Yan was hospitalized

Coughing until hopitalized. Sure or not... so serious one? I don't know wor... this happend so suddent.

14 June 08 - Severe coughing started.

17 June 08 - I went to see GP and he issued me some antibiotic and 2 days MC.

24 June 08 - After coughing for another week, I went back to the same GP again and he gave me stronger dose of antibiotic with 2 days MC. The GP also wrote me a referral letter to the physician regarding on my severe coughing situation.


Optimus prime VS Terrorist - I wore this mask at home, in the car and my workplace. Just don't want cough out and let the virus flying in the air, endangering everyone around me.

25 – 29 June 08 - I went to visit a physician – Dr. Thye at Assunta Hospital. Doctor diagnosed me suffering from lung infection. I need take X-Ray and she me stronger dose of antibiotic, cough mixture, some painkiller to relives my chest pain.

I requested to be admitted to hospital for monitoring and intensive care from the hospital for one or two days. The reason is I couldn’t return home, I was self quarantine from my mum. My mum’s immune system was in the lowest stage of her health, she’ll easily get infected if I’m around coughing, and that will be very hard for her to recover. I’m staying with my auntie who stays nearby my house.

I stayed in the 4-bedded room, I’m the youngest among the patients. Each bed has individual LCD TV installed on the ceiling. You’ll only have to pay RM12 for TV service per day. The nurses and doctor came in and out, took my body temperature, check my blood pressure and gave me medicine.
On the 2nd day, Ee Jet drop by to visit me during lunch hour and he blogged this.


This is where I slept, 4-bedded room. An adjustable bed, small cabinet, table & TV remote.


They marked me with a regitration tag.


Stap a needle into my right hand, it looks like Wolferine claw.

Mum's update - 27 June 08

This is my mum current condision. I'm sharing this SMS, sent by my dad on 26 June 08.

"Rosemary will visit the oncologist on Tues to decide on the next course of treatment, this being necessary as a result of non-suitable to receive Intravenous Chemotherapy (I.V Chemo).

Her doctor gives her TWO months. Rosemary has good faith and trusting God is to be glorified in life or in death. She also holds on to GOD to be HER HEALER AND REDEEMER."

We've come to a stage that nothing we can do, but to hold on to GOD. My mum have strong faith on GOD and she trusted GOD is in control.


The end of man is the begining of GOD. 人的尽头是神的开始.

I will survive, yeh?

The time has come. I have to do it, no matter what! No other choice, but have to do it gao gao.

This is the 1st time I pump petrol after the petrol price increased rapidly. I swapped my credit card, got approved, lift up the nozzle and began to pump petrol into the gas tank.

After a few sec, my eyes went wide open when see the total amount. RM108 for 40 Litres, my goodness!!



I wonder how can i survive in such high petrol price, how long can i survive?

- Change to a smaller car - MyVi, VIVA, Kancil?
- Change to an expensive but better fuel consumption car - Vios, City?
- Car pool to work?
- Take LRT?
- Ask boss for pay raise?
- Change job with higher pay?
- Buy Fuel saver?

HE Raise Me Up (You Raise Me Up)

An email from a Pastor's wife – Monica to my mum.

HE Raise Me up (You Raise Me up)

Dear William,

Greetings! I want to share a song with Rosemary. This song had lifted me up.Please play on behalf of me and sing together with her.
I have tear thrilled on my eyes as I meditate and think of her. (miss)The Lord has used her life to fasten mine.

With Love,

Monica

Here’s my mum’s reply:

Dear Monica,

Thank you for your tears on my account. William prayed on your behalf just as you had requested. My soul is lifted up by the lyrics and the music and also the prayer rendered on your behalf. Do not feel sorry for me because Jesus is not sorry for me either. Jesus strengthens me daily as my hope of eternal life builds on His merciful assurance. Very soon we’ll see you again. I hope I shall be strong enough to see you and your family on 15 June Sunday.

God bless,

Rosemary

Here's the lyrics goes:

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me

CHORUS:
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up.. to more than I can be.

* REPEAT CHORUS

There is no life - no life without its hunger
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly
But when you come and I am filled with wonder
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
And I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up .. to more than I can be
You raise me up .. to more than I can be

We are strong when We are on HIS shouldersHe rises us up to more than we can be,Just to have the glimpse of eternity……be comfort in HIM, Rosemary, Jesus Loves, I love you.
