Yesterday, I spoke to my insurance agent that I would like to cancel one of my two policies, the endowment one. I’ve been considering putting more into my hospitalisation and medical insurance policy for quite some time. So yesterday I got around to make it so. Things have happened during the past few years that made me realise how much hospital and medical cover is a lifesaver. Medical expenses, especially private hospital services are so expensive these days. Without insurance, you won’t even be entertained. And when surgeries are involved, brace yourself for five figure sums in hospital bills no less. So I’m pretty certain if there’s one insurance you can’t live without, it’s medical insurance.

But the antibiotics did cause some loose stools for the past few days.

If there’s one advise for those who are buying a new notebook PC and expect to use it for many years to come, don’t skimp when it comes to adding RAM. Add as much RAM as possible along with your purchase. If the limit is 4GB, get 4GB of memory for a start.
My faithful IBM R50e has 768MB of type DDR1 RAM which was phased out about a year or two ago. DDR2 is commonplace now and gives the best value for money. DDR1 on the other hand, if you can find them on the market now are many times more expensive than DDR2. I regret not upgrading the memory in my notebook earlier when DDR1 is still going strong and cheap.
