Be her weapon to fight the war!

Feisty Princess needs bullets to fight, be her weapon!

Write-up from http://ourfeistyprincess.com/index.php

I thought over, probably a couple hundreds of times wondering how to write this entry. At the end of the day, I still have no idea what to write.

Truth is when I first saw the email sent by Dr Aung on the amount needed to bring Charmaine to New York for treatment, I was shocked. $350,000 is the upfront deposit. I weren’t sure what currency it was in. Sent Jolene and Charlene a text message, ending the message with “I would give up if it is in USD”.

And of course, the bad news never ends.

$350,000 USD.

Half a million Singapore dollars.

How would I ever be able to raise this amount of sum? How do I convince anyone that Charmaine’s life is worth half a million dollars? I don’t know how. I seriously don’t know how. So many times, I want to give up. I don’t know how to think. I don’t know what to think. I don’t want to think. I don’t dare to think.

A week has passed since I received the email and I know I have already procrastinated a week away and made no progress.

I am brought up to think rationally and weigh my decisions against benefits and cost. Rationally speaking, I know fully well that half a million dollars can be better spent on saving thousands of malnourished kids in Africa than on Charmaine who only has a 40-50% chance of survival even with the antibody in New York.

But Charmaine is my daughter. No amount of money can justify how important she is to me. And Jase. Despite Jase’s young age and maturity, I know fully well that he loves his mei mei just as much as I do.

I would do just about anything to save her. I thought about selling my kidney, being a surrogate mom. They may sound stupid and crazy but my conscience feels so much better with me earning that USD $350,000 because I cannot think of any rational reason to convince you to help me save Charmaine.

I really thought of giving up. Its so much more easier and I am so tired.

I don’t want to think about anything anymore. Its easier just remembering the next doctor’s appointment, the next time for medication, the next time to pay the bills and just things I can do without thinking…

I even avoided Jolene and Charlene for a week because I have no answer for them. Their suggestion to go public and seek for help. My permission to allow them to publicise the materials.
Even as I am typing right now, I don’t exactly know what am I doing. I don’t know what I have decided. I don’t know the consequences of me typing this.

The only thing I know for sure is that should anything happen to Charmaine, I would never be able to forgive myself for not trying to fight for Charmaine when all she has to help her is me.

This is the very reason why I am typing this.

Dear friends, please help Jase and me to save Charmaine.

Thank you.
Cynthia Lim

A message from Elson Soh

I hope that those who read my blog today, you can help Charmaine to fight her war! She needs us, regardless of donation or encouragement message. Do visit her blog and her website to understand more about her.

EMEFC will be participating in the fund raising for Charmaine by selling our fanclub latest edition souvenirs. The fanclub will donate 50 sets of limited edition souvenirs with Elson Soh's autograph on it. 100% sale will be donated to Charmaine as part of her medical fees. Do support us, so that we can also contribute to her medical fees.

Apart from that, I sincerely hope that my supporters and readers can also help to post the sidebar banner at your blog or any online site. Thank you for reading and the kind assistance given to Charmaine! (",)

Anti-Drug Abuse Campaign 2009

After the performance at Toa Payoh Central, myself together with EMEFC members and Youth Box in-house artistes, we went around the area to distribute the cards for Anti-Drug Abuse Campaign to the public members.

This is a project by EMEFC, with the support from Youth Box. Specially thanks to Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) - Mr Oh and Ms Irene for giving Elson Soh and the fanclub this opportunity to promote this event! (",)

I really enjoy the community work on last Saturday, because I always want everybody to do something meaningful for the society. We manage to give out all the cards to the public and even took photo some of the public members as well. Thank you everybody for the effort!

PM: Joseph, I just want to say thank you for all the trust and effort you do for me. I really appreciate it deeply in my heart and I will work hard to prove myself. Most important, I hope to see everyone in Youth Box becoming more and more successful.

Youth Box Event @ Toa Payoh Central!

Yesterday the event at Toa Payoh Central is fun! Thanks Youth Box Joseph and all the inhouse artistes for giving me the opportunity to perform with you guys! I really like them as their passion in music is strong! Just like what Boss say yesterday, he say that this group of artistes from Youth Box are unlike many other talents he ever met. He commented that Joseph is only 16 years old and his achievement is far suppress many people around his age. Morever I also felt that Youth Box artistes are not proud and I can feel that they really love singing and performance. Jia you everybody in Youth Box!

There are quite a number of audiences. especially many of them standing at the both side of the stage. They are very supportive too! They clapped for us after each performance and it is really great seeing the audience enjoying the show too. (",)

Thanks EMEFC for the flowers, thanks Carol for the Stitch food and 娟姐 for her Stitch towel as well! I m very touched by the support you guys given to me yesterday. Also the support given to all the rest of Youth Box artistes too!

EMEFC bring the standee there to promote me, and if you come for my future show, this standee will appear quite often. Lol! Oh ya, later I will update more about the anti drug abuse campaign. Remember to visit and tag my chatbox more often. Meanwhile I appreciate everybody for the support and trust, and let just ignore what the other say about Elson Soh. I will continue to work hard and do my best for my upcoming performance and activities.

Anyway, the production meeting for tomorrow filming ended quite fast today. Tomorrow I have to wake up super early for the Channel U filming. Hope I can do a good job for it. The TV drama is expected to show at Channel U in August 2009. Stay tune for it!
