My Wonderful Dutch Mail

Dutch Mail



I have received my mail from my Dutch pen-pal, Angela in last week. As always, Angela has given me surprise with her wonderful mail. From the pictures, we could see that Angela has spent much effort for the mail, for example, the packaging.

 

Angela is always enclosed some gifts to me besides the letter. She would enclose the Dutch tea as usual, and this time, she has sent me a Dutch birthday card, a mini toy and a bad hanger. Of course she has enclosed her wonderful letter too. I am really appreciate her kindness.

 

Angela has written in the letter that she and her family have went to Dubai for summer holidays for she did not enjoy so much. The reason was she has lost some of her friends in the flight #MH17 which was happened on 17/7/2014 that the plane was shot down by the missile. She was feeling sad to hear the news.

 

However, she has written in the letter that Dubai is a wonderful city and it is really luxury. They had stayed on the palm Jumeirah hotel which called Atlantis. In the hotel, there is a big aquarium and an aqua park. People could feed the sharks, dive, and swim with the dolphins. It is like a fairytale and so spectacular beautiful.

 



Dutch Gifts

According to Angela in the letter, Dubai has 35 malls and they had visited 3 of them. They also went to the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa with 839 metres high with 124 stories. The view was fantastic and they had seen the Water world show and boats in the Marina.

 

I am so jealous of Angela's Dubai holidays as I had been to Dubai for transit when I went to Italy for my trip in few years back. However, I have no idea that Dubai is such beautiful. Anyway, I would like to thank Angela for her wonderful mail and gifts. 



Dutch Letter and Gifts

Lastly, to Angela, thank you for your wonderful mail and wish we could be a long-term pen-pal.Once again, thank you. :)

My Winning Prize :)

The Prize Gifts

 

Horray! I am one of the prize winners for naming the duo pandas who have came to Malaysia. I have won the prize for naming the male panda "Xing Xing". Frankly speaking, I also have forgotten that I have submittied the entries for naming the pandas contest after the PM has announced the grand winner.

 

However, on 25/8/2014, I have received an email from NRE (Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment) to inform that I have won a prize for naming the male panda. I have doubt about the email and thus called to the NRE to check and also to check online if this was a real email. Finally I have confirmed that I really have won a prize after spoken to the person in charge for sending me the email. Wow! I was so happy and excited to wait for my prize then.

 

I have been waited for about 2 weeks and finally on 15/9/2014, I have received my prize via courier service and it was a big box as shown on the pictures above. I then opened the box excitedly and OMG, there are many gifts inside, as you could see on the picture above. The gifts include a giant panda book description, bookmarks, wristbands, a mug with panda picture, a handmade red necktie, a thermol flask, and also a certificate for me for participate the competition.

Thank you for the NRE too as according to the person in charge that I have spoken on the phone, some of the gifts are special made by NRE for the winners.

OMG! I Almost Celebrated My Mid-Autumn Fest at the Hospital!!!

9/9/2014 was the day of the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival. It was considered as one of the major Chinese Festivals. However, on the early morning of 8/9/2014, 3:30am, I was having hemorrhage, i.e. coughing out blood and my mum has rushed me the hospital for treatment.

 

This was my third time of the hemorrhage since Year 2011. I was sent to the ER of the hospital for the treatment and then only been sent to the ward by afternoon on 8/9/2014. I was so shocked that I was having such sickness again as I was just having my chest follow-up on 13/8/2014 and the chest specialist has informed me that my condition has improved based on my Chest X-ray. The doctor even told me did not need to go for further tests except I have to put on some weight.

 

Gosh, I had not imagined that I was then having the reoccurance of the hemorrhage after about 2 weeks after my follow-up! :( So, when I was given treatment in the ER, again, my hands had been inserted needle for the line and taking blood for test, chest x-ray, etc.. I was put on the oxygen mask to let me breath smoothly.

 

The doctor has arranged me in an isolation ward as they suspected I was infected pulmonary tuberculosis. The room was for one person. All the nurses, doctors or any visitors who came into my room were required to wear the mask for protection. I was given antibiotic treatment. The doctors came to examine me after I have sent to the ward and he had postponed my CT scan to the next day and he told me to rest for the day. Thus, I was  postponed my CT scan to the following day as instructed by the doctor. I was thinking that how long would I be staying in the ward for this time as the next day would be the Mid-Autumn Fest. I was feeling a bit sad then when this crossed my mind.

 

I needed to take some medicines thrice before I went for the CT scan due to I was allergy to some medicines. Besides, I had to fast before the CT scan too. So, by 11:30am of 9/9/2014, I had sent for the CT scan and the procedure was taking about 10 minutes maximum. After that, I could eat my meal as I was hungry. My mother has returned home to prepare meal for me and I was alone in the ward. I was listening to the songs, surfing net or playing games on my mobile to pass the time. Of course I also took some nap to rest.

 

By 3:40pm, the doctor came to my room and told me that she could discharge me by today as I did not infect any tubercolosis based on my CT scan result and the reason for my hemorrhage was due to my heart problem. She told me that I could go back home already and I required to have regular follow-up then. I was so happy to hear it and I quickly called my mother to inform her that the doctor had discharged me and I could return home. So, I started to pack my stuff and waited for my mother to be here. By 5:30pm, we finally received my discharged documents and we left the hospital and to go home.

 

Finally we reached home by 7:15pm as there was traffic congestion on our way home. I was so glad to be at home even I was at the hospital for 1.5 days but it was still a suffer for me! Anyway, I was glad that I was at home for the festival as I was almost "celebrated" the Mid-Autumn Fest in the ward!

Lastly, I would like to thank all my friends and relatives who had sent me messages during my hospitalisation, I would like to inform you all I was fine and I would take good care of myself to recover from my sickness. Thank you all for your concerns! May God bless you all!!! :)
