Live account of a near-death encounter (sounds serious but it could be): Was replying email 2 hours ago and drinking plain water from my water bottle when I started coughing. At that instance, I realised I was choking on water and could not breathe, my immediate response is to spit out the water on the floor. Went into a state of unconsciousness for a few seconds. When I regained my consciousness, I noticed I was laying on the floor .. still grasping for oxygen. I was moaning like a crazy fella in mental hospital cos I need oxygen desperately yet that moaning is without a sound (you have to imagine, I cant describe any better). I quickly found my way to stand up after one or two circle spins. After standing straight, told myself to calm down. Went for my window, opened it, and started to breathe slowly but steadily. Stood there for a minute before I convince myself that Im still alive and breathing. Lesson learnt: Be careful, dun choke on drinking water. Focus on one thing. Stay calm, it might be the key to survival. Feel blessed, God/Heaven lets me lived on for a mission I have yet to complete. Imagine I failed to regain my consciousness after those few seconds (actually I also not sure few seconds or many seconds), when I looked around me, things were in a mess and I have no recollection of how I messed them up, either when I fell on the floor or when I struggled to stand up. Or imagine my brain was out of oxygen supply for too long and I became a vegetable. Everything is possible. Count thy blessings.
