my daddy passed away on 08/07/07, at 10.23am peacefully, he's 42 Years old.. he left with a silly grin on his face. as suggested by my aunt, (my daddy's sister).. i guessed it looked cute, and he looks gleefully happy, perhaps finally letting go of all he's holding on in the past 7 days...

he suffered from brain aneurysm, more info can be found in the website link. this is not a disease, or a virus attack, nor a heriditary illness, or a long term illness i should say... its an an abnormality present at birth, my daddy's lower brain's blood vessel is thinner than that of a normal human being, that results in the possible aneurysm that caused the blood vessel to be "ballooning-out of the wall " as stated in the website listed above..

the ballooning blood vessel suddenly broke and he suffered a stroke kinda, and went into deep coma. thru the 7 days in SGH, he lost majority of his brain functions, and started to expel all fluids from his body out, including major gastric juices and all the nutrients needed to maintain his bodily basic needs, such as potassium, sodium cholride, and glucose. no matter how much the doctors gave him, he juz excreted all out by his uncontrollable bowels due to brain function lost.

eventually during the last few days of his life, his blood pressure was going rather low, and doctors had to provide with the relevant medicine to sustain his blood pressure, either pushing it up, or lowering it down if its too high, so all is actually controlled by the doctors and the amount of medicine provided. so at morning of 08/07/07, which is yesterday, the blood pressure medicine actually didnt work on him anymore, and his blood pressure came plummetting down, and his heartbeat eventually came to a stop... i was beside him when this happened...

i was devastated, but nevertheless, if fate decrees, thy shall not oppose it.. i've seen things in new light, thru these days...

had he knew he had this brain aneurysm, there might still be a cure for it.. but he didnt noe about himself having this i guess.... no one knows for sure, coz no one does CT-scans of their brains at birth right... the cure, there is, as below:

"Brain aneurysms are generally treated surgically. A metal clip is secured around the base of the aneurysm. Another type of treatment involves 'packing' the aneurysm with microcoils (small, flexible wire coils). These are delivered and inserted into the aneurysm using a catheter."

and there's even a newer solution to it thats introduced to singapore, which is the merlin's stent technology, which more information can be googled for at Google.

anyways the wake is held at Block 126 Bukit Merah View, at the Multi-Purpose Hall located right next to a Playground, and Block 126A Multi-Storey Carpark. Nearest MRT station to here is Tiong Bahru. so anyone who would like to pay my father respect, would be most welcomed.. thanks to all my friends also... any information, feel free to call me. The wake will be around from 08/07/07 - 11/07/07, whereby the cortege will be leaving on 12/07/07 at morning 11Am, targetted for Brighthill @ Mandai, for cremation.

i'm actually at the wake here while blogging this post... just thought i'd write out what has happened these days, i haven been to school or been in contact with many friends....

Loves, derrick out.
