Taste Buds

My taste buds have gone cranky since the Chemo. It is rather hilarious. Expect the unexpected. Anything that still tastes like what it should be is such a blessing.

Here's a sample:
Watermelon Juice = Soy Sauce
Cranberry Juice = Soy Sauce
Orange Juice = Soy Sauce
Bak Kwa = Bittergourd

Apple = Bittergourd

Luckily M&Ms bitter chocolates, which are high in antioxidents (very good for me), tastes the same. Oh ya, ice-cream too. Yums. :)

Hihi Shandy!

Pardon me for leaving you a note because:
1. we don't know each other
2. I just happen to chance upon your blog
3. I'm also a fellow cancer patient aged 26, down with lymphoma cancer stage 4 (final stage haha~).

I guess you've already heard more than enough consolations & encouragement & advices & whatsoever etc etc etc. Maybe because I'm a guy that's why I wasn't afraid of cancer at all. Even though I knew it's the final stage, in the end I was comforting everyone else instead of the other way round. Brave? Nah just that I know I'm too young to die. Stubborn sounds more accurate haha~

Reading all your entries remind me of all the side effects I've gone through as well. Yucks! Stupid chemo! Stupid side effects!

Anyway if you don't mind, I'll include my blog http://kaiyan.multiply.com/ & msn zulanrus@hotmail.com
Keep in touch fellow cancer fighter & soon-to-be cancer survivor!
