of hand-foot-mouth disease

It has been confirmed. Lancerlad has contracted Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease. This is his second time that he has contracted it.

We noticed an ulcer on his lip on Tuesday but thought that it was because he had bitten his mouth the day before. Then yesterday morning, rashes appeared on his arms and legs. The doctor confirmed that it was HFMD. The school called and confirmed cases of HFMD among the kids. Now Lancerlad will have to stay home and Lancerlady will be taking care of him.

The first time Lancerlad got HFMD was when he was about 18 months old. It was a difficult experience for Lancerlady and me. During that time, Lancerlad couldn't sleep, couldn't eat and he kept crying. His cries were so loud that it could be heard by neighbours during the night and wee mornings. It made us embarassed and guilty of disturbing our neighbours that we brought him out for car rides whenever he couldn't stop crying. I remembered we drove out at 3am in the morning. Drove till he slept.

Lancerlad just asked for some cheese. Pity him, must be hungry. Lancerlady said that he has not eaten much the whole day. We just saw about 3 to 4 ulcers in his mouth. One moment he was laughing, the next moment he'll cry out loud. This few days, we'll let him be king of the house and give him what he wants. Have to entertain his request of "I want jelly" and give him anything that's cold including his milk.

We are a bit concerned that it'll spread to Lancerkid. He's just 10 months and he's definitely more difficult to handle compared to Lancerlad. Because Lancerkid is the loud and hyper-active version of Lancerlad! I think he'll cry and the whole of "Ang Sua" will hear. Pray pray Lancerkid will not get it.

Sigh...more sleepless nights ahead. Orh Bak Kak!

of good service medal

In the army, medals are given to personnels for good conduct or exemplary service. One such medal is the SAF Good Service Medal.

At the Mindef website, the caption for this medal says
"This medal may be awarded to a serving member of the SAF in recognition of 5 years of good, efficient and faithful service in the SAF."

How to check the value of medals given to National Service personnel? Take a look at this eBay auction.

For NSmen out there, this medal is stamp-chop-confirm will get one. So cannot blame the person (if you are the recipient of the medal) who put this medal up for auction.

At least I still have mine. It's somewhere in the house. But I don't know where I dumped it.

Do you know where you kept your medal?

of climb up the ladder


I get all the crap!

What does this picture show?

Unfortunately in my company, I fall in the bottom category. After being hit by crysis, everything and everywhere has to cut cost. Fortunately my company has new projects flowing in. But due to those cost-cutting measures and little $$, my company has stopped hiring new staff. That means staff has different projects under his belt. This resulted in "overworked" situation. The amount of work each of us has is beyond our limits.

Yesterday, the Straits Times ran a report that showed the 10 best companies in Singapore to work for. The benefits are really good. But I wonder if their staff are taxed with too much work.

My company has tons of benefits that are equally good. Flex-hours, flexi points, insurance coverage, so on and so forth. But behind the scenes, the company is squeezing every cent that they pay us. So much so that we are working our bum-bums off.

But then fortunately, I still have a job. :)

Do you get all the crap at work?

Eddie G tells us how Malaysians and Singaporeans do have quite a bit in common.

"It's not as if you hadn't noticed, but Malaysians and Singaporeans do have quite a bit in common. However, if you do pay attention, you might notice some distinguishing traits that might spell the difference between a true blue Malaysian and a die-hard Singaporean. These are guidelines. No one has to follow them, but generally they do.

of ir and aiyah

Aiyah, so it's a FACTS now. We are getting 2 casinos Integrated Resorts that occupies the an area as big as the Singapore Zoo and Jurong Bird Park combined. (Referring the IR to places that holds animals?)

Aiyah, Instigated Integrated Resorts could be a good idea after all.

Lancerlady mentioned that she wants to switch jobs to work at the casino IR. She can get a job at the Casino Regulatory Authority. There's even going to be a National Council on Gambling and the Casino Investigation Branch. She thinks she can get to travel to countries like Las Vegas on study tours.

2 days ago, she asked me whether I supported or objected to the casino (yup, that's was what everyone was calling then) thingy. Aiyah, I said I wasn't sure. I am supportive of the job creation and boost in GDP aspect of having casino IR. But not sure on other control aspects.

So what now? Aiyah, we can only sit back and see how things work out. See how those Gambling Controls fall into place.

Aiyah, if the controls don't work out and casinos have to be removed, then will we can disintegrated resorts or loosely-coupled resorts?

Aiyah, hope we won't be getting a Families Against the Integrated ResortS Threat in Singapore petition.

Aiyah!

of blogs private limited?

Kelvin Koo blogs on the CZ issue. He has an interesting post that asks whether blogs should be made private.

"Should a blog be private?
CAN a blog be private?

I think what people need to realise is, blogs can never be private.
It goes against the very concept of a blog and the underlying technology that makes blog such a powerful tool of communication in today’s society.

The internet is not a private medium. If you wish to say anything that is not suitable for public consumption, hold that tongue.
After all, the bible tells us that our tongue can be a venomous snake (paraphased) and that we should rein it in."



The internet is a world wide spider web. Once you blog, you are pouring your feelings, your emotions, your thoughts, your life story for others to read. You'll be read but not be seen.

To make a blog private? I think some blogs(LiveJournal, I think) can make certain posts password-protected right? Yet again, like what Kelvin said, password protection may not be always fool-proof.

of 55,000 at risk but no problem

In the Straits Times today regarding the topic of having ca-Sin-No here in Singapore, it says that "Gambling addicts: 55,000 at risk".

But on the other hand, in today's Today frontpage news states "What gambling problem?"

So is having a ca-Sin-No here a problem or not? One paper says at risk, the other says what problem.

My colleague just told me that his brother goes to Macau for his "gambling" trips once every month. Now with the ca-Sin-No within driving distance, his brother could save the hassle of planning for his trips abroad and also save extra money spent on accomodation. So with the ca-Sin-No here, it'll be a cheaper alternative.

But what other implications will there be? More frequent trips to the ca-Sin-No?

Check out caSinNocity for updates on this issue. Thanks to Alex Huang

Project FemDefence: an idea for a rape-protection device

"The project includes the creation of an imaginary product, which bears the project’s name. The 'product' is a kind of protection against rape, somewhat similar to a tampon in that it’s user carries it inserted into her v@gin@. The basic idea is that the woman carries the protective device in her v@gin@. In it there is a sharp pin which has a penetrating effect on the perpetrator’s pen--->is in the event of a rape. The construction is such that the pin still cannot injure the bearer. The design of the design is based on a similar construction invented by a Swedish woman named Anita Ingmarsdotter."
