Smoking Cigars

I just read in the papers that a new floor price has been introduced on cigarettes. In my opinion, things like cigarettes should be made so expensive that the majority of the population will not be able to afford them and save their lungs and health. Unfortunately, that price range will not stop most people from smoking. Worst, the richer people will conveniently move on to cigars such as Drew Estate cigars which are said to be even worse for your health.

Company Health Insurance

My company recently introduced a low cost health insurance plan that they managed to negotiate with one of the leading insurance companies in the country. The package does sound attractive and I'm wondering whether I should consider committing in it especially with the impending move. Will give myself a bit more time to mull it over first before signing the dotted line.

Health Insurance

I recently attended a talk in my office on health savings account that was offered by an insurer at special rates and privileges for the staff. It sounded pretty good and was only applicable if a large number of staff sign up for it before mid-2010. I hope they do get the numbers they were looking for as I was interested in it and am seriously considering signing up for it.

Dirty Toilets

After going around the world a bit, I realise that the toilets here still have a long way to go. I was recently in Singapore and noticed that even their shopping mall toilets were beautifully designed with swanky bathroom lights, big clean sinks and most importantly dry floors! There were cleaners constantly cleaning and mopping and they were incredibly clean compared to some of the really disgusting toilets we get here. I still don't understand why our toilets have to be so wet and dirty, even in the swanky malls!

Own Luggage

Can you believe that for someone who loves travel as much as I do, I don't own a single piece of large luggage to travel with? Most times I end up borrowing from my family members! I recently passed a Samsonite shop last week in KL Sentral which had large advertisements for a sale on their Samsonite luggage of up to 70%. Perhaps I should consider buying a bag for my own personal use instead of borrowing all the time!

Cheap USA Accommodation

Previously I signed up for updates from this great site that offered alternative accommodation to hotels worldwide. Recently, I've been getting lots of offers in my mailbox for their Tempe apartments and New York apartments. Its great to see how cheap accommodation can be in America if you get the right sort of places but getting the visas and tickets is another matter altogether.

Walking Up And Down Orchard

I had a busy weekend in Singapore with lots of walking up and down Orchard Road. I wore my new FitFlop slippers which are said to help in toning your legs! I'm not sure if they toned mine but it was certainly lots of exercise and my feet and legs hurt like anything every night! With that sort of exercise, who needs the best fat burners?! All you need is a good shopping trip on Orchard Road! A win win for all!
