I went over to visit granny after dispatching some documents. It has been 2 days after her operation and I have not visited her since. Upon arrival the hospital, I was pretty glad to see her looking much healthier. She has been lying in bed for 7 days now and hasn’t been out of her bed. Hence, I gave her a good massage so that her blood will circulate and she wouldn’t feel so numb.

Shortly after, I was chatting with my Small aunt and found out from her that my mum’s brother had passed away. I was bewildered; why wasn’t I informed by my mum instead. I called up my mum to check if it is true and found out that it was my 3rd uncle who passed on.

Immediately, I thought of going down to help out in his funeral but was taken aback by my aunt statement. She told me that if I were to help out in the funeral, I am not supposed to visit granny thereafter. It’s the Chinese traditional thinking that when you visited a funeral, it will bring along something bad. Hence, it is not advisable to visit granny.

Of course I do not believe in all the myths but I sure wouldn’t anyone to be angry with me. So I’ll heed their advice and will only visit granny upon her discharge.

When I was to leave the hospital, there was a sudden change in weather. Lightning was piercing the sky, thunder roar so loudly that I can feel vibration on the glass panel that I'm resting on. It's somehow like the scene of "War of the World". Haha!

The downpour lasted for around 30min before I can set off to my 3rd uncle place. It was really a tough decision; to choose between visiting granny and going over to mourn. But I choose going over my 3rd uncle place as this will be the last time I can visit him.

It has been close to 10yrs since I last met him. We did not keep in contact ever since my family shifted out of Tampines. We were all busy with our individual stuffs. Even during New Year, we never visited each other. Sigh...

I know that he is in GOD hands now. He has found peace and is relieved from the sufferings from the heart disease and diabetic he had.

Amen.

Operation

It was found out on Saturday afternoon that Granny had cancer. As recommended by the doctor, she underwent a scope into her stomach and found out that there are cancerous cells located somewhere near her rectum.
When we learnt about the news, all of us were lost upon receiving the news from the doctor after the scope. We were all thinking that granny is so old now and still have to go through all these suffering. During the scope, she also underwent a couple of tests and scans. Thank GOD that her cancer is intact in her large intestine and the doctor strongly recommends her to undergo a surgery before its spreads.

We were all really worried if her body can undergo the surgery. She is 88 years old after all. Thank GOD that the tests she undergo shows that she is very strong and hardy. =) As compared to any of us; youngsters.

We only had a few hours to make the decision as it is better to rectify the problem earlier so that she wouldn’t have to undergo the pain and suffering again. We really spent a lot of time going through all the possible scenarios and consulted the surgeon for the answers. He is really confident that granny operation will be success; <95% chance.

Upon receiving the answers from him, we came to a conclusion to let granny go for the surgery. We are really convinced by the surgeon and have trust in him. Of course we also pray hard for granny safety as we know that FATHER will shower her with blessings and place His healing hands on her.

Granny's in ICU... =(


I was so tired that I knocked out instantly when I reach home after my visit in the hospital. Somehow or rather, I woke up today remembering vaguely that someone informed me that granny was admitted into ICU ward. Throughout the day, I thought it was a bad dream I had. Only later than I realise that granny was really admitted to the ICU ward.

Upon receiving the call in the middle of the night, my sister came over my room and informed me the news. I thought I was actually dreaming then I knocked out again instantly. I'm a heavy sleeper and seldom will I be awaken during my sleep. Hence, my sister make her way to the hospital on her own.

Before her admission into the ICU ward, she was groaning in pain and the doctor gave her a dose of painkiller. The medication was too strong for granny and her heartbeat stopped for a while. Thank GOD that she revived after the emergency.

I went down to visit granny after work and got a glimsp of her report. It was found out that she have a cyst measuring 7.5cm x 6.5cm located at her gall bladder. =( There were so many tubes on granny while she's lying on her bed. It's really sadden me to see the sight that she have to undergo the pain. =`(

We were sitting down in the lobby as was granny asleep and I was asked by my aunts where is my gf...

It's official now, I told them that she found someone better and move on... Actually, it was granny who asked if Joyce had visted her. Granny really loves her alot, even though it was just a simple greeting of "ah ma" whenever Joyce sees her. But the simple greeting surely will bring a smile on granny face.

At that moment, I felt kind of useless; Not being able to bring her grandson-in-law to visit her. Really regret of not treasuring and cherishing when I had the chance to. =S
I guess it was because she is the first gf that I have brought home to visit granny, that's why she left such a deep impression with granny. Perhaps, Joyce is really an apple to granny's eyes.

Nothing matters anymore...

I just granny will recover soon and stay healthy always. =)

Received a message from cousin yesterday and informing that granny is ill. She was admitted into hospital as she is suffering from stomach. I actually thought it was just a minor aliment and went down to visit her after work.

Thankfully, Matthew was heading to his dad’s shop located somewhere near the hospital so I managed to hitch a ride from him. When I reached the hospital, I see the uneasiness on my aunts and uncles face. Later then I found out that granny had low blood count and she have stones in her gall bladder.

I stayed besides her all the while, praying to Lord to heal her and prevent the viruses from her. She was groaning with pain and could not lie still in bed. I really felt useless at that moment as I was of not help. = (

A blood transfusion is needed to be performed on granny due to her low blood count. But before the doctor agrees to do the blood transfusion, he strongly recommends that granny undergo a scope of her stomach.

My uncles and aunts know for granny age to undergo a scope will be plain suffering and inform the doctor that we wish her to forgo the scope. They got reprimanded in return; sort of “threatened” that unless granny undergo the scope or he will not do the blood transfusion and that granny will be discharged the very next day. =(

We later realize that the doctor action was also for the benefits of granny as he will only be able to find out the actual caused of her illness.

Granny took a nap after an injection which relieves her of the pain.

Slightly later, my sister arrived and we stayed beside her bed just in case she needed anything. I was sitting beside her bed watching her sleep, studying her face and features.

Granny’s face is full of wrinkles; those are trails of age that leave on her. It was only yesterday then I found out about her age, 88 years old.


And I found a striking resemblance between her and my dad; her nose. Family heritage~
I just hope that granny will recover soon.

Insomnia


Went for my specialist check up this afternoon and found out that the pressure in my eye have reduce, which is Great news. =) Well, it’s the beginning of His healing and I know that I will regain my vision in no time. =D

I was given new drugs for treatment, 7 different kinds in total. Even the pharmacist asked if I can remember the individual use of each medication. Sigh, guess I must get use to them and let Father Do the healing. =

I kind of starting to dread blogging already…

I have got nothing interesting to update about my life. Reason why I am blogging now is due to insomnia. I think it’s perhaps I am not used to going to sleep without chatting with someone over the phone. It have become a habit I developed since I was with my ex. Well, guess I have to overcome loneliness le…

I’m waiting for the right girl to come along… May God bless me…

Gotta sleep le.. still got to wake up early tomolo.. sianz... Nite allz...

Been some time since I last blogged. Really had a busy week, didn’t really have time to sit in front of the computer, leaving down tracks of my life in my blog.

I was attending WITs course in Toa Payoh Hub for 2 days. Although I have learnt about WITs during poly days, I have returned everything taught to me upon receiving the diploma. This is kind of a refresher course for me.

Attending the course sure has its advantages; I get to wake up late as the location was kind of near my place. Not mentioning about the long breaks, good food we had as compared to camp food. Even though we got to pay for our lunch, it was all worth it. Hehe..

Since I was in the area, I called up my ex-gf and met her up for dinner. Upon meeting, we choose a spot and had dinner. We didn't really have much to chat about.
After dinner, we roamed around the shopping complex. Happy memories flash by as we used to hang out in the area. Shortly after, she initiated to head for home as she was tired from her day at work therefore I sent her home.

Upon reaching her void deck, I handed her a gift I've done myself, an ambigram I design with her name. It was no easy task designing an ambigram, I spent hours thinking and designing before settling down with the final design. I didn't manage to get a picture of my artwork though; otherwise I'll put it up on my blog for yr critics. Anyway, I made a little request from her to take a picture of the ambigram and send it to me. I will post it up if I ever have a chance to get hold of the picture. =)

Hardwork paid off.

These are the prized collection I once treasured but now, it's all lying in my cupboard. I used to work so hard to earn these trophies.  

NIP TUCK

Hmmm... Ever thought of undergoing cosmetic surgery? Examples, Nose job, double eyelids, liposuction, etc.

Firstly, I would want to get my nose done. I am so not satisfied with my nose; it's kind of bulky. Heh =S I wish to have a sharp and pointed nose. =P

I would also wish to have double eyelids. If you noticed, I actually have a scar on my left eyelid. A scar left by a kitten when I was younger, much younger. = ( Now, it seem as though I have double eyelid on my left eye. Sad....

Of course to be perfect, I would need to put on 20 pound of mass. Sigh, I am seriously below ideal BMI. No matter how much I eat, my metabolism seems to burn the food in a faster rate. =( I tried drinking milk with egg in it, tried taking oats when I'm feeling a little hungry but everything just doesn't seems to work.

Guess, I have to munch my way throughout my NS life. =)

I certainly look better when I was younger. Haha!

THis is the link to my clip on the day I turned 18 yr old.

But I got to admit, I look kind of Beng then. Heh! I was young once what.. =P

Prized Collection


“On your mark, get set, bang!” All the athletes ran towards the finishing line with all their might… I was one of them…

I got my first trophy when I was 9, from then on trophies became my collection. Ever since I had my first trophy, I was picked and was added into the Athlete Team.

I was trained and taught with skill to develop myself. Ever since then I trained hard to compete in competition. Thrice a week we would train in stadium, trying hard to clock the best timing. I was the leader of the pack while training, always leaving trail of track for them to catch up.

I was the best in the team. I never had to slow down my pace in order for other to catch up with me. As an athlete, you goal is to clear the finishing line as soon as possible.

Trophies were the motivation towards my goal.

The glorious day in school is always the Sports Meet. I would participate in numerous events and excel in them. I guess the only thing I can excel in is Sports. It’s just too bad Sport School wasn’t developed then, things would be different otherwise.

I’ll take a picture of my prized collection and post it some other day. =)

The matter of fact that I was an athlete, I never slow down my pace for anyone. I never have the mentality of slowing down and waiting for someone. Perhaps, the competitive spirit still lingers in me. Even when I go jogging with friends, we would meet up and I’ll just head on with my pace unless they are able to keep up.

I learnt a lot after my ex broke up with me… I learn about being patient and understanding, etc.

Over last week, I went jogging with my sister and a friend on 2 different days. It was then, I learnt to slow down according to their pace. Although I really felt that I’m jogging on the spot but overall, it’s kind of nice to have a companion.

=)

Valley of Arts.

Yesterday night was the most enjoyable night throughout my life. There was an event held at ChinaBlack; Valley of Arts.

I’m not that artistic to join in this kind of event. It just that my friend’s hubby-to-be was one of the organizer and she is assisting in promotion. In support of my friend, I went down with a couple of colleagues for the fun of it.

The impression of the event wasn’t really well received when we first reached the place. There isn’t much crowd to go along with and was certainly an event for artistic people to participate.

There were performance by people who were famous in the circle of arts whom we never heard of. Performance such as music and dances, etc. Thankfully, things got a little better at the later part of the event. People start pouring in as the time went by and by the end of the event, the whole place was filled with crowd.

After the event, the club was open to public and the place starts to get real happening. Pretty babes start filling the club and the atmosphere become really hot. We were on the dance floor and Jervis spotted some chicks dancing at a corner. Haha! Closer and closer we danced till the girls were joined by a guy. A chance wasted for Jervis to perform. =P We really intoxicate our mind with the alcohol and dance to our content. To the extent that I actually felt real breathless and got to take a breather at a corner.

While resting in a corner, I noticed a girl which really interests me. Her moves were exceptionally sexy. She never leaves my sight that night. It’s a pity that she was not alone. If only she was alone, I might just stepped up and try to know her after gulping more shots. After all, I’m single now… =P

Time flies when we were enjoying. Sooner than we realize, it was already midnight. Jervis got some interesting program of his own. Leaving me, Frank and Texas enjoying ourselves in the club. Too bad Jervis left early when the fun was just starting. We continued with the booze and starting to feel real HIGH! To the extent that we went up on the peak of the platform. =)

I really dance and booze to my limit that night; a night with purity of Fun. =D
