When we attended the wake service of the late Mr Eric Simon, we printed and passed your condolence messages to Mrs Junie Simon. She thanked BBGSians for your care and concern.
Mrs Simon attends the same church as Miss Yeap. Met a church member there who just visited Miss Yeap...she said when she was reading the Psalms to Miss Yeap, her eyes were open and looking at her. A mighty good sign! SY

Good News! Miss Yeap is now recuperating and starting physiotherapy treatment in an extended care hospital in Shah Alam.
VENUE: Room 95, Columbia Asia Extended Care Hospital, Lot 2, Jalan Baung, Shah Alam, Selangor
VISITING HOURS: 7am -9pm
NOTE: In order not to tax Miss Yeap’s energy at this time, please go in a group and keep your visit short. Try not to ask Miss Yeap if she can recognize as it will put a strain on her memory. Simply identify yourself by telling Miss Yeap your name and the class you were in. Be positive!
UPDATE: 18 March 2011 (Fri), 9.30am
We received news that Miss Yeap will be discharged from the hospital on 21 March (Mon). However, as she still needs 24-hour nursing care, she might not be able to go home yet. The family is working out a solution and we will inform you concerning their decision.

Report by SY Phang, President BBGS OGA
The BBGS OGA sent two representatives to visit Miss Yeap at 5.30 pm on 13 March (Sunday).
As Miss Yeap is still prone to infection, we did not send any flowers. Instead we printed all your Facebook get-well wishes — more than 13 pages and slipped them into a clear folder to present to her.
Miss Yeap is looking much better, with a healthy colour coming back to her cheeks. She was sleeping when SS Patricia and I arrived at her bedside. Later, she opened her eyes but went back to sleep.
But as we prayed for her, she opened her eyes again and reached out to hold my hand. As we did not want to tire her out, we left after 10 minutes and requested her niece to help read your love messages to her.
Thank God for answering all our prayers for Miss Yeap.
Nisi Dominus Frustra!
PS: Although Miss Yeap's family said that BBGSians can visit her now, we feel that Miss Yeap is still weak and having too many visitors may wear her out at this point. Perhaps, it is wiser to give Miss Yeap a couple of weeks before BBGSians visit her in droves. Also, it will be good to keep your visit short and refrain from seeing her if you have cough and cold.
UPDATE: 4 March 2011 (Fri), 11.10 pm
Praise God that He has answered all our prayers for Miss Yeap. This morning, she was finally transferred out of ICU to the ward and was able to recognise her family members.
However, Miss Yeap is still on antibiotics and has a tube in her throat so she is not able to talk yet.
The OGA will arrange to send a bouquet of flowers to Miss Yeap first. We will let you know when she is ready for visitors.
Nisi Dominus Frustra … With God All Things Are Possible!

Received this sms from Mei-Lyn regarding Miss Yeap, at 12am, 26 Feb: "Quick Update: She's awake more now. Infection in lungs causing lots of phlegm. Off the ventilator tho, and looks more alert & aware."
UPDATE: 24 FEB 2011 (THURS), 1.30 am
When we attended the wake service of the late Mr Eric Simon, beloved husband of former BBGS teacher Mrs Junie Simon, we met a church member who had just visited Miss Yeap. She said when she was reading the Psalms to Miss Yeap, her eyes were open and looking at her. A mighty good sign!
Says Miss Yeo Kim Eng: "If you love Miss Yeap, please stay away from her now. The best thing you can do is to intensify your prayers for Miss Yeap."
When Miss Yeo heard that Miss Yeap is on a heavy dose of antibiotics due to infection, she advises all BBGSians to refrain from visiting Miss Yeap.
"We all carry germs so it is best we do not visit Miss Yeap at this time," adds Miss Yeo. The doctors are limiting even the visits of Miss Yeap's family.
So sorry for those who want to send a bouquet to Miss Yeap. As she is still in the ICU, please do not send any flowers yet. We will inform you as soon as Miss Yeap moves out of the ICU into a ward. Thanks.
So excited to share this sms from Miss Yeap's grandniece, Mei-Lyn: “Encouraging news! They’re weaning her off the ventilator. She’s breathing on her own! 2hrs at a time so less stress to body, but still great news I think!”
Please ignore latest sms that Miss Yeap had gone in for another operation. It was JUST A MINOR PROCEDURE TO INSERT A TUBE INTO HER THROAT to facilitate breathing via a ventilator. Kindly forward this clarification by Miss Yeap's family to those who had sent you the sms.
