We (Mum, Sis, Bro, Ah Zhong & nephew) were all prepared to drive up to Klang after dinner tomorrow to visit Mum hometown (Its a yearly thing). Bro volunteeredd to pick up the rented car this morning. Jessie will be picked up by the Pet Hotel tomorrow morning.

It was about lunch time when Bro called and informed that he has picked up the car but he is on his way to Tan Tock Seng as he recieved a call from the stall aunty saying Dad fainted at the stall and was sent to the hospital by the ambulance.

I panicked... remembering seeing him rubbing his tummy this morning when i was opening the gate to go work, he smile and reply he has diahorroea. Told him to see a doctor later on and off i went to work. Bro drove me in Dad's car as i was late...

Lunch was miserable, kept calling home but no one picks up the calls. And when Sis called to says that the doctor informed that Dad has a bad stroke, my heart sunk!!! We were asked to make decision on whether to authorise the 'booster' jab while successful will add 15 - 30% of chance to clear the blockage but risking internal bleeding which is undesirable. We agree to go ahead as we believe Dad will want to gamble on even the sligest percentage!

It has been 9 days... Waking up early to run Dad stall and return home late, visiting him twice daily, fetching Mum to the hospital... seeing him totally concious and desperate to talk and move his limbs, trying hard to understand the sound he made, seeing him in a sunken state, tolerating the lack of nurses and hospitality towards taking care of Dad... Tears just well up whenever i thought of it!

PHEW!!! That rented car was a blessing... Thanks to P4 for getting it at a cheap rate for me during CNY period.

Dad condition is stable, the come and go fever has subsided and got transferred to the rehabitation center yesterday. He has to start building up his lost strenght fast and speech and the 1st month is crucial.

With Sis & Bro running the stall now, Mum looking after the nephew and me working... WE NEED A CARETAKER!!!!

The few person that came to my mind instantly was Zeon, Rachel, Larry and Ashley! These are among the few friends whom i know will take on my problem whenever i voice out to them to recommend some maid agencies. I dont have time to do my own searching online as i was totally occupied and does not have internet access during the whole week driving up and down...

Been to a maid agency at Adelphi yesterday but the 2 'transit' maid didnt meet the family needs or i should say... 有一好没两. Those that speaks English although strong, looks like 'party' queen. Those that looks suitable doesnt speak English... although my Mum does speaks English and i do speak limited Malay... I still think i should go another agency before deciding! It was the 1st time the whole family agree in having a maid! In the past, we never wanted to have one in respect to family privacy.

Friends had been rather concern but it comes along with crude jokes in between when they dont understand why i didnt went to M'sia and after knowing - biting their own tongue (All Guys and not surprising to know)... the repetition of asking about my Dad condition and progress... I can only look and them and say... Like a typical stroke patient you see!

Went to work today... processing each paper work was SLOW, ignoring all phone calls! Jumping to reach my handphone whenever it rangs... KNN is the best word to express my day at work today and cursing and swearing softly at each mistake i made!!!

Thinking back... i would had break down if it wasnt that usual strong will power which helps to keeps me going...

Looking forward to see Dad walk, move his hands and talk again!

Have a speedy recovery...

God Bless!!!
