recently....the only news that i'm getting are sad news...very sad news...is it true that as you get older,you get more news about death than birth? if it's true...then i'm really afraid of growing old...
well, one of my ex-colleagues just passed away...apparently he's been very sick and had been in the hospital for over a month or so...couldnt save him...heard it's lungs infection...very young man..divorced with a kid..poor kid....
then, my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer and the cancer has already evolved into the 2nd stage... not a benign one...so got to cut off the whole breast...and nope, that did not solve the problem...cancer cells spread to the lymphnotes...and so she has to undergo chemo and blah blah...very sad as her kids are very young..she got married late and her eldest daughter is only 4 years old...now i'm checking my breasts every other day...paranoid!
then brother of another colleague of mine got into a car accident in melbourne...something to do with drunk driving..not her brother but was hit by another driver who is drunk...went into coma..had to undergo brain surgery to take out blood clots...but thank god, he's stable now and is awake..so colleague is relatively happy...
today, aunt of another colleague is dying...colleague recieved a call and it seemed that his auntie may not be able to make it...he rushed off to the hospital and he's nervous as he doesnt want to see hiw mum break down...oh well, everyone will break down if your loved ones is dying...guess this is part and parcel of life..maybe that's why God gives us the ability to cry...so that we can express our grief and happiness...
and today, grandpa of another colleague was admitted to the hospital..suspected kidney stones..not serious but the grandpa is old..80 plus i think..although he said he's worried...but as i typed this..he's happily playing soccer somewhere in singapore...tsk tsk tsk! but oh well, he's really worried when he just got the news..so give him credit for that...
see every story that i've heard lately are sad stories...stories about people falling sick and people dying...seriously, if growing old is so scary..i wish i'm Peter Pan..but then again, i dont want to be Peter Pan..i want to grow old and experience the different stages in life...sighz, humans are so fickle..or maybe i should say...women are so fickle...
oh well, let us all grow old with grace and die with dignity!

I think we are all fickle minded when it comes to growing old and possibly dying? Even though we know that life now is merely a passing phase, but I guess it's just hard to accept. Oh no, I'm not making sense.
Its life we all have to go back to where we belong eventually
