Debt Free

Yeahhhhhhhhhh ....... HDB debt free.
18 Feb 2014, a check was passed to HDB Bt Batok branch to clear my outstanding HDB loan (lump sum payment. Flat bought in 1995.)
1 of the biggest pay-out checks in my life ! 


Heart Attack

Yet another surpise in my life. 6 Oct 2013 Sun evening while in the queue for my dinner, I felt nausea, giddy, wobble & sort of black-out (no chest pain though). most obvious was cold sweating while waiting for ambulance tat day in coffee shop. Doctor said it was a mild heart attack & a blood vessel to my heart was badly blocked so a ballon (stent) was inserted on 8 Oct. Hospitalised from 6 - 12 Oct 2013.

a date I shall remember for a long long time. the biggest surprise in my life so far n im so frightened. woke up not feeling well (light headed, nausea, left arm/leg numb n clumpsy) that morning. so went to Bt Batok Polyclinic, there they immediately rushed me to A & E Dept of NUH. on tat same day finally warded to bed 12 ward 64. 1st time in my life went through a string of scans for the next few days .... CT scan, X-ray n MRI besides lots of blood sample taking. at last discharged on 3 July 2012 afternoon n bought tis stick below on the advice of nurse b4 going home (lucky, only use it for 1 day, as I able to cycle on tat very same day after reaching home).
