R.I.P. Dr Tay

I felt a thug at my heart when I heard that Dr Tay passed away.

Dr Tay was my family doctor since I was young. I remember him as a friendly, soft spoken and grandfatherly figure. His rates were affordable and we could always trust him to give a second opinion.

When I moved house in P6, I started seeing other doctors nearer to my new place instead. My dad still went to him for high blood medication now and then. The last he saw him, he said Dr Tay was so weak from his illness that he could hardly hear Dr Tay's voice when he spoke. He just had a major heart operation then. As pale as he looked and as weak as he sounded, he was there as usual to see patients.

What we heard was his deteriorating health condition since 1 year ago, from the nurse who is also his wife.

As everyone shared the inspiring speech of the late Dr Richard Teo who regretted living his life in pursuant of wealth and riches, I want to remember doctors who became what they do for their passion and lived their passion for saving lives till their very last breath.

Thank you for your healing hands Dr Tay. You'll always be remembered.

W.I.L.L.

I learnt one thing today and I'm sure about it.

Never believe in weather forecasts.. Especially Singapore's. I diligently checked the forecast which told me 5-8pm - thunderstorm in North East area... made me abit apprehensive about jogging home. Just before I handed my fate to NEA... I decided to forecast it with my own eyes at my office rooftop garden.

Looked bright though clouds seemed looming.

Brought all my gears so worse come to worse if it pours, I'll take a bus home which is on my bus route home anyways.

Go Go GO!! Mega packed up and I was determined to beat the clouds.

I'm now home and dry after 1 hr. It was even a cool breezy jog home.

I applaud myself for that moment of decisiveness and positivity which won me some great cardio workout.

Believe and it WILL happen!

arms around you and me

A short week next week. That's every working adult's motivation.

A cooling and well planned weekend I thought. 

Visited MIL in NUH.. she's having chest infection and been there for a week. Hope she gets better.

Met up with Cedric to choose the laminate for my platform at my masterbedroom. I LOVE choosing such stuff.. it's like playing in real SIMS.. difference is that real factor is incredibly high @ 101% and I don't have to beg friends to give me special ingredients to complete my quests and to get simoleons. 

Caught Looper at J8. With the CCL, J8 has became ES and mine's fave movie place. So accessible. I love LTA.

Today was a pampering myself day. Did my facial and had a haircut. Had a wonderful homecooked meal warmed up for me when I reached home. Love u okasan. 

I think I'll miss my parents so much when I move out. The thought already can drum up my tear glands.They are the most wonderful people on earth and I'm so thankful to have them. 

I look forward to seeing them safe and sound at home at the end of the day and at the start of each day. Thank you. Please stay healthy and happy. 

On that note, I hope to will my strength to my MIL to fight that horrible infection. I wanna lend my strength to ES also who's been tired shuttling to and from the hospital. 

And of coz, I need to update on what's playing for mochi. 

Been listening to Christina Perri and her voice is simply awesomeness. One of her best songs to me, wonderful melody and mood. I wanna send this song to ES.!

ARMS

I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I'm home

How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around?
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go...

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
And I've never opened up
I've never truly loved 'til you put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

You put your arms around me and I'm home
