Hand Written Thoughts - What Do They Depicts?

Instead of typing out my thoughts, I decided to have them written down. (Trying to do something different from usual.) Nothing lengthy but a very short one. Honestly I think that my handwriting had changed over the 7 years. After not writing for years, this is the result.

It says that handwriting depicts personality. So, what does my handwriting reveal about my personality? I cannot judge handwriting. I need an expert to judge that. Anyone?  Hehe...

All thoughts written in an A4 size paper that's been divided into 4 parts

Even if f I don't put on a smile, never judge that I'm an "arrogant" individual. I admit that I am a rather quiet girl but I'm very much approachable to anyone. Start the conversation and I will do the same. You will never know if you never try. Though at times, I felt that I always got nothing to talk about. I can be a good listener since I talk less.

So Soon

You left so soon even before I could "stand on my own feet" and understand the true purpose/meaning of life  :'(


It's amazing on how we could relate a song to our real life experience... I often did that!


http://youtu.be/sXN7PjP08To


So Soon


Every time I close my eyes I see you in front of me
I still can hear your voice calling out my name
And I remember all the stories you told me

I miss the time you were around (x2)
But I’m so grateful for every moment I spent with you
‘Cause I know life won’t last forever


Chorus:

You went so soon, so soon
You left so soon, so soon
I have to move on ’cause I know it’s been too long

I’ve got to stop the tears, keep my faith and be strong
I’ll try to take it all, even though it’s so hard
I see you in my dreams but when I wake up you are gone
Gone so soon

Night and day, I still feel you are close to me
And I remember you in every prayer that I make
Every single day may you be shaded by His mercy

But life is not the same, and it will never be the same
But I’m so thankful for every memory I shared with you
‘Cause I know this life is not forever


>CHORUS

There were days when I had no strength to go on
I felt so weak and I just couldn’t help asking: “Why?”
But I got through all the pain when I truly accepted
That to God we all belong, and to Him we’ll return, ooh


>CHORUS

Buatku Disana

Buatku Disana 

Sering harungi sendiri kekurangan diri
Hanya tuhan mengerti
Tak mengharap sang cinta mahupun dicinta
Umpama tiada rahsia

Kau sinar hati ini
Biarpun hanya sesaat di sisi
Pelita kala hati berduka
Kau hulurkan oh tanganmu kala hilang arah


Masihkan hadir jua menepis gelora
Tak kala aku merasa kecewa
Duniaku berubah kelam tak bermakna
Namun semangatmu ada dijiwa


Harapan kau beri cintamu bersemi
Air mataku tak bisa menitis
Kau nafas akhirku
Kau yang dihati

Usah menangis sendiri sayang ku kan pergi
Senyumlah usah meratapi
Kala ada masa kita ditakdir yang Esa
Cukuplah buatku disana

Kau sinar hati ini
Biarpun hanya sesaat di sisi
Pelita kala hati berduka
Kau hulurkan oh tanganmu kala hilang arah

Ohhh

Aku bagai bintang menghiasi alam maya
Meninggalkan kilau tanpa sinar yang bercahya
Detik percintaan persis satu anugerah
Aku pinta hanya bercinta

Masihkan hadir jua menepis gelora
Tak kala aku merasa kecewa
Duniaku berubah kelam tak bermakna
Namun semangatmu ada dijiwa

Harapan kau beri cintamu bersemi
Air mataku tak bisa menitis
Kau nafas akhirku
Kau yang dihati 

Ohh.. huu

The New Paper
Friday, May 25, 2012

When The New Paper visited Madam Norleen Osman's one-room flat in Ang Mo Kio a week ago, the child sleeping in the middle of the room started to cry.

When Madam Norleen, 33, propped up the little girl on her lap for the interview, she would not stop screaming.

The housewife felt the need to apologise on her only daughter's behalf. She and her 28-year-old husband also have three sons, aged 16, 14 and one.

"I'm sorry," she said. "She's on morphine right now. She's very cranky."

Four-year-old Adlea Ry'Kyla Muhammad Ghazali, known affectionately by her loved ones as Nur, was diagnosed with myocarditis in 2010, when she was admitted into KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH) for vomiting blood.

Myocarditis, simply put, is an inflammation of the heart, commonly caused by a viral infection. (See report on facing page.)

Nur was just a year and seven months old then.

Now, only "six per cent" of her heart is still functioning.
The stark truth facing her parents: Unless Nur gets a new heart soon, she will die.

Said Madam Norleen: "The doctors aren't even talking about years or months. They're talking about weeks."

Nur's only hope is a heart transplant in a country where paediatric heart transplants are not available.

Associate professor Wong Keng Yean, senior consultant of KKH's cardiology service in the department of paediatric subspecialties, told TNP that there is currently "no heart transplant programme for children as young as Nur available in Singapore".

Complications

To complicate matters, her heart inflammation has caused her kidneys to deteriorate, which in turn has caused her abdomen to bloat until her tummy is now twice its normal size.
When Madam Norleen tried to help us photograph Nur's bare stomach, the little girl objected tearfully.

She was so distressed by her condition that she kept pushing her dress down to conceal the tube underneath that is attached to the side of her body.
Every morning and evening, Madam Norleen would remove the plaster around the tube, unscrew the tube and then insert a syringe to drain out the yellow fluid collected in Nur's stomach.
The little girl's bloated stomach, pressed against her other organs, also causes her to suffer from breathlessness, severe pain and a regular fever.

As if this was not enough suffering, she also has a wound on her right foot, the result of a doctor's attempt to attach a drip.

The wound, which became infected, oozes pus.

Nur is now on a daily cocktail of diuretics, morphine and heart medication, and a diet of rice and soup with as little salt as possible.

Said Madam Norleen: "Anything she eats, she will throw up. But she likes chilli a lot and curry too.
"When she was hospitalised at KKH, the nurses even had to add a little curry to her food as a special order."

As Madam Norleen gave Nur a container with a small amount of tomato ketchup, the little girl stopped crying.

"Look at her," her mother said. "She can't resist anything red."

Nur dipped her index finger into the container and licked the ketchup on it.

But soon after, she began protesting again, prompting Madam Norleen to place a container underneath Nur's chin.

Making a few heaving noises, Nur threw up some orange fluid.

During our hour-long interview, she threw up two more times - and all she had had was the ketchup.

With Nur's condition deteriorating rapidly, Madam Norleen's is becoming more desperate for a heart transplant to save her daughter.

She and her husband have sent applications to various hospitals overseas.

They received their first reply on May 6 from the Royal Children's Hospital (RCH) in Melbourne, Australia.

The hospital acknowledged receipt of their application and asked for Nur's scans and medical reports to be sent to them.

They also gave a quotation of A$85,000 (S$107,000) for the expected cost of the heart transplant surgery and treatment at the hospital.

Madam Norleen, whose husband earns $2,200 a month working as a security officer, was worried about how they would raise the money.

But bad news followed when she received an e-mail from RCH last Friday telling her that the hospital is "unable to offer heart transplantation to overseas patients".
The next day, Nur - who had been suffering from breathlessness, jaundice and vomiting - had to be re-admitted into KKH and was warded over the weekend.

Her foot infection has also worsened.

Prof Wong explained that it is "very difficult to set up drips for patients such as Nur due to the severe swelling from heart failure and limited drip access sites".

Dr Arjandas Mahadev, head and senior consultant of KKH's department of orthopaedic surgery, said:
"This infection is a known risk when setting an intravenous line, and may spread in situations of general poor health and immunity."

Last Monday, Nur underwent a two-hour procedure to excise the infected tissue on her foot. She is now warded in the hospital's intensive care unit.

But an e-mail from the Boston Children's Hospital in the US acknowledging receipt of Nur's scans and medical reports has given Madam Norleen another glimmer of hope.

"I just hope she stays strong," she said.
"She's a fighter, I can see."

The housewife, 33, felt the need to apologise on her four-year-old daughter’s behalf. "She’s on morphine right now. She’s very cranky,” she said.

Her daughter, Adlea Ry’Kyla Muhammad Ghazali (above), known as Nur, has myocarditis - a rare heart condition. As a result, her kidneys have deteriorated and she has a bloated abdomen, which presses against other organs, causing breathlessness, severe pain and fever.

The only hope for Nur is a new heart, but there is no heart transplant programme here for children as young as Nur.

Now, her parents are looking overseas to try and get her a heart transplant.

According to Mdm Norleen (Nur's mother), the doctors at KKH said that there is almost "no-hope" for Little Nur to survive. They said she has less than a month to live.

Well, we are not going to set an expiry date on this poor child or say that Nur has "no-hope" to live, but we need your help.

We look forward to have your support, everyone.
