My Mama


Today was a sad day.

While I was catching a nap from my Microbiology mugging, I was woken up by my handphone. My sister called to inform me that Mama (my dad's mum) passed away just now.

I was sitting by my bed. Started to wonder a lot. Heart started to ache a bit. Then pipe burst a bit... I wet my pillow a bit.

When my dad asked me to scan this photo, I'm glad that he did.

Mama has been a wonderful grandma to me. Her way of showing love to me was through food and I grew up enjoy her "Pok Ngi" - hokkien style fried mince meat balls with turnips and carrots. That's her secret weapon.

Whenever she knows that I'm back from Singapore, she will start feeding me with all the goodies. Every morning, she would go Pasar and dabao some kuihs for me while I was in deep sleep. And she would also insist treating me dim sum once in a week.

She had Parkinson's and some other medical complications which back then I do not know. But this was the last photo I took with her. She was not in good shape but still she could happily draw out a cute smile from her face.

I felt my heart ached whenever I see her going through all the needle poking and tablets swallowing. Now that she's gone. I will miss her even more.

While my heart is aching still and there might be a lot of questions, I know that God is my stronghold and He still here and He still remembers me.

"Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God."

-Psalms 43:5

(the funny thing is that during the breaking of this news, Adrian and Kelvin were knocking at my door after they had come back from collecting sponsored stuff for KEWOC marketing. Haha, anyways, good job KEWOC :D)

(thanks geri for the bubble tea :D)

Inertia





That is what caused ning to injure her ankle.

Last night after jogging with Adrian, I played BBall with Ning, Hui Ann and Michael for about less than 20 minutes and guess what? My inertia sprained her ankle. :(

It's my inertia, not me k...

How did that happen:
I think i was chasing after her to receive the ball from Michael, or is it Hui Ann, then... I think she tried to intercept. Or is it the reverse? Can't remember liao... the thing is.. I didn't even realise that my stationary position could result in her spraining her ankle!!!!

"With more power, comes with greater responsibility" - Spiderman's Uncle

More reason for me to shed my INERTIA power (physics major people you could rebuke me for the misuse of all these physics terms all you want)

More reasons for me to lose weight.....

Called her just now and her ankle has swollen!!!!!!!!

On behalf of my inertia, I sincerely apologise for causing such a misfortune to you!
(Inertia ah... how many times I've told you NOT to be so stubborn!!! See!! Now Hui Ning's ankle swollen liao!! You tell me how)

Will be praying for her that she heals fast!!

Sleepy


It's now my 2 hour break before my next lesson. While waiting to cool down myself before my 1 hour power nap, thought of updating my blog.

I am quite amazed at how I have gotten used to sleeping very very late at night and waking up very early in the morning. 4 hours of sleep has become my norm. More than 7 hours of sleep is classified as a luxury. Really. Maybe God is stretching me in this aspect... haha...

Still, sleeping during lecture is still a big problem to me. Countless times i have been shot by innocent friends during my sleep. Here's an example.

Also, being known as "the KIAN HUAT who always look tired", it's very easy for Prof Chan to catch me dosing off or nearly doing so. :( Well, at least I'm trying :D

Instead of whining and comment negatively, I should set a new direction to myself. Like what Pastor Caesar has been doing, be positive in everything you do. Yeah, it's almost impossible if you're so active in hall and a student who aims to excel at the same time. And NUS is really good at that stretching students "indirectly". That's why I need more faith!

Yeah I need to work on that. Go Louis!!

Ok, I'm quite cool now. Need to nap. じゃね！

P.S. Hope my mum doesn't see this :S

Making a come back


REVIVAL

It's been 2 years since I last blogged.

Don't know why I stopped.

But on this very night, my determination for blogging made a come back. I realised that it is very necessary for me to blog because the process itself forces me to reflect on my life and from there I am able to see what's right and what's not. Perhaps the past 2 years, I have not been reflecting. Just labouring and labouring... chasing after winds??

So many things have passed and even as I read through my past blog entries, it never failed to make me laugh at myself. The things that I blogged about 2 years ago were so trivial compared to now.

2 years... not a very long period of time, but enough to make me grow... so much that I couldn't even believe it, which made me thank God even more because I'm what I am now because I'm part of His plans :)

In an attempt to revive old blog, I hope to discover more of myself.

"An unreflected life is one that is not worth living" - Anonymous

I believe that my blog entries are not always as serious as this. As for now, there's nothing much in my mind that I want to share considering the fact that it's 3:40am in the morning and I'll be having my Pharmacy Practice II CA this wednesday. However, sometimes when Louis feels that life is not just about work and study, Louis will switch on his com and start blogging. (at least better than doing other time-killing things online)

お楽しみにしてください！
