Being a fan of Starbucks I like to go to the one at the New Wing. Its nicer.
Kervin,there’s only one MPH at the new wing now. They closed the one at the old wing and moved everything to the new wing recently.

Dave,
No fixed agenda. Let’s play it by ear. And now that reminds me that I have missed last week’s Mass. Is there any church near Pandan Perdana?
Mystic,
Any excuse just to go shopping huh? See you Sunday.
January 13th, 2005 at 21:56

There’s a catholic church in Cheras–shame on me to forget the name…hehe But I go to Saint Francis Xavier at Jalan Gasing. On shopping, yes, any excuse…hahha…needed to get some stuff for my new condo anyways….:)

Mystic,
I have heard so much about SFX. I must see for myself and get the SFX experience one of these days. What are the times for the English Mass for Saturdays and Sundays?
Moving into a new place is always nice if not for the carrying and arranging that needs to be done to make it homey. Have fun.
January 13th, 2005 at 23:48
Peter,
I like SFX. Have been going there for a long time already. The mass times are as follows:
Sat-615am & 630pm
Sun- 645am,845am,1130am & 530pm.
You bet, I am enjoying the experience of doing up my place. Moved in on Christmas Day!

January 14th, 2005 at 22:49
Prema,
Hairy is a riot huh.
January 15th, 2005 at 20:19
hey so are you
you’re so polite n nice in your comments, it’s like a change to see you talk in slang -heh. but hey, see you tomorrow!
January 16th, 2005 at 01:00
i know who is hairy but of course i shan’t tell… excpet that hairy is already a blogger.
peter, you must remember to take lots of photos of the bloggers you meet, post them up and name each of them! and if possible sunday night itself!
January 16th, 2005 at 10:53
Peter,
Hope you had a great time at One Utama this morning. Sorry I couldn’t make it.
Yesterday’s trip to the hospital with my elderly mum for an MRI threw the weekend’s schedule as well as next week’s completely out of whack.
January 16th, 2005 at 11:42
another cancellation last minute
i’m still stuck at home. the ride i thought i would get didnt come through, and now i’m looking for cab #s, but i dont know if i’m going to get there *sigh*
hope you’re having a good time though!
January 16th, 2005 at 17:33
y la no one check my knees today? ;’(!
January 17th, 2005 at 07:27
Prema,
There is always a next time. Yes, we did have a good time. Yes, Hairy Knee was there too with her quirky lingo.
Lucia,
The photos will be put up when I get back to Penang. It is such a hassle resizing and uploading them here.
Arusa,
I hope it was nothing serious with your mum. I will pray for her.
Hairy,
To ask you to show us your knees would be asking you to remove your jeans in public. How can like that? You do not look that hairy anyway or perhaps you are just hirsute on those two spots?
January 17th, 2005 at 08:18
kihkihkih. jk oni la.
January 17th, 2005 at 08:20
(my knees are really glam, btw :P)
January 17th, 2005 at 08:21
Peter,
Many thanks for the kind thoughts.
Strictly speaking, it’s nothing life-threatening.
Just the usual back ailments that come with age. How the lady managed to break a rib and fracture a few of her spinal bones, is a complete mystery to us all. She can’t even recall having fallen in the last 12 monbths. I suppose that’s how brittle bones get from osteo, and how quickly memory flees from age.
But it’s nothing that a skilled osteo surgeon with super-stable hands and a sharp-eyed, sharp-minded radiographer together, can’t fix with a needle and cement. That’s the relatively easy part.
The hard part is to limit her activities and to ensure she is more ’sedate’ in her movements from now on… no more gallivanting helter-skelter.
Now, how do you ‘ground’ a feisty 70-year old who still thrives on bossing others around and ordering their lives? How to tell a parent she is no longer in charge but has to be taken care of like a child?
Short of strait-jacketing her?
*LOL* my siblings and I have some very interesting days ahead of us, indeed. Your prayers will certainly be most appreciated!!
January 17th, 2005 at 09:13
come, come, peter! quick, quick! update us with the meet. i’m dying to know who turned up (also to see their faces) and how it went. with hairy around, i bet it went very well.
January 17th, 2005 at 09:19
Arusa,
After seeing the pain my mother went through before her laminectomy and the extreme pain when that part of her spine collapsed after having taken too much steroid that was prescribed for her leukemia, I am all for post-menopausal women going for regular check-ups to determine the risks of getting osteoporosis and take remedial actions irrespective of whether they feel or look healthy or not. I pray that your mum will recover fast. I am always very concerned with broken bones in the aged because it takes a long time to heal. Keeping them too sedentary while they are recuperating is another concern as muscles tend to atrophy faster too. Hope I am not scaring you. Take good care of your mum. She deserves all the love you can shower on her.
January 17th, 2005 at 11:51
Thanks, Peter, for your caution on being too sedentary.
Her gallivanting has been reduced to a twice-daily, 30-minute, lady-like amble outdoors, very much to her disgust.
January 17th, 2005 at 15:10
Arusa,
I can understand her emotions perfectly. When one has been moving around doing work every day and suddenly has to stop doing all those, it is like losing something very vital. I guess she just has to bear with it until all the fractures are totally healed.
