Cancer changes your life, often for the better. You learn what’s important, you learn to prioritize, and you learn not to waste your time. You tell people you love them. My friend Gilda Radner (who died of ovarian cancer in 1989 at age 42) used to say, ‘If it wasn’t for the downside, having cancer would be the best thing and everyone would want it.’ That’s true. If it wasn’t for the downside. ~Joel Siegel

Happy Four Months

I am officially in my 4th month of remission.

And yes I am still working, living like a normal person (except for that wig). I still shop like I have tons of fortune. I still dress up and put on make up. I still eat what I like, less the seafood and sashimi.

I have made some lifestyle changes in the hope of being able to be in this world a little longer to see my girl grows up into a beautiful girl and gets married to a fabulous guy, giving birth to a dozen of babies.

I also occasionally ponder on how can I maximise my time in this world to give good to the society? Maybe volunteering?

  1. I ever came across a statement that says “Life is full of uncertainty but death is a certainty”. Its inspiring and reminded us to live with less fear, hesitation and regrets since the ending is for sure.

    Having survived this ordeal, I would encourage to go into volunteering (if u have thoughts of it) without much delay. And from there, you might find the your own definition of what it is to give good to the society.

    I wish you health and happiness always.

  2. Hi Anonymous,

    That's a very inspiring quote. Life is definitely full of uncertainty. Most important is how do we deal with the "surprises" that we unveil in our lives.

    Yep, I would love to go into volunteering and hopefully find some comrades in this circle or make new friends or even hopefully bring hope to other people.

    Who are you, Anonymous? Maybe you may want to email me yorkmun@gmail.com because I simply love talking to people who read my blog (looking at the stats, I thought no one would be faithfully reading this blog anymore )
