When I was 38, I had a cerebral vascular accident (or layman term : stroke). Before I had the stroke that day, I was managing 2 companies for a very successful business man in Asia. One of them was a franchise computer school and the other a computer retail store. Though I was born with congenital heart disease, I had always been very healthy and took great pride of my health !

At our 20’s, we both had the world under our feet : me, a CS grad. from Sydney University from Australia ; she, a CS grad. from Princeton. But, my world fell apart after the stroke as I lied on the cold hospital bed having Hemiparesis.

It was hard for me to accept the fact that I once was a globe trotter but had to face a world full of uncertainties half paralyzed ! Before the CVA, this was my life : [truly why would a woman need a man when she’s so self sufficient ?, well, that was my thinking then.]
