I was checking my DHS mail this morning, and I found this.

生命的感动

2008820日,是我生命中一个极不寻常的日子。我去国大医院预约专家门诊做检查,检查的结果让我和我的家人震惊。往日平静的生活被改变了,突如其来的打击使我和我的家人陷入了悲痛之中。看着妈妈伤心地流泪,我只能强忍住泪水来安慰她:我会坚强,我会好起来的!
随着一系列的检查和治疗,疾病带来的痛苦与日俱增。治疗产生的副作用让我难受、呕吐,没胃口,全身无力。更可怕的是口腔溃疡,无法吞咽各种食物。体质变得越来越差,伤口的疼痛也折磨得我苦不堪言。每一天都仿佛是在黑暗里行走,漫长而无助。当我无奈地躺在病床上时,脑海里就会浮想联翩:想以前平常的读书生活,现在看来是多么的幸福和快乐!上课,打球,下棋,与同学学习讨论......。如今,却变成了一种奢侈!往日的生活历历在目,回忆成了我些许的快乐和安慰,而今却一下子掉进了深渊!无助而孤独,恐惧且不安。病魔无情,人间有爱。是老师关心和探望,是同学们的一句句真诚问候与支持,给了我信心和勇气,让我渐渐改变了心情,变得乐观,勇于正视现实,不再逃避,以积极的心态去面对一切挑战!
我是不幸的,同时又是幸运的。在治疗的过程当中,得到了来自社会、学校的很多关怀:老师和同学们积极踊跃地为我捐款,切实解决了我的后顾之忧;CCF的社工为我提供了大量的励志书籍和有关治疗的知识,为我今后的身体保健、饮食习惯的改变提供了依据;MAKE WISHING协会还专门举办了终身难忘的生日派对;老师和同学们常常抽出宝贵的时间来看我,给我带来学校新的资讯的同时,还给我带来了快乐;有的家长还亲自上门送来营养品;老师们更是牺牲休息时间抓紧给我补课;特别是我的班主任Mr.Gi对我的关心和帮助更是无微不至,甚至为方便我去学校,实现我重回学校学习的梦想,让出自己的家,提供给我们住,每天早上来接我上学;现在校长为更加方便我上下学,让我住进学校宿舍......。所有这些让我感受到了人间温暖,在精神上给了我极大的鼓舞和勇气。滴水之恩,当涌泉相报。这些深情厚意已变成一股暖流在身体里涌动,时刻激励着我勇往直前,不畏困难,以微笑来面对明天,我为我是德明一分子而感到自豪。我会努力去上课、补课,把落下的功课尽快补回来,在未来的A水准考试中,尽自己最大努力考出好成绩,以报答关心我支持我的人们,以“勇忠”宗旨,报答母校—我最挚爱的德明政府中学!真诚地谢谢您,我的老师,我的同学!

This was written by Zijia, whom most Dunmanians should know by now. It's really touching when you read about these kind of stuff, especially when you know that they are real and they can happen to just about anybody.
So, treasure your life to the fullest, and don't do anything you'll regret. Don't keep wallowing in self-pity if you stumble and fall. It's not the worst thing that can happen and there are others worse off than you. So just pick yourself up, brush the dirt off and step forward with renewed courage.
Life is too short for regrets.

BACKTRACK TO YESTERDAY
P.E was tiring haha!I saw that Calvin was also feeling very tired from Thursday's PT (:
Jiayou all DHSBT people! Work hard and you shall see the results you worked for.
I didn't expect myself to be able to do any inclined pull-ups. I thought I could only do like 3 before I collapsed. So that's why I was panicking with Shixun before our turn arrived.
I surprised myself by doing 11 haha! Sorry Shixun..jiayou!
Sit-ups were okay, except that I was slightly off-form. I have to do more!

Maths flew by at a very fast rate. Although I was slightly confused due to the different kinds of graphs of exponential equations, I still had fun (: Jiayou all 3K math class people for common test this coming tuesday!!

L.A was superbly funny :D
Mrs Kumaran kept us entertained with funny stories about level camps and all sorts of weird stuff when she saw that we were very tired. She's such a nice teacher :D

Geography was interesting :D
Haha Mr Lee kept on saying he becomes like Mr Chiang when he teaches Population. Both of them are nice teachers anyway haha! Don't know why, but I find population easier to think about that tourism and industries. Maybe I'm more in-tune with it and it's mainly common sense anyway. Now the notes Alyssa gave me during Year 1 will come in handy!

Training was okay (:
Stroked and did drills with Dionis.
Doubles with Dionis vs Jasmine and jt; lost rubberset (must train more!and jiayou jt and jasmine! be DHS b girls '10 first doubles)
Doubles with Tzelin vs Jasmine and jt; won straight set
Singles vs jt ; draw haha! Because she won first set, I won second set, and JL stopped us at the third set.
60 pushups and situps, then end of training!
Ate at Parkway macs with team where we entertained ourselves with Dionis' perception of 'normal' :D

Slept for a very long time last night :D
11.30pm - 9am haha! :D

Just realised how I love Jesse Mccartney! :D

How do you sleep

It's been about a year now
ain't seen or heard from you
I've been missing you crazy
how do you, how do you sleep
I found the letter you wrote me
it still smells just like you
damn those sweet memories
How do you, how do you sleep, how do you sleep.

I tried my best at moving on have yet to find a girl like you
I see things that I didn't before and I'm wishing I had more time with you,
How do you stay awake knowing all I do is think of you
All the things we thought about that never will happen again if I could just see you

If I had my way I'll come and get you girl
In your favorite car with the missing top
man around my way where we used to park
and did all those things to steal your heart

It's been about a year now
ain't seen or heard from you
I've been missing you crazy
how do you, how do you sleep
I found the letter you wrote me
it still smells just like you
damn those sweet memories
How do you, how do you sleep, how do you sleep.

Baby all that I hear from my friends again and again and again (they come and ask about you) (they say) we saw your girl at the game and damn we gotta say a big mistake by you.
Not only does your body bang but I miss the conversation too
Tell me that you couldn't sleep can't think can't eat till I come see you

If I had my way I'll come and get you girl
In your favorite car with the missing top
man around my way where we used to park
and did all those things to steal your heart

It's been about a year now
ain't seen or heard from you
I've been missing you crazy
how do you, how do you sleep
I found the letter you wrote me
it still smells just like you
damn those sweet memories
How do you, how do you sleep, how do you sleep

I took 45 minutes to post this haha! :D
