Mom has been coughing for days. So, we took her to this clinic in Sungai Siput, further up from Ipoh.
She said, it would be a quick one, so she and my brother went down while dad and I waited in the car.

Firstly, the drama started when my brother came to the car to take his driving license.
My mom doesn't carry her original IC, instead, she carries along the photostated copy.

Then, we realised it was taking quite long.
My brother came to the car, asking for extra money, complaining how expensive it was - RM105.
Just for cough you know.

I damn mm kam yuen, stormed out of the car and went straight into the clinic, demanding a breakdown of the charges.
The nurse kept insisting that the total amount was RM105 and that we should pay.
So, I kept insisting I want to see the breakdown before paying.

After arguing back and forth, she roughly scribbled on piece of paper:

RM35 - Consultation Fee
RM35 - Injection
RM35 - Medicine

KNN... my mom and I were both so pissed.

First of all, he refused to accept my mom's VALID photostated IC, instead, he demanded my brother's driving license first before he could see her. I was furious when I knew about this, because it has been stated clearly in the papers that photostated IC is a valid document now. And SINCE WHEN DO YOU NEED TO SURRENDER YOUR IC / DRIVING LICENCE TO SEE A DOCTOR? THE MOST IS DURING REGISTRATION AND IT WILL BE GIVEN BACK TO YOU!

Secondly, my mom argued that since he wasn't a specialist he has no right to charge a consultation fee.

Even so, there was a list of guidelines on the consultation fees on the clinic board stating:
- Minor    RM15
- Intermediate   RM 25
- Major   RM 35 - 75
My mom was just having a cough and how could it possibly be a MAJOR consultation? Tell me what's minor then?! And fuck, tell me la... cough needs injection ah?

So, we were arguing back and forth - mom refusing to pay unless he reduced it to RM15 on the consultation fee while he refused to give us back my brother's driving license!!! KNNCCB!

So, told my dad to get a policeman over. It was only right to do so because he had no right whatsoever with-holding my brother's driving license. I rationalized this with my mom, right from the start, the blardy cibai of a doctor already planned to con us. My mom was the patient, why should he be holding my brother's driving license instead?!?

While waiting, mom went next door and asked the fellas about this doctor, and they even asked her why did she go and see him instead of the one opposite the road??? Said something about this doctor charging super expensive. There you go.

15 min later, dad came with a Malay policeman and an Indian plainscloth detective. To ease with the communication flow it seemed, since the doctor was an Indian. The Policemen went in and talked to the doctor and mom and dad joined in later. The policeman screwed some sense into him and it reached a point when the doctor said, ok he accepts the RM80.

Then you know what happened? He shouted at my mom, asking her to "GET OUT OF MY CLINIC! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE HERE ANYMORE. EARLY MORNING YOU ARE GIVING ME THIS KINDA PROBLEM!" All these infront of the policeman somemore.

My mom lagi la. SHE MELETUP! She shouted back at him saying how could he be so UNPROFESSIONAL and how could he treat a patient like that. I was observing the policeman and righto, he was nodding his head.

We got the medicine, and our RM20 change back and while walking back to our car with the policeman, we could hear the cibai doctor shouting some cibai nonsense which I couldn't comprehend. Told him, it wasn't right of him to withhold my brother's driving license and that it wasn't  the money or that we couldn't afford to pay but more of the feeling of being conned to fork out RM105 for a cough check-up while in KL, it's only half the price.

AVOID AT ALL COST

Just a short entry to let you know that I am typing this in the car while daddy is driving us all to Ipoh!
No plug points needed, just the modem and your lappie

Anyway, those who think it's cool to use the emergency lanes to speed, think again.
There was a huge commotion just now where TWO police cars came speeding behind us and stopped at the emergency lanes with a whole lane of cars being asked to stop.
Subarus, BMWs, Hondas, semua kena
So, becareful on the roads ya.

And I just woke up from a nice loooong sleep.
I LOVE SLEEPING IN THE CAR! It is probably the best feeling ever. EVER.
It's like when the car is moving, and you close your eyes to sleep, you get the rock-a-by-baby feeling.
Mr Tay said, "You small time, deprived of 'buaian'. Mommy never cradled you enough."
I think so too.
Ok, that's all for now.

MAXIS BROADBAND RAWKS LA!

NOT MINE!

Bought the red top and skirt for my Mom while browsing at Blook during lunch time just now.
I LOVE the details on the skirt!
My phone camera of below 2.0 MP just doesn't do justice to it!
Anyway, I will post up pics of her in this outfit later

I am speedi driving home later after work.
Home-cooked food for dinner later!
Kai kai with family later!
But most importantly, I have durians waiting for me later!

I just got to jot this down as I
...had the MOST AMAZING dream ever last night.
Well, almost.

There were about 15 of us, crouching at an abandoned building with a good full view of the enemies.
We had snipers with us, front line men, grenade launchers, and this commander with us.
I was whisked off to a van to put on a bullet-proof vest. Damn cool sial.
And then, I was just shooting away with my lao-yah pistol.
*Pang Pang Pang*

And then, I realized something doesn't look quite right with the whole picture.

Alarm rang and I woke up with this WTF look on my face.
I mean seriously, WTF mannnn.

How is it ok when all my fellow comrades were armed with AK-47, long cool rifles but all I had was a blardy lao-yah, short and small Desert Eagle pistol?!

HOW IS IT OK YOU TELL ME???

VERY STRESSED.
Finally knows how it feels like to experience constant headaches. Been popping Panadols like Mentos!

Today is my dad's 55th birthday!
And before I go on further, I would like to wish him a very Happy Birthday Pa!
I had a few places in mind to bring the family for dinner but this time, left it to my brother to decide.
He insisted that we should go to this restaurant in Bdr Manjalara.
So off we went!

It was a nice, quiet dinner at this quaint little chinese restaurant.
Simple deco, with only I counted, 9 tables inside.
Let my brother did the ordering as well.
Dishes for the night:

1. Stir fry vegetables ('yue piu', green vege, mushrooms, carrots)
2. A must to be ordered in most chinese families - Steamed fish (ikan keli I think, got misai one )
3. Deep fried 'tin kai' with ginger slice - this one yummm
4. And lastly, butter prawns

Result: RM181 damage to the wallet with 4 stuffed to the brim people!

Happy people, while waiting for food to arrive.
And pardon the ugwee pics of me, I had no make-up on. Just moisturizer ok!

Birthday 'boy' in red  
I bought the Red Hush Puppies Polo Shirt for pa! CNY ma, hehe.

Mr and Mrs Low

Me and my NEW bf
Hahahahahahahaah! 6 yrs apart. Sayang him to bits!!!

My brother lar, (not bf) with my mi

Ok now, do you think I look like my Dad or Mom?

This one nags me a lot

This one spoils me silly

And lastly, my new bf again...

This one calls me 'che'. But sometimes, pat pat my head and calls me 'Shorty'
But just so you know, I'm 5'6 ok!

So, do I look like my dad or mom, or brother??
OR NONE?!
Because, eversince small, my mom kept telling me that she picked me up from the garbage bin!

So, the whole night was spent at Anna's birthday party and then hopped over to Flam's to join JC and the rest of the IBMers.
And reached home at 4.30am? I think.

Was supposed to wake up at 6am so, with just a mere 1 hour and 30 min to go, I said, "Screw the sleep, just stone along."

   <--- sendiri stoning in the room.

So, I kept myself entertained for awhile, and with just 45 min left to go till 6am, I dozed off with the lights on - half body on the floor and the head rested on the bed.
Classic.

Then the phone rang at 6.16am.

Jeck-Jeck (as in The Incredibles, Jack Jack!): Hey, are you awake yet?
Me: Of course, I didn't sleep the whole night *grumble grumble*
Jeck-Jeck: I'm outside your house now. Downstairs. Come down ya.
Me: *with a sad sad voice* o....k...  but give me time to pack.

*Jeck-Jeck = the boy formerly known as Annoying Boy in the gym, but now we friend-friend already. Discovered he's not that annoying actually, very helpful in fact

Was yawning all the way to Bukit Jalil.
Dozed off a bit in the car while Jeck-Jeck blasted some very merry tuk-tuktuk-chang Chinese New Year songs.
Adui. Can pengsan.

Reached there, and was greeted by Kris, "Hello auntie! Still sleeping! Wake up wake up!"
Gave him The Stare.

Oh, you must be wondering what the hell were we doing at Bkt Jalil at that ungodly hour right?

We cycled.
Not your BMX bicycles that you rode when you were 7 yrs old ok?
These were bikes with wheels as thin as the width of your thumb.
Think, Lance Armstrong's bike

Our track path: Bkt Jalil ---> Puchong ---> Subang ---> Back to Bkt Jalil. 20KM

OMG. Can die.
Because, the track was actually really unsafe.
We had to ride on the motorcycle lanes and the motorcyclists were just zooming past us within that narrow lane!
And and, there were TUNNELS
Not Penchala Link tunnel but small kuchi-rat tunnels for motorcyclists and not lighted up at all, so it was quite hard to see.
And to add to it all, the bikes were actually quite difficult to control.

Every 20 seconds or so, I kept picturing myself crashing by the roadside and I will never get to see Mr Tay ever again.
BUT I DID NOT CRASH AT ALL
Jeck-Jeck was nice enough to follow closely behind me and not zoomed away like the rest of them!

Kris: "Auntie, come on, faster faster! You, in RPM class like damn terror, speed like mad, now what happened? Go drink like a fish somemore la, you drunkard woman you."

This, coming from my RPM instructor. Tsk tsk.

Mad people after the 2 hour ride.

jeck-jeck, adeline, uncle patrick (he has 7 bikes!), forgot the name, UNCLE kris, alvin (who has this bike shop, joo ngan in Damansara Utama)

my ride for that day, jeck-jeck's

UNCLE kris' firm solid butt

12 starving people in DU, brunch

Brunch was at this FANTASTIC nasi lemak shop.
And it's not your usual nasi lemak. You have to go there to find out yourself
Forgot the name though, something Village, next to Joo Ngan bicycle shop in Damansara Utama. It is so famous, it's featured in a local food programme.
Then, we hopped over to Joo Ngan to check out the bikes, accessories and whatnot.
Saw a pink bike that I like.

40 min there, I made a feeble attempt in excusing myself.

Me: Me sleepy, didn't sleep the whole night la
Horrible ppl: Sleepy, can sleep here! Got sofa!
Me: Ok, but I badly need a showerrrrr.
Horrible ppl all at one go: THERE! GOT BATHROOM HERE!
Kris: What excuse you want to give now???

Dragged jeck-jeck as my ammo, "jeck-jeck has to go genting after this la!"

So, got home at 12.10pm, had a long shower and collapsed on the bed and slept till 6.30pm.

The Saddist Me, loves how the whole body is aching now.
And I got slightly darker! I like!
The next trip, biking trip to Genting!

This guy friend of mine, messaged me on MSN saying the following day is Indulgence Day for his gf.
I asked what he meant by that.
It's her birthday and he has arranged a surprise spa session for her at 2.30, followed by mani + pedi at 5.00 and dinner at 7.30. 

I was like WOW!

And, he didn't just stop there.
A couple of hours later, he messaged me saying he just went out and came back with a new camera.
Casio Exilim 7.2mp, free 2GB of space for RM1050.
For her.

Then ah, can somemore remind me to wear WHITE for the birthday party as requested by the birthday girl.
I mean, I already knew that she asked us to wear white but the fact that he actually reminded me?

That, boys and girls, is WOW.

Every couple of months or so, Angie gets impulsive.
VERY IMPULSIVE.
And this month, today, this very second she's thinking of getting a new phone.

The other day, she forgot to grab her phone when she left office and was headed for a facial in taman tun.
She only realized her 1 yr old 6111 wasn't with her whilst driving and she really didn't want to turn back and miss her facial.
So, off she went for facial - half worrying that her phone might not be there anymore and shame to say, half hoping it would be flicked off by someone.
I KNOW!!!
Shame on her!!!

But... but.. but.... new phoneeee

a n g i e says:
but my phone still ok. the other day tertinggal in office when i left. can u believe it that i was hoping it got lost so that i have a reason to get a new one?

Perfectly Flawed needs to FOCUS says:

And then she was chatting with Patrick.

a n g i e says:

Patrick says:

a n g i e says:

Patrick says:

Patrick says:

Nokia l'amour, the perfect fling. Looks good but function sucks.
Just like your flings, looks good but can't be brought home to meet your mother

Motorola Razr Maxx v6, instant Love

So, this girl decides that Motorola Razr Maxx v6 will be it.
It will satisfy her for the need of a new toy.

But B E H O L D...

Patrick says:
razr max v6 is NOT available in malaysia

Ouch!
A real stab in the Heart!
Makes you feel like you just wanna die standing.

Therefore, I hereby conclude,

a n g i e says:
Razr Maxx v6 = cinta yang tak kesampaian
