Reflections..

This weekend isn't the most fantastic. Have been out of sorts after visiting a close friend in hospital diagnosed with cancer. Things haven't been looking good after her relapse - so she could only receive pain-management treatment to relieve her of the discomfort.

I can't help but start to recall how we first met. I was sec 2; she was only pri 5. It was during a dinner treat from our piano teacher. Being the bitchy me, I didn't quite like her too much then as I found her unneccesarily-giggly and thought that she was trying too hard to be nice. Sub-consciously, her big-hearted and selfless nature just endeared her to me after I got to know her better overtime. Her nice-ness just puts me to shame. I had finally understood why she was our teacher's favourite. She's undoubtedly the perfect student/friend/daughter/sister/girlfriend...

Life is never fair, I know - else everyone would be born just as gorgeous-looking and rich. Still I just can't accept the fact that an angel like her will be struck with such a dreadful illness. This mishap made me feel that many things are just transient in life. Should we compare ourselves base on the glamorous job we hold, the amt of money stashed away in our bank accounts, the fancy designer dresses we wear, the branded bags we carry? All these 'achievements' turn meaningless when faced with unfortunate situations like these.

I think its high time I re-evaluate my values and priorities in life...
