decade. As part of his philosophy of giving back to society, he has
compiled the details of his journey from a seemingly healthy life
into the throes of a life-threatening disease. The events he
discusses in Moments are based upon his real-life experiences as a
patient. When he finally sought a second opinion after months of
what appeared to influenza, his life was forever changed by the
outcome of the doctor's findings. His story reveals the journey and
challenges that he experienced while battling nasopharyngeal
carcinoma, commonly known as cancer of the throat. He recounts
errors in judgment, missteps that could be avoided, oversights, and
consequences that he had to endure as a patient. He candidly and
poignantly discusses the effect his disease had on his friendships.
In fact, he categorized his friendships into three groups: true
friends, friends, and dubious friends. The hurt he experienced when
he realised that many of his friends could not handle his illness
was deep. His perseverance and determination, along with the love
of family and friends, made this unexpected journey manageable,
bearable, and memorable. Now he seeks to inspire and motivate
others to move forward courageously when faced with challenging
circumstances during their life's journeys.

To make essential oils, it needs to be extracted from the plant.
This can be done through expression and distillation. Expression,
also referred as cold pressing, expression is method used to
extract oils from citrus fruits like lime, orange, tangerine,
lemon, and bergamot. In the past, expression doesn't require any
sorts of tools except for a sponge. After soaking the citrus rind
or zest, it will be pressed against the sponge repeatedly to absorb
the oil. The sponge will then be squeezed over a container to catch
the oils and allow it to separate from its juices. After a few
hours, the oils will be siphoned off and bottled. A modern type of
expression involves using a blender-like device that's equipped
with spikes. Once the citrus zest, rind, or peel is placed into the
device, it will rotate and prod and prick the citrus until the oils
are released. Oil will be collected at the bottom of the device and
bottled immediately.
