I was reading bulletins in friendster when I came across this so-undescribable-story and it really touched my heart. I think I should share it with all of you. And I also think that quite a number of you might have already read this story before in forwarded mails or so. So, here it goes....

When you're down to nothing, God is up to something.

She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room.
She said, "How is my littleboy ? Is he going to be all right ? When can I see him ?"
The surgeon said, "I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it."
Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer ? Doesn't God care anymore? Where were you, God, when my son needed you ?"
The surgeon asked, "Would you like some time alone with your son ? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university."
Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to her son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair.
"Would you likea lock of his hair ?" the nurse asked.
Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut alock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.
The mother said, "It was Jimmy's ideato donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else. "
I said no at first,but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom."
She went on, "My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could."
Sally walked out of Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car. The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room. She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She laid down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep. It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Laying beside her on the bed was a folded letter.
The letter said , "Dear Mom, I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you,just 'cause I'm not around to say "I Love You". I will always love you,Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know. Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD ! And guess what,Mom ? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom ? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'Where was He when I needed him ?' "God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children." Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool ? I have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm sure the food will be great. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore. The cancer is all gone. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery ! How about that ?
Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.

I am greatly moved by this story. But it doesn't mean anything if I didn't take actions right? So, I've done mine part. What about yours?

.with love&hugs

snoooweeeeey~~~

tanya ; that's me~

thinking of something? hehe

.coolOut

haywired

Teacher went out station to work today. I'm handling this nursing stuffs all alone, by myself. *proud* I think i handle it quite well but of course there's some stuffs I can't help laughing at; myself.

So, this is how the story goes. There's this girl-student came in ...
me : 예, 어떠케 오셨어욤? (Yes, may I help you?)
student : 소화제 주시겠어요? (Can I have digestant?)
me : 아,예... (Oh, ok)
(Then my hands quickily reached for the sterilized-pengepit and wanted to dig something out from the anti-septic bottle when I realise she isn't coming near to me to get her burning treatment. Then, when I was about to asked her to show me her burned skin I asked this instead.)
me : 아까 모라고 하셨져? 어디가 아프신거에요? (Can you repeat what you've said? Which part is hurt?)
student : 소화제 달라구요. (I've asked for digestant.) (She must have thought that I'm a weird person ㅡ.ㅡ;; Trying to treat her digestion problem with a sterilized-holder.)
me : 소화제요? 무슨 말인지 못알아듣겠어요. (Fire-extinguisher? I don't really get what you mean.)
student : 소화제. 그니까, 소화 안 되는거. (digestant. digestion problem.)

Aaaaaaaaa.... Now I get it! *good grief* Whatelse? I quickly get the medicine and hand it over to her and asked her to fill in her name, school registration number and the department she's in. For your information, 소화제 (so hwa jae) in korean shares the same spelling for the meaning fire-extinguisher also digestant. I know I'm stupid, you don't havta tell me that. I should have known that it's digestant right from the beginning but I thought that she got a burned (somehow fire-extinguisher burned her?? haha. ok that was stupid) so, I wanted to treat her. *Gosh!* This is so embarassing man. ㅠㅠ~
Others I guess isn;t this serious. But all over it as stupid. hwaitinG! I'll do fine with this by tomorrow. Wish me luck~ *lolz* Oh yea, last night I've reformated my dear computer till 4 in de morning and guess what? After installing all the programmes which's needed, I found out that my keyboard couldn't type korean!!! That is stupid!!! All my effort goes to waste just like that. Hopefully I wouldn't need to reformat again because of the stupid keyboard thingy, and hopefully it can be settled just by a few clicks away.
Another to-be-tiring day for me, I guess. After work at 1 later, I'll be shifting my stuffs to my roomate-to-be's room around 2. But Jane wanted to move her stuffs first, so I can have the time to pack the left over stuffs like un-skrew-ing my bed and un-plug-ing my pc. (Already imagining how tiring the job will be)

Ohh YeA! Good news to me~!
2 of my probs already solved.
First, the house problem. After meeting the senior last saturday, we called the owner of the house and he let us renew the rental agreement and will extent it to another 2 years. Then, the seniors will be shifting out by the end of Feb; meaning on the 28th. So, I neither have to wait till the end of March nor travel to and fro from school and home. And of course don't havta tumpang at my friends' hostel. *hiphip hooray!* Everything doesn't go like the way I've planned it, but it still went smoothly as it can be~ This is even better than the plan we've decided on. Only one hope is left, after meeting the owner of the house (which is my part because the rest have gone back to malaysia), hopefully hopefully HOPEFULLY, he doesn't say no after all that he had promised.
Second, dubu-the-maltese-pup. The owner told lianseng on Friday night that the fella who's going to enter their house, could wait till end of March next year. Which also means that, we don't havta worry where to put dubu cause lianseng still can take care of him till before he move to Ulsan; which is around the 20ties-th of Feb. Then, we can afford to place him at the pet shop for like a few days to a week till I get to move into the house in Hanyang; which is on the 28th! This is also like a thousand times BETTER than what we have planned originally!! *gringrin* ThANk GOD. Looks like my prayers had been answered. Man! This is more than being answered, it's a buy 1 + 10 free gifts~!! limited promotion!!! haha... Most importantly, I don't even havta buy anything to get that 10 free gifts! hahahah... I'm on the top of the world~! *yay!* haha.... enough enough.. too high already. K la. That's all for today.

.over&out

pack up your bags and go

pack pack pack pack.... All I have been doing during the weekends is packing and unpacking and throwing and looking ... *fuh* What a tiring weekend for me.

I'll be moving my stuffs into my roomate-to-be's room tomorrow. Everything at home now is in a HUGE mess. With my boxes around, luggage, unformated computer, and tons and tons of rubbish and unwanted-yet-TOO-sayang-to-throw-away clothes, is giving my roomate now a BIG headache, I guess. Plus, with her having exams this week, I was being so unconsiderate. For that, I wanna say, "Sooooo sooo soooo sorry basirah. I promise to clear it as soon as possible. Maybe by tonight, I'll move some of my boxes over to the other room first. Then you'll have more space to relax." I mean if I were to be Basirah, I might have killed myself already. Cause I'll be taking exams next week! What the hell is this mess?? I need the house to be really clean so I can concentrate on my studies. As the house gets more complicated, my mind is a thousand times worst than complicated. It's proportional to tidiness. *annoyed at myself*
So here, I really wanna THANK bash for giving me the let-her-do-what-she-wants attitude to me. *touched*

erm.. till here for today. I'll go get my weekly bread for now; american's next top model season7 finale... hahahaha.... I wonder who will win. Well, I know the results are already out. But I wanna watch it for myself. Knowing earlier is not exciting at all right? I mean like there's nothing to enjoy, the excitement, the trivial, the climax, the mendebarkan's situation *dubdub dubdub dubdub* That's the most important thing right? hehe. K. I'm starting nonsence again.

the ghost of me II

I was thinking of trying to write my blog in korean... but guess what? I can't come out with any idea of what to write... I guess korean is rather harder than I thought. Well, I always think korean is very hard though. But this is like even harder than that... ok I'm starting to spit out rubbish... let's get to the point...
First 고민 - university life
I've always been very scard of hard tasks... Well, if it's not hard then it's not even near to a "task" right? I mean, like DongYang life have always been so relaxing and all. And I really enjoy it... up till now of course. Then, suddenly I felt huge depression because I'm scard that I might really sink, drown. Hearing all the seniors complainning about how hard uni life is and how many assignments that need to be done and how EVERYTHING's gonna be harder and it's very very very different from the life we have had before here in DongYang. Not to mention the subjects that we're suppose to take and all... erm.. maybe I'm just thinking too much. But after remembering what the seniors have always say, "Dalam sume sume 과(department) la kan... 전기(electrical) ngan 전자(electronic) la yg paling bz skali. Kira paling tough la."
(For your information, electronic and electronic aka E&E is a separated department here in DongYang. We learn different subjects, use different textbook, do different projects because it's concentrated in their own major. Whereelse, E&E is like a huge field. You learn a little bit of everything. But basically, the things that are taught are about the same.)
So, this is what worries me most.
Second 고민 - house problem
I've been staying in a so-called hostel (it's actually a one-room apartment which the school rent for us, malaysian students) ever since I entered DongYang. This the result from the seniors who took our house money to pay to the owner of their house which need one whole lumpsome of money for the contract of 2years.
(Another good-to-know information, here in Korea they have a few types of house rental -
first it's called a key-money, well that's what we called it. 전세. Rental money is paid one whole big lumpsome range from 33thousandRM to a few hundred-thousandRM depending on the land value and house condition. If you are lucky, you might get into some "interesting" houses with really cheap price. You know what I mean.. hehe. Contract for 1 to a few years is then signed by both parties.
second, monthly paid rental. 월세. It is paid monthly and the price is also depending on the land value and house condition. But you need to pay a deposite money range from 33thousandRM to a hundreds-thousandRM.
third, also monthly paid room rental. Meals included. 하숙집(?). But in this case, you have to stay with either really old auntie and uncles or should I say grandmum grandpa?It's like being adopted by them. So, at home you need to sleep real early or shouldn't make any noise after 10pm or else you might end up getting some lectures from them. They're like your parents remember? You guys stay together. Oh, and if you don't get back home in time for meal. Say sorry to your tummy.
fourth, hostel-like-mini-apartment. I have forgotten what it's called in korean but you don't need to pay deposite for this type of house, or should I say room? hehe... meals are included but this depends on the owner of the mini-apartment. Each floor consist of ONE bathroom and ONE kitchen and each mini-room is like your store room. Maybe your house store room might be bigger than this mini-room. Study table and bed are provided.There's a few more types but I'm not really sure of it. So I'll just end here. ^^*)
Ok... now the continuation for my second chapter of worries. Erm.. let's see. Ok. Then, now we (my to-be-roomates and I) already booked the house of the same senior which I have mentioned earlier. But, we can't get into the house till the end of March of next year which will really cause us problems as the place which we are staying right now is like an hour subway trip from here to the university. And worst, school will be starting on mid-Feb. Which means we have to travel to and fro from home and school for a month and a half! Imagine. It's like living in Alor Star and schooling in Penang. *gulp!* But this problem is already solved. We will be living together with other friends in the university hostel for that period of time. And now what is left is the stuffs! study tables, beds, cupboards, clothes, bags, computers, and all. Hopefully, there's enough space for us to put our stuffs in the house first before my other 2 to-be-roomates go back to Malaysia this 14th and 15th. Please please please. Please let everything runs smoothly as we planned; moving the stuffs into the house on the 13th. *placing hand together praying*
Third 고민 - dubu
Next. Dubu - my pet puppy. During the 1 and a half month tumpang-ing at friend's hostel, I have no idea where to place him. Cause first, lianseng is moving to Ulsan which is a 4 hours of bus ride from here; seoul. Second, as you all know, Muslims couldn't touch dogs. So, I obviously can't ask them for help. (No harsh feelings ok? I'm just stating out the possiblities I can have to solve my problems. Sorry again if it does hurt some parties. *thousand apologies in advanced*) It's a secondary big problem for me. Then last night, suddenly lianseng said that they might have to move out soon which makes the problem even huge-er for me. how how how?????
Fourth 고민 - DSLR
Recently, I've been interested in this type of camera called DSLR and found this really interesting site runs by a profesional photographer, I guess, who tooks great pictures, I guess, for weddings, advertisements, posters etc. Sounds profesional right? And I think I really learn a lot from him. I have survey a few types of cameras and lens and come out with this. This my wishlist for now~ ^^ *grin*

This the camera I want to buy. It's a model of Canon, 400D. I think it's rather interesting.

And this the lens I'm interested in. It range from 28mm to 135mm. Also a model of Canon, EF 28-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS USM. It also come together with a stablelizer(?) and USM. I think I choose this lens basically because I can focused on little tiny objects to range wider than the human eyes; it's rather useful when I'm taking group photos with wide angels.
(Good-to-know information corner, *grin* human eye is range from 50 to 55mm. While digital camera have smaller range due to it's fixed lens so it couldn't capture pictures like the human eyes can. That's why most of the time you could see the whole group of people or panorama view but it never fits the screen of the camera. This is when DSLR camera lens comes in handy. It's adjustable camera lens have variety of range which you can pick from as small as 18mm to as wide as a few hundreds mm. For more information click here.
NOTE: The smaller the number (**mm) is, the wider the picture view. Means usually for panorama view or usually know as wide angle. It goes the same for the bigger number, it can focused on further objects. That's called telephoto.)
So, that's all the worries I have for now. Hopefully everything turns out right. ^^*

News :
Today is my first day working in the 학생상담실 (Sick-bay office) . That's why I could finally find a little time to update my blog. My job here is to attend any injured/sicked student who come to the sick-bay. And of course be teacher's secretary-like and nurse-to-be. But everytime I attend them, I'll finally end up calling teacher because I have no idea how to treat them. Well, I'm an engineer, not a nurse... hahaha..
Next. After receiving a 2 months holiday from being an english teacher. I finally found myself stuck with another pair of students. I don't know if the mother would like me teaching her daughter or not. But since it's near my house, then it might be a good one cause, first, it's winter and I'm so freaking lazy to move around, and second, I'm a lazy but skinny pig. Haha. Sorry for talking rubbish again. *eeps!*
And FINALLY!! my exam ENDS yesterday. That engineering mathematics is my final paper! THANK GOD!

.THE END
