About Sick Kids, Stocks and Religious Freedom

My kids are all down with the coxsackie virus (a.k.a. the hand, foot and mouth disease). Started with my second son last Friday, I think he got it from the kindergarten. Now he is better but my eldest and youngest are both infected! I was worried at first but the GP told us that it should be a milder virus since my second son got better in just 3 days. The problem is with the spots that grew inside their mouth, they caused them discomfort when trying to eat or drink. My baby girl didn't sleep well at all last night and my hubby and I took turns to attend to her. I hope they will get well soon so that they won't spend their school holidays in agony...

On a different matter, I posted about preparing for our retirement some time back. Ever since then, I have finished the Rich Dad, Poor Dad book and is reading up other books about investment. And I finally started my trading accounts last week. Unfortunately, the first stock I got myself into is already making me a loss! I knew when I bought it that this is a risky stock but high risk also means high returns or high loss. Anyways, I didn't invest too much in it and I still have hope that it will recover enough for me to at least cut loss or gain a little money.

Now for another different matter entirely too, would like to share with you another article from Colin Shafer on Malaysian Insider about religious freedom in Malaysia. Something everyone knows but no one talks about. Since I am super buzy with 3 sick kids, ailing stock and a headache, this is all for this week. Cheerio... And don't forget, world cup is starting this Friday....
