3rd day without my mum at home

Today is the operation day. I was in the bus to work and kept worrying my mum's operation.

I took half day leave and went to visit her with my dad. At first, she found difficulties talking to us. Her voice was bad like having sore throat. After some time, she talked to us slowly.

The operation was conducted at 7.45am and it ended at 1pm. They put anesthetic drug on her. Once she awake from the surgery, she was not feeling well. Dare not to eat or drink and just rest. Her blood pressure is very low and they gave her blood transfusion.

My dad asked her whether she could have the senses on her legs. She replied, "Yes". It is considered a good news for us. Really Thank You God that He answer our prayers. =) I started to give her some water and let her eat the food slowly.

But, we still need to pray for her fully recovery. For normal people, it would take three months to recover but for my mum's case is different. She might need a longer period due to her ill sickness. Anyway, it just a matter of time.

Her specialist doctor will be seeing her tomorrow so we hope to hear more good news from him.

2nd day without my mum at home

Just left a few hours, my mum will be undergoing the operation.

Today, we visited her at the hospital in the afternoon. She was happy and cheerful. It seems like my mum doesn't have any fear for this operation. Yet, all of us are worried. My mum told us about 5 patients who are in the same ward. A girl who is 25 years old has to put a titanium at her whole spinal as her spinal has grown till in "S" shape. She will be operated on the same day with my mum. Another old Chinese lady has to put three screw on her broken spinal. Another two ladies also have to operate her spinal. The fifth lady was quite serious as she has broken leg.

We also shared some funny and interesting stories. Before leaving, we told her to be strong and tough. Finally, I uttered the three words, "Mum, we love you."

Back to home, I cooked the mushroom chicken for dinner. For the first time, my brother made Wan Tan Mee as lunch for us. He also washed the dishes. It's glad to see him helping me to do the household chores. Hopefully he will keep it up.

Events in September

On the first day of Hari Raya (10/9), I went Genting with a group of Secondary friends. There were 13 of us-YK, KS, KY, CF, Lionel, ST, VW, MY, ML, KH, WM and WM’s son. It was organized by KSheng, KY and YK. The package is RM45 which included bus, cable car and choose either theme park or buffet. We chose Theme Park.

The weather wasn’t our day. It was cloudy and kept raining. Besides, Theme Park was crowded and packed. We’ve been queuing up for an hour and just played 30 seconds games! It’s not tired of playing but tired of waiting.

There was a happy moment. The guys kept teasing MY by shouting Fatteh when they played the games.. Haha.. All of us laughed happily. We, girls tried to shout their names but unsuccessfully.

After lunch, they were waiting this moment to claim money from Uncle Lim. Haha.. KH joined us in the afternoon. We entered Casino successfully without checking ID except Lionel. We teased him as he couldn’t clear off his nickname-Dau Kei Wong.. =p All of us didn’t have any good luck except me and Lionel who don’t gambling. They blamed for taking cable car for bring bad luck – (缆车 = 烂车 means Junk Car)

I went hiking on 25/9 with colleagues. This is my first hiking with them. I didn’t expect that I’ll join them. Somehow, I’ve to thank Eunice for convincing Mr Tan to fetch me. Hehe..

Mr Hong and Angela would meet Mr Lim and Carole at their house by going a car whereas Mr Foong and his brother sat Mr Tan’s car. Broga Hill was their chosen place. This was my second attempt.

We reached there at 5.30am. There were cars parking at the road side. Mr Foong wore a torchlight cap. I followed him behind because I needed his light to shine the path. On the way, I saw some of youngsters gave up.

When I reached the first station, I was exhausted. Carole was staying with me. However, we were able to reach second station. Mr Lim, Mr Hong and Angela were there. I heard that Foong brothers reached the third station. Wow… They were tough. The sky was dark and cloudy. Mr Lim and Mr Hong were disappointed because they brought their professional camera to catch the sun rise pictures. We have a conversation. Mr Tan asked me, “When did you come here?” “Last time and about this time,” I replied. Mr Lim added, “Consider an annual event?” We just laughed.

After hiking, I was energetic. Although I couldn’t reach the third station, it was an enjoyable trip with a group of colleagues. =) I’m looking forward to the next hiking.

1st day without my mum at home

My mum checked-in the hospital yesterday.

Before I was leaving for work, I gave her a big hug. By hugging her, my tears started rolling down my chicks. How I wish I could say, "Mummy, I LOVE YOU.." But I was afraid that she would know I was crying. I told myself that I've to be tough so I tried to dry up my tears.

Being the eldest, I've to carry out my responsibilities to take care of this family. All these years, the title "princess" has to come an end. Be mature and responsible.

I spent almost an hour in the kitchen despite my mum prepared the ingredients of tou fu pok soup. Dad and brother didn't complain the dinner as I guess they knew I was not as good as mum. Although I feel that I don't have the potential in cooking, I will try my level best. So, "Sook Yee, pls keep it up!!" =)

Feelings...

It has been some time that I left my blog quietly.

This blog contains my feelings...

About mum
Her heart scanning's results showed some improvement so her operation will be conducted on 4th October. All of us give fully support to her. Probably I will accompany her throughout the operation eventhough I know my mum would refuse me to take leave. Nowadays, my mum requested to do this and that, I would definitely say yes.. Last time, I was rebellious and I would give all sort of replies, "Wait ar.."; "Later, I will do.." or "Why me?"

My dad asked me, "Have you prepared the worst senario for your mum?" Whenever he asked this question, I tried to avoid answering. Honestly, I'm not ready myself to accept any consequences!! I should say,"Nobody would wish bad things happen, right?" Somehow, I know I'm the eldest and have to prepare it. Praying for her mum is the best thing that I could do. Trying to make her happy each day...

About exam
Results just reviewed out and full of disappointment... :(
I'm tired of studying and wish to a break.. Probably will do it again next year.

About job
Since my senior resigned, I'm taking over her place but with another senior's guidance. At first, I was excited to handle full set of account for two companies. However, recently, my boss told me that one of companies will employ a new staff to handle the account so I have to pass over. Feeling happy or sad? Happy that I will be less burden as I wont be doing admin stuff for that co. but at the same time I'm sad as my learning scope is limited. "How long would I stay in this co?" I asked myself sometimes..

About trip
Thought of going to S'pore trip would be an adventurous as this is my first experience to hang out with friends.. Due to lack of budgetting, this trip is postponed to next year. But.. I will be taking part in Table Tennis Competition in S'pore with my dad in Nov. Not so bad afterall? Haha.. :)

23rd Birthday

Yesterday was my special day.. I wish that I could make my day longer in order to enjoy it the fullest.. Haha..

My friends organised this event specially for me..(touching) Although it was not a big party, I still enjoyed it with them. Manhattan Fish Market was the chosen place. The reason they chose this restaurant, I guess it is because of my name-Sook Yee (In Cantonese). Haha.. The best part was all the staff in the restaurant kept mentioning my name. Sounded like I'm the famous. Haha.. Thus, they sang birthday song.

Inception was our chosen movie since I watched Twilight-Elipse. The movie is quite different from the usual one. Dreaming could turn out as real as reality. It made you believe it. The main actor is Leonardo Di Caprio.

After dinner, the time show at 9pm. Yet my kai gor insisted to bring us to I-City, Klang. By the time we reach there, it was around 10pm. I-City is famous of colourful lightings. It is one of the attraction area for either local or foreign tourist. Families would love to bring their children to watch this beautiful night decoration such as Christmas and Chinese New Year, while youngster like us, love to have photo shootings non-stop. Haha..

I reached home at 11.50pm. Another 10 minutes would be another new day. Hopefully this coming new days would change my life become better. Once again, thank you very much to my family and friends.

Farewell Dinner To My Senior

For the very first time, I went out dinner with my colleagues after working last Wednesday (7th July). This event only allowed ladies to take part. Haha.. For guys, they went hiking at Kota Kinabalu. My lady boss suggested the place called, "Yuen Steamboat" which is located at Sunway.

I heard that their specialty is chicken wings. At first, I didn't believe that the container of chicken wings would be empty once the staff place it on the table. Yes, it was. Everyone would try to grab as much as possible. It was like hungry wolf trying to eat as much as possible.

On the table, there were two types of soup-origin and tomyam. It was like a buffet style whereby you could take as much as possible. But...The management will charge the leftover food for more than 5kg (not very sure). The price is reasonable and food is fine.

We had a photo session especially with my senior, Charine who she is resigned.
