In 2018, work had been a mess, customers called me in late nights to scold me for problems that couldn't be solved. Like F-35, we got the most sophisticated product in the world but because it is so high-tech, there are some complex issues that keep haunting us constantly. Customers sell our advanced products for fat profits and blames us for the smallest flaw.
Personal investments also tanked, lost almost a million, wiped out everything that I saved since working. Who will expect Hyflux to go bust?
Relatives and friends got sickened and hospitalized. Every few days, I am in hospital either visiting someone or doctor. Even for myself, doctors found tumours in my body for myself, fortunately it is benign. Waited 3 weeks for results from government hospital and I was lifeless during that period. I really didn't know if I can go for treatment if it was cancer because I had no time. I only knew that I had to prepare my will if the results were bad. I told myself to work even harder if it was cancer because I need to leave some money for my dependents.
Then, senior in my family got dementia. There's different themes. Imaginations went wild, one week is about kidnapping, another week is about spiritual visits, murders, theft, etc. Every few days, I got woken up at night because of sundown syndrome. My good wife also got to help clear the poo.
It is not that I didn't pray or donate to charity. But so scary, things just happened and keeps on coming one by one. My hands are full.
This week, Mr Kenneth Yen from Taiwan passed away. He is the President of car manufacturer, Yulon Motors in Taiwan. Last night, I watched his interview r4om a decade ago and there were so much that I could relate from the interview. He was like me now.
