When my eczema was really bad, I found that Eucerin helped me tremendously. Too bad Eucerin is not available here. And yes, they tend to be expensive because they cater for sensitive skin.
i got catephil and Eucerin and almost everything...nothing helps me...
and i am lazy... lazy to moisturer my skin.

I used to tell my colleagues that if I died at home, no one would realise until I didn't turn up for work. So, for instance, if I had planned my roster such that I get four days off in a row, and I went home and died on the last day I worked prior to my rest day, my poor dead body will lie unnoticed until I fail to turn up for work on the 5th day! Worse, I don't think they will alert the police if I disappeared for just one day, so maybe, by the time someone comes around to my place, I would have been dead for at least an entire week!!
Die also cannot die pretty!

Depends though. So far, I haven't received messages or calls from friends, if I go missing from wherever. Haha. I guess I got used to it. If they do contact me, it's because they need me to do something for them.

erhh...no need to see liao.
i kana SUMMONED to stay in 7-day stay the hospital by chief specialist at National Skin Centre when my almost whole body skin was "brokeN". When I told her, i have to work, she says if my company dare to ask me to work, she send court summon to my company..then I was kidnapped straight to the hospital straight away.

In Singapore, one can afford to be lazy to moisturize, and the situation still won't be as bad as if one doesn't moisturize here!
Humidity in Singapore is always in the high 80% range, here, it can be as low as in the 30% range. A few days ago, the Summer quickly turned into Autumn. I know because the skin on my fingers started to crack and my nose started to have small nosebleeds and my nostrils kena clogged up with dried blood clots.
I bought dozens of pairs of cotton gloves, so after moisturising them, I slip on a pair of cotton gloves and go to bed. I bought a 550g tub of Cetaphil cream to use!
And I have tons of other moisturisers that I've tried and tossed aside cause it failed my stringent Quality Assurance Test!

Everyone stays too far away, or is too busy to bother. Somehow, it's much harder to make friends here. I think most people started living here as migrants themselves, or they have met so many migrants that they no longer pay any special attention to any one migrant.
It's odd... I heard my Filipino colleagues, who've worked in a few other countries before, tell me that they find the Brits friendlier than Aussies in general. Even my Irish colleague complains to me about the Aussies when we have our outings!
Anyways, I've slowly gotten used to being solitary. I've always loved to do certain things alone anyways.
What to do? Feel lonely when in solitude; feel frustrated when in company.

i'll bet a lot of money it's food-triggered, because she eats about 2kg of everything.. including belachanas you can see, coughing her spleen out, still eat about 5kg (this time not exaggerating) of CNY stuff.. and told not to eat chicken.. you see what happened..
maybe she's allergic to gaffer tape.. but then, if she was, she'd be dead by now
anyway, enough of this.. i'm going home

I agree with the last two sentences.
Okay this is freaky. Another similarity. Haha.

I think after you get to a certain age, you somehow accept that no matter how close you are to certain friends, in the end, when it comes to the crunch, you are alone.
Heck, even if you get married, you might end up alone someday too.
Sadly, in this world, nothing is permanent anymore. Few people hold relationships and friendships sacred. Lucky are the few who do find friends who stay with them through thick and thin for life.
I have had to evaluate my life recently, and start making plans for a life alone. I never ever thought I'd be alone for the rest of my life, but now, the possibility of that happening has hit me and it seems as if I've suddenly come to accept that. All these years, I've refused to even dwell on this possibility. Now, I can't escape anymore liao...

So true.I told MPB that I hope I die before him because I don't think I can handle it without him around

You also kena the steroids / hormones treatment?
I put on 22 kgs in less than a year when I was put on hormonal treatment for some @!#O(*@#$ condition!
I felt so embarrassed and ashamed that I avoided all my friends then. I lost touch with almost all of them as a result. I'm still carrying the bulk of that weight around. Tamade! Sticks to me like glue! If only my dollar notes stick to me with such tenacity!
Anyways, a few years after that episode, a close friend confessed that she and her mom were horrified when I went to visit them because I had suddenly put on all that weight.
Weight is an extremely touchy topic with me because of this. It's like one minute, I had guys look at me, and then suddenly, I had become invisible! -

Funny thing is, I've spoken to a lot of elderly widows and widowers... a few of them tell me of how they live on, filling their lives with friends and activities, but always thinking of their deceased love of their lives. Awwww...
But there are also those, esp the widows, who say to me, "Are you single? Good. Trust me, stay single! Marriage is over-rated!"

I don't really think it matters with age. It's more of the experiences you've gone through. Of course, the older you are the more experiences you have. But one can only tolerate so much.
And yeah. Nothing is permanent anymore. Friendship and relationships nowadays are taken so lightly that being alone, in most cases, would be so much better.
