I’m Coming Home For Christmas…

I am currently taking Clexane for these 5 days and will be taking Warfarin for this 3-6 months time.

Sial, just this line alone is technical enough for me..

1. I did not take long hours flight recently.
2. No one in my family has similar problems.
3. Not taking any special pills.

It started with backache (because I slept on the couch yes I know I’m smart) and then I felt my right leg knee was a bit painful and I thought maybe I was standing for too long.  The 3 hours practice at church feels like 3 centuries for me as I kept trying to find opportunity to sit down. By the evening, I felt the pain spread to my leg muscles and I can’t really tell which part is painful and I thought maybe it could because of the bad weather and I might be having “fung sap” for my old injuries on my right ankle?

I woke up middle of night. It was just very painful. Painful. I tried massaged it and find the most comfortable posture I can sleep (now I am lying straight on the floor).

I went to see the Chinese physician (Master Urut) on Sunday evening after Jin Chong came back from church, hoping that the Master will help me to massage the painful-numb-painful leg but he didn’t. He told me that I have a very weak womb and lack of blood. He prescribed me 3 sets of Chinese herbs medicine that will strengthen me and advised me to come back  after 3 days. No kidding, I almost got to write down the boiling instruction…soak in water for 15 minutes, boil 3 bowl of waters and become 1 bowl water, etc…

I went to work on Monday. Now, call me one-leg-pain. I wore slippers and my whole car (and myself) smell like a walking salonpas. Sial salonpas is expensive…My boss and I were researching if my right leg was swollen as compared to my left leg (I think I start to lose feeling of my right leg…haha). Only managed to drink the first prescription of soup on Monday evening.

The next day, I called up Jin Chong at 10am and told him that I am in front of SDMC. Yes, I drove all the way there by myself and yes it got to be no kidding seriously painful for me to step out from this painful zone…I was referred from Bone specialist to a Joint specialist and the doctor suspected I may have blood clot on my knee and asked me to take a blood test and ultrasound scanning….for my right leg.

Looooooooooooooooooooong wait of story and I make it short, I was required to be warded and to be transferred to the Blood specialist doctor…So there I was…with Jin Chong..We confirmed the admission procedure by7pm? Tired. :( Leg pain, wallet pain.

We went back home to pack. I did my admission checklist. Man, it is more like a holiday trip. And the bf assigned me to write Christmas cards since I can’t go anywhere…So if anyone of you receive my handwritten or electronic cards, it is sincere and hard work.. I can’t be mobile shopping for Christmas……

Man, this is so long and I feel so sleepy typing all these and it is only 8:05pm.

Thank you all for your SMS, cards, gifts, and prayers. If you notice a woman keep talking to her feet, yes that’s ME (the bible says speak to the mountain and cast it to the sea, it shall be removed, Amen). I am speaking to the 2 bloody clots to be DISSOLVED DISSAPPEARED AND GO AWAYYYY.

*Still praying in tongues*

I checked in yesterday night after our Christmas party at 10pm and I had my first injection :((((((( at 11pm. Shhh, I teared a little. Not very painful, but think about the 9 remaining shots, I am cursing the blood clots already.

I woke up this morning at 7am. No choice, my alarm rang and I couldn’t fall back to sleep.  Everything seemed normal except the bill is about RM900+ by now and I am with a less swollen leg. Good sign. Just about to enjoy my breakfast, the lab came in my room and I was served with another needle for blood test.

I don’t know why, I just don’t like needle.

11am. Got my second shot of Clexane. Yesterday was three fingers left on my stomach, Now, three fingers right on my stomach. 2 down. 8 more to go.

KF and Michelle came and visited me. Then Karyn and mom dropped by before her scheduled check up. Jin Chong came and brought some sinful food and more pillows for me.

Reading and replying work emails.
Checking Mark Kwan FB. hoho.
Told mom and papa don’t worry.
Greg and Jenn is flying here on Friday.
The insurance rejected my application. Sial. Need to call the agent tomorrow.
Maxis sent me my bill, finally. I’m gonna call 126 tomorrow.

5pm. 5pm.5pm.5pm. 5pm.5pm.5pm. 5pm.5pm.5pm. 5pm.5pm.5pm. 5pm.5pm.5pm. 5pm.5pm.5pm. 5pm.5pm.5pm. 5pm.5pm.5pm.5pm.

5pm.

The nurse guided me and I gave myself the 3rd shot. :(

7 more shots to go.

According to the doctor, I will be on 5 days course of Clexane (2 injections daily) to prepare my body for the Warfarin to take effect. If it does, PTL! No more poker face. Else, I will need to bring home needles…

Doctor said by taking Warfarin will help me to dissolve the blood clot. My target INR is 2-3. I don’t know what it means but now I am below 2. In these two days there will be another blood test and I am praying for miracle. Will be taking Warfarin for 3-6 months period (not sure yet) but I have to be more careful throughout this period. I will have higher risk to some of the side effects stated in the book like bleeding, bruises, and bleeding..and bleeding.

Oh yes, the pharmacist from SDMC talked and explained to me in detail and I was actually taking notes. Too many facts to understand and remember. :)

When can I be discharged?

I asked doctor if I can be out before Christmas. Yesterday  night, he said should be able (provided I know how to do the injection myself).

I am praying for recovery. I am praying for healing. I am praying for positive blood test result. I just got many parties I don’t want to miss, you know? :(

Please pray. for me. for my right leg. Pray for body to receive Warfarin.

Pray for supernatural healing Can?

Singing “I WILL SURVIVE”

I felt so strange to go back home “early” these few days. After the season of working late, the department has truly passed through the level 1 of stretch/stress/breakthrough. Our faith now increased. Or you can say, we are more steady lah…

So here I am back to preparing bible studies and preparing sermons for cell group meeting this week. And will be singing this week. Feel a bit nervous to be on stage again. OMG 9 songs. Stressed enough to memorize all lyricssssssssssssssssssssssss (very long lyrics) and will be singing 2nd voice…both are my weakest point a.k.a. death spot. but I WILL SURVIVE!!!

This week is also a week of celebration. To celebrate the departments to stay throughout the toughest time and also it is the Myanmar’s new year tomorrow. So we decided to celebrate today as we are having our annual dinner tomorrow. So all our departments were in a pizza+kfc feast for lunch. I actually went to all our 3 departments to eat…huhu…

The Survival Party tomorrow shall be a day to remember the GREAT TIME the colleagues are going to have together. kEkekke…Oh I’m so looking forward to it!

Just realized that we didn’t take photo with boss. MUST take this year!!!

  

 

 

Hooooooo!
Found this photo and I miss my boyfriend. ;)

April-ful

I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they might knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going

And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you're going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It’s all about
It’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

 

On my way back today, I got the mood to pen down things happened in this month. Just as I think back, it is only the 9th day of April but I felt like it has been a one full month…

Suddenly I can hear someone shouting ‘please update your blog’.

April started with our team been busy working before launching POS system at all outlets started this Tuesday. I am grateful that we can work together. And I thank God that each person in this team are great team players. We have been going back home near midnight and two days ago, I thought I lost my car key but later found out that the car key was still inside the car. Today, we all left by 10pm. One more week and we should be quite done with the launch. Hopefully. KF said to some of us it is like a dream, or it can be a burden. Whatever it is, I am grateful that we made it that far. I believe we are entering into something new.

Jin finally moved into the new house. And we finally agreed t to get the curtain that we wanted. Hopefully. I never realize that it is NOT EASY to select curtains even though I see curtains everyday. I also got myself an eyelet ready made curtains for my bedroom’s 2 panel window at a 50% discount during our End of Season Sale. It only cost me RM100++. We also got ourselves cotton shaggy rug at the Giant Kelana Jaya. We tried to bargain for that RM20 discount with the foreign guy. In the end, we managed to bargain but I felt we are so cheapskate. Worse still, I felt the price we got is still pricey. Anyway, it is the white color shaggy rug that I wanted. And Jin like it too. I hope.

Jin also finally got himself a black steel color E71. Now we are officially saying bye bye to our W960i. To celebrate Jin’s first month of working, we asked pastor, Esther and Eitan for dinner at the Westin. It was a great dinner. Eitan is lovely. And I am officially auntie Laverne. The King was in KL for the F1 event and it was a good Friday night out. I also met Hungcai at his workplace. It was like a year ago when I met him in KL. Friend, I am bringing you to church!!

4u4u9 - we had our subzone newcomers party at CHEC. Well done to all the leaders in our subzone as they have been faithfully planning and run the entire event. We had the Sparks for laughter to perform. Though it rain heavily before we started, but it has been a great night together and we had a total of 85 people. Woohooo. Sean and Tom are great people and I learn from their attitude of serving. Lynnette is really good with leading big group of crowd and I appreciate Kar Heng for having great attitude throughout all these.

After 1 week of pain, I can finally walk with my heels properly. I sprained my ankle (until it became red, big, round and painful) during our first department outing for a badminton game. I am so angry at myself for not wearing shoes tightly/properly and as a result, I get big fat ankle and super painful treatment by the Chinese physician. It hurts and cost me RM40. Alright, I am ready for the next game!!!!

Jin and I went for a medical check up and we are getting our report this Saturday. Don’t know why I feel so nervous about it. When I was there waiting for my turn for the nurse to take my blood sample, there was this young boy screaming and tried to escape but the mother and the nurse were catching him. It was really very drama and I pity the boy. He was really helpless and in fear. And right after that was my turn. At first, I was OK but don’t know why, my heart got a little nervous just the few second before the needle poked in to the skin. Anyway, it was cool, fast and it was not painful at all. I am serious.

As I was planning to minimize on going through tolls this month, I have been trying to go out early so that I can use the small roads. Yesterday night, Alvin showed us the new shortcut without having to go through the RM1.30 toll and gosh it is so near. God answered my prayer. If going through 16 bumps can save me RM2.60, that means I have to go through 160 bumps to save RM100…

There are more things coming up this month. Jin is going to be outstation on the third week and I should be going for a conference in Singapore that time. Quite look forward to it and hope to stay for the weekend to catch up with my friend.

4 more months to our Bali outing. We bought 9 pax of Bali package during MATTA fair. If everything goes smoothly, we should be leaving on a jet plane on the independence day!

Bought new guitar string but have yet to change them. Oh, I have been playing this song in my heart – The Climb by Miley Cyrus.

I had a dream

On a quiet sunny afternoon, I was wearing my 3.5 inch size 6.5 peep toes and I was climbing flying walking around Taman Jumbo…

Doesn’t make sense right. Then I woke up and realize that the leg is so painful.

AHh!

The Journey Home…

Ever since I started to drive to work, one of my favorite me-time is the journey home from work. To me, it is a journey of restoration.

Although sometimes it can be so annoying that all kinds of advertisement on air while I am hoping for a nice song to be played, but every time when I see the sunset when I was on the highway, it just made me forget all the tiredness and frustration of work…You know how I love the sun. It makes very beautiful scene.

I appreciate every second of the journey home… From the moment I left the car park, I think back what happened since morning, how many problems encountered, how many compliments received, how annoying people could be, how I got annoyed of myself complaining to myself…and I am glad that i am able to be thankful and appreciate the good works and favor I received. God is good.

I got so tempted to take a photo of the sunset on my way home on highway. But I know it is dangerous. It shall remain a beautiful image in my heart. :)

1049.

Hot Mama

Hello Jill!

:)

The "I miss you too" I said was genuine.

This post took me 37 minutes to write. Maybe I am too tired. Nothing much I can think of for the past.... 1 week, except:

1. Tai Loong is a big boy now. He wears converse to work.

2. I am proud to be with the best team in the company.

3. I've counted that I have 8 pairs of charles and keith shoes.

Hehe.

And I don't mind having more. Haha.

Huhu.

Hoho.

7 things I said today.

I said, it is ok.

I said, hang in there.

I said, never mind.

I said, it is a new beginning.

I said, divine.

I said, no prob.

I said, I love you.

i dont care

i am hungry. i want to supper.

Fly

I was already at the airport 1.5 hours before boarding. I was praying for good weather so that there will not be any delay or retime because it has been raining for the past two days. Thank God for a smooth journey. It is my second time traveling alone since last October, and actually I enjoy traveling alone (siting in the airplane alone) because it makes me think of my family and people I love. And there is always a funny thought what if the  plane....haha..

I love you mom. I love you dad. You know my dad is so lovely this afternoon. Normally he will leave the house after lunch around 3.30pm but today when mom and I reached home at 3pm, he was rushing into his bus and left. Mom saw that he was still munching food in his mouth when he left and was wondering why was he in a hurry. We went back into the house and manage to grab a quick bite before I left. On the dinner table, dad left a red packet on top of the plate.

To Laverne, from Dad.

It is a love message from dad.

Anyway, it was a safe journey. And it is rather a funny experience this time. I finished reading 2 magazines and played solitaire on my ipod until I win a game. Normally I only listen to the slow songs on my ipod, but I kept skipping the slow song and got really excited listening to some techno songs on the playlist. 2.5 hours passed very fast (especially with the techno songs). There was announcement that we are required to put on the seatbelt and prepare for landing. Normally, landing is pretty scary especially with the famous airline we're talking about here...but surprisingly, it landed VERY SMOOTH. Just when I was thinking to tell Jin later how cool the landing was, there was an announcement again in Malay..."Dear passengers, we have yet to land, please remain at your seat because we do not know we should land on the left or the right...thank you for your patience.."

...

Jin had cell group earlier so that he could end it earlier to come to airport and fetch me. Then we had catch up chatting at Sweetbean. Then Jin sent me home and we took the luggage up. It's true that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong... The grill was locked. And I don't have the key!!!! The very friendly neighbor next-next door looked out from his unit and so I tried my luck by borrowing his key hoping that it is the same...but it is not. Alright, I used to lock my brother outside the house once when he came back from work. So this is the pay back time.

Good night. It is my first day of work tomorrow.

Hello February

I can't really say that "time flies" in KK, but I've lose count of which day or what day here... Anyway, 4 more days and I will be back to work.

Hello February. What happened to January?

On the first day of the year, we were praying in the new building, for the new building. :) Many things to let go and move on, un-learn some things and re-learning some foundation truths in life. Leading cell groups, teaching bible studies, attending counseling sessions, morning prayer meetings, singing with the team, finally having my hair cut after 3-4 attempts. Work was rather slow. Not that we don't have things to do, but really really have to be focus on the strike off the long to do list. No increment this year, that is sad. The angel and devil character in me were fighting. Sigh, just have to face it. I wonder how quiet CNY can be in KL. Last weekend, I was with Tom and Tony in Pyramid doing some "last minute shopping". The atmosphere was really quiet. Maybe everyone is in the balik kampung mood. CNY back at home this year is more meriah. I am glad that mom and dad are healthy. Most of the time at home we spend on the dining table and in front of TV. I had a short 2 hour sun tanning at the beach. Wooooohoo.

A year of promise. A year of ministry. 4 more days for me to complete this before I leave.

1. Finish writing the email.
2. Realigning my vision/goals this year.
3. Prepare sermon for Fri/Sun.
4. Update my resume.
