Pls wake up soon

It was a terrible piece of news tat I received while driving. My heart sank upon reading the SMS from Fenny at the traffic light junction. Jessy was involved in a car accident. Her brain was bleeding and was in an unstable condition at ICU. And tts just hrs before her flight to Myammar for her long retreat.

Flashback: Last week, Shiongwei, me and Jessy were happily walking from YIH to the SRC carpark. I have offered to drive both of them home. We were all v happy to see one another back at DC as it reminded us of our schooling days. Jessy was urging us to continue NUSBS DC as she could no longer come down anymore. She has quitted her job and was ready to fly to myammar for her long retreat. The following day, I met her again at CMC meditation, Cheng Beng. We were arranging the meditation mats and cushions together, and she also shared her feelings on going for her long term retreat soon.

Jessy was in the same orientation grp as me during FOC2000. Jus days ago, I remembered one of the ice-breaking games we played at EA - which is to state 3 statements abt yrself (2 true, 1 false) , and ask the other grp members to guess which is the fake statement. Jessy pulled out a stunt by giving all 3 true statements. Frankly speaking, I didnt know if she purposely did that, or she really didnt know the rule of the game. But it was a memorable game for me.

And the 2 of us often joke tat we r probably the ONLY 2 ppl left in our batch of freshies tat remain so active in NUSBS after so many yrs since FOC2000. In fact, I see that most(if not all) of the freshies from our batch have drifted far away from Buddhism, except for Jessy, who has progressed healthily over the yrs in her cultivation. She even shared with me how she selects the various esscence from different buddhist traditions and put them into her practice.

Jus now, the 40++ of us were doing our best to chant for Jessy's safety. Various buddhist grps have rushed down after their individual activities to encourage Jessy to push on. She has completed her surgery but is still in the unconcious state. We all hope she wakes up soon.
