I was so happy when my Abah managed to cut down his tobacco intake from...
1 pack to last for 2 days
to
1 pack to last for 7 days!!
He oso managed to cut down his caffaine intake from medium size kettle (to last him for the whole day) to jus small size kettle that is equivalent to 2 Ikea mug per day. Told him, "Adik tahu rokok ngan kopi tu dah sebati, tapi cuba abah kurangkan skit. Janji dapat rasa, bah"
Being 65yrs old, a heavy smoker and a heavy coffee drinker since his younger daze... phuuhhh it took him sometime to really listen to me.
Thanx to my constant grumblings that really woke him up cos ever since my uncle was diagnosed with kidney failure (not one but both) last week, I was so worried about my dad. Sebab when we, the family commitee, knew about the HUGE EXPENSES we need to collect for the dialysis treatment, I was so worried about myself. Cos diagnosed with kidney failure is a NO JOKE. Orang panggil tis sickness as "Sakit Orang Kaya". And I don tink my savings, is sufficient to cover if my tis happened to my family members (Ya Allah, kau jauhkan lah segala kecelakaan ini, Ya Allah.....). and U know lah orang tua, tarak insurance coverage nyer. Bila disuruh amik, they will brush u off and say "Alah tak payah ler... kalau dah sakit, terus mati jer"
Hhhmmm... ni ler ragam orang tua kan?
So korang sumer, dah ader insurance ke lom? At least take tis particular insurance yang covers hospital bills. U can pay it thru ur medisave. I tink per annum is abt $200++.... kalau lom, ari ni jugak pi call ur agent k. Sebab i oso sayang you all tau!
Muacks!!!
Congratulation to ur abah!!...Akan ku suruh laki ku stop jugak as smoking is expensive sia..Anyway babe, which kinda insurance yg boleh pakai medisave eh aku tak penah dengar ler..can rekemen...Currently i m covering all my family under POSB which kalau ko mc ke hospitalisation ke mika akan bayar in cash hehee..

ReplyDeleteAku nyer Prudential ah nyah. Aku amik insurance only for the Pru-Save, Pru-Lady (utk cervic cancer, breast cancer and bla bla bla), ni bayar cash and Hospital nyer coverage, pakai medisave. Tu jer nyah.
