the battle begins_feb 2007

the brand new year 2007 started rolling in with job and work related stress and i am beginning to feel the strain... am i not being to take stress? not too sure but i am tired... and at the crossroad too... should i stay or should i leave?

this job gave me the best remuneration so far in my career history and somehow got the feeling that at least now i am keeping up with my peers... but do i want to lead a no personal life job? or should i just find a more relax working environment but much lower perks and income? after much deliberation, i chose the latter...

before i leave i decided to go for some medical health screening which i have been holding back for a long time... finally decided to go for a short break holiday while i wait for the results and also embark on a new career...

tragedy strucks when i am back and got the results... a devaasting news which i was not prepared at all... did not expect to happen... i got the big c... the world came crashing down... i was crushed... susceptibly shattered... could not believe my ears when the doc told me that there is nothing could be done now except for immediate operation to remove it... is too late to save it... my mind is in a turmoil... i could not react as fast as i could and at the same time trying to hold back my emotions... i was not left with much choice... doc says must do it fast to prevent it from spreading... i thought i could wait while went back to work and planned to go ahead after work is more settled... however a phone call came from the hospital and was told doc wanted to speak to me urgently... better do now or regret later and the earliest slot was 3rd of chinese new year... just a week away... the rest is history...

things were fine after the operation and went back to work but did not last long as the battle begins when i went for another ct scan after the operations 3 months later...
