sama sama

hello people! i wrote the following on 15 nov but actually didn't post it & saved as draft & only logged on today 22 nov to check. ha!

"same same in Malay la.

since the 'gahmen' is so pro-elderly now, i, being the obedient loyal subject will follow wat the big brother is doing. so u see the font seize is bigger.

well, my dearest tummy continues with its growling business and generating juices. so be it, one more to go! don't think too much, everyone says.

and it's true i think too much.

but hah, easy to say. yours truly dearest me continue to be indecisive daily (much like the weather in exerter) - for eg. :

can't decide what to eat b'cos i don't feel hungry but mum is goin crazy thinkin of what to cook. so i try to 'siam' her whenever i feel that she is goin to pop THE question: what u wan to eat hah? aiyoh, hdb 3-room flat, run where?! OR

can't decide whether i am eatin too little or too much, should i eat another spoonful? or is it too much for the tummy to digest? i

and i have become a woman of few words. can u imagine ms low being gentle & quiet?!"


well, i am still very stingy with conversation conserving energy for my last chemo.



today i want to share with you the pic of my nephew who is walking on his own now!

looking forward to running along with him.



wah! so many friends are going to be in s'pore this dec!

i’m a bubbly girl

For the past month since my third chemo, my tummy has been growling and growling and growling and growling. It sounded like I had a private symphony orchestra playing exclusively for me. There was so much acid, I was literally ‘foaming’ in the mouth – bubbles was forming in the mouth constantly. So when my nephew came visiting, I challenged him to a bubble spitting competition and of course I won!

When I described the condition to dr khoo, telling him that my tummy was unhappy, in his calm & reassuring manner, his exact reply was “简直就是造反了”. Then I realized my orchestra members are probably 小红卫兵playing a variation of <造反有理小夜曲>!

Then dr khoo decided to take away the steroid from the chemo. So for the past week, the tummy has been just growling and growling. I guess some of the orchestra members have decided to 下海become businessmen and I managed to convince the remaining members to play 胃胃不要怕instead.

So I am eating more these days, keeping my activity level low, reserving energy to go into round 5!
