The strangest thing about aging process
Is when your body starts telling you not to eat unhealthy food
I assume it doesn't happen to everyone
I know of many friends whom could not wean off their favourite char kway teow and sea hum
And they are in their fifties
Sometimes the craving kicks in once in a blue moon and I would have a sinful serving of coconut milk laden Malay food for lunch
Maybe even a 3-piece KFC chicken meal with all the frills they throw in
I would usually feel sick therafter, maybe even for the rest of the day
I could visualise my body sending signs of protestations all over
Objecting to my choice of diet and punishing me with indigestion and bouts of nausea
I should have just stuck to my usual tasteless and bland lunch of yong tau foo soup and porridge
Sorry for the boring food rants today
I have been unable to get my spirits up since a piece of bad news I received yesterday
One of my closest friends have been diagnosed with bladder cancer
At the prime of his life, about to get married end of this year to his lovely beau of 7 years
At the peak of his career, he just achieved the two biggest goals of his life
To own his beautiful dream home and marry his sweetheart
I have never seen him break down in all these years I'd known him
We have shared so much, our dreams, aspirations and secret fears
The years we have worked hard together, attempting success in our careers
Maybe it's not the nasi goreng I had for lunch
Maybe it's the ugly twist of fate that leaves a nasty after-taste in the mouth
We all know acceptance comes eventually
But it is like what he said
It just never occurred to us because we are so young and we thought we were invincible for now
But of course,
We're not.

The year was 1993
I decided that either
God does not care
or He does not exist,
when a fucker like
Lee Hsien Loong
gets cancer
and refused to die.
People have died
for far lesser reasons
These people are invincible.
They've got the invincible genes and they live forever.
Please give your friend strength and ask him be strong and not give up hope.
It would mean very much to people around him that he fights it.
Interesting updates: They couldn't find anything inside him now that they inserted a scope into him to find out if it is external or invasive bladder cancer.
Investigations continue and results pending.
We are all praying hard this is a mis-diagnosis.
Given that it is TTSH (again), I won't be surprised.
