Mama and her best friend, mbak Ulfa @ Kyunghee

It's true, so they say, that..to enjoy the spring of cherry blossoms at Imundong, one does not need to go as far as Youido or to other town since right at the back our backyard, there are trees adorned with cherry blossoms.^^ 

What I mean by backyard is no other than our beautifully cherry-laden Kyunghee University. Well, this is Mama who's been eager to go here just for the sake of capturing the image of herself with the cherry at the background, of course.^^ 

And this is Mama's best friend, mbak Ulfa--who likes going out, too, as I found out. 

What do you think, mbak Ulfa? this one is worth-going to?*

Lots of trees are adorned with these white angels dangling from atop.... 

Walking right through it seems like ascending into a heaven on its own.

A Day in Eyra's Life at the Hospital

Eyra was hospitalized for a week. She got a high fever and the doctor had to examine all-full body USG Scan for days now...But, she seemed to be okey apparently. Anyway..I just wanted to post an entry about one hour we spent at the 2nd floor of Kyunghee Hospital where Eyra was treated.

First, she asked me to buy her a balloon with a pink dolphin in it. ^^ 

She looked so happy when I put some air into the balloon that finally made it float as if some water had been pumped into it. We were sitting at the 1st floor veranda where visitors and patients could talk and take a rest...

Now, we were outside at the second floor where some recreational facilities were there for anyone to enjoy. One of them is a pond with some big fish in it....

Eyra and her sister, Freya, were happy to spend an evening together while enjoying their snacks. Eyra was seen with her injection attached to her. She got herself got used to it already by the 2nd day.

Even a pigeon wanted to stroll along the plaza...

Now, it's time to take a rest with their Mom. Some other patients were also having some time with their families and relatives. Eyra --although I knew it was though for her-- seemed to enjoy the moment.

They never seemed to stop liking the pond. They kept coming back and forth...

Then, off the went into a foot-spa or some rock-and- stone-made walking path where we could walk on it barefoot. They seemed to be enjoying it.

Freya tiptoeing. Eyra tried to figure out how to get her 'equipment' could tag her along.^^

Then..off they went to another....corner to do something else...

Oh, I see...they wanted to try on using a rocking chair or ...was it a swing? Yes. 

I just could not stop admiring how persistent Eyra was....

Despite her condition, she insisted on playing with her sister...

....Oh, swell...they were back again..at the pond and started again..chatting with them ( I assume)^^

Other kids were pouring in. 

oh, ...well...they were back again on the swing. This time, they were sitting on the other swing. 

Took a shot of what the situation at the 2nd floor looked like at that particular time. 

Now...for the last time that day..they were running, walking, chasing one another...

Gosh..sometimes I came to wonder if she was alright...^^

A relief. Now, they were back to the room The room where Eyra stayed for a 6-day treatment at the hospital was somewhat not-that-big, but it could accommodate up to 4 patients with their families. 

This time, Eyra and Freya were playing cards and coloring books. They looked so busy.

Never have they been this persistent in coloring and making stuffs. To make it more peculiar, Eyra had to take a rest at that time, but still..she did not want to. Instead, she kept playing with her toys and coloring pages.

Ok, girs...now stop playing and start looking at Daddy. Say 'Cheese'!

Eyra, you were hospitalized..and...this has been a tough but at the same time...an eye-opening and full of blessing days for all of us.
