Sicko by Micheal Moore (2007)

Recommendation: A must watch, haha..videos i put here, definitely appeal to me, but i rather put documentary which has facts and lessons which can be applicable in our present and future live. Watching documentary, reading biography, listening to others' views, will expand one's mind, absorbing different perspectives and gain experience within that short time w/o having to physically experience it and using more time to learn that mistake or experience.

Description: A documentary comparing the highly profitable American health care industry to other nations, and HMO horror stories.

Below plot sypnosis is from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386032/synopsis

Moore interviews Americans who have been denied treatment by our health care insurance companies -- companies who sacrifice essential health services in order to maximize profits. The consequences for the individual subscribers range from bankruptcy to the unnecessary deaths of loved ones.

Moore then looks at universal free health care systems in Canada, France, Britain, and Cuba, debunking all the fears (lower quality of care, poorer compensation for doctors, big-government bureaucracy) that have been used to dissuade Americans from establishing such a system here. The roots of those health care systems are explored, and our failure to establish free health here care is traced to a) President Richard Nixon's deceptive support of the then-emerging HMOs pursuing huge profits and b) subsequent pressures for Congress to sacrifice sound health care in favor of corporate profit.

A group of Americans who became ill from volunteering at 911 Ground Zero, but were refused health coverage for their illnesses, are ferried by Moore to Cuba, where they receive the top-rate, free care one would hope they'd get here at home.

In his interviews, historical reportage, and typical sarcastic wit, Moore soundly condemns American health insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies, as well as the politicians who have been paid millions to do their bidding. He makes the case that there is something wrong with Americans that we cannot learn from the successes of other countries in providing better quality-of-health than we enjoy in the USA.

My views: This video increase my awareness on impact of different government health systems, the society system and how it can drastically change the way people behave. It leads me to ponder whether my country system is it similar to America, does our insurance company runs this manner, do our people suffer in silence? Questions are raised upon viewing this documentary. I will have to do my research, if it does, i have to make plans...

Yup Curry Png is right

A friend once ask me "Kiong Wat Is Ur Purpose In Life?"
My reply to him is "I want to life live to the fullest and create an impact in the lives of my friends....Coz someday when im gone B4 anyone of them ...the memories of me will remain in their heart.

Have you ever noticed that the worst way to miss someone is when they are right beside you, and yet you can never understand them.
When the moment you can't feel them under your fingertips you start to miss them

i know u r at a better place, we will meet again, dear friend.

Toughest interview yet to come?

Went to a agency for a call centre job, turn up to be recruiting for a local bank. The location is at bedok, with shifts till as late as 2.30am. At the agency, i was explained the working hours, the pay system, the work...then came the test, a 2hr written test.

If selected, i need to go do a 3 round interview within a day. There will be a typical interview,a field testing such as doing a real customer service to a client, typing the responses in the pc as well as communicating with the client.

Sounds easy? haha..im not sure, but doing 3 rds of interview in a day already sounds tedious to me. Wasnt even sure i can make it to the interview table based on my past experience but im glad given the opportunity by the agent :) Have a feeling this sense of optimism will last me a few days then im back to reality when theres no response.

Another problem if i get hired, i didnt tell my agent abt my RT. Haha..im so deceiving. Looks like i REALLY hav to pass my ippt or else i cant commit to this shifts. Again, wats the odds for me to pass, and the odds for me to get hired. This is a double probability with prob (a) x prob (b) = total prob. Is it independent event, mayb shld be prob (a) + prob (b). Y didn't i tell this to the agent, simply i wont risk killing my chances. i have to pass...regardless i got it or not. Can i..

4 in the morning by gwen stefani

Waking up to find another day
The moon got lost again last night
But now the sun has finally had its say
I guess I feel alright

But it hurts when I think
When I let it sink in
It's all over me
I'm lying here in the dark
I'm watching you sleep, it hurts a lot
& all I know is
You've got to give me everything
Nothing less cause
You know I give you all of me

[CHORUS]
I give you everything that I am
I'm handin' over everything that I've got
Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don't ever wanna have to go & give you up
Stay up till Four In The Morning & the tears are pouring
& I want to make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time?
Baby if we're gonna do it, come on do it right

All I wanted was to know I'm safe
Don't want to lose the love I've found
Remember when you said that you would change
Don't let me down
It's not fair how you are
I can't be complete, can you give me more?
& all I know is
You got to give me everything
& nothing less cause

[4 In The Morning lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

You know I give you all of me

[CHORUS]
I give you everything that I am
I'm handin' over everything that I've got
Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don't ever wanna have to go & give you up
Stay up till Four In The Morning & the tears are pouring
& I want to make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time?
Baby if we're gonna do it, come on do it right

Oh please, you know what I need
Save all your love up for me
We can't escape the love
Give me everything that you have

& all I know is
You got to give me everything
& nothing less cause
You know I give you all of me

[CHORUS]
I give you everything that I am
I'm handin' over everything that I've got
Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don't ever wanna have to go & give you up
Stay up till Four In The Morning & the tears are pouring
& I want to make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time?
Baby if we're gonna do it, come on do it right

(Give you everything)
(Give you all of me)

Severe self inferiority?

Tink i have this mental disease, disorder. Cant help asking y cant i be as gd as others, y cant i tis, cant i that, cant accomplish this, cant get that.

Y do i strive on being the best? Do i enjoy gaining the praises from ppl who benefitted from my success (what success is there to speak of)? Or is it jus plain self egoism? Will friends, luv ones stick by u if they find some1 better than u in all ways despite what u have done for them? this will be my ans: Relationships, exchanges, arent suppose to be measure by how much time u spend, how much things u do for them, and isnt measure by how much u reciprocate. Its about being there for them when they need yr support the most. This is hard to come by, cos not every1 will be there for u. Most likely they have their own problem, better priorities in life other than being with u. Once the usefullness is gone, ur just a memory, a number in the phonebook, a msn in the chat list, an email in the address, a pixel in a networking database, but not a real place in the heart.

People meet along in the life journey, r they making use of each other to climb further, to purse goals in their self interest, or its simply a accepted norm in our society? People will always crowd ard ppl who succeed in their own way, be it being able to work in a successful company, be it earning big bucks, being one who is beautiful physically as well as intelligent..this explains the existence for underdogs.

Self inferiority...in a optimistic way, it can be term as being humble is it? haha...y not flung it when u have it. Life is short, y grumble so much. Cherish what u have now...this is what kk will say to me perhaps.

Job db fair to go or not?

Unlike the previous job fair which has more education agencies, job db sg fair has a online database abt the participants, the job details such the requirements needed for these positions. It is good cos u can know what jobs r there n go straight to the booth if interested for further enquires or u can simply send online.

After scanning the positions available and the qualifications, think its the same regardless whether is it a job fair or a career talk or an interview...u r still the same, no change in yr capability, yr degree qualifications, nothing has changed..so whats yr chances? Haha...mark the black spots in the toto ticket and send in, try yr luck against the odds?

Going there seems to be a waste of time n money. Its the same. Dont tell me u go there, be there physically, they will feel yr sincere in apply for the work. Again, u got time, so? Can go there to make yr time seem productive because ur there near the company booth, but ur near there doesnt meant ur one of them in the future.
