Hello Hello! How are we? Sorry for putting this blog to sleep while i buzz around minding my own business. :D

Con con asked me why i haven't updated my blog for so long and that, i think, is a very good question. It could be because I have been terribly busy but it could also be because i have other more exciting things to do and i would love to think that other people have more exciting things to do as well, than to read my humble blog.

But well, i guess i should really get back to blogging even if it's just jotting down one or two lines, whether it's for my own record (so that i can look back and laugh at silly things i've done) or for those who might be interested in what i'm up to (especially those back home and far away).

The days gone by since my last post have pretty much been occupied with work, church and friends. And ops, i think i forgot to blog about how wonderful a birthday i had! It was overwhelmingly amazing other than the fact that the number (which everyone says doesn't matter that much) is now 24 rather than 23.

The last two days were spent doing training with the Pharmacy Guild and i hate to admit it but i did enjoy it. I am now more able to put myself in the shoes of the doctors and patients, those with difficulty communicating and also those of aboriginal descent. I cannot believe just how much has been taken (more like robbed) from the aboriginals and the exercise we did today was so emotionally engaging that i felt so drained after the session. It messed with my mind a bit because i always thought that the aboriginals have a lower life expectancy because they do not know how to take care of themselves, they're always drunk or intoxicated and they just waste their life away living on government support. How terribly wrong was i? According to the aboriginal health solutions worker, they were originally very healthy until they started getting all these diseases brought in by the white people, of which they didn't know how to treat. To think of it, it's probably quite true that they started having chronic diseases after the invasion of the whites because they had to stop hunting and start eating burgers, stop moving around and live in camps under the captivity and oppression of the whites.

Okay, i didn't intend to go on and on about what i learnt at the aboriginals health centre today but i thought it was truly enlightening.

What i really wanted to do in this post was to say thank you to God for some BFF time (finally!), for making things possible for me to get this far, for placing people around me and in my life at this point of time so that we can share life together, for teaching me stuff at just the right time.

And the other thing was about Ting Ting, our precious and naughty little angel at home. She is just sooo adorable these days and my heart just melts when she calls me 'ah yee ooiiiii'! She learns things so fast and her memory is just amazing! We just have so much fun finding out what new things she's learnt everyday and just pushing the limits every now and then to see how far she can go! She not only knows the names of the animals now, she knows what sounds they make too! I'll have to have a little 'chat' with her everyday or every other day just to keep up with her progress.. :D And by chat i really mean chat. Half of the time we can understand what each other's talking now, which is really fun cos i know she understands when i tell her things and i can also understand what she is trying to tell me (although sometimes i just say yah if i don't)

Tears start forming around the corners of my eyes when i think about having to say goodbye when i eventually leave this place. How old will she be then? What would i tell her? What would she say to me? Will we hug each other and cry? Will i be able to toughen up and walk off when she calls out ah yee oiii ah yee oiii? :(

No matter how naughty you can be at times, no matter how long more I have with you or whether you will even remember me, I just want to let you know that i've been so blessed being your ah yee oiii and i love you very much, precious one!
