Out of Hospital

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

JUST A QUICK note to say that I was released from the hospital on the night of 23rd August, Thurs, 2007. Upon release (bill amounted to almost RM21k) I rushed to the wake of Uncle Lai. Surprised to have met Julie Lai (Daniel's Fan) and Cheryl Lim (Christian Songwriter and vocalist)... small world eh? This morning, I was at the funeral service and proceeded to the Christian Cemetery in Cheras by noon. Later I had gone home to pack essentials and bills/letters to transfer to my sister's where I'll be recuperating for the next month or so. Also dropped by the bike shop to leave notice about my bike and a police report to be done when I am able. My loving sister Irene and Bro-in-law Mark helped me to do all these all day... carrying me in and out on wheelchair and crutches! Love you all!

Some good news - while I was ransacking my bag of "junk" mail yesterday, I realised that by chance, I had stumbled across an insurance letter from MAA which I'd received just before the accident... some free of charge insurance for 2 months and it just happened that it covers 9 days of my hospilisation. In short, I may get RM900. (Update: No RM900. MAA said that I was admitted 3 days too early! Insurance, figures!) Doesn't sound much but with the scarcity of jobs from last Dec, '06 and with my current disability, I am already on a deficit of 25k.

I have just missed out on some jobs like the McDonald's TVC I was choreographing, the Digi Cultural Randai Project, acting in a featured movie, the Merdeka NGO performances, the handbook design-layout for Women's Aid and so on. Sad sad, I need work! However, just to let you all know, I am still incredibly thankful for the blessings and graces God has bestowed on me. Really... I am all smiles in my heart. You all have shown me so much love I could just cry!!!

Hugs to all....

CELEBRATE . REMEMBER . FIGHT BACK

RELAY for LIFE 2012 Media Launch took flight on Tuesday, Sept 4th, 2012. This will mark the 4th  RELAY for LIFE  that I'll be participating in along with the celebrities organised by our hero Dato' Yasmin Yusuff. It was special today as I was with my sister Stella who is a cancer survivor. We were in matching purples. Relay for Life is an overnight, community-based event to celebrate cancer survivorship and raise funds forNCSM’s cancer awareness projects.  RFL starts with the Survivors’ Lap, a testimony to the fact that so many people today are surviving cancer. Cancer survivors from the community walk the first lap around the track to celebrate their victories while everyone cheers them on. The main aim of this event is that the track should not be devoid of people throughout the 16 hours. The most inspirational time of Relay is the Luminaria Ceremony which happens at dusk when cancer survivors are honoured and those who have lost their battle with the disease a...

Mishap at 8:20 PM, Sunday, 12th August, 2007

AM SITTING ON my hospital bed on Monday night 11:05 PM (20th Aug, 2007). My buttocks are in such a sore when I sit too long. But I better get this done before my sleeping pill kicks in. (Taken by Mr Wan, a kind Samaritan) SO, MORE THAN a week ago, I met with an accident on MRR2, 15 mins out of my house on my way to Putra Jaya to support Jac in ASEAN Ikon. I fell from my bike when my front wheel's brakes were applied stronger than the back, so I lost balance and fell about a stone's throw away. The bike ended up on my right thigh. I did not hit the car in front and neither was I hit by the car behind me. The good Samaritan came out of his car (Mr Wan) and directed traffic and then lifted the heavy bike off me. I then scooped myself off to the middle of the highway by dragging my left hip. I soon realised that something was wrong with my right leg as it was completely numb and sore. I couldn't move it. I suspected something was broken. Mr Wan described having seen sparks fly ...

The Tunku Tapes

K Das & The Tunku Tapes - Candid conversations with the late Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia's first prime minister, delve deep into the character and ideas of one of Asia's most colourful politicians TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN In His Own Words ON BECOMING PRIME MINISTER So many things have happened in my lifetime that I cannot ignore. In the first place, there was that Indian fellow who threw dice, the astrologer. When I was District Officer in Kulim in 1939, he predicted that I would be the first prime minister of this country. Everybody laughed, I laughed . . . how could a poor district officer of Kulim be the first prime minister? But he said, "You can laugh but that is what your stars foretell." That was in 1939. In 1957, I became prime minister of Malaya . . . ON TUNKU THE MAN I believe in living and being happy, otherwise what the hell do you want to live for? How long do you expect to live for? Only yesterday I was running and jumping about as a kid, then as a you...
