Jesse is back home!

Jesse was warded into UMMC on 22 Nov 2005.

He had his surgery to remove the nasal polyps on Wednesday at around 0900. I wasn't allowed in the OT. At around 1048, he was out. He sleep all through 1730. Gradually, he regained his appetite. I was so happy to see him sleep without any sign of breathing problem nor snoring. God was in charge, He is and will be.

The ENT specialist originally estimated that Jesse was to stay there for 3 or more days. But Jesse recovered well and was discharged on Thursday. Now he is eating a LOT.

His voice is still not back to normal yet. But we are glad it is over. It is a test for us. Jesse passed with flying colours.

We want to thank you all for your prayers. Your care and concerns are much appreciated. God bless you.

All glory to Jesus.

In memory of Eddie Guerrero (09 Oct 1967 – 13 Nov 2005)

Eddie Guerrero is one of the biggest stars in WWE's Smackdown! brand ... if not the biggest. He passed away to an apparent heart failure at the age of 38.

You can read the messages his fans left at his official website.

Eddie Guerrero was a 2nd generation superstar. His blend of interview skills and technical ability is unmatched.

He came clean with his personal struggle with drugs and alcohols. He was sober for 4 years before his untimely death. His struggles were well documented in the DVD the Eddie Guerrero story: Cheating Death and Stealing Life. (Here's a review.)

Eddie Guerrero is known to his fellow wrestlers as a main of great faith. Fellow Christian wrestler Shawn Michaels was quoted saying Eddie did something no one else could - he got them all together in prayer.

He is survived by his wife Vickie and daughters Shaul, 14, Sherilyn, 9, and Kaylie Marie, 3.

Eddie's death is captured by mainstream media like MSNBC and Yahoo! News. It was featured on the main Yahoo! page.

My condolences and prayers go to his family.

Do you take care of your health?

Jesse (my son), Kathleen (my wife) and I spent almost a whole day in UMMC yesterday. Jesse has been experiencing coughs, flu and fever for more than a month. At the last visit to the family doctor, he noticed some growth in his throat. He suspected an enlarged adenoid.

That was before the week-long Deepavali and Hari Raya holiday. The ENT specialist in UMMC took a look and decided the growth is to big to be there. He immediately schedule Jesse for a surgery on 23 Nov 2005. He also made an appointment for Jesse to get a CT Scan on 10 Nov 2005. It could be adenoiditis or nasal polyps. The pathology will determine the cause. Please pray for him. He's only 11. He's sicked of taking medicine and is afraid of the surgery.

The daughter of my faithful prayer parther, Grace is cleared of dengue. Onn, a fulltime church worker is not. Onn is in the Selayang Hospital (website is under construction.) His father-in-law passed away on the previous Saturday (05 Nov 2005). Onn has arranged for the full moon celebration for his son on 12 Nov 2005. We pray that God will heal him and restore him in time.

I am one who doesn't really pay attention to my health. I eat all I want, work all I want and sleep as little as I want. It's not very healthy.

This month, the theme of the sermons in the church (CBCPJ) is based on the book of Job. It's about the sufferings we face and how to look for wisdom amidst all the sufferings.

Let's remember France in our prayers too.

Friends and neighbours took to streets in protest

Famiy members, friends and neighbours took to the streets in protest of Loong's attitude towards work.

Jesse Ngui, the only son of Loong, has repeatedly protested Loong's long hours of work outside the house AND inside the house. "I don't want you to go to the apartment, I don't care." Jesse was referring to the apartment the company rented to house some of Loong's colleagues.

Grace, Loong's faithful prayer partner thinks Loong is ALWAYS b c (SMS lingo for busy.) Work, church, family. Loong seems to be always working on something. Her constant prayer support has helped Loong through some tight spots.

SH, a "dry" sister thinks Loong is simply too serious in work and other things. She thinks Loong doesn't have to be so serious in everything. It remains to be seen if SH will influence Loong or the other way around.

H, the GM of Loong recognizes that Loong has inadvatently taken on more that his job requires of him. "He is now taking on the role of another colleague. Once she is back from maternity (which is about 10 months away), this responsibility can be given back to her." Loong has requested to take leave from his work so he can spend time helping his team mates.

Incidentally, Mrs. Ngui has not made any comments on this issue. She is also not seen among the protesters.

"I admit I am a busybody. That's my nature. I cannot rest until I am sure I have given all the help I could to the people around me . And even then, I will still worry and think about them," said a nonchalant Loong.

Loong cancelled his leave when he was moving house to do work. He is gradually turning into the workoholic he didn't expect himself to be.

We will give you more update on this situation when new information is made available.
