Thank you to the nurses, doctors, and support staff who looked after Mama at Sunway Medical Centre recently. She is now well and back home after cancer surgery. We are grateful that Mama’s tumour was detected at an early stage and is not a recurrence of her previous cancer.

This was my 13th flu jab since 2009 (didn’t get one in 2020). Thank you Masni for a painless injection! 🙂

今年在疫情期间已准许和亲朋戚友拜年,气氛比去年更好,但还是没有以往一样热闹。在这里和大家回味一下这张2019年的贺年照,恭祝大家今年虎虎生威身体健康,更希望明年过年时可以浩浩荡荡地去拜年,大展鸿兔!

With visiting activities permitted this Chinese New Year, it is set to feel livelier than the last, even if not to pre-pandemic levels. Here’s hoping that we can enjoy scenes like from this CNY 2019 photo again next year. Wishing everyone a healthy, peaceful, and productive Year of the Tiger ahead.

Dengan aktiviti kunjung-mengunjung dibenarkan di Tahun Baru Cina ini, suasana CNY tahun ini pasti lebih meriah berbanding dengan tahun lepas. Moga-moga sambutan tahun depan dapat kembali kepada kemeriahan pra-pandemik seperti dalam foto ini dari tahun 2019. Selamat Menyambut Tahun Baru Harimau kepada semua yang meraikan perayaan ini di Malaysia dan selamat beristirehat kepada semua yang sedang bercuti pada musim ini.

As we enter the final week of 2021, some of us may find it hard to resist indulging during the festivities. My advice during this time is to reduce foods high in sugars especially added sugar; to choose whole foods over ultra-processed foods; and to stay within 14 units of alcohol a week plus ensure at least 3 consecutive alcohol-free days a week for those who drink. If you are fortunate enough to be celebrating this year, please also consider offering assistance in any little way you can to those who have been affected by the recent floods.

Thank you, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

很快的,2021 年已接近尾声。我想在佳节期间和大家分享一些健康贴士,譬如:减少摄取含高糖量的食物,尤其是含有添加糖分的食物;多选择食用原状食品并少碰超加工食品;还有每周饮酒量须维持在 14 个酒精单位以内,并确保每周至少连续 3 天不喝酒。 如果您有幸地能在今年庆祝圣诞元旦,也请您为最近的洪水灾民尽量伸出援手,希望这或多或少能帮助减轻他们的负担。

在这里恭祝大家圣诞、新年快乐!

During this Mother’s Day, my mother shared with me this photo of her mother taken in the late 1940s together with the rest of her family. My grandmother was a remarkable woman, raising six children whilst running the family’s bamboo and rattan goods business in Teluk Intan (then Telok Anson). She later handed over the running of the business to her daughter-in-law, holding on to values that placed women and men in equally important roles within the family.
Fun fact: My grandmother was around 20-24 weeks pregnant with my mother when this photo was taken, so you could say that a part of me already existed when this photo was taken, because all of a woman’s eggs are already formed by that period of foetal development.

Sempena Hari Ibu, mak saya telah berkongsi dengan saya gambar nenek saya dengan keluarganya yang diambil pada akhir zaman 1940-an. Nenek saya merupakan seorang wanita yang mengkagumkan di mana beliau telah membesarkan enam orang anak di samping menguruskan perniagaan kedai barangan buluh dan rotan di Teluk Intan (Telok Anson) pada masa itu. Beliau kemudiannya menyerahkan pengurusan perniagaan itu kepada menantu perempuannya, dalam itu meneruskan pegangannya kepada nilai-nilai yang menitikberatkan semua sumbangan baik daripada pihak wanita ataupun lelaki dalam memastikan kesejahteraan keluarga.
Dalam foto ini, nenek saya telah mengandung dengan mak saya selama kira-kira 20-24 minggu. Oleh itu, boleh dikatakan bahawa sebahagian daripada saya sebenarnya telah wujud dalam foto ini kerana semua o**m seseorang wanita sudah dihasilkan apabila dianya mencapai umur 20 minggu sebagai janin dalam rahim ibu.

在今天的母亲节,妈妈和我分享了这一张外婆在40年代后期拍摄的全家福。外婆从前不但带大了六个孩子,而且还要管理外公在霹雳州安顺经营的竹藤家具商店,所以把她称为伟大的贤妻良母一点也不夸张。外婆后来把生意交给她的媳妇管理,可见其价值观是多么的前卫,气质是多么的随和。
轶事:外婆在这张照片里正怀着我妈妈,大约怀了20-24周。因为女生所有的卵子在胎儿的这个时期已经形成,所以勉强可以说一部分的我其实在这张照片被拍摄的时候就已经存在了。

Putting the finishing touches of olive oil and balsamic vinegar to my breakfast salad this morning.

Walaupun nasi lemak itu sedap tak kira dijamu sebagai sarapan, makan tengah hari ataupun makan malam, saya cuba menyediakan salad untuk sarapan pagi dari semasa ke semasa sebagai alternatif yang lebih ringan kandungan kalorinya. Apabila memakan salad ala barat, saya s**a menggunakan dressing minyak zaitun dan cuka balsamik kerana ianya merupakan pilihan yang lebih sihat berbanding dressing-dressing komersial yang lain.

今天早上在家里做沙律当早餐,最后淋上初榨橄榄油和摩德纳香醋,不仅好吃,还比一般市场上的沙律酱来得健康。

Being able to spend time with those closest to them to celebrate this New Year of the Ox is something many people are not able to do this year. I am blessed that my family members are safe and sound even though some of them had to join us through Zoom for reunion dinner. To all those missing their family and friends, do stay strong — hopefully we will be able to meet again to celebrate one of the many Malaysian festivals this year, if not the next.

能够与家人亲身庆祝牛年,是许多人今年无法做到的事情。 即使我在年三十晚必须通过Zoom和无法回乡的家人共享团圆饭,但大家仍然因为家人都平平安安而感到非常庆幸。 如果您现在正在想念着亲朋戚友,请继续坚强 — 希望我们能够在今年或明年的多种马来西亚节日时会面同庆。

Terdapat ramai yang tidak berpeluang menyambut Tahun Baru Cina dengan ahli keluarga terdekat pada tahun ini. Walaupun sesetengah ahli keluarga saya hanya dapat menikmati makan malam tahun baru bersama melalui Zoom, kami tetap bersyukur kerana kami semua tetap dalam keadaan sihat dan sejahtera. Kepada semua yang masih rindukan saudara-mara dan kawan-kawan, harap tabahkan hati dan minda — moga-moga kita dapat bertemu semasa sambutan perayaan lain-lain di Malaysia sama ada pada tahun ini atau tahun hadapan.

These are two photos I took recently of my workplace with a clear view of KL on the horizon. Day or night, do always remind yourself to abide by the measures that are there for our safety and wellbeing.

Ini merupakan dua foto tempat kerja saya yang saya ambil baru-baru ini dengan pemandangan KL yang jelas di kaki langit. Tak kira siang atau malam, selalu ingatkan diri untuk mematuhi langkah-langkah pencegahan wabak yang sedia ada demi menjaga keselamatan dan kesejahteraan kita semua.

这是我最近从医院附近拍摄的两张风景照,在地平线里可清晰地看到KL的景色。无论昼夜,请记得时时遵守防疫措施,以维护大家的安全与福祉。

I recall being the Gastroenterology consultant on duty on Christmas Day in 2018 when I was living in the United Kingdom. At the time, due to the physical distance and my shift patterns, I regrettably wasn’t able to be there with Mum when she was undergoing chemotherapy throughout the month of December. Thanks to the dedication of the doctors, nurses and allied health professionals who cared for Mum, here I am with her on Malaysian soil for Christmas 2020, my first Christmas in Malaysia since 2002.

A very Blessed, Healthy, and Happy Christmas to all those in Malaysia who are celebrating.🎄

我记得我在英国居住时于2018年圣诞节那天当上了医院值班的肠胃顾问医生。 当时,妈妈在整个12月期间接受化疗,但我因为值班和距离的关系而很愧歉地无法陪同她对抗癌症的过程。 非常感激那时候照顾妈妈的医生,护士和专业医护人员们 —— 因为有了他们的奉献精神,我才有机会和妈妈一起在国土度过2020年的圣诞节。这也是我自2002年以来第一次在马来西亚度过圣诞。

在这里恭祝大家圣诞平安、健康、愉快。🎄

Received this lovely bar of seasonally inspired lemongrass soap from a patient this week that she handmade herself. Glad to see her make a full recovery following her hospital admission a few months back. #❄️

Terharu menerima buah tangan sabun haruman serai buatan sendiri berbentuk snowflake daripada seorang pesakit di klinik minggu ini. S**a hati melihat beliau pulih sepenuhnya selepas discaj dari hospital beberapa bulan yang lepas. #❄️

这是一名病人送给我的自制手工雪花形香茅皂。很高兴看到她几个月前出院后逐渐地康复了。 #圣诞 #谢谢您 #❄️

Terima kasih kepada Berita Harian kerana menyiarkan ruangan yang menyentuh pada topik polip usus besar dan pengesanannya dengan ujian saringan kolonoskopi, serta kaitan pengeluaran polip dengan pengurangan risiko barah usus besar.

Terima kasih juga kepada Editor BH atas pindaan maklumat yang kurang tepat dalam versi terbitan suratkhabar bertarikh 24 Oktober 2020. Versi sesawang yang telah dipinda boleh diakses di pautan bawah.

Terdapat dua lagi perkara dalam versi sesawang (diakses pada masa pos ini diterbitkan) yang ingin saya jelaskan, iaitu: 1) (perenggan ke-6) potensi polip usus besar yang lazim ditemui untuk bertukar menjadi kanser dalam jangka masa sepuluh tahun adalah antara 1-5 peratus; 2) (perenggan ke-11) kanser usus besar yang dikesan dan dirawat pada peringkat awal boleh dikira sembuh sepenuhnya jika tiada tanda-tanda pengembalian kanser 5 tahun selepas diagnosis asal.

https://www.bharian.com.my/hujung-minggu/lain-lain/2020/11/749890/kanser-kolorektal-sering-dikesan-lewat

MENGIKUT statistik seramai 26,395 penduduk Malaysia maut akibat kanser pada 2018 dan jumlah itu semakin meningkat tahun demi tahun.
