It is 11.00pm. I did not post anything cos the computer got 'frozen'!! Had bld work done & rec s/c Procrite as my Hb dipped slightly to 9.8, the Dr wants to keep mine at 10 or above... The dipped could be due to the bleeding episodes that happened everytime I had the dental work?? However, the rest of bld results r good! Req for HbA1c to be done to check my sugar control, as it may be due to elevated sugar that caused the delay in my gum healing too.... (I hv to returned again after Wed's apptm, cos after drilling more, the dentist found that the gum wasn't healing compltely yet...I was really miserable & upset that evening over it!!!)
Today, I called the Nurse, he told me that my HbA1c is 5.9 which is Normal & actually is good! After hearing that I felt 100% better, relief & glad.... Praise God.
I washed & cleaned the patio as well the patio set. Very tired after that but felt good to see them neat, nice & clean.. Birds ate all the feeds that I gave in my bird feeder & r all coming around me for More hi..hi... I realised that they overate & r really 'fat', so I hv to stop feeding them for few days...Over wt is Not Good!!(that explained why a dead bird was found inside the feeder!! too fat to fly out !!??)
Ironed clothes for 2 hrs after that, was sweating due to the heat outside but I felt good cos I hardly/don't swaet easily. It was a good feeling!!
We went shopping followed by a delicious Chinese meal fr Cat's restaurant at our backyard w all the cleaned furniture...Hing went to work at NYP Hosp at 11pm. He downloaded more songs into my Ipod.
Tried calling Rena & Mooi this am, but nobody answer. Will try again after this.

It is a very nice, sunny & hot day. Gotta stay indoor to keep cool & Hing is sleeping, I hv the whole hse all to myself...)Listening & enjoying the music fr my very new Ipod...
I rec my Ipod (green) yesterday & Hing had downloaded more than 500 songs for me. The sound system is really great compared to the MP 3, I am going to love it & he taught me to do all the funtions that we can do w it(create playlist, Artist, Albumd, download songs... Got to learn more things now (after learning about the use of my digital photo album, sending attchments, download pics into computer, changing screen saver, now hv to start w this new task!!) They will certainly keep me 'busy' hi..hi...
Christine e-mail & said that she will help in getting elder sis Visa application. I hope that it will be easy to get done, as we like to hv her visit us here soon...
Rena is very keen in coming over here to give it a 'try'...(since the kopitiam plan ia on hold now!!) I really don't know what is the Best to do now...Anyway, will check it out for her about the working opportunity here....

Today is 29th of Aug, 2007. I finally pick up my pcs & started to write in my Blog, (which I created in May last year w only 2 miserable blogs in it!! What a shame...)The fact was I am more used to using e-mail & not used to 'Change'....or just too lazy to put more effort into it)Now that I see & read more about it, I want to make a 'come back' & post all my memories, dreams, hope, life & daily activities into it & share them w all my loved ones....Also, to keep all the good & bad events in life in check!! In reading/doing so, it will help me to improve, correct, visualise, analyse, encourage, search & motivate myself to a better person and a richer life w quality and pleasure...
I hv to traced back to the original Blog that Christine had set up for me then and re-create a new Blog A/c. Wow, it took almost 2 hrs to do all that, (serve me right!!) yet I didn't give up and I finally did it right & got all my Blogs posted back into the new A/c....(by the way, only 2 of them hi..hi...)
Since it is more than a year, I guess I will write a gist of what had happened during that period & then keep it up to date the best I can!! (even 1 sentence a day will be accepted ha...ha...,just keep posting & DON'T forget!!)
By the way, the very 1st incident that happened this morning was my washing machine overflow!! I left for my garden session, after setting the wash. Check in 1/2 hr & was shocked that my living room & part of the bedroom was 'flooded'... I cleaned & mopped to the best that I can till Hing came home fr work at 8am. He was shocked too! We got it serviced last week & then this incident happened... together we clean & mop more & tried to contact the guy that did the service, couldn't get him on time, as he has another job to go to, so will come this afternoon to fix it!!!
Then I sun/air dried my colored load of clothes, at my neigbor's backyard & the whites have to be done later!! Hope it will be fixed quickly.
I watered the flowers & plants, pulled some weeds & trimmed my flowers. Then I took pics of my bunch of hugh tomatoes... Finally, 2 of them r turning yellow/orange, we were very excited as we hv been watching them everyday. Waiting to pick them fr the vine & also to prevent the 'smart' & 'snecky' squirrer fr getting to them b4 us!! (that will really 'kill' us if it happened ha..ha...) I think tomorrow or this afternoon we will hv the very 1st taste of our very 1st precious harvest experience ...(everyone replied & said that we really hv great green thumbs!!)
I stir fried the zuchinni that my back neighbor gave me. It was very crunchy, freash & tasty. I ate almost 1/2 of it(it was a very big one too... somehow 'things' over here seem to be unusually big, fat, large & different ha..ha...)
Then I sat to re-creat my New Blog & posted this... At 4.30pm, I hv a dental apptm. (The 3rd time, it was rescheduled twice cos I bled a great deal every time. Hv been garggling w

Dear Joanne,
Spoke to yr dad few days ago. Also had a good chat w mom. Dad mentioned about the filter ‘machine’ part that he wanted to get fr US, u e-mailed to us) I was sick then & we hv No clue as to what it was, so we did not do anything to it & the e-mail were gone. You sh detailed the machine description, type & all necessary info to uncle Andrew, so that he can post it in the e-Bay for adv. In that way, company/carrier of the product can get to know what u guys wanted & contact us & then eventually get connected w u guy, right? Cos we r real ‘dummies’ when come to this field.
Nowadays, everybody is doing o-line shopping via e-bay. (even at work!) I don’t know much about it & hv never try it. Everytime I needed s’thing, Andrew will get it for me. Am I lucky, lazy/slow/too dependent or what!!
Christine had been checking on my Blog performance. Sorry to tell u guys that I haven’t been feeling good for the past month. Had been visiting the hemathologist as my red blood & white bld count kept dropping. I was treated w I/V Iron, (suppose to hv 10 doses of it in 10 weeks) as well as given 3 shot of very potent, costly injections, hoping to boost up my bld cts. But they didn’t help. My bld ct will go up after the shot ( admin in 3 different week) & then drop again after few days!
I am constanly feeling tired, lethargic, low energy lever & SLEEP a lot. As soon as I lie down, I will fall fast into a very deep sleep. It was scary, These r S & Sx of Anaemia!! I was upset, worried & scared, afraid that I may dev some blood dysplasia(condition) The DR finally decided to perform bone marrow aspiration procedure to find out the cause of all these problem.
I hv been trying to get away fr this painful procedure as I had one done some 5 yrs ago. The pain experienced remained vividly & fearfully inside me…. But I hv no choice and got it done last Wed.
The report turned out to be Normal & I am only mildly Iron deficient! What a relief after I heard the news. So, the Drs all confirmed that my blood condition was probably cause by the exacerbation/relapsed of Lupus!! I hv been on a very low dose of Steroids (Prednisone) for about 8 months. (5 mg a day) Now apparently I am ‘underdosed’ Lack of steroids medication caused the relapsed that affected my bld ct this time. The Lupus can affect any organ!!)
So, the usual treatment is to increase my steroid medication to 20mg a day. (s’time needed higher dose to get the Lupus under control!). Thank goodness it was only 20mg this time. Hope that this dose will take care of it & then be tapered soon. (I hate the many bad side effects that this ‘wonder; drug produced.) No matter ow hard & desparate to get rid of the use of steroid in my life, guess it is No going to happened. Every time I go down to too Low, I will get sick again. The fact that I always refused to accept is that I just hv to continue to take it & make it part of my life…
Believe it or not, I felt improvement soon after the increased dose!! Tiredness, lethargy & Sleepiness has lessened and able to stay focus….Yesterday I went back for f/u & my bald ct had improved. No need e for further I/v Iron nor the special injection!! I was happy & glad!! Otherwise, prior th this I was doing very well, active. Happy & motivated.
Well, I am up-beat w high spirit again now, had been staying outdoor more often, doing more exercise & the greatest joy was that I started swimming again last month, my only passion & exercise that I am pretty good at… (I was told that I may not be able to swim again due to the increased pressure in my lungs, due to the Pulmonary hypertension that diagnosed after the surg) I was so upset & mad when they 1st told me the news. That day I was crying in the pool when I learned that I can swim again… It was a marvelous feeling. Hv been swimming since & am trying to increased my speed to swim like I used to be….A fish ha…ha,,,,,
Guess, very soon u guys can ‘peep’ into my Blog again. Oh yes, I hv set up a Gmail following Christine insructions, however, now I don’t know how/where to get ito it!!! Sorry for being so slow & for bothering you….I need more coaching & help.
Had just watced the American Idols semi final. This programme had been a HIT among all the TV shows.Making Fox 5 No 1 in TV rating!!! Millioms of viewers go wild & crazy over it. I followed it closely too. Was sorry to see Christ Doughty being voted out. I miss him… The result just came in, know what, Elliot was voted out. So the finalist r Kat & Taylor. A big night and a new star will be born next Tuesday. This programme really help to produced great, Real & outstanding new talent!!!
We went for 2 movies yesterday, the Posaidon & United 93. we watched 2 disasters, one under the sea & one in the Air. The united 93 was a difficult & heart breaking movie to watch….I sensed tears in my eyes as I watched it…
That’s all for now. Sorry that it was such a long winded one! Pls e-mail soon.

Today is the 19th of May. Hv not been up-beat for a while due to problem w my blood count!!! As usual, fear, worry & scared of what was happening to me AGAIN??!! Rather restless, unsettled & lost my focus in doing things. Anemia make one feel very tired, lethargic, weak & just want to lie down & sleep, sleep, sleep....I live like a zombi.
Finally, had the excruciating painful bone marrow aspiration procedure & found out w great relief that my bone marrow is fuctioning Perfectly well.. No blood dysplasia at all!!!! The fact was, I am experiencing an exacerbation of Lupus, for being underdose of Prednison. To solve the problem I hv to increase the dose to 20mg daily. Well, as usual, the inflammtion to my blood will be under controlled pretty quickly. Hope that the high dosage can be reduced eventually till a low mainteance dose again soon. I just hate & can't bear going thru all the horrible side effects that this 'wonder' drug produced!
Anyway, am glad that we found out the cause of my low bld ct. Got to tolerate the side effects temperary so that I will be well soon...
I e-mail to Mun & family sharing w them about all that had happened. I will post the mail in this Blog.
