Thoughts..

It's a brand new year already. I'm hoping that this year things will get better for me as life goes on. 2007 to me wasn't exactly good. Here's a little summary about it.

Started off 2007 normally. Don't remember anything much that happened in Jan and Feb. In March, we had this yearly guides camp organized by the rangers. The competitions that we had to prepare for kept us very busy and this was all normal. Everything went smoothly until one of the members in my patrol actually stole my phone. Hmm. Fortunately, her dad found out and returned the money. Lesson learnt; Think twice about the people you trust. One incident I would remember for a long time.

In April and May, this was when things started getting bad in my life. Found out that mum's sick. She had cancer, this life threatening disease. It was in stage 2. The news really made me very very sad. I still remember the night when she told me about it. Was very hard for me to accept it and I kept hoping to myself that this was all a dream. Unfortunately, it wasn't. This 2 months was when she had those operations and all. Those sleepless nights that I had. It made me realize how much I really love and treasure my mum.

In June, brother came back for summer holidays. He has been studying in Sheffield for 3 years now. Taught me lots of new stuff from different aspects. He gives me advises and all. Always keeps track on the things I do and the people I mix with. Honestly, sometimes I feel like he is more like a dad to me. I know he cares a lot for me but at times it makes me feel very uneasy about it.

In July to September, mum went through chemotherapy. This process wasn't easy at all. Seeing mum so weak and her hair dropping day by day just made me felt miserable. To me, mum's really a superwoman. It must have been very hard for her. Going through all these without dad by her side. End of September, bro went back to UK.

In October, took the PMR examinations. Didn't really prepare early as planned but I managed to study everything. This month, mum had to do radiotherapy. She was feeling much better then. Her hair started growing too. I know that she was always trying to be happy and positive, but deep within she was still very worried about the sickness. So was I.

In November, I had headache for almost 3 weeks. Everyday. Really worried much. Consulted the doctor and finally went for MRI. Thankfully, the results of the brains were all normal. Nothing special happened in December except for PMR results day. The rest of the days in Nov and Dec was spent by having outings with my dearest friends.

Tomorrow, I'll be accompanying mum to the hosp. She has to do some scan. Hopefully, it's gonna be good.

All in all, many things happened. Many things changed. There were the good times as well as the bad. All that I've been through has just made me stronger now. Right now, I wish that everything I pray for everyday may come true. A very special thank you to those few friends who were there to help me always. Truly appreciates it. And you, for being there with me all along when I had to go through everything.

Lastly, I hope that 2008 will be a HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D
