understand your soulz

which is MOST important? getting a good job , setting up a family , giving your kids' good education or staying in a country that is safe and secured. my order of importance: 1) family 2) country 3) education 4) job that's easy, but what if you are only allowed to choose 3 AND FORGO THE LAST OPTION?! i will have to forgo country's security...still a tough decision.

no joke... i am not sure when and how it happened at first. the first incident (hard of breathing) started after the night of my fren's Dave wedding (2nd Feb)... i reached home around 12plus midnight... went for a bath and was fast asleep.. around 4am, i woke up feeling breathless... felt asthmatic (my long time evil)... i quickly got myself a cup of milo before taking zenmolin... at least i felt ok and alive and able to sleep without problem (though in living room sofa)... what caused the relapse? i don't remember drinking alcohol or cold drinks. the next incident happened on Sunday night (2 days ago)... same thing, hard of breathing around 4am, slept only around 7am... there was no haze or fog problems on both days, no alcohol and cold drinks... it must be something i ate or drink... CULPRIT: CAFFEINE! i had tea throughout Dave's wedding... i had tea and coffee on Sunday dinner and kopi-time with frens... and it only happen if i took them at night... CAFFEINE-RELATED PROD
