Of Filial Piety & Polyclinics

hello public,

a gazillion apologies for such a terribly delayed journal entry. truth is, i've been ultra beezy with work these days. and work usually ends late and by then i'd jus be too tired to blog. i do log in to check out my hug meter and to see whether there is any comments.

my previous post asked if anyone of you would like ur blog adress to be under my "Links'' to be placed at my blog sidebar. apparently, none wanted so i've decided to abolish the thought.

alright. where did we left of? my last proper entry was on a thursday. well, needless to say nothing much happened. on thursday morning ard 12am. horsey sms-ed me saying that she's at ministry of sound, (which isnt any part of the parliament by the way) and that she met xiaxue. omigosh!! xiaxue is like the queen of blogging. its like who doesnt know of xiaxue right? anyway, another fren of mine, marie, saw her there too. cool huh? well, both of them has this one same comment about her. xiaxue is short. she was even shorter than marie who is already quite short. haha.

well, thursday, friday, saturday and sunday were days busy with work. for those wondering where i'm working,yeah, i'm still working at Gold Vagina. its almost a year now. its fun working there. the pay does suck of course but it u like it there, the pay is only second matter.

then monday was the business strategy game competition. i couldnt make it for the competition cause my mum wasnt feeling too well so i had to bring her to the doctor. it was either i go to school and get a certificate for being part of the competition or i be a nice son and bring my mum to the clinic. i love my mum more. my mum insisted that we went to the polyclinic though. i hate the polyclinic. and my trip there made me dread it even more.

first, u go get ur number, by queueing up at the regstration where u passed them ur identity card. then u wait for ur number to appear on the screen by sitting in the waiting area where you're surrounded by more sick people coughing in ur face. i should have brought a disinfectant mind you. that place was just reeking of germs. i tell u, if u're fine and healthy and u just sit in the waiting area, u might jus contract some of those contagious diseases like stroke or heart disease or smthing. i swear my blood pressure could have soared if i sat there any longer.

so i went to the counter, asked them how long i've to wait, and the person gave me a smirk and said 'at LEAST half and hour'. well well, went to walk ard outside with my mum and came back in half an hour. only to find that there's still a long long way to go. so we jus sat there. waited and waited. half and hour later, our number popped up and i was as esctatic as an uncle at yantze cinema. i thought it was finally our turn to see the doctor.

but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

we went to the front counter where this personed my mum why she wanted to see doctor and whether she had any preference for which ever doctor. then they told us to go to the next room to wait for our number to be called. another one hour plus of waiting this time. my mum even made a few frens while waiting. she was like talking indian lady who was siting next to us. so while they chatted. i jus sat there deleting messages from my inbox one by one. then, it was our turn to see the doctor after one hour of waiting. then doctor asked her to get a blood test.

another wait. at least this one was short, 10minutes. then got the blood test done, then was told to wait for the results. while waiting, i was watching this tv where they showed how to check for collectorectal cancer. they was a picture of piece of shit and u have to use a poker thingy to poke to shit at 6 different places. put the poker back into the bottle and shake. then send it to the doctor. hmmm.

half and hour later, the results came and told us to visit the doctor we saw jus now, waited for like 5minutes this time. then the doctor did some analysis of the blood test. my mum's okay. except for a slight high in cholestrol level. doctor told her to exercise and eat less fried food. eat more boiled food. and there i was thinking to myself, uh oh!!!

so then, we had to queue to make payment. well well, in total the entire polyclinic experience took 3hours 15minutes. with only 15minutes was when we saw the doctor. the other 3hours was purely waiting time. omigod!!!

well, at least it was cheap. freaking cheap. no wonder ppl still wait 3 hours jus to get their medicine. well, in my case, if i was really sick, by the time i saw a doctor, i would have already died. i'd prefer my private doctor anytime.

ps: congrats to my BD teammates for scoring third place in the business strategy competition.

thats it for now, gotta get ready to go to work soon. toodles.
