my paternal grandma became more and more stubborn
AND noisy
her health: high blood pressure, diabetes, she need an operation to clear one artery or duno wad at her heart
but she doesn't wan
firstly, she's afraid
secondly, she's old
ans thirdly, she has diabetes
diabetes makes wounds very hard to heal
so ppl who hav diabetes muz tkae extra care
THEY MUZ WATCH WAD THEY EAT!!!
my grandma?
she wans to eat this eat that...
oso, so cant take a take a lot of fluids
or else she would hav water retention and hav to be admitted to the hospital
immediately
my dad, relatives and her frens hav all told her to watch her diet if she doesn't wan an operation.
but she juz wouldn't listen!!!
her diabetes is so serious dat she has to go for the worst case senario
INSULIN
it's an injection which u hav to do it EVERYDAY
if ur diabetes get worse, there is no more help
no more other medication
insulin is the last hope
my parents say dat if she gets worse,
she will hav kidney failure
i dun wan this to happen!!!
a grandma who was chubby and always teases me,
is so stubborn now
and is toying with her life!!
i'm so afraid
wad if she...
i've alr seen my maternal grandpa...
when i was in kindergarten
it was heart breaking
he was the one dat cared abt me the most
it's so cruel!
to hav a grandson not for long and both of them to be separated
life is so fragile
we hav to cherish it dearly
live every minute, every second to the fullest
nvr waste it
u nvr noe when u are going to die
dats why i'm really studying hard now
haiz, my keyboard has drips of my tears alr


enough of this sad story of mine.

coming back to The World is Flat, it mentioned dat the playing field is levelled
meaning?
quoted frm the book (simplified by me =P)
last time, b4 the world wars, ppl are revolutionised alr
u noe, exploration of new land, new inventions like steam engines and stuff
it made the world frm large size, to medium
during the age of world wars to the year 2000, it was a new age again
ppl are now using new machines
technology
and, multinational companies are sprouting everywhere
the internet has just started.
it made the world frm size medium to small
frm 2000 till now, technology enables individuals to connect with the world
start their own businesses
it made the world frm size small to tiny
the playing field is levelled
now, individuals can do their own businesses and rival those big companies
the challenge ard the world is larger
the whites are no longer the superior
they will be challenged greatly by China and India soon
The World is Flat
