18 months ago

Oh I finally made it here! It took me a while to get organised and get this thing going. I guess all the delay had an unhidden meaning to it.. why I am writing on this day... today 18 months ago another life came out of me, and that life is one of the reason for my being. It is amazing how much love I have for this life.

I have a meaning and reason for this blog. As the title says, Let it out. I have a lot on my mind, one too many 'penny for my thought', and at times it does get frustrating keeping these thoughts on the inside. Like the Malay phrase 'lepas geram'

Music and healing

10 days before his birthday, my father is admitted to the hospital for excess fluids in his lungs and heart. Things don't look too good as the doctors are going prepare him for dialysis in the future; most likely to start treatment in January 2007.

I am not going to lie. I am worried. Living halfway across the other side of the globe doesn't make it easier. All I can do is to pray.. and listen to music.

The CD player has been on all day long. It has helped me keep my mind off worrying. All from the 60's to Enya's soothing melodies. I forgot how music can fill my heart and heal the aching soul.

Here goes..

This blog isn't as user friendly as I thought it should be. I just happen to create this blog in the midst of Blogger's transition to beta.blog or whatever and I simply couldn't not find any key to start posting. No, the help menu was no help at all.. Hmmmm...

Well, here I am. I have a lot to get off my chest, and what better healthier way than to write it down. Oprah Winfrey encourages her viewers to keep a journal so perhaps this is my journal in some way.

So here goes, my first blog. Let it out.
