Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year to everyone over the globe!!

I'm doing well at the moment, but still in partial quadriplegic state though. I'm now attempting to revive my blog, by revamping the site a bit. I actually started blogging a long time ago since junior high, so there were some immature posts made by me previously, which even make me cringe when I read it. But, I don't intend to delete them, as they contains memories and it shows a younger me.

Now, the main reason for me to resume blogging again is just because I want to continue writing things, so that my already not-so-good writing skills don't get worse as time went by, since I won't be writing anything else with my condition.

What will I be writing? There's a lot of things I got into recently, just to name a few, I guess I'll mainly be writing about Korean Entertainment, aviation etc. And, maybe some of my opinions on what's happening too, be it locally or globally. I have been learning a little bit on 한글 (Han-geul/Han-gul) [Korean Language] this year, so please don't fell weird when I put some 한글 in posts about Korean Entertainment.

Any comments are welcomed in the orange Cbox on the right side! Spam will be deleted though! Thanks!

Food

As you all know, I already started eating orally. At first, I had troubles to eat even the porridge, because I didn't eat through mouth for one year and 'forgotten' how to swallow. After weeks of swallow rehabilitation, I began to be 'familiar' to swallowing already.

Then, my mom added fish inside the porridge and another problem surfaced. I felt very tired in biting or chewing the food, also due to didn't take in food orally for a long time, and so I lost my muscle power of my teeth. After another few weeks, my muscle power came back eventually and I successfully ate the hard foods like McDonald's cheeseburgers, KFC's cheesy wedges and others.

Now, I can eat rice with veges and meat. My mom also self-made 'wantan' for me. Happy! =]

Online E-learning

Since Jan 14, I went register for a few online e-learning courses to learn new things and to prevent my brain getting more rusty. The website is Coursera, it was introduced to me by Samuel Achi since last year. But that time I was still in the hospital for management, with no internet connection, unstable & limited quota mobile data connection and also unable to fully control my laptop by myself, so I haven't started that time.

Coursera is I guess an US based company, it has not only US State Institution but also universities all over the globe as partners. Ranging from engineering, medicine, law, business, social health courses and many more, there are universities from Beijing (Chinese), Russia (Russian) etc etc. But majority are US State Institutions if you want to be taught in English tho. Until now I haven't seen any UK or AUS universities joined which is quite disappointed. The courses are of course just teach fundamentals in a period of a few months only, the professors can't teach all of it as it'll need a few years. There will be some simple quizzes, written assignments and exams. If you pass, you will get a Statement of Accomplishment or Verified Certificate if joined Signature Track for some courses and you'll need to pay for Signature Track of course.

For me, I took quite a lot of courses at one go, I just can't stop joining when I saw a course which I'm interested in. I took Computational Neuroscience, Introduction to Clinical Neurology, Statistical Analysis of fMRI, Calculus Two and another two as revision, Calculus One and Advanced Chemistry. Thanks Samuel for introducing Coursera to me, or else my brain is gonna become more and more rusty.

I'm not trying to help Coursera to advertise or promote, just sharing here, so if you wanna join or learn a bit more on something you interested but couldn't afford to or even as revision, go register yourself and join a course at HERE.

It's been a while.......

It's been a while, my last post was Aug last year. Many things happened. I had my surgery which repairs my pharynx from leaking and remove the anterior titanium instrumentation plating Oct last year, undergo swallowing rehabilitation after the surgery and now I can eat already. Thank God!

Nov 13, it's my birthday month. Too bad I still can't eat things that time, so no cakes no celebration.

Jan 14, my grandfather passed away due to high serum concentration of potassium I think. I can't attend his funeral and I felt bad about it. I promise I'll go to his grave once I'm able to get up. I missed you, grandpa.

Feb 14, it's Chinese New Year! By the time, I'm able to eat already, so I went outside my room, on my wheelchair, and had reunion dinner with my family. So happy that I'm able to have reunion dinner with them this year, not like last year.

7 months... Faith on You remains...

7 months, I've been bed-ridden for 7 months, yet still not much improvement on spinal activity, still can't move my lower parts, but I still have faith that You won't forget me, You will one day heal me and let me stand up to glorify You. After 26/12/12, I keep waiting for Your miraculous miracle to happen, never lose faith.

Honestly, I did lose my faith on Him before when I'm admitted into ICU at Sibu hospital. It was one day after my surgery been done. Why admitted? Because my right lung collapsed due to bacteria infection, I was diagnosed to have hospital-acquired pneumonia, had breathing difficulties and need to be on ventilation machine. The time in ICU was so hard for me, I couldn't move and I couldn't call for people at all, because the ventilator tube was at the vocal chord through mouth. I struggled and fainted few times there, then I was diagnosed to have bradycardia too. Need to use IV dopamine to keep my heartbeat rate normal. Pneumonia+bradycardia, it's so hard and I blamed, scolded Him for don't care me, made me suffer from infections and paralysis. I even wanted Him to just take me back Home so I can be freed from sufferings once and for all. Although there were pastors visited and prayed for me, but that time I completely lose faith to Him, completely.

As time passes, I transferred 4 times, from Sibu hospital to Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre, Singapore to Miri hospital to Kuching hospital then back to Miri hospital. I believed I've a little bit of recovery since I can feel hungry. It started when I was in Kuching but my belly still no feeling yet, so He didn't don't care me at all, He was slowly healing me!

Today 7/8/13, I'm still full of faith that He will heal me completely and make me stand up again. Don't lose faith although it might be medically impossible! Amen! =]

Miri Inter-Clan (Surname) Badminton Competition..........

Today just ended my first attempt in the inter-clan badminton competition.....
Overall, all players from my clan still ok ba.... But only have one girl player nia...
So, for me, I played three doubles matches, first double match, I partnered with ah wei, a perfect 'tanker', but still lose, maybe because i am a bit nervous... 0.0

For the second doubles match, I partnered with my old school's friend, Henry Ngu. My first glance at him was I thought he not very good in badminton, but when I warm up with him, I realized that my first glance was wrong.... He had at least all the required badminton techniques. So, while the doubles 2 starts, the score for my clan was 2-2, so, my match will reveal the final result for my clan. At first, I wasn't very nervous, but some IDIOTS keep making me nervous......

When the match starts, I managed to calm myself down.... But I am more surprised that my partner was IMBA in his defence, the opponent smashed all 6 balls on him, but he managed to return all back.... 0.0 really imba....

My 3rd match, I compete with my disciple siblings, Teo Yu Kheng, the previous national backup team member... I was very nervous when receive his smashes, but I still managed to return 65% of his smashes, but still, the 3rd match, I losed..... Which then followed by the lose in the men veteran doubles, women doubles, and the last men 2nd doubles, so the final score 4-1....

For my own matches.... I only won one but lose 2... So, for the next inter-clan badminton competition, I am gonna improve myself.....

GOGOGOGOGO!!!! Aim for higher achievements!!! ^^
