October No Fest
No pun intended.
October is coming to an end now and I only just realized that I haven’t updated my blog for almost a month.
So what’s happening in October?
My spare time and weekends have been filled with a tad too many gatherings and outings with old friends and ex-colleagues which I’m not really complaining though… … 
In fact, it was more than just a realization.
The girlfriend of a very good friend of mine has recently found out that there was a 5cm tumor inside her brain, after complaining weeks of consistent headaches. This took all of us totally off guard because just the weekend before the bad news came in, I was partying with them and everything looked absolutely normal.
And there I was, sitting outside the cold operation theatre on a breezy Saturday morning together with my friend while the surgery took place. I told him everything is going to be smooth & fine and the only thing we must do now is to remain our optimism and be positive.
But those teary eyes and the helplessness in him made my heart cringed. He said he would do anything to have her back, with a wry smile.
It hit me right there and then about how fragile life is.
And how we, the most fortunate human being of all, tend to take things for granted.
Body check up? End of the year first la.
Let’s do charity? When I make more money first la.
Fancy somebody but to date them? Still plenty of time left, wait first la.
Sound all too familiar?
Reality is, we just won’t know what’s round the corner awaiting us.
The Good news.
The surgery went exceptionally well. A week later, she has been given the clearance result that the tumor is benign. 
Sometimes the word "death" is just another vocabulary to many, and we won’t know how close the proximity is until something happened to people we love or around us.
Like in this case, it’s really a turning point for me.

I’m going for the Terry Fox Run this Sunday to help raise charity fund for the Cancer Research. I participated last year and this year (Read More), I’m going for the 6 km run.
But with my current deteriorating stamina, I just hope I won’t pass out mid way and have my friends to pick me up with their cars.

And with the few Halloween party invitations in hand, I’ll probably join Fanny and gang at Club21 tonight.
