Re: Life as a Limo Driver
The hotel room phone rang continuously and woke me up from my sleep
Me “ yes ‘ Yoko “ i try calling your HP couldn’t reach you. The doctor called. We are required to head down to the Camden .” I rushed to get dress and meet at the hotel driveway. In less than 10 mins we were at the lobby of Camden Medical Centre. Me “ u head straight up i will parked the car” Yoko rushed out and head straight to the lift lobby. We were not allow in and was told by the staff nurse that the doctor is in the room. Apparently, Miss V blood pressure drop drastically and she has not gain conscious yet. We waited abt 45 mins before the doctor come to speak to us. He spoke directly to Miss Yoko while i stood beside listening. From what i gather the outlook doesn’t look too good. The doctor says the next few days were crucial. If Miss V doesn’t gain conscious, the possibility for recovery might be slim. Miss Yoko thanked the doctor and we proceed to stand outside the ICU unit looking through the glass panel. After 30mins miss Yoko pull me out. She handed me a letter. Yoko : “ Miss V had prepared this letter in advance. Should something like this happening this letter was to be passed to you.” I took the letter . Miss Yoko excused herself and head back to the hotel on her own. The letter was sealed and i recognise miss V hand writing on it “ CHARLES” I open and read it . It states that should she be in coma , she doesn’t want to be on life support . that is the reason why she want me to be her LPA. It also states that Miss Yoko is the next CFO as such she cant be appointed as the LPA . it ended with some very intimate/touching word from her thank me for the time spend with me in Singapore. She asked me to be strong and to made know her final wishes to the doctor. After reading i just sat down on the floor in shock. Realizing that an important decision has to be made. |

Re: Life as a Limo Driver
After three days there wasn't any sign of improvement .
I arrange a meeting with Miss YOKO and we had a talk abt it. Miss YOKO was on the fence on this matter. The ball came back to my court and I had to make a decision. Had a another round of discussion and finally I told the doctor what miss V had requested for. Doctor gave his expert point of view and left me to make the decision. It was a Friday morning when miss YOKO and I gather back in the ICU room. Together with the doctor , we were there to Witness the process. I held on to miss V hand while the doctors gave her a jab. Slowly they removed the life supporting machines. The doctor gave me some time alone before he tab me on my shoulders. Doc " I need to do a final examination " I release miss V hand. The doctor announced the time of departure and the nurse took down notes. Miss YOKO accompany me out and took over from there, She had everything plan out and the funeral casket staff were already on standby to assist. The wake will be one week long as several VIP are flying over to pay their respect. |

Re: Life as a Limo Driver
Dear Bro Tiger,
i am profoundly sorry for your loss. I do hope you have mustered strength to carry on with life. I lost 2 close relatives at the prime of their lives in their late 20s to early 30s. I feel the pain as I was very close to both of them. May you find meaning in all these unhappiness. Cheers |

Re: Life as a Limo Driver
The funeral casket company managed to get a venue in a church compound. It was a separate annex building. The compound was large enough to cater for human and vehicle traffic flow. The funeral casket ppl were out on full force. I was sure that miss YOKO had requested for the best service they could offer. I sat right at the back of the hall and observe what was going on.
I was tasked by miss YOKO to safe guard the in coming cash donation and cheques. Every night miss YOKO company staff would hand it over to me once they double check on it. I would then place it the safe in the hotel room . On the final day i wore a suit. I got Mr Z to provide chauffeuring service for the day. Mr Z arrived in a black benz. I open the back door for miss YOKO while I took the front seat. The guest were given a chance to pay their last respect in case they didn't want to proceed to Mandai for the cremation service. The coffin was lifted up and place into the hearse. Mr Z inch the car at snail place following behind as miss YOKO and I sat In the car. We arrived about 5 minutes earlier and were on standby just outside the hall , waiting for the hearse to arrive. A waiting crowd has already gather. After witnessing the arrival of the casket, we were directed to the Hall. The VIP had usher to direct them to their seat. A senior guy in uniform got my attention .. " sir row two on the right side of the hall pls" Miss YOKO delivered the eulogy. Guest and VIP were given white flowers to place on the casket for the final farewell. Miss YOKO pull me aside and whisper .. YOKO " we will do it last " I just stood beside her and waited . When everybody was done, the funeral director came over and gave miss YOKO a white rose. While I was given a red rose. Immediately the hall filled with loud whisper and curious stare ! Miss YOKO went ahead to place her flower and stood back in line . I step forward, look thru the glass panel and whisper softly... " I will see you up there " Place the red rose on the coffin and step back in line. A male NEA office came in and push the coffin out while we proceed to the viewing gallery. The viewing galley hall was packed , still miss YOKO and I managed to find a spot in front. A robotic machinery inch the casket slowly towards the front . The door open and in the coffin went. I raised my right hand and bid my final farewell ! |
