welfare for americans

freaking LS almost make me lose another 3kg or so, judging by the amt of fluids that goes out of my body. heh. but anyway. im more or less cured, recovered from the terrible ordeal.

my 10 or times visit to the toilets (visited more than 5 different toilets throughout UW) makes me consider going to the doc, which i did in the end. to their health hall center, equiv to nus YIH. so, being the typical sgrean, i tot the consultation, medication would prob cause abt SGD20 or even waived from the insurance plan we bought.

but..

UW insurance plan is only effective 26sept onwards, so means dat u cant get sick before that or.. you got to visit the doc and pay from your own pocket. the ger at the counter told me that the subsidized cost for doc consultation would be from USD79-250. Subsidized~!! i start to appreciate nus system more. heh.

nah.. enuff of bitching abt currency difference here. health, insurance, dental care is realli expensive here. for those who's coming over, esp cherlyn next sem, do get a gd comprehensive local (sg) insurance plan dat covers ur travel, sickness & accidents prior to ur term starts over in US. the only things cheap here are JEANS. Boutique polo ralph lauren jeans cost USD30.. plus another 8.8% tax.. dats still abt SGD50.. real gd deal! heh..
