My eyes fixed on the screen in front of me, the tears that welled in my eyes a second ago flow slowly down my cheeks when I saw a tiny hand reached out from a cut open belly of a woman during surgery. It gripped the forefinger of a doctor that stunned him for a second. In his witty, explicit medical terms, a below 18 weeks old fetus is not human, but fetus, tumor, and parasite in her as he put it in persuading the woman to abort the child that has been diagnosed to have threatened to claim her life if she continues with her pregnancy. She refused to give the consent to terminate the child, Dr. House corrected her, 'it's fetus!'... the ending was both mom and child were saved, a child was born. Well that was Dr. Gregory House if you want to know. One of my favorite on Astrol.
I woke up to find it's a good news, Obama sworn in as 44th president. First ever black, 'and its first African-American leader' as BBC put it. He isn't very black as he's mixed of black and white parentage. However, giving a hope with his plans for the US economy and the ending of the war in Iraq. He is expected to earmark billions of US dollars for stem-cell research, advancing a field of medicine that promises the end of misery for millions of people worldwide.... I have tears in my eyes.
While outside the house, the high pressure cleaner spraying sound is loud indicating a conscious of the need to keep up the good appearance of the house during Chinese new year, clean new look as Chinese are preparing themselves to welcome the lunar new year. Less then a week to go, three more days to be precise to Chinese new year's eve big dinner, where kong kong, po po, uncles, aunties, big and small nieces and nephews come around, dinner would be served like every year with auspicious prosperity-eight to everlasting-nine course meal to welcome the new year, this remains the important event in most Chinese homes.
A Bintulu's friend just informed me Sibu-Bintulu road is inaccessible following these few days heavy pour. He may need to fly home. I once heard on the local radio, weeks away from CNY on a Chinese channel broadcast saying, to all 'dear beloved children, please make the effort to go home to be with your parents this CNY.' That somehow one reminder don't forget them. Have a great CNY, everyone.
