Bought a New Glucose Meter! & some vents..

Arghh...i picked up the courage and bought a glucose meter! im that kind of pple who are so scared of needles, and wont wanna do it everyday. But i need to know my condition, so got to do it. My mum pricked me, I still dont really dare to diy... u know that kind of feeling!!

My morning reading after fasting for 10 hours.

I know its still high, but compared to the time when im hospitalised, it's already a great improvement! in hospital, the lowest i can go without insulin is 11+ and can shoot up to 14+ after food. Yesterday nite i did the test 2 hrs after dinner, and its also 8.6.

Now..let me aim for 7!!!!

I've not been eating any fried food for nearly a month, so i tink it really helps!

This is my blood pressure taken in the morning after the prick test...

not too happy with the results...maybe bcos i've already started to eat outside food and its way more saltish than home cooked of course...

And another ting is..my pulse/min seemed to have dropped alot. Previously my pulse is about 70+ always..and now its slowly goin down to 60s and 50s. DO NOT EAT OILY/FRIED FOOD AND YOUR HEART WILL BE HEALTHIER TOO!! Always remember that...

Look at my breakfast for this fresh sunday morning..

haha..i baked the wholemeal bread. I know i shouldnt be eating 2 bread but...i just cant resist it..hehe..anyway its 2 small buns...not big...compare with the size of the egg yolk...its not too big afterall...n ate some organic mesculin salad.

It's really relaxing on sunday morning! finally an offday! but next month onwards i got to teach on sundays too...so i will be working 7 days a week =( and i tink some kids are contributing to my higher blood pressure. Nowadays...kids...haizzz.....some of u really cant imagine.....they dont even respect me, im like a slave to them....like a nobody in their eyes.....show me attitude...like i owe them money....theres even one student who said someting really ridiculous to me, "you are collecting money from my mother every month, why are u taking our money? if u take our money, u should use it to buy X box for us" arrghhhhhhhhhhhh....I WAS LIKE....SHOCKED~!!!! Opened my eyes big!!!!wat should i do? And wat can i do? I mean i love kids..although they treat me like that i still love them, but its just that moment...they just get on my nerves..arghh!!! And nobody can imagine wat other tings they did to me, its way too ridiculous to be believed. Any of u can give me some advice on this?

OK la..no more complains..Ciaos~~~~

With lotsa love,

Coraine

After working for a few days....

Ytd, i bled alittle down there...and was abit afraid cos I walked alot the whole day...and even baked whole meal bread straight after i ate my dinner at about 9pm. Cos reached home from work at 8.30pm.Baked all the way until nearly 1am.


Feedback of the whole meal bread is realy good!!!! but it's abit unhealthy cos i added about 30g of butter instead of 10g stated in the recipe. I ate one in the morning and it was soooo GOOOOOOD!!


I will bake again on this sunday!will reduce the butter this time...Wanted to post the pictures here, but the pic was lost in the midst of transferring! so weird!


B4 i log off, show everybody a picture...

First attempt in making chiffon cake!!!

YEAPPIES!!!! I did it I did it!!!! My first chiffon cake!!!!! and its green tea chiffon cake!!!!

OKOK i know it cracked alot, I had a super hard time getting the cake out of the pan! but its still delicious!!!WAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

It's not easy to make a chiffon cake u know, because its very hard to gauge whether u have underbeaten or overbeaten the egg white, or is it just nice..?? hmmm....i tink many pple have these doubts.



NOW I PROUDLY ANNOUNCE FOR MYSELF TO ELEVATE TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF THE BAKING STAGE!!!



I couldn't help but eat 2 pieces when i cut them up! its just too fluffy and soft till I cant resist. AAAAwwwwww....the sense of satisfaction!!!!!

no worries...i cut down the sugar to only about 3 table spoons for the cake. And I halved the amount of the ingredients in the recipe, BCOS...im so afraid that i cant make it, so wont waste so much. Plus this recipe calls for whipping cream for coating, but fattening u know..and im lazy to go buy, just use wat i have at home. And this is wat i get!!hahaha!!SUPER HAPPY!!!

I tried to bake sponge cake a few times which also required egg white beating and failed all the time, they always have a soft layer on top and a hard layer below. SOooooo thats the ting~~~~the technique of egg white beating!! I will be very very careful next time...and try more cakes!!

P.S: All my fonts are in green BCOS......The green tea chiffon cake is so green!!!!!!!!

With lotsa lotsa lotsa love,

Coraine

First day out with fren after my op

Hi Hi!!!!

Went to parkway with Zi wei...a very beautiful lady...~~but too bad she dont wanna let me take a nice nice pic of her..can only see her side view..!

we went to Ichiban for lunch..she ate the ichiban bento! and i ate the salmon steamboat...nice nice! and super full!

We 2 are really farny...can talk about anyting in the world...but our topics are more on HEALTHY FOODS, FACIAL STUFFS & GUYSSSSSSS............................................HOHOHOHOHO....and we are also very auntie...go around Giant and Cold Storage to look at foods' nutritional facts and discuss and argue........arghh...crazy us....too free already!!

I bought a pack of organic blueberries and blackberries!! and psychoed Zi wei to buy a packet too...HOHOHO...not cheap lor... i cant only eat other fruits nowadays...i only eat guava...blueberry...kiwis..hohoho...nice nice though...

LET ME UPDATE SOMETING:

EVER SINCE I EAT BETTER, I FOUND OUT SOMETINGS...

1). My scalp is less oily, and my hair dropped alot alot lesser...so i guess my hair loss problem started with all my unhealthy eating habits...Now i pray hard that they will grow back.

2). I used to have very dry and bad breath, even when i drink alot alot or even take some sweets. Now..it changed alot! first few days i asked my mum to be my testing machine to smell my breath and she said it smell like some old wet table cloth. And these few days..she said no smell! thanks mum for smelling my breath!hehehehehe....

Eating Right is the BEST!!!!!!!! BEST!!!!! but im spending a pile on organic foods...too much i guess....

Will update on my weight again! still stagnant! But im eating right, so no worries!!

ADIOS AMIGOS!! (-_-)

With lotsa love,

Coraine

But theres one ting farny about this shabu shabu, the soup = clear water i dont know why, so i poured the dipping sauce into the water, but still bland, so i added somemore shoyu~~~..there were tomato, cucumber, shredded veg salad with some sinful vinegar sauce, an eggy soup, a bowl of rice. Normally i wont be satisfied with just all these, but this time was really full! woo hoo...

Continuation of my story

OK! Im here to rattle about my story again!

To make it short, i will just say briefly about the happenings after i found out theres a "demon" in my womb...

I found out the fibroid is NOT a cancer...but there is no scientific prove that it wont become cancer..nobody knows...and nobody knows wat caused it...mayb due to hormones...eating habits...and all other reasons....many many reasons....

The farny ting is after i've found out i have this tingie, i kept goin to different gynaes and go for scans. I tink i've changed about 5 gynaes since last yr end. And ended up with Dr S F Loh, a private gynae in KKH. He is very compassionate and the best doc that i've ever seen. Many Thanks to Rinoa from M4M forum for intro-ing Dr Loh to me! God Bless You...

Ok..besides goin for scans, I had lots of TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE...ALL YUCKY!! And didnt help me at all! i even went to a temple to "ASK GOD". ALL THANKS TO MY PARENTS LOR!! and the "god" said its my own health problem i need to find a doctor. which is right! BUT MY DAD...insist that we should go all the way to malaysia,endau, (5hours drive from sg) cos he know a very fantastic chinese physician...and guess wat..this physician didn't undergo any TRAININGS...i tink u guys cant imagine wat i put into my mouth...just to yucky to talk about it. ok..i will skip this part. THe problem is my father is very against of me going for any op, he said it will spoil my body. *crap* and i went to many many more chinese physicians after that. the "famous"ones...i wouldnt dare to go back again!

*DISCLAIMER* : NOW I WANNA WARN ALL READERS, IF YOU ARE HAVING YOUR MEAL OR HAVE A WEAK HEART, PLEASE DO NOT SCROLL DOWN ANY FURTHER, YOU MAY PUKE OR EVEN HAVE A HEART ATTACK.

I was admitted into the hospital on Monday 9th June 2008, the day b4 i had some sodium saline for me to clear my bowels. IT'S SUPER DUPER POWDERFUL!!! The wastessss just came out smoothly and flow out like u r urinating..

Day of admission,

my pressure is still high, try to relax! drip on insulin, asked my family and Boyf to go back as I don't want them to worry. So...i was wheeled in the operation room myself~~trying to be brave...pretend to read magazines...smile at everyone...I'M SUPER SCARED OF NEEDLES ONE...but this time amazing! i am very brave!

after 3 hrs...im out! with an oxygen mask..(sorry to show my ugly hair ugly face ugly everyting!)

cos my oxygen level is very very low after i wake up, the nurses call out to me "hey dear don't scare me..if you don't improve I have to call a doctor now" I breathed in and out in and out with the oxygen mask...it got beter..then the sound DOOO DOOO DOOO came from the oxygen count machine again...its low again...but they still wheeled me out, i saw my family and winked at them..WAHAHA..and i PUKED BLOOD straight away. Whole nite was drowsy with the gas and puked a few times. it was not so painful. they took the oxygen mask out the next morning.

Let me explain wat is laparascopic surgery, Look at the ugly picture that i've drawn below.




So Basically they cut 4 holes each 1 cm thru my skin and many layers down till they reach my womb and do it from there.

HERE COMES THE GROSS PART..IM GOING TO SHOW YOU MY FIBROIDS!! My scans only showed 2 of them, but there are actually 4 demons in my womb ! 2 big and 2 small!

*DISCLAIMERDISCLAIMER*BEWAREBEWARE*

Gross enough rite...actually i still have a few more pics..but better dont show incase any of u fall sick...but just to explain abit...the top 2 are the smaller ones...and the bottom one...as u all can see..is so huge!the biggest is 7cm+ ! FREAKY !

B4 i end this post...i should show all of u some beautiful tings to make u gals feel better...MY DOGGIE!!!hehehe...

Cute hor??hehehe...always remember beautiful tings ok...

With lotsa love,

Coraine

My Progress of Lossing Weight

Dear readers,


I've already lost 5kg in a week! eating right....its a shame to say that i didnt exercise at all...i just do some walking at home since i cant move much after the op.


But eating right is already helping me, so imagine if i exercise??? i can lose even more!!


b4 my op...my fav was POTATO CHIPS...FATTY MEATS...LAMP CHOP...ROASTED DUCK....French Fries....all these are out of my meal plans now...and its also amazing that I dont feel hungry at all now! ok...if im abit "greedy" and feel like biting someting, i will eat some veg raw or Low salt Hi fibre wheat biscuits...


Change your diet and it will definitely change ur health and life! For my case...my Blood Pressure was on the high side can even hit 200/110 and doc even prescribed me with high blood pressure medicine to lower it down. I was procrastinating at that time, but still got to take it in order to go ahead with my Op. I stopped taking the medicine 2 days ago and my pressure is soo good! reading was like 110+ or - / 70 + or - . But if u've taken the High Blood medicine for a long while, please do not stop it suddenly...u will most probably have a stroke! always monitor your blood pressure closely! i take the test about 6 times a day now, with my own machine of course.

And they also discovered and suspected i have diabeties during my hospital stay...my blood sugar is always 11 and above...theres only once lower, which is 9.8 after dripping the whole big bottle of insulin b4 op. When the needle was poked into my blood vessel, my blood splashed out! its kind of gross, and this is my first time on drip. this needle was in my vessel for 3 days and made my hand and fingers alllllll numb...worried la..cos my hands are very important to me, i earn a living with my hands...

I will buy a test kit and prick myself to monitor and control my GI.

I will try my very best to keep my diet as healthy as possible, even when i go back to work. KEEP MY FINGERS CROSSED....

With lotsa love,
Coraine

PS: wanna know wat i eat daily?? hehehe...

Everything started here.....

Right now, I'm recupurating at home after my laparascopic surgery. It's already been a week, and decided to blog about my past experiences and upcoming happenings. Eg: losing weight and gynae follow ups and maybe pregnancy! Now i'm goin to start from scratch (the day that i discovered something is growing in me), pls bear with me...i will be posting slowly.

-----------------------------------

Nov 2007,

I had some problem and went to a gynae at bedok central. Doc advised me to have a routine check up. This is the first time of my life seeing a gynae. While gynae is bz asking me some personal questions while scanning, she said "wow..why are you so unlucky? You are so young and you already have a huge fibroid..?" at that time i'm 24 years old. The fibroid is already 5cm which is considered big...for my age...i was sooooo soooo soooo sooo sooo shocked that i freezed and my mind went blank....i didn't know how to react....and what to say. Í feel very alone and confused.

----------------------------------

This gynae was also not so compassionate, she just gave me some brochures about fibroid and "drove" me out of the room. B4 i step out of the room...guess wat she said?????? "if u r afraid that your boyf will run away, then don't tell him about this" i was like, HUH????????WAT THE????????? ok...i was basically just stoned at that moment...

----------------------------------

i called my Mother and Boyf right after i'm out and after telling Boyf, i broke down and cried. It's a big deal for me at that time, i didn't know wats goin on...is it cancer?? is it dangerous?? i know nuts about all these!

---------------------------------

i even forgotten to foot the bill, just walked straight out of the door to interchange......imagine how devastated i am....

--------------------------------

Creating this blog and writing about my story, my main objective is to let all ladies know....its never too early or too late to go for scans...do not be shy!! its better to know earlier...trust me...these tings grow real real real fast! It's too too common nowadays.

---------------------------------

This is how huge my fibroid is...sorry for poor picture quality as i took a picture of a picture...hehe...
