virus/bacteria infection
------------------------
is already a month old news but worth blogging, why?
i believe it's kinda outbreak in s'pore as usual as many of my friends, brother & even my boss also have on medical leave
yiyi also not being spared this time
high fever, up & down for few days for no reason
initially we suspect appendix & send to TTSH (local hospical) for scanning but after some consultation, it should be just fever
somehow.. still useless as we're giving some paracetamol but the fever still going up & down, imagine over 43+ degree Celsius?
we've been to clinic, twice TTSH & even thomson medical
but alas.. TM (Thomson Medical)'s medical expert on antibiotic cure yiyi...
somehow, it come with a price.. no wonder the old saying : in s'pore, u can die but can't get sick because, u'll never can afford the bills.
TTSH - $80 x2
TM - $242
clinic - around $30
CDC - around $80 (communicable disease centre) for bacteria analysis
i guess in total we spend around $510 for this small little fever
u can also compare the government hospital versus private hospital (TM) expertise in such area... one time, straight to the point & effective while for ... haiz... we waste time & money but what's the outcome?

big-day
--------
argh.. i should write something on my special big-day
actually guys over 30, not really keen on celebrating because.. sooner or later, the whole cake also stuck with candles.
i learn something over the years... after 25/26, every week pass very (real) fast, its a scary experience & out of sudden :
ops.. CNY coming or
ops.. christmas again!
how am i celebrate?
as with my colleagues, we're just having simple dinner & is a buffet... somehow, after few bowls of soup, glasses of soft-drink & chinese tea.. how much can these guys take in?
disappointed... & wasteful but do appreciate them as we're still stuck with our SAP system
my actual day
no greetings from my parents as usual my mum always try to argue with me that on our birthday.. instead, we should buy present for her as she doing the hardwork & give birth to us. so we should buy her present.
as for my yiyi, she bought me few stuffs
somehow she complaining that i'm greedy & almost make her bankrupt.
aiyaa.. she got increment & also got extra bonuses, much more loaded than me
she bought me a nice cake & an expensive presents
yep..indeed expensive
thank you vv much & much appreciated the gifts
frankly speaking, a set of braun buffel (wallet + key pouch) which cost around SGD200..
i'll think, think n think, will think many2 months before i buy.
so how expensive is the presents?
neh.. here's my LV wallet n key pouch

wallet + key pouch = (SGD655+SGD360) = SGD1015
huh.. if i let my mum know that i'm carrying a set of RM2400 (wallet + key-pouch), i think she'll go mad
somehow most of my buddies carrying Gucci wallets too, all bought by their gf.
so u say expensive or not?
somehow.. my b'day spoilt by my landlord
whata fxxx...the water heater is rusty & the cost of changing it cost around $500
they're trying to spin around & ask me to pay half of the cost which is stupid..
all the years, i'm the one who help them maintain the house, change this n that, etc.. they only want to rent out the apartment & collect rent netly without maintaining anything, so disappointed.
if not because of my sis, i already move-out long ago.
i dun wish to spend large chunk of my salary for this kinda stupid old apartment without any facilities
even my current boss scold me for not financially rational : that i should move to a cheaper HDB flat, save those money & get yrself a car instead of dump all yr hard-earn money into this kinda apartment.haiz...

Our existing in Earth
---------------------
something does pondered me for years.. yet i still can't get an answer for it.
we talk about religions, talk about taking the correct path in life, talk about faith, talk about many-many things... but who can answer me :
- why do we ever exists?
- what's our objective in this world?
know your life-cycle of life?
