forgotten no more laaaa haha!

me went, me saw, me likey!
-
HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN ABT THIS! Jo's gonna kill me haha.
-
it was when i was admitted in the hospital see. i was bored and was calling people having to cancel out on them and stuff as well as receiving calls abt how i was doing and all. so i decided to call Jo Ann who just finished her semester exam the day before (Friday). she's studying dentistry in IMU, Bukit Jalil see? and she says she was dead stressed haha.
-

pretty no? but the guy looks so much like crap hey

-
so what abt Jo Ann? i called to ask how was everything, if she was all packed to leave for her hometown back in Kota Kinabalu. also set up a time for us to meet up when she comes back from her 3 week hol. we caught up with each other's life for a while and i asked her if she could "pray for me" see? (think i should have said "keep me in your prayers" haha) coz she thought i wanted her to pray for me to get well soon right there and then, through the phone. ahahahah! that then was hillarious! but naw,
-
Moses, "dun need la through the phone. pray for me later before u sleep also can wad"
Jo, "Yeah, but u're the one who's in the hospital so u get to choose hey"
Moses, "ummm... then if u dun mind... through the phone lo" (*chuckles*)
Jo, "WALAU! ASK TO PRAY THROUGH THE PHONE WOHHH"
Moses, "whatttttt?? u said i could choose wad! if u prefer the latter also can wad"
Jo, "nola, can la. just joking with u lar" ---> *i seriously didnt think she was really gonna do it*
Moses, "haha alrightttt"
-
so yeah, Jo prayed for me THROUGH the phone much to my surprise! how cool was that! now i know who to go for if i need some uncommon praying methods haha! but i really appreciate the thought and the prayer hey. THANKS JO ANN! i mean, i'm all better now not only coz Jo prayed for me, but also coz everyone else out there did pray for my healing. thanks a lot hey! really appreciate every prayer!

food poisoning + sjmc - stress = smiles

me went, me saw, me likey!
-
alright. everyone's been asking me what had happened to me last weekend and this is to fill up whatever gap's that needs filling hey.
-
on the 21st of this month, i was admitted into SJMC (Subang Jaya Medical Center) from food poisoning. kinda surprising right? didnt expect it would happen to me, not in my lifetime but hey, we all go thru crap like this at least once in a lifetime right?
-
all happened on friday evening when i had the usual fried rice which i've been eating since last year. after that i went over for HOMEs (Bibile Study) and usually after HOMEs will eat one mah. we had ruffles, mini croissants, tea and strawberry ice-cream cake. after that, i went over to the Cyber to do some de-stressing haha. needed some CoD4 (Call of Duty 4) for some fun like i always do every weekend and had a GREAT TIME pawning people like mad! i practically played till no one wanted to play with me and kept getting top kills HAHA!
-
3.30am: it was around then did i feel a lil queezy and cun cun i saw Justin, Jon and David at the payment counter and i left as well and asked a lift from generous ol' Jon. Got home, tried puking the gas (stomach was expanded and felt v gassy). failed. took a vitamin pill and went to bed.
-
4.30am: was jarred awake from my sleep coz of this diarrhea feeling i was getting and rushed off to the washroom. and then i spent the better part of the hour shitting my ass out like mad. my stool came out LIQUID, and it wasnt even diluted stool. it was just all in liquid watery form and it was in a freaking shade of GREEN! dammit! i felt so dehydrated and was fighting to stay awake coz i felt like fainting after that hour of post-motioning. imagine that hey, "fainted guy on the toilet bowl" haha! felt better to stand, finally. got up. flushed. and felt like burping. burp and it was puke at spilled out instead. i was thinking, "oh hey! seriously wad i really need now. time to puke everything out hey". *puked puked puked puked puked puked* (very visual ey?)
-
5.30 am: everything came up out. everything since dinner. and i actually felt SOOOOO MUCH better after that lol. quickly called home, dad picked up and he suggested calling up Aunt Connie who lives in Petaling Jaya to come give me a lift to SJMC. called aunt Connie, told her what happened and she asked me to rest 1st and last at least an hour till she got here. called church leaders Peng Hoe and Evan but only managed to pull thru to Peng Hoe. (haha! sorry peng hoe for ruining ur sleep hey) told him what happened as well as to keep me in prayers. ady 6am by then.
-
6.45: Aunt Connie and husband Unc' Paul finally reached my apartment and sent me to SJMC. i tell u, at that point i seriously felt like fainting all over the place. i felt nauseated, felt like puking, shitting and sleeping all at the same time. i felt like CRAP! reached SJMC, went thru the emergency entrance. registered and made the huge mistake of not bringing along my wallet. wallet=ID card. hailat GG! but managed to get admitted anyways. and the doc took some notes, asked questions, heart rate, said it could be either food poisoning or appendix. dammit la! the mention of appendix got my eyes bulged wide i tell u! nurse took my blood pressure and body temperature. hand was poked with a needle and IV drip was set up coz of the dehydration. sent to my room and diagnosed with food poisoning by my doc, Dr. Yong Fee Mann. a very tall lady with a bright personality and she talks like a... discipline teacher ahaha! reminds me of the way Puan Chia speaks lol.
-
then spent two nights at the hospital without any laptop, tv, mp3 or anything electrical for that matter. only had my phone to make lots of phone calls cancelling out on my friends here and there and not being able to go on with initial plans for the weekend.
-
Saturday: was supposed to go out with Karen Tan and Anne for a Karaoke outing and fun on coz it was Karen's last day here in Subang before flying back to Miri.
-
Sunday: was supposed to be on choir on Sunday morn and was kinda important coz i was the only guy who could sing tenor that morn on choir. sorry Elder Joy! was also supposed to attend bro Hong's b'day party at his damn big house in Country Heights, Kajang. missed it la dammit!
-
Monday: was supposed to have a discusssion for my group's Psychology presentation on Neuron Transmitters that was to be presented on Wednesday morn. had to postpone it. and i was supposed to go for a movie with Kaisin and her frn that afternoon. called to cancel it. haih. was also supposed to go early to college coz the Be_ADP Kitchen needed to use my mini oven. sorry guys.
-
called a small bunch of people to cancel out on them and suddenly my phone was filled with sms-es from a bigger bunch of people! haha! thanks guys for the "get well" sms-es. really helped.
-
hugo called tho...
Hugo, "Moses, are u in Subang now?"
Moses, "hey bro. no man, i'm in uhh.... SJMC?"
Hugo, "WHAT THE F***! ARE U F*****G SERIOUS! OH F***! OH F****! THE F*** DID U DO LA YOU F***HEAD! F*** WEI! HOW LA YOU NOW!" (wow, i tot there was only a number of times a person could say F*** zzzzzz)
Moses, "it was food poisoning man. i'm ok now tho"
Hugo, "alright man. u take care ah. i gtg run now"
-
so there i was having a serious case of diarrhea and a fever, electronically depraved of my daily toys and i literally had nothing but my jacket, my apartment keys, my phone and the clothes on my back with me then. aunt connie decided to go over to my apartment to get some essentials. asked her to get some clothes, toothbrush/paste and such, as well as a much needed phone charger and some 100 PLUS to replace the salts lost in my body due to diarrhea (recommended by my doc). Evan called back and i told him what happened and he visited me on midday Saturday. and he so graciously lent me a book! whee! "A Queer Eye For The Straight Guy". its a book written by 5 gay men (the Fab 5's) for straight men as a "Guide to Looking Better, Cooking Better, Dressing Better, Behaving Better and Living Better"
-
sounds queer doesnt it? but hey, it a damned good book aside from being written by gay men. it emphasizes on Food and Wine, Design, Fashion, Culture as well as Grooming and i have to say that i am kinda motivated to change a lil of myself. and no, i'm not turning gay. the book's purpose is to help straight men look and live better for the sake of women! really, check out the reviews on the books online. its damn good! no doubt i finished the whole book in the 2 days i spent there at the hospital.
-
hospital life wasnt so boring. i spent most of the time spent there catching on my sleep. cant help sleeping too coz i was on drugs there hey. dunno how many times ady i woke up and my food was ady there waiting for me to be eaten cold lol. it was a whole two days of peace, quiet and resting la. very... de-stressing heheh. have to say i had a good time being away from my laptop for once.
-
because i had a serious case of diarrhea, i couldnt eat ANYTHING oily, vegetables, only small amounts of fruits and absolutely no dairy products for that matter. it all makes my diarrhea worse and i was stuck eating fish porridge for every single meal there. service there at SJMC was EXCELLENT! and them nurses, cleaners and deliver people were so very polite and nice. have to say tho, not many hot nurses for eye-candy haha! but pricey hey! 2 and a half days there cost me RM 1600+ ah! walau! Timothy told me that he just found out that i was in M'sia's best hospital lol. figures. sad part was dad didnt buy any medical insurance for me and it was all supposed to come out from his pocket. damn right? mana tau leh, mom suddenly "remembered" that she brought her company's family package health insurance, TWO YEARS AGO. and she never told dad abt it. she said she got the insurance cards for the whole family and tossed it into her office drawer to be forgotten for the next 2 yrs. the heck! but thank God for that la. insurance is paying for everything so all's good! was then discharged from the hospital on midday Monday. and i had to skip class haha! but lost my medical leave cert somehow and..... no prob hey!
-
just wanna thank ya'll for praying for me and supporting me thru the weekends hey. really appreciate the prayers and currently still on the road to full recovery. and really appreciate Aunt Connie and Unc' Paul for taking up time from their usual busy weekend to come help me. still have to watch v carefully of what i eat lo so that i wont get worse. but hahah! i've been whacking oily stuff like no one's business. okok gotta stop coz going for medical checkup this saturday haha!

romans 5: 2-5

me went, me saw, me likey!
-
Romans 5: 2-5
"And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."
-
yeah... i can see this thru yo. unrequited or not, i should know better =]

second chances

......

i'm sick of second chances
cigarettes turn to ashes
i'm standing under street signs
to know the places i've been my whole life
-
i watch the hours pass us
another one burn to ashes
i'm waiting for your phone call
to come and save me so you can break my fall
-
i will stand outside, wait for you to come find me
i will keep on my light by my bed till you get home
and i won't sleep tonight, till you get home
i won't sleep tonight, till you get home
-
my bed light's burning brighter
boiled like a boxing fighter
you've got me fighting pillows
my eyes just won't close till you're at my side
-
the hours slip to morning
i see the sun coming up
i'm turning off the tv
i'm watching faster than you gave up on me
-
i will stand outside, wait for you to come find me
i will keep on my light by my bed till you get home
and i won't sleep tonight, till you get home
i won't sleep tonight, till you get home
-
i got your letter that you sent to me
it feels like summer
but you're far away from me
when i need you here
-
i will stand outside, wait for you to come find me
i will keep on my light by my bed till you get home
and i won't sleep tonight, till you get home
i won't sleep tonight, till you get home
-

maybe's solace

me went, me saw, me likey!
-
wow! i've been gone for such a long time! mostly being damned lazy and nothing much to blog abt now. life's been as stagnant as these four walls i see each day and it's realy bugging me.
-
finally came across this poem that i've been looking for for quite some time now tho. absolutely LOVE IT!
-
The human heart has hidden treasures,
In secret kept, in silence sealed;
The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams the pleasures,
Whose charms were broken if revealed.
And days may pass in gay confusion,
And nights in rosy riot fly,
While, lost in Fame's or Wealth's illusion,
The memory of the Past may die.
-
But, there are hours of lonely musing,
Such as in evening silence come,
When, soft as birds their pinions closing,
The heart's best feelings gather home.
Then in our souls there seems to languish,
A tender grief that is not woe;
And thoughts that once wrung groans of anguish,
Now cause but some mild tears flow.
-
And feelings, once as strong as passions,
Float softly back a faded dream;
Our own sharp grief and wild sensations,
The tale of other's suffering seem.
Oh! When the heart is freshly bleeding,
How longs it for that time to be,
When, through the mist of years receeding,
It woes but lives in reverie!
-
And it can dwell on moonlight glimmer,
On evening shade and loneliness;
And while the sky grows dim and dimmer,
Feel no untold and fresh distress.
Only a deeper impulse given,
By lonely hour and darkened room,
To solemn thoughts that sour to heaven,
Seeking a live and world time.
