Yup, I'm home alone! Everybody's gone to M'sia. I was supposed to go!! But cos of the op, I changed my mind...cos you'll never know what may happen at the very crowded customs in M'sia... hmmm...so it's alone at home till tmr!
Just went to Nathalie Fernandez's website. It's really cool. Read about her camp and all. What she said really touched me! How we're zeros without God. But once God is beside us, we're a perfect TEN. Amazing huh? :D I'm so so glad that He is my God, my friend! I love You, Lord!
haha. managed to get my determination going..and guess what? I finshed my zuo wen! 3 and a half pages long... (Satisfied :) ) ok, now one down...6 more to go. All the way Tamlyn! haha that's self-encouragement!
OH. daddy came home last night and I told him all all about the fake post man thing. Just didn't say that I was so freaked out. the guy came in the morning, kept knocking on the door.saying what post man? I looked out, through the peekhole. A post man in plain clothes....? I thought they had uniforms? I was so worried and tried to just concentrate on the Doha games on TV while the knocking went on....The freaky thing was that he came back in the evening. Oh, I don't know why but I was really afraid that he might break down the front door or smth...haha. action-packed movie....
Anyway, in the end...he was just some "friendly driver" may I quote from some company, and delivering a hamper!! OH my. What was I thinking?! Guess it's the scariness that comes with the freedom of being home-alone!! Silly me.
CORRINNE MAY! I love her voice. Was so happy that she was in the news today. Managed to link her blog from jie jie's. She's so pretty and sings so well. And the best part is that she's a christian. Some reporter asked her before why she didn't want to become a contemporary christian singer. Her answer impressed me! It's because she doesn't want to narrow the group of pple listening to her songs. She wants everybody to hear her songs...and probably that way...she can reach out to even more pple thru her songs and touch even more lives. WOW. Bet it's all part of God's plan for her. :)

Oh my. So many things have happened. But here's the Major Major One.
I had my first experience in the operating theatre on 8 dec. a day before the band concert. good choice...haha. I almost wasn't allowed to go.... :/
So here it is. We checked in on at 2:10 on that day. 5 mins early. I was still thinking that the operation to remove part of my toenail will be a minor one, like really really minor. And was even thinking about joining the rest at the sound check at CJC later that day, after the op. But we waited and waited. For almost 3 hours before it was my turn. It's not that I can't wait. But, the 3 hours just made it all worse.
Here's the things that got me even more w0rried:
1. I actually had to change into one of those green gowns. nothing wrong about that. but it just made the minor op seem so much more MAJOR...
2. I just found out that I had to take injections. >_<>
3. the patient next to me returned. totally weakened and drained out from her op....
i was really panicking...
ok, so it was finally my turn. I was so nervous that i started losing my cool. The walk to the operating theatre was so so so long.....then inside, i had to wait for my turn, again. The nurse asked me a few questions, like my name and all..just to see if i knew where i was and why. Then there was this question: "Where is your site of operation?" I was really a little blur by then...huh? Site? I was thinking as in where will my operation take place- so I said"Here?" And gave her a puzzled look. She tried again and again then I finally got it. Site of Operation: Left big toe. haha.
Going on, they needed my dad's IC number and I didn't know. Tried calling him and my mom, but nobody picked up the phone. Now I was really really panicking! How? Thank God it was all settled; my dad called back later.
About 5 mins later, I was still waiting for my turn while listening to Gold 90 on the radio. This 1.9m, sec 2 boy walked about. Toe bandaged and all. I was like WOAH..the bandage was so big...and i think the bed was a little too short for him...haha! ok, I'm being mean. anyway. His toe was still bleeding, everywhere :O I was on the verge of backing out already.
skip skip everything, I am being so long-winded! The anaesthesia injections were ant-bites plus one time more intense. I could feel the surge on the first one as the trigger was pressed in. Deep breaths! Hang on girl. Then the doc came to explain to me how the whole op would be carried out. blah blah blah. It was finally over. And I'm still alive! :)
I had to sit in a wheelchair. bad, that I could't really walk. Just a little good, that I got to experience the 'true handicappedness' one feels when unable to walk. and not have the childish thinking any more, that i once had ---- that it was 'fun' to sit in a wheelchair. Totally Not.
Thank God. For seeing me through in all. Nerve-wrecking experience.
I'm able to walk better now. The bandage's smaller. Just worried about the stitch to be taken out 2 weeks later....
I got to perform for the a band concert too. And for that, I've got to thank my friends for all the help. And thank you all for your concern too: Mommy, Jie jie, Amelia (lil' sister), Brenda!, Elizabeth, Ms Lim, Ms Wee, Ms Chang, Agnes, Aunty Jane, Aunty Linda, Yiwen, Sharon, Yi Ting!, Gladys, Jinger, Tingting, JingXi, Grace, Rebecca....
Thank you so much! :) Thank GOD for watching over me and for His peace and comfort. :)
It's so nice to know that you've got such wonderful friends and family and an Incredible God beside you, and backing you up ALL THE TIME!!
