relieve It had been a pretty hard day for me. I went to town to see if I can get any air ticket back home. Due to the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday - the prices have gone so high, and it seems like getting any return tickets are just as impossible..
News finally came at about 4pm (1pm Singapore time). Apparently, grandma's alright... the doctors had concluded that she was having low blood sugar, thus it had affected her from functioning normally. However, due to the delay of the dignosis (them presuming that she had a stroke in the brain etc.. I don't know all the medical terms), her condition may not improve. BUT at least, she'll get to see my graduation photo [I hope]. :-)
She had lose her mobility. The only thing that she can still move is her eyelids, and she'll have to be fed through the tube. We're all just relieved that she's still with us...

where is doctor house? Grandma is hospitalised. Initially they thought that she had a stroke... Now, the doctors are not sure of the cause... Hope that she'll get to go home soon...

lust - cambodia
I'm not a good writer. And so I strongly advice that you click the link below and read about it and view the videos. It is sad and depressing. I wished that I could have made it better, but I now hope that more people can be aware and help make things happen for these young souls.It is a vicious cycle that can be broken, a society that can be changed. Dispite the immense amount of aids, funds and physical help given, the situation or issues are still largely undealt with. These issues should not be viewed only on the surface, which people are so prone of doing. Give money and all bad things will go away. Save them from their plight and they will be able to make a better life. I personally believe that it is more important to understand the 'network' of circumstances that had resulted to these problems. And work out an array of possible chances of change in all levels to slowly turn the situation for the better.
Cambodians are wonderful people and it is a beautiful place to visit. So please, take some time, learn the truth and have a heart, and say a prayer for them before you go to bed...

seeking for a home
If you are wondering why I've not been writing... well.. I was really busy... Bit by bit, I will pen them here (back-dated of course) what I had been doing. But it's just going to take a while longer, as I'm still busy.. What am I busy with this time? Ha!I'm hunting for my home. Significantly, this is something that I'm looking forward to. Finally having a place all to myself! A place that I can do whatever I want and that I can truely call my home. However, searching for a place is tough. Prices have gone up this year and accomodations near the uni are obviously on a higher demand. But, my fingers are still crossed. Don't wanna disappoint my dear friends that might be visiting me in the near future with a crappy house/villa/apartment/unit,
whatever. Ideals are obviously beyond reality. Expectations are definately challenging possiblities. Anyways..I've asked a couple of friends for advice on what to look out for. "Go to a trusty agent. Make sure that you have all the relavant paper documents, present yourself as someone who's reliable, financially sound, keen on renting long term and finally, when you inspect the place, you need to feel good about it. Check that the place is clean and talk to the neighbours."
Whatever it is, I'm going to the agencies tomorrow. Keep your fingers cross for me please, and if you are thinking about visiting me, all the more pray that I get a nice place. wahahha...
Later..
