How stool can determine your health

Salam Ramadan to all, hopefully 3rd day of Ramadan bring much barakah to all of us. I can feel the difference of this Ramadan as I go home early and reach home as early as 4pm. My routine start from boiling the water,cook rice, prepare dishes and today I'm very happy that I made Roti Jala and Curry Chicken .I truly enjoyed the luxury of breaking fast with the family which something I not enjoyed on my previous working life.

No major things happen on my career as prudential agent on this fasting month but I certainly wanted to share some stories from the talk I went last week, 25th August 2008. The speaker was Mr. Chan, Senior Agency Manager from Singapore. Mr. Chan said there is one thing that can tell our health status. You want to know what is it? It's your stools. The normal stools should be:-

• 1. Light brown colour. Dark or Black colour means your stools has been kept in colon for very long ( 3-4 days or even a week ). Common practice is to go toilet every day.
  
• 2. Sink or float? Check your stools, if it sink, not a good signal, means it has been in the colon for a quite sometimes.

3. Weight, normal stools should be at 600g average,if it lesser, than the system is not functioning as it suppose to be

4. Shape. If your stools shape is like a pencil or narrower than usual..hmmm, you might want to check with doctor as it's a symptom of colon cancer

5. Finding blood ( either bright red or very dark) in your stool.. This is a serious symptom, if it occur, don't delay to perform check with doctor.

Most often, all symptoms are not due to cancer as other health problem can have the same symptoms. The thing I would like to emphasis is, Have U Had Enough Medical Coverage should any of these things happen to you? Ohhh, my company covers me..don't be too sure my friend, because your company also a business institution and they have their own internal limit. If the cost exceeded 20,000, do u have money to settle it? Or if u have, don't u wanted to use it for something else rather than paying medical cost? It's your own choice.

If you would like to know more, please don't hesitate to email me at ilanatrah@prupartner.com.my or sms/call me at 012-217 9790.

May God Bless Us in this Ramadan.

Andrea's Fabby Baby!

I would like to introduce everyone to my friend Andrea, she was my ex-colleague. One thing about her, she such an angel with 'bitch' behaviour..opsss, mind my language...just kidding ya babe. To be honest, she is so sweet and I enjoyed every single time with her n she is such a lovely babe..

Apart of her 'happy go lucky' character, unfortunately on June 2008, she was diagnosed of having a fibroid on her uterus. The diameter was about 6cm and on July it grew till 10 cm.. Just imagine a tennis ball, or not, maybe a lawn ball..slightly bigger..Imagine, such a ball on your uterus..It's scary..


Honestly, I was so shocked when I hear it as it was never come across in my mind tat such an energetic babe will get it, some more she still young and single. But then, as I think back, I got another friend tat also young, single and perfectly fit has cyst at her right ovary and endometriosis at her left ovary. Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE on these modern days..And in fact it's common amongst young ladies to get it.


But now come to the worst part, as Andrea plan to undergo her surgery which schedule on August 2008 and when she checked with the company on the financial stuff . Guess what, she does NOT have any medical card from the company as the company did not buy any insurance plan for her...Things getting dirty and from what I heard also, they were numbers of her colleagues do not have any insurance plan.

Just take a deep breath and think about these :-
1) What will happen if one of the employees meet an accident and need to admitted and the operation cost will reach 5 figures?

2) What will happen if the company is just a small sendirian berhad which hardly breathe and having problem to pay the company salary and need to come out with 5 figures and to pay the operation cost?

3) What will happen if company doesn't want to pay the surgery cost?
What will happen if..What will happen..and the list continues...

You want to know the solution? Simple, just park aside 10% of your salary, purchase on investment + savings + protection + medical card plan from Prudential..Why Prudential? Because Prudential holds 21% market share and pay out 40% claims in year 2007 which equivalent to RM800 million! All your worries and questions will be answered..SO SIMPLE..

Coming back to Andrea story, lucky for her, she is an existing client from Prudential..Thanks ya babe for choosing Prudential! Worst case also, the medical card is always there for her to swipe..Lucky for her also that the company is willing to come out with their own company money to cover the expenses..It's the luck!

But, remember one thing, not everyone is lucky, is always good to think about ourselves..be selfish, think about ourselves because at the end, we don't want to be such a burden to others.

I wish you all the best babe and I know u such a strong girl!!
And Yes I Do Love You.. (-:
