2007-12-10 03:16:00 Thank you friends for all supports and prayers for Wan. He is cured and healthy as before now! It's great to know that God still gives him another chance to live and have both of his leg normally.I meet Yah last week as well, sorry for late update... she is getting better as well. She still needs our prayer supports as she has to take some treatment but I think she is so much better! Her daughter needs a new glasses but they don't have enough money to buy one. She used her old glasses that actually has not fit to her face anymore. It was glasses when she was at elementary school and now she is in high school! A few months ago my hubby changed his glasses and we offered her my hubby's previous the glasses' frame. She was happy to receive it. We hope she still can use the lens from her old glasses and use this frame. I will call her to make sure about this. More About: News , Good News , Good
Blanket oh Blanket...
2007-12-10 00:43:00 Do you prefer bed queen size or bed king size? My own bed is 1.80 m x 2 m while my parent's bed is 1.60 m x 2 m, my auntie's and my sister's are 2 m x 2m, how about yours? Do you like narrower bed so you can sleep very close to your spouse? Do you sleep together in one blanket? Hehehehe... or you choose 2 m x 2 m size so both of you are free to explore while you are sleeping? hahaha...Speaking about blanket, we have our own blankets. When we first married, we thought husband and wife should use one blanket together just like at movies... LOL but then we always played tug-o-war with the blanket while we were sleeping... hahahaha... we all can guess who's the winner... hahahaha... in a few days the second blanket has already in our bed.. hehehe..I love a warm and cozy living room with leather reclined sofa. We don't have it now but I think we can manage our budget to buy one if my Big Daddy allows us to have a new dream house someday! More About: Blanket

Yes 14 hours of pains!Clay was 3.5 kg 52 cm and Clifford was 3.82 kg 54 cm when they were born. Such a big babies, indeed.In Chinese tradition we always gave 'ManYe' or gift to our friends and family who has visited our babies, 30 or 40 days after the babies were born. We usually send a cake with two red eggs on it as a symbol that our baby is a month old already. With these cakes and red eggs we usually attach photo birth announcements, with the babies name on it.

Know better about Prostate Cancer
2007-10-29 02:00:00 This October many blogs have turned to PINK as solidarity to spread Breast Cancer Awareness. I think I have to be cautious about this cancer issue as my dad passed away because of lung and liver cancer. If we have a cancer history in our family, we surely have to be very cautious because it is so possible the cancer cell is already in our body.Prost ate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in men between ages 60 and 80 and is one of the most cause of male cancer deaths. Before the introduction of the PSA (prostate specific antigen) test 75% of prostate cancer patients were diagnosed in the later, incurable stages, now only about 25% of newly diagnosed cases are advanced cancer.Unfortunately, in early stage, this cancer generally shows no symptoms at all.

2007-10-02 07:34:00 Hope you still remember my post about Yah and Wan and still pray for them. To be honest I once feel they are getting better and nothing serious anymore, but last night my hubby brought a horrible news about Wan. I will share it after Yah's update.Yah will see the doctor again on Oct 10th, 2007. I tried to call her several times before but no one picked up the phone. Just now I call her again and talked to her hubby. He said Yah still coughs often and loose her weight significantly. They have to spend more than 300,000 rupiahs or 33 USD for one time doctor visit and a month medicines. May be it's so cheap for you but for them, 8.3 USD for a doctor is quite a burden. I asked them to bring her every 2 weeks to the doctor but the doctor's fee is expensive. Yah has to have 8 months treatment to get well again, so I think it's ok to meet the doctor once a month as this is a long term treatment. I just make sure that she bought all the medicines and took them regularly.Wan is still ho... More About: News , Good News , Good , T A G
Dry vs Humid
More articles from this author:2007-10-01 12:00:00 Clay and Cliff get cold again today... they started to cough... *sigh* They both have allergies to dust and weather. In Indonesia it's an alteration from dry to rainy season. It is so hot at noon, windy at the afternoon and really cold and windy at night.Some people advise us to get a dehumidifier at home. According to Wikipedia, mechanical/refrigerative dehumidifiers usually work by drawing moist air over a refrigerated coil with a small fan. Since the saturation vapor pressure of water decreases with decreasing temperature, the water in the air condenses, and drips into a collecting bucket. The air is then reheated by the warmer side of the refrigeration coil.By using dehumidifier we can have many advantages, including: Dust mite which cause problems for allergy sufferers will be decreased in populations.If your wall's paint blisters and the wallpapers are peeled, your wood doors are stick and many metal items easily get rusty, it indicates the air in your house is very humid. ... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
