Yup, the month of May brought some more bad tidings & happenings...main reason for my absence...
And yup, the worst of them was on the night of June 25th which saw the passing away of my son-in-law's mother! A tragic case...an unexpected premature departure. It was a shock to family, relatives & friends, to say the least!
Above pic is of the late Mrs E (Taken from a newspaper cuttng). Our most sincere & heartfelt condolences to the family, relatives & friends...
Besides other minor unfavourable but tolerable events, in that month, we heard of one other piece of very sad news, at the end of May...a shock, in the very least!
Our very good friend & former colleague, Mr L, (pls refer to earlier posts) suffered a couple of "serious" infections after his 5th chemo session recently! He had to be warded for treatment.
The worst piece of news came last night when it was learnt that the results of an MRI scan taken yesterday of his brain showed a three-fold increase in the size of the tumour in his brain besides the appearance of other new lesions!! All that had affected his mobility & his general well-being.
Being faced with only 2 options, our brave friend chose to go for the final chemo today with a much higher dosage, with the hope of destroying or at the very least stop those cancer cells from growing!
We respect & honour your decision, Mr L,...that took great strength & courage to decide.
On behalf of all yr friends in A/S, we wish, hope & pray for every success in this brave attempt of yours to fight the odds!! May God bless you & keep you with us for many more years to come....Amen.
Not wanting to end this post on such a sad note, here is an update on the new housing development in front of Lot 10. Yup, it is no longer called "Taman Berjaya 2" as originally planned! It seems, according to what was passed from mouth to mouth, (or rather...mouth to ear?) that that name was not approved by MPAS.
Instead it is now known as "Taman Teratai Jingga Fasa III"...as shown in the plague (pls see pic) erected at its main entrance...
And now, here's a really happy piece of good news...
One of my former students, TWA, whom I taught in Form 3, would be getting married and the wedding reception planned for A/S ppl will be this Fri 5th of June. Well, WA, Godwilling, I'll be there!!
So, Heartiest congrats to the happy & loving bride & groom!!
