my debut blog

According to my lunar calendar, I should be fifty eight and moving towards a new chapter in my life when I enjoy the fruits of my marriage, child-birth and work. Somehow, it felt surreal as the twilight years are not tempting enough for me to give up or slow down. I still have zest, hence my blog name sunnybunny. I'm a rabbit by Lunar calendar and have always believed that those born under this animal sign generally have a blessed and charmed life. Everything in career and family is smooth generally. I now head 3 units within investment advisory in a private bank, earns the respect from my staff and management, has 2 mature, responsible sons, a supportive retired husband and my crowning glory to be demonstrated this Saturday when I receive my graduate certificate for NUS International Arbitration Course. A non-law graduate and one who has not done any tests under exam conditions for the last 30 years, I'm happy that I passed it and obtained good grades at that.

So why the pensiveness? I discovered I had breast cancer 2 weeks ago, was operated a week later and about to see my oncologist tomorow. It is an understatement that the past 2 weeks went through like a fastforward sequence on a video. It was long enough however to prepare myself mentally for the rough journey to come, thanks to support from family, office and friends. I'm not about to give up and have said to my friends that I'm not handed capital punishment. My sentence of fine, caning and imprisonment still gives me hope for freedom at the end of the ordeal.

Will continue tomorow... Some friends are here to see me...
