Was reminded through email yesterday that this blog seems to have gone to the happy blogging hunting grounds.

 

Alright, I admit, I have been ridiculously lazy, awfully unmotivated and completely uninterested in writing in general.

 

Hahahah, yeah, you can imagine what I'm like at work if I'm like this with the blog

 

Things have moved dramatically since the last post.

 

First up: dad's not doing so good. He's heart's not getting any better, and we've had a few scares with his legs bloating up and turning tender. He's also been told that he has to go for dialysis, yep, its pretty much end stage renal failure when you have to go for dialysis. He's pretty much on the path to multiple organ failure. It really is now a matter of time. I don't know why it hasn't really hit the rest of the family, but it's a very very dodgy situation.

 

SGH is supposed to be  arranging the whole vein operations etc so that he can get permanent tubes in his arms, but because it was taking such a long while,  he and mum have turned to alternative therapies - some qi gong thing - and now he doesn't want to go for dialysis. Frankly, it is up to him but sigh. This is a tough sitch.

 

Then: i have quit SPH! yeah serving out notice. last day in april and then am off to explore  the big wide world - ie i dunno what i'm gonna do yet

its sheer torture right now though - am totally switched off.

What else.... hummm...

several interesting things
- had a weird period where my leg went numb - it was apparently cos I had a really bad flu through CNY
- we went to watch Chingay: tickets to padang seats - it was weird. There was a skit involving people dressed as mediaval soldiers storming a castle. Totally... huh...
good bits were the fireworks and the chinese firecrackers - 1st time I saw those too.
- we also caught the ultra campy dim sum dollies. Bought tixes for mom and dad and am glad to report they liked it very much.

Highlights of the year so far
- Forrest - this amazing restaurant in Orchidville, Mandai and their milk crabs, Whaaa
- Yoga! fua, we've been going quite a bit. Strangely addictive. But my shoulders are now totally sore.

alright... that's the update. But big one though. Grins
