A&E. My dad is with my brother.

Me: "What happen?"

Mom: "I don't know.. Your granny called and told me Jeremy fell and injured his back.."

Worried and no update from anyone, i called my dad who was with my brother.

Dad: "Your brother.. Die la.. Going to be paralyse.. Must be he went drinking until he don't know what he's doing.. Die la.. Going to be paralyse.."

Me: "Can you stop talking nonsense?! What did the doctor say?"

Dad: "Don't know.. They're still checking on him."

Me: "Duh!"

After 3 hours hanging around A&E, we finally get to see my brother at his ward.

Me: "What happened to you?"

Jeremy: "I woke up this morning, trying to get out of bed, the next thing i knew, i fell and landed on the ground. I thought i hit my back.. I couldn't feel my limbs and i couldn't reach for my phone to call for help. I shouted and shouted but no one can hear me.."

Me: "How come? Where the hell is everyone?"

Jeremy: "Stepmom is sleeping, Minghui at school and Dad in his room."

Me: "No one can hear your shouts?!"

Jeremy: "Yup.. There is lift upgrading going on outside and they were drilling outside, so cannot hear. Then Stepmom passed by my room at about 4-5pm and heard me.. Then Dad came in and saw me lying on the ground."

Me: "Huh? That means you've been lying on the ground for 6hrs?"

Jeremy: "Yar, i was lying on the ground. I couldn't even reached out for my phone which was just above me. I couldn't move at all.. The medic thought i have neck injury and had my neck supported with the neck brace."

Me: "So what did the doc say? Is it because you drank too much last night?"

Jeremy: "No la, i wasn't drinking. Doc say my potassium was abnormally low.. And it has nothing to do with drinking last night. Doc cannot explain why my potassium dropped so much in a span of 24hrs. Anyway, i had 3 bags of potassium drip.. I feel much better but i still have to see the heart specialist."

Me: "For what?"

Jeremy: "The lack of potassium will stop my heart from beating.. So need to see specialist to ensure my heart is ok.."

Me: "....."

When i left for home, he was his usual self. Gotta visit him tomorrow.

Bless him, my Lord.
