Post camp

Camp was totally fun! Thank God that everything went so smoothly.. and learnt so much! I really felt that I bonded closer to the other OCFers! I don't know why I still cant upload photos on blogger!! RAWR!

Anyway.. yarh.. starting work at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR) at Austin Hospital- Heidelberg which is donkey kong kilometers out of town.. but well.. think of those dying from cancer.. think of my grandma whom I saw suffering from colorectal cancer before my eyes... this stint at LICR will most probably never yield any revolutionary changes to cancer therapy.. its just discovering new cancer markers.. but.. at least its something worthy and honourable to undertake in the hope that whatever little I contribute will benefit research in ameliorating the pain and suffering of the cancer stricken..

As I've said to many- the worst thing about cancer isn't death-it is the fact that it kills u so slowly.. death is the ultimate release from cancer.. a heart attack shys in comparison of suffering.. at least it kills u that instant.. u die within minutes.. cancer kills u in years.. whilst striping away ur biological functions SLOWLY.. worst.. 1 in 3 will die from it..

Though this be my holiday, I think its important that I undertake this.. to learn more and also in memory and dedication to my beloved grandmother who I dedicate my best efforts to.
