A queue? Needs a little explanation. Like, a massive line waiting to get food? I don't blame you. Some things are so worth waiting in line for. Just wait until In and Out burger is there....WOW! Their burgers are fantastic and their fries (although not McDonalds) are seasoned fries and you get a ton. They are pretty good!
I agree...I cannot imagine Elton or Agatha dealing with the difficulties of epilepsy. I think it takes an extreme amount of courage and fight. Never give up. No matter how bad things get...they can always get better. At least, Keegan has taught me that. He definitely changed my life and career. I changed careers and having been working with the special needs community for 24 years. He definitely touches everyone who meets him. He just has that smile and that innocence and is so open to everyone.
On another note, what is a 99 year leasehold? I've not heard of that before. You have a lot of friends in Australia? Have you ever visited?
I know there are so many triggers for seizures and some are so hard to figure out. I'm glad you are doing well with Briviact, so far. Did you increase your dose? I thought you started at 25mg? I could be mistaken. One thing you mentioned was caffeine. I have heard that could be a trigger. I'm glad there was nothing major with your caffeinated tea.
Please keep me posted. I enjoy our conversations and learning form you 🙂

Hi Kerry,
I just realized from my carecagiver my nightly Briviact dossage is 50mg, not 25mg. Sorry for the error. After 7 nights, if there's no worry, I can include another 50mg in the morning. That will make it 100mg daily.
As for the queue, I mean we queue when there's a hype for anything. For e.g., if In & Out decides to set its first overseas outlet here and there are many super eager to try, long queue will surely form outlet that outlet for that piece of fried chicken. Singaporeans are crazy, I know. Seasoned fries are everywhere here, but I just want mine crispy and with salt.
Your current job is a really meaningful one. I have a friend working in social service. Admittedly, if one wants to be crazily rich, that's not the place to go. However, that's a job you can bring smiles to faces of so many people. Keegan is already living a life with purpose. When our time in this world is up, all of us will leave this world equal. It's so important for you to find joy and purpose in things you do, and I believe your job is giving you those and more.
Singapore's residential properties have 2 categories - leasehold and freehold. A freehold one sits on a plot of land which belongs to the purchaser forever, thus it can be an asset which can be passed from generation to generation. As for leasehold, the property sits on a plot which belongs to the purchaser for the stated period (normally 99 years) upon purchasing, often by a property developer. After the period is up, it goes back to the state. The plot of land is surely huge enough for apartment blocks with units of different sizes to be sold. The state also operates a public property developer arm, building public housing without all those frills thus can be bought with lower pricing. I hope my explanation makes sense?
And yes, I had been to Australia multiple times. Singaporeans just love traveling to Australia for holiday. Since our law doesn't allow for dual citizenship, my friends there can at most have permanet residency status unless they choose to give up being a Singaporean and apply to become an Australian. However a Singapore passport is too precious to give up. They love the life there. Living in a house with a garden which is often cheaper than a local shoebox apartment, A car here costs at least $130,000 and it only belongs to the owner for 10 years. I think over here a car can be had for less 0s with no limit to ownership period. Of course, no place is an utopia and all of us recognise that.
You need to come to this part of Asia to experience for yourself the own unique wonders each country has to offer (I doubt you will fly 10,000 miles to eat KFC). I enjoy our conversation too. Learning, and be inspired by your stories. Have a good morning, and a good day ahead.
Cheers,
Louis
