I accompanied the Ma for her follow up visit to the Gastroenterology Specialist from 2 weeks ago today. A fair bit of good news. Her blood tests came back negative for the anti antiIg something. Also, her liver enzymes had dropped by about 80% according to the good doctor. I'm just glad that she's on the mend, well at least her liver is. She had me worried for a fair bit of time, not knowing the cause of the elevated liver enzymes levels. I thank you all for your kind prayers for the Ma.
On a side note, I'm most definitely not out of the danger zone. Spent 5 hours plus on the phone with Cheeky Monkey last night. He's being a cheeky monkey indeed ! Haha ... But I'm not complaining.
It was a marathon session. From 9 plus in the evening to about 2.30 the next morning. I hope I don't faint when the next phone bill arrives ! Poor baby was basically stoned in the office. I can imagine what's that like, waking up at 6.30am just to hear my voice again. Haha ... Sorry, dearie ! :D At least I get to wake up a wee bit later and take a short nap now.

Get over me
So I met up with him earlier. Talked to him and told him that we should not continue seeing each other. That taking it slow has now come to a halt.
Surprisingly, he took it pretty well. Haha. Considering that Cheeky Monkey thought he might get violent. As if.
One thing he asked me to do. Think it over. And if I still say yes tomorrow, he will let me go. I listened and told him, I'll grant him this request. I know I've made my mind up.
Ah.
He's a good guy, most times but as you know, we'd drifted a little after he discovered a text which blew everything I knew and trust of him to pieces. Maybe it's the best option yet.
*shrugs*
I guess only time will tell if things are meant to be. Things, do indeed happen for a reason. In the grand cosmic universe, nothing is stable. I accept and I believe.

Sisters Unite !
Whew !
I'd say what a night. The day started out alright, I had a good night's sleep, considering. I've decided to pop a visit to Elder Sister's (ES) place earlier as I have not seen the kids for a week ! Missed those 'lil buggers. Also, I've got things to pass over to them after the somewhat major clean up.
I was actually supposed to meet up with Kav for a lunch date because we had postponed it for too many times. So anyways, as that got postponed again, I'm left with a wide open plan for the day.
So. I thought, what the hey right ? I might as well spend some quality time with the sisters and Ma. So what then do we decide to do ? Makan of course ! We went down to Bedok Food Centre (it's so convenient with one straight bus from my place ... ) and ate and ate. My Younger Sis (YS) with not much to do at home decided to come with. ES brought Yayah along as she was calling out to her mommy when we went stock replenishing spree aka grocery shopping. So there, you have it, Sisters Unite ! Haha ... We should form a good team. We are a good team. We rock, Sisters !
Food ordered, plenty and I had to eat, of course. My resolve shredded to smithereens because, where's the enjoyment of food if you can't join in, eh ? Satay, Tauhu Telor, Fried Carrot Cake, Fried Kway Teow with fresh cockles and Pisang Goreng ! Yummy !!! Mans, I salivate again thinking of the food.
After the Makan Session, Ma wanted to go straight home but we sisters decided that the night was still young. So after dropping off the Ma and Yayah, we then decided to head off to Changi Airport. Both YS and I have yet to see Terminal 3 and ES volunteered to be our "tour guide". What a lovely way to spend the evening ! What a crowd as it seems like everyone had also decided to pop down to Changi Airport for a 'lil recreational walking.
Terminal 3 to Terminal 2 to Terminal 1. ES was quite excited to be there and the idea of checking in and fly on a plane at the drop of a hat. She had never flown before and was quite hyped up about flying. I wanted to fly too !!! We walked and walked and walked. All those walking, wow ! If I didn't build any calf muscles, I don't know what will ! We finally found a sweet spot at the viewing gallery of T1. Sat and chatted and got grilled. I was throwing the idea of spending the night at Cheeky Monkey's place. Catch the Man U match or just get konked out on the sofa. Wanted a cover from the Ma and YS was quite agreeable to it. Thanks, sis !
In the end, I didn't because 1) I'm not that kind of girl and 2) It's much too early to be spending the night.
So there you go. I'm gonna say goodnight and sweet dreams !

Clean up
I just got back from the office. Thank you, Iz Bro for sending me all the way home. Considering that you have to make a cross country track from the West (my office) to the East (my place) and back to the West again (your place) ! And so late too ! R and I appreciated all the extra pair of hands that you rendered in the clearing of the storage spaces. Even so, R still has one more level to clear. I don't know when he would be able to do so as he'd be away soon. Maybe, we'll try clearing sometime next week ? If I don't get grounded for staying late every night.
Okay, I confessed. I left the office earlier than normal yesterday. But all those late coming home is seriously wearing my Ma's patience. And when I reached home late, I missed dinner and I think the Ma's getting kinda pissed off with all the wasted non eaten food. She made chicken rice yesterday (or rather on Thursday !) and I said I would be home in time to eat but I didn't eat even though I was home before 11pm ! Bad girl !
Well, I'm seriously exhausted. I guess I will have to sleep soon.
Goodnight birdies !

Comics !
I went over to Cheeky Monkey's place after work. He wanted to show me his comic books aka graphic novels collection. He wanted to recommend some reads as he noticed that I did like the Marvel series (who wouldn't, by the way).
I borrowed 5 books after much consideration as there was only so much I could carry back. Hah ... This is where the post got to be censored !
Anyways, CM, if you're reading this, I guess the fun and games had started ? But before we jump in with both feet, let me untie the one knot, that is my guy. I've decided that the best option for us (me and him) is for me to cut off all strings and knots so that we (you and me) can hang out more often. Whaddya' think ? Not that I need your permission, of course !
So anyways, since CM's place was so far in the boondocks, I had to make sure I did not miss the last fast bus around. I left at about late 9-ish. So here I am. At home, feeding unnecessary reading materials to you poor souls. Haha. Too bad, I like ! :p

One step ...
Did I care to mention ? Did I dare to mention ?
Yes, I did ! And Yes, I will !!!
We kissed and hugged !!
Ah ... Life is so complicated. If only things were different. If only we are different people ... *sighs*
It was nice, I like it ! :D

To bed, to bed ... I shall
I am soooooo sleepy.
Just chatting with R at the moment. Have to stop soon. Need to not look like the ugly cousin of the panda family. Hah. As if, I could !
So anyways, Sam sent me the link for the medical schools in China which are recognised here. He told me it would cost about 50 grand for 5 years of study. Tempting, isn't it ?
I shall have a look through tomorrow (or rather later today) to deliberate. Not an easy task to just up and go and study again. Tempting as it may sound ....
I need the moolah, though. Shall I start a campaign for "Send Hel to medical school" fund ?
Haha ..
