Tim Kai, Tim Kai - Part 2.

A nurse came and told me, that i can go to the ward. I was really sad, blur, and shocked with what's happening. I really don't know what is happening. So my dad and i followed her to the ward. It was on the 8Th floor. I went there, and saw many people lying on the bed, i don't know what sickness they are having. So i went to this corner and sat there. Nurse over there arguing about Dengue patient (which is me) being transferred to that ward. Apparently it was Tibi, and other sickness ward. The Dengue ward is already full of people. After taking my blood again, this guy (don't know wheater he's a doctor or nurse) asked me some questions. Later he told me "kat sini ambik darah 4 kali, hahahaha. Jangan kata saya tak bagitau". Later one nurse came, and told me to go to my bed. So i followed, and then came to this bed. It's actually like twin bed. Next to me was an old man. You know how some bed, where they have another one down there? It's the same, it's higher than those normal ones.

I changed place to in front, because this old man looks scary, besides the front there, the bed is just down the tv, so easy accesslah. The bed is still the same, the down one. But the guy sleeping next to me, looks ok. He's alive and sitting on his bed. My dad asked him, what's his problem? He said he has "paru paru bernanah". It means his lungs is filled with pus. He's been there, for 29 days already. I don't want to tell you guys, how they removed those pus away, fearing you guys will vomit in front of your monitors.

It was all ok, till my dad left. I can feel loneliness, and fear creeping on top of me, like shadow of darkness. I'm all alone, in a place fill with strangers, in a foreign place. That night i didn't eat anything, because i didn't had any appetite. I went to the toilet, and it was in horrible condition, some toilet had no flush, some the doors too tight, some has you-know-what-in-it, some has no hook, to hook up Sodium Chloride bottle. I learnt to use the toilet with one hand. It was hard, but it can be done. At 12 am, this guy came and took blood from my hand. So i watch the tv till 2 am, until one nurse came and off it. I didn't manage to sleep, because of my "bedmate" and "roomate" kept on snoring. Funny machines kept on going in and coming out. I was really afraid that night, didn't slept well. At 5 am, the same guy came and took my blood again.

For breakfast, i had this round bun, which had "Hak Kerajaan" sticker on it, and Milo. I went to toilet later, and saw this small room, where some critical looking patients in it. They all look unconscious, and had funny things plugged into them. I felt cold shiver for a while. The day was Sunday, I'm expecting visit from my dad, and church friends. I waited till 1pm, but my dad couldn't be seen. I started to worry, and felt very sad. No one is here, the rest of the patients, their family members are there with them. Then i saw far away, at the entrance of another ward, i saw my dad going there. So i quickly grabbed my Sodium Chloride, and chased him. I was thrilled to saw him. Later went back to my ward, and talked to him. It felt really nice to see him there. He told me, my brother told, that my church friends, wont be visiting me. I felt really sad. Then my dad's friend came, so i left him with them. He went down. As i was lying watching Asoka, the indian version, i saw someone with a familiar face, i sit up, and saw my church people. I was kinda shocked. The joy i felt was indescribable. I was speechless. I was really happy to see them, that they willing to visit me, at a far place. So i had some chit chat with them.

A nurse came, and told me that i'll need to be moved to the Dengue ward. I hesitated at first. I didn't know how the place looks like, what kind of people are over there. But i decided I'll give it a try, i just hoped it will be better than this horrible place i was at. It turns to be pretty good, i'll say. At last i got my very own bed, with no any one sleeping next/down/below me. I got my own table, to put my stuffs on it. There's air cond in this room, fan also. It looks clean, and much more modern looking. There's toilets and bathrooms!! Which is quite clean by the way. My dad accompany me till some time, and he too went back. That night, i felt really lonely. My mp3 player has no battery on it, and the tv was in front. I want to sleep and watch the tv, but couldn't, because it was kinda far away.

Monday was pretty horrible day, too for me. No one came to visit me. I really felt loneliness. I felt how hospital patients felt. It was torturing. I just hoped my dad would come and visit me, but he's sick and was working. He got sick because he went back in rain from the hospital on Sunday. Basically in the new ward, i don't eat their lunch or dinner. Only breakfast only. Others i'll eat from outside. Most of the time, i'll just lie on the bed, sit, look outside, look at the clock, ask the doctors the same question "when can i go back"?, and just think a lot. I still remember, on morning the doctor came. I asked him "doctor, when can i go back?". He said "most probably today or tomorrow. We'll have to see if you have fever or not.". At morning my body temperature was ok. In the afternoon, it went up. It stayed up till at night. At night, i was kinda mad, i kept on thinking, why i couldn't go back. I had to do something. I NEED to do something. I set my heart on going back, the next day. So after proper thinking and planning. I came with an escape plan.

My Plan
* Drink 2 cups of water, every 30 minutes.
* Go toilet every 30 minutes.

Objective
*Try to consume as much as water as possible.
*To reduce my body temperature, as in fever.

It may looked like a simple plan, but NO. It's hard. Because i was committed at that time. I forced myself to drink every drop of water, and go to toilet. It wasn't easy, and i didn't knew if it worked or not. I prayed too. At 11pm, i stopped, Oh! i started at 7pm, by the way. I dint know if i made it, i just know i did my very best. At 12:30 they came and took my blood again. I just hope, there's some difference in the blood count. At morning the same doctor came, and told me, that i can go back, at 12:30pm. I was so so so happy. I wanted to celebrate it. Hehehe. Thanks to God, for helping me out. So my dad came, and we went back. Didn't have to pay any single cent. It's free wei.

Overall i think the Dengue ward, is ok. Very friendly nurse. I just don't like the foods, the doctors, kept on changing, the time of blood taking, and the amount of blood taking (4 times a day). I did learned a lot during this 7 days. I learn about importance, of family, friendship, understanding sick people, how it feels like staying in hospital, and how important it is to take care of your body.

Valentine's Day

So what happened during Valentine's Day, yesterday?

I was driving to buy my lunch, at that time, i was listening to Hitz. FM. Natalie was reading a poem, written by some dude to his girlfriend. Then she asked him to read the last poem. So he read it "bla bla, and bla. . . (then he slowed down, and the last lines were . . .) Will You Marry Me?" She on the other line, was kinda shocked (or acting like she's in shock). This MIGHT be sweet and so on, but there's other ways of doing this, instead through the phones. Like how many restaurants, last night, people (men) getting down on their knees, and asking their partners to marry them.

Then i came back home, and was watching George Lopez. In this episode, George's friend (dont know what's his name. . . So we just call him "Beans".) Beans, wants to get married. The thing is, his fiance has no time to meet up with George's wife, Angie who is the wedding planner. On the wedding day, the bride have not arrived yet. Then Angie got worried, and her dad came. She was shocked to see him there, and asked him why is he there. He replied "to walk you down the isle". And she got shocked, realised all this time, it wasnt the wedding for Beans, but it's remarriage between she and her husband.

Later on i watched The Cosby Show. In the end of one of the episodes, Cosby and his wife was about to sleep. When he said to her, he couldnt sleep. She put his head on her chest, and while rubbing his head, she sang a Christian song. He's went asleep just in a while.

Anyway, i didnt mange to get any date, hahaha. Just eat burger ramly and see movie. Yes, just that. :)

Happy Valentine's Day :)

Hi, as the title mentions, Happy Valentine's Day to all my readers. I cant do any banners, because Photoshop still not working. This year's Valentine's no different, from previous years. No one to go out with, wow! 20 year old, and still haven't gotten any dates. On the bright side, i don't have to buy flowers, or eat at fancy restaurants, hahaha. As for me, i prefer to plant my own flower, and give it to her. Anyhow, i'll try next year, or the year after that, or the year after that year, or . . . you get the idea. Anyway, i only wish one person Happy Valentine's Day, it was to Beans. For those who dont know, Beans is my friend, a dude. Wakaka.

Here's a poem, i write down. I didnt write down, thinking of anyone. No one was in my mind when i wrote it down. I know, it doesnt rhyme very well, i'm just a noob in this poem thing, do correct me if im wrong.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
On this Valentine's
Would you be my boo

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Love is so great,
When I'm with you

Sweet as honey dew
Beautiful as sea's view
if only that you knew
that i love you

OKLAH! i shalt stop here. Cant go on more. No gift in poemings. Anyway, enjoy your Valentine's guys. ;)

I was debating with a friend of mine, one how most families in Alam Megah rarely goes out to eat as family. I always eat my lunch and dinners outside of the house. So i go to many restaurants, Chinese, Malay, and Indian. Once in a while, i do go to other types of restaurants with my church members.

Based on my observation, Chinese families are the ones, who usually goes out as family, to eat dinner normally. Then followed by Malays, and then Indians. A note though, this observation isn't noted down by me, using any graphs, charts, or timetables. This is what normally i see through my eyes. For me, going out as family for lunch, or dinner is a good thing. It somewhat strengthens the family bonds, and it's a good way for families to spend time, with different atmosphere, ambiance, location, and the culture of the diner.

I was telling to my friend, that most of the time, in Chinese restaurants, most of the time, people go there either alone, or with friends. In Malay restaurant, normally it would be Malay couples, would be there. There are one of two times, people would go there with friends. As for Indian food shop, most likely colleagues, friends would go there. In Alam Megah, it's very rare to see any Chinese or Indians go to Malay Restaurant. In Chinese restaurant, Chinese and Indians would go there. Indian/Mamak Restaurants tops the chart, with the majority of races going there. Simply because of, the halal matter, pure original roti canai, and curry.

People over here, somewhat dont go out with their family that much, well some dont go out at all, and eat 24/7, 365 days at their own home. My neighbors for example, dont go out that much with family. More often, just go to their relative houses. Most of the time, they hang out with their friends at mamak, to watch football, while their wifes at home, with the children. Teens like me, who goes out with friends, too rarely spend time going out with family as well. In my case, my dad don't like to go out and eat outside food. I on the other hand, want to spend my time with my friends.

I was watching MARTHA, few weeks ago, went Martha Steward said the use of BlackBerry at restaurants and cafes are disrupting family lunch/dinner. Less communication between family members.

My final words is, that eating lunch/dinner at home is something good, and should be done often. At times it's best if it's being done outside. What's the problem spending few Ringgits on much higher level restaurants, than the usual restaurants we go to.

My Friends

Last night i was browsing through Friendster, just searching for any lost friends. I came to one profile, my friend's one. This friend, i happen to know him since Standard 1, 13 years ago. I remember, i used to hang out with him those day, used to lepak with him, eat with him during recess times. Standard 3, there was a reformation. The school we were studying that time, was a Secondary school, so, the gamen built a new school, just for primary students. So i was transfered to the school near my home, while some of my other friends, had been transfered to schools near their home. I remember when i was Form one, and i met him. He was Form 2 by then, he "jumped" from Standard 3, to Standard 5 straight.

When i met him, he was different, you know all show off, act as if he doesnt knows you. He knows my name, but he didn't even asked how was i doing, how things went after Standard 3. Anyway, as i was saying, i saw his Friendster profile, and i saw there, its written He studying in Tailor's College. I'm not surprised knowing him studying there, he dad is rich, and he's the only child. He managed to have a car when he was 18, i did too, but my car is second hand, and he's is brand new. I look at the clothings, and the suit he was wearing, wow! All elegant, For you information, he's body is huge. Anyway, good luck to him on the future.

A month ago, i was waiting for bus at a nearby bus stop. I heard someone called my name, so i look back and saw two child hood friends of mine. One is M, and another is S. I knew M since Standard 1, same class. He urine his pants once, and teacher asked me to lend him another pants. S was Standard 2 friend. I remember, people used to call him ghost. Because once he disappeared from the class, and then someone rumored he died in toilet. When he came back to class during recess, the class people ran at the back of the class, and screamed, hantu!. These stories is true, im not making up. Anyway, both of them going inside this Inova or was it Avanza. But it's a Toyota, and smiling at me. Most probably they think i don't have a car, and still using the bus. So i asked them, where they studying and who's car was that, S said it was M's car. I was surprised, and not surprise to hear that. M is still a student, same age with me, college student, but why do you buy a Inova/Avanza for college driving? M's dad is rich by the way, He used to stay my housing area, till one day his family moved to one of the Double Story housing near my place. His dad used to drive lorry, now i don't knowlah. They quickly close the doors and went off, maybe they scared I'll later asked them for a ride.

Not only them, there were others, about 4-5, or even 7 guys i know off, studying in well known colleges, and universities. Most famous spot, is LimKokWing and Tailor's. Most of them, their parents are rich. The thing i dont like them studying there is. They don't deserve to study there. During class times, how many of them wouldn't do their homeworks, and always cause problems in school. Even my SPM results are way better than most of them, but still, they manage to go to these type of places to study. It's not wrong to study there, but what's the point of spending thousands, just for the name of the place. There's this person who goes by the name of V. I asked V where he was studying. He said at LimKokWing, so i asked, "isnt that place kinda expensive". He replied "ok onlylah". Sometimes i feel with the money they spent wasting just like that, it should be given to poor people to extent their education. At least, they wont spent it just like that, just for the sake of name. Studying at LimKokWing and Tailor's is not something wrong, they have the best resources and expertise to teach students, but it's also waste if you go there just for the name, and fame you going to get.

As for me, i know my dad cant afford all this, and i don't blame him, for it. I'm quite thankful, sometimes i cant afford all this. For i might forget myself if i ever go into this kinda places. I think studying in this type of places, is not for me, so i have resulted to find a job. As least, i don't owe and bank money, when i get my pay.
