It feels like i am taking care of a small kid, (and it's gonna be a "son" =) ) - having to feed him once a week, wash him whenever he's dirty, replace his shoes when it's torn( guess what? he had his shoes changed 3 times! how unlucky is that? ) and lastly bringing him to see a doctor for his medical check up.<br /><br />And I just brought my "boy" for a medical check up last week and it cost me <strong><strong><span style="color:#ffff00;">GBP 300!!</span> </strong></strong>Almost fainted on the spot... That's like <span style="color:#33ff33;"><strong>RM 2100</strong></span> FOR A 2- hour check up. Hmm..like a doctor's consultation fees...not adding the treatment yet. Never had i expected it to be so expensive especially he was fairly "young". Apparently the labour cost in England is the culprit for the sky-rocketing high bills that i had to pay. All he needed was a new shoe and a ...hmmm "brake pad" Let me give an example, the brake pad was GBP 38. Okay, i would think that's fair enough..and guess what? the labour fee was GBP 50! "Eyes popping out"! that's like another brake pad +++ ... and i still have the VAT to pay...(government tax)...I just felt being robbed in broad day light that day..sobs..with me voluntarily swiping the card...sobs... that's like half a PS3!! =(<br /><br /> I guess it's hard to be a mother...sobs...lucky there's no such thing as vaccination to do.. is there? ahhh hope not..<div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div> </p> </div> <p class="post-footer"> <em>posted by ^yViNn3^ @ <a href="http://yvinne.blogspot.com/2007/03/i-am-having-child.html" title="permanent link">10:26 PM</a></em> <span class="item-control blog-admin pid-14242081"><a style="border:none;" href="https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=18102217&postID=8808858781555873591&from=pencil" title="Edit Post"><img class="icon-action" alt="" src="https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" height="18" width="18"></a></span> </p> </div>   <div id="comments"> <a name="comments"></a> <h4>0 Comments:</h4> <dl id="comments-block"> </dl> <p class="comment-timestamp"> <a class="comment-link" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/18102217/8808858781555873591" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'bloggerPopup', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=1,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=400,height=450');return false;">Post a Comment</a> </p> <p id="postfeeds">Subscribe to Post Comments [<a target="_blank" href="http://yvinne.blogspot.com/feeds/8808858781555873591/comments/default" type="application/atom+xml">Atom</a>]</p> <p class="comment-timestamp"> <a href="http://yvinne.blogspot.com/"><< Home</a> </p> </div>  </div></div>   <div id="sidebar"><div id="sidebar2"> <h1 id="blog-title"> <a href="http://yvinne.blogspot.com/"> ^MacHead eats an aPPle A day^ </a> </h1> <p id="description"></p>  <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrI7moWFtQ3qmhbTvm34jcPJwMWLl7PlZV7hwWiMvM14ErdyOu90rBl7FWZAvxxGevv7AgpTZ6FtS0BSjd3AtNzh6vK7JfoKq7RotFIsnJSj8mY6CHJoHtyJ3PXOTWJ5KW8xbtwQ/s100-h/250px-Apple_Computer_Logo.svg.png"><img style="display:block; margin:00px ; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrI7moWFtQ3qmhbTvm34jcPJwMWLl7PlZV7hwWiMvM14ErdyOu90rBl7FWZAvxxGevv7AgpTZ6FtS0BSjd3AtNzh6vK7JfoKq7RotFIsnJSj8mY6CHJoHtyJ3PXOTWJ5KW8xbtwQ/s220/300px-Apple_Computer_Logo.svg.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209841644969700994" /></a> </span></div>   <script language="javascript"> var chatterbox = 'no'; </script> <script language="javascript" src="http://chatter.flooble.com/chatter.php?js=true&id=mixedbanana&sid=4499331"> </script><noscript> <a href="http://chatter.flooble.com/chatter.php?id=mixedbanana&sid=4499331&popup=true&w=480&h=400" target="flooblechatterbox" onClick="window.open('about:blank','flooblechatterbox','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,copyhistory=no,width=480,height=400');return true;"> <img src="http://img.flooble.com/images/chatter/chaticon.gif" border="0" align="absbottom">Talk</a> in my <a href="http://chatter.flooble.com/">flooble chatterbox, a free javascript chat tag board / shoutbox / tagboard program for your xanga, diary, blogger or weblog</a> | <a href="http://www.flooble.com/scripts/">get free javascript games and effects</a> </noscript> <script language="javascript"> if (!chatterbox || chatterbox != 'ok') { document.write('This <a href="http://chatter.flooble.com/">flooble chatterbox</a> is'); document.write(' temporarily unavailable.
