Cutting down on meat will help to loosen the health problem a bit. Best is go vegan. |

Tips in life:
Change our focus in life from ‘what we want to avoid’ to ‘what we want to achieve’.
Increase your level of appreciation & analytical powers of observation
Never give up on replacing everything bad with good.
Don’t easily succumb to mood changes
Use the index of ‘good feelings’ as an indicator to whether we are on the right course.
Keep on climbing the tree of excellence but never forget its roots.
Ask + Believe + Work = Receive
Do not procrastinate
List down our gratitude so that the undesirable becomes small.
Practice visualization frequently.
Empower our inner strength so that it integrates with the strengths around us.
There are enough good things in the world for everyone.
What we emit can be contagious to those around us.
Keep on trying! Efforts > outcome.

yes, ak do hv a meter at home, Omron IA1 model. this is the 3rd model I use since Jul 2001, when SAF diagnosed me got HBP at 135 and subsequently referred to NUH specialist for follow-up. No fault found at my body after a series of check, fr toes to eyes, less brain. verdict was inherited sickness???
since then taking 2 types of HBP tablets, total 18mg daily to keep the blood pressure below 130. at nite, it can falls below 100.
blood/urine test and consult specialist twice per yr, sometime 3 times, depending the doc.
since, early this yr I hv stopped taking the reading daily liao as specialist claimed that my BP is under controlled. but will do surprise check once a while, esp STI topples, he he.
AK
Do you monitor your BP at home?
Have you tried checking at different times of the day (eg in front/away from trading platform
)?
Seriously, I heard that "celery" juice can lower BP (you rather I say "beer" right?).
ha ha agreed, smart and efficient are inversely proportional to high blood pressure.
AK don't hv both but also kena high blood pressure. heng, till now still survive but hv to countdown liao.
Does that mean we have become TOO smart & efficient for our own good?
Psychotherapist Anthony Yeo :
Singaporeans now spend about 12 hours a day at work and
travelling to and from the office. That has led to a jump in the number
of people looking for help with stress-related problems, he said.
'With laptops and BlackBerrys, there is no longer a clear
boundary between personal life and work. Many professionals now need to
be in two places at one time,' he added.

One only 'owns' a car for 10 yrs and a flat for 99 yrs. Asset ownership is a fairytale unless one has enough $$$ to buy freehold housing.

In 30 years, women may even give birth at 100

LONDON - WOMEN aged 100 will be able to give birth in 30 years' time as
infertility could be eradicated, scientists have predicted.
Experts say advances in germ cell technology, in which skin cells
are used to create sperm and eggs and then combined to make human
embryos, will soon allow women to start a family at any time in their
lives, British press reported yesterday.
The technology is still to be developed, but biologists
believe that treatments using cells from skin called induced
pluripotent stem cells (iPS) could replace in-vitro fertilisation
(IVF).
Parents would also be able to choose a so-called 'designer'
baby, selecting their perfect child based on characteristics such as
hair colour, height, intelligence and disease-free genes, the Telegraph
reported.
The
forecast, reported in the Nature journal, were made by leading
scientists who were asked to anticipate advances in reproduction by
2038 to mark the 30th birthday of Louise Brown, the world's first test-
tube baby.
Dr Davor Solter, a biologist at the Institute of Medical
Biology in Singapore, said: 'The goals will remain the same in that
we'll be trying to give children to those who can't have them and
remove children from those who don't want them. I think IVF has gone
about as far as it can.
'Next, I expect that germ cells, sperm and eggs will be
successfully derived from induced pluripotent stem cells - cells that
have the potential to develop into any of the body's cell types.'
He added: 'It means every person regardless of age will be
able to have children. Newborn children could have children and
100-year-olds could have children. It could easily happen in the next
30 years.'
Other steps forward that are envisaged in the next 30 years
include gestation taking place in an artificial womb, low-cost IVF
treatment being made available at £50 (S$135) a cycle and,
more controversially, the creation of embryos for experiments.
Writing in Nature, Mr Zev Rosenwaks, director of the Centre
for Reproductive Medicine and Infertility in New York, said: 'I see the
technology going towards possible eradication of infertility
altogether.
'With nuclear-transfer technology or cell modification, I think we'll be able to generate sperm and eggs for anybody.'
But IVF pioneer Alan Trounson, who leads the California
Institute for Regenerative Medicine in San Francisco, said that germ
cell technology would raise debate about safety and the ethics of
extending a woman's fertile period beyond what nature intended, the
Daily Mail reported.
He said: 'I think this will happen, and it raises a lot of
ethical issues about safety and the children. There will be concerns
raised over whether the fertile period should be extended beyond its
natural point. I think people should be given the choice.'
Netmums director Sally Russell, who founded the online support
group for mothers, said: 'I think it is a very weird notion of a woman
becoming a mother at the age of 100.
'I would question who would want to have a child at that age. |

Thanks so much for remembering and bothering to re-post.
Wow, the cost does sound like a really good bargain esp with good environ & services provided.
The sensei point is definitely a competitive advantage. They probably have a waitlist or something (not that I am in need of one at this pt).
Come to think of it, foreigners may have problem getting medical care there unless pte insur also covered.
Thanks again; good to know.
