Sakit Kepala...

Entah mengapa macam ini =/

My bro came back. We are going to make our International Passport so that we can attend his wedding in Singapore. So.. went to Jabatan Imigresen. I tell you.. those people there... sakit kepala betul...

So, my dad went earlier when I was in school. So him and my bro made applied for it first, and took home a form for me. He signed it at the pengakuan ibu-bapa/penjaga ( I AM FREAKING UNDER 18 OKAYYY???? ) , then asked my bro to bring me there to make for myself. So i filled the form, took photos... bla bla bla..

Came to this counter. One fellow sat behind there. I passed him the form, he looked through two or three times. Then he looked at me.

"Bapa ada datang?" he asked.
"Tak."
"Mak ada datang?" he asked.
"Tak."

Then my bro came to the counter.

"Abang boleh?" my bro asked.
"Tak boleh." he said.
"Passport tak boleh buat. Kena tandatangan ibu atau bapa di sini *points at some never-before noticed corner of the form*"

So.. wtf =/ phoned my father. Waited 15 minutes. Then my dad signed it and I went to the counter again. This time, he looked through it two or three times again. Then, he looked at me.

"Passport tak boleh buat."
"Kenapa??"
"Kena ada photostat IC bapa dan IC original bapa."

Luckily, my dad was there. We went to photostat his IC, then went again to the counter.

This time, he looked through it another two or three times. Then, he looked at me.

"Passport tak boleh buat."
"*WTF* KENAPA??"
"Kena ada surat beranak."

FUCK LAR! CAN'T HE TELL IT TO ME ALL IN ONE GO?????

My dad went home to search for it. My bro got pissed off, he said apply for passport another day.

In the end, my surat beranak appears to be missing =/

Banyak sakit kepala..
Here's an interesting story by the way..

An ant hurried to find the other animals. It took him long, but in the end he did it.

"Guys, God created a new species to join us!!" the ant announced and pointed at the man.

The lion, the king went over to inspect. He tried to fake a pounce, but the man could not avoid any of the sudden attacks.

"Feeble reflexes. An unworthy creature." the lion said.

Then, the armadillo went to inspect the man. He hit the man a couple of times.

"Weak defense. An unworthy creature." the armadillo said.

The dog went over, and asked the man to identify different smells. But the man couldn't tell, all he could say was 'smelly' or 'smells nice'.

"Weak sense of smell. An unworthy creature." the dog said.

The elephant went over and inspected the human.

"Small and weak. An unworthy creature." the elephant said.

One by one the animals inspected the human. And all found him to be an unworthy creature in every instances. Finally, the ant went over.

"He is lazy, unlike us ants. We toil non stop, he lazes around non stop. An unworthy creature indeed." the ant said.

The lion turned to the human.

"You are imperfect in every sense. You do not belong here. Begone!"

So the human left. A few days later, the man came back with many guns and friends with him.

The lion was shot dead before he could even notice the humans. The armadillo curled up, but was pried open and shot dead. The dog tried to run, but who could outrun a bullet? The Elephant was angry, but what can an elephant do with so many rifles pointed at him and firing rapidly? The Elephant too fell. One by one, the animals were massacred.

Finally, the man found the ant. He grabbed the small ant with his two fingers, squished it and then stomped it several times. The man left feeling good.

The moral of the story is : You don't have to be perfect in anything to be a perfect Asshole. =P

My Essay for Mid Year Exam..

Before I begin, let me describe how this essay came to be.

I sat down at my place in class at 7.55am., feeling confident enough to take on the English paper one. I was certain I could reach my mark of 42/50 at least for the continuous writing.

At 8.00am, One hour and forty five minutes, it began.

When I finished my directed writing, I checked the watch.

WTFFFF?????9.10am????? SHIT ASS! 35 minutes left for continuous writing!

Without a second thought, I grabbed the question closest to me, question 5 ( lol, question 5 is at the bottom of the question paper, closest to me literally ) and started writing without even thinking. The title was simple, one word only ; "Books"

So I started introducing what was books. Then I wanted to say how important it is. Then, I thought to mention what it is used for and why is it important. So I began writing about the importance of reading. Then I went like 'WTF? Am i off topic again?' steer back to the roles of books. Then thought of how books can help improve language. Began writing about importance of reading again. Then I went like 'WTF? Am i off topic again?' steer back again. Then thought of my text book, and wrote about books in education. Then suddenly thought of 'Playboy' magazine ( don't ask me why, I don't know ) and I was like 'wtf lar, include everything only-lar..' then felt pissed off and ended it with a conclusion.

Checked the time. 9.25am. Wtf. I slumped down and died there. I produced a 3-and-a-half-page essay in 15 minutes. 20 minutes to go, and I just died there. I was like.. 'wtf, I would be happy if I can get 30 for this essay'. And then I died.

Enough said, this is the essay.

Books

In today's world, books come in many different forms and categories. We have magazines, comics, text books, novels and so forth. In the ancient human civilizations, people began writing on slabs of stone to store important information, or simply as messages. Then came the Chinese and Egyptians who invented paper, and later on these papers were put together to form a book. The uses of a book is simple, it simply functions as a vessel to store information or messages.

Because it is used to store information, we can say that books are actually tomes of valuable knowledge. Researchers, philosophers, professors and scientists for example put their findings and thoughts in books that they may refer to should any doubt come along. Philosophers like Plato wrote a great deal about his teacher, Socrates. Without Plato's writings, we would still be wondering how we got to today as these philosophers greatly influenced the progress of humanity.

Of course, books are tools for humans. Some humans are corrupt, and use these tools to spread their corruption. Although reading is encouraged, we must first ensure that what we read is healthy and not detrimental to our state of mind. While books can store valuable data, it can also give us misleading information. Therefore, we must be able to think and evaluate what we have read.

It is precisely this ability to think and analyze that people are encouraged to read books. It offers knowledge and serves to broaded a person's mind. For example, have you read the book "Sophie's World" by Jostein Gaardner? It revolves around the history of human philosophy. By reading such books, readers can be amazed by the achievements of people some time ago and probably even formulate their own thoughts and opinions. Books can therefore be declared a kind of communication method between the writer and the reader.

Other than that, books also play a major role in human life since ages long past. For example, I am sure you have heard of "Sun Tzu's Art of War". It is mainly about strategies in warfare and battles that can lead to victory and vanquishing your foes. Sun Tzu wrote all his stratagems and compiled what is simply one of the most famous and well known book even until now. In today's world, the information from that particular book is still used except that it is applied in the business 'war' instead of open warfare.

Even back to the time where one of the main religions of today, that is Islam, books played their role as well. The first order from Allah to Prophet Muhammad was for all followers to read. And as time progressed, devout Muslims gathered Prophet Muhammad's teachings and thus the holy book of Islam, the Qur'an was born. In Christianity, it is also the same thing. We have the Bible, a book entirely about the religion and teachings of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Without these books, religions would be a chaotic issue as people could not refer to the past teachings of these great pioneers.

Besides being a source of information that can be vital for humans, books also have their values, for example, in languages. By reading books, our human brain works to comprehend what we read. This indirectly strenghens our mastery of a particular language. In this case, Malaysians are said to possess a low standard of English language mastery in general. Many had debated about this topic, and one of the most used reasons is because the books are not widely opened and read. According to statistics, an average Malaysian reads two pages from a book in a year. Therefore is it not true that if a person reads twenty books in a year compared to two pages, his language mastery is better?

It is an undeniable fact that a person can get very resouceful if he or she reads all the time. Some people shy away from books because they find it boring. Like it or not, they can not escape the influence books have on our lives. Our education system uses text books and reference books which students have to pore through them over and over again to completely digest what they are being taught. Therefore, we can say that books are among the many factors of what shapes a person and determines their future in the social world.

In fact, the power of books is so great that it can trigger worldwide interest. Two very interesting examples would be the recent 'Playboy' magazine published in Indonesia and the author Dan Brown's famous 'The Da Vinci Code'. The 'Playboy' magazie has triggered a nationwide protest by the natives because it contains explicit materials. Now, if books were not viewed that importantly, who would even care what they are in it? The same goes for the much acclaimed "The Da Vinci Code' which received much accolades and as much put-downs.

In the progressng world, books are slowly being replaced by technology, In a couple of decades or centuries, inventions such as the Internet will totally replace books. While that might happen, just know that whatever happens, books had played its role for humanity and will continue to do so for a long time more. Therefore, tarry no more! Grab a book of a genre you like and start reading and flipping through the pages to fully receive and utilize the benefits they bring!

Professionalism Chapter III

Professionalism again! First chapter was about barbers in my friendster blog, second was about dentists in this blog ( find it in the archives somewhere.. ) and now the third chapter shall be about.. doctors.

*backtrack backtrack..*

My bro came back from Singapore today! But somehow, ever since he has that fiancee of his, things are not the same anymore. My brother has changed, maybe because he will be getting married soon. But still, I don't like it. He reached Batu Pahat at 2 o clock. But he only visited my parents after he fetched me at 7.30pm. My dad was super pissed off. Because the first thing my bro and his fiancee did upon arrival was checking in the hotel and spending the entire day at Summit, the only half decent shopping complex here. Wtf man.. Somemore my bro actually converted to Christian because she is the only Christian in her Buddhist family. Go figure.

Anyway, my brother asked me how was my trip to Endau-Rompin.

Bro : How was your trip to the jungle?
Me : Ok lor.. very nice :)
Bro : Got see any tiger tracks?
Me : Ya, really got ler! We saw and took photos!
She : Have you considered that it is possible those people there made casts of tiger paw prints and made tracks around.. so that tourists come here and think they really saw tiger prints? Of course lar.. its for tourism what.. Do you think its possible? *nudge my brother*
Bro : maaayyybeeee...

Got me so pissed off. WHAT KIND OF SUGGESTION IS THAT? Seriously man.. how could she suggest such a thing? I mean, Ok lar, you have never been to the wilds before. Such an accusation is baseless, and furthermore, WHO THE FUCK HAS SO MUCH TIME TO DO SUCH A STUPID THING?

Anyway, back to the main topic. Yes, I am sick. Sick as in, having a fever with sore throat, extreme runny nose, cough, sleepiness, tiredness, very angry and pissed off. Right, normal syndromes for a normal fever. Anyway, because my father was too lazy to fetch me to the family doctor, we went to the nearest ( nearest as in, nearest to the restaurant we were eating at ) clinic. Clinic King.

I was like, WAHOWA. King syoot. Royal clinic.

Turned out the doctor was a woman with the surname King. wtf.

So I went in, registered and sat down alone. My parents and bro went to the nearby clock shop to buy clocks for his new house in Singapore. I got number 45, and the current number was 42. And I waited half an hour. Seriously..

With nothing to do, I just sat down and tried to notice everything while hoping time will fly by. And you know what I found out? Inside the entire clinic, there were only women and children, no penguins. So I was like, Shit ass, don't tell me this is a gynaeologist? Or a pediatrician? Am I in the wrong clinic...?

I went outside and read the words at the door. Serious spelling errors.

"Gynelogy. Kidary diseases. Medical Check up. Gall Bladders. Pediatrics..."

Well, at least there's that medical check up. But still, you know lar.. being the only guy there.. of course i feel uneasy lar!

So when my turn finally came ( at last! ) I went in, and the first thing that doctor asked me was..

Doctor :"What is your chinese name?"

Shit.

"Huang Wee Ming" I told her.

Doctor :"How do you write it?"

FUCK.

"I don't know. I never learned Chinese."

Doctor :*scribbles something* Is it this "Wee"? ( Chinese words )

Without looking at it, I said yes. Then, she asked me how to write my 'Ming'.

"I don't know."

She gave me the wtf look. I gave her the wtf look. Then we both felt like wtf.

So I sat down and she began the general diagnosis.

"Whats your prob?"
"fever"
*type type in computer*
"Sore throat got or not?"
"yes"
*type type in computer*
"Cough?"
"yes"
*type type in computer*
"Runny nose?"
"yes"
*type type in computer*
"You everything also got ar?"
"yes"
*type type in computer*

Then she checked my temperature ( 37.3, slight fever ), used the stethoscope on me. Bla bla, biasa lar.. normal sickness.

Then right, she turned and there was like.. 35-+ containers behind her. Wtf? So she took one, took out a big tablet and showed it to me.

"Quite big. Can swallow?"
"Can.. but.. swallow now ar?"
"Not now lar!"

She filled a strange looking round machine with the antibiotics capsules. And its those kind of strange machines you know.. with small compartments, one compartment for one dose of medicine.

She filled it with 7-8 kinds of medicines. WTF???

As she was filling them, she turned and showed me a square shaped little tablet.

"This one will make you sleepy. Eat it only at night. So if you want to do homework, or watch World Cup, don't eat this."

Then she on the contraption, it turned.. and a strip of small plastic bags began rotating below the turning compartments. Each dose of medicine fell into a plastic bag of its own, until the entire strip of around 8-10 small plastic bags all held medicine and were sealed tight. First time I see such kind of medicine-prescriber. High tech syott. I still prefer the traditional seal-by-pressing small plastic bags.

"RM27. Thank you" She said. I took out my wallet, thinking.. *Wtf, no wonder she only has one clerk in front and the least number of patients compared to the other clinics along this road. She does everything herself!*

"Pay outside. Thank you"
"..."

Note : All the conversation above was in chinese and directly translated.
Note : I will never go to that clinic again. So freaking embarassing.
Note : Everyone should go at least once lol. Then you will know.
Note : Doctor King is a Taiwan-trained doctor. Probably she is a Taiwanese herself, considering her surname is King.
Note : I left the clinic with the medicine given. But I don't know which tablet is for which symptom. So.. WTF!
