First & fore most...sorry for the late updates on my everyday journeys~
Life had been busy for me cos I am working very hard each day....so dont rushed me in updating blog! Ah HAO wait patiently lah...but thanks dude for a 'ON" supporter! THANKs... and also the rest of my friends...

Woke up today morning at 10am. Lazy to drive my mum out to market in the morning wee hours. She woke me up at 7am but I told her...TIRED...let me have my slp. So dad drove her to market instead & they have their own breakfast before packing it for 2nd sis, husband & I. Had minced pork noodles. YUMMY! before breakfast which I took at 12pm...I was cleaning up long^er tankie! so DIRTY...1month nvr wash its tank. SO decided to give it a gd scrub...

After washing had my noodles & sat down for newspaper reading! Read through the straits times...POLITICAL issues as usual cos 2weeks to election! anyway not really interested cos I cant vote yet but as a singaporean I must know whats going home politically....

Came across the Lifestyle section..read this section abt a life of a Young Teeny Singaporean Girl, named Joan ...let me cut & paste a short blog she wrote back on 22March entry:

" hey guys this is just an update for all who wants to know how i am now. i just talked to the doctor and i asked him to be totally honest with me about my condition. Apparently there is a big patch of cancer cells on the left side and the back of my neck. it is impairing the blood flow from my face to the rest of the body that's why my face is swollen. the nerves controlling my left hand starts from the neck too that's why my left hand trembles and the finger tips are numb. the cancer has eaten into the small bone near the left ear and it's blocking the tube that connects the ear to the neck. it is causing fluid to build up behind my ear drum. this has resulted in tinitus, which is this buzzing sound in my ear, and mild hearing loss in the left ear as well. the cancer has also affected my spinal cord, causing one section to be loose which is why i always have to hold my head as my spine can't support my head anymore. to fix this problem, i have to wait till the cancer's gone then go for surgery again to fix it. i cannot be operated on as the operation would be too dangerous and radiotherapy is out of the option as i just went through one cycle of it. therefore, my options are limited and i just want to say my dear friends, i am prepared for the worst. but i want to thank all of you for your love and care. i will not give up till the very end and i hope i will be remembered in your hearts as a fighter always. "

I admired Joan when I read of her plight in the newspaper today...
So LiYun dont u ever give up till the day u really fall into the arms of GOD....I wan you to live on and fight on like Joan...nvr say die....

Well count ourselves lucky as we can see, laugh & walk...unlike many of our befallen friends on mother earth....I ponder in my sense of thoughts...that TREASURE every1 we have b4 it is too late....

Sometimes felt like giving up in life due to many problems but today I learnt a lesson from her...compared my problems to hers...mine were peanuts...yet she does not give up and continues battling hard....so today I SET MYSELF FREE...look on the brighter side of life...and work hard...nothing gonna stop me anymore...promise my friends out there u will see a BRAND NEW JEREMY in months okie?

I wish JOAN all the best and hope a miracle would fall upon her....recovery....keep on fighting...may GOD BLESS U...
