yesterday Labour Day,

had another dinner and dance meeting, had to settle several matters lucky draw items, prizes etc... 5 days to "THE EVENT" ah~!!! so excited~!

after that, went to meet my parentals in town for shopping session, supposed to go check out the mango sale.. up to 30% but the clothes were very nice, and it seems all the bigger sizes are available... the queue to the changing rooms were so long, even the cashier queue.. so long! ah! that's why i don like shopping when there's a sale going on... in the end did not get anything... shopped around takashimaya, was looking for my Grandaunt's and Granduncle's 50th Wedding anniversary. Golden Anniversary, this coming 8th May. it's rare that couples last to 50th anniversary.. hee =) so proud of them.. they are without a doubt my most favourite grandaunt and granduncle.

i remember, my first overseas trip was at the age of 5 yrs old to England, it was so cold~! cos i fell sick... haha! okie that's not the point, my grandaunt/uncle = "THEY" was there too.. cos they used to shuttle btw singapore and england once every 6 months cos their daughter (aunt gillian) and son-in-law (uncle swee heng) migrated there.. so my dad brought the whole family there for the hols. So as i mentioned, i fell ill.. maybe due to the drastic change in weather, THEY took care of me, when my dad went to Lourdes for some pilgrimage... THEY nursed me back to health, after which i remember them bringing me and my bro to the playground.. which was huge! so many swings, see-saws, the one u just stand and someone would haf to spin u around, long long long slides... and many more... something i knew i enjoyed very much when i was 5 yrs old! haha! apart from the house in england, the playground, i still remember the horses! OMG... they Poo-ed right infront of me! sO sO sO extremely smelly~! AH~!!! *the smell that would make ur face twitch horrendously..

two years back, my grandaunt was diagnose with Leukemia. She took a year and half to recover... in the process was continuous chemotheraphy and suffering, the times when i visited her at the Singapore General Hospital ward.. my heart breaks when i see her whole body swollen becos of the infection of the medical drugs she took... hai... but whenever i see her she would ask how was i? isn't that something great? for me, yes... beneath her smiles i knew there were unbearable pain and sufferings. everytime i visit, she would tell us (my dad and me) yesterday, diona (fake name) remember the woman beside me? she passed away... IMAGINE, her being in the ward and each one of them passes away... u wouldn't haf much hope right? Well.. i'm so glad and proud of my grandaunty for fighting a victorious battle, all thanks and praises to GOD. As this May 8 arrives, u would understand why it is so so meaningful and a joyous occasion. just thought of sharing with u all... health is indeed a treasure something more valuable than diamonds. Health is priceless. together with it, one shld never be blinded by money and give up ur soul in the process.
