Trouble trouble toils and bubble tea

As you can see from the title, life is pretty interesting. For me, no matter what happens in life, I always look at the positive side and feel better. My little nephew was just diagnosed with a cyst or something like dat in his brain.... It is impacting on a blood vessel or something like dat. You should see it feels liek s**t and sad when you hear of one so young having a problem.... and it is also no joke. But then having actually gone through the same problem before, I would say that in life, we will always face problems, be they big or small. But then the most important thing is that as a parent, we must always put a strong face in front of the children, we must not break down. I saw my mom and sis crying like as though the kid was dead or dying and I really worried if the kid would not be permanently scarred.... Hey kids do have pretty damn good memories and they will remember in future hor..... I still remember my parents in Tokyo tower when I was 5 and they were arguing about whether to enter or not. Mom wanted to go, but me and sis were there and we would be scared until our shit turned green..... So what did my parents with great iq's do? They turned us to the back and carried us in.......

Oi.......

Same problem from a different angle..... But back to the serious talk.... For me.... like I mentioned before, everything has a time and a place.... My wife went to the sensei to get treatment.... Everyone here freaked out.... Of course wifey was smart and I also told her a great number of times, no pressing of the body.... But to be truthful, if she did anything stupid and she lost the baby, so be it lor.... We try to make another one lor..... At least we can make babies mah....

Life is like that, it is full of hardship and also full of pain... it is just how to handle the hardship and pain.... For me, when I heard that I had a tumour,(in fact 2), I just asked the doctor what was the best course of action. Even the GP who sent me to the neurologist called me to give me comfort, but I was ok..... Tumour only mah..... as long as it does not grow bigger.... and two some more!!!... My ex girlfriend of that time asked if I was going to die some more.... choi choi choi!!!!

But it is true lah..... we are lucky to have found it out in the little kid and now we can make changes to his lifestyle to ensure that he is ok. It is far better that the little monster keeling over and dying den we find out right? Think positive lah...

Now comes the bitching part.... If the kid had something terminal and needed an operation, it would cost at least 20k...... how to find enough money and to pay for it? As a kid, you want to give him all the chances of living mah..... Not like my little Energizer rabit who keeps going on and on and on.... She keeps visiting the hospital every month, bragging that she will undergo this test and that test and it will cost so much..... uhhh... hello.... not being a bad son... but imagine spending over 300-400 a month on medical and tests.... What happens if there is really something wrong? She wants to go because she does not want to die.... But then the oxy-moron is that if she is found with something serious.... then how? At 70 plus, she will be going on to 80 and maybe even 90.... energizer mah.... ever-ready would have gone kaput by now. Would you do chemo on a 70yr old? He or she would be having such a shitting bad quality of life.... And would be feeling so bloody bad..... And treatment will probably allow you another 5-10 years.... Non treatment depending on disease will be 3-4years? Natural life is 8-10 yrs? So you see... sometimes the financials of things and also the point of treatment is very important. If she gets treatment and she responds and is happy, she is ok.... but she is not and her Alzheimers is getting worse.

Haizzzzzzz.... I really think I need a bubble tea liao.......
