Feel like talking about flowers... Lavender, one of my must see live list. We were sooo lucky, managed to see it during our honeymoon, eventhough all almost dried. I insisted Dil to stop by the lavender garden, on our way back from Queenstown to Christchurch. The garden is just by the highway. There were these 2 small sheds, one looks like a gardening store and the other one was the shop with all range of lavender product. I tot of buying dried lavender and the perfume oil, but then i dont want the lavender to crash into pieces when we back home. In the end, I didnt buy anything.
Tulip, also used to be one of my must see live list. Since I studied in the US, tulips are everywhere during spring time. Most of them are red, yellow and bright colors. But this particular color on the right, I find it so exotic. This is the exact tulip they grew in front of my uni library. Still can feel the excitement to see tulip in my favorite color, purple. Sadly, didn't get the chance to pose with it. But still, rose is my all time favorite flower.

Just finished 1 prog in the morning, now start new prog. Never ending storyyyy... Yesterday, I got a sad news. My ex collegue now in critical stage of breast cancer. She cannot sleep and very2 ill. She has been in her hometown in T'ganu resting but her family in KL requests to bring her back to KL. Just found out that she's now in KL. Plan to visit her in Kg Baru Medical Center tomorrow evening after work, with all my ex collegues. Actually she found out about the cancer in 2003, the same year i left my 1st company. After the lump removed, she went thru a lot of chemo sessions. Chemotherapy is a systemic therapy; this means it affects the whole body by going through the bloodstream. The purpose of chemotherapy and other systemic treatments is to get rid of any cancer cells that may have spread from where the cancer started to another part of the body. I guess this chemo therapy only works for about 3 years to my friend's body system. But I continue to doa for her recovery. Just wanna share some info on preventing breast cancer.
