Of Throat Cancer and Ice Kachang

The rest of my mid-term break has been busy-ish. Been dealing with alot of things...family, friends, relationships etc etc. It's been trying, but still can tahan. Brought grandpa to the clinic to do up his mask for his radiotherapy. We're going to go ahead with the therapy, hope everything goes well. Too many risks involved already...but still better to have a chance at curing than not.

If u look carefully, you will see the hole in my grandpa's throat. This was caused by throat cancer which occurred 20 years after he quit smoking. They had to remove his 'voice box' to prevent the spread the of the cancer. Yeah...so now he breathes, coughs, and expels phelgm through that hole. Abit scary, but that's what happens when you get throat cancer I guess.

Then of course, you have to carry a little card that says you need to receive air through the opening. Needless to say, you cannot talk anymore as well. So...please don't smoke ok? If not, this is totally possible. Of course I am biased against smoking, so don't be stupid enough to ask me to smoke also hor...offering me cigarettes is a BIG no-no...I breath enough secondhand smoke when I go clubbing already (which is not very often, but still bad enough).

I like ice cream! I bought this while on my way to Cathay to do my data collection for my EL module. Yummy...though I missed the days when this DID NOT cost ONE WHOLE DOLLAR. Heh. Then this week I had more sweet desserts...

I went out for supper with Des on Friday night/Sat morning. He was so nice...come and drive me at 130am in his nice red sports car! Haha...so we drove to Lau Pa Sat and had PEANUT ICE KACHANG! Ok, he had the peanut, and I tried the kiwi (this was a terrible choice)

The kiwi one had a strange reaction with my plastic spoon. It caused the spoon to become super soft and translucent. Very very freaky...and by the time I realised, I had finished half the thing already. I didn't believe Des at first, but he promptly stuck his spoon into my bowl, and true enough, 5 mins later, his spoon with limp and translucent as well... *freaks out*

This was the true star of the evening! It's like covered in peanut sauce, and sprinkled in chopped peanuts too! DAMN SHIOK! Only $2.20! Very good! The slightly rough-yet-smooth textures in the mouth go so well with the finely shaved ice. So you get this very VERY interesting mix of textures in a very rich, nutty amalgam of heaven! Hahaha. BAGUS!
