Last Saturday, some of my colleagues and I had a one day trip to Singapore, visiting our colleague (the popular XeerSoft energy booster), who is now in Gleneagles Hospital, Singapore.

She did an operation to voluntarily donate part of her liver to a 13 years old girl, whom she has no relationship or to be exact, a stranger to her.
She did this to save the girl as with her life motto of Never Try, Never Know and 反正不会死.

I feedback on her blog,

err, not sure if i convey my msg correctly, sounds not too right, anyway, i think the best description is….
you have no limit, nothing to scared….天不怕地不怕!!!

And she’s right, the hospital is like a 5 stars hotel! (except that they don’t have bathtub), otherwise the next time I am donating, I would request to go there too.

On Friday, I went bed at around 10pm, got wake up call at 1.45am, got picked up at around 315am.
Although I looked like having a good sleep during the approximately 6 hours journey to SG, but duh…my back is so uncomfortable and sleeping in the car of 5 is so much torturing. I was complaining, should have board Air Asia, can reach comfortably in less than an hour?

We totally have no idea the ways in Singapore. Luckily I brought the map and thanks to the surprisingly nice Singaporean who was driving a BMW 3 series, he kindly showed us the way straight till in front of the Gleneagles building. I have to say, Singaporean is much nicer than I already knew they are since 3 years back while working there.
This time going to Singapore after my last exit from the country in Jan, 2006, I was kinda excited.
Thought of having some of my favourite foods there (i.e. mee pok, mee hoon kuey, the japanese chicken satay), but time and energy was too much limited. Only managed to go Takashimaya and get some Toriyaki, the chicken satay. I bought about 7 sticks and finished all them by myself! Fat but who cares…

Okay, no more complains and foods, I’ve gotta say, the brief visit of Chew and the girl left me deep impression. Very deep.
Once we saw Chew, she looked dull and lost most of her energy. (she normally carries a 10 level energy with her all the times).
Well, what to expect for someone who had been operated for about 6 hours by 20 docs and nurses.
She can only have soft foods and fluids like soup, apple juice, and her lunch prepared by the hospital is like, mashed beans and potatoes.
She is tired but still manage to keep talking and talking for non stop. Salute her really.
As opposed to the five of us, we are like, don’t know what to talk. Only looking at her, feeling her pain, saluting her deed, admiring her angelic sacrifices.
I was thinking, her action made everyone rethink of themselves, at least to me.
Well, I don’t mind donating too, but it’s just a ‘talk’. Or maybe it’s because there isn’t anyone come to me and ask, ‘Can you donate your liver to me?’ Erm, yeah, maybe from now on, we can concern more on this kind of news, there are people out there who needs our help. To be able to save people’s life is so …. so encouraging, so happy, so pleasing…
We met the mother of the girl, she was taking care of Chew too.
She told us, ‘She saved my girl’s life’. I was touched deeply in my heart.
But I guess the moment my heart was really in pain and ached as if being taken out and got dumped into a pail of iced water, was at the moment when the nurse opened up the blind in the ICU room and I saw the unfortunate yet fortunate young girl right in front of my eyes.
She has fair complexion, round face shapes, round big eyes. She didn’t have much expression on her face.
Left us all speechless. Didn’t know what to talk again.
We only introduced that we were friends of Chew. Asked if she is still feeling pain. YR asked her to 加油.
My heart sank like Titanic after hitting on iceberg. God, I was so so so sad and feeling so bad.
Almost got my tears rolling down.
God, I pray upon you, please bless this girl. I will never forget her face and expression.

See, the pale Chew Chew and us.
