Happily Ever Retired

Happily ever retired is definitely our plan.  Even though we are not anywhere near retiring age, one must definitely plan and plot for the future, since the cost of living and medical/medication fees are on the rise on a yearly basis.

A 12% return on every dollar invested is what you are looking at if you join  retirement income investing. It is hassle free, no stress, a low margin of risk, unlike investing in stocks, you don’t need to have to watch the stock market.. and go sleepless when there is movement in the exchange.  But what i loved to hear most were the testimonies from other people that Diamond Bay is a great way to invest.

Blood Test

I know..!! i know..!! yer gonna say.. “what AGAIN..?? “  yup..! but this time.. it’s like a routine check to make sure that my haemoglobin is at the right count and all.  So i went in this morning to the hospital.. and i didn’t have to wait long.  Now the art of not having to wait too long is the timing and also the days you planned to go in.  I usually go right at the end of the day for them.. which is at 11.30am… but of course .. i wouldn’t go in at 11.25am lah… i go in at about 11am .. or 11.05am.. at the latest. Or go really early in the morning at 7am.. when they start.

Having said all the above.. i’ve yet to praised the ladies at the blood collection services.. the nurses there were wonderful, wonderful people.  They really took care not to leave bruises.. and we chatted like old friends.. and you see .. this is a gift.. because if this was my first time having my blood test.. or if i was a kid, now i would have to say .. this gift would definitely be much appreciated by parents.. and any patient/s.

I’ve had many good experiences with this hospital.. and their staff.. and of course I’ve had bad ones .. as well.  If you read my journal.. you will see i had problems with the ultra sound department some 5 yrs ago, when i was pregnant with Missy Moo . .. but that’s for another day.. and another story.  And my most unforgettable bad experienced was the 2nd day of my hysterectomy .. in the hospital.. whereby the nurses wouldn’t give me a hand to get up.. even though i had drips.. and IVs sticking all over my hands.  JOY..!!  i had to call Mr Moo to the hospital at 1am.   Unbelieveable.. eh..??  nevermind.. i’ll talk more about it .. another time.  So yes.. now i wait for the results.
