Tribute to Mom

When I was born, you first looked into my eyes,
Tears of joy filled yours as I cried,
Although I didn't know why,
But you brought me to this world, that's no lie


I remember the time I started to crawl,
You were there with me to help when I fall,
Even when I did and I cried,
It wasn't long before my tears turned into a smile


As I grew up I knew it was hard,
Times I gave you trouble but you never took it to heart,
For one thing I will always remember about thee
You taught me to forgive others the same way you did with me


Time passed by and I knew it wouldn't be long,
Time to say goodbye to mom,
Though I know you're gone from earth to your Maker,
Till we meet again, Thank you mom, you were my Creator

The Curse of the Eclipse Mouse

Work was hectic today but somehow it wasn't too bad. Reuben and Nisha were becoming worried about the pain in the jaw I have been having for sometime and suggested I do something about it e.g. get a second opinion or ask the doctor/dentist for options. Sigh why is my life full of unanswered questions?

As the title of this post implies, despite having 24 Tier 7 cheeses, none of the mice dropped the pot for tier 8. To make matters worse, the last cheese was a FTA (fail to attract). Well, at least I caught the Necromancer Mouse but it looks like I have to start all over again. Now hunting at Digby for Triple B.

Mother's Day Without Mom?

Yeah, 3rd year without mom and I still remember her words "You won't know how important someone is in your life until they're gone". Well, I actually smsed Han Zhang since we claim each other as our brothers to wish his mom for me lol XD. Why not? She's his mom and still a mother. I sent smses to all my aunts who have children.

My aunt Karen joined us since my grandmother was with us and we had lunch at Asian Rice Pot in SS5A. Food was delicious and worth the money. Came home and you can guess what I did. Yep, MouseHunt! Still in Tier 5 collecting Tier 6 pots. I went as far as Tier 7 and only caught the Fiend Mouse but hardly attracted the Necromancer Mouse or even got the pot for Tier 8. I guess that's gonna take up alot of my patience.

Jaw tension is still there but not as bad as what it was. The medication really makes me drowsy so I have to counter that by going to bed early at night but wobble abit during the day. No wonder my badminton was dreadful yesterday heh.

It also happens that today is World Red Cross Day where the founder of this international humanitarian movement; Jean Henry Dunant was born on 8 May 1828. Nothing much really on this side but there was an event going on at Tasik Titiwangsa.

Mother's Day ended with the cutting of the cake by my grandmother. My cousins; Cesca and Fabi joined us. Nobody knew what to sing for Mother's Day until my cousins started singing "Ibu, Ibu, engkaulah ratu hatiku"" lol. I guess that's better than some other weird song. Overall, the day went well.

An unusual day

Woke up at 5am this morning forgetting I have no work and decided to logon and play MouseHunt. Had breakfast with grandmother and talked with her abit and dozed off. Woke up to get lunch for both of us and just when I thought of mouse hunting, there was a problem with the game.

Well headed for badminton and swimming at Han Zhang's place with Jason joining us. No idea why my badminton was terrible today. Poor HZ got "bullied" in the water but no harm done. Since HZ had to leave as he was going out with his mom for mother's day (which is actually tomorrow), both Jason and I headed for mcd joined by Hafiz later. Well, I must say Hafiz is really kind and helpful despite me bullying him a little. Jason came to my rescue today just when I was in trouble. We had dinner at Asian Cafe and headed back at 12.

Well, tension in the jaw is still there but not as bad as what it was previously. Just hope it goes off soon. Time for me to retire to bed.

MouseHunt Progress and TMJ Disorder Relieve

After several failed attempts in catching the Paladin Mouse in Tier 6, I finally caught the rodent. Well, I guess patience is a virtue. Not 1 but 2 within 10 minutes apart from each other lol.

12:35 pm - King's Gauntlet
I sounded the Hunter's Horn and was successful in the hunt! I caught a 11 oz. Paladin Mouse worth 25,200 points and 2,500 gold.

12:45 pm - King's Gauntlet
I checked my trap and found that I had caught a mouse! I caught a 1 lb. 12 oz. Paladin Mouse worth 25,200 points and 2,500 gold.

To add further, I also got my first Gauntlet Potion for Tier 7 and caught 3 Fiend Mice with that! I was hoping for one to be the Necromancer and the other with the potion to tier 8 but oh well. Can't have it all.

1:43 pm - King's Gauntlet
I sounded the Hunter's Horn and was successful in the hunt! I caught a 6 oz. Sacred Shrine Mouse worth 19,500 points and 9,000 gold.

The mouse also dropped the following loot:
1 Gauntlet Potion Tier 7


2:14 pm - King's Gauntlet
I sounded the Hunter's Horn and was successful in the hunt! I caught a 14 oz. Fiend Mouse worth 72,000 points and 50,000 gold.

The TMJ pain has somewhat reduced but the pain in the ear is still there but the doctor said that'll go off soon. Still get the tight feeling around te jaw but not as bad as what it used to be. Well, let's hope I recover without having to go for further tests or the go under the dreaded surgeon's knife.

Progress

Pain has somewhat reduced but had nausea from the medication so the med was changed. Thanks to everyone for their well wishes and support. I am on the road to recovery. No more paranormal movements of my jaw from now on. However, let's see what happens when the medication completes next week if I can stop relying on them.

Yay me! I have moved up to Tier 5 in the King's Gauntlet and kind of stable armed with Clockapult of Time and Tiki Base since Tier 5 is Shadow. So far, 1 FTC but that's okay. Let's see if I can catch the Eclipse Mouse this time around.

Problem resolved? Or do we have to continue searching?

Already a week since I last posted? Been too weak to sit and type and now I am slowly recovering. Last week, met up with Jason at Berjaya Times Square for lunch. Saturday was CPR demo in SMKKJ and lunch with HZ.

Well, after going to ENT with the jaw mobility and TMJ check, I have been sent back to the dental team in regards to my problem. I just wish these people would do their job properly and stop chasing me around. This time, I was referred to Professor Shanmugam from the oral surgery team and Dr. Aung and another person attended to me discussing my problem. Something I never thought of was I had this habit of moving my mandible to the left and right aka paranormal jaw movement which is not good since it's supposed to move up and down only. He threatened to wire my jaw if I continued to do that lol. Also, to take small bites when eating. Followup next week. Forgot to mention that a cute mouse was at the ENT department sitting in a hole of a chair leg looking all round lol. I called it out and the little rodent came out but before I could catch it, it ran into one of the consultation rooms lol. I hope it didn't frighten the doctor :P

Pain has somewhat reduced and hopefully we will see the end of this saga too. Been 2 months I have been suffering. Nothing exciting otherwise except for being in the King's Gauntlet in MH and World Red Cross Day coming up on Sunday.
