In the 14th April, 2007, I was 43 years old, This is the saddest day, in my life, the last day of the comfortable life , I was diagnosed stroke meaning brain attack, severed stroke ( left hemisphere injury resulting my right side paralysis or stroke paralysis) experiences all of the following problems of:
-Body Weakness,
-Paralysis on the Right side of the body,
-Aphasia (speech problem), write (expression), difficult intellectual and acceptant written language,
-Short term memory problems,

-Anxiety behavior way.
On the day, I experience my hand and leg feel numbness in the surrounding body. The energy in the leg and hand slowly diminishing. I don’t know is a Stroke attack my body. The doctor said the blood pressure reached pressure) of 190 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or higher (systolic pressure) or a bottom number (diastolic pressure) of 120 mm Hg or higher brain's blood vessels, damaging and weakening causing them to narrow, rupture or leak. blood flow and causing a stroke in the brain.

I lost my chinese dialect language blank and erase in the brain. Luckily I can talk in English and Bahasa Malaysia.
In the course, depression hit me, I lost 30 kg from 85 kg, why is happen to me, Right after I lost those 10kgs in a week, the mind cannot think straight. I want to die, known what is the future, lost the income it was devastating to me. It was hard to get out of bed every morning, but I knew I had two choices: to get to overcome of depression or to continue toward my new second life to gain the physical strength to walk and talk.
I was eliminated life so long I struggled with for the family I love and love give the strength to live But what's with mental power to do one step at a time . With god I surrendered to myself and to be strengthened my vision to rearrange the long term goals.
