Month: June 2001

I had a chance to speak with the stethoscope man about the condition of my Grandpa and he told me that the growth in his tummy can become cancerous if not taken out. So next week the frail aged man would have to go thru an operation to extract the undesirables. But because of his age and the fact that he has not been very healthy lately, the operation might lead to complications such as heart attacks, kidney failure, bladder problems, etc. This sucks, my Grandpa deserves better.

My Grandpa is in the hospital for quite a few days now. After his mild stroke in 1999, he have been having problems walking and all this while the once healthy and independent man became bed-ridden and treated like a patient who’s diet is very redundantly control by his ever naggy spouse. A recent check showed some growth in his stomach and news like that can never be good. I don’t know of the details, but the thought is enough to send me thinking of what i should do as a grandson, what should i say, what can i do?

My Grandpa is a reserved man, a man with integrity and a person who tries to enjoy the simpler things in life. Although there were times in my childhood where he used to chase my cousins and I with a wet towel and lashing it at us as if we were slaves that did some grave mistake while not knowing what it was, but still, I have great respect for my Grandpa. He is the one person I think I understand best in the family and yet he is also the one I have least dialogues with. All I can ask is for him to stay strong and for God to watch over him.

Tommorow I will be going to visit him in the hospital, hopefully it will not be wierd and that he can feel the love and respect that exists in a non-verbal way.

Pearl‘s sister Sharon and her husband have just done up their new home. It is absolutely fantastic, very morden with Stainless Steel, Wood and Glass. I can’t wait to give Pearl a place of her own too. hmm…. i can’t wait to start getting income again.

Too bad the timing for the 2001 Philips Xrage clashes with my just-reach-singapore-and-need-to-do-stuff, hence i managed to only get to the final bits only. *sob* Anyway here are some pictures that i took at the closing of the event.

Day flights are so much better, cuz can get to see the landscape during take-off and landing.On the plane, i got a chance to catch AntiTrust. I would say its a real techy kinda film, cuz if you have a passion for Open Source software and believe that knowledge should be shared and not owned, you better go catch the film.
