Non-stop raining last few days. SS3 now dengue heaven, dem lotsa mosquitoes. Every other day will have truck come and flood our place with malathion, still mosquitoes come back in legions.
Nearly finished Warcraft 3, but chickened out at last nigth elf level. I think this is some kinda bad habit, what with me always chickening out b4 completing something, must be sum Freudian thingy.
Yesterday came down with a bad case of food poisoning, went to doc at 4am after couldnt sleep whole nite, rolled around in bed with every wave of pain, and rushin to toilet every 30 minutes. Goddamned doc charged me RM45 for medications (PCM, buscopan, lomotil and antibiotics which i dont know why he prescribed for a likely viral AGE, he kept insisting it was bacterial). I mean, hey, we're fellow docs, why the high charge (supposed to be even free of charge)? I once went to a private dermatologist and he charged me only RM30. He waived the specialist fee (for him it was RM75) and charged me for the medications only, which included some high tech demato meds which i cant remember now (some kinda alternative to steroids). But here's an ordinary GP who's treating me for a simple AGE and charging a fellow doctor RM45! Didnt read ur Hippocratic Oath eh...
I once heard a doctor said "Doctors are the worst patients." Haha, mebe there is some truth to it! I also once met an MO who was warded, insisted on 1st class room (thats with the air-cond) and only allowed MOs to poke him wit needles. He kept questioning the houseman, and tried to discuss his disease with the rounding specialist with an "airy" tone. Once out of the room, the rounding docs and nurses kept bad-mouthing him, haha...
Now still enjoyin holidays, kinda rotting at home. Once in awhile go out to exercise, if not, will be in front of new computer playing Fallout 3. Yeah, after waiting since 2000 when Fallout 2 was at its peak, playing Fallout 3 was really nostalgic. Now it comes with beautiful violence and bloodshed cranked up to full 3D spectacularity! I usually play 2 hours into the game b4 the computer overheats and crashes.
Tried to read Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time. Supposed to be for layman, but so much of high-tech physics inside that I kinda got lost with every paragraph, and went skipping to the next in hopes of understanding what his trying to say. Just now read that the Universe is ever expanding, and how (in theory) that if u walked until the end of the Universe u'll come back to the starting point where u left. Also time runs slower when near a huge mass (like Earth), so two twins separated at birth, one put in a spaceship while the other stays on Earth, the one up there in space will age faster. Hmmm, so much physics, dem good way to kill time...
