Hello readers, I am back!
I doubt anyone will visit this blog anymore, as it has been inactive for half a year. I do think knowing someone out there is reading does drive me to write more and share more of my experiences and views on things. I noticed I barely write ever since I privatized my blog and I spent more time gaming to a point I felt like I am actually addicted to playing gunboundM.
It is going to be my one year anniversary joining the amazing game clan and somehow I feel really comforted to have met amazing players and a few of them even gives me useful life hacks that are beyond the game. I made a few friends there and one of my goal to actually go visit their country someday and meet them in person and play the game in real life! That would be exciting! Even so given my introverted personality in real life, I guess keeping things just within the virtual world might be a better option. I find it pretty scary to actually face real people and probably the interaction wouldn't be as carefree and fun as it is online.
Despite being in the group for a year, most of us kept our private lives to ourselves and the conversations there are either funny, informative or sometimes just lots of shit posts to get al of us through the day. I recently cancelled my health insurance policy after someone brought this topic up and I think it is the best decision that I have made for this year. I know not having health insurance means I could not afford going to private health care facilities nor do I have the financial capacity to face certain illness that could be financially draining. However what I am clear is that I would not want to seek health care services if I fall ill because I have a lot of distrust with western medicine and also the current generation of health care personnel. To make it simple, I will just avoid the hospital entirely and do whatever I can to keep myself as healthy as possible. Ugh, sleeping this late isn't healthy - I should avoid late hours!
The main reason I do not want to pay for health insurance was because after paying for 2 years about 380/month, I received a letter that my premium will be 409/month from July onwards and in 2027 it will be 459/month. I was thinking if they keep this momentum of increment, I will have increased monthly commitments which I did not plan for and am not ready for. It was quite a heartache cancelling the policy because I lost quite a lot of money by surrendering the policy. I would have had better gaming experience if I had used that amount of money for purchasing avatars or mobiles. Sigh, I guess this is also the second financial hit for me. The first hit was not having private cases to do unlike back in university where I help my lecturers run private cases and get a fraction of the pay. Those were good days and since I really Love my work, I didn't know just by helping out it generated an additional 10k of income.
I am figuring out how else can I make money this year. I only have half a year left and so far 2025 is quite boring with no awards or additional income. Some of the self satisfying moments still revolved around my career but those moments are just transient. I am pleased with myself for successful inserting a central venous cannula in a 2.7Kg neonate. After that, inserting it in anyone beyond 10Kg no longer feels like an achievement. I really need to have goals and rewards in life or else I would doubt my existence.
The upcoming challenge is to finish off the current powerpoint that I am doing, submitting it within tomorrow and to give a good presentation this Saturday！I just missed out on 3 chance world boss!
