just sad that I'll have to eat less of my favourite things ......
and in the other news, for the first time in my life, I'm going to call up friends in the insurance industry .... suddenly, I feel that my medical coverage is not enough ......
and now I'm thinking of upping my self contribution to CPF as a self employed .... medisave is never enough it seems ... and now CPF seems very very attractive.
it's scary how much medicine can cost in singapore, especially private med .... a PET scan at mount e costs 4k .... and a single round of chemotherapy costs 12k ...... a cycle of radiation therapy costs 50k .... -___-"
if the cancer doesn't kill you, the bills will !
I quote from the night owls ...
yeah, hospital bills are really expensive. Don't talk about mount e .. just talking about govt hospital like SGH.. just a very short stay in a B1/2 ward for few days and the bill comes up to thousands of dollars ...
Insurance is really important. Since we're all still young and generally free from health problems, we should buy more H&S insurance .. to cover ourselves when we get older..

It's morning again...

However, I didn't manage to slp early -_________-

Yeah.... one of the first things I got for myself as soon as I graduated was health insurance....
Right now I've got AIA's Pink of Health insurance, and Aviva's SAF Insurance.
The SAF insurance is more like a 'worst case scenario' insurance scheme.... it won't cover hospitalization costs, but if I lose a limb or become quadriplegic, the payouts are good....

food for thought: linda mccartney was vegetarian for most of her life and still died of cancer at age 56.
so eat moderately and hope for the best is better than becoming a total health nazi.

This whole 'acidic blood caused by red meat' theory is pure hogwash..... blood needs to maintain its pH within a very narrow range in order for essential enzymes to work.
I once chewed up a friend of mine who tried to flog 'alkaline water' to me while she was brainwashed by an MLM....
If memory serves, my words to her were: 'If I drink this bottle of piss, and it actually works as you say, I'm gonna sue you and your company for giving me liver failure'.
She eventually wised up and left the MLM. Phew.

I was researching on this .....
they say a good indicator is how much chemo and dialysis coverage they'll give ....
I have a comprehensive non-saver life insurance and an income saver policy .... but I think that's definitely not enough ...... depending on medisave and medishield is not enough as well .....

perhaps.
just eat moderately, reducing consumption of processed food products, without going all anal or anti-social about it.
right now you should be far more worried about diabetes and hypertension

AIA has a cancer specific term insurance which costs less than $200 per year and also provides periodic cancer screening. I'm on that plan on top of my accident and hospitalisation plan.

me on the other hand gotta start gainning some weight with workouts... I wouldn't wan to be a bag-o-bones in my later part of life... >____>
I didn't actually went to jog last night but I went to climb up and down the stairs instead...
-
actually, I'm thinking of signing up for more saver plans for retirement .... you get the money, and the insurance coverage.
it's a nice idea to have a 50, 60k cheque coming in periodically from 55 onwards ......
I'm thinking CPF would not be quite enough, especially if you lay a house on top of it ....
-
Well, I've also got an AIA endowment policy.
That also provides some insurance coverage while acting as my retirement fund.

i have also upgraded my insurance for health a while ago. it's a cpf scheme cum payment in cash (for prenium). for my age, i paid $300 plus and I will be covered in bed (ward A), operation $ (if any), and many other miscellaneous...
buying MediaShield for parents is important lor. my dad a ex-civil servant used his CSC card, minus some from Medisave and the MediaShield I bought for him, covered the rest... so it is pretty worth it and that is from Gleneagles (2person ward) (not even SGH).

coughing my lungs out...
not sure if i should go out for a walk.. or should i just go back to sleep now that Day 5 is up...
Day 6 would be easy as we went out without my camera... and it was a nice slow day touring zora's Japan office and then the Osaka Castle

I sure would like to know what was the logic behind building a titanium-clad church.....
What were they trying to do? Protecting the church from a direct artillery strike?
