I went to Forever 21 and tried on this dress. Nope, I didn't go to shop, but source for a battery charger for my camera which I damaged. Since Forever 21 is also there, might as well... Haha.

#229: Life is a cycle

My gran is alright at the moment but something dreadful happened. A relative of mine had passed away two days ago. He is my maternal grandmother's brother. I`m not really close to him so I`m not that affected but after all, I do feel sad for my mum as well as my grandmother. Hais. This is the cycle of life. To me, it is somehow like a bell-shaped curve.

When you`re born, you get to learn ABC and start to take little steps to maturity.

Your prime arrives probably during the mid-term of your lifespan, say 30-40 years. That`s when you are considered most successful in building up your career and having a family of your own.

However, when approaching old age, you start to realise that illnesses strike you and at times, you`re acting like a baby cos you`re unable to feed yourself or even recall the 26 alphabets in ABC. That`s why I say a person`s life resembles a bell-shaped curve. It starts to rise initially, signifying growth till it reaches its peak and starts to decline, indicating poor health already.

Life is a cycle. We are born; we die someday.

She gave me this out of the blue on monday morning! Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket


I didn`t expect her to give me a cheer-up gift! LOL. She really is one kind soul.

But honestly, so long as my friends stand by me and provide a listening ear when I`m most in need, I`ll already be very grateful. I`ll do likewise when you guys are in trouble ya? :)


So, I just wanna say a big THANK YOU! LOVES!

#227: May God bless Grandpa

That`s it. I can`t take it anymore. You know what`s happening in my house now? My dad`s calling all the relevant people to discuss about my grandfather's funeral arrangements. My mum, on the other hand, is speaking to my relatives to inform them and ask for their opinions whether to let my gran pass away peacefully in the nursing home or the hospital. He hasn't really crossed over, the doctor merely told my dad to have mental preparation cos he`s really in an unfavourable state now. So, my parents are now undertaking all the necessary arrangements should my gran suddenly leaves us. I`m breaking down soon. On top of the exam stress, I still have to deal with this. How am I supposed to take the pressure?!

Things go like this. A fortnight ago, my gran was taken to Tan Tock Seng hospital from the nursing home due to breathing difficulties. He was stroke-ridden for 10 whole years to date. I went to visit him with my family at the hospital twice. The first time I went, he was really in bad shape. He cannot consume anything except nutritious milk through a feeding tube via his nose. I could not stand my emotions and went to the toilet to cry. You know how hurtful it is to see a loved one, especially one who waits everyday without fail, rain or shine, at Bedok Library for the school bus to fetch me home everyday in such a state now? That was in primary one of course, and not long later, he was diagnosed with a stroke. But still, my gran lived with us until 5 years ago, my sister arrived in this world and the house was too small to accomodate my sickly gran, we decided to send him to a nursing home.

Earlier this week, he was miraculously discharged by the doctor though I really see no improvement in his condition. Today, the home called my dad and asked him whether he wants to arrange my gran to pass away in the nursing home or send him to the hospital. He is half paralysed due to the stroke, cannot even recognise me- his granddaughter, nor can he talk to anyone. Do you know how disheartening and heartbreaking can it be to see your loved one not recognising you, when once, we shared such family-warming moments together? It`s damn hard to cope, plus the exams arriving in like roughly 3 weeks? I also can`t stand my parents talking to each other like my gran has really left us, but to put it realistically, it`s preparation. But really, I can`t stand it!

No one in my immediate family has passed away before, except those on my maternal side in Thailand. But I`ve not attended their funerals so I don`t know what it feels like. What if my gran really leave me during my A's or worse, before my A's?! I am definite that I cannot take the pressure!!! No amount of consolation and encouragement from anyone can save me from my turmoil ok. I`m damn emotional de la, if you haven`t realise.

However, I`m just trying to cope with my inner emotions now, and you know I`m a strong girl. My family is planning to go to the home to see him tomorrow morning. I really pray hard and hope that my grandfather can persevere till next year. At least let him enjoy Christmas before taking him away.

May GOD bless him. Really.

#226: Dejected about prelims but motivated by Mrs Wee!

Please don`t ask me about my prelim results. They are the worst set of results I`ve gotten in my entire life. I really wonder what I`ve been doing for the past 2 years. While my life away? I highly think so.

Anyways, I met my GP teacher in the ladies' last week. She told me that I have the potential to go for an 'A' for the subject. I was so thrilled cos the best grade I`ve ever gotten for GP is a pathetic 'D'. All thanks to comprehensions. My essays are not bad y`know! They range from the worst 28 to the best 33 upon 50 marks leh. So, a 'B' grade at least. I mean, I don`t dare to even dream of acing compre since it`s my killer component. So, I thought I can settle for a mere 'B' for the A's. Who knows, she told me that I can attain an 'A'! WOW. I was definitely flattered. Told me in the ladies. What a place. LOL.

Then today, I met her again along the corridors after her lesson. I was alone again, so she talked to me again. She said, 'Huimin, I think you can achieve an 'A' or a 'B' at least if you are careful in your language. You have the ability to write A grade essays because your language is considered above average but you need to be careful about careless grammatical mistakes. Many often, your comprehension papers pull you down so I believe with more practice, you can show improvement and do well.' WOAH. These are the exact words she bestowed upon me leh. I was so touched. :'( But I really wonder why she must only talk to me in private. LOL. Secrets-sharing time. Haha.

Anyways, I was so happy I topped the class for Geog Prelim exam!!!! Haha. Though it's a relatively low grade, but still, my effort showed improvement leh. Ok, i`m gonna embarrass myself here. Y`know, I only got a very low 'U' grade for the Common Test cos I never did study for the exam and now, hahahaha, my efforts have paid off. Yays! So happy.

Ok, happy things aside. I flunked all 3 H2 subjects terribly. Big disappointment. Gonna say goodbye to Friendster, Facebook (it's so fun sia!) and Blogger. Please kindly wait patiently for my big comeback after A's ya? LOVES!
