New comers, be ready for them

Hey guys, it’s been sometimes since I posted last. I just needed time away from writing, too much writing for my assignments I got sick of it. I’ve finally gotten over my assignment, although the bad news is I’ve got a new assignment now to work on >.<

Before I go on, the futsal tourney didn’t go too well. Yet again we only made it up to the quarter finals, we lost out yet again to the eventual winners and we actually played better than the other finalist. There were some disappointment in the team, some of the members didn’t perform as much as I would have liked. I’m just happy I played well enough for people in the tournament to recognize me. I did get a few injuries that are taking some time to heal but all in all it was a good experience.

Now for today’s topic, I’ve got a new nephew. He was born on the 2nd November 2008. The baby is yet to be named and is having some medical problems which is making a lot of relatives unhappy. To begin with the baby was scheduled to be born on the 15th November 2008 but it seemed like he wanted to see all of us earlier haha. On the first day everything was fine and everyone was happy, but then something changed. On the second day the baby was having difficulties breathing and was rushed to a baby specialist hospital. Later on we found out that the baby had air in the lungs that was preventing it from efficiently working. The doctor says there might be a birth defect on the baby which wouldn’t surprise me because his parents are first cousins.

Why was a baby that young suffering? The baby is innocent and hasn’t even known how the world looked and yet has already started feeling the pain of life. This isn’t fair at all, but Ii would blame my family, there have been so many proven studies that in family marriages can cause defects on children and yet they still go on with it. It’s just sad that an innocent baby has to suffer from this, guess what life sucks like that >.<>

Another thing that caught my attention was the fact that we have to save up as preparations to welcome the newcomer. I always thought giving birth to a baby isn’t really a problem to the pocket but this birth my cousin is having is proving to be a costly one. 24 hours intensive care unit fees for the baby is at a staggering RM3000 and we’re not even sure how long the baby will be in ICU. Imagine if he was in there for a week that’s like RM 20,000 at least. What would happen if the parents can’t afford it? Its crazy how much they charge, but with good care comes high bills. This is definitely a lesson for me to learn. When I know my wife is expecting, I would have 9 months to amass funds for any eventualities, hopefully that would be sufficient added to the saving before.

I guess that’s it for now, there will be more post on here for sure but I got no idea when. See you guys when I see you guys, till then....peace out ^_^
