GOD, please help GRANDMA

I paid grandma a visit this morning. I "prepare" myself (emotionally) since yesterday, I constanly remind myself not cry...

Grandma replied me with a smile when I called her, I wonder she recognise me. Aunt said she knows, just that she is too weak to reply, her mind is still clear. Grandma is now like a baby, she likes people to visit her and she always smile when the visitors call her. She is getting weaker each day...

There are lots of huge blisters all over her body (not sure what's the cause) and also bedsores, she is definitely in great pain. However, Grandma is a tough woman, she never complain or make any noise, she handle all the pain by herself:( I held my tears as I don't want Grandma to cry with me (like my previous visit), it will take up a lot of her energy. I tried, I really tried very hard but...

Mum said all of us must "let go" - she told Grandma that Grandpa is waiting for her in the heaven, she needs not worry about us as she can still "see" us up there.

Grandma is very skinny. Initially the blisters started on her feet, it is moving upwards, now seems like her throat is affected as well (she has difficulties to eat). There are plenty of open wounds, as the blisters burst. Her skin on both legs turn black and it is moving to her upper body.

I cried when I said goodbye as after each visit I worry that it will be the last.
I am crying when I'm writing this blog as I can feel that she is in great pain constantly.
I will cry when I think of her as she sacrifice so much for the family and she loves us unconditionally.

I miss her fantastic cooking skills... I miss her touch... I miss her smile... I even miss her nagging...

GOD, please help GRANDMA!!
Please do your best so that she won't suffer anymore...

How Well You Know Your Teacher

In a place call FanTaSia,

Date: 14th August 2010

Location: Universal Studios, Resort World Singapore

Paticipants: Raymond (darling's MBA classmate), Xora (darling's MBA classmate), Alvin (Xora's husband), Alexis (Xora's sister)

The most popular spot for photo taking.

Waited for more than 30min, because they are late...

The 3 successful MBA holder

We were curios whether we can climb up the tree and take the aeroplane ride...

Our 1st group photo in front of Madagascar: A Crate Adventure (indoor river boat ride) -- openning soon.

Where's the Ogre?

Only see beauty and the beast:)

Is Alex!!

Shrek and Princess Fiona are here too!!

Not sure who is this cute boy in Far far Away Land

We just came back from Far Far Away Land.

1st experience of rock climbing.

Make sure is fully equip, safety first.

They said I climbed so fast, like little monkey!! I think because I'm not too heavy and my tiny feet fit nicely on the grips. However, I didn't reach the top:(

I shouldn't look down; I shouldn'tgive up so fast!!

Darling has a rough start but he climbed till the top.

Sweaty and bleeding...

We did it!! Wonder why Raymond's certificate is different colour??

His pet is a kind of scary.

Marty, Alex, Gloria and Melman from Madagascar.

The main street.

Another main street.

He loves jumping shoot.
After many shoots... finally, a good one!!

Xora said must take photos with all the window displays.
I love cherries
Some many chemicalsFeeling itchy??

Betty Boop!!

He wants an individual shot with Marilyn Monroe...
Nevermind...

Battlestar Gallactica: Cylon aad Battlestar Gallactica: Human are both temporarily closed.

Anyway, both of us won't take the ride -- scary!!

Their side income.

Alvin is such a joker...

Puss can't take his eyes out of me:)

Last ride of the day, Explore the Lost World.

We cut queue using the express pass...

and we are all dry...

The entrance of Ancient Egypt: Revenge of The Mummy.

Apparantly, this is the scraiest ride of the day, I nearly "chicken out" after listening to Alvin's remark (this is his second visit to Universal Studios). I ended up shut my eyes throughout the journey.

Actually, the ride is okay. The scariest part of this ride is you have no idea what's next as it is very dark..

Did you see the "UFO" on top right hand corner of the photo?!

Yup, we changed! Although the top was dry, other parts are all soaking wet!!

The 5th Avenue.

Tired, I need a seat..

Alvin is being silly again!!

and again..

He even managed to convince Raymond to join in!!

Darling was wondering whether we can use this as wedding car.. This is not bad too!

I'm not sure who he is, but I think he is very scary, so I didn't take photo with him.

I bet Alvin is more scary...

Darling shouted KFC instead of Woody Woodpecker...

Frankenstein walked to us and this is our only group photo

(front: darling, me, Raymond, Frankenstein; back: Alvin, Xora, Alexis)

Smart penguins from Madagascar: Skipper, Kowalski, Private, and Rico

Conclusion: The ticket is expensive, but each of us have 3 express passes, free (Thanks Xora)!! Also, they control the crowd each day, so we need not to wait too long for the rides. Most importantly, we have fun!! I laugh so much:)
