A Little Goes A Long Way

This is what Joceline Kow wrote on her Facebook account and I've verified everything. The name of the patient is Hew Chun Choong and is in need of financial assistance in raising funds for chemo due to stomach cancer. He is currently assigned to a Dr. Lam in Tung Shin Hospital in Jalan Pudu, which I have called and verified. I've also have spoken to Jocelyn and assessed her Facebook account. As far as I can see, this is a genuine case of a 32-year-old perfectly healthy man whose life suddenly took a turn for the worse. As Joceline said in her message, this is just something she is doing from the bottom of her heart. *** **** This is my friend. Yes he is my college mate who gave me lots of guidance in my study as we were both Chinese ed. He is 32 this yr, a very hardworking, determined and kind hearted person trying to make a better living in life. He was dignosed v STOMACH CANCER in Mar 09. After 3rd chemo, he become a totally different person in body but his spirit never give up! He needs to go thru 3 more times of chemo & the rest will leave it to God... If you have extra to spare with your kind heart, we really appreciate your donation for him for medical bills and living. His father just passed on v cancer too in June 09... cud u imagine wat he has to go thru?? So we sincerely hope that you will help us to help him. Just let me know if you want to contribute and i'll pass u my maybank2u account. many Many thanks in advance and God bless for your willingness and kind heart! *** *** If you have spare change, please channel it directly to Hew Chun Hoong's account. He's a Tung Shin Hospital's cancer patient who is under Dr. Lam. Donations can be made to Hew Chun Hoong public bank a/c 4076 07 9800 (Malaysia). If you do not, then spread the message...that's all it is needed.

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

Malaysian Election 2008 - Malaysians ready for change

The political wrestle is over, here in Malaysia, and thankfully too because it earned me a hangove from watching the news, and reading all the readily available blogs on cyberspace all night long. With a spilting headache from squinting into the PC screen, watching the TV for news on the results from the ballot boxes, anxiety, uncertainty and HOPE lingers in the air..... BN, our ruling party in Malaysia, who has been flexing its political muscles for a long time now with the confident (and ever sleepy and gay) PM convincing Malaysians that BN is the only way to peace. Opposition cannot hold the fort properly, though, because the formation and coalition between them is too loose. But with BN denied the 2/3 majority it needed, all I can say is that Pak Lah tore a tendon while flexing his political muscles. Fed up, fed up, fed up - Malaysians are fed up A lot of Malaysians chose not to vote for the oppositition IN THE PAST because we wanted unity, we resisted change because of a date w...

Demanding a Balanced Lifestyle

We live in a world choked with demands….demand for more money, better lifestyle, more holidays, smarter kids, bigger house, posher cars….etc. People walk around with spiritually unimportant goals in their minds driven by the need to succeed and be better than others around them. Hong Kong. South Korea. Japan. Most Asian countries suffer from this ill-fate which have caused a horrific rise in the number of suicide rates in the said countries. Malaysia is no exception as well although we’re very slowly gaining ground on our neighbors. Just picking up my son from school can become a stressful affair. I’ve mentioned this to a few friends of mine over the phone and all of them cluck their tongue shake their head. It’s end of the year and the kids are getting their test results back by now. I overheard a couple of tai-tais (housewives) gripe about their kids’ results. Mom: I don’t know-lah. My kid did not do very well this term. The best also got 95 only. (NINETY FIVE ONLY???) ...
