Missing her

I mentioned a couple of times before that I do not carry the same flair in writting blogs as Shandy. However, in my attempt to keep this blog updated I will try my best.

The last few days was like a dream that I could not wake up from. I was telling some of Shandy's friends that I had yet to sit with my parents to consolidate and reason what had actually happened. And in the midst of the wake services, there were some misunderstandings between friends and family. Everyone wanted the best for Shandy. Without elaborating, I guess you will understand what exactly I mean.

Sad as I may be, please do not sympathise. On reading the postings my sis made, never once she pity herself. It was her strength, determination and sense of humour that kept her going.

While I recall the events that happened over the last 2 weeks, I would like to mention my sis's "just do it" spirit. Shandy became slightly disillusion while she was in hospital. Her mind was very active still but she could not express clearly what she wanted. Her speech slowly became unclear too. However, her statements "Let's do it" and "Let's go" were the clearest of all. We never had to second guess what she wanted once she made those statement.

She still made her own decisions while in the hospital. She will "command" us on when she would like to take pill A or which position she wanted to sit. Yes, she was still managing us in her own way.

There are many other scenarios that were distinctively "Shandy". I will share more with you soon.

Lastly, I would like to thank my relatives, friends and even neighbours for coming by to the wake to give my parents the encouragement. Thanks~~~

Thank you....

Dear Friends and Family,

During this tough time that we are facing, we received great amount of support and condolences from you.

Shandy is a brave girl and we are sure she had found her way to the Lord's arms. My dad dreamt of her last night. She told my dad she had no pains and she is happy at where she is right now.

We will be sending her to Mandai Crematorial on Tuesday at about 11.45am (leaving from Mt Vernon). Transport will be provided if you wish to accompany her.

Thankyou for the generous support.

Edmund and Family.

Shandy was called home to the lord.....

Shandy passed away this morning. We were all beside her when she left us peacefully.

Her wake is at Mt Vernon Parlour 1.
From 26/12/2008 - 30/12/2008.

Jie, I love you very much. I will certainly miss you.

Positive Energy

Just taking this opportunity to talk about this positive energy that i learnt recently.

Energy is something very mysterious. Although it cannot be describe by a scientific formlua, we know it is there.

We have heard many times that happy people are less prone to falling sick.
When you meet someone who is ill tempered by nature, you feel negative too.

that is why i encourage all friends to put on a bright smile when you visit Shandy.

She can and we can all feel the positive energy

A Request

Hi Friends of My Sis,

recently i met a friend, Lye Hock, he told me about using positive energy to create miracles.

With this new found knowledge, i only have some simple requests:

1. When you visit Shandy, please put on a bright smile.
2. Remain positive.
3. Have a normal conversation with her.
4. Wear VERY bright colours.
5. No Solemn looks.

As simple as that.

and finally, i found Shandy's password for the blog. I am able to approve comments from now on.
SO KEEP POSTING THOSE WELL WISHES....

thanks

Edmund

Bad, bad, bad....

Hi everyone,

My apologies for not updating this blog as often as I would want to.

Over the last 1 month, Shandy’s condition deteriorated. The cancer cells had spread to more parts of the body. The doctor was not very optimistic of her situation and requested the family to be mentally prepared. We had sought a second opinion and the TCM doctor concurred.

We had not told Shandy specifically, however i am sure she knew about it.

She is currently in Mt E hospital.
