Exporting Grandma to JB ?

My friend's family is thinking of sending her grandma to a nursing home in JB! She told me & said it made her feel terrible. But circumstances as such they have no choice as they couldn't afford the ones here & there's very little "beds". This problem might seem too far for most of us, but ..... we'll grow older one day. And someone might just export us to JB when our time comes! Can you imagine that?

So what can be done?

1. First, the cost must be reduce. How to do that? One way would be subsidies by government. We can even encourage people to donate regularly.

2. Another way to encourage people to take care of their elderly is to give substantial tax relief.

3. Getting staff is difficult, we can hire foreign maids, to work along side with the nurses in these homes.

4. If all else fails, resort to making everyone feel guilty by highlighting the fact that " you get what you sow" .... meaning treat your parents bad & you will receive the same if not worse treatment eventually. ....lol... that should work :) 

Well I hope when my time comes, we have evolve to having those nice nursing home you see in those American movies ....lol... then I'll check myself in :-))

A world without Handphone ? Not possible !

Someone borrowed my car & I decided not to hitch a ride from my dad but take the mrt instead. I've not taken the mrt since I've got the car.

Very interesting. Just within the section I was in, I would say at least 80% of the people are either on their hp, messaging ,playing games, even watching Korean series (the girl beside me was:) ) I wonder how did it all get started?

I remember when I first travel to Japan & HKG, I was amused by how the people always seems to be reading something on their trains. The handphone has certainly changed our habits huh? The mind is constantly challenged into doing something. No time to rest & reflect. Still I cant imagine a world without the handphone now.
Oops time to sms my friend to confirm our lunch date later ...lol...
