		<title>Thank you</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have raised enough money for my surgery on 3rd August 2010. But not only that. We also raised extras to pay off my debt. You see, I stayed in the ICU for an additional three days last December after a critical brain surgery.
I owe them USD4,500.00 because of this. 
But instead of charging me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Funds needed by Friday morning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My flight to L.A. will depart this Saturday (31st July 2010) as there are no flights on the 1st. Malaysia Airlines is sponsoring our air tickets but we still have to pay airport tax and surcharges costing RM3304. Hence,  my funds needed increased a little. But the fund raised is also increasing.
I have faith [...]]]></description>

		<title>A desperate passion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Raising funds for surgeries in public evokes my deepest emotions. While I waited for Ps. Kevin Loo’s sermon to end in City Harvest yesterday, I prayed. I asked God to fill me with love, hope and gratitude. Let God’s hope and love show through me. Let my presence bring love and hope to others. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pei Lee&#8217;s family has a history of death from surgery complications</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I tend to forget that Pei Lee’s case is different. She inherited NF2 from her mother. Besides herself, Pei Lee’s older sister and brother inherited the gene as well. All of them had passed away from surgery complications. Pei Lee is the last surviving NF patient in her family and is very afraid of having [...]]]></description>

Except for a portable black screen as the backdrop, everything else was natural. He did not even use the camera flash which would have caused my pupils to suddenly contract [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bakery donation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is some cute news. A collegemate’s friend in Australia donated RM1,379.00 via telegraphic transfer. I asked them if sending via PayPal will be better but they said it’s a corporate donation that needs to be recorded in the company account. So I supplied my bank address, SWIFT code and account details. Half an hour [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, a friend bought me two books online which arrived in the mail. They are Tom Rob Smith’s The Secret Speech and Shlian’s Rabbit In The Moon.
Both have hardcover, big font and they are thick. 
I was able to read them with the naked eye few months ago but not now.
