'Yes mum, I'll fight monster' - Sunday NewPaper (14 June 2009)

Subject: Fw: 'Yes mum, I'll fight monster' - Sunday NewPaper (14 June 2009)
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 13:53:12 +0800


Little Charmaine Lim is only 4 years old this year, but has been recently been diagnosed with stage 4 (cancer) neuroblastoma, a kind of cancer that occurs in infants and kids, and is fighting for her life.

At a tender age, she is currently receiving chemotherapy at NUH. Despite the treatments, the odds of Charmaine's survival stands at a slim 20 per cent, according to her medical report. There is an alternative treatment called 3F8, which Charmaine's NUH medical report noted, could help boost her chances of survival to as much as 40 to 50 per cent. But this treatment is available only at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. It's also very costly - US$350,000, which is slightly more than $500,000.

For your easy reference, Charmaine's NUH Medical Report is attached (downloaded from her website at http://www.ourfeistyprincess.com/ ).
Additionally, the online weblink of the New Paper is also provided at: http://www.tnp.sg/news/story/0,4136,204956-1245016740,00.html?

Please help to spread this news to as many people as you possibly can (e.g. your loved ones, relatives, friends, present/former colleagues, neighbours etc), so that it could reach out to the people who have not read this particular news on Sunday. Our simply action of forwarding this news to our contacts for assistance may help to save this little girl's life. J

Nevertheless, if you wish to make a donation (of any amount) to help little Charmaine, you may approach Charmaine's mother directly at http://www.ourfeistyprincess.com/

While little Charmaine is fighting the monster (cancer), let us race against time to spread this news in order to find her the sponsors/donors she needs for treatment.

Thank you!

Show your teeth!!!




Our last family shot was when Alice graduated and at that point of time, we were all not married. Years passed and we are now all married... and most of us have kids

Papa and Mama are aging fast...

We should have more of such gatherings in future!

Family bonding is something money can't buy...

When exercising goes down the drain...

Went for a swim at Park Royal Hotel on Beach Road with Min Min, Mich and Lyn.


Lyn just touched down from her Honeymoon and was eager to meet us to pass us pressies and of course we know that its rude to reject freebies so we had no choice but was forced to meet up with the Chix couple for exercising and dinner.



View of the pool...

its kinda scary when its dark cos the there's a very steep slope at the centre of the pool



Mich and Min Min after workout

They are training for their Shape Run 2009!


The "no flash" version is much better cos

dark dark cannot see loads of things...


Me & Lyn


Min Min this photo is doing you no justice!



The poolside bar


The 'potato chips'-looking fan




Off we went for dinner at Golden Mile again :D




Xiao Ji & Ji mao sao (feather duster)


Min Min: Argh!!! Mich stop eating all the pork liver leh!


Michelle: Heeheeheehee... Ok lar... Give you more.
Min Min: Haha... Thanks!

It costs $35 per plate of meat and plus another plate of veggies
(golden mushrooms, tung hoon, veggies, egg etc)

Heh Heh... we took 2 plates

Taken with flash...





All can't wait to eat... very hungry after the swim actually



After sometime, the top of the pot becomes chao ta already...

but the food became tastier after the chao ta portion becomes chao ta



hm... orh orh


Soup is yum yum!




Then we head off to Sunset Bay for drinks.

We were actually searching for a place and Chix couple suggested East Coast Road BUT I
protested going to Old Town Cafe AGAIN!!! Then Chix brought us to a new place...

After driving for sometime along East Coast,

Michelle: Xiao Ji, I stayed opposite (Costa Del Sol) for so long also never see any place for drinks here lor! Somemore I go walk here ok!!

After sometime, we found Sunset Bay!

Michelle = no face!!! :D






Lyn was darn pissed off with this place and swore not to come back again...cos they switched off the lights at our area without letting us know that they are closing and moreover they took away the candle on our table - giving us the sign - Hey we are closing, please go!
Actually I was rather pissed when I ordered my drinks.

I ordred Vodka Ribena and the waiter said, "Its not in the menu!" with an irritating look



Lyn gave us money... its actually facial blotters




erm.... this is NOT MICHELLE lah!!!

Someone is trying to bit the coconut flesh and I quickly take a shot of the moment...

It was funnier when she was struggling with it initially!

Charlotte:
Placing her hand at her eyes there, looking as if she is rubbing her eyes...
(You call that pose? I was puzzled! )







Charlotte's style ~ Socks with whatever shoes!



A curious Charlotte trying to walk the dog = an angry Daddy

Charlotte loves the white pair best but it was pretty worn out so we bought her the pink pair BUT flowers started to drop off... one by one, leaving white patches... My money's wasted!!!
