and so the primary aim is there.

Flu Shot = $20
Typhoid Shot = $17

Combined Hep A & B Screening = $35

Combined Hep A & B vaccination shots = $75 EACH.
(1 dose now, 2 more doses at 1 mth, and 5 mths later)

Subtotal of medical expediture so far (ignoring 2nd and 3rd Hep shots) = $147

After a hefty amt of "investment" in these kiasu medical precautions, the only way I can justify them is when one of my travel mates get sick and I get to laugh at them.

WaRpEd thinks that my doctor is just being plain guai lan for suggesting typhoid

cherub: exactly, so let's keep quiet till the trip is over.
warped: i still think your doctor is guai-lan.

my friends were stunned that I actually bothered to take medical precautions.
cherub leh, the "come-what-may" guy.


many think that I am getting extremely paranoid due to the nature of my job.
I can't agree more.

I've actually prepared all my life insurance, travel insurance, paper documents of all my savings accounts, deposits and other investments neatly in a large folder.
to repay my parents, if something happens along the way.

i'm becoming such a wuss.
