People.
"Having people is better than having no people"
- Grey's Anatomy, Season 5 Episode 19
Ain't that the truth. I don't know how I would have gone through the past couple of months without people around me, mainly my family and friends. The support they provided was enough for me to get through every tough obstacle. When I was down during the infection & during post surgery, I always tried not to show the aftermath of pain that was a constant visitor during the night as I wouldn't want them to worry, their visits when I was in hospital was always the brightest point of my day, it always lifted up my spirits, made me forget my worries/pain and made me determined to get well faster. Then there are the student doctors and student nurses I made friends with. I loved talking with them and they visited me when they can. I was surrounded by people and it mattered. I don't know how it would have been then if I had no people around me.
"Trauma always leaves a scar
It follows us home, It changes our lives
Trauma messes everybody up but maybe that's the point
All the pain and the fear and the crap
maybe going through all that keeps us moving forward
it whats pushes us
maybe we have to get a little messed up before we can step up"
- Grey's Anatomy, ending: Season 5 Episode 19, Narration by Alex Karev
I know of friends who are going through a tough time. You may not confide in me but that is okay, you have your own demons to kill, obstacles to overcome but I know you will find a solution and come out stronger. I'll always be here if you need a friend. gambare! *hugs*
I had an awesome day with my sisters yesterday. We chose to take an alternative route to our destination, we ended up having lunch at the airport before taking the bus to the Esplanade where we spent most of our Saturday. Caught the Baybeats 2009 final round of auditions in the afternoon, had dinner at Gluttons Bay and watched an excellent performance by Rima Rasif and her band in the late evening. We kinda missed the first two bands during the Baybeats 2009 auditions but some notable mentions were performances by Audiocean, ExDee, Quasimodo, Meza Virs and Stellastory. And I have to say for a black metal band, Meza Virs is worth a listen.
The initial plan after the auditions was to go for the Earth Hour event at the Merlion Park but after dinner we decided to just stay at the Esplanade and watch the band performance at the Outdoor Theater at 8.30pm and I think that was the best decision ever. Rima Rasif and her band consisting of Amos and Roberto on guitar and the electric guitar respectively were needless to say AWESOME! She was hilarious and her laughter was infectious. She is an amazing performer and got the audience singing along to popular tunes like Rehab and Sweet Child O' Mine.
Look who secretly followed us! Rodney!

On a totally random note, I received a handwritten letter in the mail and I have no idea who it is from. Apparently from the contents the person knows me but the big question on my mind is, "How did he get my address?!?!?!" Meccha scary lei, especially where the letter originated from. I won't blog much about it but I just might reply just to find out who the sender is. hmmz.
