If you are my sister’s friend - please do comment on my blog. I ADORE comments *wink*

My two girls have been protesting that I have given too much attention to my friend’s Blythe doll. So I have to make up for my girls before they start to stare at me with accusing eyes everything I passed by them.

Milky Way Sugar Blythe in a Country Theme. Hmm….I keep uploading the pictures of my friend’s Blythe. Maybe I should have bought Milky Way Sugar Blythe instead!

This is a Milky Way Sugar Blythe doll which belonged to my friend. I love this doll. She had this mysterious air, a woman with many secrets.

Today is the day where my mum would need to do a CT scan to ascertain whether the ‘thickening’ in the last CT scan is cancer or not. We were really nervous throughout the day while waiting for the results. We saw the CA-125 results first (which the lady kindly showed us before we saw the doctor). The moment I saw the CA-125 results which dropped by 0.3 points compared to last month, I had a gut feeling that the CT scan result would be a good one. The doctor confirmed my gut feeling that the CT scan results turned out to be really good. Whoppeeeee……..my mum and I celebrated by……what else, shopping! It is a huge relief since the last CT scan left us with lingering doubts.

On a side note, the MP3 player I chose for my mum turned out to be a great gift. My mum had been carrying it the past 2 days since I downloaded all her favorite songs and wrote down the steps for operating the MP3 player. Strangely enough, although the MP3 player was a China brand, its operation manual came in all languages except Chinese. I think I must have spent one day just to write the instructions for my mum. My mum had butter fingers and always pressed the wrong buttons but fortunately, I figured out a way for her to press the correct buttons – by using her finger nails to press instead of the whole finger. And I am really, really glad that my mum did not scold me for ‘wasting’ money!

Mum’s loves to sing Cantonese songs. She is in 7th heaven when she discovered a place which offers a live band which she could sing. However, she has this little ‘technical’ problem. She does not know how to operates a DVD machine. So she is reliant on my sister and I to turn on the DVD machine and to select her favourite video karaoke clips. As she feels embarassed about troubling us all the time, she only hums to herself and only asked us to to load her song collections when we are really free. And she stills carry the original walkman around - those that runs on tape so that she could record her singing.

I have been searching for a portable DVD player for her which she could operate. Unfortunately, they seemed to have too many buttons….I know, we take for granted how easily we operate a DVD machine but my mum just cannot do so!

Finally, after searching almost the whole island - I finally located a MP3 player which has a big screen, can do sound recording and has an external speaker as my mum really hates to use the earplugs (which means no nice IPODs, no Sony and all those cool looking MP3). And most, most importantly, they have VERY FEW BUTTONs and correspond to her old walkman.  I have a horrid time trying how to convert dat files (orginal VCD file) to avi file so that she can watch the video clips of her favorite singers.

I have yet to convert all her favorite video clips. I hope to surprise her with this new MP3 machine so that she could watch all her favortie clips and sing along with them without feeling the need to ask me or my sister for help. I promised myself one day I would take a video clip of her with a LIVE band with my camera so that they could be download to the MP3 player. I am sure she would love to show off her singing to her buddies!

I am crossing my fingers that my mum would not scold me for ‘wasting money’!

On a more sober note, mum is going for a CT scan and a bloodtest in 2 days time. I am hoping that the results would show that my mum is really in remission.
