man and body...

today my cousin got married.....dad's side cousin....see her at most once or twice a yr type....
so off we went to attend yet another wedding dinner...boring right? wrong....tis was more drama then i expected...

as the dinner started late...we were feelg quite hungry already...at least the couple had some frenz who could really sing so there was some real nice entertainment.....while most we craning their necks to see the stage and enjoy the performance, low and behold i literally saw my dad roll and fall off his chair!...wah lau eh! peng san attack #2!

mum was at his side at an instant, and so were a couple of relatives....helped him up to the chair and let him rest for awhile....face was darn pale....breathing was short......body was breaking out in cold sweat.....scary shit......after awhile he recovered enuff to tell everyone to continue to eat ...mumbled itz embarrasing ....soon made a trip to the loo....but came back complaining that he felt very cold...and could see he was shivering......
not a gd sign....we left ....got the hotel doorman's help...jump taxi queue....mum went w dad to hospital while i went to get the car and slowly weave thru' the orchard road jam...

this is the 2nd attack in 3mths.........1st time was scarier coz we thot he was having a heart attack...this time arnd...not so panicky....but still v worrying....
Despite all the technological/medical advances...itz puzzling when they still can't tell you for sure what is wrong exactly.....all the vital signs are ok......so itz back to the 'inner ear imbalance' again...so yet another apptm to see the specialist this wk..

The human body....more than the sum of itz individual parts....so complex yet works without us even trying...so strong yet so fragile....just one small particle dislodged in the inner ear to wreck havoc on the entire system.....so hard to fathom......

i also dunno why i can't drink....my mum can't either......looks like my dad has to lay off it as well.....he had some beer on a v empty stomach and that probably didn't help.....i think maybe itz genetic.......i've got an anti-alcohol gene....maybe someone shld fund a research to pinpoint the gene and cultivate it.........so can administer to those recovering alcoholics...just one jab of this and you'll lay off drinks for sure! think it'll be much more effective than AA.....

jokes aside...gotta take care of our health...with it all things are possible....
