Just got home

Just got back from the BF's place. Sweating like a pig now, it's so hot out there. The BF starts work at 3pm every Monday, so I usually take this time to go over in the morning. He helped to burn a backup disc for my new laptop. And then watched Superhero on his computer. And then did some other things... Twice. Teehee. (:

First I get him to smile...

Then he doesn't smile for the camera anymore...

Then his attention gets diverted back to Superhero...

Then he gets bored of me taking pictures of us.

Unwanted attention

Met up with the BF after his Japanese class. Went to Challenger at Funan and bought a laptop bag. Turned out to be quite big for my notebook. Couldn't decide to buy the 14 inch bag or 15 inch one cos was worried that the 14 inch one wouldn't fit. So bought the 15 inch one.

Then we spent a short while at Raffles City. You know the place where you could look up to Topshop on the 2nd floor? Where there are 3 mannequins posing at the glass railings, looking very life-like? Ladies wearing skirts or dresses really SHOULD NOT stand at the railings. Cos we were walking past and I always like to look up to see the mannequins, and I saw a fourth one move. Turned out it was a lady and she was wearing a skirt! And when she turned and walked away I could see her bum! So I nudged the BF and told him what I shouldn't have seen.

But I didn't mind. It was a young lady. And the BF always like to tease me about my being turned on by women. Which isn't 100% untrue. But he doesn't mind. But I WOULD mind if he gets turned on by men. Which I think is impossible.

So here's a little message to the ladies: don't wear skirts and go near glass railings!

Another day at the hospital

Was supposed to work today but had to cancel cos I had to accompany my ma to the hospital for 2 appointments. Just got back home. The doctors arranged another 2 appointments for her. Looks like my ma's going to have to be in and out of the hospital for the next few weeks.

The nurse opened up the bandages and I saw the wound for the 2nd time. It has healed reasonably well but when she picked up a pair of scissors and proceeded to cut away the top layer of the wound, my heart skipped a beat.

My sis and I could only watch in horror as she snipped and snipped away at the red flesh, and blood spilled down my ma's foot. But the funny thing was my ma didn't seem to feel any pain. The nurse and my ma chatted while the nurse cut at the flesh. After she was done, I asked my ma if it hurt. She said a little. She didn't know that the nurse was cutting at her flesh, and was kind of puzzled when she looked down to see that her foot was bleeding. Luckily she didn't look at her foot while the nurse was cutting. After that we asked the nurse why she had to do that. She explained that the top layer of the wound is bacteria. She had to cut away the top layer to keep the wound clean.

I'M BACK!

Wasn't in action for the past few weeks due to computer break down. Not really break down actually. You see, here's the story...

One day I opened up the little drawer of my computer table to look for some stuff. Ethan Boy passed by and saw me opening it. Being the smart boy that he is, he opened it and played with my things inside while I was at work. One of the things inside the drawer includes my Windows XP OS CD. He ripped out the plastic covering the CD booklet, the bad thing is the plastic contains the product key. So one day my pc crashed, I needed to reformat the computer, and found the product key missing. I was in quite a rage after that. Pissed with Ethan Boy. Decided to confront him the next day.

So the next day, I sat him down and asked him, "Ethan, plastic leh?" And pointed to the CD booklet. He made his trademark gesture of "no more", meaning he didn't understand what I was talking about. I repeated the question and he repeated the gesture with quite a serious look on his face. That made me forgive him instantly.

Everybody blamed me for losing that product key. Nobody blamed Ethan. I was the only one who blamed him. But I guess everyone's right. I should have copied down the product key or stored the disc in a safe place where he couldn't get his itchy little hands on. Yes and how can I bear to blame a one and a half year old little boy whom I've watched growing up. He's 2nd place on my list of favourite people. #1 is the BF. He loves Ethan too. I love them both. :)

Okay, there's the story of why I was cyber inactive for quite a few weeks. But now I've got this Acer laptop that I got for free (not really, $83 per month) when I signed on a SingNet BroadBand plan. Went with my sis to Acer to redeem it yesterday.

An update on my life. After the missing product key episode. My ma was admitted to the hospital due to an infection in her right big toe. Problem is she's also a diebetic. Infection spreads very quickly for diebetics and the bad news, the only thing the doctors could do was to amputate the big toe and cut away the infected areas on the top of her foot. She stayed in the hospital for 17 days. Life was miserable for us. There was still pus on the wound after the operation. If the pus didn't clear up, the doctors would have to amputate her whole leg. Having lost one toe was already so bad, we prayed and prayed that my ma could keep her leg. Everytime we received the bad news the grief we felt would start all over again. We prayed everyday, hoping she would get better quickly, hoping that the Gods would help. My ma sat on the hospital bed every morning and prayed. We prayed everynight at home. Sometimes the pus would stop, sometimes the pus would be back. Imagine what the good and bad news did to us. I was a total wreck. I would cry when I remembered that huge row that I had with her before she was hospitalised. I regretted so much I hated myself then.

Luckily the BF was around. He gave my family so much mental support. He visited my ma at the hospital, told her positive things which I didn't even had the hope to tell her. I could only listen as they chat. Sometimes he would catch me with my eyes all red, then he'd put his hand on my arm to tell me, "Don't let your ma see you like this."

The best thing is, I've realised that my family likes him so much more after my ma was discharged. The day ma was discharged, she asked me when the BF was going to come visit her. My pa likes him, my sis likes him, my ma loves him. I feel that he's part of my family already.

He's always there when problems arise, when I feel helpless. I really can't thank him enough.

Thanks, baby. I love you. :)

PC down. Won't be blogging for a while.
