Get set, ready and GO!

One of my clients was quite funny. He actually put on his timer and see how long his consult was with this practitioner.

Time taken for the consult was 1.5mins
Waiting time to be seen: 2 hours

He went like this:" WAH liew eh, my condition can be viewed in such a short timing lor."

I'm still tired from all the fun and activities I had since the last weekend.

Inflation nightmare?

With the uprising inflation costs, it is no surprise that most citizens certainly feel the pinch on their pockets. Sadly, I would say the most affected group of people belongs to the low income families.
And Kirsten ,who will be getting married in a few years time, has paid a downpayment on a HDB flat together with her partner. In fact,she was pretty conscious on how she spent her money since both have made plans on the wedding.

Trust me, every cent do count for this lady.
For instance, there was once she refused to get her sandwich toasted at Subway as she thought it may cost her extra 20cents to do so.

From my experience, I've been to a cafe where they charge 50cents for a glass of water. Nope, it's not from bottled water . Hidden costs can be just everywhere. Another of my gf, Judy was rather funny. She said that the only place she has asked for 'extras' without being charged is Burger King! Apparently, if you ask for a 'stack 'of lettuce on your burger, they don't cost you extra.
Then again, I'm not really sure how true with such statement can be.

I had my first lesson of calligraphy class last Friday!

Dealing with difficult parents

My girlfriend ( bish! -you know who you are) thinks that asian parents are the worst kind which you ever can have. Perhaps, it's the culture or family values which has been passed down from generations to the modern living world that doesn't seem to be so applicable anymore.

I'm not here to 'disgrace' my parents. In fact, I've learnt to take note of dos and don'ts or mistakes which my parents have made along the way. And hopefully, I don't see myself repeating the stuffs on my children in near future.

Ever since I've moved back home, I find my parents tend to get a lot more agitated over small stuffs. Both of them seems to be less controlled with their temper and more demanding. I do worry for their health. Then again, who I am to be their health 'controller'. The funny thing is they will prefer take on the advice from a 3rd party than listening to me on what I have to say.
I was really annoyed when someone told my dad to eat some natural herbs so he can have regular bowels. Not surprisingly, he took on the advice faithfully without missing a single dose.

My coping strategy is to either walk away or totally ignore them if they start to get loud on me. Sometimes, I do reflect on why they are saying such things or they don't realise that their brains have snapped....

I guess I can never understand till I become a parent myself.
