Was in a study frenzy when I looked out my window and saw this little thing sitting in a shade out in the backyard. I thought it was strange that it was sitting on the floor not moving. I went out to have a look and realised that it was injured but it managed to fly away.
2 days later I looked out my window and saw it again. Sitting on the same spot looking wet and miserable. I knew I just had to do something! I didn’t want it to end up as cat food. I went out with a towel in hand ready to catch it. It was so weak it could barely run from me. =(
Had to do a quick run to Coles to get some bird food. This is it all fluffed up and looking so miserable!
I don’t know whether I was being naive but I had hoped that it would slowly regain it’s strength and be set free. Sad to say it died the next morning. Right in front of my eyes, I saw it struggling for it’s final few breaths.
I am still quite distraught over it but at least I did what I can.
It’s never easy seeing the passing of a life. Sigh……
I buried it under this tree in my backyard, close to where I found it.
RIP little one.

There’s always a first for everything.
First love.
First kiss.
First car.
First house.
……
Yesterday I ate my very first luxury mooncake.
=p
Not the best mooncake I’ve had but it’s LV!
Mooncake aside. I received a call from mom this morning.
My brother got into an accident. For some reason his car caught on fire and was totaled. People who know me well know that we don’t have a good relationship. As a matter of fact I haven’t had a decent conversation with him since high school and I always thought that I don’t really give a rat’s arse what happened to him.
I really thought so but I was wrong.
He could’ve been killed in that accident. What if he blacked out during impact? What if the seat belt got jammed? He would’ve been trapped in the burning inferno.
Thank goodness he came out fine except for a minor cut on his hand and whiplash.
It made me think of a lot of things.
Life is short. Don’t take anything for granted.
I hope everyone had a happy mid autumn!

I find myself pulling away.
Don’t really know why I’m acting this way, really because I want to be able to feel good about things. I guess I’m just not there yet.
Things were, for once going well. Up until……
Then everything came crashing down.
Don’t know what I’m feeling. So confused.
More than anything I really wish there was someone with me here. Right now.
It’ll be nice to have someone to lean onto once in awhile.

Sydney came and went though I wish it didn’t have to. I’m quite glad we bonded so well over the trip. Ever since I could remember I disliked being around girls so I really appreciate the friendship I have with them.
We ate, we shopped, we went places, we went through ‘hardships’ together. Trust me. Walking under a cloudless sky with a glaring sun for 40 minutes with hardly any shade is NOT fun! They should plant more trees in Sydney!
This is the view from our apartment. 68th floor. Nice, huh? We would’ve been paying $900+ for this place if it wasn’t for MT. =D
I’m quite disappointed with everything as of late. I was really looking forward to getting into clinic and start treating patients, learn new things, touching up on my techniques. How wrong was I to expect anything. I thought I had a pretty good clinician but it turns out that she’s only good to the people she likes. I thought I finally found good friends, friends that I could rely on no matter what. How wrong I was. I’m surrounded by messed up people. That’s for sure.
Just one more year. One more year and I’m out of here. I cannot wait.
I know I should be focusing on the positives but it’s really hard to do right now when nothing is going right. Sigh…… Where’s a shoulder when you need one?

Have been MIA as of late.
So what have I been up to?
Sick! Possible swine flu. I kid you not. At least the worst is over. Fever is down but I’m getting some pretty bad reflux from the antibiotics.
Uni started last week and it’s crazy. Absolute madness the amount of work that is required out of us! Whoever said year 3 is bad? Pft. Masters is totally crazy! It’s only week 2 and I already have a presentation. =(
I am in white now. =D I’m starting to treat in the student clinic. Totally made a mess of myself last week. I thought I would be excited to enter clinic but now that I’m there, I’m feeling overwhelmed and drained. Where has all the hype and excitement gone? Wednesdays and Saturdays are such a drag now. Cannot wait until I’m over and done with the course. I just want to chill and not do anything for awhile.
I’m currently watching this cantonese series. In it there’s a lady that has Alzheimer’s Disease. That brought back so much memories of grandma. Sigh…… There was this scene where she peed on herself in a dressing room. I cried when I watched that because grandma too forgot what the toilet was for and peed on the bedroom floor.
I miss grandma.
Piggies are going to the vet on Thursday for a checkup. Oh lumpy lumps. Please go away.
Parker’s start this weekend! Am quite excited. Really need this little pick me up seminar.

It hurts pretty bad.
But I’ll somehow have to manage.
There’s still hope.

It’s finally over.
The past few days have been pretty hectic with prayers and grandmom’s final arrangements.
All my life there was always grandma. Now she’s gone. She has nurtured and cared for so many people during her time, even to those that she has no relations with. She really was a force to reckon with.
To see her slowly succumb to Alzheimer’s was difficult. Seeing her slowly loose herself, unable to perform the most simple things that all of us take for granted. It hurts seeing her that way.
She was hospitalized around 3 weeks ago and was bed ridden ever since. To have her pass so soon and the way she did is a blessing. We wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
She’s gone to a better place now. A place that is rid of all the suffering that she had to endure.
Her funeral procession was magnificent, just as the person she was. Everyone that came today were people that genuinely cared about her. And to have hundreds of people of that sort come without invitation, I must say, grandmom really must have done a lot of things right in her life.
Everything went so well today, right down to the weather. I’ve heard people say that when a great person has passed it would rain and stop at the right time. Today is one of those days. The gods were mourning with us and at the same time grandmom is telling us in a way that she has indeed went up. Right when we were done with placing her ashes in the temple and were going to spread the remaining in the sea, the weather cleared up. The sky was blue with a hint of dark clouds at the distance.
I’m proud to have been a part of her life.
I take pride and joy in calling myself her granddaughter.
She will be missed.
Goodbye grandmom.

This was initially a happy post of how I managed to saw off the trees in the backyard.
Then I got a call from dad.
Grandma has passed.
=(

2009 is proving to be a really difficult year!
Girl died.
Relationships died.
Family issues.
Bf’s medical report showed that he had a terminal disease thank god it was only a false positive!! But there’s still his liver to watch out for. My goodness the 2 weeks that we were waiting for confirmation results to come out are the longest 2 weeks I had to go through.
Grandma was hospitalized last night. She has breast cancer and in the advance stages of Alzheimer’s. We still don’t know how bad the cancer is. Told dad to advise the relatives to get some xray done just so we know how long she’s got left. In the condition that she is in, there is no way any form of therapy/treatment can be done…… but I still reckon we should at least know how far along the cancer is so we can all prepare ourselves. Lets see that they say about the xrays.
Sigh……
Thins just cannot possibly get worse, right?
