39 more days!

holy crap, i started counting down with it was eighty plus more days! haha, i remember ken asking me this question ' isnt it slower if you count down in this manner?' ha, ken look at it now, its 39 more days! haha. damn fast man, i have nothing to say~ haha.

moments ago i read yu's blog. oh man, yu you are so outdated! haha, that drama is out so damn long ago le! haha, its damn good right? i rated the drama 4.75/5. it would have gotten a 5/5 should the girls boyfriend be more shuai! haha.

neuropathy is really scary ya. it slowly eats into a person, depriving the person if EVERYTHING. yes, everything. Basic independence is gone, people suffering from such diseases will soon be a form of hindrance to his/her friends and family. The drama highlighted the reality of the society, bring rendered useless = off you go/ alienation!

Some people are born with the genetic disposition towards certain disease such as congenital diabetes, deficiency of certain enzymes which results in neuropathy (PKU) and many many more. From the outside, they may seem like a normal kid ( not including patients with severe physical impairment) , however, there is a bomb buried deep down within them. It threatens to explode anytime and anywhere. The uncertainty of when the problem will 'blossom' is definitely a pain in the ass ba. Everyone wants to lead a normal life, having normal diet, doing things that you enjoy, basically not having any restrictions. Sadly, those people are not granted this luxury. Its a luxury to them but yet its something that many take for granted. My advice is to treasure what you have and not regret should you lose it.

Genes, we have been learning so much about it. We learn how they are passed down, replicated and so on. Diseases resulting in neuropathy (such as huntington's disease) can be passed down from one generation to another. What happens if you are one of them with such genetic diseases? What would you do? Would you want to even get married as you know that sooner or later you will be a burden to your love one? would you just give up on your life as you know sooner or later you will be bed ridden, being rendered as useless and so on? haha, life is definitely tough for such people ya. I really pity them man. Like yu said in her blog, Y IS IT ME?!

thinking about the possible future! My IDEAL future is one that is so fantasy like, in fact it seems so fairy tale like to me. haha. I inspire to venture into the neuro area as its a field with so much uncertainty. How i wish i would have sufficient time to make some break through in this area! So much more to discover yet so little time! i have to race against time i suppose. its a race that i must not lose.
