The many things to report...

1) My dad's condition - getting severe. Apparently the pain is increasing and he may need to go for surgery to shorten the cortical bone behind his neck, close to his spine. He's been for a few physiotherapy sessions with his neurologist, but it hasn't helped and it's already been his 7th session. If urgent, he'll need to go for surgery this weekend. If not, he was thinking of going back to Singapore to seek a second opinion and do the surgery there.

2) My uncle is not doing well either - he's got vertigo and has been in and out of hospital this entire week.

3) My parents' relationship is still strained (some of you guys know the story) and I hate to see my mum so upset, but there's been nothing much I can do except pray for her. Sometimes I wish I had enough money to support her or enough to hire a private investigator so she would cease speculating and digging and slowly discovering things my dad has done.

PLEASE PRAY FOR:

• His healing hands on my dad and uncle to comfort their pain and prepare them for whatever medical procedures they have to go through. To give them the ease of mind.
• For my parents to learn how to pray together and keep the family together. That my dad will no longer indulge in temptation. That he discards his prideful ways and learn the humble goodness of God. That he will learn how to care for my mum and treat her with respect and dignity like how he has before. That my dad will be a strong role model for both me and my sister. That my dad will rely on His wisdom to know what is right.
• For my mum - I'm so thankful she is continously seeking Him in all she does. Also thankful that God has provided her Christian/Catholic friends for support. That she continues to strengthen her faith and belief in Him. That our good God will continue to protect her, guide her, and encourage her with His many blessings along the way during this hard time. That He will heal her heart in time and prepare her to forgive no matter what. That He be the source in both my dad and my mum's lives to see them through their married lives.
• And for my sis and I, that we continue to remain strong enough to hold the family together in prayer. Especially for my sis, that she doesn't give up on my dad. That she will meet Christian friends that will encourage her, rather than deter her from Christ. I know she is hurting too and really disappointed with my dad, so I just want to pray that her heart is released of all tension, that there'll be peace in her heart and she can afford to let go the hurt.

4) Other than that, the roster is out. My RDOs (Roster Day-Offs) are usually Tues/Wed or Wed/Thur. No more Weekend Sunrise shifts, but there'll be afternoon shifts - but hey, church life, here I come!

5) Bdays are coming up, so I have to shop for pressies soon!
Jessie's bday - 25 July
TY's bday - 28 July
Yee Fui's bday - 28 July
Bell's bday - 2 Aug

6) I have decided to keep my NAB account. Actually wanted to change over to ANZ because of the increasing bank account fees with NAB, but NAB actually sent me another letter and lessened their withdrawal amount. Grrr! I went through so much trouble opening my personal ANZ account, then I had to change my salary payments and other credit payments to that account, and now NAB decided not to increase their fees any longer. How frustrating.

That's really all for now... Will write soon!
