Had my 1st quiz yesterday, been a long time since i had a quiz. Did the 3001 CA assignment also, had to enlist the help of my neighbour who is in year 3 for help. =P Tough sia, even after explanation, i still blur blur. Well, at least thats done and heh.. 30% of total marks, i get 20% i happy liao.
Dreamt of my grandmother yesterday. She passed away sometime back, on a day which i would never forget, because the day she passed on, was the day i was admitted to the hospital for cancer treatment. Can still remember that she was passing on in the morning, thus i had a chance to see her for the last time. She was barely concious of the surrounding, but still responded as i called her. =) After that, i had to take a cab down to NUH for admission.
After admission, life would be rather a blur for the next few days. My first time under chemotherapy was rather sucky. It was through IV drip where the medications (total of 4, name = AVBD) were injected directly into the veins. Felt so bad and painful that what was supposed to be a ONE hour session took 4 hours to complete. What a torture!!
After 3~4 days, i was discharged and managed to be at my grandmother's wake for that one time. It was afternoon and was still rather weak, offered incense at her alter and cried. Tears flowed 'uncontroll-ably' as i knelt there.....
Today is Mid-Autumn festival, can still remember a few years ago, when i made pandan-flavoured ice-skin mooncakes 冰皮月餅 for my grandmother. My 5th aunt, who was living with her, told me that she enjoyed my mooncakes and chose mine instead of those bought from shops (To give credit, the shop where i bought the red bean paste made fantastic red bean paste, i made the ice-skin and molded the mooncakes). Very happy to remember that, yet very sad that she couldn't taste my mooncakes anymore.
Somehow, i miss my grandmother despite not being very close to her. I guess that's life, by feeling such sadness, I treasure my family and friends even more. How much time do i have left to spend with my loved ones? To share my joy? To play with friends?
Through death, i found how to live.
Since i am lucky enough to live, i hope that i can give as much as possible to everyone; in care, in friendship and love. As for money, erm .... let me strike toto 1st. then can share more. =P
Speaking of time, this is the clock face of the church bombed during WW II in Berlin, beside the Zoological Garden Main train station.
Time waits for no man.... everyone had thought of caring for friends and stuff everyday, but have you said it out today? i try to say it out everytime, be it a compliment or even a greeting, a smile or laughter. Have you shown your love for your family and friends today?
