Another Chapter of My Life

Saturday, May 30, 2009

After a week of gloomy days, let's talk about something to be grateful of..:) Yes, indeed in some point of our lives it's hard to accept the fact and reality... It's God will and we should learn to be acceptive.. I learn a lot from uncle, God would not let her go if we really need her in this time unless when she's suffering from pain.. Most importantly is praying by faith!
Alright, i had an advance birthday celebration yesterday with my Cuzzies, Joanne and Megan and of course most importantly grandma! :D I'm fortunate enough to have her staying by my side during my birthday although it's a pre-celebration.. hehes.. Jonathan said it was supposed to be a surprise but since grandma is here, it's inconvenient to make things difficult.. understood! Happy and really grateful for this mini celebration..:) Let the pictures talk~

Appreciating.....
Treasuring........
Cherishing...........

These are the 3 words that I'm learning through day by day... All for my grandmother of course.. She came down to Singapore with my cousin last Saturday.. With 7 of her grandchildren here in Singapore to keep her accompany must be the happiest moment for her.. Despite of the suffering in eating the 9 tablets of steroids each time, she seems stronger with our presence.. In fact grandchildren are the medicine for her to be happy every day... Unlike few days back when she just heard about the news, she was very weak even though from her look she seems okay.. Her left hand was shaking non-stop when it's numb.. Only the medicine could stop it and at least give her some energy.. These few days she's getting better.. She could walk around without a wheelchair.. Every afternoon, my cousin would accompany her to exercise and have a walk around the garden.. Praise God! On Saturday night, she said that she wants to sleep when it was 9.30pm.. But ended up 6 of her grandchildren here went in her room and chat with her until 12am! Bedtime Stories from grandma, about our lives when we were young..:) She's a faithful servant of God.. Despite of her sickness, she still pouring out her unfailing love for God.. So dear readers, please do continue to pray for us and especially for my grandmother.. At this point of time there's nothing we can do except to accompany her more often.. But God's work are marvelous, only through Him that all things are possible.. ;) Take care guys!

What will be your first reaction when the doctor told you that your love one is having lung cancer? I'm depressed.. In a serious depression state.. I really need someone to talk to now.. Just received the news that my grandmother diagnosed with a lung cancer and is spread to the brain.. *sobb* There's only 6 months left for her.. What rubbish??!! T.T Why?? T.T Memories of me and my grandmother flashes on my brain one after another.. I'm having CA on friday and I couldn't concentrate in my studies now.. Grandma! She's the one who always protecting me when I was young especially when my parents tried to scold me.. She's the one who always bring me for vacation when I was young.. T.T I don't want the outcome turn out to be like that! I don't want... Don't want... Yes, indeed at this time we suppose to be tough and strong.. I tried but just can't.. Non-stop crying here.. Grandma, I love you.. I really do... T.T

Oh Lord, have mercy on us.. help us and grant us wisdom especially at this time Lord, that everything will go according to your will Lord.. Teach us to be strong and tough and for grandma especially, grant ehr wisdom that she'll live happily for the rest of the day with us here Lord.. We pray all these in Jesus's name.. Amen...T.T

Uncle sent me to school this morning after we had breakfast at SP foodcourt 1 together with my cousin and auntie.. He said the chicken chop there is nice and it's free parking.. hahas.. The chicken chop portion was so big that i gave some to my cousin and her dad also gave his portion to her.. Whoa, she can really eat and yet wouldn't grow fat because of her high metabolism.. I reached the lecture hall just on time this morning at sharp 10am...But who knows, one of the lecturer came in and said, "Lecture for Business Law is cancelled.." And we shouted at the same time, "walau-eh!" hahaha.. Normally every Friday there's only 2 lectures- Law and Financial accounting.. So we only attended the 1-hour lecture today with the new lecturer Mr Neo.. After the Taxation project discussion at school with Janice and Willie this afternoon, I went to Jurong Point to meet up with Joanne, Lim, Ting Ting and the couple-Jess & Cal... Actually Joanne and Jessica's parents have come to Singapore and we met for a while for shopping.. the funny thing was when Joanne's mother trying a shirt in This Fashion, she asked Jessica to pass the shirt to "your fat mummy".. Then Jess thought for a while, 'my mother is not fat at all'... hahaha! Then we realized, it's OUR mummy! remember Joanne's nick ever since the 1 night camp?? haha.. Even her parents know about that.. lol.. Counting down 3 weeks to go back my home sweet home.. But in the weeks to come, there are 3 CAs.. Cost and Financial Accounting + Taxation project.. Do pray for me..

'Special One', meeting soon..:D

In times I just get overwhelmed by loads of loads of assignments and homework in school.. Poly life in this second year seems to be busier each and every day.. Projects coming one after another and the modules getting narrower and more specific into the accounting route.. It's no longer like your honeymoon first year where most of the modules were so basic that you actually learned before during high school.. But isn't this should be the right way? That's what we usually call the learning path i guess? Yes, it's part and parcel of our lives to always upgrade and improve ourselves cuz things are never easy as you grow.. Especially when you first step into this competitive and challenging society-the world of business.. Alright alright, it's too far from now perhaps..hahas.. And may be i'm just being exaggerate just now.. There are assignmants and projects but actually still keeping in pace for the time being.. Not as busy as expected at least.. But the thing is that, have you ever experienced a condition whereby everything is not going in your way or according to your interest? Er.. let me put into this way.. In lectures I did listen and try to understand what the lecturer is trying to convey.. When it comes to tutorial, I finished all the questions which I think should be the correct way to solve the question.. But ended up most of the answers are wrong and I'll get really demoralised! That means I got the wrong understanding and perception all the while.. haihzz.. So saddening.. Fortunately for Taxation today I managed to catch up and gain back a bit of confidence.. =)

Grant me the wisdom oh Lord...

Saturday, May 9, 2009

It's very happening in this one week alone either globally or locally.. The contagious H1N1 virus which we known as Influenza A-Swine Flu is getting serious now.. To be honest, formerly I wouldn't bother to spend my time in reading newspaper or even with the news, I would only flip to the entertainment part to read news about overseas actors and actress.. Since this week, almost every break in school, I'll go to the library and search for Straits Times.. It's this H1N1 virus that caught my attention and I really concern about this.... From yellow alert in Singapore, the Health Minister has raise it to orange.. And SP now is undergoing temperature screening everyday for visitors at the entrance of each gate.. For students however, we're required to wear the lanyard given and display our admin card.. What more? Each and everyone of us has to bring thermometer to school everyday, measure our own temperature and report to STRES via sms.. After the SARS case few years back, the Health Ministry here really doing his job in taking every single precautionary step in order to prevent the contagious virus from spreading here.. Temperature screening in SP only officially started on Tuesday, but to be precise it's actually Wednesday when the security guard really check our SP identity card.. After which, on Thursday they don't even bother to look at you.. hahas.. Cuz in Singapore there isn't any H1N1 virus yet.. Since yesterday, it's reported that it will go down to yellow alert again on Monday if it's still constant.. Hopefully.. But from the news just now, Canada and Australia reported 1 death because of Swine Flu.. More people will be quarantined if it continues.. *sigh*
Alright alright, let's talk about something to be joyful then.. Mas Selamat! heard of him?? Remember one year ago there's a criminal/terrorist escaped from jail in Singapore and the government has been spending loads of money just to search him? He once plotted to hijack airplane at Changi Airport... And he's arrested now! One month ago under interrogation in Johor and guess what? He actually swam to Johor!! whoa~ What a good swimmer haha.. Even olympics champion lose to him.. lol.. Till then, beware of swine flu dear friends! Take care and drink more water..
