wednesday post

good afternoon, all! anyways, PIG mum dragged em to plod – oops, alma/aman is here now, so I gotta go! Time is now … 2:59pm. Well, they’re just chatting right now. Bye bye!
well, it is now good evening, as it is now 7:20pm. so, where was i?
oh. PIG mum dragged em a-walking 1340 steps today. and, concerning last night:
-just repeat everything i typed out yesterday (which, if i remember correctly, was:"just repeat everything i typed out on thursday' :P)
so, i would start on the day's spotty points :P but since it's new years eve, i'm using the excuse that it's an 'event' and grabbing the chance to type it all out in full! :P so, here we go!
PIG mum let me go once in the pot this morning. there really shouldn't be any surprise that she forced me to un and re-dak myself as well. so i snored happily away, one arm over my beloved bear, and one arm over my chilli sausage. shh, but i think my daddy bear's starting to get jealous. :P so i heard dr. lee come and go with my christmas present (1. i gotta remember to email him a thankyou, merry christmas, and happy new year card; and 2. if i get the chance tonight, i must pop onto my LJ to write on what i got for xmas!) and i also heard aunty anne pop in for a visit. but i snored till 11:55am, b4 deciding that it wouldn't really do to sleep past midday on the last day of the year! and called for PIG mum, who came, let me go in the pot :p once, then got me kitted for the day. but again, i forgot what she helped me with and what she forced me to do, although i'm fairly certain that there was a bit of both. anyways, at the end, PIG mum clipped the pedometer to me, then happily Forced me to walk out to the gobbling table. :P there, i spat out my mouth splint, drank the required glass of water, and washed and dried my hands. brunch for me today was last night's leftovers, ie. lotsa wombok and beef. it goes without saying that PIG mum forced my left hand to hang onto the bowl while i ate. i washed it down with a plain glass of milk. well, it was either that, or a glass of chocolate nesquik. after brunch, i read my janny wurts novel for awhile, as PIG mum went to flip the aircon on in my room, coz i told her i wanted to hike up there once to bid all my stuff a happy new year. so she dragged me up the stairs - i think there's approx 17 steps total - and i flopped on my bed as PIG mum kindly brought up my beloved bear bear and daddy bear. but daddy bear, the insolent thing, said he didn't likemy room colour! apparently, he prefers the room to be more HIS colour, a bronzey brown sort of colour. huh, the nerve! :P so PIG mum kindly let me have a lounge up there as she went about doing some housework. she also handed me the lovely red photo album the kawashoos had made me when i went to japan in 2003. which reminds me, if i have the chance to toms, i want to write them a letter! :P i doubt if they remember me, really. :Panyways, while i was up there, dearest dad came home briefly to microwave his lunch b4 rocking off to work again. but apparently, it's ridiculously hot outside today, so i hope he's keeping well hydrated! anyways, i needed to pee, so PIG mum dragged me to the loo and to wash my hands, b4 i FELL down the stairs into a heap. :p no, seriously, i WALKED. sheesh! :p anyways, PIG mum then forced me to do like 20mins of OT hand exercises, b4 she allowed me to pop online and await alma's arrival, mega-early, at 2:45pm. then she rocked off to pay for my new glasses - honestly, i'm starting to wonder if they'll arrive b4 my BDAY. :P alma gave me a shower first - TWO hairwashes today! apparently,the first time didn't get eid of all the dandruff, so she went a-scrubbing again.
sorry, dad's summoning me to tea - so i'll be back later, ok? time is now ... 8:01pm.
*burp* it's 8:18pm now, and dinner tonight: rice, loads of wombok, and 2 pieces of ham. and 2 tiny pieces of mushroom, too! i admit, at first, i told dad, 'eww, dad! why are there BUGS in my rice?!" lol :P anyways, uncle toby just rang! turns out PIG mum WAS awake after all - she answered it too! i grabbed the phone to wish him, aunty tammy and lorraine a great 2009, and told uncle toby that i'd just practised the 'grabbing watermelon' technique only today! lol, just don't ask how long i HAVEN'T practised it :P *innocent look* :P actually, i better remember to send them a e-card after i finish typing out this post!oh, and thanks to PIG mum who kindly poured me a yummy, if unfortunately HEAVILY watered-down pear juice. anyways, where was i?
hehe - i just went over to the TV; PIG mum and dear dad are watching the telly for the early fireworks, but there's none! o_O oh well, i guess we've already missed it. so, back to my day:
alma took me to the loo after my shower, where i delivered a stinky unspeakable :P so much thanks to her who helped me wipe. then i got redressed and swapped back to sparky. i tootled over for some arvo tea: a toasted cheese, ham and mayo sandwhich, cut into 4 squares. too bad, there was only 1 slice of cheese, meaning that it was ENTIRELY too thin for my tastes, but oh well. i'll take it when i can get it. oh, and a yummy cup of tetley's british blend, sweetened with a single spoonful of honey. then i read for awhile, b4 alma gave my left hand/arm a massage and grabbed me on my second lot of 20 mins worth of hand exercises. at just b4 6pm, i flicked off the aircon and alma cut me up a pear, of which i shared a slice with her, of course. cool - dear dad's told me that the early fireworks are at 9pm, which is in 10mins time, so will tootle over soon to wait for them. so, we went for 7's 6pm news at 6pm, first watching some lucky person win a ridiculously large amount of money on deal or no deal. anyways, news was read out by patrick condren and talitha cummins, sport by ben davis. sorry, i've forgotten who did the weather or what the temperature will be toms, but i remember that it's going to be stormy. ok, me going for the early fireworks now - time is now ... 8:54pm
*bang!* time is now 9:12pm, and the early fireworks were great! actually, aunty no. 4 rang us, which gave me the opportunity to thank her for the cool xmas card my cousin's sent us, and to wish them all a great new year!now, returning to where i was ... once the news was over, alma stuck my socks, shoes and splint on, and took me to the loo once. lol, dad and PIG mum are having their dinner now, at like a quarter past 9! lol... oh yeah, i wanna ring my beloved grandma now. laters!lol, not quite yet - 4th aunty's just rang to get PIG mum's email addy off her. argh, but my left calf is itching dreadfully! and i can't reach it coz my splint is blocking my way. phew. much thanks to PIG mum who's taken it all off so i can give it a scratch. she's slapped some cream on, too. ok, so where was i ...? oh. i signed her off, we said our thanks and byes, and i tootled online briefly until dad called dinner, which i've already mentioned. so, 2 1/2 hrs till the new year ... i'd better reflect on the year that was:
(i'm borrowing the template i used back in 2006, BTW
uni-wise: *sigh* my 2nd year of not being back at uni. like, pole plop, janice, letty and charles have like all graduated! what can i say ... i feel useless. >< at this rate, i'll still be studying when i'm 25! >< but, must work hard on my walking, coz aunty anna (my hair snipper :P) encouraged me, saying she believed that i could return back to uni this year! i hope so too!
sporting-wise: well, seeing as i'm currently a cripple stuck to a wheelchair, my sport has been thus far limited to wii tennis. :P and wii boxing. but much thanks to aunty yvonne, who brought over a shuttle so we could have a go. i've missed it terribly! and while my poor broncos couldn't win the NRL this year - shame on you, horrile melbourne storm! and poor australia got beaten by those chicken-dancing kiwis in the rugby league world cup grand final, it was honestly very good to watch the beijing olympics on TV. go the green and gold!
politically-wise: well, i said since 2007 was 'kevin 07' 2008 should be 'i hate kevin 08' :P i wonder what next year should be?' slime kevin 09'? lol :P
spiritually-wise: in 2006, i said that it was one of the lows of my year. this year, i regret to say that it still is. i was stuck in hospital till the end of may, when i first arrived home i thanked god coz i was so grateful to be back after 1 year, 3 months and 20 days. but it took a week or so for the anger to settle in. what did i do to piss off god so much that he smote me down with a brain tumour? it's why, to this day, i still pray to percy the angel/percy the saint. sometimes i pray to them both at the same time, but like i've explained in my prayers, while i have the confidence to pray to percy the angel/saint by himself, i totally lack the confidence to pray to just god. i admit, sometimes i also sing a nasty song to god. well, not sometimes, i guess. everynight.
work-wise: *sigh* me an invalid with a dead left arm and an inability to walk? me no work.
relationship-wise: well, i'm still happy/proud to report that i'm still as close to my friends and parents as ever. when i got out of hospital, my dad would often tirade at me, ranting that i'd be separated and not allowed to live with my parents. because of that, i came up with a list of things i'd do to return to them if i was ever separated from them. PIG mum recently PROMISED me that we'd NEVER be separated, so i think i will just type it out once more than forget about it. if the need ever arises, i can just remind them to read my blog, post dated 31st dec, 2008:
If i am separated from my parents, i will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING i need to get back to them, this i so SWEAR, god and percy the angel/saint.
1. if i can walk back to them, effing fantastic. i will run back to them as fast as i am able, regardless of cuts, scrapes, bruises, insect bites and sunburn. if i can't walk, that's ok. i guess i'll just have to crawl. that's ok. it'll just take longer, that's all.
2. if i can do everything legally, that's obviously the best way to do it. but if i have to do stuff illegally in order to get back to my parents, that is exactly what i will do. i will pray to percy the angel/saint first and say sorry, then i will go right ahead and do it. i promise not to get caught, and i also promise not to commit murder unless there is absolutely no option left available to me.
3. if i have to sell my body, what can i say? i'll get used to it after awhile. but even if i have to sell my SOUL, it is a price i am willing to pay if it will get me back to my parents.
4. if my parents move overseas to get away from me, i'll stow away on a plane and fly back o them. if i can't do that, i'll stow away on a boat and float back to them. if i still ca't do that, at the very end, i guess i'll just have to take a big bottle of water and a big bottle of sunscreen, take myself to the nearest beachj, and SWIM myself back to my parents. i will eat raw seafood and seaweed to survive.
5. if a shark/whale gobbles me up, i promise to be swallowed alive and whole and not get bitten to death. then i'll fight my way out.either i get thrown up out or pooed out, i don't really care which.
6. finally, if it takes me a week to get back to them, fantastic! if it takes me a month, that's ok. if it takes me a year, i'll work hard. but even if it takes me TEN YEARS i promise to keep at it, saying, "i MUST get back to my parents. i WILL get back to my parents."
anything else-wise: umm ... well, i've found out that i've got an entire HEADFUL of dandruff? :P umm ... i also think PIG mum mentioned sth about hauling me back up to my bed to sleep tonight. if she does, golly gosh! i've MISSED my room!
the year that is to come in around half an hour, give or take:
haha, here come the new year's resolutions!
-i want to get back to uni this year. i mean, i've already missed 2yrs! ><
-i want to work things out with god. right now, at this rate, i won't be praying to him again until june.
-most importantly: I NEED TO WALK AGAIN!!!!!!!!! i mean, my parents have explained to me that you can't fit a wheelchair in HK, it's too squishy. and next dec, will be my grandma's NINETIETH (yup, 90th) bday. so i HAVE to be back on my feet in order for that to happen!
so, that sums up my year. since it's a wednesday, i'm going to beg mum for a BIG :p bowl of icecream, then i will SHRIEK :P dad out of his slumber and get him to come down watch the fireworks with us. and then, i'll hit the sack :Pgood night, all! wishing you all a FANTASTIC 2009!
cheers,
em. ^^
