Had a great night last night watching Champions League with 2 of my best friends, Weiguo and Muquan. I had known these 2 guys ever since I was 5. I know this sounds remarkable but this is how far our friendship stretch back. Haven't really been keeping in touch with Muquan but is glad that he is still the same. Having him around is always great as he is such good at starting topics to talk about. It was like the old days. The three of us would have supper first follow by watching the match. We chatted till around 7 in the morning before going to sleep. I even packed up my room so that the 3 of us can squeeze into my room. :) It was just like in the old days. :) Though I doubt we can do this often as I will be starting my new job on Mon. More on that later. I also won a small sum of money courtesy of Chelsea and AC Milan. But sad to say all my winning were channeled back to Weiguo as I am still owe him somemoney. :( Nonetheless the debt is decreasing by the day. ;)
One of the topic we talked about was about the high costs of hospitalisation nowadays. Muquan's father was hospitalised for near to a year and as a result of that, his mum medisave is almost wiped out. Not to mention the amount of money they had spent on other stuff such as cab fares and other stuff. This makes me realize just how important insurance is. I am not trying to sell my services here but the one thing that I don't want to worry should any of my loved one fall ill is the problem of paying the bills. I had a similar experience with my GrandPa who was hospitalised for near to 2 months before leaving me. We were lucky that we were still staying at a 1 room flat at that time. The bill was eventually settled by the Ministry of Social Affairs. Someone once told me that only 2 type of people will buy insurance. It is either they love their loved ones a lot or they are selfish. They won't want their loved ones to foot the bill for them and as for the selfish one, they are afraid that no one will pay the bill for them or there will be no money left for them should they eventually survive the ordeal. I hope that whoever is reading this just get a simple hospitalisation plan. It cost less than $10 a month( I bet we spent more than that in a night of clubbing) and will at least let you sleep at ease knowing that you are covered. Of course you can give me a buzz should you want to know more. ;P
Now on the topic of my new job. I never actually told this to friends yet but it seems that a lot of them already know about it. I will be starting work on Mon at Tanjong Pagar( Just next to my old office so you can still call me on matters of insurance ;) ). It is a 5 days work week( so you know who to call for partying on a fri night ;) ) and I will be working as a Sales Executive. I will be mainly trying to get new customers for CalendarOne ( www.calendarone.com ). The basic pay is nothing to crow about but the comission is quite attractive. I will treat you once I get my pay Pig Head. I still remember my promise to you. ;) I really hope that I can excel in my new work. Kinda in need of a more consistent paycheck. ;)
You can take a picture of something you see. In the future where will I be?
