Felt like a schoolboy although I'm working.
The reason? I don't own a car.
And then to make things worse, Huah told me today, 'Even as a schoolboy you drove around, what about now...'
Haih!
Anyway, went out with Ireith for a Left 4 Dead appointment. Sadly it was cancelled. Looking forward to a 2nd date to kill zombies!
Die zombie die! Eh they're already dead to be called zombies anyway...

Dude, Be Cool
Had some experiences of ultra-kiasu-kiasi-ness around my workplace these days.
Elevator fully packed from 6th floor downwards. Everyone wanted to get to the ground level to have lunch. Just as the door finally opened at the ground level, one uncle, from behind, started to 'excuse me' loudly and then started pushing/squeezing through the crowd, though it's obvious everyone's taking their turn to exit the lift (according to position). One of the HO could not stand him, and shot back, 'We are all getting out!'
Uncle, getting out of the lift doors in 0.0001sec does not win you a medal. Getting out of the lift doors last does not mean you lose.
Next one at the bus queue. The bus fits 20 people, all seated. Queue number 19 is empty (one guy left the queue) and the conductor asked if someone would like to fill in the blank/seat, 'Last seat here for one more~~' Queue number 20 an aunty shouted, 'I want I want!!!!!' as if her life would had depend on the seat. My eyes rolled, the other passengers stared. She could had just told the conductor nicely, he's standing right beside her.
She might had thought the conductor a bitch for trying to deny her rights to board the bus by introducing another guy to 'steal her seat' although she's already in queue. Would there be such injustice in bright daylight in this land of opportunity? No I don't think so.
Well, maybe she wasn't well informed that the bus would fit her as she has already been 'booked' for seat number 20. Maybe she thought that she will be left out. On second thoughts, I think it's the way she's been brought up. Fed with THIS, fed with THAT. Whatever you want to put it as. I say, 'fed with K.'

Oral Erosion
Had accidentally bitten myself on my right inner cheek a few days ago. Turned into an erosion eventually. Had been affecting my appetite for a few days, I can't enjoy my food without causing pain to the site!
It rained here in the afternoon. After work (Sunday half day) I was extremely tired, could not even finish my usual dose of afternoon movie. Ended up sleeping the whole afternoon away. The rain and thunder kept me asleep until 5.50pm. Then I woke up. The rain had left us with a cooling weather, GJ GJ!
Decided to go out somewhere for dinner. Took the bus and ended up at Upper Thompson Rd near a 'Todak Lane'. Wakakaa... The story where the todak-s just decided to fly around impaling poor villagers and the smart prime minister who asked ppl to tank with their thighs!
Anyway, had some soup based noodles with dumplings there near Todak Lane. The mushrooms tasted not bad.
The best dumpling noodles is still the one in the PRC operated stall in Taman Megah Ming Tin!

MSFSX
Yeah got myself FS X.
Too bad I can't reproduce the dog-with-a-bad-cough noise from the A320... Wakakaka! What a way to describe that sound..
Flew to KLIA today, crashed 2 times and landed 2 times off the runway. Damn farny, can't really control it with my mouse. And a joystick is expensive to begin with.

Man on the MRT
Saw a guy with huge ears in the MRT today after work. Thought he looked familiar. Then I remembered, he was the guy that I seen one afternoon, admitted by the social worker for query suicide intentions.
He was the one with the BLUNTED affect, and that's the first time I experienced a patient with paucity of speech. Getting his story out of his mouth was like digging for gold. Yah, he has problems paying for his debts after a bad deal selling off his HDB.
Good to see him around with less blunted affect. At least he didn't kill himself in the end. Looks like he really does care for his mother (the only reasons stopping him from killing himself during that admission was: 1. He was afraid to hurt his mother, and 2. He was afraid to die)

Limbo
Saw a Johor-plate Viva EX below my block today parked in one of the bays. Oh I envy them. Oh how I wish I can drive back home every weekend, no need to rely anymore on planes and their flight schedule.
Out of a sudden the feeling of home sick flashed again. Can't find the words to explain the urge to go home to my loved ones and spend my life with them STAT. But then my mind reversed into the rationalization mode, and I can hear Madonna singing, 'If it's bitter at the start, then it's sweeter in the end...'
I was bought up this way, how I wish I could erase the word 'rational' in my mind and just do what I desire.
Needless to say, I am thrusted back into this limbo again...
It's just the way I'm pre-programmed. I wish for a brain wash right now. Please help this poor tiger. She misses her rider!Saturday, October 16, 2010
Short Trip Back Home
Went to PD. A decision over breakfast in Thivi Jaya. Suddenly felt, 'Ahh we're bored let's go to PD!'. Huah's typical respond, as expected, 'Yeah mannn.........'
And so we drove to PD on the trunk road. Found some surprisingly clean beaches, with the sand leveled out to make great plains of sand dunes. What a vast improvement compared to old Teluk Kemang with the dirty beaches and the longkangs draining into the sea in plain sight. Looks like the state government is indeed serious in redeveloping PD. Good start, let's just hope things would get better from here.
Went around Seremban after that. Paid visit the WongKam aka The Store and got some great soy milk beside the Brother's shop. Huah went for some 3D HongKong ghost movie after that, which she ?enjoyed.
Went to Siang Malam for supper with Huah at night. Sad, they don't serve my beloved Indomee nor Maggi Goreng. Their roti planta had deteriorated too. I guess this would be the last time I visit Siang Malam. It used to be our hang out place during sec years.
Huah crazy at the fishing site in PD.
The new vast dunes of PD. Comes with spotlights too! 
Impromptu decision to head to PD, thus the newly bought slippers at a local stall there.
Kites for sale, smiley kite, octopus kite. Just name it, we got it.

at some farny bar in a farny club
Jalan-jalan. Never thought the receptionist would even show us the brochure.
Cendol in Teluk Kemang on a sunny day.

RTA
Bad road traffic accident on the NS highway yesterday involving multiple vehicles.
What happened still remains a mystery. 12 people passed on, for no good reason other than a random act of fate - a RTA.
Life is indeed short, must really enjoy it while it last. There's no way to tell what life will bring you next!

10 Oct 10
Time spent together is, and will be always good time.
Spent 10:10am of 10 Oct 10 having breakfast together at a market in Northern Bishan. No wonder breakfast today tasted different.
That's quality time. That's a memorable 10:10 10/10/10.

Hacking Cough
Running around with Huah post call today. She took a bus after work on a Friday evening just to keep me accompanied over the weekend...
Felt very bad couldn't stop coughing even in the ward during work. Surely some would had thought of me trying to make an impression to the bosses by coughing out loud during work hours, but I just couldn't stop coughing. Bad URTI, I thought it was over when I recovered from my sore throat, but wells, I was so wrong.
Went to Sands today again for a second visit. This time though we used the appropriate MRT station instead of the ill-fated adventure with James Neoh and HMC where we practically walked from the Marina Bay station to Sands under the scorching sun. Sorry guys, I guess I just messed up the directions that time!
Dinner was pizza by Pei Fung. She makes nice pizza! I was enjoying the food but was again, too tired to participate in small talk.
Now back in my room with my damned cough and lovely Huah, just going to take a bath soon and enjoy my wine.

Max Ward Mx
Max ward management. DIL DNR. Harsh words to family members, but do we know whether the patient on the other end, might just think these are the best things to hear at the height of their ordeal?
Tried MaxWardMx one old lady who premorbidly was bedbound in NH, non-communicative on NG feeding now admitted for pneumonia. Family not keen for discussion of max ward management despite being informed that overall life quality would not improve with ICU admission/intubation if the old aunty deteriorates.
How do we make people understand that ventilating a 'dead' person is like giving flushes of water to the gills of a fish who's trapped in a little, drying up pudge of water? The moment we stop it, either the fish will die, or fall back into the same old misery...

Absence
Absence.
Had been occupied with studies, then DOTA, then work. Had just decided to write something just to cheer myself up.
Came back from a tiring night. Had nearly been a one night stand involving aunties and sickies. Sleep is such luxury!
Had a picnic in 75 yesterday thanks to the nurses. Now I know why patients refuse the sandwiches--it tastes HORRIBLE. The oat bread, the un-creamy butter, the combination: T.T
Now back from work post-call, finished Machette, and lying on my bed wondering, should I
and lastly, if only I have a car. Duh~~
