I must say this CNY is the worst I have in my 31 years of living. I was sick from Day 3 onwards and I thought I was okay on Day 4 when I went Mt Faber for dinner but how wrong was I.
I looked forward to celebrating 'Ren Ri' with my family with us going out for dinner with all my extended family and YT joining us on Saturday and my mom's cooking on Sunday and meeting up with my brother who is away in Mexico on Monday. How wrong was I.
On Friday, after lunch, I had a very bad tummy ache. I rushed myself to the toilet to relieve myself. I thought nothing of it, but come 4.30pm, my stomach cramped till I nearly slumped on the desk. I took my NETs card and phone and rush myself to the nearest clinic, knowing that they closes at 5.30pm. My pain is so excruciating, I can't describe. The doctor even asked me to give her some urine but my pain is too much, urine can't even come out. When I return from the toilet, the clinic is closing. She said I have to admit myself to Changi Hospital immediately for a scan. Suspect it is either appendicitus or ovary cyst.
I can't think straight. No IC with me, no cash, how to get myself to the hospital? I called YT to rush some cash over.. stoopid dear, din even accompany me to the clinic. I was left alone!!
Some scan shows that I have an ovarian cyst which causes infection that in turn causes me to have fever and some cold shivers. I was admitted to hospital which later transferred me to KK Women's Hospital.
There was I, spending 3 days in the hospital, in IV drips, getting injections 3 times a day, being disturbed every few hours for pressure, temperature check.. I was at their mercy. It was so boring at the hospital, but at least dear was with me most of the time.. he's such a gem, even bought me a bouquet of flower! Let me tell u abt the flower.. it was the first bouquet he bought me. Not even a valentine bouquet. He said that way, I will remember it forever.. how lame! Hahaha..
Anyway, I am given hospital leave for 2 weeks but do not foresee myself taking such long break. 2 days at home, and I am bored.. nothing to do, lie the whole day. The medicine taking is taking a toll on me. Each time I have to take the medicines (like a whole lot of them), I dread thinking I may vomit them out again.. vomitting is such a dreadful experience! I need an operation but that will have to be another month.. I m really hoping that cyst is benign which doctor told me is usually 99% cancer free but another bad news was delivered is that I have a polyps along my uterus wall. That will have to be removed as well. It sounded serious and I really am worried.. I can only hope for the best..
"Polyps are usually benign but some of them could turn into cancer after a long time. Polyps are growths from the tissue where there’s a mucosal membrane. When they are small, they usually don’t cause any trouble but if they big, they certainly could. If they grow in the cervix (beginning of the uterus) or uterus lining, they could cause vaginal bleeding and even impair fertility and cause miscarriage. The risks of developing colon polyps increase if you are over 50, have a family history of polyps or colon cancer but also if you eat a lot of fatty food, smoke, drink, are overweight and don’t exercise."
Mt Faber
Dear & his bro rented a car over the CNY period..I was lucky to be driven ard by him. Haha..he picked me up from the hotel on Tues night when I reached SG.
On Wed, he drove me all the way to Mt Faber for dinner @ Altivo. The scenery was great..breathtaking view of all the lighted HDB flats and on the other side, view of Keppel bay. Food & service is so so but guess we are paying for the ambience. We should do that more often, no no.. I don't mean the uber expensive food but the being chaufeurred around feeling is so nice. Hee
I am feeling lucky lately.. no bickering but juz pure bliss! Life should be like this all the time and I will not complain!

Chinese New Year Part II
As usual, CNY is a time for gorging. I stuffed myself silly with loads of bak kwa, pineapple tarts, oranges, 100+, etc etc etc.
It's the only time of the year when we will have bak kwa and soft drinks at home.
On the eve of CNY, my mom cooked plenty of food.. as usual, there is fish, wu xiang, steam chicken, leek, curry chicken, soup and sea cucumber with mushroom. All are delicious..especially the wu xiang, which is my mom's best dish..hehehe.. I ate all the mushrooms cos most of my family members dun really take mushrooms except me, in return, no one will ask me to eat the fish, leek and sea cucumber cos I never eaten those before and dun intend to try it either..scary!!! Hahaha..

The pot of pig's stomach soup - my favourite!
Uncooked prawns - which I took only 1
We have our usual prayers at 12am.. while waiting, that is the time when all cookies will be brought out, I will be eating bak kwa non-stop.. dad bought 4pcs of fire crackers from some underworld gang..hahaha... we lighted up 2 of them on 'chu xi' and save 2 more for 'tin kong' this coming Sunday. Hehehe.. we are not the only one lighting up crackers..most of my neighbour does so.
The prayers offering
My dad with his prized firecrackers!!
Pretty gals from Khor family..hehe
Lucky for me, I still get loads of red packet this year. Everyone is very generous, RM20, RM10..heheh.. no RM5 this year. My parents were the most generous, giving us such auspicious figure for red packet. I must give them more when my next 50% bonus is out. The money will be used to pay for the housing loan next month. The keys are ready for collection, we will need to source for contractor soon..hmmm..busy busy!
My grandpa's b'day was on 2nd day of CNY. As most restaurants in Klang is still closed, we opted for BBQ party this time round. As usual, food is plenty compared to what our stomach can digest. Mee siam, mee goreng, curry chicken, sausages, etc etc.. gosh!!! I stuffed myself again only to find myself sick in the stomach the whole night. I was practically bed-ridden on 3rd day of CNY. After lunch, I head back to lie down.. only getting up to go toilet. My stomach cramped all the time. I only ate lunch that day and took a bus back to SG. Tried sleeping but my head is aching as well.. gosh!! Talk abt being sick! I popped 2 panadols and head to bed at 1am. Causeway was very jammed up last night..
I need to eat lighter meals these days because there will be a feast this coming Saturday. It's 'ren ri' means it's everyone's b'day. Then it is more gambling. I don't gamble but it's fun watching my cousins and aunts n uncs play. Their bet is high, I cannot afford. Easily lose RM1K per nite..woah...tat's alot. I rather use the $$ to eat or buy stuffs..hehe
I am so lazy to save those pix out of my camera.. must get it done this week.. it's hilarious!
