Wat a year!!!

2day is my 4th time visiting the hospital.

Jan 2010, visit mum's brother at SGH. Attended his funeral in the later part of Jan. Everyone cried!!

Forgotten which month & day I've visited my big uncle (dad's side). Cancer. Attended his funeral early may 2010. He was a very quiet man, keeps everything to himself. Bearing all the pain he suffered until his final days..

Last week, visited cousin Cai ping's daddy at TTS, he was discharge later last week & recovered after the operation.

2day we are at changi hospital sending my auntie in!! She was discovered having some bateria infections on the legs & fingers. After the blood test.. It's diabettes!! Need to be warded immediately! After waiting for almost 3 hrs, the regristration is still not completed. Hundreds of other patients were waiting. OMG will probably need 5 hrs to complete one normal warding registration!! Lack of manpower? Too many patients? Many patients were suffering in pain.. High Fever.. Food poisoning... & were still waiting for hrs Painfully.. Everyone seems so powerless but to wait quietly.. Only the super rich ppl will receive the best treatment ASAP... This is the sad truth in this human world!! Just like wat was shown in the movie 2012.. Only the super riches will survive...

My mum always say the year of tiger is always the worst yr!! Usually wars happen in the year of tiger.. Extremely bad resession periods.. Very true!! I'll never forget 2010!!!

Accompanied my Family to see a Chinese Doc Recommended by my brother. Mum checked for her chest pain.. dad checked for his left eye.. Bro checked for his skin prob, which ended up to be his heart problem..

before leaving the clinic, bro asked the doc to help me check whether i've any health problem too.. so she checked.. she was shocked by my low blood pressure.. she says i sld be sent to the hospital immediately.. OMG.. i calmed her by telling her my blood pressure has been extremely low since i was a kid.. she was kinda surprised that im living with such low blood pressure & heart beat.

Back to my Online Store.. OMG!! need to redo my homepage!! this site is totally SEO unfriendly!! all my google keywords rankings that i built in the past 2 yrs were all gone down the drain!! Damn!! must get these keywords back ASAP!! if not my site will be as good as "no such a site" on Google!! GAMBATTE!!!

OMG my new webby speed is way 2 slow!!

wah cannot cannot... this speed is way 2 slow for anyone intending to see my store. will be redoing everything in HockGiftShop.com!! i think the slow speed was due to my anyhow editing of the source codes.. initially tot it works can already.. but now.. OMG causing a super lacking loading of the individual products.. DAMN!!

anyway embroiderycart.com will juz be a temporary site for our online store.. eventually i'll still need to get everything done in hockgiftshop.com

so i better start building the improved version soon before more emails start coming in. Thanks to every customer who has been sending in to inform me about the slow loading of the individual pages.. will improve on that ASAP :)

Hope everyone do have a Wonderful Weekend!
