Eyra's Presents

She made these to welcome me back home from the hospital.

It's an intricately designed handicraft she.made for me.

Oh ...even a small flower was inserted into the ....hmmm...are those songpyeon? Chuseok's ricecakes?

Jeruk Mandarin

Atau 귤 kyul....memang blm musimnya saat ini. Namun demikian, tak berarti mereka takada di pasaran. Hmmm...walo harganya 6,000 won utk sebungkus....kalo sdh ngidam...ya sdh embat saja. Eh...hari ini...utk ukura mn yg sama harganya turun jadi 4,500 won. Syukurlah.

Freya's Choice

Yup....these are what she chose out of the so many pairs and colors.

She loves them....that's what counts.

Met Chuseok, ya. . . Frey.

Nana finally came to Korea after planning it for like 2 years ....^^but...when she did...I was still.recuperating^^

Thank you for visiting us, Nana.

...then...Riezqa and Azimil also.paid a visit to our home. Of course...they're treated like our dearest friends and guests.

They did enjoy the meals ....mie ayam....siomay...prepared by my wife....

..and...pukis. cheese and pandan flavored pukis.

For the past 2 weeks I've been craving for papaya. Yes...it's impossible to find a decent papaya here in Korea. Thank God....Our dearest friend ....Viska brought 2 of them! Hawaiian papayas.

Viska and my wife @Ramada Encore where Viska was staying during her 3-day Seoul Visit.

Thank you Vis.

Hospitalized for 4 Days!!!

Finally....I was at the lowest circle of my health. I couldn't bear it any longer. I was....in the end...Hospitalized.

Three doctors diagnosed....... .......and I got to be in the hospital. I had no.choices. I was 48kg! I lost 4 kg in a week!!! 

Now that I am HEALTHY^^ and retelling about it....I feel how blessed I've been that I can go through those days.

BLOOD CULTURE, Uncountable times of BLOOD TESTS, ct scans of the whole body, injections,...

Anyway....let's just forget those.

.............

서울의료원 was where I was hospitalized. Got a chance to snap those butterflies.....at the atrium of the hospital.

Yes....No matter how distressed and powerless I was....I got to make myself awake and realized what my surroundings were like.

Thank God...my daughters were so patient and attentively taking care of me...in their own ways.

Freya was reading me a book.she brought from school.^^ yes...it really cheered me up.

Being a vegetarian and....Hospitalized at the same time.....was no easy feat. Not to mention....that my tongue was not ready to taste any strong-flavored food....yet I got to eat. The hospital was kind enough to prepare vegetables for me.

Hmmm.....some recollections...

I just didn't want to remember the details....

More meals.....3 times a day.

Alhamdulilah.....now I am.healthy. I'm back. I regained my health. ..my energy...

And....after 2-week of being lost and gone....now I'm back to my blog retelling where I'd been for the last two weeks.

*Alhamdulillah....I'm fine and healthy now.

Looks Yummy.....But..... @서울의료원

Where was I?? It's definitely a restaurant or a canteen to be axact. It's a Fre~Fre canteen within the complex of Seoul Medical Center or 서울 의료원!

What was I doing there? Yes...I went to see a doctor since I just couldn't bear it any longer. Since it's lunchtime and....I got to eat something....

We decided to have it a try. Udong looked yummy but since I was in a state of limbo...disoriented. ....with a shivering cold....I COULDN'T even taste it.

*seeing these pictures made me realize how I missed the good stuffs when I was ill.^^

Acupuncture @Haneuiwon

Last week on 15 Sept. I was having a severe cold and headaches. I thought that I was going to have a cold since it's the changing ofvthe season.

Surely I took my prescriptions and....decided to go to a nearby 한의원 where I had a treatment like acupuncture and blood-cupping^^

Did it help? To.a certain degree....it worked...a little. I still had my severe cold and headaches.....and my temperature reached 40 degrees Celsius!!! Yes....I was in.pain. ....a severe one.

Gosh.....actually....rewriting what I was experiencing is not an easy thing to do. But....for the sake of my diary...I got to.

Anyway....going to 한의원 was just the beginning...

Just what I needed!!+

Oops..I was so excited that I didn't take the picture correctly. I trembled...

I got to eat this Jeonju kongnamul kukbab to get rid of the shivering cold in my body. I didn't feel quite well....so...the idea of having this specialty is what came to my mind. And I did.
