Its has been a very long while since I last posted here... sigh.... while wanted to post something meaningful and related to maintenance of health in this blog, somehow I am unable to find the time to do it.

In my 5th years of TCM study and with the many encounters with patients from all walks of life, somehow there is another dimension to life that I would like to pursue rather than just going after all the material gains...

Seeing patients in their late 30s, early 40s striked with cancers, stroke, HBP, HC, etc, and with young children in the family or being brought alone by their aling parents, somehow I feel that all the struggle in life may be very much superficial...

actually life can be very simple, can eat, can sleep and can shit... thats all to it about life...

While I have make up my mind to move from my current pay package to a more simple lifestyle, i am still wondering whether such a move is actually what I want and whether i can continue to supprt my family....

Any way... let nature take its course...
