Helpless mum starves to death
27 October 2006
FOR days, the old woman watched her only caregiver and daughter's corpse rot in front of her. Madam Teoh Guat Hoe, 84 was reportedly so frail that she was not even able to shout for help from her neighbours. Her daughter, Ms Stella Ooi, 57, is believed to have died after falling from a chair, reported Guang Ming Daily.
Without her daughter to give her food and water, Madam Teoh eventually died of starvation.
Their rotting bodies were found on Tuesday afternoon, after neighbours complained of a stench from their two-storey terrace house in Ipoh. They are said to have died seven to 10 days earlier. A neighbour, Madam Zhong Yamei, said she had at first thought that the smell was from a rotting cat or dog. But when she peeked into the house and saw Madam Teoh lying unresponsively on her bed, she called the police.
BODIES IN SAME ROOM
The police found Ms Ooi's highly-decomposed body lying face-down in the living room.
Her emaciated mother, who was in adult diapers, was lying dead on her bed facing Ms Ooi's body. Madam Teoh's right eye was also decomposing by that time. Police are ruling out a possible break-in, as the bodies showed no signs of struggle and there were no signs of robbery.
According to Madam Zhong, 70, Madam Teoh has been bedridden for almost six years, after a fall at home. Madam Teoh was unable to speak and relied heavily on her daughter to take care of her. The pair kept to themselves and rarely spoke to neighbours, she said.
Madam Zhong also said that Madam Teoh has four other children, including a son who used to visit them often. Madam Teoh is suspected to have starved to death, but the cause of Ms Ooi's death could not be ascertained because her body was too decomposed.
Although this is a 3-day old story, reading it the second time still makes me feel so sad for them.

Destination Finale. Biennale at Tanglin Camp.
Finally completed our Singapore Biennale 2006 trip with the places that we wanted to visit. Today's places that we visited are Singapore Arts Museum and Tanglin Camp. As the exhibits inside Singapore Arts Museum are not allowed to be photographed, I decided not to take any of them. And worst of all, I can't find the signboard that states "Singapore Biennale 2006: Singapore Arts Museum"!! Darn! And so, we made a quick visit around the museum and headed down to Tanglin Camp. For those who do not know where is that, it's actually quite near to Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
A couple of people drove to Tanglin Camp I can see. Cars parked down the slope just below the camp with adults as well as kids. Seems that Singapore Biennale 2006 attracted alot of people of all ages and it proved that it suits almost everybody. The exhibits are displayed everywhere within the camp, with different blocks holding a handful of interesting exhibits for our eyes and ears. Hmm.. For further details, please see illustrations for some of the exhibits. Hehe~
Looks more like a... prison??

Tick tock, tick tock... Who's working around the clock?
Lost? Aimless? No goal?
Who wants to be a foosball player?

Feeling tensed or excited seeing this? It's up to one's mind..
A mortal in hope of enlightening...
Warning! Please be in total darkness for Camera Obscura to work.

Kev says these SIA gals sprouting H²O on behalf of Merlion.. =.="
After the visit to Tanglin Camp, we drove down to Orchard Takashimaya for dinner. Some Japanese restaurant that costs us $80+ just for two persons. Food and dessert not bad but then the price is still not worth it.
Eyes super tired today with all those fascinating exhibits at Singapore Arts Museum and Tanglin Camp. Well, that rounded up my visit to the Singapore Biennale 2006 this year, from National Museum to City Hall to Arts Museum and eventually at Tanglin Camp. I would definately hope that Singapore will hold more of such events. =)

Help! "Flu" blocked my nose on MSN!
Okay... Started my dinner with bah chor mee (mee pok with pork lard, pork liver, chilly oil, fried wantons) near my house, packed a packet of french fries home to munch and rounded up with a bowl of chocolate ice-cream. Sinfully sinful. It's the battle of The Mouth vs. The Mind. =)
Keep having this blocked nose for the past two days. Not like the usual flu, just a blocked nose which I used to have quite frequently when I was younger. Sensitive nose having reaction towards certain stuff. Something fishy around? Haha~ Maybe it's Mr. Haze knocking on the door again...
Stared at the monitor screen at work today. Looking at all the nicknames that are online at MSN. Fancy nicknames, sad nicknames, nicknames trying to broadcast certain messages, nicknames trying to tell someone something... Nicknames are no longer used as nicknames. They have become a medium, a channel to let everyone or at least someone to know about some information. Questions to ask, stories to tell, messages to pass on, etc. The movement of the mouth is used much lesser than the typing fingers nowadays. How weird... I'm typing right now. *stunned*
Sigh. I really hope that Lydia Sum can recover soon. Have been watching quite alot of her comedies since young, be it movies or drama. God bless her. May she overcome the ordeal and recover.

Never Date Myself.. Date others then..
| Never Date a Cancer |
 Clingy, emotional, and very private - it's hard to escape a Cancer's clutches. And while Cancer will want to know everything about you, they're anything but open in return. Instead try dating: Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, or Aquarius |

Return of the Biennale virus
Woit people~ Went to City Hall building for the next round of Biennale 2006 exhibition yesterday. This time round is a more interesting one than at National Museum, although previously I quite enjoyed the stay too.
Singapore Biennale 2006 @ City Hall
Thinking that I will need to pay another five bucks because I did not bring the entry pass which I paid for during my visit at National Museum, I was told by the Biennale staff that it's free entry today because it's a public holiday! Cool! So there we were inside City Hall building visiting the courtrooms with the exhibits being displayed within. Alot more than National Museum, and some of them really caught my attention and I was mesmorized by them. I managed to take some photos while the rest are not really interesting or easy to capture due to the poor lightings, which is meant to be like that.
Wanna know how a suicide bomber thinks?
Adjustments to one of your senses : Hearing
Secret intelligence meeting?
Out of the ordinary reading desk's bottom...
Underground lab test? (Rated PG)
Dollies learning aqua-aerobics...
Adopting the fish tank light concept.. I got mesmorised..
Served in ice chilled or piping hot.. Your choice..
Devils of the courtroom...
Battle of verbal debates slapped around..
Only the best will stand tall among the rest...
"Awarded" wth death penalty before even pleading guilty...
Piles and piles of law statutes... Can they really provide the JUSTICE?
From across the road... I like this..
After the visit at City Hall building, I went for Chris's dinner appointment at Fish & Co., The Glass House. Munch munch, bitch bitch... Munch munch, bitch bitch... Munch munch, bitch bitch... Munch munch, bitch bitch... Munch munch, bitch bitch... Munch munch, bitch bitch... Munch munch, bitch bitch... Munch munch, bitch bitch... Munch munch, bitch bitch... Munch munch, bitch bitch... Munch munch, bitch bitch... Until at about 8.30pm I parted with the rest of the people and went to pick Kev up at Wisma Atria where we thereafter proceeded to Vivo City for a movie "Warsaw", one of the European Film Festival movie. ZZZzzz...
Ate at XinWang (Kovan) again! Ok, no pix of food today.. Wait XL says, "Food pix again??!" *sweat* Did not see my cutie waiter tonight.. Sianz.. Ate until very full and drove back home feeling sleepy. Good night~ *yawnz*

Middle of the week aka mid-week
Hohoho~ Started to stay late today in the office to do work again. Event coming soon, presentation to The GOD tomorrow, rush MAs and it will be Friday eventually.
My throat is feeling freaking uncomfortable today, even though the PSI is at an average of 60. Feels like something is stuck at the throat.. Aarrgghhh! I need plumbing services for my throat!! And I need a deep one!!! Opps~ Sounds suggestive huh? Haha~ =X
Okay.. Felt bored so decided to blog tonight. Not that I feel the need or obliged to make blog entries every alternate day or whatsoever, I just feel like blogging now.
Weather is moderately warm today, and I can see shadows casted by the sunlight at last. Seeing the dumb haze makes me not wanting to even go for a swim at night. Sigh. Well at least I still can stay in my bedroom, air-conditioned and eating chocolate ice-cream now! Muahaha~
Gonna really plan for my HK itinerary soon. And I need a short shopping therapy soon too~

Death Note written on Friday the 13th, and yucky HK Cafe
Friday 13th was not a easy day to pass. Presentation was fairly good however it took like the usual 4hrs plus, leaving me a empty stomach and a terrible headache. Went back home to empty every plates left for me on the dining table. And I really mean E.M.P.T.Y. but well, not pix taken back then.
Rushed to Tampines Mall to watch Death Note. I had downloaded the anime but yet to watch during that day, so the movie came first to my eyes before the anime. Well, I'm looking forward for the sequel though. And after watching the anime, I realised that the Shinigami looks exactly the same in the movie! Cool~
The battle of wits begins... whose side are you on?
Wanna leave a name inside?
Decided to look for something to eat after the movie, so tried to look for some Hong Kong cafe that was advertised in the tv but we can't seem to locate it. Boring. In the end went to Liang Seah Street instead where we were supposed to try the 来来Beef Noodles, and we ended up at Tong Shui (糖水) HK Cafe. Decoration of the shop looks like some Shanghai era with SCV channel showing Hong Kong oldies movie. Food-wise... Please see the title of this blog entry. No further comments.
Shanghai-like deco within...
Supper for da night...
Toothpick holder that I thought is some pepper / salt container~
Reached home with a sleepy face and a tired mind.

Today is super busy! Supposed to meet fellow counterparts from other department for a recce, however they were so freaking late due to a last minute meeting! And yet they didn't tell me until I called them! !#$%^&
Like 1st astronaut placed their country's flag on the moon...
Singaporeans plant their hankies and 30cents tissues to conquer the table..
They are just worth 30cents in value...
Rushed back to office to do up my slides for tomorrow's Approval of Plans. Alot of outstanding issues waiting to be trashed out during the presentation. Sianz.. Somemore is FRIDAY THE 13TH!!!! Wish me luck.
Had dinner with Eddy & bf, his cousin & bf and Riq at Indonesian Seafood Restaurant, Riverside Point. For $10++ can eat quite alot and free flow of rice~ Thereafter we went to TCC at Clarke Quay for coffee session. Chatted and laughed all the way. My jaws are tired, still tired now.. =S
We chatted from jalan raya in November to Bintan trip in December to topic of smell nipples. *sweat* Don't ask me how we started the last topic. No comments.

Exotic Saturday
*yawnz*
Went to met Jackson and Kev at Tg Pagar MRT station at about 1.30pm. Well, everybody was late though and thanks to Kev who was like at... Tg Pagar Plaza? *double sweat* Lucky for us, we managed to make it in time to have our lunch cum Jackson's assignment at Annalakshmi Restaurant along Amoy Street.
Let me sort of introduce to everyone about this restaurant. It's a Indian vegetarian restaurant where it is totally being run by volunteers of the Temple of Fine Arts where you can eat as much as you can, and you pay as what you like! Part of the money you pay will thus become some form of donations to other non-profit institutions. The food there is not bad and me by getting a second helping means yummy~ Hahaha! For those who would like to try, please give a reasonable amount on the quantity that you have consumed. =_="
Annalakshmi at Amoy Street
Exquisite decos within
Jackson....
Kev....
And me!
After the lunch, we went to Chan Brothers Pte Ltd at about 3.15pm to check out for my air tickets but too bad they are closed at 3pm by then. And so we kinda walked aimlessly until Jackson suggested to go to The Majestic as he needed to get some stuff while I can actually browse some travel guides for Hong Kong. Sadly to say that most of the books there, erm, I think it's all of them are in Chinese and I'm plain lazy to read. *sweat*
Jackson parted with us shortly as he was going to meet you-know-who. Opps! Bad me, bad me~ Haha~ And so our next destination was to proceed to Raffles City to get our Sandy Lam World Tour Concert tickets. Thereafter, we sat down at TCC @ Citylink Mall to quench our thirst as well as to keep our eyes busy. *smirk*
Need help? Try finding an answer in here...
Time to act? hmm...
Finally we dropped by at Geylang Serai area to buy more deng deng and other food stuff before I dropped Kev home, and brought my food stuff home for my parents. What an erotic, erm, I mean exotic Saturday! =X
