Be Health-conscious and Stay away from Diseases

Share with you something: My father's god sister is lying at Mount Elizabeth Hospital ward. She was still fine in April when my father last met her when he paid a visit to his god-mother. The god-mother is senile and cannot even recognise her children(She has over 10 children btw!). But there are some things which she can remember vividly, like how she had spent her childhood days at the kampong. It seems like she has lost her newer-stored memory.

Back to the topic of the god-sister, she started to have severe coughing in May and went to a doctor. Despite so, the coughs did not subside so she went for an x-ray. Then she found out that she has colon cancer. I guess its was a bit too late to discover that. And the cancerous cell spread to her brain(As related by god-sis's sister). She underwent a bain operation but it was a futile attempt. After the operation, she became a vegetable man. She has no ability to recognise anybody, has no motions except blinking of eyes. The doctor said she is considered dead, with her brain not functioning, and has no hope of recovery. My father visited her yesterday. The senile god-mother went too, but unable to recognise her daughter lying there. Neither did her daughter recognise her mother too. This is sad.

From what I heard from my father, his god-sister is a Buddhist. About 20 years ago, her husband, who was a high-ranking army officer, died in a car accident leaving behind her and her son who was ten years old then. i think it should be an accident that was work-related, that was why her son's education expenses were all covered by the army. Luckily there was compensation and insurance compensation, she got by without having to work (If her husband was alive, they should be a wealthy family). Instead she went to do volunteer work. Why is life so hard for kind-hearted ppl like her? Unfair!

My grandfather(my mother's father) lived till age 92 or 96, I forgot. He died of old age. He was healthy at his age and the only ailments were blindness and deafness. These two are unavoidable when you reach old age. The secret to stay so healthy is to avoid eating processed food, eg can food, instant noodles. He only ate rice and vegetables and meat sometimes.
So after knowing the god-sister's incident, we decide to try to eat less of instant noodles. We usually stock up many packets of maggie mee in ur cabinet cos they always come in handy when we are in rush of time. Now, I'll also try to avoid eating Mister potatao, Keropok and sweet stuff.
Health is the most impotant asset one should have.

Life sucks. We should be contented with our lives.
