Rain rain rain.....

Waiting for the weather to clear up a tad bit before heading out again.

What a day.

Feeling sorry for the homeless cats and dogs caught in the shower. No one should be left out in the cold, not in a weather like that.

Wishing for an empty ward and a full stomach before going to bed tonight.

Revision.

At the rate of how crazy things are, I'd be damn glad just to be able to hit the bed at all.

On call on a rainy day sucks.

People of Kajang, please drive safely. Don't play with your food, don't choke on your ayam percik, and please oh god damn it please DO effing take your meds please.

I'm begging you. On all fours.

Here's hoping.

to John, from Jane

Curiosity killed the cat.

Probably ran over it like a friggin steamroller, came down from the car to check if it was still twitching and yes, if it was, reversed for a second helping before zooming away in a cloud of smog.

Don't ask questions of which the answers you don't want to know.

Dig too deep and all you'd hit is dirt.

Don't dwell on the past.

Just know that, for now, at this very instance, it is you that matters the most.

Or at least, try your very best to convince yourself so.


Nothing else matters. Not for now, at least.

Where to where how........?

Just called up the nice lady from KKM. Again.

For like, the tenth thousand time.

Letter has finally reached KKM. Dated 2/8/10.

That's a whole friggin 2 month and a few god damn days after completing my HOship.

Not even snailmail would take that long. Not if they hired a paraplegic drunken senile garden snail the size of a bacteria's turd to carrier my letter personally strapped to its shell to Putrajaya while all the way performing Shakira's Waka Waka backwards.

So yeah.

Letter signed, sealed, now finally delivered. I'm yours!! Like, finally?

All it takes now is for the board to sit down.

I can so imagine them folding my request form into a paper plane and then gleefully tossing it like a prepube school prick at a giant map of Malaysia seeing where it lands to determine where they'd be couriering my sorry ass to.

' Kalimantan!!' Fuck.

Oh wait. Abit too far South. Let's try again.

' Pontianak!' Ah........fuck 2.0.

Wait. Is Pontianak considered Malaysia?

I don't bloody know anymore. Never been a big fan of geography. Never been able to get Sabah and Sarawak right in terms of who's north and who's south. Er...wait. Who does Kinabalu belong to...?

I'm so gonna die if I get East Malaysia.

The only thing I'm familiar with across the South China Sea would be Kenny Sia.

And you know, it's a bad, bad sign if the only thing you're familiar with in a foreign land is a big hairy Cina man.

Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.


Keeping fingers cross, tied, knotted.

I don't wana leave.

I don't wana leave without you.

You know I can't do without you.



Damn it.

Here's hoping.

Ramblings of a cholesterol-laden mind

Kinda sorta somehow just hit me that I'm always online doing nothing save staring at the screen staring back at me.

Hmmmm.

Not the most productive thing to do when the rest of the world is knee deep in financial turmoil, political unrest, domestic violence, expanding waistlines and shrinking paychecks.

Hmmmm.

By the way, the Salmon sashimi tonight was absolutely devilishly sinfully OMFGly yummylicious.

Again, not the wisest thing to do with a borderline high cholesterol level and 3 years ticking on the clock before I hit the big Three.

Oh well.

Hmmmm.

You only live once right. At least that's what they say. Also sorely depends on what you believe in as well I guess.

Some folks believe in life after death.

Some believe in turning to dust as you breathe your last breath.

Some believe in having nine lives to start with. Meow.

Some already are living in hell so it doesn't really matter where they go from here on anyway.


What's more, they say life starts at forty so what's the hurry?

Well, if by definition

Life = rickety aching joints + expanding waistline + shrinking manhood + tighter pants + looser double chin

then hell yeah life starts at forty and with an effing glorious bang it starts huh.

Hmmmm.

Oh well.

At least I did something today.

Not sure if mindless ramblings account as a mean of productive effort but WTF its my blog so I can do anything I want on it nyeh nyeh nyeh * toungue out waggling*

Not like anyone's gona come across this anyway.

Recap:

First and foremost, it is with a great sense of sincerity and regret I shall acknowledge to myself that this post may and most probably will be yet another self-indulgent psychotic neo-emo rant about nothing other than nothingness, and would again like so many before it be reserved solely for my own narcissistic reading pleasure on some stormy Friday night with just me, myself and I. And most probably with my laptop on and some porno rendition of The Wizard of oz playing in the background.

The only difference now is a porno rendition of Toy Story playing in the background instead. Wizard of Oz is sooo last century, Dah-ling.

Must be the Starbucks Mocha Frappuchino. Damn Imperialist coffee chains and their frigging ingredients making people go all wonky.

I need to sleep. Or at least pretend to pretend to do so. Before the boogieman in the closet gets tired waiting to pounce on me and falls asleep himself. The poor thing.

Good night.

Love you bie...

xoxoxo

Case 1:

25 yr Chinese dude patient walks in. Sits down.

And the cough mixture. And the runny nose pills. Make sure give me the strong strong one ya. Make sure ya. The glass bottle wan ya. Strong wan ya.

Patient gets up. Walks out.

Case 4:

25 yr old Bangla 'gentleman' walks in. Yeah, that's the official term to use when addressing patients. I'm sure he's gentle in some way but no thanx I don't wana know.

Bangla: Boss! Ini tangan, manyak sakeet woh! Manyak manyak sakeet, itu kerje tak boleh kerje woh! Mau injection! Injection!

Me: ...........erm.....okee....i kasi injection kasi manyak kuat ya.......manyak sakit sikit ooh....okee yaa.......*evil grin*
