Happy Chinese New Year
how time flies...
as i look back, i realized i have celebrated 3 CNYs since i was diagnosed with cancer.
3 years... some may consider me lucky to have live that long ...
i'm just so grateful i celebrated all the 3 christmases and CNYS alive and feeling good :-)
2008 CNY
my hair just re-growth back after chemo. yep.. brand new.
and i still remember i have to eat like a horse to gain back all the weight lost during op and chemo.
2009 CNY
it took me one whole year to grow my hair to this length. err... maybe i cut and trim it way too often, the mere excitement of getting my hair back after being bald.
this cheong sam was super (i emphasized SUPER) tight back then... so tight i can barely breathe (sigh, talking about vanity).
today, it's loose enough for me to fit my hand in... with free movement in between. yep, i'm yet to gain back my weight lost during the last episode.
2010 CNY
the first thing i notice, my hair is still the same length. ai!
although i look about the same physique as in 2009, i'm much lighter.. few kilos lighter.
i guess what's more important is that i'm feeling good ... and that matter the most :)
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to everyone!
2 weeks ago, i wrapped my arms around a little boy's bony shoulder. i hold his weak hands and told him (in really bad broken mandarin) that i understand it's much more harder to fight when you are in pain, weak and losing ... but he conquered it before and he can do it again. i asked him not to let go.
i received a text message today that he has passed away from a relapsed leukimia. i was in tears. it happenned so fast. life is so fragile.
