ECLIPSE...

today is suppose to be Eclipse in the morning ... so excited cause it was said that this is the longest eclipse ever in 500 yrs... hope to see something soon...

This is apparently also an unprecedented opportunity for observers in China to find out whether gravity fluctuates during an eclipse. This phenomenon was first observed in 1954. The July eclipse, at over five minutes, will be the longest total solar eclipse predicted for this century.

What's more, the event will occur when the sun is high in the sky; a time when any potential gravitational anomaly should be greatest.Solar eclipses have long been associated with calamity. And the media has some stories about this upcoming eclipse with efforts by scientists to dispel such notions.From an email from Channel U Promo:

This Wednesday 22 July 2009, a total eclipse of the Sun will be visible to some parts of the world, making it the longest total eclipse in the 21st century. The path of the moon’s umbra begins from India and crosses through Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar and China. After leaving mainland Asia, the path crosses Japan’s Ryukyu Islands and curves southeast through the Pacific Ocean where the maximum duration of totality reaches 6 min 39 sec.Seen from Singapore, only 10 to 20 per cent of the Sun will be obscured. However, audience will get to catch the sensational moment of total eclipse live on Ch U.From 8 - 11am on 22 July, Channel U will simulcast live with China Central Television (CCTV) which will present live telecasts from key China cities - Chengdu, Wuhan, Tongling and Hangzhou where the total eclipse will be seen at its most spectacular. A half-hour special highlights will be shown at 11.30pm on the same day.

the world needs healing & love

What's wrong with the world mama?

People living like aint got no mamas

I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama

Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma

Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism

But we still got terrorists here livin

In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK

(not only USA ... here in s'pore within our own indians oso have... not only indians but humans who are neighbours... )

But if you only have love for your own race

Then you only leave space to discriminate

And to discriminate only generates hate

And if you hatin you're bound to get irate

Yeah madness is what you demonstrate

And that's exactly how anger works and operates

You gotta have love just to set it straight

Take control of your mind and meditate

Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all

People killing people dying

Children hurtin you hear them crying

Can you practice what you preach

Would you turn the other cheek?

Father Father Father help us

Send some guidance from above

Cause people got me got me questioning

Where is the love?

It just ain't the same all ways have changed

New days are strange is the world the insane?

If love and peace so strong

Why are there pieces of love that don't belong

Nations dropping bombs

( emotional bombs & emotional hurting chemical gases )

Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones

With ongoing sufferingAs the youth die young

So ask yourself is the loving really strong?

So I can ask myself really what is going wrong

With this world that we living in People keep on giving in

Makin wrong decisions

Only visions of them livin and

Not respecting each other

Deny thy brother

The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover

The truth is kept secret

Swept under the rugIf you never know truth

Then you never know love

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder

As I'm getting older y'all people get colder

Most of us only care about money makin

Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction

Wrong information always shown by the media

Negative images is the main criteria

Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria

Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema

Whatever happened to the values of humanity

Whatever happened to the fairness and equality

Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity

Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity

5 Blessings on Sunday

19/7/09

As usual, like everyother sunday mornign i woke up & went to YCCA. Praise & Worship was solid by aunty Ester b. HA. People use to cindemn her & say she cannot make it but today her worship was really really good. Due to her humble heart God has really blessed her. As usual went sermon. I was only very upset that i had to money for offertry. The end was Michelle's cake cutting.

Usual after church ends Jenefa or myself will msg mummy ( Jenefa & Jason Mum ) and ask what she cook. When Jenefa msg her she replied " No money haven't cook " we were scared cause there was no food at home & even worst none of us had money to buy anything back to cook. Walking out from church Jenefa told me, never mind miracle can happen. I told her miracles can happen, yes but God has time only inbetween the time we left church and the time we reach home.

Let me talk about the 5 blessings...

1) When we went home there was prawn sambal to eat. ( ON A DAY WHERE ALL HAVE NO MONEY & THOUGHT HAD NO FOOD , AMAZINGLY IT WAS PRAWN SAMBAL )

2) Jason's pay was not suppose to go in till 20/7/09 after 2pm. But when he checked on 19/7/09 his pay went in.

3) When Jason calculated his pay, it is suppose to be only $440 but in his bank he had $530. ( FOR HALF A MONTH'S PAY AFTER CPF DEDUCTION & ALL THIS IS STILL ALOT. )

4) I was broke for the whole week but suddenly i had money with me. I had $70 to run the week & that is amazing for someone whowas broke for a week.

5) That was the last day of pasar malam under Jason's blk. We were sad that we could not buy any burger from there but before closing we went down to buy.

This are the 5 blessings which I saw right infront of my eyes. I could not believe that such things happen. But I learnt that if you believe in God he will do miracles.

=)

FUNERAL

12/7/09

Shanti akka (Jason’s Cousin Sis) she passed away @ 3.30pm. she was diagnosed with Small bowel cancer. What is that? I had to go and do research & stuff to find out. In the end I found out it was the small intestine.

Cancers affecting the small bowel are rare. In the UK approximately 750 people are diagnosed with a small bowel cancer each year.

The small bowel forms part of the digestive system and extends between the stomach and the large bowel (or colon). The small bowel is divided into three main parts: the duodenum, the jejunum and the ileum.
The small bowel folds many times to fit inside your abdomen and is approximately 5 metres (16 feet) in length. It is responsible for the breakdown of food to allow vitamins, minerals and nutrients to be absorbed into the body. Although the small bowel makes up three-quarters of the digestive system, cancers in this area are rare.

(BASICALLY SMALL INTESTINE)

There are four main types of small bowel cancer and they are named after the cells that they develop from:

Adenocarcinoma:

These tumours start in the lining or internal skin layer of the bowel. They are the most common type of small bowel cancer and usually appear within the duodenum.

Sarcoma:

These tumours develop in the supportive tissues of the body, such as the muscle or fat. Leiomyosarcomas are sarcomas that usually grow in the muscle wall of the small bowel. These more commonly occur in the ileum.

Another rare type of sarcoma is gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST), which can develop in any part of the small bowel.

Carcinoid:

tumours arise in cells that make hormones within the small intestine. These tumours appear more commonly in the ileum and sometimes within the appendix.

Lymphoma:

These tumours start in the lymph tissue of the small bowel. The lymph tissue is part of the body’s immune system. Usually small bowel lymphomas are of the type known as non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and appear more commonly in the jejunum or ileum.

Causes of small bowel cancer
The cause of most small bowel cancers is unknown. However, some people with non-malignant (non-cancerous) bowel conditions may be at higher risk of developing small bowel cancer. These include Crohn’s disease, coeliac disease, Peutz-Jegher’s syndrome and polyposis. Small bowel cancer is not infectious and cannot be passed on to other people.


Signs and symptoms

The symptoms of small bowel cancer are often vague and difficult to diagnose. They may include any of the following:

blood in the stools (bowel motion)
dark/black stools
vague, crampy abdominal pain
weight loss
diarrhoea.

These symptoms may be caused by many things other than small bowel cancer, but symptoms that are severe, get worse, or last for a few weeks should always be checked by your doctor.

Occasionally the cancer can cause a blockage (obstruction) in the bowel, which may be complete or partial. The symptoms of this are vomiting, constipation, griping pain and a bloated feeling in the abdomen.

Sometimes a blockage in the small bowel can cause the bowel to burst. This is a serious condition that usually occurs suddenly and will need to be treated with surgery. The symptoms include severe pain, shock (a drop in blood pressure) and abdominal swelling.

It was so sad to see her parents crying so badly. She was only 34 whe she passed away. It is very sad to know when someone so young passed away, firstly its due to cancer but you do not know what lead to it. Loosing a daughter @ such a young age is very painful as a parent.

13/7/09

Today was her funeral i took half day at work and wenbt for her funeral. I saw many loved ones who were there to pay respect for her funeral. Something which just struck me was someone do not have to be a famous person or have a post in life to be respected and loved by many.

Many things which i saw also shocked me was the way some people behaved. The way people behaved really pissed me off. Did they come for a funeral or Deepavali celebration?

After the crimination most of us went back to the house of Shanti Akka, her photo was in the middle of the hall so we had to go there pay respect like touch her photo & put the finger on our hearts ( a form of saying she will always remain in our hearts ) . Some idiots did not even bother doing that they just rushed in sat for the food than complaint why this one don' have and that one don't have. I felt so bad for the family and people could give such comments. How dumb?

After everything i was thinking about my death. What would happen if i died. Who would come who wouldn't ? Who would cry outside laugh inside? Who would be real sad?

If I were to pass away i want my coffin to be in white & the only flowers i want is white roses. I do not want any other flowers. I must be wearing a white dress.

Ha. so much for attending just 1 funeral.

Hope Shanti Akka would REST IN PEACE =)
