@zac-s-mum I studied “Lord of the Flies” when I was in O level and even today, I still compare what have happened in the current world with those characters and the plot in the story. If Zac is interested in current world political issues, he should be able to manage the main theme of the story.
@slmkhoo Congratulations! Your dd2 has started her new stage of life and having a partner to take care of her. Any plan to have a “Snake” grandchild?
@bbbay How can Semi - Retirement means more financial freedoms?? I only can have more financial freedom when I am on a full time job.
@lee_yl There was a Christmas market attack in Germany last week. Is it mean Germany is not safe? Influenza is on the rise across Japan now.
@slmkhoo Thank you all for your advice. I have been thinking this for a few weeks.
For TCM, they have their whole theory how to cure illness and western medication also have their system. The things is whether you trust which one?
Maybe you all have the luck to meet very nice family doctors, but for me, the experience with western doctors are terrible.
Nowadays, when I go to any clinic for consulation, the doctors are different every time as these clinic are operated by medical groups and the doctors are rotated between clinics. When I explained my condition to them, all of them, no even looked at me. They just typing what I said into their computer, use the pressure monitor to take my blood pressure reading or take my blood for screening. Then, don’t even say what I have to do besides asking me to take their medicine for life.
It seems that is their standard procedure in their medical groups. When I asked when they come to the same clinic next time so that they can follow up my case. They just say no need, my info is already in their server and any doctor will know what to do. How can this kind of doctors really taking care of my health beside asking me to buy their medicine forever.
However, for my TCM doctor, she is always talked to me and find out why I fell ill and have provide me very good advice.
Anyway, I am not saying western medication is wrong but only not suitable for me.
@bbbay No point to talk to western doctors, they only ask us to continue the medicine for the rest of our life. This medicine actually affect our liver function. Once your liver is damage, it cannot de-tox, many health problems will come out. 中医讲调养,西医讲吃药. Since I have already slim down 1.5 kg (actually I am not a fat or overweight person before) and I believe some “fat” in my blood vessel is already disappeared,
@zac-s-mum Thank you Zac’s mum and Slmkhoo, the problem is I don’t have time to cook at home and I an DH always have to ear outside. The food stall or restaurant will not waste the oil left over after deep fried food and will use this “re-used” oil to fry vegetable and meat. According to my TCM doctor, this kind of “re-used” oil is the main cause of LDL cholesterol and therefore I have to take soup or steam food in order to min intake of this cooking oil. Actually I still eat meat, egg and vege… but only change the way of cooking.
I am not really sad…last time, I tried all my best also could not loss more than 0.5 kg weight but now already loss 1.5 kg and no more skin and hives and rash problem.
@zac-s-mum Thank you Zac’s mum. I don’t why I always cannot get in this forum now after the upgrading. Very busy at work and no money for oversea travels. 
Finally went for a blood test in July and was told having a very high LDL cholesterol level. Taken the western medication for one month and the LDL cholesterol level fell to 2.55 (below the range 2.6 to 3.3) but having terrible muscle pain, so I refuse to continue the western medication. TCM doctor told me to adjust my diets and life style and stop taking any fried or deep fried food (Trans Fat food). Able to loss 1.5 kg weight already. Now only eat soup or steam food.
