It was a devastated week. Grandma was scheduled to have her MRI scan on the 18th of November 2009 Wednesday due to her frequent headache and giddiness. At first doctor only claimed that it was her ear infection that drives her to dizziness and nausea. After weeks and months of antibiotic consumption, there were no melioration. Her health deteriorate drastically day by day.
She was pronounced dead in between her MRI scan. It was a shocking news! I was told she was fine and she is at her hunky-dory state. She even asked the doc’s permission for discharge before she was pushed into the MRI room. So what really happened inside there? I heard she was given sedative as grandma claimed she was too cold to continue with her scan which is only 15 minutes left to finished the whole process. Sedative given to cold and weak patient? MRI rooms are cold bloody idiots ! Doc and nurse, lab assistant came out quietly and pronounced the time of her death.
It was truly awful. Nothing can be done but heart filled with anxiety and doubtfulness. It sounded like murder.
Flash back of grandma keeps popping in my head.
- Our phone conversation.
- She at our home in Sabah taking care of mom when mom was bedridden.
- Taking care of us when we were young.
- The look of her happy face when we tell her some nasty jokes.
- Her delicious Kopi O breakfast and “yau char kaui”.
- She in her sarong.
There is too much to mention about her. She was one strong loving lady. Her high pitch of her voice always got people confused that she was angry. She was never mad at us. We were never got bawled out too. All she wants was her family members love and care. She hopes for her children and grandchildren to return and visit her often. That was the only thing she hopes and wants all along. Money don’t buy her happiness. She only wants to talk and meet us! But non of us took it seriously and we have took her and second aunt for granted. I regretted for not visiting her often.
Bye and sorry grandma! May her soul rest in peace.
I was actually flying off to Yogyakarta, Indonesia for 4 days 3 nights via Singapore last Friday which was on the 6th. After planning for months Sharon and I decided to postponed this trip as we were kinda worry about earthquake and tsunami.
So the air tickets were burnt and well I stay at home catching some Z's. It was my off day. Sleeping the whole day is what I love best.
My phone rang during my best slumber, ‘ Hello, is this Khor……? I am calling from Krispy Kreme. You have been selected as the winner in the Fave Fan Contest”
I was so awake and excited. I was asked to sign a document which the organizer sent to me via email and has to revert to her back asap as she needs to send back to the US. Can you imagine if I am in Yogya that day ? WIll I be selected as the winner? I am sure my phone will be in OFF mode if I am in a foreign country.
Well little that I know, my cancelled plan has saved me to another trip of USA. Am I lucky or what? Thanks a lot to my family and friends who have support and vote me to become the winner. Ever vote does count!
I own 3 dogs and a cat. They are like my kids. 3 boys and a girl. A happy mom indeed. When I was away in Bangkok my pets will be sent to Pet Hotel.
While away, like a mom, I miss my fur kids. The feeling of not having them beside me or while at home is simply lonely. When I return home the first thing they do is they bark and lick my face wanting me to carry them and pat them on their head. The feeling of warmth to be at home. What I love most about them is they wag their tails simultaneously waiting for me to pat them when I return home. They are so cute!
So to prevent my self from missing my fur kids, I usually will linger in Bangkok’s pet shop, shop for foods and dogs clothing for my fur kids. What I love best is able to attend one of South East Asia’s International Dog Show in Impact, Bangkok. Its a shame that I was unable to attend one in 2009. I was browsing thru some of the old pictures and made me want to share the pictures of the cute critters that I saw a year ago.
Goody goody. The voting period has finally ends. Family and friends sorry for the nuisance, and the chaotic of bugging you guys for daily and weeks. Thank you for your support and love all this while. Thank you for voting!
Grand ma has been admitted to the hospital for almost a week. Aunt G.H only revealed to me last few days. Guess she never thought grand ma will be admitted for that long period.
When I heard about grand ma’s health deteriorate, it got my nerve. I felt guilty for not visiting her for almost a year. I can’t even recall the last time I visit her. I admit I am not filial. Kent , sis and I hastily drive to Alor Star Hospital to visit her a day after my phone conversation with aunt GH.
The room temperature in the hospital room was hot. Grand ma wrap her self with thick blankets and jacket. The windows were wide open. The hot air wind blown gently into the room. She was station in a private room. Aunt GH’s maid was beside her all the time. Abiding and taking care of her 24-7.
As I walk near to her bed, I called out “AH MA”!. Not talking or anything she just nod her head. Sis grab a chair sat beside her. All of a sudden, grandma asked “Who is the eldest?”
I was shocked to hear that. I asked her do you remember our names? Do you know who we are? She said I am too old to remember who you are. Who are you guys?
Our eyes burst into tears! My heart felt like cutting down from a high building crushing on the cold hard cement. I never felt that way since my mother passed away. She has forgotten our names. She can’t recognize us.
I remember I called her 2 weeks ago before she was admitted to the hospital. She was fine except that she talks slowly due to her constant cough. Asking me when to conceive a baby and joke a bit and now all of a sudden she can’t remember who am I.
Her condition worsen she can’t sit up. She can’t eat. She can’t really talk as she has to catch her breath after every talk. Doctor only claims that she has ear infection. But what causes all this dizziness and cold she is having now? Her BP is like roller coaster ride. I felt helpless not being to do anything to release her pain.
All I can do is to hope that she will get back to her feet soon. Healthy and strong!
I agree that I am in desperate state. I want to win badly. 11 more days to end the voting period and 20 more days to go for the result to be announce.
All I want each days are more votes for me. I need voters to vote for me badly every minute. I started to become greedy. I feel giddy and impatient. Waiting for 24 hours to pass by just to vote 3 votes is just uneasy. The waiting is unbearable. I kept thinking of the hours and minutes to vote, that is the right exact time to vote. Its if’s too late to vote I might wasted my time the very next day as the voting process is starts accurately at every 24 hours.
Counting's days to end,……11 days For some who didn’t know why I am so desperate for this contest is this.

I can’t stand it no more. It’s been a week now. I want to scratch it real hard. I care no more of the pain. The chapped skin is stupidly itchy. My skin is flaking off. The ink has faded little bitty bit. Hubby keeps asking me to bear with it. My sweats worsen it. I don;t want to botch up the whole artistic creation. It took hours to get that piece marked permanently on my skin.
Bobby asked me to just slap on the itch. Well didn’t really help much. The itch is still there. I might snap within this few days. Psss…Beware my fellow peers, you don;t want to see me snarl!
“Jieh!! Did you feel the earth shake?”called out sis.
“ Got meh? No, I don’t feel anything. Wait I go ask around.”
“Wei , did the earth just judder or sneeze?”
“ Where got? Nola!”
“ Sis, Sorry no one felt a bit of it at all”
“Jieh, CL felt it in Mid Valley also. Everything was shaking here just now. I was so panicked!”
No one got hurt in this scene of phone call conversation or during the earth quake. Sister was traumatized.Fret not, she can still cope up with her life. Everything is back to normal half an hour later.
Mother Earth is in pain I guess. Human has disregarded that we are the harum-scarum that has stamp down their land. Tsunami, earthquake and typhoon has cause havoc at the South East Asia region. Land might have been shifted or relocated. Maps might have to re-alter. We are soon entering the danger zone of latitude and longitude then ..
War aren't that scary no more. The sudden rage of Mother Earth is what really shook the earth. There will be no place for man kind to hide the hideous rage. So?
LIVE YOUR LIFE! Don’t try to perplex things. Don’t crack your mind for some little debris that stuck somewhere in your oblongata. Nothing is more important than the one who is always right beside you! Clouds might fall, who knows? I am going to hug and love my self extra more now.
A flyspeck woman at her 30’s wearing tight yoga pants and a loose blouse; might be too concern of sun rays exposure; she has this long sleeve of togs covering both her hands. She came in quietly with a man at his 40-ish wearing a gold square frame spectacle and a massive, eye catching curly hair, wearing T-collar light blue button shirt. They looked around for a minute or two then sat down quietly behind a pillar away from those nosy eyes. The most isolate obscure sitting place in the shop. That is table 45.
One might not notice them if are too busy at work. They ordered a pot of tea and sat for 4 hours. Once in a while the man will walk to the washroom doing his fly while walking.
Day 2
Miss afraid of sun and Mr. Curly came again that noon. They are wearing the same outfit. It was awfully hot that day, without hesitation they sat on table 45. Not even an eye on any other comfortable seats. The old fans at their high speed are pulling in the hot air blowing at their oily face. Not one was seating at that particular area. The sun was burning hot blinding everyone’s eyes in the shop. They make no heed but sit comfortable facing the hot sun. I find it weird but who cares….. Again they sat for 4 hours with just a pot of Chinese tea. This really has brought my attention. Who the hell sat under the hot fucking sun for 4 hours?
Day 3
Ms. Afraid of the Sun came again with Mr. Curly bringing a child along. She must be 4 years of age. “Mummy mummy blab la bla “she address the lady. Ok so that is the child’s mom. A family of 3 came to eat today. Again ordered a pot of tea, asked if they would like to ordered some food to eat, “Later!” exclaimed the uncivil bitch. Not a smile. Her nose is constantly aiming the sky. At that time the child shouted “uncle, uncle”. Huh? Who is this man? It’s not the child’s father. Suspicious minds starts to eyeing them. The man ignores the child, not a word. His squinting eyes were look ing away from the child.
They again sat for few hours; the child was drench with sweat. Poor kid, she was playing with the toothpick, tissue and water to chase away her boredom. Then suddenly the mother yelled at her and gave her couples of hard cold slap on her face. She wept into tears. What is she thinking? She is slapping her kids in front of the public, subsequently yelled her to stop weeping. It was uncomfortable to witness her striking her own kid in public in such manner. The child hastily stops bawling and sat straight in her best behavior. An hour later they left.
Day 4
They came without the child and sat behind the pillar at the infamous table 45. They ordered a beer every half an hour. They sat for 6 hours that day. My curiosity got my nerve. What is with them sitting the whole day in the shop? It’s annoying for them sit in the shop ordering beer every half an hour. I walked to table 45, walked around that area. I was surprised to see that woman rub her legs against the man’s thigh then her flirty hands softly stroked on the man’s lap arousing Mr. Curly. Slut the word simply came to my mind. They were having affair behind the pillar at table 45 all those time.
Reminds me of that poor child, the mom brought her to witness all the ugly affair of hers’. Yet the innocent she got that slap from her very own mom in front of Mr. Curly. Seems to me is like mentally and physical abuse to me.
Life sometimes is kinda complicated. If parents could be more responsible on every way they are doing. Child shouldn’t be drag along.
Day 5
They came and conquer table 45 but did not last long as later table 44 and 46 were occupied. They were sandwich in between. I guess they felt uncomfortable and left early for other place.
Day 6
The little girl came along; they hang for more than 4 hours. The child again plays with her own self witness the ugly truth of her own mom. Mom was openly embracing the man who the child addressed as uncle.
Where got ghost? 3 short horror comedy stories from Singapore directed by Jack Neo. I am a fanatic for Jack Neo’s Hokkien movie. The title of the three short stories is Roadside Got Ghost, Forest Got Ghost and House Got Ghost.
The first story is about 3 swindlers who tried to scam thru 4D lottery telemarketing and how the ghost came after them.
I like the second story, Forest Got Ghost, I can’t help my self thinking of Ah Nan, and he is such a comedian. Nan anda friend who are in an army reservist, was doing topography training in the forest. They got lost while taking a short cut to complete their training. The funny thing about this short movie is the way they show off and insult at each other’s face in Hokkien.
The third story is an extend version from Money not enough 2. The dead mother returns to help her boys from a disaster landslide.
It's been awhile, I think it's time for my next ink. May be a ferocious back piece will do good on my big and wide flabby back. Come to think again If I am to wear a bare back gown or something .. wouldn't be appropriate. A small piece would not fit perfectly on my broad back. *sigh cincai la
After work, I clean, I wash, I wipe and I eat. Nothing amusing to shout out here. Its just dead dull. I am sulking.
Recently using me old camera to snaps few shots of me junk food and stuff, for the sake of updating a new post. LOL. Not much of a word, just shots! Too numb to write!
Nothing to do , mouth itchy junk food from Thai- imported. LOL
Puff of me day. Sort like Eau Claire, French Pastry.
My mind has becoming vaguer each day. It seems that I have short term memory too. Sometimes I forget that I drive to work and I waited for my hubby to pick me up at work. Cuckoo and time waisted *sigh..
Perhaps my mind has been showing flaccidity. The sign of aging is appearing. My blog is getting slow either. I have lost my ideas of writing. What the heck…And all I can think of is food.
Supper...
Yesterday after work, I hurried home took a shower; then drive hurriedly to JalanBukitBintangPark our car in LowYatPlaza. Walk hastily to FederalBowlArcade which is next to LowYatPlaza. I looked at the time, it’s already 11 pm. I asked the receptionist “Is it still open?” The receptionist replied me “yes, we are open until 1.30am”. Hubby and I paid at the reception; we walked in to this place where we were fascinated by the Zen interior designs and the varieties of food.
We have entered a food paradise. Yaki Yaki Japanese BBQ Buffet.
It was lovely; there were no other customers. It appears like we have reserved the entire place for ourselves. The ambience and the lighting were so romantic. The best thing about this is we do not have to queue to pick our food, no crowd. Yohooo….. I‘ll let the photos do the talking.
Oyster and Sashimi has always caught my attention so there is no other thing that is worth it than this one……(I love Sashimi, Scallop and Oyster la , of coz there are much more selections than my favourite)
I only took a few shots. There are more foods then what is in the picture. I was way too busy eating than to snap a picture.
Yaki Yaki is currently having a promotion till the end of September. For those who are working nearby Bukit Bintang is best to eat during the lunch hour as the price is crazily low at 19.90++.only. No I did not left out any figure in 19.90++. .. It's a non halal restaurant by the way.
