CHRISTMAS is always a mouth-watering subject to us especially to me. Mom never fail to cook us scrumptious food. This time around, we invited a few friends over to join us. All I can say is that everyone had a fair share on the turkey, the pastas, the red meat and the greens.

Turkey fit for a KING

Leg of Lamb

Shepherd's Pie

Pie for ALL!

Spiral Pasta Salad

Potato Apple Salad

Enchilada

Mushroom, Broccoli & Green Peas

DEFINITION of ABSCESS
~Abscesses occur when an area of tissue becomes infected and the body’s immune system tries to fight it.
~A collection of pus (dead necrophiliacs) in any part of the body that, in most cases, causes swelling and inflammation around it.
~White blood cells move through the walls of the blood vessels into the area of the infection and collect within the damaged tissue.
~When an area of tissue becomes infected and the body’s immune system tries to fight it, pus forms and thus a removal surgery is required.
On the 25th of October, Hub was admitted into PCMC at about 11pm. We thought it would be a normal general check up on his boil but we didn’t know the seriousness of it until the doctor on duty said he would have to stay the night and surgery is required the next morning.
Thank goodness the next day was Deepavali; so I’m off and about to the hospital the next morning.

HI EVERYBODY!
Just to let all of you know that my blog will be temporary shut tight.
Just for a few months until I get my bearings right.
This time, work has taken its toll on me.
This time I’m waving the white flag, you see.
But I don’t think I’ll leave my poor blog to rest,
You’ll never know what’s coming I couldn’t guess
Mom keeps telling me God is giving me a test,
She said, ‘We are the KWOKs’ we do all our best!’
There’s too much work too little time to play,
There’s too much stress not wanting to go away,
New work, new levels, new strategies,
New is the now, old are enemies.
More to think about each and everyday
More deceiving people with hearts of clay
Less time to ponder the dreams I have
No one to tell, pretending to be deaf
Stuck in between which has always been
Stuck in the middle, need a shoulder to lean
Hoping for miracles to come along
Gotta take a stand, gotta feel belonged
Missing what I love to do is far beyond
Sometimes I wish everything would begone
What’s there to wish if there’s no hope
So just move along, just gotta cope
Every end born a new beginning
Every path I take is worth considering
I might fall but will never fail
Because I know I’ve tried, I never bail
Love overcomes all things impossible
Love deceives all that are vulnerable
Love is around when you are dependable
Love is real if you are capable
