I had 2 shocking news. One is about a student from Nanyang Polytechnic who took part in a Taekwondo competition and led to his brain dead. The second one was my mother's friend just passed away yesterday due to cancer.
For the Taekwondo competition, it appeared that the student was 17 years old who fought with his competition who is a 15 years old guy holding a red belt. This student was holding a green belt. He was kicked at the neck. After he was kicked at his neck, he stopped to adjust his safety gear. Shortly after he adjusted it, he collasped and was sent to hospital. When he was sent to the hospital, there was a blood clot in his brain. Although the doctor operated on him, there is no sign of recovery. He was in coma for 2 days before he was annouced brain dead. He had an older sister and a younger sister. His father had passed away and his mother was the breadwinner ever since. The student was very passionate about Taekwondo and signed up for lesson at Serangoon area as it was near his house. Right now, he is relying on the life machine to live on.
My mother's friend passed away last night at Tan Tock Seng hospital (same hospital as my grandmother who passed away when i was Secondary 2). She had the same cause of death as my father, Cancer. The doctor said that she had approximately six month left. Yet, she left before the six month ended. Her husband was really sad. This led me to think my dead father who died of Colorectal caner.

Life is really unpredictable.... Next moment, they are gone even though yesterday they were fine....
