Survey findings on underemployment show S’pore’s ‘graduate poor’ earn less than $2,000 a month
It is a true reality in the Singapore labour market. There may not be sufficient jobs that remunerated well for your services. Employees become a commodity as we battle out to secure the job for a lesser attractive rate. Employers will be the winner until there is a high demand for the revelant skills.
In the near future, some of our children may even need to work overseas just like the Malaysian, Philippines, India and other foreign workers who came here for a job. The world economy is changing and we will have to adapt to these changes.

Stop Trial Medicine
My daddy has decided to stop the trial medicine just a few days before seeing the doctor again. He complains of pain within the body and still have persistence cough throughout the day and night.
The greatest battle of cancer is the pain the patient feel within their body. Pain killers are needed to help ease the patient pains. Sometimes we feel helpless on how we can help the patients.and doctor can only prescribe pain killers or drug to help them.
Health Update
Thanks for all that has visited my father. He is now still eating as normal but prefer cold stuffs. We have to ask him what he want to eat for three meal as he is now particular about food.
The trial medicine ABT 869 has been keeping my father condition under control. The downside is it affects your daily lifestyle as before. My father feels very tired and spent about 80% of the time sleeping.
Recently he has been coughing badly at night and he is taking the normal cough solution prescribed at polyclonic to control it.
High Protein
High protein has been detected and the clinical trial coordinator wanted my father to visit the NCC within the next 24 hours for further investigation. This may be the side effect of the intake of the trial medicine.
High protein will increased the risk of renal failure but may not be in this case.
Health Condition Status
My father looks older as the battle of cancer continues. He choose to eat instant noodles during dinner as he does not like the usual food taste.
Recently, some of his medication run out and I have to called the NCCS for supplies. You need to call the customer service and indicate the medicine you like to have. They will arrange the prescription so that the doctor can sign and you will be able to buy the medicine at subsidy rate. All medicine label with the 'POISON' must have a prescription letter sign by the doctor before you are allowed to purchase at pharmacy.
His gums pain has return after 3 weeks on the trial medicine. This has affected his appetite for food. His condition will be review by the doctor in 2 weeks time.
Onologist Appointment
My Dad went for his blood test in the early morning at 9am and today it was quited crowded at the Tan Tock Seng Hospital Clinic 2B. He got to see the consultant at 1030am but it was not the same doctor. But as a subsides patient we are not entitled to choose our consultant as we wish. The consultant was not able to give any update but was just to check whether he has any complaints after the last chemotherapy as a new drug was used.
My Dad has to wait for another hour for his blood test result so that they can inform him when he can attend the chemotherapy session. The medical staff want to find out what medicine he was taking as prescribe previously but my Dad was not able to describe to them. The staff inform him to bring it down this Thursday during his chemotherapy session. I have went home after the review with the consultant and left my Mum with my Dad to wait for the blood test result. I am really disturb that Tan Tock Seng Hospital has invested millions dollars on their IT platform and is using GE medical system software and is still not able to know what medicine their patients are taking.
Cravit Tablet
His cough is quite bad also but better as the consultant has been given him a new medication. This medication is a Cravit tablet which contains 500mg of Levofloxacin. Only patients with normal renal function can take dosage up to 500mg. It cost S$46.70 for 10 tablets.
My father has decided to opt not to remove fluids regardless the result of the CT scan till after Chinese New Year as the process will made him more tired. I would have to discuss this with the consultant next week after the release of his CT Scan result. He has been eating his normal portion at meals and we bought his favourite braised pork with pau yesterday.
