Alright here you go.
I got it.
Thanks for picking these up.
I really still think that you should go to the hospital Rach.
It's fine, it's not a big deal.
That looks pretty bad, look at that color.
I mean it's swollen over here.
I'm fine though, I don't need to go to the doctor.
You sure?
It's way too expensive.
And all they're gonna do is tell me just ice it and rest it, that's it.
Aw man.
Did you try the ankle brace?
Oh I see it here.
It's not comfortable at all.
I think it's a little too big for my foot because this was yours.
So it hits me really wrong.
So this look very much like the football injury I had before.
And that really helped a lot.
Yeah I wish it fit.
It doesn't fit?
You sure you don't wanna go to the hospital?
I really don't want to go to the hospital?
I really don't want to go to the hospital, no.
But babe, don't worry about the money.
We can just... it's okay.
We can afford it.
It's super expensive though.
And I don't think it's broken.
I'm fine, I'm really fine.
Okay, how about this.
How about I run to the store.
And get you a new ankle brace that fits your foot.
Okay.
Yeah?
I also need ibuprofen too.
Sure.
That's like Panadol right?
It's kinda like Panadol but it's a little different.
You know what if I just come with you so I can pick out what kind of brace.
You want to come along?
How are you gonna walk?
I mean, you just got me the crutches.
You sure?
Cuz I can totally go get it for you myself.
No, let me go so I can help you pick it out.
You don't wanna go to the hospital, you wanna come to the store.
This woman.
I need you up and running, yo.
I can't take care of the boys myself.
Well let's go get a brace for me and I'll be good as new.
Okay, you wanna go right now?
Yeah let's go.
Okay careful.
I adjusted the height so it will most likely fit you.
Wanna try it out?
Got it?
How's that?
Maybe a tiny bit tall but I think that's okay.
So let me show you guys what happened.
This is pretty much our garage gym.
And we do box jumps because we do CrossFit.
Okay, so yesterday we were supposed to do 10 box jumps in a row.
I'm not gonna reenact it because I don't want to hurt my other foot.
Do you not wanna show everyone how it works?
How it happened?
No.
So I was jumping up on the box and I hit the corner kinda like this.
And I rolled my ankle outwards like that.
And I tried to regain my balance.
But I fell, so I hit my shin really hard on this corner right here.
I think there's some marks here.
Is that from me?
It could've been, yeah.
Look at that.
Oh what happened here?
Is this blood?
I don't know.
I wasn't bleeding like that.
Man, did you hit it really hard?
I hit it...Well if you can tell from the bruise I hit it very very hard.
I scraped my leg right there a little bit on that, and then I fell.
I didn't see it happen.
Cos I was on a run.
And as soon as I came back I saw her wobbling on the floor.
I was like, oh my gosh what happened?
Can I help you.
And she was like in so much pain.
Rachel.
It hurt.
A lot.
I'm sure it does.
It still does, yeah.
If I don't put weight on it, it doesn't hurt too much.
But as soon as I put weight on it, it just throbs.
Are you sure you want to come with me to the store.
You don't have to, you can rest.
I can go myself.
I wanna go.
I want to help pick it out.
And I want to get out of the house.
Yeah secretly you want a break from your kids, huh?
Yeah.
Nap time, time to go.
Okay.
Let's go let's go.
Hey Grandpa?
Yeah?
Do you have the kids?
Oh yeah.
We're just gonna run out to Target for a little while.
Cool no worries.
This guy's going down for a nap.
Alright.
Bye baby.
Have a good nap, okay?
Bye bye.
Okay bye Dad, see you in a sec.
Bye Zae Zae.
Bye bye daddy.
I'm gonna miss you, I love you.
Bye bye mommy.
Okay, bye.
Have fun with Mimi and Grandpa okay.
Take your time.
Slowly.
We're in no hurry.
Don't get side tracked.
Focus.
Getting side tracked here.
What do you see?
Oh these are Valentines.
So its like I dig you.
I really dig you Valentine.
Then what do I do with it?
So you just give it to your friends as Valentine.
I mean kids give it to other kids.
Oh got it.
Not that Zaden has any friends he can give it to.
Not long enough he's gonna have a girlfriend.
No, he's not.
I actually like it a lot.
Yeah?
You should get it.
This is like a trend now.
Yeah, I usually don't like tie dye. $22 not too bad.
That's really not bad.
Yeah.
I actually needed a new sweatshirt.
But you gotta get the whole set though.
There's no set.
Its just the shirt.
Oh really.
Yeah.
You gotta get the pants that go together with it.
Thats too.. thats too much.
Suppose to be getting an ankle brace but see.
But look how cute it is.
It's nice.
It's pretty cool.
You should get it.
You guys think I should get it?
Yes.
Super cute.
Its my favorite color.
Are you getting more side tracked?
No, no I don't know why Americans are so obsessed with St. Patrick's day.
Oh ya, is it coming up soon?
Ya, in March.
And then Valentines day is in February.
It's crazy.
They're really on top of stuff like this.
Right.
Is that what you need?
Ibuprofen?
Yup.
But this is the generic brand though.
Do you want to get the name brand?
They work the same.
You sure?
I'm sure.
I mean your mom is the pharmacist and she told me that so..
I found braces.
Where?
Oh there.
Those are knee braces.
Do they not have an ankle one?
Oh there.
Oh there you go.
What size is that one?
It doesn't say.
I think its adjustable.
Can I see it?
Well this is the only choice so I guess we're getting this one.
So before we head out, more important question.
What are we having for dinner today?
How about Ramly burger.
Okay.
We have meat at home.
We have buns.
What else do we need?
Lettuce.
I think we need some lettuce.
Okay, lets go get some.
Lets go this way.
Target is one of the most dangerous stores because you come in looking for one or two
things and you end up buying a lot of things.
Yeah.
Bread.
Hmm I love bread.
Should we get some bagels?
Do you want me to carry you on my shoulders?
No thank you.
Like Zaden you know.
I'm a little bit bigger than Zaden.
That's okay, I'm strong.
How about fruit tea sampler?
Remember the one I had the other day?
Like the vanilla chai?
It was so good.
What brand is it?
Bigelow.
It was down here last time.
See all the Bigelows are down here.
Yeah.
It looks like everybody got it because its gone.
Yeah, its right here.
Its gone yo.
None at the back?
Unfortunately..
Yes they do.
Yay!
Great.
You tricked me.
I tricked you yeah.
Oh this box is messed up so we gotta get a new box.
Is there another one?
Yeah.
You double tricked me.
Logesh says I have a tea problem.
She does.
I don't. K, guys.
There's so many tea at home.
I don't have that many teas.
But they're all different.
Some are green, some are oolong, some are fruity, some are black teas.
So I need all of them.
Oh, I've always wondered this.
What in the world are Kodiak Cakes?
What's a kodiak cake, what's a flapjack?
You don't know what a flapjack is?
No, that's why I'm asking.
It's another word for pancake.
What?
Yeah.
Really?
Because you flip it.
It's a flapjack.
Should we get this one?
We can make that at home.
Really?
This is gluten free.
You don't want that.
Okay, no gluten free.
I want all gluten.
Tambah (add) gluten.
Before we buy the entire store let's go.
Here Rach, this is for you.
Aww.
Thank you.
Can we put it back now?
You can put it back now.
So this is something that we don't have in Malaysia.
We have self-checkouts here in the States.
There are some grocery stores you can actually go check out yourself.
So that's kinda what Rachel is doing right now.
So these are all like self-checkouts.
But Rachel is having some trouble.
Did you mess it up?
I messed it up accidentally.
Can we get some help please?
Sorry, I accidentally hit carrot I was trying to hit lettuce.
Thank you.
No, it did it again.
See, that's what it did.
Alright thank you.
How many bags? Have you taken one bag? One bag.
Apple Pay
There. Where are they, do they actually have it?
Do you have the pretzel bites?
We'll get two sets of pretzel bites.
Yeah that's it.
Whoa it's so little.
We were in there for maybe 30 minutes.
But it's already so dark out here.
I don't know if you can see that, it may be brighter on the camera.
But dang, it got dark so fast.
Okay, back in the car about to head home.
But you guys are probably wondering from the title, the problem in America. Let me share this with you.
So in Malaysia we have free healthcare.
That's not the same here.
We both have really good medical insurance from our companies.
They pay I wanna say up to a thousand dollars for the whole family.
Something like that.
Over maybe a thousand dollars a month for the whole family.
This is what our companies pay for us.
But still, healthcare here is extremely expensive.
And what happens with that is, something like this happens to her when she gets injured
like this, we're very reluctant to go to the hospital.
Because we're afraid it's going to cost so much money.
For example, remember when I hurt my ankle playing soccer, it was so bad.
I thought it was fractured, I couldn't walk at all.
Like it was way worse than what she was going through right now.
And so Rachel immediately rushed me to the ER.
Emergency Room.
Which is an Emergency Room.
And that cost $500.
And all they did was we walked in, they put a wrap on me, gave me some pain medication,
and sent me home.
That's it.
$500.
Right.
And that is with having medical insurance.
So the problem is the cost of healthcare here is extremely expensive.
To the point that people are afraid to go to the hospital because they don't know how
much they're gonna spend.
And the other thing is you're not going to know how much your healthcare cost until after
the procedure.
Which is crazy.
So a lot of times here we just wait it out and if something doesn't get slightly better,
then we go to the doctor.
But until then, we just tough it out.
I've heard of a couple who had their 3 or 4 year old kid who was so sick.
But they are so afraid of the cost of the healthcare that they drove all the way to
the hospital, they parked outside.
In the car, they waited with their child just in the hopes that the child will recover before
deciding to go inside right.
So they were just actually sitting in the car, just waiting, hoping for the child to
recover.
Because they are so afraid to walk in there.
Because as soon as they walk in through that door, they know that they might end up with
a bill that they cannot afford.
Which is really scary.
And so, its definitely a problem here.
Its something that is not easy to fix.
We don't have the solution for it.
We don't know how it is.
But what I wanna share with you guys is in Malaysia yes, sometimes we don't get the best
healthcare but at the very least government provides free healthcare.
I think you pay like 2 or 3 ringgit at most.
But thats negligible right.
You still get healthcare regardless.
And sometimes yes, the wait times and things like that is long but we have to appreciate
what Malaysia has done for us.
I didn't realize and appreciate that until I moved overseas.
This is something I probably shouldn't share in the video, but I will share it anyways.
My first 4 years in America I had no healthcare.
It was scary.
Anytime anything happened to him, we were constantly worried.
His sister is a doctor actually in Malaysia.
And he would get on the phone with her and ask her like what to do.
It was a really scary time.
Having no healthcare here is an extremely dangerous thing.
I do not recommend anyone out there who is watching this video do this.
It is not okay.
But that was a very big risk.
I didn't know how bad it could have been.
Because if the same injury like this would have happened to me and I did not have medical
insurance, I would have been looking to be paying 20, 30 thousand dollars, easily.
Its crazy.
Crazy expensive.
With medical insurance, it might cost like several hundred dollars which is still expensive.
And there's also a fine.
He was fined for not having health insurance.
Yeah.
So the government here fined me because I didn't have healthcare.
Which means that I still had to pay money.
The reason why I didn't have healthcare at that point is because I was broke.
My job wasn't paying me well.
It was really bad.
They didn't provide any benefits.
I was stuck.
So I had to hustle for 4 years.
But thank God nothing serious happened to me during that time.
So anyway, enough of ranting.
We need to go home.
I'm starving.
I need to go make some Ramly burger.
I'm excited about that.
Yeah.
That will make my ankle feel better.
I know.
Let's go.
Hi.
How are the boys.
Zae Zae, guess what Dada got for you?
Pretzel bites.
Okay so just made my Ramly burger.
Finally I get to eat, after serving my fam.
How was the Ramly burger?
Delicious.
Zaden still working on his.
Amazing!
Yeah, you like it.
You bet.
Alright, look at that.
Zae Zae, how much did you like your Ramly burger?
So much.
So much?
Let's see.
Wow.
You demolished that buddy.
Is a Ramly burger your favorite burger?
Can you say Ramly burger?
Ramly Burger.
Good job.
Baby Kyren.
Did he get any Ramly burger?
No.
Why not?
Not old enough.
I'll give him some susu (milk) later.
He's like licking his lips.
He's so hungry.
So you put your new sweater on but you haven't put your ankle brace.
Priorities.
I mean, isn't this so cute?
It is, it's pretty dope.
I like it.
I like it a lot.
Let's get your ankle brace on.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Come, let me help you put it on.
Okay.
I like it.
It's a lot better than the other one.
It gives some support but it's not uncomfortable.
Cool I really hope you feel well.
Thank you.
Okay fam, that's the end of our vlog today.
We are not going to do shoutouts today, unfortunately.
Rachel is out of commission, which means that I've got to pick up some of her slack.
It's been a rough day with the kids and stuff like that.
But, it's okay, we all have these kind of days, it happens.
I just really hope that her foot recovers as soon as possible.
Because we can't survive without her.
Anyways, thank you so much for watching.
