About
Garfieldhug records experiences encountered and reflections of how the world is viewed often times with a tinge of humour, peppered with cynical comments. The author has several muses who contributes to the laughing or crying experience.
Having gone through major surgical interventions, the author hopes to share information of good surgeons or medical practitioners met and experienced. These are categorized under Great Doctors.
For these doctors to earn a blog write up, they underwent stringent interview sessions by the author before they were allowed to treat.
Further, the author is a challenging patient with multiple drug allergies and conditions that require careful medical attention.
So, for any doctor to successfully treat the author as a patient, the doctor is indeed worth their weight in gold as it means they are skilful and knowledgeable in pharmacology and surgical procedures, making each surgery non eventful.
Happy reading and enjoy the cynicism, humor, colorful descriptions of my favorite inanimate stuffed soft toy Garfield and pot shots at life that the author shares with fellow bloggers! ๐
We must be able to laugh at ourselves, laugh with the world and laugh at the world.
Many thanks to Artist Koh Sia Yong for drawing me my favourite Garfield character in his own way on 14 May 2014 at Singapore Island Country Club’s Thomson Ballroom.
This is a gift, I shall treasure!
Enjoy! ๐

Can i ask u a question. Where can i buy the middle one garfield. I have the same one which is brought 20 yrs ago,LOL
Hi Ms Garfield Hug,
What a great collection of plush toys you have there, as shown in the photo! Much more than just interested in locating or buying any particular one, SoundEagle would like to learn more about the following:
Which one is your favourite?
Do they all symbolize you?
Is there one that you consider to be your best friend, close confidant, altered ego, stunt double, duplicate and/or avatar?
I would like to inform you that you can see a small fraction of my collection of plush toys along with my floral arrangements in a special post published at one of my websites:
https://queenslandorchid.wordpress.com/2015/02/14/celebrate-valentines-day-with-romantic-orchid-display-art-poetry-and-game/
Happy Sunday to you!
All in all, SoundEagle likes your humour as shown in the contents of your “About” page. How would you rate the doctor in “House”, the TV series? Would you consider being treated by House if such a person really exists in real life?
Hi Sound Eagle in Queensland! You really love Orchids eh! Watch my Monday & Tuesdy posts hint hint.
Thank you for reading my lil blog site.
Yes I do have a favorite Garfield that travels with me. He is often photographed and shown in my site. Do go to the menu on my site on “All About Garfield”.
My fave is the one used in my avatar too or on my replies to comments. He travels with me too.
House is a fantastic series and yes if I need a doctor to crack what ails me, House would be my first choice as he is brilliant in diagnostics!
Saw your stuff toys…๐๐
Really nice of you to visit Sound Eagle! You are cool๐
You are very welcome, Ms Garfield Hug!
It would be very nice and informative if you could kindly leave some comments when you visit my posts and/or pages at any of my websites, so that I know that you have been there. Thank you in anticipation. ๐
My pleasure to do so ๐
I shall interact with you later, as it is now the hungry and hollow hour. Thank you for your reply. ๐ Hugs to you from SoundEagle . . . . .
Enjoy your meal๐

Hello, I happen to chance upon your blog on your spine surgery. May I know how does the surgery help?
My mum (age 62) recently did the MRI and it shows that her L4/L5 and S1 has moved and it compresses onto the nerves. It is affecting her walking as she can constantly feel cramping sensation and numb especailly at her left leg and her toes. It results her unable to walk very slowly and very home bound now. She also did an X-ray and it shows that the bones has moved and it is not straight.
The neurosurgeon say that she has to do decompression and fusion surgery. But not sure whether can it really relive her pain.
Can I ask why do you pick Dr James? Any recommendation from anyone? May I also know how old were you when you did the surgery?
Many many thanks. I am really anxious to find out the best option for my mum.
Hi Jacqueline. Thanks for reading my blog. The surgery greatly helped me otherwise I would be paralysed. Your mum has to go for surgery else she loses her mobility. The longer she waits, the harder the recovery. I picked Dr James Tan and Dr Pang Boon Chuan as they are both very good neurosurgeons. I prefer neurosurgeons rather than orthopaedic surgeons as neuro deals with nerves and repair of nerves. Hope this helps you. Are you Singaporean? If so and you need my advice, let me have your email address and I would be most happy to help as I know the feeling and how anxious one can get. Hope this helps and guide you ๐ fear not. I have 10 spinal implants and am doing well ๐
heya! Thanks for your reply! Yes. I am a Singaporean. I guess I should look for Dr James for a second opinion. And by reading ur blog gave me more relieve on the surgery before that I am quite afraid of the risk and complication through the surgery.
Also because the neurosurgeon that we met doesn’t seem to be able to communicate and explain well to my mum in mandarin. With that, I guess my mum’s confidence in him has deceased.
You have 10 metal implants, so does it really affect ur movement and any complications down the road?
My email address is jacquelinesoon07@gmail.com
So long as you have no trust and comfort in any doctor, choose another. I shortlisted 3 and decided on one. One that I felt comfortable with and could relate and felt safe with. The rest I left it to divine intervention. Tell Dr James that Garfield recommends him and to include Dr Pang Boon Chuan. Dr Pang is brilliant and worked very hard. Both operated on me for 11 hours. Your mum’s case sounds straight forward. 2-3 hours max and these days there is keyhole surgery too. So, stay cool and trust the surgeon you pick and say a prayer. It helps ๐

Hi Dear
I have nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award as a token of my appreciation.
Here is the link http://tingleurtastebuds.com/2016/05/25/one-lovely-blog-award/
Congratulations.
Well, I have just blog hopped to here from my excellent friend Samantha Murdock who wrote a poem dedicated to your blog with a recommendation to visit…so, I have and followed…which may be bad news for you…terribly cool place you have here and, in truth, rather fun amidst a world filled with media only wishing to inform us of doom, gloom and despair.
Hmm, sorry to ramble on a first “Hello,” type comment…my excuse is NaNoWrMo….I have lulled and am now recovering. I can speak again ๐
Welcome Gary and thank you for following. Sam is a good hearted lady and a kind friend. I am so happy to have you reading my ramblings ๐Laugh and Garfield hugs๐
Agreed, but shhh, don’t let her know I said it in public on someone else blog ๐
Looking forward to many chuckles…I already noticed you had another of my favourites….Snoopy too ๐
Ha ha! ๐
hahaha I love your attitude! Thanks for following my blog.
Most welcome๐พ๐พ๐๐
There will never gonna be too much of the humor! I remember when I was younger I watched Garfield and your blog brought me good memories ๐ I will follow you!
Ohh Mrsmastermind…you are most kind. Thank you for the follow. Garfield hugs๐๐๐๐บ
Hello there!
New follower and thanks for popping over to my blog. Your posts are very entertaining with lots of humour and has been making me smile a lot on my commute home. Not unlike Garfield. (I still enjoy the episodes with my kids). I don’t really like cats in real life but we all love Garfield, and Squeak of course.
Take care
Hello! Thank you for commenting and letting me know you are enjoying my posts! Yes, Garfield is precious and Squeak too. Glad you and your kids are Garfield fans too๐. You sew well from what I see in your posts. Stay connected and am always happy to chat with my wp friends! Have a great weekend and keep smiling๐ค๐ค๐คGarfield hugs๐๐๐พ
A good weekend to you as well.
๐
Stunning Garfield collection.
Thank you my friend๐
Hi ๐
I hope you don’t mind me reaching out in a comment — I couldn’t find a way to contact you privately (you can always delete this comment…)
I noticed that your Gravatar doesn’t link to your blog. This makes it more difficult for others to find you. Please take a look at my blog post linked below, which explains the easy steps you can take to fix this ๐

Thanks for your kind information.
Thank you for following my blog. I really appreciate that.
Most welcome๐
I enjoyed knowing a little about you. You have a good blog.
Thank you Lbeth. I really enjoy chatting with you. Garfield hugs to you, your mother and Croc ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ถ๐ถ๐ถ
Iโve got to just say….Iโm really glad I started following your page. Since September, Iโve been struggling overwhelming grief from the sudden passing of my oldest. Most days have been flooded with tears. No matter what I do or how I hard I try…just try is all I can say since I havenโt been able to actually accomplish anything…..itโs challenging just to fake a smile when everythingโs been sucked out you and youโre stuck feeling empty. I guess about a month ago I stumbled across your page and found myself smiling without forcing it…..Iโve even gave a little chuckle lately when reading your posts. So, thank you for having a humorous silly side that I relate to. ๐
Oh Aimee, I am so grateful for your heartfelt share. I am sorry to hear of your loss. I like making people laugh and myself, I end up in hospital ( I call it Bates Motel a fair bit) and realised that when life throws me lemons, I make lemony treats. I am very happy you can afford a smile or two now and I would really love to hear you chuckling more with me. Take care and know that you are not alone, the world laughs with you, at you and at others. Chin up and be strong. Much love and Garfield hugs.
I have been on and off Word Press for almost ten years now, and just “rejoined” back in June. As soon as I saw your avatar I remembered how much fun it was visiting your site. I am looking forward to following and commenting on your posts, and I also am a huge Garfield fan which probably helps explain why I connected with your avatar so much. All the best, Bruce
Hi Bruce!! I am so pleased to see you back on WordPress!! Garfield fan yaay!!! Garfield hugs!!!๐๐๐บ
