Finally i bought my Digital Camera from Commex yesterday. Have been wanting to get a digital camera for a long time. One of my birthday wishlist. Quite good buy, lucky hk was with me, if not i won't know what to look out for. But its a bad experience at Commex becoz its very noisy and the sales person don't have all the time to talk and explain things to you amist the noisy background.
Model: Olympus FE-4000
12 Mega Pixels
4X Optical zoom
Wide Angle
Hopefully i can take a lot of pretty & beautiful pictures with my new digital camera.

Received a gift from my candidate
Last friday, Sophia Lee signed the offer with Singtel for the 6 months contract Business Executive position. Was quite happy for her because she is already 44 yrs old but her job experience was quite good with 20 yrs in YSL.
After signing the contract with Singtel, she came to my office to sign our contract terms, she said that the job is a new challenge for her because the industry and work is totally different from what she has done before. My surprise is she actually bought a box of fruit tarts and gave it to me. This was the first time that i have candidate giving me a gift after i successsfully place them a job. Previously, it was always my colleague and boss who received treats from candidates and i shared the treats with them, but this is the first time that i recived it myself and i get to share with them. I feel a sense of achievement and joy.

Buffet Steamboat Dinner at Hotpot Culture
Yesterday, i meet up with Wenhua, Baozhu and Jinglan to celebrate Wenhua's birthday. Wenhua suggest having dinner at Hotpot culture (Marina Square). http://www.hotpotculture.com/
Ok, sounds new and interesting to me and feedback from Wenhua and Baozhu seems very good. I'm looking forward...
The buffet include a mini-steamboat for each person and you get to select and order from a variety of side dishes to go with your steamboat. There are few kinds of broth to choose from for your steamboat:- Chicken Broth, Hot & Spicy Broth - a.k.a "Tom Yum", Fish Broth, Kimchi Broth & Herbal Broth. I like the concept because as each have own steamboat, we can choose the favors we like and take ingredients based on own preferences. The side dishes are also good. I like the sweet & sour fish and chicken meatballs.
The buffet also come with chocolate fondue. The best part is the fondue is refillable and you can get to eat as much as you like. It comes with fruits, marshmellow and ice-cream. Yummy :)
Everything is good, but at the end of the dinner, we were so stuffed. Boazhu neven feel like vommitting. That is the problem with having buffets, its good and we eat and eat. While eating, you won't feel anything but after that you'll feel so guility and sinful. Should really stop going for buffets and avoid overeating.

"How can I give up a fight? Its not my way"
Yesterday i saw on Sunday Times a devastating news. Dr William Tan was dianosed with chronic lymphocytic cancer (http://www.trevvy.com/sgboyx/index.php?showtopic=31361).
Life is full of adversity and unexpected events. Dr William Tan is someone that i respect and admire. Being wheelchair bound since the age of 2 yrs old, he is now a doctor and marathon runnner. He managed to overcome his disability and lived a full life of hope and will. As compared to him, my illness seems so small and minor.
I wish the best for him and will pray for him.

人生无常
昨天 (26 June2009)一代歌手Michael Jackson 因为 cardiac arrest 过世了. 他享年50岁. 人生无常, 今天不知明天会发生什么事, 我深深体会这个道理. 人生的道路还很慢长, 最重要是把握先在, 活的快活.

13 June 2009
It has been 2 years 9 days since i first started my dialysis. Can't really relay my feelings for this 2 years. I have been through denial to acceptance to adaptance and finally hope and belief that Miracles will happen. It was hard in the beginning, struggling with leg cramps and restricted food & water intake. Now i have grown used to the limitation, how to cope with dialysis & the changes occuring with my body. This is scary as well coz i'm afriad that i'll slowly forget the feeling of being healthy and normal.
10 June 2009
Went to MEH to see Dr Pary. I had hope that he will give me good news that my kidneys still have hope and that miracle will happen and i will recover. However, he gave me the same answer as every doctor. Kidney is non-reversible and the only alternative for me is transplant. Although it is not the first time i heard this, my heart sinks when i hear this.
Dr Pary is the last hope i pinned on before slapping myself back to reality. I told myself when i started on dialysis that i am only going to give myself 2 years for miracle to happen and recover. But it has not happened. I saw the recent blood test results when Dr Roger Tan came the next day and there is not much improvement on the creatinine level. I could feel another round of cold water splashing on me. Double slap in the face!! Maybe its time that i should really plan for transplantation and not wait any longer. I really hope to get back to a normal and healthy life again.
但是真的恨不甘心, i have been learning qigong since Feb this year and i feel that it has helped me a lot in overall health. To be exact, today is the 121 days since i started. Am i too impatient? Afterall only 4 months since i started. The goal i set for myself is to recover in 6 months. There are evidence of people who have recovered before from cancer and other chronic problems by practing Qigong. I had believed that i will be one of them. But seeing no improvements in my creatininine level make me question myself. Dilemma now, dunno how i should proceed...

12 May 2009
Wow, time flies when you are not thinking of it. Now is May 2009. Two months has passed since my last update. Life goes on as usual but i'm just too busy or lazy to write my blog...
11 May 2009: A day that i will remember for some time. Yesterday 3 of my candidates start work with my client. Wow! Never been so lucky before. I bought 4D (ibet) on 1105, dunno whether will strike or not, waiting for wednesday. Also, on 11 May, i went to SGH for my Angioplasty surgery (ballooning) on the hand to broadened up the vein for dialysis as the dialysis centre say there is stenosis (whatever). Its painful during the surgery, my hand feel like elephant hand when the surgeon is pushing and inserting the balloon, dunno how he do it, cannot see but can feel. The whole surgery last for 2 hours. I'm blessed ! Only one balloon is needed. Hopefully dialysis can be more smooth and clearance can be better in future.
9 May 2009: Vesak Day. My first Vesak day as a Buddhist. Went to Telok Kurau 三宝堂 and a temple in Geylang with 三婶. Experience the procedure of 浴佛.
I've been practicing Qigong for abt 3 months now. Seems so long already but only 3 months. Feel better mentally and overall. Very fancinated with Qigong and mediation at the moment, i will go and find some books and read up more abt it. Recent blood test is not out yet, dunno how is it. As shifu says, "Don't think about it, it will happen."
