” I’M ACTUALLY QUITE CONTENTED”
For Mr. Afif, the fear of dying and how the conflict seem to be stacked against him also occasionally creep in.
It’s prompted him to begin thinking about end-of-life realities.
” I did tell my mother that if my cancer increases, and the physician says there’s no means procedure may happen, I wanted to go to hospital because it’ll be easier on everyone”, he said.  ,
” That means, the home can do their own issues too. I just do n’t want to disturb their peace.
” But to be honest… you do n’t know when you’re going to die, it could take months or just a few days. ”  ,
With his mother quitting her job to care for him and his younger brother still studying, his father and younger sister are the breadwinners of the family, earning a total of around S$ 3, 000 ( US$ 2, 200 ) a month.
Mr. Afif created a crowdfunding page in August to raise funds for upcoming medical bills, health expenses, including chemotherapy and radiation, as well as basic living expenses.
As of Nov 21, he has raised about S$ 4, 000 out of a S$ 35, 000 purpose.
However, Mr. Afif has been working hard by attempting to complete his year-long suspensioned movie certification program so that he can concentrate on his cancer therapy.
He will begin his studies in January, and he will earn an April graduation.
On the other hand, he’s also working on a lightly based movie about his career to raise awareness of the difficulties young cancer people face and give them hope.
But his top goal is still their home and his desire to spend the most time with them.  , They late holidayed along in Malacca and Kuala Lumpur.  ,
” We’ve certainly grown closer,” said Mr Afif.
We all used to be so busy that I would arrive late to work so I could n’t spend much time with them before I got sick.
” But then we all talk more, and we sit down to include foods up. It’s great”.
The possibility of leaving his aging parents behind is what most obviously bothers him.
” I am very concerned about them, especially my uncle, who is also sick”, said the eldest of three babies,  , citing his father’s heart problem.  ,
He went silent for a few hours, deep in thought.
He said,” I told my younger brother and sister that Mama and Papa must be looked after if I went.”  ,
” My parents worked hard, provided us with meals every day, and provided us with a bed.”
” I want them to be looked after, yet if I die second.”
His family, who had been sitting near and using her smartphone, reached for a muscle.
Obviously overcome, she silently wiped the tears welling in her eyes and took a mouth.
With his returning to her,  , Mr Afif never saw any of that.
