Wake Up Call

My mum is getting better but she cannot move too much after the surgery because her wounds are still healing. I still don't know the results of the tumour like what is it and if it is cancerous.Yesterday, I got a call from the social worker and she asked some questions, and then based on my answers, she said that I qualify for 100% medifund which means that my mum's outpatient bills such as seeing the doctors and medicine will be free. That's good news. So tomorrow I have to come early to the hospital at 11am to do the application form and submit the relevant documents. Since my medisave is still enough (hopefully, I don't know how much is the surgery :S) to cover for her inpatient treatment at the hospital, they won't render assistance for it. Actually, I was hoping they can assist but it's okay. Anyway, since my medisave has been used, then I just have to take extra care of myself so that I can spend the next few years rebuilding back my medisave for future hospital bills incurred coz basically I don't have insurance so that is my only source of funds. My mum can also make use of it.


By the way, I have got a bit used to waking up early in the morning to iron, do the laundry, prepare breakfast and then hanging the laundry in no particular order. Of course there were some blunders like I didn't know my brother's underwear has all been worn so he had to wear yesterday's one. Then, forgetting to dry my brother's socks and had to dry it infront of the fan which only let it to being half dry instead. Oh, I also forgot to keep the remaining food on the table in the fridge such as the soya bean milk. But these are all learning points and I learn to multi task. Heck, I even arrived early to work yesterday despite having to run errand where I had to drop by the self paying machine to pay for my utilities bill.


Money wise, well it's not so bad except for transport coz as I go to the hospital daily after work. But Im trying to cope and we did get money from well wishers namely my mum and my father's relatives so we also use that to get by. I would say they're pretty generous and I am thankful for it. And at one point, I didn't eat much coz I was trying to save money and I ended up feeling very faint by the time I reached the hospital in the late evening and was this close to fainting. Luckily I ended up at the waiting area on time before I mustered enough energy to get myself a cup of milo.


I really hope my mum will get better with each passing day even though she's not that mobile yet. I will pray for her like how I prayed for her successful operations. Dear God, thank you for taking care of our family and please continue to look after us.

Birthday Gathering & House Hunting

Last week, I celebrated a friend of mine's belated birthday together with another friend at her condo. Sadly, this would be the last time we would hold the celebration at her place because she has finally managed to sell off her condo unit after one year of looking for a buyer. Mostly we used the swimming pool facilities although the two of us didn't swim at all but just chill under the shade. We brought home cooked food and I really appreciated my friend for doing this for us, thinking about how the young son of a friend of us would love the swimming pool for kids. She is so selfless and kind to her friends and I'm truly blessed to have her in my life.  While one was selling off the house, the other friend was on the verge of getting a dream house for herself and her young son. In life, we have many priorities and things to look forward to. Each of our dreams and aspirations are different from one another, like for me, getting a house is not a priority at the moment.  ...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...
