三合一的礼物。。

要送人的礼物终于弄好了，
只差几句祝福语。。

到底是 “马到成功” 还是 “马到功成” 啊？

我的华以不好，

最好还是询问一下专业人士。。

这位专业人士，是一位很出名的编剧，

是大马人的骄傲。。

Ola Bola, 一路有你，

是从她而来的。。

过江新娘也是她的 “孩子” 之一 💗💗

询问她，应该不会错。。

结果，她给我的答案：

“我自己觉得 《马到功成》看起来更厉害一点点 😂😂

好吧，就《马到功成》吧。。

迟来的圣诞礼物兼生日礼物，

希望她喜欢 💗💗

Doctor Friend or Friend Doctor?

When you feel like your whole year was a standstill,

And positivity was just merely a façade,

Motivations like these sure pass as jump-starters to rusty engines 💗💗

p/s: gotta rush up on mine...

Late for Christmas, but on point for CNY 😜😜

Sorry, doc...

Just Bliss

 

With a book in hand and a full blast A/C,

No wait is too long 💗💗

小小纪念。。

At the mention of "Bekenu",  

I used to associate the journey with KL-Seremban,

Which is close to an hour drive...

But now that we've moved to Lambir

(a place where everybody will go wide-mouthed and say, "so far kah?")

It takes us only 20 minutes to arrive 🚗🚗

吃着吃着，他突然间问，“今天几号”，

回答他 “5号”  过后，继续吃 🐷🐷

边吃边想，11月5号，好像很熟悉的日期。。

我突然间 “哦” 了一下，

他：“哦” 什么？

我：你懂11月5号是什么日子吗？

他：不懂。。

我：😜😜

ps: 订婚不是结婚，结婚不是订婚 😂😂

High Maintenance

 

After the "Go Bald Awareness" on 11th June,

This is the second trim in 4 months 😝😝

Who says short hair requires less maintenance?

每两年的变化

本来打算等桥维修好再来拍，

但 2023 年已经进入最后三个月了，

再不拍就要等多两年了。。

不管它了，反正我主要的目的只是想记录当年的情况，

好不好，美不美，

以后回头看，每一年的照片  都有它自己的故事，

记录着我们成长的过程。。

好的经验，是因为有祂看顾，

不好的经历，也是有祂带领。。

人嘛，怎么坚强，也会有emo的一天，

Emo emo 过后，再拉自己起来 😍😍

再为明天而烦恼 😂😂

月饼甜不甜？

HAPPY MID AUTUMN FESTIVAL 💗💗

I used to LOOOVVE mooncakes,

Especially during childhood and teenage years...

But for the past few years,

I found myself readily saying "No" to a second helping...

Is it signs of aging? 😂😂

近几年会自然的拒绝第二片，

人老了，甜食必须减少。。

刚才只吃了两片都觉得甜到不行，

赶快弄一杯绿茶去掉甜腻的味道 😛😛

祝大家中秋节快乐 💗💗

Every Spine Counts

 

THOUGHTS & TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS COURSE:

1.   Would I have had the opportunity to learn about Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) and the privilege of having this extra knowledge if I was a regular human being without a disability?

2.   Would I even have cared to clothe myself with SCI knowledge if I didnt't have an SCI patient for a husband?

3.   Would I even have known how to handle/care for an SCI patient, where medical jargon like Autonomic Dysreflexia (AD), Neurogenic Bladder/Bowel was involved?

4.   Would I have had the opportunity to learn about Wound Care Management and the different methods used to treat chronic wound?

5. Most of all, would I ever even have such golden opportunities to attend courses like these?

The answer to all of the above would be: NO. I would have taken for granted that life was supposed to be good to me. I would just have been an ordinary human on earth going about my day, oblivious to the needs around me. So yes, it's a privilege to be a part of a "different" world. Because then, I can relate to different disabilities in more ways than one. 

Found myself nodding away at some of the points mentioned as I have seen the Mr. doing it. Having occasionally heard his sharing first-hand on how he went through and subsequently overcame some of the not-so-easy moments, I cannot not salute him for it. 

Coincidentally, 5th September is World SCI Day, so cheers to all the SCIs out there 🍷🍷 you've got this 💪💪

ps: why do I sound like an SCI myself? 😂😂

You're too kind with your words, Dr. 

Thanks for your support. Always an honour to be a part of you guys 💗💗

Proud of it 💗🙏

One with the Lady Boss of Rehab department 💖💖

Victory!!

At our new Centre's Soft Opening Ceremony 3 days ago, 
Jennie Fu complimented about the visible difference in both of us,

But the skeptic in me find it slightly hard to believe,

（对不起啊，我不是不相信你。。我是不相信我自己 😂😂）

So I decided to browse through my fone album for some past pictures,

Only to make some shocking discoveries 😲😍😲😍

The comparison freak in me started casually labelling them,

Only to let out my loudest "oh my gosh" at this particular picture:

Same month, same date, two years later 😍😍

我成功了！我真的成功了！

脸肿到滑滑的我，现在看回去，有点恐怖又有点恶心，

但我必须接受的事实就是，我曾经真的是肥到不像样，

那时候已经有好几个人在暗示我了，只是我不当一回事。。

直到我看到在我老公侄儿的婚礼的我，

我才真的吓到 😮😱😮😱😱

I was at my heaviest 63.3 in 2021,

But now the machine reads between 54 and 56, 

Depending on my food intake for the day...

我曾经一度完全cut掉糖水，只喝白开水 😂😂

每次叫外卖的时候，老公问我要 teh peng, teh c 吗？

甚至拿我最爱的 ShareTea 和 teh c Special 来诱惑我，

我都说不要 😝😝 （虽然真的真的很诱惑 🙈🙈）

痛苦吗？不痛苦啦，为了减肥，哈哈。。

OK la, 偶尔会 cheat 一下，

两三个星期才一杯来奖赏自己 😋😋

I'm seriously over the moon to be fluctuating between 54 and 56 now,

A drastic drop of 7 to 9kgs...

Now, shall I be greedy and go for 53? 😝😝

Still some flabby arms to work on though, ahah...

I can hear my M cheongsam calling out to me... 

你看吧！你看！🙈🙈

我叫你们看，但我自己却不敢看，也无眼看。。哈哈哈哈。。

Two Weeks Progress...

 Just for the record 👇👇😉😉

The bro said it looks like "kiwi when you leave it on the table" 😂😂🥝🥝

...and the Uncle Mogan said I look like Sinead O'connor 😝😝 OK, are you teaching me to get chess tattoo 😂😂

一生人一次。。

一生人一次的体验，
不想遗憾地错过，更不想错过而遗憾。。

但，我最终的决定是为了走进癌症勇士们的世界，

尤其是儿童。。

点头之前，“某” 主席有稍微的哄我，

鼓励我挑战一生人一次的机会。。

他说如果我剃，

他会买漂亮的假发送我 😂😂

考虑了三天，我给自己的答案是 “OK” 👌👌

这三天里，有许多抗癌好友的名字浮现在我脑海里，

其中包括一个小组组长 （我昨天的fb memories有我和他的合照）和两个亲戚 😢😢

甚至10天前刚 “毕业” 的一位朋友的老公。。

虽然无法真正的理解他们的心情，

但至少我知道，

他们都很努力的接受治疗，

很努力的 fighting...

To those who fought but your time was up,

You have done your best,

Living life with no regrets.

Perhaps it's better to be in a place where there's no more sufferings  🙏🙏

To those who won the fight and are given a new life, 

The best way to pay it forward is by showing more compassion 

To those less fortunate than ourselves 😊😊

But to those who are still "fighting",

Keep "fighting" 💪💪

ON A LIGHTER NOTE:

Been hoping that I won't get a video call (VC) from my family,

Coz I don't know how to break the news yet 😂😂

But when I saw "dad" calling in this morning,

I hurried to put on my cap.

Dad: At home also wear cap ar?

Me: Ya lo, very hot... Wait ar * takes off cap*

Dad: Oh my gosh 😳😳

And suddenly,

My botak pictures from 40yrs ago flooded the Family whatsapp group 🙈🙈

 

All in all, 

A wonderful yet very humbling experience 💓💓

ps: btw, I really do look so much like him here, ahah... 

早餐不要重口味。。

 

Good morning! 

有谁跟我一样，一看到半生熟鸡蛋

就会有一种莫名的幸福感？ 😍😍

很久很久以前，

每天早上去上学前的爱心早餐

不是 butter sugar bread 就是 half-boiled egg 😋😋

（对，我一路来的早餐都是那么简单。。

我不习惯重口味的炒饭米粉面当早餐）

前阵子，我家老板说：

“突然想吃半生熟鸡蛋”

知道他喜欢，接下来，我不问了。。

直接弄就是了 😝😝 反正都是补充营养，啊哈哈 

每次弄了给他，我自己就很想要 😂😂

Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah...

The very first thing Mr. Boss asked this morning: “今天几号？” 
Since it was a question we ask everyday,
I really did not give much thought to it, 

Yet there's just something about this date I can't pin point

It kept on lingering in my head...

到底 3月18号 发生过什么事情？

为什么总是觉得这个日期有个特别的事情发生过？

And then, the answer was revealed at DUMC's Saturday Celebration just now:

18032020, 3 years ago today,

We stepped into one of the most traumatic period in our lives.

The gloom & doom began

When the lockdown, called the Movement Control Order (MCO),

Was imposed throughout the country

Turning everybody's lives upside down 🤸🤸

The phrase "Jangan kesana kesini" was a hit 😂😂

Face masks were our "passport" then, ahah...

But there's also the phrase:

[Everything will be OK in the end. 

If it's not OK, it's not the end] by John Lennon.

Looking back, there's really no denying 

That His merciful hands were at work all along.

Home Is Where the Heart Is

No words can ever describe how proud, yet humbled I am

To be a part of this huge family.
 A family that strives to reach out and be a blessing
To the least and the less, and the lost.

Some time ago, Senior Pastor (SP) threw us a question:

"Why are you in DUMC?"

Come to think of it, I found the answer, MY answer

To this question, way back to 17 years ago...

The then "Praise Givers" CG (yes, they give names to their CG)

Was a gung ho gang of Young Adults.

My first visit to their CG was

A Christmas carolling practice session,

Not for among themselves, not for home carolling,

But for the kids in a shelter home. 

Oh, that was it!

My "search" ended there because I knew I had found "home"...

17 years on, and my heart still beats with you 💓💓

What does 6 congregations coming together feels like?

I wish I was there to see for myself...
