Been exactly 6 months since I last saw him in person.
Nothing will always be perfect and all right...
but I hope he's doing fine.
While...
I will be smiling, far far away.

Hello, Sunday.

Now it has been several days since I left Sunway back to hometown Seremban, that was since Tuesday. Been hit with a viral fever apparently. When I was told this, what came into my mind? Anyone can think of H1N1. I guess all sorts of viruses came into my head and I thought, these are what I learnt before... now they were in my body??

Tuesday: I had taken all Panadol and Kool Fever, the temperature was still quite high I guess although I had no thermometer but I could feel it. Had a headache again. Lay in bed the whole morning, thinking that I was going to go to clinic with Syaa, but plans changed. Really feel like passing out. My dad came in the afternoon later, bought me McDonald's bubur ayam and Milo panas from the Drive Thru for me who had not eaten.
To the government hospital, fearing the H1N1. Oh no! I thought, not this place or anything like it again. The last time I was at a government clinic, I was treated rudely by a nurse and even saw another primary school kid got scolded unnecessarily.
My dad picked me up, and brought me straight to Hospital Besar Seremban. Then what? Man with mask at the emergency counter told me, you can go check your fever at the government clinic instead. I do not understand why these people are putting us through all this hassle; if I am already at the hospital, why send me to a clinic? I mean it's a good thing my dad was there, but what if I didn't come with my own vehicle? How would I go there suddenly? If I am already here, check me already!

To the government clinic. Many people, and I didn't know where to begin. No guide or anything is it? I saw peoplefilling in yellow form (card actually) so I did the same. Put the card with a number given at the counter, and waited for my turn. Waited. and WaITed. and WAITED. Who knew how long really? I fell asleep. Dad woke me up - I already missed my number so went straight to the counter. Off to another room, room 12 for taking temperature. Then, wait again to go to doctor's room number 1. Waited. and WaITed. and WAITED. Slept again, hearing all number being called out. Most significantly satu, sembilan, sembilan, sembilan - aish, sembilan is such a long word! I guess I am getting irritated of waiting that day that I am tired of hearing numbers being called out so much but fails to hear my number. 1033. An older woman suddenly asked me what my number is, waking me up. She complained that the current number has surpassed her own number. Common.... the clinic always jumps numbers from like, 10 to 50 then back to 30 etc. Seconds later, my number was called out when I was gonna go back to sleep on the chair among that many people.
In the room 1 of government clinic. Doctor, nurse and some others. "Dik, apsal lambat masuk?" HUH!!!! Sape yang lambat sekarang ni? Baru masuk lambat 5 saat dah bising, aku dah tunggu berape jam dah ni tibe-tibe nak marah aku plak. My headache wouldn't permit me to get back at them or else I probably would say something back. In the end I was asked to return in another 2 days to get blood check if I still wasn't well after doc prescribed me the medicine. Out of the room, walking to the pharmacy, I realised there was no MC. EH! Aren't they supposed to give me? Dad told me to return. Hmmm...... whattaheck. At the very least doctors should have asked patients whether I needed one, but I was never asked at all and did not remember to ask since I was still having a headache.
In room 1 again, saya nak mintak MC... the doctor scolded me again. APSAL tadi tak mintak? Lerr... cik doktor, bukan ke tugas anda untuk memberikan saye MC? Ni tanye pun tidak... aku tengah saket kepale lak tu... tak considerate langsung ke... aku plak kene marah lagi. Bagi MC pun patient kene mintak, cam kedekut mc, sehari je plak tu.

Moral of the story: Government is slow, government is rude. Most of all, I cannot tolerate being rude.

Talking from experience anyway, not that I purposely wanna hate government staff.

Therefore I, being unwell still the next day, I went to Seremban Specialist Hospital. Another wait to see my Dr. Marina, but at least this was well worth it. A kind doc, talks nicely to patients, does her job well, you don't need to ask for MC she asks you! This time I got another three-day MC. Yeah well not to stress out on that, but what kind of doctor can't do a simple thing anyway? Government or private, I believe all doctors and nurses should treat patients well. So maybe we had to pay for private more, less for government, does that mean worse treatment from government staff?

Ehem. In this case, apparently YES.

Oh well, nevermind. Let's hope I can avoid government places if I could unless the service becomes much better. (I still had to go to government hospitals at least once to twice a year...)

Now, I had a lot of work to do, after a four-day mc.

Yesterday was an unlikely day.

Rather, it began with an 8-o'clock class that I missed, the only class that there was that day. Okay, so that means it didn't begin there. But it actually began when I went to have my lunch at our usual place - Restoran Hasra - the nearest restaurant to where I am currently living in Sunway. Anis, Aquila and I all went there for lunch...

Then lunch ended. Ouh, okay so nothing happened during lunch itself. Out there right in front of where we all were still seated in the restaurant, we saw this car. It was Qla aka Aquila who noticed it first actually. These girls always notice things that I never could see. Fly FM was there in front of side gate of Sunway University College.

I didn't think we were going to, but we did. Qla rushed out straight after we left the restaurant, to the guy at the car. Who? Dunno. Even all this while, I have often listened to the radio without really knowing who the DJs really are. Maybe back then, I knew. Not anymore, only music matters these days on radio. and of course, ads just make my listening pleasure worse.

Back to the story, there we were, actually aiming for FREEBIES. So there were Maybelline stuff right there, and the guys were just basically looking for female people to take their freebies. Can I really call it my luck? HmmMMm... so there's this form we had to fill and return to the Sunway College itself. We took a goody bag (spelling?) each person, with 2 Maybelline stuff inside. Come to think of it, this must have worth at least RM50 per person.

OH. We thought it would just be a give-the-form-and-leave kind of a thing. But then again, it was the do-makeover-and-give-the-form-then-pose-a-picture-to-be-taken kind of a thing. Get that? We had to do a makeover on the spot, right there in our current clothes, then take a picture that will be entered into a contest. Simply Fabulous? Hmm. Dear, honestly that was the first official time I ever wore real make-up in my life. I hesitated, but thinking that I got the free stuff... I had to finish up the work anyways! But basically we were there just for fun. It was free, after all.

In the end, what was that glittering thing above my eyes? And they look so pink. T_T
I thought I requested blue or something as the eye shadow, but maybe the makeup artist knew better and decided to mix the two colours in. My eyes were basically trembling! We all printed our photo, they were all individual, and, what can I say? That has to be another stranger version of me posing in the picture or something, ahhh! I don't wanna look at it again. An embarrassing day for us all, but it was really funny!

And I'm definitely not gonna show no picture of it here! :P

We all got thee gift pack... and a name tag, as memories. Extra for me, I ACCIDENTALLY took FlyFM's pen and didn't return it to the guy. XD




- People called me Iffy when I was in school -

So 6 July has long ago passed, I am already 21. Apparently that date falls on such a time that birthdays are often forgettable, that this time it is again forgotten by some people in my family. Haaha.. yeah it has happened before, usually the time back then when I was still in school. Used to it in a way, but nevermind...

Birthdays? it probably just means that people grow a year older than before, to some people it basically does not really matter so much. Should it have a meaning to it? Yes, I think so. Remember people who are born on 29th February who only has this date coming in once every 4 years? They see a birthday only once in 4 years. Still, it's just the Gregorian calendar. If you take away all the date and time that people ever created for this world, time probably doesn't seem to exist although it still passes by and we grow by it. If you take it away, there will be no 356 days in a year, and people like me don't have a thing called being '21 years old'. It may seem like we all grow, simply growing. But then you do have such timing where years exist and time moves on from one year after another. Birthdates mark how old you become, then you can reflect how much you've done and changed after all these years. In short, time is important; so are birthdays. You can't simply forget it like that and think it has no meaning at all and just a date? Some people go I-do-not-care about it, which is just not right. In the end I'm pretty sure those who pretend not to care end up questioning themselves whether they should have had something better on that day.

So for your birthday, just go out and take a walk outside, buy yourself a good cup of coffee or something, if that's the least that you could do. Even going out to the society, a person should not be left alone at home wondering what he/she is doing alone and ends up being sad about it. As long as you care about yourself. Every one deserves to be happy.

Haih, what am I babbling here?

Now it is already 16 July, with many of my friends already have left this place called Monash University. Next year being my 3rd year, I am pretty sure there will be more people already gone from the course I am taking, probably off to the Gold Coast or somewhere else.

My results is gonna come out really soon. I wonder what to expect....

Supposedly before I wanted to begin every post with a quote. Guess I've changed my mind now.

Hopefully every one who has gone to Australia is doing all right now, even if you're not doing so good (there's a difference all right). Take care folks.
