I just lost a school mate over the weekend to cancer... she was only 35!
When she found out about her cancer slightly more than a year ago, she was already at late stage 3 towards stage 4. In simple words, there was no hope for a cure. Nevertheless she still fought the battle and lost.
It made me realise 'again' that how fragile life can be and how we often take things for granted that 'there will always be tomorrow'. How can we be sure that there will always be tomorrow??
So this serves as a reminder to me and hopefully to the people I care about that life is too short to be wasted. Do what you like to do, eat what you want to eat, say what you want to say (responsibly of course) TODAY as tomorrow might not come....

So sorry for the lost of your friend. We must enjoy every seconds of our life.... must stay happy always.
sorry to hear about that. life is fragile, don't know what will happen too. in fact, I give my hubby and daughter a hug each morning before going to work. Only God knows, I might crash or accident or whatever. Treasure everyone in ur lives, and life is too short to hating anyone :0)
Yes, life is very fragile and precious.. live and let live.. do not hold grudges and live with anger.. life is not worth holding on to bad moments..
this capital C is very frightening these days.. do u think it is the food that we eat? sigh..
My deepest condolences... yeah, live everyday like no tomorrow!:)
My happy go lucky ex-colleague one day fell off as she was wearing her panty after toilet.
Then, she went and see a doctor and was diagnosed with tumor in her brain, lung and liver. I was just talking about her to my colleague today.
I am on the same page as you, Amy!
Sometimes, I always tell myself...must do what I want now...and live my life now...but everytime..just put on hold.
mNhl, thanks and you're so right, got to always remind myself to live every second to the fullest, although sometimes I still forget :-(
Alice, yeah I always think like u also. What if 'touch wood' I can't come home today because of something unexpected and today will be the last time I will see my loved ones???
reanaclaire, I think it is the food and the lifestyle. My friend said she used to skip meals and eat at different times of the day. I honestly don't know la, if that will cause cancer, I think me and so many others also will have liao.. btw she lives in Melbourne so I am sure they eat healthier stuff than our char kueh teow or nasi lemak here...sigh...
Alice Law, yeah and bake like there is no tomorrow... hehehehe
treasure memories, see la! like that also can... haiz....
Leona, exactly.. easy to say but so hard to do... must slap ourselves sometimes!
Do u know..i m scared myself? Sometimes when I go into negative thinking..I will start thinking..what if I got heart attack n will my child be able to take care of himself? what will happen to him.... sigh... indeed Life is so precious but many a times we just take things for granted.
Have a good weekend :)
