Kill Cancer Before It Kills You

I study Cancer on Wiki for kicks. Dun mess.


Pam Song: Eh, I was reading hor... There are three vaccines we can take to prevent cancer.

Duh Roads: No need lah. You wanna know how to prevent cancer?

Pam Song: How?

Duh Roads: Don't work in Advertising.

Pam Song: HAHAHAHA. You're right lah!


Sounds like it's time to quit Advertising (before it kills me) and start chasing another dream (before it's too late to start over). I wanna do something cool. Something fun. Something I can look forward to every day. Something, I don't know, like... Motherhood? HAHA.


Kiddin'. Dee, Mee, don't panic. (And dun cheer and start dancing around the room, either. You're not becoming grandparents yet.)

GOOD TO KNOW
---------------------
  • Every year, at least 200,000 people die worldwide from cancer related to their workplace.[41]
  • Currently, most cancer deaths caused by occupational risk factors occur in the developed world.[41]
  • It is estimated that approximately 20,000 cancer deaths and 40,000 new cases of cancer each year in the U.S. are attributable to occupation.[42]

Pam Song said...

ATTN: hon
– Haha. I didn't start it. You did. =p

hon said...

dang.

which makes me curious actually... are you married yet?

Pam Song said...

ATTN: hon
– Haha. No. I'm so far from being married like you wouldn't believe. I'm not even dating. Haha.

hon said...

ya know, in singapore, the SDU (social development unit aka single desperate ugly) would kill to enroll someone like you: attractive, intelligent, good job, and above all... motherly! haha.

Pam Song said...

ATTN: hon
– Haha. I wouldn't mind making a move further down south if prospects were better for me. Haha. Does the SDU have anybody to suggest? A book of names (and pictures/resumes/medical history) perhaps? *grin*

hon said...

you made SDU sound like a place they make test tube babies. hahaha. they're job is to mish mash single people (who are too concerned about their careers) together.

im not sure about this though, we're not really famed as a city of romance. hmmm.

Pam Song said...

ATTN: hon
– Waitaminute. It's a REAL body!? Seriously???

Wow. A lot of you guys must stay single/unmarried for a long time till your govt has started worrying for you (and its future).

And no kidding about the city of romance thingy. Haha. I went there over one Christmas. That was the most romantic I've seen Sg. And even then, it was more family oriented than couple oriented. Othertimes... not quite as heart-warming.

hon said...

yea SDU is a real organisation targetting single people at their prime. the gov here is pro family and pro babies. most of the time, its the single people being too picky about their partners.

i am genuinely surprised when you say it's romantic here in SG during xmas. it doesnt even snow here! and the people are so ungracious... haha.

I feel that everyone should at least know the symptoms about cancer. Early detection is the best way to kill cancer. A cancer doesn't kill that person only, but the whole family around him/her in terms of morality, financially and etc...

early symptoms? arh...we start from kids- leukemia with various types, then retinoblastoma(eye cancer-bulging eyes), teenagers-cervical cancer i.e unusual bleeding- get vaccine once you start menses. Intestine, oral and rectum cancer due to smoking, unhealthy diet..or spontaneously. anybody can get it,when he/she is unlucky.

Wow..knowing that so many type of cancer will really kill us d/t boredom.

Pam Song said...

ATTN: hon
– Wah. Things are that slow on the production side in Singapore ah?

And yeah, it doesn't snow but at least you guys celebrate Christmas. In Malaysia, Christmas is just another day to shout "SALE!" -_-'


ATTN: yapthomas
– Yeah, people should learn to catch it. That aside, it's good to do annual medical check-ups. Screenings. And yes, it affects families and loved ones.


ATTN: Crazyfool - Make You Crazy And FooL
– Haha. Yeah, I'm in advertising. And what was that about the pets?! You consider cancer a pet!??! @_@


ATTN: Choo Hwei Ming
– Go away lah you doctor wannabe but not yet be!


ATTN: mknace
– Hmmm. Copy paste? Same comment wan.


ATTN: Manji
– It's scary lah the amount of things that can kill us. And to think that it's your own body that's turning against itself? That's scarier.

the ladies here cant stand to date guys less successful than them, and the guys cant stand to date ladies who are more successful.

result: deadlock.

all the public hols here are commercialised like crazy as well! we shout SALE for no reason here too, like now... the great singapore sale. consumerism is the devil's brainchild. >_<
