6 months.

What will you do if someone tells you that you have six month left to live?

Another friend's father is diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and the doctor told him straight to his face that he has 6 months left. Wow. How easy it is for the doctor to say it out without thinking how this news might affect the patient. It's definitely going to be a big blow for the parties involved.

"be kind to everyone you meet because they might be fighting a battle."

And sometimes it's sad that we need a stranger to tell us how much time we have left before we truly treasure our life and the people around us.

You know as you grow older, you realised that what's most important is not money but health and of course your family. No matter how rich you are, at the end of the day if your health fails you, that's it. And I start to wonder again why are we working so hard and ended up neglecting so many things/ people and ourself.

One of my client's mother told me today you can die but never fall sick in Singapore. And this is not the first time I'm hearing this, in fact I heard this twice within 2 weeks? The gov seriously need to do something about those costly medical bills....
