The 2009 Year End School Graduation and Performance was on 25 October 2009 at the Sri KDU hall.

Folks! We had a great & awesome time at Qdees Mutiara Damansara Concert. Well actually the kids all of them were great entertainers la.

They all looked so cute & you should have seen the way they twist & shook their bums………well we all say cute cos they only 6 yrs & below………once U add a decade in there you’ll be shaling your heads in disapproval.

We had an awesome time at the Cell Host Dinner on 1 November 2009.

This dinner is specially hosted by Glad Tidings to thank all the HOSTs that open up their homes week after week for cell groups all over PJ, KL and beyond. Thank God for blessing us our church with 100+ cells, so you can imagine how many people came that nite!

Here’s a collage of some of the photos that we took. I had the fun and honor to help Daniel & Amelia & Jon & Cindy with the photo taking, as the guests all came dressed up for a Red Carpet event! Nice classy dinner with a nice crowd and good food !

This is because  Adrian lent us his Canon super zoom lens 18-200mm and his super nice Flash!

Adrian's Lens & Flash

We have been enjoying the lens & flash for two weeks, zooming and taking photos!

Its nice.. when u dont need to get up close to take a “close up” shot.

Just sit where u are, and let the lens zoooooooooooom in!

Nathanael Smiling

With the flash, u can see the clarity of the photo, and also the sharpness, otherwise, this shot would be pretty yellowish.

Zoe Joy Laughing

Zoe was laughing non stop at a scene she was watching, and we managed to capture quick succession shots of her laughing with her hands in action closing her mouth.

Love the Canon DSLR photos. Thank you Adrian!!

I really went there with no expectations of the outcome. Spoke to a random nurse at the reception area & to my surprise she was very helpful. She asked for the MRN number & she disappeared through the back door & in less than 5mins came back with a paper in hand…….and I was like……that can’t be..Nate’s it must be some other patient’s documents……….but it was!! And there I was ready explain to her why I needed the report etc….and she just came to me & said “ini dia…..report” wah…..I was like WOW!! Just like that huh…..thank God!

So I hurriedly read the report la….as though I know & understand it la……but anyway…..here is what the report said. Perhaps if you are a doctor or a neurologist you can shed some light into this mumbo jumbo medically high sounding words.

Findings:- There are prominent Virchow Robin spaces in both cerebral hemisphere. No abnormal signal in the brain parenchyma in all sequences. No focal lesions seen. No midline shift or mass effect. Ventricle & fissure CSF spaces are normal.

Impression:- No Significant abnormality

So there you have it the written report….but we’ll have to wait till the next appointment with the Doctor before we will fully comprehend Nate’s results. They need to actually compare the previous MRI films with the latest MRI. In recent years the MRI result is only made available online—-yup no films. So I wonder how they can see the difference. Hmmmmm… So anyway, our plan is to bring our previous MRI films to the doctor & see what they have to say.

Thank you for your continuous prayers…we covet them.

 It all started at 650am this morning, when Nathanael woke up to have his milk – his last meal prior to the MRI Scan.

We packed up, woke Zoe up and left home by 8am. Due to Malaysian monday morning traffic we had to use alternative roads (toll paying roads) to HUKM.

We passed the Curve, took Penchala Toll, cut thru Sri hartamas and took the Kerinchi Link to Federal Highway and turned off into the road leading to Taman Desa and drove on to the Cheras toll. Yups super long but no traffic!

When we arrived at HUKM, Nathanael was registered at the MRI section. And as usual with the lack of clear instructions from the hospital we were asked to walk thru a maze of corridors to reach the MRI scan room. Ariving at our final station so fast was pretty amazing. Then the clerk told us that we had to go up to the peadeatric ward on the 4th floor to sedate Nathanael.

And this was how the adventure began . . .

So off we went retracaing our steps thru the labryinth of corridors until we got to the main hospital corridor. We found an elevator and we all jumped on the ride up.

At Peadiatric Ward 2 on the 4th floor, we had to pass a form to the nurse and get Nathanael registered again. So we had to wait till the nurses were ready to weigh Nathanael and then wait again for a doctor to insert a line into Nathanael.

Although its unnecessary for a patient to have his hand poked, pierced and for a needle to be retained in the hand. However the procedure was to do just that to ensure there was a quick access to administer any medication in a state of emergency.

So poor Nathanael had to suffer that little poke. We were pretty thankful that he did not put up a big fuss or scream (we distracted him with his fav music) and voila the insert was done.

So once that was finished, as kiasu parents, we wanted to hurry back to the MRI Scan room so that we wont have to wait a long in line. (for parents who waited in long lines at Govt Hospitals, u know what we mean by looooooong lines)

So back to the lift lobby, fly down 4 floors, walked and half run thru the criss-cross corridors of HUKM ans finally at last to the MRI room.

Thank God we were  patient #2!! God is Good!

So the hospital staff said that it was time to sedate nathanael. (in my past experience, the hospital staff would be there to help us with sedation bit). Here we were on our own! We had a 20ml syringe… and thankfully because we’ve fed Nathanael numerous times with the syringe, it was not tooooo foreign to use it.

So we doped Nathanael with the syrup. I didn’t exactly get to try it, perhaps if I did, Tiff would have to drive us all home! (this brings Don’t Drink “Syrup” And Drive up a whole new level); anyway, so we popped all the 20mls into Nathanael … and after like 12 minutes, Nathanael was snoring away! The nurses on the fourth floor actually gave us a second dosage/syringe of Chrloral Hydrate Syrup, just in case the first one doesn’t work. Yeah it goes well with the proverb, if at first you don’t suceed, try, try again!

As I was saying two paragraphs up, I was expecting some help from the radiologists or the nurses or doctors at the MRI station. But NO….. they were all busy! In fact they were all busy typing and looking at things behing their monitors. I managed to walk into their work area, they had like six 19inch monitors tilted “potrait” style with numerous black & white photographs on it. But everyone seemed to be busy behind this one guy.  I think this dude was the person in-charge and he was busily looking at his Monitor and calling all his colleagues to come look ….. so i busy-body also go look! Guess what ? .. it was Facebook! They were laughing together at a recent party that they had. Doctors have Facebook too!! And what’s wrong with surfing while at work … we all do to! haha

Anyway after our boy slept! We quickly informed the busy doctors & radiologists, and Nathanael was put down to sleep on a bed outside MRI Room 2.

We had to wait for another patient to finish before Nathanael could enter. Tiffany said she will go in with Nathanael. I figured it would be fun, to throw metal objects at the MRI machine when it was at its peak of operations and see really ..just how strong the magnet was…. but Tiff, insisted  … so she stayed in with Nathanael. (boys & big magnets …. = lotsa fun!)

So finally …. Nathanael was laid to lie down still. (For those readers who have not realized yet, in the MRI Scanning machine, you are not suppose to move. Tell that to a kid! and you know it won’t work! – in fact tell the kid that we will wrap u up with towels, and put on a “Darth Vader” helmet over you and then stick you into a square machine which makes awful sound … and then Don’t Move!) Guess not hor! So understanding that all of that is futile, the best remedy is to sedate the child so that they will be in a deep sleep and not resist and not spoil the image during the scan).

Tiffany said that in the room, she was trying to orchestrate a new musical that went along with the rhytym and banging sound of the MRI scanning machine. It went something like … Bang Bang Bang … wheeeeeeeeee wheeeeeeeeeeee …… Bang Bang Bang Bang …. .wheeeeeeee wheeeeee ….. mebbe the maintenance peeps forgot to WD40 the MRI machine!

So after 40 minutes of banging and wheeeiing, TIffany came out of the room carrying Nathanael. YAY!! The MRI Scan was done and was successful, Nathanael didn’t move an inch during the scan … well mebbe a toe moved, and now we’ll most probably have to wait several weeks for the results to be out.

Finalllly of the finally, we had to climb up four storeys again to the peads ward 2, and see the nurse. By then Nahtanael woke up. So the nurse asked us to test if Nathanael was ok, by giving him some water to drink. If he drank the water and did not vomit, he was fit to go home. So Nathanael gulped down lots of water, cos he was fasting since early morninig .. and thankfully no vomitting!

By the time the nurse removed his bandage on his hand, it was just about noon! Poor Nathanael … what a torturous morning it had been. But we are very glad to see that he’s doing well, and responding in his normal behaviour. Though he was a bit tipsy when he first woke up. He was literally swinging ….. [we actually have a video of that.. but guess we will not emabarass our son too much online!!]

Thank God for a fruitful day with the MRI scan going on smoothly, we ask for your prayers for Nathanael that the results of the MRI scan will be positive.

Nathanael in the car ... early morning

We ask that you pray along.

What is MRI?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is primarily a medical imaging technique most commonly used in radiology to visualize the internal structure and function of the body. MRI provides much greater contrast between the different soft tissues of the body than a CT Scan does, making it especially useful in neurological (brain) and other areas.

Tomorrrow morning at 9am Nathanael is scheduled for a follow up MRI scan.

His last one done was almost 3 years ago.

Please keep him in prayers as he will be sedated & admitted for a few hours for observation.

We as always appreciate your prayer support.

We won’t have the results immediately, that would normally take another 4 weeks or so.

Please keep Nathanael in prayer!

Sorry this is a delayed post…I know some have been waiting for us to post this entry up since a few weeks back! hehehehehhe anyway—

It was a gorgeous sunny day as we head out to Kiara Park at TTDI. It had been raining the entire week leading up to the raya holidays. Everyone was looking forward to this fun time together. All of us prayed that the Lord will give us good weather—and HE DID!! Praise the Lord!

So yeah, one of the rare occasions that we got the entire Tang family together. Seriously there about 20+ of us. Well we missed out on the presence of two aunts and their familiy. One had to be in Kuantan & the other was busy with family commitments.

The family gathered to a healthy start of the day by going round for their excercise. LIKE REAL la!!! hahahaha…..so healthy. Usually families gather together to eat…..so we thought why not do something more healthy & meaningful…..FAMILY EXERCICE!

Of course still got food involved la—- PICNIC ma…..yeah but healthier spread u know…..aiyoh for got to take photos of the food la.

So anyway, we grabbed this opportunity to capture as many shots as we can,create history…..cos how often we get to do this? Once a year?  Oh ya since we had the group together….we celebrated our son Nathanael’s 5th Birthday! Thank God for 5 beautiful years!

ENJOY the photoblog!

We celebrated Ma Ma’s birthday at a Japanese Restaurant recently and we some yummy Japanese food!

I like Schien cos the people there are helpful and caring, they have been helping me on my progress, and to touch up my shoes when little fixes needs to be done.
