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.

yes, life is fragile. too fragile for those who are kind. i am not saying the surviving are not, lol. but one thing i've noticed. most of the weak/sick are very nice, kind and understanding people.
anyway, i must tell you, you look healthier than the other two pics! honest!
so it's not just about the weight ya? we are going to keep as healthy and robust as possible. fighting each day, living every moment, like a well worn mug. it's way prettier than an untouched vase sitting in the cupboard eh? lol. what a metaphor!
love you, lisaone. keep on! xxx
oh, my manners.. Happy Lunar New Year, sweet love! muacks! xxx
A Blessed Lunar New Year to u too, Lisa... let us see u in another sexier outfit in 2011 :) strive on, lady!
Happy New Year to you.
You still look good as ever.
Life is fragile, yes it is. So we'll have to live every day to its fullest.
gong xi fa cai to you! u're looking really good.
agree with you that life is too fragile which is why we need to remind ourselves to live life to the fullest everyday.
take care lisa!
looking good, Lisa.
Happy Chinese New Year!
Hi, blog hopping. I was my mom's caregiver when she was in KL for her chemotherapy. She has colon cancer (stage 3). She completed chemo 3 months ago and gained back almost all the weight lost and she is doing very well now though she did suffer a lot during chemo time. Stay Strong And Positive Always.

Hey Lisa, you look fabulous! Hope you had a great CNY celebration.... The news about the little child is really sad. Makes us feel lucky to have healthy kids. I know what I'm about to say sounds so heartless. But don't let the child's passing away affect you. You deserve to live on year after year healthily. And you will.
hugs, Dawn

Hi there, I came across your blog from Zara & zaria's blog. Coincidentally, I was feeling a little down and depressed today due to work matters. Your blog gave me a good smack on my head! What is there for me to be depressed about? I love your enthusiasm about life and I especially love your courage. You keep fighting, girl!!!!
love your new 'avatar'. muacks and kisses too. xxx
