In this entry, I would like to express my condolence to one of my schoolmate.
He passed away last week Monday due to Leukemia.
It is a cancer of the blood or bone marrow and is characterized by an abnormal proliferation (production by multiplication) of blood cells, usually white blood cells, leukocytes.
He was diagnosed with Leukemia after having fever on and off last year.
According to my friends who were in the same class as them, before he passed away,
he did a few out of the ordinary things.
He even wrote a letter before he passed away.
I guess he could not take the pain any longer.

Even though I do not know them (they're twins) well.
I realised that twins will always be well known especially in school. Everyone knows them and recognized them immediately. I have cousins who are twins, they're guys and the same age as I am. yeah, they're popular in sch. no doubt. I guess its the same for all twins around the world.

Anyway, thats not my point. My point is losing your other twin who you shared 17 years of your lives with. They grew up with each other having each other side by side. People always get confused which is which or who is who when they see twins because they look almost alike but not alike. Ah well, I have nothing much to say abt this.

A few of my friends cried in school early in the morning before our exams started.
Some of them even ditched exams just to see their dear friend.
So much so, they even got scolded by (i rather not mention) for being so dumb to ditch it and straight away left school just to see them.
But hey, if I was in their shoes, I would probably do the same thing. Its hard to say actually.

One of my classmates had Leukemia too but he's really strong trying to overcome with it.
I've seen him from the time he was a healthy person to a unwell person and he came back stronger than before.
Its heartbreaking to see it actually.
I've lost my grandmother due to this ultimately herculean deadly disease. not leukemia but due to lung cancer. She wasn't a smoker.
All my life, I've seen her leading a healthy lifestyle, eating healthy and balanced food and still strong enough to do house chores.
Chemotherapy is extremely excruciating from what i saw.
The side effects are not just losing your hair or having you gum bleed or losing weight.
ugh.

Life is short.
Sometimes, people don't know what they have and cherish them until they lose it.
This is just a general statement.
