*Time extended* for report and hopefully more than that. =)

Didn't do much today, although did reach 37 pages and 5800+ words yesterday =). Just formatted everything i had done so far for FYP report and sent it to Butler. Rather tired now, not really in the mode to do anything.

I guess it boils down to the Doc appointment tomorrow. Other than the usual blood test, which i had not done for the pass half a year, i will be getting the CT scan results back. It has been a long time since i had such a scan, the last one was actually almost 2 years back, about a year and 9 months ago, the PET scan. The scan that costs S$2,000 AFTER subsidy, where i get injected with radio-active glucose ... BUT it was happy results as it showed i was clear of cancer cells and thus i am in remission.

Feeling rather nervous now ... heh. Surprisingly, more nervous than i am for exams. hiaz ... somehow, exams are such a small thing compared to knowing the results for the CT scan. I guess it is perspective in life, and to think that this is something which i have rather limited control over. Lets list my lifestyle before cancer and now ...

Before --------------------------------->After
Dont smoke ---------------------------->Dont smoke
Dont drink ---------------------------->Dont drink
Less veg in diet --------->A lot more veg + fruits in diet
Good sleep -------------->Good sleep + more now
Stress in Navy (2 yrs after retirement)--->N.A. cos retired liao
Not much stress in Uni ----------->Not much stress now also
No mediation -------------->Mediation + relaxation
Lots of mahjong ->Still mahjonging (though dont think it is a factor)
Mountain biking --------->No stamina after chemo


So in conclusion, the things i have control over is diet, sleep and meditation. Lets hope it is enough and i can pass tomorrow's CT scan. heh. thus the battle to complete FYP report continues tomorrow afternoon. Looking forward to the good news tomorrow. =)
