1. You have to wait a whole day for a consultation with the doctor. There are just way too many people! Bring along a magazine, wait, make that two!

2. There are no toilet paper and most of the toilets cannot be flushed. Cliché. But the wards' toilets are clean and usable.

3. Good looking doctors do exist :) But people, including the family of the patient, do not usually get to see them. It is so not like in the movies.

4. Nurses know a lot. Ask them.

5. People in the wards love to talk to everyone else.

6. A container tagged "... hydroalcohol ..." is free for everyone's use. Just press the liquid into your hand and wipe it all over you hand to kill germs. No water needed :)

7. It is pretty cold in the hospital.

8. The bed is very soft. But you may have to take the blanket yourself from the shelves. Be careful not to mistake it with the mortuary blanket.

9. There are beds in the waiting room for patients to sleep while waiting for an allocation of ward which could take hours.

10. All the shows on tv are in Malay.

11. Lunch and tea and perhaps dinner are provided for patients who are waiting for their reports and for a ward. They have to, cuz patients wait for 10 hours (exaggerated) before actually admitted into the ward.


ps: I am fine and I am not admitted into any hospital.

Went to work today to be greeted by my boss that there is no work today and for the week.

My first thought, "OMG, no more money!!!" And it actually affected me for a while. Affected being my mental stability which affected my ability to work properly and my communication skills with other coworkers.. Haha.

Apparently, the centre has students from the quarantined school, so the MOH required the centre to be closed. And the most surprising part was when the child came to collect his homework, we found out that he actually had shifted school years ago! Wth. However, my boss remembers that she still had some students from there.

However, I was lucky that I got to stay for a while until 7 pm, to pack and mark. I am already shuddering at the thought of the week's worth of homework to mark, especially those students with bad handwriting and those correction kings T.T Somehow, I got a feeling that I will be the one with those children T.T

And now, even Assunta is quarantined. So near, and yet so not far!!! T.T


Random pissing: Annoying rich people who gets to travel around during school holiday and bringing back all these diseases!

Busy earning money, for what? When I did not spend any of them except for treating my parents when we eat good food out. I do not even go out for a movie! Well, the bus is troublesome, and I am not driving and even if someone drives, the parking, the jam...

At least I get paid more per hour compared to last time :)

So I thought to myself that I should work harder. And I am. At least, I try to mark more and bear with the back pain ;p and try not the get angry during peak hours where I tried to get the students to leave asap but their seats are quickly occupied with the newcomers while the rest of the other students (sitting with other teachers) did not even bulge. If you get the meaning of that chunk, it means I work double during peak hour for sending students home too early.

The most annoying thing is that I seem to have developed some kind of funny allergy to god-knows-what at home. And it always happen during this time of the year. I mean it happened last year during the break and now my hands and feet are itching like nobody's business that it even disturbed my sleep at night! It is so annoying, I changed soap and it is still itching. Suspecting that it is the dog, so I am not touching the dog anymore. Now my palm is flaky and bumpy.

As much as life at home sucketh, I think I would still rather stay at home than starting a new semester. Cuz a new semester means more work, same room, same heat, same flight of stairs, same kind of people, same jail and you get the idea.
