monday post 5

good afternoon! i've still got at least ONE HOUR of internet time left available to me tonight, but just in case i'm not able to return online for whatever reason, today, i was hard at work plodding 4882 steps today.
-last night, i watched house! sadly, though, i missed at least one quarter of the show coz the parents were too busily gleefully forcing me to walk up to turn the television on, again, again and again! >< but i remembered two favourite lines:
1. house:"differential diagnosis for resurrection. go." and
2. patient's father:"you mean my son's gonna be alright?"
house:"unless he walk outta here and gets run over by a bus, yes." haha!! :P
-also, today, i had physio at UQ with ann! she said i was doing better, too. :) and that i had permission to be brain dead for the rest of the day coz i walked past all these rooms that were being painted, and i was like, "woah, inhaling paint fumes, i'm on a high!" :P
-we came home for lunch, although i did try in vain for lunch at mokka and cafe mi. ah well, toms, maybe.
-lunch was rice, lotsa wombok, some fish. i drank a yummy chocolate nesquik 'incorrectly', then PIG mum forced me to lean forward and read my book for at least thirty minutes.
-anyways, karen's here! bloody dreaded hydro, argh. >< i'm confident that i won't drown anymore, but melting? :P if i'm still substantial enough to post tonight, i shall. :P
cheers,
em. ^^

sunday post3b

good evening! the spam count for the weekend's 56, and em was hard at work plodding 7072 steps today. anyways, where was i?
-shane mccarthy gave us a sermon onwatch out for the thief .
-no communion afterwards; PIG mum took to the bathroom once before i settled down for morning tea, a few half-crackers and two half-cups of cups of water.
-PIG mum gleefully FORCED :(first time) me to walk all the way up to the bible study classroom. thanks to janice and wilfreddy who gave me a hand up.
-uncle chong led our bible study on prayer. we watched segments from this video, answered questions.
-PIG mum took me to the loo before dad tootled us off to plaza for lunch.
-no carpark available downstairs, so dearest dad dropped PIG mum and i off first before going to find a carpark.
-lunch: almost one twister (meaning the parents both had chomps), a yummy japanese green milk tea with pearl, half a bread roll with a dab of butter, and exactly seven small chips. i think there's more than twenty-one chips in a regular box, but oh well.
-lee sat with us; we yakked away as dad rocked off for the groceries.
-the parents made me walk back down to the car, and dad tootled us home. i let erf sit sideways for the last trip of the day.
-PIG mum took me to the bathroom once, then i tootled online till she was ready to help shower me.
-a kinda warm shower, PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to scrub various parts of me 60+ times.
-i dried and rekitted myself, PIG mum gleefully forcing poor ela to help out with my socks. PIG mum fnished with my left ted and laces; made me walk out to watch the second half of seven's news.
-then i flipped channels until the slams arrived for their second dinner. :P
-rice tonight, lotsa wombok (i had to hand PIG mum over a slice), some fish, half a chunk of tofu. of course, PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to hang onto the bowl while i ate, whatever.
-dinner was washed down with two little shotglasses of yummy fruit and vegie juice.
-PIG mum took me once to the bathroom (no guesses as to who gleefully forced who to do everything) before i tootled back online.
-NAB clinic resumes toms! fingers, toes and all other appendages crossed that PIG mum will take me to naz for a kebab toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

sunday post4

good afternoon!
well, hopefully i can come back online after dinner, but just in case i can't, em was hard at work plodding 6331 steps today. anyways, today's events?
-lol, this morning, both dearest dad and PIG mum poked me up with "ten more mins."
-PIG mum got me kitted for the day, then made me walk out to the gobbling :P table. *sigh* of course, she wouldn't lemme hold onto the bar home mods had installed FOR THAT SPECIFIC PURPOSE to stand up with, much preferring to watch me struggle to stand up again, again, and again. ><
-breakfast was a yummy bacon and cheese bun! i haven't had one for years! i also drank a mug of warm milo 'incorrectly' when the parents were upstairs changing, coz i knew i wouldn't get another chance to today.
-PIG mum made me walk out to the car. *second sigh* at first, i used to cling onto the entire table to stand up with. when vincent the physio said he'd rather see me push off from the table rather than holding on, i complied. but now, horrid PIG mum much rathers i suffer by gleefully forcing me to stand up without touching anything at all. sheesh, i know it's easy for you; you don't even need to think about anything, you just stand up, but i've gotta put ela on my lap, lean all the way to the left, and pray that i won't fall to my death after i push up. ><
-PIG mum made me walk out to the car. she also gleefully forced me to buckle my seatbelt all day. dad tootled us off to church.
-PIG mum made me walk all the way down and in. letty sat next to me. :)
-today, PIG mum gleefully forced poor em to stand up for ALL of worship, ie. SIX songs! >< i sang the harmony to two.
-speaker today was shane mccarthy, and he gave us a sermon on
-sorry, PIG mum says it's showertime for me. hopefully she won't gleefully force poor ela to scrub various parts of me too much!
cheers,
em. ^^

saturday post2C

good evening! my final plodding total for saturday now stands at 3466. anyways, events after my last post?
-PIG mum took me to the loo before we left. no guesses as to who gleefully forced who to do everything.
-dad tootled us off to dinner! too bad, he got cranky at me for hitting the hazard light for two flashes and wouldn't let me listen to the CD. oh well. i sang about 1/4 of my second-favourite song in my head before we arrived.
-the parents gleefully FORCED (first time) me to walk inside. uncle tyrone and the slams were already there!
-we looked at the menus and ordered.
-dad sat on my right; anna on my left, BTW.
-dinner: 2.1 slices of garlic pizza bread (i'd asked dad if he'd share his THIRD or FOURTH slice with me please; he kindly ripped me a tiny portion), some cos lettuce from a chicken salad (not Caesar), two slices of pizza with chicken and mushroom (how cute! anna calls mushroom 'mushies' :), some tortellini and some fettucine, both with white sauce. actually, the place is really yummy; if mrs. dent finds me for lunch/dinner birthday meal out, i might suggest there! the website's doninis.com.au, i think. too bad, the parents for whatever so reason that pleased them, refused me dessert - i really wanted to try the oreo ice-cream tower! :( next time, hopefully~~
-the parents made me walk back out to the car; again, PIG mum gleefully forced me to buckle my own seatbelt. i also allowed erf to sit sideways for the last trip of the night.
-i went to the loo once when we arrived back home, then i tootled online till the parents called desert. PIG mum made me walk over to the gobbling :P table; got a bit(understatement!) shirty with me when i asked her if i was standing well enough for her yet. uncle slam immediately teamed up with PIG mum, ganging up on me.
-phew, luckily, in the end, i got desert! almost a spoonful of mint choc chip gelato and a longan.
-dad made me walk back to the computer. again, some difficulty on my behalf, the three adults ganging up on me as i was forced to try stand up again, again, and again. but i made it, in the end.
-just church toms: i'll haveta ask PIG mum to please set the alarm; i certainly don't plan to miss church again! and fingers crossed for a full two piece feed from KFC for lunch! seriously, i've not had one since SEPTEMBER LAST YEAR!! ><
anyways, me off for my naruto fix now; hopefully, i can squeeze that in before the parents force me off to bed. hope to see everyone at church toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 1 error in my post tonight.

Thursday, February 25, 2010

good evening! today, em was hard at work plodsding 3818 steps. anyways, lemme go say heylo to all my online MSN buddies, then i'll be right back to blog about my day!
-firstly, yay for em! who managed to swing herself over to use the pot :P once last night and once again this morning without falling to her death. o_O :P
-this morning, when PIG mum dug me up, i swung myself over to use the pot :P once more. only i felt like doing a stinky unspeakable. but this time, no thanks to PIG mum who refused to roll me in; rather, she got me kitted before making me walk to the toilet, of course forcing me to dak myself.
-so i held the mug of water she kindly passed me 'incorrectly'. i took it from her 'correctly', of course, but once she walked out of the bathroom i slipped my pointer out and drank the mug 'incorrectly'. then i did a stinky unspeakable, wiping myself too. PIG mum came back for me, gleefully forced me to do everything.
-breakfast was two yummy weetbix with half a dab of honey.
-then, lol ... i can't really remember what i did! ><" i think PIG mum gleefully forced me to lean forward and read my book for half an hour. oh, that's right - aunty anne and vicky came a-visiting.
-PIG mum also gleefully forced me to plod the treadmill for 7:30? before claiming to do the same herself. then i tootled online till karen arrived.
-a nice hot shower for me, hairwash today. i had a tinkle before karen flipped the water off, one more when she was jamming my AFO on. i got dried, creamed and rekitted.
-i made myself an arvo cuppa, white and two, my cup of the day to hold 'incorrectly'. then thanks to karen who gave me the perfect arvo tea! a toasted cheese - two slices, thanks karen! - ham and mayo sandwhich, cut into two rectangles.
-we yakked away, karen also keeping an ongoing SMS chat with her friend. i think they're going out for dinner tonight.
-karen gave ela a nice long massage. today, i was being painted light blue with white spots. wonder why karen's that fond of white spots?
-karen took me once more to the loo, before leaving. think she'll be back on saturday. and she confirmed that yes, alice is the name of the lady i'd haveta call to get permission for karen to take me back out to garbo come thursday nights again. so i'll try reach her some day, if any of my carers/life coaches/whatever they're called now :P have the number. sth like 3393 0766?
-seven's news was read out by rod young and kay mcgrath, sport by pat welsh, and weather by john schluter.
-then, i switched to SBS world news for awhile before PIG mum took me once to the loo. again, no guesses as to who gleefully forced who to do everything.
-then i came back to the sofa and watched the first episode of my season five house MD DVD. think the woman ended up having polio? or sth like that ... wilson's also trying to quit his job ... guess he can't get over amber...
-dinner tonight: rice, lotsa kailan, a slice of white fungi (but it's not really white :P) and some pork. of course, horrid PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to hang onto the bowl while i ate, whatever. dinner was washed down with a mug of fruit and vegie juice, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'. then PIG mum made me walk back online.
-toms: your :p turn for physio toms! hopefully, PIG mum'll consent to taking me for lunch at cafe mi toms, then we're off to see tamara in the arvo ... i must beg for help on the helmet ... ><
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i was very happy to call dearest grandma last night! she held the phone to little mickey pig's :P ear, and encouraged him, "call em biu jie!" and the adorable little brat goes, "UM!" lol, fair enough, he can't quite say my name very accurately yet. but i squee happily, grandma laughs, and he says again, louder this time, "UM!!!" :D

thursday post 7

-whenever i had to walk, i'd type that PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to. when she banned me from using all capitals, i used Forced until she somehow decided that the entire word offended her sensibilities, and banned it altogether. so i switched to the word contort, only it wasn't long before PIG mum decided that even this word somehow offended her and banned it also, saying that henceforth, i was only allowed to use the word made. anyways, i complied and used MADE. did it really surprise me when PIG mum stepped in and demanded that it had to be ALL in lowercase? so i complied again, only now i typed that PIG mum 'gleefully' made me walk. that was until charlsy left me a comment on this blog, saying that henceforth, i was only allowed to use made without any words before or after it. dunno really know why i listen to him, afterall, it's MY blog, but i guess i do coz i have heaps and heaps of respect for him as a friend. and, regarding last night:
1.PIG mum made(PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><)me walk from the computer desk to the kitchen benchtop to drink my nightly half cuppa of milk. *sigh* i've said before, how in the past she just used to bring me my milk, in her eagerness to boot me off to bed, but now it seems that she somehow derives FAR GREATER PLEASURE at being able to force her poor daughter to walk more. ah well, i'll survive.
2. after saying goodnight to dearest dad, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><)me walk to the bathroom for my nightly routine.
3.poor em was forced to stand to brush her teeth, and PIG mum also forced my poor left hand to do the three after-brush rinses with my right hand. i forgot to add, same with the kitchen benchtop, it is somehow a HUGE UNFORGIVEABLE SIN if you were to lean against the basin and rest your aching self.
4. after flossing and washing both hands, PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to dry them.
5. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over to the toilet.
6. PIG mum forced me to dak myself for a tinkle or two.
7. when i stood back up, PIG mum forced me to pull my own trousers back up.
8. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk over and bend awkwardly to flush the loo. i reached over to wash and dry my right hand.
9. PIG mum made (PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of today's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. ><) me walk back to bed. remember, i'm not allowed to hobble/stagger/limp in and grasp the handrail that was installed up there FOR THAT SPECIFIC PURPOSE, because PIG mum has recently discovered that it somehow, again, gives her FAR GREATER PLEASURE to force her poor daughter to walk to the middle of the bed, turn around and bend awkwardly to finally sigh with relief that she has, indeed, endured through another day.
10. no pull-up pants. >< no teds, either. argh. i thought that maybe i could wear them once a week, every friday, just like how it gives PIG mum that much pleasure to restrict poor em to a truly miniscule bowl of icecream once a week, but apparently not. tough luck, em. ><
-finally, if i don't mention any of this till next thursday, it just means that it's ALL the same as what i typed out today, okay? no difference. ><
-actually, starting from this year, PIG mum has decided to ban me from saying the sentence i usually type after 'made'. so, when you come across the words 'made me walk', please understand that i'm YELLING for you to PLEASE! GO NOW! to the top of thursday's post to see what i REALLY want to write, but have sadly been TOO HEAVILY CENSORED by PIG mum. >,

wednesday post7

good evening! em was hard at work plodding 15429 steps today! (fair enough, 3000 of those steps were from toastmasters last night). anyways, let's start with last night's events!
-evelyn gave me a shower - no hairwash yesterday.
- i must remember that she doesn't allow me to tinkle once the shower's over. if i do, she threatens, she'll make me mop the laundry.
-arvo tea was my two yummy sushi rolls and a mug of warm milo, my cup of the day to hold 'incorrectly'.
-evelyn made me walk out to car, forced me to buckle my own seatbelt. difference is, whereas PIG mum gleefully forces me to do the entire thing right from the beginning, evelyn actually pulls the seatbelt into place and only forces me to do the buckling bit.
-so evelyn tootled us off to QUT. for once, i finally remembered my sunnies!
-trouble when we reached the building: evelyn Forced me to walk in, we took the elevator - and forgot which floor toastmasters was held! >< we ended up almost trying every single bloody floor, before evelyn Forced me to walk to some waiting room to take a seat. off she went to find the correct floor.
-we made it, in the end! lol, i volunteered in the call for achievements! the speaker just laughed, and during his general evaluations, said i showed good perseverance. :P
-but we heard a speech on golf, and will did his icebreaker! on some law case that he'd studied.
-sadly, no supper. :( warm-up was sharing our favourite travel experience. i shared about my japan trip, of course. :P about getting lost with sarah d'andilly! :P
-evelyn took me once to the loo before we left. she forced me to dak myself and again to un-dak myself. then she wheeled me back down to her car. dunno why she said i didn't haveta help push. so i just enjoyed the free ride. :)
-evelyn decided we'd go to maccas for dinner. i got a crispy chicken wrap small meal, with an orange juice.
-the reason why we came home fifteen minutes late was coz evelyn was talking on her mobile. lol, i thought i'd eat slowly coz she was talking, and she thought she'd keep talking coz i was eating slowly! :P
-but we made it home. the usual nightly routine, then i hit the sack. zzz. :P
today:
-firstly, go em! who managed to swing herself over to use the pot :P once last night, and again this morning without falling to her death! o_O :P
-PIG mum poked me up with "ten more mins." i used the pot :P once more, got kitted. PIG mum made me walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-breakfast was two weetbix with half a dab of honey. thanks to PIG mum who popped me my drugs :P afterwards. i was very careful to hold the mug of water 'correctly', of course.
-PIG mum made me walk out to the 4WD. today, she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her own seatbelt all day, and we also listened to westlife's new album all day.
-off to vedelago for bell ringing! PIG mum made me walk in, and i plopped into an armchair. yay, blessed safety, for awhile. :)
-i donged just over 1700 bells, and sang both my favourite and second-favourite songs in my head, opening my eyes for all the important numbers. when i apologised to lesley for not being able to ring 2000 inside thirty mins, she just waved a hand. "oh, i only told you that as incentive. you don't really haveta ring 2000 bells for it to be any good. i took great pleasure in telling PIG mum that later, when we were at maccas! :Plol, but trust her to still get pissed off with me for sth else. oh well. :(
-so i went once to the loo, then had a bacon and egg mcmuffin and almost half a hash brown. lol, i think one full hash brown will haveta go onto my bday wishlist! :P
-PIG mum tootled us off to unique physiotherapy for my torture session with vincent the physio. ><
-*sigh* i survived. i think. just general evaluations, today.
-but trust horrid PIG mum to make my life so bloody difficult for me. >< next week's bell ringing has already been cancelled, coz she needs to go see some doctor. but instead of cancelling my torture session with vincent the physio, she just reschedules it! bloody hell! ><
-PIG mum tootled us home. i allowed erf to sit sideways for my last car trip of the day.
-PIG mum made me walk in; i sat down and read my toastmaster's magazine until aunty wendy arrived!
-aunty wendy fed me lunch at 12:30: two yummy sushi rolls. one was crumbed chicken, i think the other was pork? actually, the sushi came with a little fish of soya sauce. when i'd mopped up all the soya sauce with just the first sushi roll, aunty wendy kindly poured me some more, without me even asking for some. i also drank a cup of chocolate nesquik 'incorrectly'.
-aunty wendy gave both ela and era a massage! and congrats to her son, who's engaged to his korean girlfriend! but uncle malcolm's done a runner on the family. >< hope he'll come back soon!
-aunty wendy took me once more to the loo before she left. thanks to her who passed me a mug of water - my second i could hold 'incorrectly', and i did a stinky unspeakable, wiping myself too.
-i tootled online after aunty wendy left, until evelyn arrived - early!
-a nice hot shower for me today - i washed my hair.
-whoops, we forgot the cream. ><" i just dried myself, got rekitted. then evelyn Forced me to walk out to make my own arvo tea.
-sadly, just a single cheese and ham toasted sandwhich. no mayo, either. :( i'd rung PIG mum for permission, but forgot to pass the phone to evelyn so PIG mum could tell her what i was allowed. evelyn said i could ring again, if i wanted to, but i decided not to disturb PIG mum. that's why i hope karen comes toms - she'll gimmee a yummy arvo tea. :)
-evelyn gave ela a massage at 5:45. i was being painted bright orange today, BTW. or yellow? one or the other, anyways.
-evelyn took me once more to the loo before leaving. yes, she forced me to both dak and un-dak myself.
-i plopped on the couch, watched seven's news, read by rod young and kay mcgrath, sport by shane webcke and weather by john schluter.
-PIG mum made me walk over to the gobbling :P table for dinner. rice tonight, with lotsa greens, and some pork. or chicken. lol, one or the other. :Pof course, horrid PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to hang onto the bowl as i ate, whatever.
-dinner was washed down with a yummy mug of fruit and vegie juice, which i was very careful to hold 'correctly'.
-PIG mum took me to the loo once. no guesses as to who gleefully forced who to do everything. then i just tootled back online.
-lol, PIG mum has no plans for me, toms! i think i'll watch up; the parents are watching it right now. last thing: ice-cream tonight! lol, i wonder if PIG mum'll 'remember'. :Pwell, i'll be sure to pop ela's thumb back out before i head over; hopefully, PIG mum won't gleefully force her to brace along the cold bowl. hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 3 errors in my post tonight.

tuesday post3

-anyways, em was hard at work plodding 3603 steps today.
-two weetbix with some honey for breakfast today.
-off to your :P turn for physio, listening to jacky cheung's jazz album. sorry, but i'm not a fan of jazz.
-so i did lotsa ela exercises with jess, who said sth like, i try too hard? dunno what she really means, but i'll try keep her relaxed whenever possible.
-PIG mum took me to the loo once before we left; i manage to get my daks down and sit down before she noticed; toobad she caught on and gleefully forced poor ela to hold onto the bar both during and after my tinkle. then she made me walk over to wash both hands, made me walk over to dry both hands, and made me walk out to the 4WD.
-off she tootled us off to plaza for lunch - awesome, naz was there! "hello, mr. kebab guy!" i greetwed him, "i've just been in hong kong for the past three weeks!" when i told him how EVERYTHING (bar the milk) was better in hong kong, he nodded sagely and said, "that's coz it's authentic."
-so one yummy chicken kebab for me: lotsa mayo, lettuce, tomato, no onion, cheese and LOTSA pineapple i mean, usually, the kebab maker gives you five little pineapple chunks, but naz honestly gave me five big scoops! PIG mum had the same as me, bar the extras. i drank a pudding milk tea, PIG mum a disgusting grass jelly milk tea.
-aunty michelle popped along for a visit! poor lady needs an x-ray coz she's got some ouchy back problems. hope she's okay!
-PIG mum made me walk back to the car, and tootled us home. i let erf sit sideways coz it was my last car trip with PIG mum as the driver.
-actually, someone rang PIG mum's mobile, some person from the sepecialist clinic? an appointment for mum, or sth.
-anyways, PIG mum kindly bought me a yummy sushi roll for arvo tea, and evelyn's taking me to toastmaster's tonight! hopefully, i can get a chicken wrap for dinner from somewhere.
-anyways, toms: off to ring the bells! dunno what else i'll be doing, but hopefully, nothing too horrible!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. sorry for any mistakes this arvo - no time for checking - it's showertime for me!

-well, i woke up before midday, but by the time PIG mum had gotten me kitted and made me walk out to the gobbling :P table, it was past midday. :P actually, i had wanted to do a stinky unspeakable, but since PIG mum was all for forcing me to walk to the bathroom, i said i'd hold that for later.
-breakfast was two yummy weetbix with half a dab of honey.
-i settled down to finish my letter to nana! :) hopefully, PIG mum'll post it for me toms.

-a nice hot shower - i washed my hair today.
-i dried myself as evelyn dried the floor, got rekitted.
-evelyn Forced me to walk out to the fridge and grab stuff for my arvo tea
-i had a toasted cheese - yay, two slices! - and ham sandwhich, cut into two rectangles. i drank a mug of plain milk - my cup of the day i could hold 'incorrectly' - coz evelyn had refused me two sugars with my tea. :(
-evelyn asked me about my trip to hong kong; i told her the usual line:" dad had great fun visiting all his family (four older sisters, one older brother, twelve nieces and nephews!), i had great fun eating my head off :P and mum had great fun dissing me to everyone we met.
-at 5:40, i asked evelyn to please give ela a massage, and got painted neon pink. eww. :P i told her to please choose a better colour toms. :P
-before she left, evelyn Forced me to walk over to the couch, and flicked on the television. first, i saw some lucky guy win $34 000 on deal or no deal, then seven's news was read out by rod young and kay mcgrath, sport by shane webcke and weather by john schluter. the most interesting surname i found was 'applegate', and i think our dams are at 74.1%.
-when PIG mum came down, she took me again to the loo, and i did my second stinky unspeakable, again wiping myself.
-dinner tonight: rice, lotsa little tong vegetable, some pork and a small slice of yummy ham and egg each. of course, PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to hang onto the bowl while i ate, whatever.
-dinner was washed down with a yummy mug of fruit and vegie juice, which i admit i sculled 'incorrectly' while PIG mum was praying before eating her own dinner.
-PIG mum made me walk over to the computer. i tootled online at 7:50pm, so fingers crossed that PIG mum'll lemme stay online till 9:50!
-toms: physio at your :P turn. it'll be lovely to see joy and peter again, if they're there! and hopefully, PIG mum will take me to see naz for a kebab afterwards! fingers crossed!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. sorry for any mistakes tonight; i wanna reply my email from mrs. court! if i've the time afterwards, i'll come back and check; if not, hope everyone has a smashing day toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

saturday post2C

good evening! the spam count for the weekend is 77, and em's final plodding total for sunday now stands at 3256. righteo, what happened today?
-actually, me gonna get my facebook fix first. :P bbl ...
-right ... em was an idiot this morning ... i overslept till 9:20am! when i yelled mum down, she refused to drive me to church, but she did give me two panadol for my achey head! >< and yes, i was very careful to hold the cup 'correctly'.
-so i slept until i was woken by a banging on the door. i yelled for PIG mum, who opened the door to reveal - vincent the physio and kat jie jie! thanks to them who'd brought us a bag of longan~
-argh, fifteen mins left! typetypetype~ what's it with mothers that force they're children offline at 8:30? hello, i'm not three years old anymore!! ><
-so i got up, got kitted. PIG mum made me walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth, then made me walk out to the gobbling :P table.
-i only had a cup of milk - which i was very careful to hold 'correctly', again - before dearest dad arrived home. he gave me some non-committal answer when i asked him why he didn't wake me up for church today.
-PIG mum made me walk out to the car. she gleefully forced poor em to buckle her seatbelt all day, and we also listened to voices all day. hey, i wonder if they'll put out a new compilation (sp?) for the 2010 world cup?
-dad tootled us off to church - turns out we were having a luncheon today!
-so the parents made me walk all the way down and into a bible study room, then they went to get us food.
-for lunch, i got: roughly 1.5 slices of pizza, some rice, some noodles and some vegies. thanks to aunty hilda who popped in and handed me a little ice-cream cube! :)
-after lunch, PIG mum took me to the loo once, then tootled us home. i let erf sit sideways coz it was my last car trip of the day.
-i tootled online as PIG mum hit pig land. :P she woke up to gimmee a kinda warm shower.
-i washed my hair today. PIG mum also made poor ela to scrub various parts of me 99+ times. she claims it was only sixty. whatever.
-i dried and rekitted myself, PIG mum never ceasing in her tirade at me.
-back outside, i sat and read my bookclub novel for awhile, as PIG mum wouldn't let me finish my letter to nana nor watch SBS news.
-dinner: rice, lots choy sum, some queen :P salmon, some pork, one small chunk of tofu. of course, PIG mum made poor ela hold onto the bowl while i ate, whatever.
-dinner was washed down with a yummy mug of fruit and vegie juice; i got to hold this cup 'incorrectly' coz PIG mum was praying.
-PIG mum made me walk back to the computer.
-toms: lol, at this rate, i'm just gonna snore my head off with emperor and bear bear until PIG mum comes up with sth for me to do! hey ... wonder if we can go see naz for a kebab? i haven't had one for almost a month! well, toms, when i wake up, must remember to ring CODA, ask who's coming to help me out this week; also gonna ask if karen can take me out to garbo on thursday night again, seeing as toastmasters is on every second tuesday.
-and sorry if they're any mistakes tonight; it's already past 8:30; PIG mum's sitting beside me, being dreadful and nasty to poor ela's thumb. righteo, goodnite! hope everyone has a smashing week!
cheers,
em. ^^

sunday post4

good afternoon! sorry i didn't post yesterday; originally, i had ONE FULL HOUR of my remaining PISSY two-hour internet limit that pleases PIG mum so to restrict me to, but last night, when we got home, PIG mum just decided to force me off to bed instead. meaning that today, i'm owed THREE HOURS online. but both parents are happily snoring their heads off right now :P so let me just start off with the spotty :P points for yesterday:
-firstly, go em! who managed to swing herself over to use the pot :P once this morning without plummeting to her death. O_o :P
-then i snored my head off with bear bear and emperor until tessa arrived. lucky i was already awake, coz when she entered my room, the first thing she did was poke me and tell me that she'd bought me a chicken bun from breadtop.
-so she got me up, kitted, Forced me to walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth, Forced me to walk to the toilet, and Forced me to walk around and flush the toilet after two tinkles. i clung to the towelrack, side stepped to the wash basin to wash and dry era, then tessa Forced me to walk out to the gobbling :P table. seriously, no thanks to PIG mum who'd left instructions that i wasn't allowed to wear my helmet! wish i could somehow contact tamara, cry out for help. :(
-breakfast was a yummy cuppa, white and two - my first cup that i got to hold 'incorrectly' and a slice of toast with some yummy ham and egg.
-i read my letter from nana! and started writing a reply to her, too. :)
-tess randomly made me a warm milo - my second cup to hold 'incorrectly', and, after taking me to the loo once more, kindly made me a maggi chicken two minute noodle.
-but, for some reason or another, when PIG mum got home, instead of feeding me lunch and letting me pop online till karen came, she forced me off to bed!
-so i sang both my favourite and second-favourite songs in my head once, then, as PIG mum still wasn't willing to let me get up, cuddled my darling bear bear and snored my head off. :P
-when karen arrived, i thought she was going to wheel me in my showerchair to the bathroom, then swap me to the wheeless showerchair, like chrissy's done in the past. but argh, again, no thanks to dreadful PIG mum. "you gotta walk there," karen tells me. "no helmet, either." argh, PIG mum, i understand that you somehow find some perverse pleasure in making me suffer as much as possible, but can't you, for once, JUST GIMMEE A BREAK??!! i knew there was a reason why i had a chat to percy the angel/saint every morning, asking him please for the patience and perseverance to endure through another day. ><
-but a nice hot shower - no hairwash today.
-i had a tinkle before karen flipped off the water, a few more as i was getting dried, creamed and rekitted.
-i made myself an arvo cuppa - one more that i could hold 'incorrectly' and for arvo tea enjoyed the chicken bun tessa had bought me from breadtop. :)
-karen and i yakked away. she also gave ela a nice long massage before she rocked off at 6pm, off for dinner with a friend of hers.
-PIG mum made me walk to the loo. of course she forced me to dak myself, then i got changed for uncle sam's surprise 60th!
-PIG mum made me walk out to the car. tonight, she gleefully forced poor me to buckle my seatbelt all night, and we also listened to voices, that 2006 world cup disc, all night.
-off dad tootled us off to the big gun chinese restaurant, for uncle sam's surprise 60th!
-the parents gleefully Forced (second time) me to walk in there. i took a seat next to smoky jie jie :) oh yeah, that's right, i was gonna try add her as a friend on facebook ... bbl!
-dinner was lotsa little different things; like, some kinda animal's tongue (it tasted weird,really!), some chicken, some sweet and sour pork, some fried rice, some vegetables. i drank lotsa little cups of light coloured tea, and as a result, needed PIG mum to take me to the loo three times!
-we didn't have bday cake for uncle sam - instead, we had bday BUNS! lotus buns, i think they were.
-at the end of the night, we sang happy bday to uncle sam in canto, before the parents made me walk back to the 4WD. thanks to aunty catherine/ping yee who kindly lent me her arm to gently hold onto; no thanks to PIG who rudely shoved her off.
-dad tootled us home, i let erf sit sideways for the last trip of the night.
-i was ready to tootle online for my last hour of internet time; trust PIG mum to be a big meaniepoo and force me off to bed.
-anyways, it's showertime for me now, i'll try to come back online with yestertday's plodding total, today's plodding total and today's events, alright?
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. but just in case PIG mum won't allow me back online, today i was hard at work plodding 3001 steps. phew, i just made it past the 3000 mark! :P
P.P.S. oh, and i chewed my fingernails short this arvo. will try to last till my bday to do so again.

friday post4

heylo! the spam count for the week's 206, and em was hard at work plodding 2457 steps today. actually, an apology from me, first - dunno why i kept thinking that today was thursday! argh, i've only got fifteen mins left, mean PIG mum's forcing me to bed at 9pm, like i was a five year old, or sth! ><
-anyways, i tootled online until i was about to burst. dad Forced me to walk to the toilet, also forcing me to dak myself. i sat over the loo for four tinkles; when PIG mum came to get me, she forced me to un-dak myself, made me walk around to flush the loo. i clung to the towelrack, sidestepped to wash and dry era, then PIG mum made me walk to the laundry for my shower, of course fotcing me to dak myself.
-a kinda warm shower - i washed my hair today. horrid PIG mum gleefully forced poor ela to scrub various parts of me like, 285 times! ><
-i dried and re-kitted myself. dunno why PIG mum never bothers with the cream. PIG mum also gleefully forced poor ela to help me put my sock on, my shirt on, etc.
-PIG mum made me walk out to the gobbling :p table. uncle colbert was here!
-dinner tonight: rice, lotsa bok choy (or some asian green :P) two small slices of ham and that again of chickenloaf.
-dinner was washed down with a yummy mug of fruit and vegie juice, which i took the chance to hold 'incorrectly' coz PIG mum was too busy yakking her head off to uncle colbert, who'd come and brought all our mail from the past three weeks. sadly, no letter from nana. :(
-PIG mum made me walk over to the computer desk, and i said my byes and see you on sundays to uncle colbert.
toms: well, tessa's coming over at 10:30. *sigh* i don't really like her, which i've said before, but i'll be sure to be civil. actually, i'm thinking of penning a nice long letter to nana, if that'll get her off my back. but karen's coming in the arvo! 3-5pm.
-anyways, just gonna check, then quickly pop onto facebook if i've the time (which, alas, mean PIG mum has already refused. :( oh well... hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post6

heylo! em's back from hong kong! (em really needs the bathroom too, so let's just hope PIG mum hurries up, gets her piggymum butt outta bed and helps me use the loo once. :p)
anyways, thought i'd just paste what i stuck up on my MSN space:
heylo! i'm just back from a wonderful three weeks in hong kong, visiting my beloved family and friends!
we'd originally planned to go earlier (we usually make it back every three or four years); too bad god chose to smite me down with a brain tumour back in 2007, but that's another matter.
what i hated:
-one fall to report during my three week stay. sadly, i think my brain cell count is down to the single digits, now. :P o_O
-having my mother diss me like mad everytime we went out for a meal with family and/or friends. but i just kept my mouth shut and took it.
-having to say good-bye! i admit, yes, i bawled (silently) when dad ripped me apart from my dearest grandma :(
-mother PROMISED me a really big present if i stopped asking her for my walkbelt and stick. i decided that i'd like an i-phone, and stopped. *sigh* trust her to go back on her word and not get me one. i think her excuse is, "coz you cling to everything else that's around you." okay, fair enough, but so what? that wasn't part of your offer! the deal we made was: emily stops asking for her walking belt and stick, mother will buy emily a big present. *another sigh* whatever... i'm sure i'll survive. i'll also be sure to be very careful in checking what promises mother makes me in the future, and whether or not i can trust them.
-yum cha. lol, not that i really hate yum cha or anything, but, i just prefer one big meal! i don't need lotsa variety or anything, and eating a small bite here, then a small bite there, just kinda annoys me. i'd much rather one nice, big meal. :) also, in the past, mother and i had a deal: emily gets dragged to yum cha once, mother will take emily to macdonalds once in return. well, i think i had yum cha a total of four times in hong kong; sadly, mother only took me to maccas twice. or maybe three times, :( like i said, broken promises. *sigh* i've gotta learn to get used to them.
-being forced to walk to the bathroom every night by mother when i needed to pee; little mickey's potty's just sitting in the next room, un-used!
but the things i loved far outweigh the bad things!:
the FOOD!! seriously, apart from the milk, EVERYTHING tastes better in hong kong, even the bread!
-meeting baby mickey for the first time! he's a complete brat, but i love him, nevertheless. :)
-disneyland! the family took me there on my first sunday. my favourite was the photo i took with pooh bear! (he's got some incredibly complicated canto name, BTW). i stagged/hobbled/limped up to him, told him, 'pooh bear, i'm from australia!" and he hugged me. :) after the photos, i asked him, "umm, pooh bear, the sun's out today; it's quite hot, aren't you like, suffocating underneath that pooh bear head you're wearing?" and he nodded vigorously and pretended to cry! :P aww, poor pooh bear... :P
-seeing old old grandma. i mean, she's ninety years old, really dunno how much longer god will allow her on this earth ... well, i guess all i can do is pray that she'll become a christian before she passes away...
-eating out at an italian restaurant with the family one night. gosh ... yummy!
-having first, second and fourth aunty, plus cousins kin ying and carrie, and rolls, all send us off at the airport! :) poor second aunty blubbered her head off; i kept my cool, this time.
-getting lotsa red pockets for chinese new year. :) :P too bad, i think most of it was spent on me shouting the farewell party (they came to send us off at the airport, remember?) dinner. like, i didn't really choose/want to shout them, but i think my parents decided for me? oh well, no biggie ...
-having mother kindly help me with my seatbelt when i was in hong kong. sadly, now that we're back in brisbane, i doubt she'll be that nice any longer.
-horlicks and yakult! yummy drinks, both. i just wonder why they cost so much more in australia than they do in hong kong
-sausage buns! i'm being serious here, somehow, even the BREAD tastes better in hong kong than it does in australia!
-having mother help me out with a shower. but now that we're back in brisbane, i really dread to think of how many times she'll force poor ela to scrub various parts of me. :(
-being able to get around hong kong in a wheelchair. to be honest, i'm not really sure why my mother chose to LIE to me:"emily, hong kong's too squishy, you can't fit a wheelchair there. my first point was that old old grandma used a wheelchair. mother then cut me down, saying that old old grandma's ninety years of age. fair enough, most of the wheelchair bound people i saw were a few decades older than me; but note: i said MOST. during my last few days in hong kong, i saw a young girl in a wheelchair. and i'm pretty sure she was younger than me. and unlike me, she didn't help wheel the chair around.
anyways, if i can think of any more points, i'll put them up later! in conclusion, let me just say i had a smashing time in hong kong, and i promise to work really hard to improve my mobility so i can return to hong kong in a few years time to see all my beloved family again!
-anyways, the rest of my day:
-i watched inglorious bastards on the plane, before a loo trip, then sleep.
-breakfast was two sweet pastries and a wee tub of yoghurt.
-my compliments to the pilot, who touched us down with hardly a bump. :)
-also my thanks to PIG mum who didn't diss me as much on landing like she had the first time. of course, i couldn't escape entirely unscathed, but that was to be expected.
-uncle calvin came to pick us up! i showed him my awesome tiger hat, and he tootled us off to coles so PIG mum could pick me up some milk before getting home.
-PIG mum took me to the loo once; of course, no guesses as to who gleefully forced who to do everything.
-i tootled online until dad came back from yum cha with uncle calvin. dad made me walk to the gobbling :p table, and lunch was one charsiu bao, one slice of 'lor bark gol' and one 'harm sui gok' (say those two in canto). dad also poured me a mug of orange juice, which i got to hold 'incorrectly'.
-*beep* but CODA sucks! come on, i mean, my first day back from holidays and you immediately can't find me a carter? argh.
-but i think karen's coming toms. :)
-argh, why the hell is PIG mum STILL in bed?! i mean, the phonecall must've waken her up! lazybones! ><
-argh, guess i gotta ask dad to help me then. last thing: today i was hard at work plodding 1418 steps. fingers crossed that i can come back tonight, but hopes aren't up. still, one can dream!
cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post5d

right, just one quick P.S.: thanks to PIG mum who let me ring hilary jie jie to say bye tonight! sadly, though, i only had the chance to have a talk with her for three-four mins, before PIG mum snapped that i had to hang up. :( oh well, she's planning to visit brisbane in 2011, i'll see her then. goodnite!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i admit, i held my nightly half cuppa of milk 'incorrectly', but i'll be extremely careful to hold my brushing teeth ones all 'correctly'!

wednesday post5c

good evening! my final, final, plodding total for wednesday now stands at 4306. anyways:
-parents made me walk all the way down to maccas.
-i ate roughly half a sausage and egg mcmuffin, and exactly six chippies dunked in some tomato sauce.
-parents made me walk back up to aunty nga's flat. i've still no luck in persuading them to let me head up to the 22nd floor! well, last chance is toms ... .
-second dinner:P: rice, lotsa choy sum, some fish and some chicken. dinner was washed down with an icky bowl of bitter soup (lol, little mickey pig :P was smart - he had one sip and refused the rest! :P) then a yummy little bottle of yakult, after more than ten minutes.
-PIG mum made me walk to the loo, also forcing me to dak myself. but thanks to her who passed me a mug of water; i did a stinky unspeakable, wiping myself too.
-PIG mum made me walk over to wash and dry era, then made me walk back to the computer armchair. complete blessed safety, for awhile. :)also thanks to little mickey pig :P who held era and walked slowly beside me! :)
-well, toms is my last night in hong kong! i have a feeling that useless me will bawl my eyes out when it's time to say good-bye ... but i really hope that aunties nga and lai will make it back from work in time to say bye! mean PIG mum snapped at me not to be so self-centered; but someone please tell me ... how can it be self-centered to want to hug and kiss farewell to some beloved family members whom you possibly won't see for the next three - six years?
-one thing i do want to accomplish before i leave: there should be maccas at the airport, right? coz i didn't get my icecream tonight! :( PIG mum 'claimed' that dad had said it was too cold for icecream tonight... :( well, hopefully, there'll be a maccas at the airport toms night, and i can get me an oreo mcflurry.
cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post5b

good afternoon! my new final plodding total is now 1406.
-thanks to siti who helped me to stagger/hobble/limp to the bathroom once.
-oh yeah - i watched an episode of pokemon - in canto! and yes, in the canto version of pokemon, meowth still talks, while jessie and james still have their
"repare for trouble! and make it double!" chant!
-then thanks to aunty lai who helped me hobble/stagger/limp back to the computer chair.
-well dearest dad's just returned; hopefully he'll take me to city plaza so i can get a mcflurry! i'll try my hardest to come back with tonight's final plodding total and the rest of tonight's events!
cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post5

good afternoon! well, since i'm not sure whether PIG mum'll be nice enough to let me back online tonight, let me just say that i was hard at work plodding 1082 steps today. righteo, let's start with last night's events!
-well, dinner was quite some greens, and a few wee chunks of yummy sushi.
-PIG me took me once to the loo; i also had some desert (not that i remember what it was :P)
-i hugged and kissed old old grandma goodbye, also took a photo with her before she left.
-then i said bye to all these relations (like, fourth uncle's mum), before the parents made me walk out to sparkless. dad wheeled me out to the bus, cousins ching and kin ying keeping us dry under the umbrellas.
-i hugged them both goodbye, told
-lunch time! i'll try to bbl¬
cheers,
em. ^^
-heylo again! righteo, em's plodding total now stands at 1141. anyways, where was i?
-oh yeah. i hugged my cousins goodbye; told them it was their turn to come visit me in australia next.
-the bus tootled us back to aunty nga's. i got a lil upset when PIG mum gleefully told me that none of the family would be able to see us off at the airport. :(
-back in aunty nga's flat, i tried half a cupful of the hokkaido milk cousin karry bought for me! my verdict: beats the milk that's offered in hong kong, but still has NOTHING on australia's milk. :P
-repeat the usual nightly routine. era helped ela climb into the little tiger paw, snuck herself into the big tiger paw, then i snored my head off all the way till this morning. :P
-PIG mum dug me up, got me kitted, made me walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth - i admit, i held both the pre-brush rinse and the three after-brush rinses 'incorrectly - made me walk to the loo, made me walk over to wash both hands, made me walk over to dry both hands, then made me walk out to the dining table.
-grandma told me to drink half a mug of water; of course i complied, just i held the cup 'incorrectly'. to this day, PIG mum remains the only woman i know that has this 'correct' and 'incorrect' rule.
-breakfast was three small, thin but yummy slices of 'lor bark gol' (say that in canto) - PIG mum demanded the other three - and a mugful of porridge. when i remarked that the porridge was sadly tasteless, PIG mum just smirked at me. "see, grandma and i have the same tastes. we like our food plain." LOL, FAIR ENOUGH. NO BIGGIE, HEY.
-I TOOTLED ONLINE. pig MUM ALSO TOOK ME TO THE BATHROOM TWICE.
-LUNCH WAS LOTSA CHOY SUM, AND A NUMBER OF DUMPLINGS, SOME NORMAL-SIZED, OTHERS BITE-SIZED. THANKS TO GRANDMA WHO CAME AND FOR SOME REASON - LIKE, I DIDN'T ASK HER TO - FED ME THE LAST THREE MOUTHFULS. argh, sorry, shrieking! ><"
-random point of note: aunty nga's keyboard here's a lil confused. well, at least the " AND THE @ ARE. MEANING I PRESS THE QUOTATION MARK KEY WHEN I WANT AN AT SIGN, AND THE AT SIGN WHE - argh, sorry, shrieking again! ><
-so yeah, it's just past 2pm right now. am waiting for dad to come back from second aunty's place and take me out. hopefully to see cousin winnie and cohi, but if not, even to citiplaza ao i can get a mcflurry would be awesome! hey, did you know that a mcflurry in canto's called a 'mc boat wind'? or a 'mc wind boat'. lol, my memory's atrocious, but it's either one, i'm sure!
-anyways, will try to come back online tonight with this arvo's and this evening's events!
cheers,
em. ^^
lol, i've forgotten. is today monday or tuesday?
after a look back at the previous post ... it's tuesday! lol, just ignore me; i'm an imbecile ... :P
somehow i doubt i'll be allowed back online after tonight; i've spent heaps of time here already! but fingers crossed!~
well, i've already checked my email, browsed facebook and read all the fanfiction i've published on fanfiction.net. oh, and gone on youtube and gotten my naruto fix, too.
another point verifying that i'm a moron - i didn't realise that ching ying had google cjrome!
righteo, dinnertime! byebye!
cheers,
em. ^^

tuesday post

hello from fourth aunty's house!now, i dunno if i'll be able to come back online tonight, so let me just note down that today, i was hard at work plodding 1232 steps today. anyways, i haveta give the computer back to ching ying soon, so just quickly:
-PIG mum gave me a shower this morning.
-breakfast was one mug of warm water and a small cake. little mickey pig :P and i traded bites. :P
-i wheeled myself down to yum cha with cc chan, uncle sth (sorry, i've forgotten his name, but he's a paramedic and aunty pansy. PIG mum was all for forcing me to switch to a normal seat, but thanks to aunty pansy who persuaded PIG mum to let me remain in sparkless.
-i ate not one, not two, but THREE charsiu buns! *is deleriously(sp?) now*!
-PIG mum helped me to the loo twice.
-we saiod bye to aunty pansy, then the paramedic uncle tootled us off to fourth aunty's place.
-we said our byes and thanks to them(i think they're PIG mum's high school friends) and i wheeled myself up. eep, looking out the window, i think we're pretty high up! *em's TERRIFIED of heights!* >< eep ...
-anyways, we're celebrating ching ying's 22nd bday tonight!
-hmm ... why can't i enlarge this screen? em's eyes get tired. ><
-oh yeah, almost forgot! PIG mum managed to get grandma poon's phone number! meaning i had a yak to her, wished her and hubby a happy chinese new year! now ... if i could just contact hilary and florence jie jie before i leave ... i mean, i'd also love to get an i-phone, but looks like PIG mum's gleefully going back on her word. *sigh* nevermind, i'll survive.
-last thing: last night dearest grandma spent some time with me in bed! and she prayed with me, too. :) i admit, i love her so much! i got somewhat teary, but she comforted me before leaving. :) off to change little mickey pig's :P nappy, i think.
-anyways, will try my hardest to come back online with my final plodding total tonight!
cheers,
em. ^^

monday post4

good evening! seriously dunno why i keep thinking today's monday ... no wait ... it is ... lol, just ignore me, i'm bonkers. :P but i was hard at work plodding 2062 steps today! sorry i didn't post last night; we were all over first aunty's place, see, for new year's dinner! and i'm pretty sure she has no internet connection. anyways, today's events?
-phew. i snored my head off all the way till this morning before i needed to pee. PIG mum made me walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth, made me walk to the loo, made me walk to the tap to wash and dry both hands and made me walk to the dining table, where i bid first aunty and old old grandma a happy good morning.
-sadly, no milk at first aunty's house, but for breakfast i got a bowl of savoury porridge, a sausage and egg mcmuffin and some 'jar leung' (say that in canto).
-then i crashed on the comfy massage chair and indulged myself for awhile. the television was playing some music awards show thing.
-more family wandered over to first aunty's place, like, cousins carrie, stephen and teresa, rolls and franco.
-actually, i had lunch on the massage chair! it was turned off, of course, but i got roughly half a bowl of rice, some mushroom, black fungi, beans and chicken.
-then i said bye to cousin teresa, uncle dick and franco; they're going on some tour, so i won't see them again.
-thanks to rolls who gave me a hand down getting down the stairs; we caught a taxi back to aunty nga's.
-dearest grandma's younger sister was there! umm ... do i call her my second aunty? so we had a happy chat; ela also showed her how strong her grip is.
-when she left, i tootled online until uncle fung called dinner.
-rice tonight, with lotsa choy sum, some red snapper (or some other fish! :P) two yummy mushrooms. but lol, dearest dad gave uncle fung an english name! he's uncle 'ken', now, see, his chinese name's 'fung wing keung', both 'ken' and 'keung' start with the letter 'k'!
-dinner was washed down with a bowl of soup then a yummy little bottle of yakult.
-i flopped on the couch for awhile, begging baby mickey to call me 'em'. sadly, he just ignores me. >< :P
-i tootled online when dearest dad left to spend the night with old old grandma at first aunty's.
-i also went to do a stinky unspeakable, wiping myself too.
-toms: it's ching ying's birthday! so we'll head over to their place to celebrate that with him. wow ... toms will be my second last day in hong kong ... gosh, i'm gonna miss all my family!
-oh yeah, i got SOME RED POCKET MONEY THIS YEAR! I WANNA BUY AN I-PHONE! argh, sorry, shrieking! >< well, PIG mum PROMISED that she'd buy me a really BIG present if i stopped asking her please for my walking stick and walkbelt; *sigh* trust her to go back on her word. as said, i stopped asking for my walking stick and walkbelt, but i'm pretty sure PIG mum's refusing to buy me an i-phone. argh. >< hopefully, i've got enough red pocket money to buy me one! hope everyone has a great day toms!
cheers,
em. ^^

sunday post2b

good evening! righteo, PIG mum has made it clear to me that i owe her thanks for letting me come back online, so *grovels* thank-you!!!!!! :P and in the end, em was hard at work plodding 4119 steps today. anyways, today's an event! (chinese new year's eve) meaning i'm gonna grab the opportunity to type out everything in full!
-firstly, em was pretty proud of herself, considering that i got up around 10:30am! sadly, no thanks to PIG mum, who just snapped at me that little mickey pig :P had woken up around one hour earlier than i did. well, he goes to bed at least an hour earlier than me too, so *nyak* :P PIG mum got me kitted, made me walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth. i was very careful to hold the cup 'correctly' for the initial pre-brush rinse and the three after-brush rinses, of course. then PIG mum made me walk to the toilet. after a tinkle, she made me walk out to thebasin to wash both hands, made me walk over to dry them both, and made me walk out to their eating table.
-grandma gave me half a mug of water to drink, which i did so 'incorrectly'. breakfast was a yummy pork floss bun. i've already said before, i think, how cool it is that the bun not only contains pork floss on top of the bun, but also INSIDE it also? anyways, after breakfast, i wrote in my diary for awhile, until PIG mum allowed me to tootle online. she and dad rocked off to grandma's old house ... not really sure why, though.
-so i tootled online for my two hours, checking email, blogging, reading the news and facebooking. thanks to siti who helped me once to the bathroom. when lunch was called, grandma had me swap to the chair, and fed me one bowl of soup with some bite-sized dumplings! very cute and yummy! actually, they were so tasty, in fact, that i didn't even need to ask grandma for any soya sauce! after lunch, thanks to siti who helped me once more to the bathroom. then i crashed on the couch, watching television. i saw one episode of barney and friends and another of ... lol, i can't remember >< but it was some good cartoon i used to watch when i was heaps younger! lol, siti propped both erf and elf for awhile as she mopped the floor; i also propped era up on the sofa and sang both my favourite and second-favourite songs in my head twice, the first time opening my eyes for all the important numbers, the second time closing my eyes for all the important numbers. when the parents came home, i asked PIG mum if she could please take me out somewhere, coz i've only got a few days left in hong kong and i don't really want to spend them all being cooped up in the house! PIG mum replied that she and dad would take me downstairs then right back up again, majorly dissing me for not being as mobile as everyone else. whatever. >< so the parents made me walk down and out the entrance. i was ready to turn back and walk up, but dad suddenly decided that he wanted a red bean pie at maccas, so that's where the parents made me walk. upon arrival, i collapsed gratefully onto a chair, and asked PIG mum to please go check out the menu for me. she rang dearest grandma; siti answered, and told PIG mum that uncle fung had gone to get the meal box he'd ordered from maxim's, and that dinner would be served shortly. to my immense relief, PIG mum told dad to go back up to aunty nga's flat and get sparkless for me. when dad had left, PIG mum opened up the yummy bacon and egg mcmuffin and allowed me two bites, saying i could save the rest for toms. dad returned with sparkless, PIG mum made me walk out to it, then dad and i wheeled me back to aunty nga's flat. PIG mum took me to the loo once, after dad changed my shoes for me, then dinner was served! grandma prayed for us, then i had: roughly one bowl of rice, wow - only one slice of broccoli!! :P some sea cucumber, a few mushrooms, some chicken and two 'fish eggs' (say that in canto). i washed that down with a bowl of soup and then a yummy little bottle of yakult. poor little mickey didn't get any, coz he'd fussed and squwaked his head off when aunty nga was trying to feed him dinner. uncle fung swapped me back to the computer chair and PIG mum let me tootle back online. and toms is chinese new year! i've already received red pockets from dearest grandma and aunty nga (apparently, their custom is to give red pockets out on new years eve, not the actual day?). anyways, the parents will haveta part with lotsa money toms (lol, dad's got so many nieces and nephews! :P) but i stand to score some, yeah! must remember to (1) thank first aunty for the 'lor bark gol' (also say that in canto) she made for us, and (2) ask cousin stephen chu where i-phones can be bought. i wonder, also, if we will go pay our respects to uncle toby/aunty tammy and other relatives of PIG mum's? (like, grandma's younger sister) also, we'll prolly haveta attend church toms *sigh* i got out of going the first two weeks, sadly, doesn't look like my luck will cover toms as well. oh well, no biggie. i just hope i understand more of the sermon than i used to!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. definitely no time to check, but if i'm super-duper lucky (which i doubt i'll be) i might get to squeeze in a chapter of naruto manga!

-we caught a taxi to cornhill plaza. thanks to PIG mum who helped me buckle my seatbelt all day.
-aunty lai, dad, PIG mum and i wheeled me around the shops. i got less than 1/3 of a sausage bun for lunch/arvo tea (dad had told PIG mum to buy me one, but then she ripped more than 1/3 for herself, then dad also ripped more than 1/3 for himself. i also copped my weekly tirade from them both, who ganged up on me. :(
-but we went to some sushi place for dinner, to celebrate aunty nga's birthday!
-i had: roughly one bowl of udon, the same again of ramen, one avocado sushi, two yummy inari, some corn, and a small slice or two of avocado sushi.
-i asked PIG mum to take me to the loo once before we left; sadly, the disabled toilet was in use, and PIG mum got impatient with waiting. so she took me to the normal ladies loo, and also forced me to dak myself. after making me walk back out to sparkless, i went to wash and dry era. no thanks to PIG mum, who scoffed at me that i wouldn't be able to reach the hand-dryer coz i wasn't standing up; just to prove her wrong, i held my hand up to the machine and slowly dried it. :P
-we caught a taxi home; actually, we crammed four ladies in the backseat! no seatbelts, either ... lucky we weren't caught. :P
-back in aunty nga's apartment, dad changed my shoes for me, made me walk back inside. mum forced poor elf and erf to use that leg massage thing for twenty mins.
-toms: dunno what i'm doing toms, coz dearest dad's already hit the sack. hopefully, sth fun! anyways, i'm just gonna check, get my naruto fix, then let PIG mum force me to bed. hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
cheers,
em. ^^

thursday post3

good evening! sorry i didn't come back last night with my final plodding total, but i didn't reset my pedometer, so: yesterday i was hard at work plodding 1655.5 steps, and today i was hard at work plodding 1711.5 steps. again, it's not my fault that the number i divide by two is an odd number! :P eep, it's almost 11:30pm! so, just quickly, today's events?
-em made it up before midday, but by the time PIG mum had finished getting me kitted for the day, finished making me walk to the bathrom to brush my teeth, finished making me walk to the loo, finished making me walk over to wash both hands, finished making me walk over to dry them, and finished making me walk over to the table for breakfast, it was past midday. :P
-brunch was my yummy sausage bun - CHICKEN sausage bun! usually, i think it's pork?
-lol, cousin winnie, cohi and uncle sam took us to yum cha. how cool - we went to a place where cohi was allowed!
-right, dad's forcing me offline now, so the last thing i wanna type: new year's dinner with the family topnight! yummy~ i said sunny was my 3m tall cousin, stephen was my 2.99m tall cousin, and cousin ching ying was my 2.8m tall cousin. :P thanks to them who all helped me down the stairs. goodnite!
CHEERS,

wednesday post4

good evening! (well, it's almost 6pm, therefore i'm saying it's evening. :P)
-i got up at like, 9am today! well, at first, i just wanted to use mickey's potty then go back to sleep, but since mean PIG mum was all for forcing me to walk to the loo and back, i just decided to get up.
-PIG mum got me kitted, made me walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth. i was very careful to hold the cup 'correctly' for all the rinses, of course.
-PIG mum made me walk to the loo for a tinkle, made me walk over to wash and dry both hands, and made me walk outside.
-dearest grandma rocked off downstairs to buy us bread for breakfast! she returned with a pork floss bun for me, a mushroom bun for PIG mum, and a sultana bun for litt;e mickey pig. :P
-so i munched my delicious pork floss bun with a popper of milk. little mickey wandered up to me, placed his sultana bun in my hand, then wandered away. guess he was full, then. so dearest grandma and i shared it.
-PIG mum made me walk over to the couch. dunno why she wouldn't let me pop online yet. she even told siti that i wasn't allowed to write my diary! ><
-so i sat and watched a DVD with siti and little mickey, singing all these english songs.
-PIG mum took me to the loo once, then actually allowed me to write my diary.
-dearest dad came home after having been thumped by uncle toby in tennis :P and took us to the siu sai wan shopping mall for lunch. we caught a taxi; thanks to PIG mum who helped me buckle my seatbelt.
-yeah, we ate at cafe di coral! i got a pork chop with a fried egg. thanks to PIG mum who helped me chop up the pork chop and didn't demand any from me. :) but we traded a mouthful of rice for a chunk of pork chop and egg. i drank a warm horlicks.
-dinnertime! i'l try to bbl with my final plodding total, okies?

cheers,
em. ^^

thursday post2

good evening! em was hard at work plodding 2242 steps today. and eep, gotta type quick, only thirty mins left!
-argh, last night/this morning, PIG mum made me walk to the loo. and i forgot to ask grandma if i can borrow little mickey's potty >< she's already gone to bed with little mickey pig :P >< guess it just means i'll haveta drag my poor legs on another forced march to the loo toms morning. ><
-but i got up before midday today! :P PIG mum got me kitted, made me walk to brush my teeth, made me walk to the loo, made me walk over to wash both hands, made me walk over to dry them, and made me walk out to the dining table.
-i drank half a mug of water 'incorrectly' - and got blasted by PIG mum, as a result - breakfast was a yummy sausage bun and a poppa of milk.
-aunty lee/aunty karen came to visit! she's yorkman's/isaac's mum. i think he's about twenty, now? and her daughter is seventeen.
-more visitors! aunties katherine and virginia! they're sisters; one of them studied nursing with PIG mum. one of them's also a speechie! she told me that perhaps 'em' is too hard for little mickey pig :P to pronounce, and that maybe i should try teaching him to call me 'biu jie'. one of them, her hubby's an oncologist. like james wilson! :P
-PIG mum took me to the bathroom once, then we caught a taxi and headed down to heng fa cheun.
-we wandered the plaza, so i could see what was for eating. we chose a japanese restaurant called 'yummy'. lol, dunno why i keep thinking it's called 'happy'. :P
-i chose chicken and corn with rice; PIG mum ordered pork with rice. and awesome, she said i didn't have to give any to her! but we traded bites, anyways. i also had one yummy dumpling, and munched a bowl of green tea icecream.
-PIG mum took me once to the loo, before we caught the MTR to tin hau to meet dearest dad. one of the ladies hugged him, we also took happy snaps together before we said our byes.
-then, we caught a taxi to the new year's markets!
-really, too bad that i'm not well enough to traverse the markets at some ridiculous time of the day; i remember last time, dad, some cousin and i didn't get home till like, 3am! hopefully, next time. :)
-so we shopped around. PIG mum picked up a souvenir for mr. hall (fair enough, considering how he picks things up for me whenever he's overseas!), dad got a few odds and ends, but i scored - a tiger head hat and a set of tiger paws! well, not really a set; earest dad got a larger size, while i got the smaller size. while PIG mum was picking up some windmill thing, i tilted my head up and backwards to send a silent prayer to god, thanking him for holding off the rain so that the parents and i could go shopping together. :)
-we caught a taxi home; i let erf sit sideways for my last car trip of today.
-dad changed my shoes for me; PIG mum made me walk in to the dining table. i started on trying to get little mickey pig :P to call me 'biu jie', but as always, he just ignored me. :(
-dinner tonight: roughly one bowl of rice, lotsa spinach, one yummy mushroom and some chunks of bream. dinner was washed down with a yummy wee bottle of yakult.
-PIG mum took me to the loo once before i tootled online. she 'claims' that she's too tired to help gimmee a shower tonight. fair enough. toms, hopefully, then. otherwise em will be one really stinky pig! :P
-toms: uncle toby's booked dearest dad to go play tennis with him! hope they have fun¬ as for me ... lol, i can't ask PIG mum coz she's currently hiding in the loo! so i'll just check first. right. umm ... she doesn't know, either! well, hopefully, she'll ask him toms and we'll come up with sth ... my aim is to get up before midday!
cheers,
em. ^^

monday post2a

good evening! righteo, em was hard at work plodding 1757 steps today. and the rest of today's events?
-dad and i wheeled me down to a taxi. thanks to PIG mum who helped me with my seatbelt. the taxi driver tootled us down to times square.
-dad and i wheeled me around to some place with the ouchy foot massages. i stuck my feet in one for awhile. comfy, but owww. >< PIG mum tried sticking her feet in one too.
-dad and i wheeled me to some other shop where poor ell and erl got stuck in some other leg massage thing. again, comfy, but oww... ><
-PIG mum and aunty nga went home first. dad and i wheeled me for lunch/arvo tea at toast box. cousin carrie joined us!
-can't remember why dad only allowed me to order bread, while cousin carrie got two minute noodles with fried eggs and ham, and dearest dad got some bread and two fried eggs himself. oh well, no biggie, really, coz cousin carrie and i traded some. i ended up choosing the thick toast with condensed milk, and i drank a yummy cold horlicks with lotsa horlicks powder sprinkled over the top - yum!
-dad took me once to the loo before he and carrie just ignored me and had a long chat. i didn't mind; i just sat and sang my second-favourite song in my head, closing my left eye for all the important numbers.
-when we finally left, we wheeled me down a few lifts; dad also forced me to walk and catch a few escalators. we bid farewell to cousin carrie at the MTR station. i think we boarded at the mongkok station and got off at the hang fa cheun one?
-dad and i wheeled me back up to aunty nga's apartment. PIG mum changed my shoes, made me walk into the bathroom for my shower.
-hairwash today. i think there might be sth wrong with their hot water? i mean, one second it's nice and hot, then the next, it's barely lukewarm?
-anyways, after shower, PIG mum stuck my left sock and AFO on, made me walk to the loo. i had two tinkles as she got me rekitted. then, she made me walk out to the dining table. and no surprises, but poor em copped another rant from her. ><
-oh, almost forgot! ela's so happy right now~~ see, little mickey kindly held my hand and led me to the bathroom for my shower - and he held onto ela! so ela's one happy lil hand right now~~
-dinner tonight: rice, lotsa greens (i've forgotten which again, sorry! ><), some minced pork, some fish, one juicy mushroom and one dried beancurd. thanks to dear grandma who fed me a bowl of soup afterwards, then PIG mum gave me a lil bottle of yummy yakult. yes, it's little, but it's still bigger than the australian ones! the hong kong ones are 110mL, i think. must remember to check an australian bottle for it's size when i get home.
-PIG mum made me walk back to the computer, and i tootled online.
-sadly, the crummy weather looks set to continue. >< please, mr. sun, please come out for one day so my parents and i can shop at the new year's markets!
-toms: lol, i dunno what i'm doing toms, but at the same time i'm hesitant to ask PIG mum lest she forces me off to bed! :P but i guess i should, coz i've already checked and it's already 10:30pm!
-so, toms: in the arvo, we're having lunch with aunty lee (PIG mum says she's isaac's mum) at tai koo shing, but we've nothing to do after that, so please, mr. sun, PLEASE come out so the parents and i can shop at the new year's markets!
-oh yeah, one last thing: no more pull-up pants for em, coz my monthlies have ended. >< :( oh, but i'm going to try and wake up before midday! see, i'll only be in hong kong for one more week, then it'll at least be FOUR YEARS before i get to come back and see dearest grandma and mickey pig (oh, have i said? not only is it PIG mum, but it's also siti pig and mickey pig! hahahaha!! :P)
cheers,
em. ^^

-yup, em was a pig who snored her head off with tigger and middle nga till past midday, again. :P

-well, i'll be back tonight to log in my final plodding total and the rest of today's events; dad's taking us out now. byebye!

em. ^^

sunday post2

good evening! the spam count for the weekend is 49, and em was hard at work plodding 925 steps today. not a lot, i know, but i can assure you that each step required lotsa effort! anyways, let's start with last night's events!
-actually, me gonna get my facebook fix first :P
-actually, facebook isn't loading, so, last night's events?
-we caught a bus down to somewhere to catch a taxi to the kareoke place. but, we searched for like, thirty minutes! guess saturday night's a busy night. PIG mum blamed me, of course. but this time, i'm passing on the blame. who struck me down and almost killed me with a brain tumour? god. and who's left me a hemiplegic and basically wheelchair-bound? yup, god again. anyways, we finally found a taxi.
-PIG mum took me once to the loo, before i settled down next to uncle dick on the couch. and we started singing!
-awesome, all my cousins can hold a tune. :P they sang canto and mandarin songs, i sang english. sadly, there were no westlife songs, so i warbled a backstreet boys one, one from elton john - yup, you guessed right - the lion king! :P - a robbie williams one, one sung by jesse mc cartney, and a few others. the parents went outside and came back with dinner for us; i ate assorted nibblies. i also drank a yummy chocolate with pearl, followed by a pearl milk tea, then ended the night with a warm horlicks, which, i'll admit, i held 'incorrectly', coz PIG mum was too busy singing her head off.
-uncle sam arrived! so i had a chat with him, asked if he had the time to please draw me a new tee.
-we ended late, cousin teresa tootled us off to first aunty's place. the parents made me walk the stairs up and into first aunty's house. first aunty gave me a mug of milk - which i was very careful to hold 'correctly', what with PIG mum watching - then i brushed my teeth, used the loo, then hit the sack. zzz. :P
sunday:
-yup, i snored my head off again! :P dad came in and poked me up with "ten more mins." FOURTH AUNTY CAME IN AT SEVEN MINS AND TRIED TO GET ME UP! "sorry, shrieking! >< bye bye," i told her, "i've still got three mins."
-so PIG mum dug me up, got me kitted, made me walk over to brush my teeth, made me walk to the loo, made me walk over to wash and dry both hands, then made me walk out to the dining room, where i bid fourth uncle a happy hello, and fourth aunty, ching ying, first aunty and grandma a happy good morning.
-breakfast was a mug of warm horlicks. PIG mum ripped me two small shreds of sausage and egg mcmuffin.
-parents made me walk down the stairs, out to cousin teresa's car.
-thanks to franco who helped me buckle my seatbelt. cousin teresa tootled us off to some shopping centre, listening to air supply. i recognised one song, "killing me softly."'
-my first yum cha of the trip! so, hopefully, the parents will take me to maccas toms. after asking two or three waitresses for a fork, i finally got one, and tucked into the food - well, the small amount of food PIG mum allowed me.
-but i was very put out that they had no charsiu bun! i reckon that should be an offence! :P but fourth aunty promised me that there'd be charsiu bao when she called me out to yum cha next time.
-PIG mum took me to the loo once. ching ying took the duty of wheeling me in sparkless, telling me to put era back onto my lap.
-we paused by a bakery to pick up a chocolate bun for me! actually, i can't remember if it was really a bakery, or just some chocolate shop.
-when we left, cousin teresa tootled us off back to their house to play wii!
-dad made me walk in, PIG mum took me to the loo once, then i settled down on a chair. then cousins carrie and teresa helped me hobble/stagger/limp to an armchair. awesome, complete safety, for awhile. :)
-so i played tennis with franco, tiffany (she's some relation of franco's) grace, and grace's mum (yun yun, but i've forgotten her english name, sorry). then the four of us played two games of bowling. franco and grace trounced me, i trounced grace's mum. :P
-time to leave, the parents made me walk back down and out to teresa's car. thanks to cousin teresa who helped me buckle my seatbelt. i let erf sit sideways for my last car trip of the day, and cousin teresa tootled us off to some MTR station.
-we caught three MTRs, i think. dunno why dad refused to wait for a lift; instead he forced me to catch a few escalators.
-finally, we caught a taxi back to aunty nga's place. thanks to the parents who helped me change shoes. then PIG mum made me walk inside. i took a seat, and dinner was soon served.
-1.5 bowls of rice tonight, beans, some other green, some black fungi and some fish. dinner was washed down with a yummy little bottle of yakult.
-PIG mum took me to the bathroom once, before i tootled online.
-we rang hilary and florence jie jies! firstly, we tried hilary. some man answered, told us that hilary was in the shower and to ring back ten mins later. so we tried florence jie jie next - and she was there! both PIG mum and i had a yak to her; gosh, i really hope that i'll be able to see her! then we rang hilary back; she answered, this time. so PIG mum and i both yakked to her, too. i've already said this, i know, but i really hope i'll be able to see them! dunno why PIG mum keeps claiming we're too busy to see them... :(
-toms: pray that the heavens stay closed and that it won't rain toms! coz the parents are thinking of taking me to the new year's markets! but if it rains, i'll just be stuck inside aunty nga's house. >< so i'll just check, then pop onto facebook for a few mins if i'm allowed the time. hope everyone has a smashing week!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 1 error in my post tonight.

friday post

good evening! the spam count for the week is 175, and em was hard at work plodding 1893 steps. eep, PIG mum's about to force me to bed! so, just quickly:
-the parents woke up early to go mountain hiking with uncle toby and aunty tammy. i just cuddled tigger, vincent and minnie and snored my head off until they returned. :P
-PIG mum got me up and kitted, made me walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth. then she made me walk to the loo for a tinkle, made me walk over to wash and dry both hands, and made me walk out to eat breakfast.
-one yummy sausage bun and a poppa of milk later, i started writing my diary, until uncle william arrived!
-dad and i wheeled me down to some shopping centre. oh, we caught a bus first, i think. lunch was at maxim's! meaning all but one of my to do points in hong kong has now been completed ... now, how do i get my hands on an i-pad (or whatever the newest apple gadget is)?
-i drank a horlicks, had a fried chicken wing (speared on a stick) with chips, and drank a warm horlicks. thanks to aunty nga who squirted out some tomato sauce for me.
-after lunch, i pushed myself along a few stalls and looked at various items, before i wheeled myself back to aunty nga's.
-thanks to PIG mum who helped give me a shower - hairwash today. i'm very thankful towards her, don't get me wrong, but all the whinging and flak i cop from her are a little hard to bear.
-PIG mum rocked off for dinner with her high school mates! i asked her to please say hi to cc chan for me.
-dad and i wheeled me down to some bus ... 116? and cousin karry met us at our stop. we wheeled me around; saw rolls and carrie. we also took some photos at some fountain; cousin karry made me walk up to it. 'it's only three steps," she told me. yeah, three steps. plus fifty! :P
-cousin karry took me once to the loo and helped me change my pad before we settled down for dinner.
-here tonight: dad, cousins karry, claudia and carrie, rolls, uncles simon and dick and natalie.
-i wonder if PIG mum told dad to curtail what i could eat? i had: one bowl of fried rice, the same again of soya sauce noodles, two fried dumplings, three boiled dumplings, and some greens. fruit was a few slices of orange
-cousins karry and teresa helped me use the loo once, before we headed home. funny ... at first, cousin carrie said we could go have some pearl milk tea! i wonder why she changed her mind? oh well.
-thanks to franco who helped me buckle my seatbelt. funny thing is, he had to help dad with his, too! see, poor dad was having some trouble seeing in the dark. :P franco has to learn mandarin toms (he gets one-on-one tutoring) but he'll join us for the afternoon's activities. hey, i wonder why their helper's also called siti? maybe 'siti' is a very common name in indonesia?
-cousin teresa tootled us back to aunty nga's. dad and i wheeled me back to aunty nga's place. nice, she lives on the first floor! oh! and i almost forgot! we got stuck in the lift today! but not for long, and i'm not claustrophobic(sp?) so no biggie.
-PIG mum took me once to the loo, then i tootled online.
-eep, i'd best get to bed - it's after 11:30pm!
-toms: 'yun yun'(iris) is visiting us toms, i think! then, for lunch, we're meeting uncle william, aunty winnie, and wend- err, jasmine. :P finally, toms night, we're having kareoke with the family! well, i know that uncle dick can sing in tune :P(he sang sth tonight) but i've no idea about the rest of the family. anyhow, hope everyone has a smashing weekend!
cheers,
em. ^^

thursday post 1a

good evening! em ended up working hard and plodding 6436 steps today. a bit more than usual, yeah, so am buggered, now. >< anyways, since my last post?
-when PIG mum got up, i told her that i was hungry and wanted some arvo tea, so she gave me some yummy green tea cake.
-then PIG mum gave me a shower - hairwash today.
-PIG mum made me walk to the toilet. i had two tinkles, then she got me rekitted.
-PIG mum made me walk back to the couch. thanks to doctor siti :P who helped me change my band-aid on era's cut middle finger! lol, and she taught little mickey, 'blow on it." :P
-i sat and watched the news until dearest dad returned home. :)
-the parents made me walk all the way down to macdonalds. much thanks to aunty tammy who let me gently hold onto her hand.
-well, i guess i should express my thanks to PIG mum who didn't diss me while we were eating, but i was correct in that i wouldn't go unscathed. i copped a flak when we were walking to maccas.
-dinner: i had a sausage and egg mcmuffin (wonder why bacon and egg mcmuffins are all sold out by 8pm?) and some chips, dunked in tomato sauce. i drank a 235mL carton of plain milk. PIG mum had a spicy crispy mc chicken burger - we traded chomps.
-we yakked away; PIG mum being horrible to poor ela's thumb. :( but hey, uncle toby taught me another tai chi move! and he says he can be my 'sifu'! :P apparently, his own sifu is a girl? he says i'd haveta call her my 'sigong'. :P
-the parents made me walk all the way back to aunty nga's place. i think PIG mum and dearest dad have booked uncle toby and aunty tammy to go mountain walking with them?
-PIG mum took me to the loo once, then i tootled online.
-PIG mum, aunty nga and aunty lai all came around to feed me mouthfuls of mango pudding. i must remember to thank first aunty for making such a delicious treat, next time i see her!
-toms: well, the parents are going bushwalking toms. i plan to snore my head off until they return. :P then, i think bak fu wants to go yum cha? well, i've lasted my first week without yum cha. :P anyways, my requirement stands: you force me to go to yum cha with you? i demand to be taken once to macdonalds. :P don't really know what i'm doing toms arvo or evening, but whatever it is, i hope it's fun! lastly, i apologise for any mistakes you might find - i don't think i've got time to check tonight.
cheers,
em. ^^

thursday post

good afternoon! no plodding total from em yet; hopefully i'll be allowed back online after our dinner with uncle toby and aunty tammy! anyways, PIG mum's in pig land right now, so ela's thumb has tucked in for some happy respite. anyways, what happened today?
-hehe, go em! who managed to get up before midday today!! (and shh, we can just ignore the fact that i refused to get up until 11:55am! :P)
-PIG mum got me kitted, and was making me walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth, before she noticed it was occupied. so she instead made me walk to the couch, where i took a seat bwside dearest grandma. lol, i told her, "grandma, i'm just going to cuddle you right now, coz if i try to do this when little mickey gets home from school, he'll get jealous and won't let me. so i'm just getting my share of you right now." :P she laughed. :)
-when uncle fung was done with the bathroom, PIG mum made me walk over there to brush my teeth. then she made me walk to the loo. thanks to her who passed me a mug of water - which i was very careful to hold 'correctly', of course - and i did a stinky unspeakable, wiping myself too. PIG mum came for me, made me walk over to wash and dry both hands, before she made me walk out to eat breakfast.
-another sausage bun, yum yum!i also drank another cup of milk, 'correctly'.
-then i sat at the table and wrote my diary as siti went to pick up little mickey from school, and PIG MUM WENT TO BUY ME SOME PULL-UP PANTS, COZ I GOT MY MONTHLIES THIS MORNING. argh, sorry, shrieking! ><
-when everyone came back, lunch was six yummy boiled dumplings with broccoli, cauliflower, mushroom and some 'fish egg'. lol, trust PIG mum to deny me even one drop of soya sauce to dunk my dumplings into. poor PIG mum, who finds a plain bowl of rice too sweet and a plain slice of bread too salty, just can't quite understand that some of us actually have DEVELOPED tastebuds. :P but i thought i tasted some sesame oil in the dumplings, so nyak. :P
-little mickey held my hand and walked me to the toilet! i did haveta shoo him away when i entered the bathroom, though, "sorry, mickey, you're a boy." :P
-PIG mum gleefully forced my poor legs into that leg massage thing for fifteen - twenty minutes. luckily, the thing has a timer and stops automatically; saves me from having to keep time myself.
-well, PIG mum's snoring her head off in PIG land right now, so i think i'll just go get my naruto fix. see you guys tonight!
cheers,
em. ^^

wednesday post2

good evening! hmmm ... i've got one full hour to jot this all down; i should be alright...
-anyways, today em was hard at work plodding 2245 steps.
-last night was a bit of a fiasco, though. i used mickey's potty, but somehow dad got pissed at me and said that if i needed to pee again; i'd haveta get fully kitted and walk to the loo. so i prayed desperately and fervently that nature wouldn't call until it was time to get up for the day; god, however, prolly took some malicious pleasure in making me wake up and need the loo. so PIG mum made me walk to the loo - without my pedometer! >< i started counting the steps out aloud, but PIG mum told me to shut up, so i counted in my head. back in bed, i tried desperately to remember the number, cuddled tigger, vincent and the bolster back to sleep ... then snored my head off till past midday! :P
-when i finally decided to arise for the day, PIG mum got me kitted, then made me walk to the bathroom to brush my teeth. lol, but i really do love that giant cup! anyways, after brushing my teeth, PIG mum made me walk to the loo, before she made me walk out to the table for breakfast.
-i drank the required glass of water, then had 1.5 bowls of congee for breakfast, with some yummy pork floss and some 'mui choi' (some kind of salty vegetables.)
-PIG mum took me to the loo once before we headed out. but i dunno what happened ... i was reaching for sparkless, but i must've lost my balance or sth, coz WHAM! i hit the floor, giving my poor head a nasty *crack* lol, i've already lost enough brain cells with my brain tumour and the countless number of operations that followed it; add to this today's fall, my brain cell count must be down to the single digits! o_O :P
-but i eventually made it back onto sparkless; dad and i wheeled me down to a taxi, where the driver tootled us off to city plaza.
-i used the bathroom a few times when we were there, we also browsed lotsa shops. lol, dad's complaint:"emily, there's shops called 'bread and butter', 'strawberry' and 'mango', but why are they all just clothes shops?!" lol. :P
-i saw an ice-skating rink! dad also forced me to stand up and take a photo beside this car that, he said, he wanted to show lams.
-after saying i was hungry countless times, dad finally let us have lunch at maccas. i ate a double ham burger - it would've tasted nicer if it had cheese and ketchup - and drank a small choc shake. PIG mum had a mcchicken burger, and asked to trade bites. dad got himself a red bean pie, which i had a bite from, coz he'd just grabbed my choc shake and slurped it.
-after browsing still more shops - oh, i keep forgetting! some other day, we were at some other shopping mall, and i tried a head massage machine! dad wandered over, concerned that the machine would send evil MRI waves to deplete my almost non-existent brain cell count :P - but the sales lady reassured him by telling him it was all only air pressure. and it really was very comfy indeed!lol, i tried bernie's brain sucker joke out on PIG mum; the woman has no sense of humour, sadly, i don't think she got it. :P
-we caught a taxi home. like before, dad stopped me well short of the front door coz he wanted me to walk more. only thing, coz i'm changing back to grandma's shoes, i haveta be right up by the door, lest i'll just dirty the shoes i've just changed into by walking over the unclean floor! argh, whatever. ><
-back inside, aunty lai immediately captured ela's poor left thumb, and we tried to ring hilary and florence jie jie again! but, still, sadly, no luck. but PIG mum tried win jie jie - and we found her! so i had great fun telling her about my disneyland adventures with winnie the pooh, she told me that she'd try to contact hilary and florence jie jies and see if we can all arrange a time to catch up; i don't really know why PIG mum hijacked the phone to tell her that we wouldn't be available all trip; i really want to see hilary and florence! well, fingers, toes and all other appendages crossed.
-dinner: dad made me walk over to the gobbling :P table. dinner tonight: roughly 1.5 bowls of rice, lotsa broccoli and cayliflower, some chicken, some pork, some fish, and one mushroom. dinner was washed down with a yummy little bottle of yakult.
-then, thanks to PIG mum who helped give me a shower - hairwash today. sadly, the water was only mildly warm, but PIG mum gleefully told me that the water was set to that temperature and couldn't be changed? sth like that, anyway. also, the amount of flak i cop from her during my shower is almost unbearable, but i endure.
-PIG mum got me dried, stuck my AFO and shoe on. she made me walk over to the loo, then got me rekitted as i had two tinkles.
-she made me walk back outside, and dad let me use the computer. first, though, PIG mum gleefully forced me to use that foot massage thing for twenty minutes.
-well, it's almost 10pm, no doubt PIG mum will be forcing me off to bed soon. dunno what's in store for me toms, but toms night, we're meeting uncle toby and aunty tammy for dinner at maccas! sadly, not at 10:30pm, coz uncle toby neds his rest, but it'll be great to see them, anyhow! hopefully, PIG mum won't spend the entire night dissing me, but hey, i'll steel myself up for it tonight. even better, she says i can get some icecream at the maccas toms coz i couldn't get any tonight! i wonder if they sell mcflurries in hong kong? well, if not, i'll just try for a chocolate sundae.
-anyways, my first week in hong kong has been a blast! hopefully weeks two and three will be just as awesome! oh yeah ... what's that newest apple gadget cousin stephen chu told me about? the i-touch? i-pad? well, whatever it is, i want it! coz remember, PIG mum's PROMISED me a really BIG present if i stop asking fo r my walking stick and my walk belt. actually, trust the sneaky thing - i'm pretty sure she's deliberately left them at home! ><
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 1 error in my post tonight.
