Loss

I guess time does heal...but HOW long? we will never know.... 2 weeks has passed but the emotions still run strong... I think when the hustle and bustle and running around comes to an end, and your mind and body gets hit by the hard truth, the scabs of the healing wound are picked away and the sore is fresh once again....

Hang in there Ma (my aunt) Mum, and mama's (uncles), and most of al NANA (grandma) I know now that each and everyone of you are apart and thrown back into your usual lives..your healing and adjustment process will begin once again ...hang in there!

R.I.P. my dear Uncle ..my Dear "Mama"

Yesterday we got the dreaded SMS...."CMama has gone home to be with the Lord at 3.15"

He was sick for the past month, but he had his siblings there with him through out the entire ordeal and my Grandma saw him just before he passed and said her last goodbye while he could still hear....Lord I thank you for his life and I pray that he may be at peace now. To know that he is in a better place gives me great comfort.


This is a message I left for him on his webpage:

Dearest Pa, It is still very hard to comprehend that you are no longer with us. Was looking foward to seeing you at the end of the year and also to tell you how good the book you lent me was. Although we didn't spend a lot of time together as I grew older and moved to Penang,the times we did spend together when you came to Penang or When I went to KL I will never forget. You treated me to good food in lovely restraunts whenever you took us out,and after each treat you would remind me of the importance of studying hard and working towards my goals; and how happy you were to see me do well. The picture of me when I was two,sitting on your lap with the boys will always remind me of you, and how you loved us all so much! Take care my dearest Mama....I know you are in a better place now and that makes me smile.

Your loving Niece,
Prasana

The challenge!

Well THIS IS IT! I think I have mentioned this a few times before in the blog, and now my weight gain is bugging me! 12kg's is a LOT...and I am running out of clothes to wear! my jeans are cutting into my skin...I have only a choice of two bottoms, and not many tops...sitting too long makes it hard to breathe because my stomach is just in the way! so yeah THIS IS IT! no no not the new Micheal Jackson movie, BUT I need to do something!

thus, I am taking on a week of a controlled diet and 3 times a week of exercise and NO snacking!

I cooked up a HUMONGOUS batch of porridge full of cabbage,carrots and fat-less,skinless breast meat chicken..
that is all I am going to eat for lunch and dinner. Breakfast will be cereal OR apple and milk or something along those lines..NO MORE BREAD! NO MORE SUGAR!

If I need a snack, it will be fruit or a sugarless malt drink.

I really need to stick to this diet because my current state is absolutely unacceptable! I can blame the medications..I can blame it on a disorder(binge eating, emotional eating) BUT I am surely not going to sit around and let it work its course...I have to at least do something about it... I only have a month and a bit till I go home...clock is ticking!

DAY 1 - FAIL
Everything went smoothly, up until I couldn't resist and had a piece of lemon cake well after dinner time!

DAY 2- FAIL
Today my uncle and aunt had to entertain some friends, who had their birthdays..so we went out for Japanese food..that is not all......I had cake again!! Birthday cake this time...they insisted I take some..and I caved IN!

DAY 3- FAIL

Meltdown today :(

DAY 4- Success

Day filled with the good stuff..veggies,fruits & meat!

although was reminded today I have to be very careful that I get enough food and nutrients because no.1 not enough food and medication I am talking = nausea and no.2 not enough nutrients ie Iron, and I will be facing my anemia problems again!

DAY 5- Half & Half

Rough start and rough finish...

DAY 6 - Success

Today I Said NO to a Macdonalds supper...so happy wheeee!! on track...
