Happenings...

Things happen really fast these days...

Since i last wrote anything on the blog, so much had happened. I can't say that it didn't have any effect on me. But being the stone that i am, it is hardly noticeable.

This will be the first of many years to come that i will no longer get angered by someone turning up the temperature of the aircon in my room.

No longer have someone spying on me when i watch TV till the wee hours.

No longer have someone "demanding" me to get food.

It is always the last rites on the day of the funeral procession when it gets most emotional. Stone as I might be, it still does affect me to a certain extent when you know that someone will no longer be there.

Someone.... My Father.... someone...

My only regret is that i will never have a chance to let him see me get married and have childrens. A worry that he held till his departure.

Then there is my friend who is currently in hospital fighting for her life. She is not in any immediate danger but it seems to me that the malicious cells are wreaking havoc in her body. First her neck, then her hip, then her lungs and then now her brain - resulting in a double vision in one of her eyes.

The immediate future, a series of radio and chemo therapy.

There is nothing much I can do, but to visit her now and then. It saddens me to see a friend in such a bad shape. But what else can i do?

"I'm not giving up as yet." These are indeed courageous words. And i wish her the best in her fight.

I have never made any resolutions. But I have made one. To do what I want. I've always thought that life is short. Now, I've come to realise it IS short. Why do I still waste my time doing something that I do not like? Why do I hold back on trying something that I thought I might be interested in?

My friend has lots of things that she wants to do, but whether she still has a chance to do most of them is anybody's guess.

So I'm resolved, no matter what, that I will attain what i want.
