:(

remember me saying about how i dread to go for biochemistry lectures? how i complain / rant bout the way he teaches ? how he always laughing on silly jokes and tries very hard to make the lecture entertaining yet fails? (to me la.. not sure with wat the other students think).. well.. now i know y he is so happy all the time.. even it's biochemistry.. and that is...


he has less than a year to live..


it was shocking when Dr Lott, a substitute lecturer announce bout Dr Ron's brain cancer...


2 years ago, the doctor told him that he will have maximum 3 years to live. no one has ever survived from this malignant brain tumor.  yes. zero. however, he thought he can be the first to fight this cancer... 


and he thought he did..the tumor got smaller..and he continued his passion for teaching biochemistry this year. 


however, just last week, he went for his usual medical check up and got to know that the malignant brain tumors have spread all over his brain.. n there's no way to remove them.. it's too risky..


i think he has already expected this to happen....


just so sad...


just that day, Dr Lott bought a 
card for us to scribble down some messages for Dr Ronn... almost everyone in the class said get well soon n similar msges. which i think it's not the appropriate msges for him now...i mean i'm being realistic.! some on the other hand, said how much they appreciate his teachings n etc. how enjoyable they were n etc. 
when my turn came, i just wrote two words.
that is
Carpe Diem
"Seize the day"

i'll pray for u, Ronn..

and i will promise u that i will get a 6 or a 7 for my biochemistry..
i shall not fail u

Take care

i hate it when educators get sick or something along those lines. I had 3, one's battling thyroid, one's battling cancer, and another passed away from lung cancer... ><

you'll never think of them being sick, and when you found out about it, usually it's far too late and it's time to say goodbye...

i came back from my lecturer's funeral over easter, and cried my eyes out... hate it...

carpe diem is good. joie- de-vivre is better...
