Yeah, after 5 months of memory lost , my sister is getting better but still a stranger to me and is still unable to speak. Yesterday, I took her to a massage and she looks dull and unnoticed during the trip there and I was alone with her and her nurse in the Uber while the daughter was vacationing in Langkawi.
I sat close to her and hold her lovingly and make sure she look out of the window. She has no re-action except staring in the far distance. I kept talking to her and kiss her on the cheek on and off to tell her that I loved her very much. No re-actions .
At the massage centre, the people help us to carry her to the room for the massage and during the massaging process, she felt pain and make her face . She looks relax despite the pain. After the massage, she was seating on the wheel chair while waiting for the Uber to pick us up.. Suddenly, I saw her staring at me and she gave me a smile.. I felt so light hearted , so happy as if she recognized me and give me a smile. Her stare at me lasted a a few minutes and her smile was so warm. For a moment, I thought we were in touch.
In the car home, she sat relax and fold her leg , the usual way she sat when she was conscious. Her old habit is coming back and I hope her memory also come back slowly.. Suddenly , I felt nothing is more important than to live. Nothing matters as along as we are living healthy and meaningfully.. We take our time for granted and thinking that we live forever is an illusion. We better to come out of it and start to live because there is a limitation to time. We cannot live forever and we better wake up and be aware of this point.
Yes, nothing can buy time. Not even the billions that we have and when our time is up , it is up . period.
Namaste.

To catch a monkey
How true ? It is our monkey brain which triggers a lot of mischievous thinking and action . I just saw a video of how to catch a monkey and it really opens up my mind. Everything is greed.
In order to catch a monkey in a traditional way is to drill a hole in a coconut so that the monkey can put his palm or hand into the coconut . It must be smaller than the size of the fist of the monkey and tie the coconut to a tree and put a banana or fruit in the coconut. When the monkey put his hand into the coconut and grap the fruit , his hand cannot come out of the hole in the coconut and you make it panic and the more panic , the monkey the harder they will hold on the fruit and get stuck in the coconut and you have caught a monkey.
To look at it on the wisdom side, it is like us holding on to our thoughts , our happiness , our money or our anger or negative thoughts about people. We forget to let go and kept holding on to our thoughts and gets stuck in it. We become uncontrollable as our anger , our thoughts or our greed drive us on and the harder we hold on it. There goes our happiness and freedom from our emotions.
It is so easy to let go and we will be happy always and in a similar example, is that we pick up a stick on our journey through life and we grip on to the stick and we pick up more sticks forgetting to release the sticks that we pick up. We ended up with more and more sticks and getting more and more heavier as we go on our trip through life. Why ? Why can't we let go the sticks and travel light and easy and happily. It is all up to us to let go . It is within us to let go but yet , we don't know or refused to let go and suffer all the weights and unhappiness in our journey..
Just drop everything and let go.. there are so many things to do rather than to hold on.
Namaste.

In the name of our father & mother....
This is not a oath in the calling of the Father ( God) or Mother ( Mary) , it is actually the name of our parents. I have encountered a problem which many Malaysians could have encountered and it is so frustrating . What the &&^%$ is going on ? Those stupid translators...
I am applying for a maid to take care of my bedridden sister and my application to the immigration dept was rejected. Why ?? I have to prove that my sister is really my sister and this is of course an easy task but it was not.. The spelling of my father's and mother's name was different in my birth certificate from my sister's. How can we proved that my sister is really my sister ? The frustrating thing is that it was different by one or two alphabets ie Teng or Theng or kuo or ko or ku or so and soo and the IC dept refused to issue an amendment. I have to call on the certificate of my brother and sisters and it was found that my parents' name was also different from all of them. This means my family is not related at all .
Haiyoo, this could post a problem and it is so difficult to convince the IC office to accept your explanation. Those old silly translators of the past have created this problem as each translator have their own spelling methods. They are gone but their past action give the present Malaysian a big problem. Just imagine , a person die without a will , his or her properties and assets will supposedly transfer to their family members like brother , sister , son or daughter but the person's name is spelled slightly wrong on his or her own birth certificates and in the certificates of his or her family members, they will not be related until the cows come home. The assets and properties will flow on to no man's land. What a waste and sorrowful ? Hence, this is an advise to my reader to be careful of these small errors in all the important documents to avoid a potential disaster.

When things cannot be changed ....
It is funny why our mind worries over many things and every things.. Actually, it is a wastage of energy and time. If things have happen and we cannot change it or do something about it, then let it be and just follow it through.. Worrying over these issues is useless and wasting our precious time which is so limited and valuable.
For instance, our money is lost and we cannot find it. Of course ,we feel upset and try to look hard for it. But, if it is lost forever , let it go and take actions to re-look at our finance and live within our means. If worrying can make the money to come back, then by all means we can continued to worry. If you under the logic and accept the facts, why do you need to worry.. Isn't it an absolute wasteful and meaningless.
But worrying comes naturally and you feel good about worrying. It keeps you in the moment of hope and what if ? If I have done something , then this would not happen. The hope of doing something to untie the problem , gives a false impression that if it had happen, everything would be alright. We make our self believe and this gives us hope.
It is nonsensical and foolish. Our mind is illusional and foolish.. We still keep our hope high when there is no more possibility. We are living in a dream and illusion , the existence of magic to turn the worst situation into good.. It is just foolhardy.
Namaste.

Ginger power
The use of ginger for its medical benefits have gone a long way in the Chinese herbal treatments and it has the ability to improve the immune system and also get the " wind" out of our body. These are only some of the benefits of ginger.
Recently, my daughter , May introduced to me a concentrated ginger lotion made into a pad for my tired eyes. It was very cooling and relax and my eyes was doing better and not so tired after two weeks of treatment. I have been using it until I have done my cataract operation. After that, I shall continued to use it for the treatment of my tired eyes.
I have also been using the ginger hair wash for a few months now and previously , I was using a French product for my hair wash.. I have been feeling that my hair became more full and healthy . I want o share this experience with my readers.
Will give more information later.

My cataract operation
What is a cataract ? My simple answer is a growth on top of our eyeballs which could obstruct or impact the sight from our eyes . At a pre-mature stage, it is only some blur vision but if the growth matures and growth into the sight of the eye , you could see only a bright bland and this could be very disturbing to you as your eye sight gets blur or blind to the views outside.
It can be very scary as our world will turn upside down as we lost the sight of our eyes. At this stage , we have to go for an operation to remove the cataract. It is a simple operation but it it is very expensive. I think the eye doctors are one of the most well paid profession in the world.
The operation begins with the chemical drop to dilate the eye after the necessary measuring of the visions to the eyes ie the power, the nerves, the blood pressure, the sugar level and the oxygen rate of the heart. These are the necessary steps to ensure that the operation is accident free.
After all the preparatory work, the Doctor will start the operation by having an open wound on the eye to extract the cataract from the eyes. It is a simple procedure but the pressure and discomfort is enormous when the eye is put under pressure. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to do this procedure and after that , you will have to go through several test to see that the eye is okay or not. When you open our eyes, the whole vision lights up like a thousand light bulbs and so bright while the old eye is which has not been operated will remained yellow and dull or blur. So, one eye is bright and another un-operated eye will be yellow color in the vision. It is not preferably to operate on the two eyes together as they could run the risk of infection and if this happen that we cannot see and will become blind until it is properly cured.
The follow up is quite a lot, with the medical drops which could be used for one week to a period of one month. It is quite and clumsy procedure and the medical drops have to be done at regular timing to avoid any infection of the operated eye.
It is quite costly and it is about RM10K for one eye but it can be covered under insurance.
It is a lesson for the young to follow the advise to wear sun=glass in the board day lights to avoid damaging the eyes.
Namaste.

Life at the cross roads
I have a friend who have the problem of the " heart" and she told me that she is at a cross road and I told her this advise. Life is a journey and not a destination and if we find our self on the wrong road or wrong path, we can reverse or choose another road to travel. Every day is a new day , a new beginning . In life , there are many cross roads and we will have decide by our self what to do next..
Our life all depends on our self to decide and don't blame on GOD or your destiny . Your destiny is make up of all your own decisions. It is too easy to blame GOD for all the problems you faced as it makes up of all your decisions at the cross roads.
Nothing is destined as each steps we walk move our life forward in our own journey and our journey makes up of millions of steps . Each step needs your decision and so consciously or un consciously , you decide your destiny. There is no two ways about it. You can play the blame game but finally, it is your life. So , be aware of each step as it will make up your whole journey.
People like to go into a routine as they feel the comfort within the routine and there is no much things happen and this is not living per se. We have to find new grounds and do new things . Express what you like and don't like and do the things that we want to do before your life expiry.
Live and really live and not live for the sake of living.
Stand up and be heard.
Namaste.
