Now that my surgery date is finalized, me and Azwaj have a much clearer picture of when we can plan our vacation. It will definitely be sooner then later and I can’t wait.
Although some sort of Portugal holidays would be nice, this time around however, it’s more about the room or suite than anything else. I mean who wouldn’t enjoy a Portugal holiday with the wonderful weather, golden sand beaches, the luxurious hotel at economical prices and tourist attraction but since we would have already spent a bundle on my surgery, we wanted to keep this vacation local. Portugal would have to wait till another day 🙂
Having said that, we still want a local hotel that meet our wishlist. What’s our wishlist? Well we want a beautiful room for one as we also plan to take lots of pictures. We want a bathtub or a Jacuzzi if possible and on top of everything else, we want a private pool. Unfortunately since the pool is not the heated kind (at least we don’t think so), we plan to go during a hot season so we can totally enjoy the pool. I mean one can’t expect to be able to swim too much if the water is too cold right?
Anyway, check out this beautiful hotel in Portugal. I hope the local hotel that we’ve chosen will be as nice!

In the meantime, I am also checking out african mango plus which according to the review that I am reading, will enhances the effects of what you are already doing by suppressing appetite and increasing metabolism hence burning more calories in the process. Hmm.. very interesting right?

Time for a personality quiz people and according to the vase that I picked, I am apparently a Rebellious being.. lol! Check it out!
You Are Rebellious |
 You make seem sweet at first glance, but appearances can be deceiving.You are a total rebel who likes to do things your own way. You’re really quite subversive.You can get what you want through charm and grace. When people are around you, they don’t know what hit them.You tend to have a pretty big agenda, but you hold your cards close to your chest. |
Apparently Azwaj concurs with this result. hahahah.. It seems he didn’t know what hit him when I came into his life.

I love shopping for new clothes especially if there is some sort of sales event going on. I mean the quality of the clothes are the same but at cut down prices. What’s not to love right? I recently discovered some fantastic looking womens dresses from Newport News. If case you don’t know, for over 30 years, Newport News have given women the opportunity to shop the latest in online fashion at fantastic offers. They provide high quality, on trend design that lets women express their personal style in their own unique way.
Let me show you some of my fav pieces.
Description: Oversized cotton tee with pretty embroidered lace cuffs and inset at the deep V-neck. Decorative pearlized buttons run down the front.
Can you believe this lovely Layered-Look Lace-Trim Tunic Tee is only USD14! It was USD49 but now have been slashed down. Like I said, same quality, more economical price.
At USD10.00 (previously USD59.oo), what is not to love about this geogeous Faux-suede 4″ covered heels.
Looking for some super awesome looking swimsuit for the summer? Check this out.. and yes your eyes are not deceiving you. They are really at USD5 a piece! lol!
Newport News Fashion. Simply Awesome!

I was in the pink of health when I was in Singapore on Sunday and Monday but the moment I came back home, I started sniffling and the next day it bloomed into blocked nose and a very painful throat. It hasn’t graduated to a full fledged flu yet and I am hoping it won’t so I have been dosing myself with Vitamin C supplementsand taking lots of fluid to counter the flu bug.
In the meantime, can you believe that I now carry a roll of tissue in my handbag simply because the soft tissue simply is not sufficient for the moment. Am thinking of wearing a roll like a hat like the picture here.. lol!

I’m back from Singapore. Fast eh? Anyway I returned to a house full of testors paint smell coz apparently Azwaj was trying to cover up some minor crack in the car. Anyway..
My trip to Singapore went smoothly even though I traveled on Sunday (a pleasant surprise indeed). I arrived in one piece at around 9pm.
I didn’t receive any calls from the hospital with my CT scan results the week before so I really didn’t know what to expect but I was hoping for all good results. Unfortunately during the appointment, my doctor told me that although the CT scan didn’t find anything abnormal, he still couldn’t rule out ovarian cancer for now. He told me that he can only confirm cancer or otherwise once he has access that “solid” mass during the surgery. So basically he would proceed with the keyhole surgery, take out the mass, send it to the labs while I am still under and find out. If it is negative, he would close me up and that will be the end of the surgery. If, however, it is positive, then he would take the necessary action to remove the cancer cells.
He also told me that since I have had repeat surgery on the same spot, the risk is also greater as adhesion might have occurred and depending on the severity of the adhesion, open surgery might be needed instead.
So my surgery is now confirmed for 15 May 2012 while the pre-ops is going to be done on 2nd May, two weeks before the surgery. What fun!

I panicked for sure and started to check for flights into Singapore instead. Again all the early morning flights were booked leaving only the much later flights. How I wished I was I was looking for australia flights instead of Singapore ones since that flight had plenty of seats…lol!
Anyway, I decided to call up the booth to check again on seats availability and was told that they indeed had some seats available on the 2.30pm coach but I got to hurry as it was first come first serve basis and there is no way I could make a booking via phone. Apparently some travel agent had just released the seats so it didn’t show up on the internet booking site.
So, YES. I got my coach tickets, my overnight bag is packed and I’m ready to face my doctor on Monday!

So, so in order to reduce this dependency, I know I got to cut down my coffee intake. Now I take like only two cups in a day instead of making it my staple drink. I still experience headache sometimes and when that happens (like today) I make another cup of coffee or I go to bed… yeap am sleeping a lot these day.. lol!
Cheerio…
However I do need a blanket. It is an absolute must if the the weather is cold but even if the weather is hot, I still need my blanket to sleep under. I reckon it just makes me feel “tucked in”.. lol! I found some cute blankets over at http://www.redenvelope.com/kids-blankets-RKDSB and I’m wondering if I should get for myself.. heheh.. they look so plush and comfy right?

Each time I go back to Singapore and make full use of my laptop, Miss Fly, she always dies on me after about 4hours use. I am not sure if it’s because her time is nearly up or if it’s just the the laptop cooler that I’m using that is not working. She doesn’t behave like that when I’m using her at home in KL.
Whatever it is, I am on the lookout for best buy laptops. I’ve been actively looking at the laptop specs and have narrow down to two that I really like. Now I just need to run them past Azwaj to see what he thinks.
New gadget for me.. Yeay!

So despite the initial hiccup of my CT scan appointment and the feeling of needing to hit my doctor with an angle iron, the CT scan itself went smoothly without any hitches last Thursday, 29th March 2012.
I arrived on time and it was nice to see the nurse remembered me from the day before. She greeted me, went through the same checklist that I had the day before and proceeded to prepare me the procedure. I was given four glasses of plain water to drink within a hour. They also put in an IV needle on my left hand. This will be used for the contrast dye.
It was something like this
At the end of the fourth drink, the nurse called me into the CT scan room. It was scary to see the huge machine but it was not like those tunnel things that I expected. Instead it was like one of those “Stargate” or something like a vertical buoy. I was asked to lie down on a platform attached to the machine. The nurse explained what will happened and that they will do a test scan to get me comfortable. I was left alone in the room as the machine “talked” to me asking me to hold my breath at certain times while the platform that I was lying on moved in and out of the “stargate”.
After the test scan was done, I was again joined by the nurse that explained she would now activate the contrast dye. I felt a warm sensation as the liquid entered my body through the IV. The sensation ended lasted about 2seconds or so and I was told to put both hands over my head. Now is time for the real scan.
The platform again moved in and out of the “stargate” and within 10minutes I was done. I was asked to remain lying down until the doctor was certain that they got a good scan. They did and I was asked to get dressed and stay in the recovery room for about half hour to make sure I didn’t have any allergic reaction to the dye. I was released after that half hour is up 🙂 yeay!
So now is the waiting period. The results would come back this week and if I don’t receive any call by this Friday.. then I should home free from cancer and I would just proceed with my keyhole surgery to remove my cyst.
Cheerio…
