i thought i should update lest the day's event becomes just another lost memory in this head.
I got a chance to save a life, and I did.
And I feel good for doing so, even if it meant diving into the river in my tee and jeans and presenting my very wet self to the security and police officers and paramedics and whoever else arrived after that to get statements and details etc (girls, these days, i recommend wearing a bikini underneath just in case....!), and also to the whole class + lecturer Mr Phillip who rushed down to the scene thanks to Ollie and Illa who saw the whole dramatic event (yes my lil bunny Illa initially thought I was running like a mad woman to get a photo of the merlion!!!) and then to have the Chinese lady that I saved ask why someone saved her (yes, turns out she was on a suicide attempt, people).
so yeah, today was definitely very memorable. and the next person who asks me if I would do it all over again considering the dangers and everything else - why NOT? (but maybe this time I'd wear shorts or something less heavy instead?)
and God even gave me a lil bonus... for in the evening my very-much-missed husband called me (he hasn't the past week cos he was busy with the cruising).
:)
there, that's my Tuesday.
