As for lunch mom still choke on it, so l gave her some milo, and to my surprise she drank without choking. Dinner was great she finished a bowl porridge, that brighten my hectic day, haha. Anyway, l started useing the "OTO Electro Reflexologist" massager for her sole and the "Lip Trainer"with me helping to move her mouth, the Lip Trainer is to activate the nerve around the mouth and neck muscle to reduce choking.

Thank you !. ________________________________________________ DAY 4: Today it's really a very very hectic, stress and worried day for me, because mom can't swallow, every mouth full she took seem to be choking her, so she rather not eat, since she is a diebiatic on insulin without food her sugar level will drop, she woke up sweating and slur so badly that l thought the worse has come, so l check her sugar level, is indeed very low at 3.1, l was shock with my hand trembleing l gave her milo to bring the sugar lever up and housecall a doctor. After drink the milo for about 20 mins, sugar level went back up to 7.80,phew.........just before the doctor came. Doctor said she looks alright....... we just got to monitor her sugar very closely, and advice us to gave her some sweet stuff everyday because she's eating less and on insulin jap, for this reason her sugar level will drop, and is dangerous because if sugar level is too low she'll slip into a coma, he said is better to be higher than too low. Will pray very hard for a better tomorrow.

Mom have to be very careful, she chok easy, someone have to be with her when she eat or drink to remind her to swallow slowly before she puts in another mouthful.

Thank you !. Today is the first day that mom wanted me to take bath for her, l can see she is really very weak, but she kind of enjoy the bath maybe because she felt clean and smell good, haha. Mom seems to like the brown rice fish porridge, maybe is easier to swallow instead of bitting. Well, thank god she still do her physio cycle obediently, this will aleast help her in some way.

Some time ago, I made an entry about my mom feeling not so good. Mom is really not looking that good, she has been coughing almost like choking and had difficulty in breathing, she even finds it difficult to bite when she eats, l have been cooking soft brown rice fish porridge for her and bought some cough mixture.............. hopfully she will get well. Her walking is just as bad infact worse she even wants me to take bath for her tomorrow which she finds it dificult to do it herself, really kind of sad because, most my other siblings are not staying in the same town, only me and my younger sister who is busy with her own family, anyway there is not much l can do except to try my best in taking care of her.

l know is silly to copy and paste some story line from somewhere, but somehow l felt a deep meaning in it, that l want to share.......... BEING A MOTHER After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, 'I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would Love to spend some time with you.' The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my Mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. <>That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. 'What's wrong, are you well,' she asked? My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. 'I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you,' I responded 'just the two of us.' She thought about it for a moment, and then said, 'I would like that very much.' That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's. ' I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed,' she said, as she got into the car. 'They can't wait to hear about our meeting.' We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Half-way through the entrees, I lifted my eyes and saw Mother sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. 'It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,' she said. 'Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor,' I responded. During the dinner , we had an agreeable conversation nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, 'I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.' I ag reed. 'How was your dinner date?' asked my wife when I got home. 'Very nice, much more so than I could have imagined,' I answered. A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her. Sometime later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place Mother and I had dined. An attached note said: 'I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but, nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. 'I love you, son' At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: 'I love YOU' and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till some 'other' time. ................but somehow or rather......it's easier said than done.............

The opening ceremony of the "Beijing Olympics 2008" just simply fantastic, l watched it over and over and over again.... it's just great and beautiful and meaningful and so on..................and on......and on.....when the whole world came together into one big event,one community or maybe one big family........

The past 1 wk l have been very stressful and worried, it all started when my mom told me that her left leg is kind of weak. She had a mild stroke that affected her right side about 6yrs ago. It is therefore nothing unusual for her left side to feel weak, further more she is 77yrs old,and as she gets older it becomes worse, it will never get better due to lack of exercise, even though l have been telling her to do so years ago !

So, recently I bought her a walking stick, but.......she is shy, refuses to use it and so she fell. Nothing serious just bruises on her knee. Well,.........what's next???.........I took her to the doctor to make sure there are no broken bones and at the same time have a full medical check up to see exactly what is wrong with her that have weaken her leg. Guess what the medical report said: liver no problem, kidney good, b/pressure perfect, sugar beautiful(she is a diebitic), cholestrol ok........see she has healthy genes in her(hope she passed it on to me), the only thing wrong with her is lack of excercise, (which she simply refuses to do,) that's what doctor said..........so...for cases like my mom the "Orthopaedic" doctor advised us to get her a physiu cycle so that she can atleast exercise her legs and arms at home and at the same time give her pharmaton and ginsen powder (hopefully it help)......not only am I stressed over her sickness, I' m also stretched over my poor wallet!!!!!!!!!!

Since my mom's had that mild stroke six years ago, our house is like a mini physiotherapy studio^_^, an OTO foot massager, a threadmill which she don't want to use, and now a physio cycle, on top of those, we have a wheel chair and now a walker.

Looking at my mom, l start to imagine what would all of us be like when we are at her age.........

When l was in school, this remark was in my report card, always the same... from primary till secondary "talkative and playful in class". This is my basic characteristic even till today, l talk alot especially with people who are close to me, and this made me a "not so nice person" in the eyes of certain groups.

l do remind myself to say what l should and should not, but...most of the time l get carried away, l'll say anything under the sun, not realising that some topics are not meant for gossiping.

"What the hell, just be yourself nobody is perfect" sometime l say to myself, but sad to say..... life don't work that way, life never works the way we want it to work.

"You are full of emotions" once said to me by a german lady that l met for the first time. l kind of agree with her , because l do keep things to myself and try to solve my own problems. l cry easy , to me......... l rather it this way, to cry alone than get the whole world to cry with you. Why am l saying all these? ................... it must be the gloomy weather, or is it because my hubby cut my Million's hair without my permission and l m real angry..........

It was a trip to Kuala Lumpur for my cousin's grand daughter full moon celebration, see how happy she is being a new granny

And Million got to meet up with one of her friend Rocky from http://www.silkynfrenzclub.com/.

Rocky is a very friendly dog, is just that, Million is shy and a scardy cat, but she had fun sitting on my lap admiring Rocky........

In the early morning of the day 30/5/08 our little apartment was filled with laughter, chattering with noises of happiness from stay over good friends, relatives, photographer, make-up artis.Then there was the cake delivery, setting up tables of food and drinks, chairs , fan and so on.

Although l was busy, my heart had this mix feeling......kind of reluctant to let my daughter go and at the same time feeling happy for her to have found herself a wonderful husband, as the time drew nearer to putting on her veil(is a tradition for the parent to put on the veil for the bride)my heart beat faster, and suddently I heard the make-up artis calling out for me, and...... l headed for the kitchen and start crying, l don't even know is it tears of joy or tears of reluctance....anyway... l managed to stop and hold my tears till l put on her veil gave her a hug, didn't want to spoil her make-up.

The groom came with a group of his friends, "WHY, a group of his friends?" some may ask, well.... to give him a helping hand incase the bride's girlfriends gave him a hard time in trying to get into the apartment.........

After he came in and took the hand of the bride the programme was followed by praying and "thankyou" for a good marriage...........followed by the tea ceremony, the groom and the bride will serve tea for the seniors relatives and the younger cousins will serve tea to the groom and bride, gifts of blessing are given to the new couple. Next................on the way to the groom's house.

It is a tradition for the bride and the groom to have "a hair combing ceremony" on the eve of their wedding day in their own respective parent's home at the same time, normally hair combing ceremony is done by the respective parent.

Before the ceremony starts, preparations have to be made with "well wishes" stuff as shown in the photo, "Tang Yuen" plays a very important role in the ceremony, to be swallowed whole without bitting, is a believe that the newly weds will stick together forever just like the Tang Yuen sticking together in the stomach.

l did the hair combing ceremony for my daughter, 3 well wishes must be said as l comb, after combing the bride will swallow the Tang Yuen, angpow is given to the bride for a happy marriage and the hair combing ceremony is done.

The wedding is getting near so......... all the final preparations like cake and card distributing, gift exchanging,and most of all to make myself beautiful.....haha. So "Kor Tai Lei" was on the 10/5/08, for those who are not sure what it is, 'Kor Tai Lei' is the exchanging gifts between the bride and groom, and both the respective "in-laws"......... it was beautiful and colourful, let me show you some of the pictures: Gifts from the bride and her mother......

Gifts from the groom and his parents:

And finally the happiness !

the "Si Ping" was very pretty and tasty.

For those who are not sure what 'si ping' is, it's the wedding biscuit given by the groom for the bride to give to her friends and relatives to inform them that she is getting married.

We have fun looking and admiring those beautiful wrapping and the biscuit it the talk of the ceremony, "Pretty and Tasty".

l have been wanting to write something about a stray dog that l named her "Bobby".......... sounds like a male dog isn't it? She has a pair of brown eyes with big ears, long legs with a patch of white spots at the front legs that looks like a pair of socks! Anyway Bobby is a very passionate and friendly, who has a cat as her best friend, which l name Kitty, Bobby sleeps and play with Kitty, even bring food for Kitty, she'll wait for Kitty to eat first and pick up the balance for herself, is really cute and is the first time l have seen such a passionate act. The only photo that l manage to snap is when both of them are sleeping, everytime l hold the camera when they are playing, they just stop and sit there. Well, if cats and dogs can be friends l m sure we can have 'WORLD PEACE'

l did it again.........in Kluang recently we have facing alot of water meter thieft, few days ago somewhere near my house a row of meters were stolen, took some pictures and emailed to 'The Star" newspaper to try my luck.....and l did it again.......l won myself rm50.00.

Sometime ago, can't remember when and l lost that photo, maybe some of my friends will remember this, a small plane crashed ........... by the prince of Johor near my house, l won rm50.00 for that photo too.

want to share this funny video from youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeRjRxYhz6U&feature=related

l have been real busy lately because my previous maid left as her contract was over and the "new" one just arrived, that means...... l need to teach this "new" one all over again! sometime"s my blood pressure shoots up real high(you know what l mean?), having to repeat over and over again what l taught............ especially how vegetable should be cut, so instead, l took photos and had it printed on A4 using 'microsoft' and laminated them, to my suprise it is so much easier, l just tell her to go see the picture......hahaha......should have done it this way long time ago, this is some of my "brain wave".....hahaha......What you think????????
