I have a close colleague, he is going to have a heart surgery next Wednesday. He has 9 blockage on his heart arteries.. he is having a high chance of going into stroke if he does not go through surgery soon. The doctor at first wanted to just balloned out his blocked artery. It was in that process that they discovered he has 9 blockage (each is about 70-90% blocked), that they can't just do balooning, they have to do surgery. He was put on priority list, even that, he has to wait for 10 days later only can do the surgery, which will last for 7 hours... I guess it is a big surgery?
I wish he is alright... He is only 54... he didn't even have strength to talk to me on phone. We just rely on text messages to update each other. He is a good man. I hope he will survive this surgery with little or no damage.
I went to visit him at hospital over the weekend with Jay. Seeing he is hooked up with the heart reading equipment, makes me think of my dad again....
Lesson here is, eat healthy food. Do not hari-hari starbucks with 3 packs of sugar and 2 packs of milk. Do not A&W every week even though it is just around the corner downstairs our office. All these will come back to haunt you when you get older. Guaranteed!
Get well soon my friend!

每年至少做一次祥细体检！这正是你父忽略的要害处！ 大学当局每年的验血及尿原来是那么的随便，不负责任！珍惜生命!多吃自然的食物！
Malaysia really "tak boleh" in everything. 我以前认为中国是无奇不有。原来我们的马来西亚更上一层楼，什么懒样都有。
Hope your friend's surgery is successful and he gets well soon. Just curious, how did he find out about the blockage - is it through a routine checkup or did he feel unwell?
hey Mun,
He has chest pain. And it stays with him for hours and it won't go away... taht's why he went to emergency room and was being held for whole day to run all sorts of tests.
He should be fine. Hope he has a successful surgery next Wednesday too!
