Thank God for today! Today was an eventful day in my family as we welcome a new addition to our family!!!
No! Before you have jumped to the conclusion that it was my made-in-USA shotgun marriage that had come to fruition, my utmost apologies - because you will be disappointed...
Actually, it was my elder sister who successfully gave birth to her first child this afternoon. Her son, Zee Peng, was suppose to be delivered at the end of the month decided to play a prank on my sis by getting into a breech position. This resulted in my sis having to arrange for a scheduled Caesarean section operation today.
The day's action started at 6am for me as my dad, my mum and myself made our way to my sister's place and accompanied both her and her hubby to Gleneagles hospital. The service provided from the minute she registered for the appointment was nothing short of top-notch! Kudos to the doctors, nurses and staff at Gleneagles once again! My mum was extremely worried about my sis's well being and she had been praying fervently since Day 1. My job was to try and calm her nerves and make sure she is composed enough for the whole affair. The op went smoothly but the baby had to be warded into the ICU immediately. This provided an early scare for myself. Apparently, some fluid got into the baby's lungs during delivery and an infection caused the baby to be breathing heavily. However, all fears were allayed as the baby's condition recovered as the day drew longer. My sis also recovered quite well as she managed to chat for nearly the whole day! I bet she is a real strong woman! Praise God as He had listened to our prayers that everything will go through smoothly and both the mum and baby are fine. I thank God for looking after my sis and her son throughout this time! Amen!!!
Today was a day I witnessed a new life born and the death of a couple of mindsets, plus the responsibilities of parents, the love of families, the preciousness of a newborn and greatness of the Almighty!

My last holidays are coming to an end... FAST! Yes, faster than I can even say "Wah L.....". I think I made the right move not to engage in part time work so as to spend more "ME" time. As I managed to stay home most of the time to accompany my family (esp. my mum) and also got to catch up with some of my friends. Indeed, I hope it was time well spent (Though a chunk of it was spent on reading magazines, completing PS2 games like Guitar Hero I & II and Resident Evil 4, and of course gymming! :p). Looking back, I do cherish this holidays as I will be stepping into the working world in less than 12 months' time. So right now, I gotta savour every last bit of this break before revving my engine for one last dash in the maddening paper chase in NTU.
Rayzor's Rock-amendation: Speaking of revving engines, this song never fails to get myself to life. Whether it was waking up to go for lessons in Gerogia Tech or waiting to go to gym or carecell in S'pore, its energy just dissipates into me! A bit about this band, they are currently one of the hottest band in the punk rock scene. With heavy leanings towards pioneers like Black Flag, they deliver their foot-stomping frantic punk music with a dosage of socio-political awareness. Let their video prick your conscience!

Yeah! I've been officially blogging for a year now! Whoo-hoo!!!
Was actually excited about the GST package, but the joy vanished in thin air as I started to realise everything has its price hiked. My magazines now cost a few more cents now, my CDs hardly cost less than $19.00 and my KFC meal now needs at least 3 two dollar notes with spare change!! Haiz...
Rayzor's Rock-amendation: Caught this MV while I was still in the US. I first thought they were another bunch of cookie cutter emo-rock band (think Panic! and Fall Out Boy), and jokingly told my roomie Rob that this band has a freakin' dress code some more. But on second listen, this is a catchy number filled with what made bands like FFAF and MCR famous. This is definitely one new band to check out!
