Praise God for a Speedy Recovery

Hun's mom is out of the ICU today and will be transfered to a general ward. Her surgeon was very happy with the recovery from the op. That's great news to all of us, especially Hun's family. I went to see her on sat, she was having lunch and could eat one-third of the porridge that was given to her. I think it's a really good progress and God is really healing her at a miraculous rate.

Just very thankful that she is recovering well. At the moment, Hun does not know how she is physically, if she can walk on her own, eat on her own etc. Basically cos she can't move at the moment for the simple reason that she's still being hooked up to all those monitoring machines. But all these will known when she's in the general ward and when she's no longer hooked up.

But I believe that God will grant her a Miraculous Recovery, cos that's what I believe was inspired upon my heart to pray for her for. Many brothers and sisters in Christ has also shared with Hun that they sense in their spirit that this is an experience that will glorify God's name, and that all will see that only God would have been able to perform such a miracle in her life.

I pray that this will also be a life transforming experience for Hun's mom, and she will know God like never before, that she will be a woman used for God for His glory. And also Hun's family will rise up and begin to be used by God to touch and change lives too. I believe God has greater plans for Hun's family, and I pray that they will be willing and obediant and offer their lives to be used by God. Amen!

It all happened so quickly

We received an sms alert on 1 Mar at about 2AM in the morning. Hun's mom lost consciousness and was admitted to A&E via an ambulance. We woke up to pray for his mom. That night I couldn't really sleep well at all...my heart was just pumping so quickly and I kept waking up almost every hour. I hope nothing had happened to Hun's mom.

At 5 plus AM, I smsed Hun to ask him how things were, he said that his mom was admitted into ICU ward after being diagnosed has having suffered from a stroke attack. I told him I'll take a day's leave to be with him.

Mom offered to go down with me to visit Hun's mom. Thereafter I'll be staying on a little while longer to accompany him before leaving him with his family to handle to administrative matters like talking to the doc etc...

We reach at about 12 plus and had lunch at the Kopitiam food court at TTSH before going to visit Hun's mom. I couldn't really eat as well. Just had their toast and egg set. When we went up to the ICU ward, we saw Hun and his family sleeping in one of the cubicles meant for family members of the ICU patients. we didn't want to disturb them so we proceeded directly into the ward to take a look at Hun's mom.

We saw her sleeping there, hooked up to all the various machines. It's the first time I've been in an ICU ward. When I saw her lying there, my heart ached. Just 3 nights ago I was having dinner with her, and now, suddenly she's lying there, looking so frail and fragile. When we went out, Hun's family woke as one of his brothers saw us. Hun just looked very tired.

After we chatted for a little while, they went in to look at Hun's mom. We joined them later for awhile before she was pushed down to the Neuroscience department to have a brain scanned and for the doctors to decide what to do. I didn't go along with them at first. But later Hun came up to look for us to tell us what was going on and asked if we would like to join them. Mom said she'll go home first while I wished to stay with Hun for a while more.

There are the Neuroscience, docs informed the family exactly what had happened and they were given 2 options of surgery. They chose the one option which the doctors has recommended, which although is a higher risked procedure, there are much lesser after effects after the op. It all happened very soon...at about 3pm she was pushed to the Neuroscience, by 5:30pm, the op was to take place.

I could see that Hun and his family were very worried and anxious. Hun's mom looked scared too, and we kept assuring here that Jesus was with her and would be with her throughout the operation. I then let Hun and his family spend some private time together before she was finally pushed into the operation theatre.

When they came out, Mom and I had dinner with Hun and his big brother. After dinner, Mom and I went home while Hun and his bro went back to await the completion of the op. It must have been a very anxious 5 hour wait for them. I myself felt so restless the entire evening and kept on praying.

I was very tired and went to bed early at about 10pm. I prayed and interceeded while the op was still carrying on and kept praying for God to watch over the operation. As I was praying in tongues, I was inspired to sing songs of victory. I was impressed by the Holy Spirit that this was a battle, and one of the keys to winning a battle was to sing victory songs. So I just kept on singing and proclaiming victory over the operation and over her health. As I was singing I started to get more excited...in a happy way. So I sensed that the operation would be a success. Not sure how long I have prayed before I fell asleep, I think it was about 30mins. But soon I was awaken and I messaged Hun to ask him how was the outcome. Hun called me back and said she wasn't out yet. So I just continued praying and soon fell asleep again. At about 11 plus, Hun msged to say that the op was a success! The family just spoke to the doc but they have not seen his mom yet.

It was such a joyful moment! And I wish I could be there to share his joy and relief, but I was definitely there with him in spirit!

Now we'll just keep praying for the restoration of her health, praying for complete success of the operation with no implications and complications, and a very miraculous healing process. And we believe and give thanks that God has heard the prayer of his children and he has honoured that efforts put in by the fellow brothers and sisters in Christ as they joined Hun's family in unity to interceed for Hun's mom.

It all happened in 1 day, but this day we saw what Christian love is. I'm sure Hun's family must have felt very supported with so many believers upholding them in prayer. Praise God for good friends and family-in-Christ in times of needs such as this!

Sick over the weekend

Think I've been too physically and mentally drained out again lately....sick in bed over the weekend.

On Sat, I woke up early to attend my bimonthly training. Was supposed to stay for a second part of it which commences at 1:30pm (after the 9am-1pm session) but the headache was so bad that I decided to go home to catch a nap before practice at Grace at 4:30pm. Thankfully there was another session going on on Monday.

After I left office, I couldn't even walk without feeling the throbs in my head! So I hailed a cab to head home. Went home and slept immediately till about 4pm. Den woke up to have something before dad drove me and bong for practice. After practice, we went for dinner. Helped my mom decorate 1 basket for her hamper den headed back to sleep.

Next morning, I woke up to prepare to go to church. After service, we headed straight home and I slept again...till 4pm before I woke up to chat awhile with Hun and have something to eat (didn't eat lunch). at about 6pm, slept again till 7pm and then dinner.

After dinner, I went home to watch a bit of tv and slept at 10pm all the way till the next day.

Slept alot, but I guess it's the only way to make a headache go away...

We're Hollanders!

After months of searching, we finally got a flat! A 4-room unit at our dream location, Holland Village! More details are on my diary of a bride-to-be blog.....yay! we're gonna be Hollanders!

New Furnitures!

Yesterday my uncle and aunt delivered some furnitures to my home. They're shifting house so they gave my family their sofa (a 3 seated + 1 single seater) and a bookshelf cum display cabinet. So after work, I went home with Hun to do some major furniture re-org!

My room now has a new look! The computer table was shifted out, replacing the shelf that was holding our fax machine and telephone. And that shelf was replacing another small shelf near my kitchen entrance.

My study table was shifted further right from where it used to be. It's now next to my wardrobe, leaving enough space for the wardrobe doors to be opened. The new bookshelf is assembled in my room, to the left of my study table.

My full length mirror, which was to the right of my study table was shifted across my bedroom and placed beside my small shelf that was next to the TV. Now my mirror is finally nearer to the light!!

My bed has to be rotated 90 degrees so instead of facing the TV, I'm now facing the door or the window...now watching TV can pose a bit of problem cos I can no longet lie down and watch...sigh....

But already I'm having ideas of how to spruce up my room. I wanna a lamp to put at the small space beside the new book shelf. And I hope to buy wooden blinds for my windows. Then when I turn on the wall lamp and this together, my room will have a very cosy country feel! Yeah!

New furnitures, new tv, new digital SCV set-top box...I'm all set for the CNY! And mom has bought me 2 new dresses for the new year too! yeah :)

And of course, I won't forget to mention the huge study table my uncle and aunt has blessed me and Hun! And this table is so special because it's our very first piece of furniture. If it's so big, that means we have to have a big enough house with a big enough study room to put the shelf in! So excited to finding out the unit God has planned for me!

I'm so gonna have a blessed Chinese New Year!
