Colon cancer, stage 3

iimcrystal — Fri, 02 Oct 2015 16:00:04 +0800

Hi everyone

So my mom was diagnosed with mucus pass in the ovaries during 1st week of july 2p15
Took her to the hospital, HUKM/UKM at selangor
and clean the stomach from the mucus pass and removed the "exploded" ovary(total of 2 surgeries)
Rested in the hospital for 1 week
And was sent home to rest for 3 week while waiting for the report on the medical research of the ovray to detect any cancer
Good news is that there's none
Bad new.....

After 3 week, near the 1st week of August
My mom felt a pain in the stomach
And she drive to the hospital @ Pantai for check up
And my dad got a call from her asking him to visit her

So he bring me and my sibling to visit her to know what happened
And my mom was looking dreadful, face green, weak body
My aunts visited
And the doctor said she need to undergo surgery ASAP
My aunt asked why(i wss at home while they stayed back)
The doctor does not gave a solid reason
And while my mom was resting
One of the nurses was talking about packages promotion on surgeries (WTF man? Patient ady sakit kuat kuat lagi bagi promo?l
My aunt just scolded her and hurriedly sent my mom back to ukm

And ukm checked and they feared that it might be cancer and started surgeries(3rd surgeries)
And is was cancer, Colon cancer / bowel cancer (sorry got mixed up, gonna reread the report when i get my hand on it)

The doctor removed the entire big intestine and make a hole on her stomach and put the small intestine as a new excretion system with a donut bag(a bag with a hole that shaped like a donut for the small intestine to excrete)

And after a month, my mom lost 30kg in a span of 2 month
But she been eating healthy(fish, rice, white noodles, vege, acidic fruit[lemon & orange from what i saw])
and we received the report
And the doctor suggested doing chemotherapy

But with my mom condition of losing body fats, 4 pint of blood lost during the surgeries, and she has a bad case of depression/lack of moods

I honestly don't think she should take chemotherapy

But i don't know what else to do to help her
Anyone know what else to do beside doing chemotherapy?
I heard the sideeffect is terrible and dangerous
Anyone has these kind of experience?
I feel really insecure and helpless and worried about my mom mental well being.

Sorry for the long posts
Just thought it best to write out everything incase of specific information needed :sweats:

How to avoid wrinkle from watercolour ?

iimcrystal — Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:37:26 +0800

HI everyone

recently i started trying watercolour painting
and it was fun and enjoyable

but the problem is...
after finishing my piece, the paper is all wrinkle or "curved"
i tried reducing the water, but still wrinkle

i tried google, but most of it specifically to A piece of paper
while mine is sketch books

there this "stretching" where they spray the paper with water
tape the paper onto a mounting board,
dried, and paint on it

but mine is sketch book
how to tape? how to spray? Lol
i prefer to keep the pages intact

another method is buy watercolour paper
but mahal lahh
lagi pun hobby je.
xde skill hebat

anyone know how to avoid this?
tolongg
thank you

and to the experienced user
can you guys suggest me a drawing tablet for :
1)hobbyist/working user
2)medium size drawing area
3)regardless of pricing/ not to tight budget (at least not the cintiq price lah )
around rm200-500

Starbuck for beginner

iimcrystal — Fri, 11 Jul 2014 12:35:32 +0800

so i started university,
and outside have one starbuck store
and since i have to pass-by there
i thought why not try starbuck.

so yesterday i look through the menu
and the naming was confusing (i tiap tiap minum nescafe je)
so i just go with a dark mocha, tall

so i went to the counter and tell the barista what i want
and he said "you sure ? don't want the large one ?"

and i said "wad ?"

"ya" he said "we got large one,
you want to see the cups ? "

and i said ya

so he showed me one large and tall cup
and because got people lining up,
i just go with the large one

then he ask "want whip cream ?"

ya, confusingly

"chocolate chip ? "

again, ya, confusingly.
and i pay via starbuck card

and waited, it was quick
take a sip, biasa je rase
maybe because i drink too much chocalate drinks ?

BUT i did tried it caffe latte few weeks back,
i was in heaven

anyway, the point is
how many cup size are there ?
cause i think they don't put all of their cup size on the menu

and can i order custom drinks ?
cause i saw a lot of people drinks are different from the menu and the monthly special.

i always think "where do that drinks came from ? " lol

please
i memang a noob in starbuck but i'm a <strike>coffee</strike> kopitiam lover

ECA / CURRICULAR POINT ; at uni level

iimcrystal — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 12:04:45 +0800

ok so my friend msg me asking did i join any ECA (extra curricular activities)
and i said "foundation got meh ? "
and she said her uni/college have

i'm currently studying at UCSI tmn counaught .
and at there, they have club and whatnot
i just didn't bother to check it out
cause not one single person there asked me whether i join any.

but UCSI have many event at their lobby / block A
and it always showing " ECA X point if you join "

X= number of point

so i'm guessing ECA point is important ?
or is it like in high school
"ECA markah penting!! " when actually not so much ? lol

so is it a must for foundation student to join ECA clubs ?

thanks !!

presentation group member problem?

iimcrystal — Sun, 08 Jun 2014 11:55:25 +0800

Heyy everyone

So I form a group for a presentation.
But there are a lot of introvert

Actually my friends and i were form way before the presentation started
But they came late and the lecturer mush the last few people together.

Thus creating overly awkward situation.
And as leader of the group(due to being the most out spoken or something)
I really want my group to do really well 😢

But they're just too introvert (no offence to introvert everywhere)
During discussion, only me and a guy discuss
The Others just stare
And form time to time, i asked them "anyone has any ideas? " "why so quiet one, say something la, come, share share idea"
But they smile and went back to staring
Thou they do give idea from time to time.
But by the looks of it,
They ounces enough courage to speak out the idea

And this presentation has quite a mark
And I really this my group could get 80% of the mark if they overcome their shyness

So how I do help then to overcome their shyness?
Please help and thanks fot reading \TUT/

what should i expect ?

iimcrystal — Thu, 15 May 2014 18:03:20 +0800

Last friday, i was planning on going to UTAR @ sg. Long,
was gonna fill the application form when the office lady said she's gonna send to PJ and i'm could START STUDYING AT PJ
When both me and my mom heard that, jaw dropped.
leaving me and my mom feeling stun
we quickly went back into the car and start thinking a new plan
and that is checking out UCSI,
and imo,
ucsi is more wow then taylor in surrounding & environment.
so we meet up with the counselor,
and ask him in such short notice,
is it possible to register for FIA(foundation in art),
luckily he said ok,
only till 20/5 they accept.
so my mom said give us time to think and etc etc etc..
and end up register and he said i could start class immediately
but my mom suggested better on 19/5 since i haven't ready anything for college LOL

but when i checked the website
it said that it started on 5/5

so i missed 2 weeks of class
i missed orientation day as well

so what should i expect of missing 2 weeks of class ?
in term of socially, academic and etc.. ?

smelly hair ?

iimcrystal — Wed, 14 May 2014 15:29:54 +0800

ok, so i have smelly hair,
but not those 1km away also can smell one LOL
but if like half a foot close
very smelly one
many years i have this kind of problem and i tried countless shampoo product
but also not much help
and everytime my bro look behind by my back when i'm playing game
he will suddenly say my hair smell really bad
he said if nearby got smell but can tahan lah,
but if smell on the skin/scalp
better ready 14 floor

currently i'm using pantane total damage care (the gold big one ) shampoo
ok, maintainable but still got some smell on the skin or scalp.
though it helps with my split end

i don't use conditioner cause it make my hair smell worse and too sticky.
i try wash but also still there on the skin/scalp.

i also don't use those after bath hair product
cause my hair is too oily and if put, look like barbie's hair
plastic shiny shiny.

from time to time,
i blow-dry my hair when rushing to work or lazy to wait it to dry off
but most of the time i leave it to dry itself.

not to sound creepy but sometime when the pretty korean looking girls walk pass
the hair smell very nice
and i always think "HOW THE ♫ DO THEY HAVE NICE SMELLING HAIR ?! USE MAGIC AH ?! "
lol

to me i think i already reach the point where if close by also no horrible smell liao
just the scalp got problem (==")
now i aim for nice smelling hair for 1 foot/feet ( idk how to describe but i hope you get the point )

so anyone can share your secret to nice smelling hair ?

I was gonna register a level at utar
But when my mom told them my result (2A2A- rest just pass)

what happen if one fail sejarah in starting 2013?

iimcrystal — Tue, 14 Jan 2014 16:24:27 +0800

Hii
Ya I know spm ended like last month
But I keep on having paranoid of my sejarah
Cause sejarah I never pass at all in form 4 and form 5
Except for trial (dafaq it happen lol)
Just 42 mark.
If compare with my trial and spm
Trial - SPM(estimation)
P1 12/40 - 14/40
P2 17/100 - 10~20/100
P3 67/100 - 65/100

For trial, I only on that day study cause still no pressure and I really hate the "memories and vomit" kind of subjects
But for spm, I study about 30min~1hr per day for the 3days break.
But what I studied didn't come out in spm
So my paper 1 and 2 keep on use machine gun non-stop. :|
Paper 3 lucky some got kena LOL

Anyway, what will happem if one fail their sejarah since sejarah was made compulsory?

after spm, finding job?

iimcrystal — Thu, 02 Jan 2014 02:20:09 +0800

Hi hi
Am a spm leaver and been rotting at home for a month lol
And I wanna have a job for my free time

Reason why I wasted a month because...
I'm human too lah, so relax relax lol
Wanna take lesen test so I have my own transport and not burden my parent time
Look for college and uni to study

But my plan burn in ashes(´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥∀°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)
But with 3 month I think still ok ╮(￣▽￣)╭
But the problem is (. .")

I have been a "shut-in" person for as long as I could remember ,_____,
Due to my mom overprotective trait
But now I'm kinda fed up with this
And I want to find a job for experience and of course $$$$ =u=

But the bigger problem is
Idk how one find a job ""orz""
I praise to those who know how to find one lol

My disadvantages is that

My area is shop lot but all full ady
And I don't have transport(reason, hvnt take lesen due to my mom's unknown reason and idk how to "use"a bus)
And I have absolutes zero experience in finding jobs and working (beside housework lah lol )
I'm chinese but I'm banana to the core ( I can't work in restaurant cause I don't understand what the customer would ask LOL)
I have low charisma cause I have a serious trait in my bone
(_ _)"
And I don't know well enough people whom need a part timer or they live too far.
And I'm quite shy and I have this fear/nervous feeling every time I talk with a stranger ==

So I have a dilemma

But my question is
How do spm leaver find a job?

And PS, I know this post sound very bratty *apologise in advance - -"
