Stomping

So my posting was uploaded to Stomp.

Story on Stomp

Prayers and well wishes from kind souls

Some of my friends asked my why post online? To me, it was clear. Posting online means letting people know. And I'm not afraid of letting people know. I'm only afraid when there is no cure. By posting online, I get more prayers which means more people pray for his well being which is better.

By posting online, people who have read would treasure their parents more. If they don't, I have nothing to say. But if my story is able to touch and make people realize how fragile life is, why not? If I am able to make 1 person more filial, why not? I've ever came across this story and i'm gonna share it here.

"A man was walking along a deserted beach at sunset. As he walked he could see a young boy in the distance, as he drew nearer he noticed that the boy kept bending down, picking something up and throwing it into the water. 

Time and again he kept hurling things into the ocean.As the man approached even closer, he was able to see that the boy was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach and, one at a time he was throwing them back into the water. 

The man asked the boy what he was doing, the boy replied,"I am throwing these washed up starfish back into the ocean, or else they will die through lack of oxygen. "But", said the man, "You can't possibly save them all, there are thousands on this beach, and this must be happening on hundreds of beaches along the coast. You can't possibly make a difference. 

"The boy looked down, frowning for a moment; then bent down to pick up another starfish, smiling as he threw it back into the sea. He replied, "

"I made a huge difference to that one!"

Lost Hope - The last goodbye

He has worked hard for the whole of his 57 years in life.
Working hard everyday to support his family of 6.
Till the day he lies on the hospital bed, he still worries about insufficient money.

He does not smoke.
He seldom drink.
All he ate was home cooked healthy food.
Now bedridden, diagnosed with metastatic prostrate cancer and a type of leukemia cancer,
Even the last hope for chemotherapy treatment is unsuitable for him as it is too strong for his body to withstand.

Just when I am 25,
Just when I started working,
Just when I planned to take the whole family for a holiday,
Just when I started to be more filial,
Just when it's time for him to retire and enjoy,
He collapsed and is now left with around 3 months to live paralyzed and in constant pain.
He is my kin, my only dad.

We've always celebrated mothers' day.
Fathers' day has always been ignored.
Our fathers worked hard day and night. Do they deserve this?
How much have we done for our parents?

In this world of uncertainty,
Treasure the moments with your loved ones.
Live everyday like its the last day of the world.
Do not live your life with regrets.

Never would we expect this to be the last get together dinner

Last moment of movements

Now Paralyzed neck down

I urge all of you reading this to please take a look at your parents again when you get home today. Notice how much they've aged. Realize how much they have given you. Look at them again and give them a hug.

Daddy I love you. No matter where you're gonna watch over me, I know you'll always be there in my heart.

My Beautiful Saturday

Take a look at my beautiful Saturday!

I'm so in love with this shot that I took

Its a deep blue sea with deep blue sky! Such a nice weather with amazing scenery.

I'm not a fan of beer, but anyways here's a glass of ice cold beer

Well, that's how pretty much how I spent my Saturday.

We need a miracle

I was really troubled and bottled up on Saturday 29th June. I needed to breathe. I need to go out but where to go? I need a friend's company. I don't have many friends. In the end, managed to get a colleague who is kind enough to accompany me.

Waves washing away sorrows

Everytime I'm troubled, I'd always like to sit by the beach.

Listen to the sound of  waves.

Feel the smoothing breeze.

Breathe the smell of nature sea.

Touch the warmth of soft sand.

Look at the vast sea view.

Realise how big the world is.

Settle and calm myself.

 

After a while at the beach we went to a nearby restaurant to chill out.

 

Can You see the wordings? Its Meaningful!

I had a great time there. At least it was able to take my mind off things for a while.

 

Sun, 30th June 2013

The worst news came. The cancer has spread. It is now pressing on the spine and nerves causing paralysis to the body. Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy is the final fight. If he loses this fight, only few months will be left.

 

A devastating sight. It bleeds to even see this picture.

 

Relatives visit

Feeding by my aunt

My relatives came from Malaysia all the way to see my dad. Due to too many people (He has 7 brothers and 4 sisters) visiting and the hospital only allows 4 visitors, my mum and brother had to stay outside. We had to take turns to see him. I sneaked in. And I don't give a damn.

 

Oh god, please give us a miracle for his recovery. Please...
