The Zoo! (5)

9. It's only the peoples' money-lah! "Apa membazir pula?"

So this is how they spend the tax payers' money? What stupid way to justify their stupidity...

8. Who's bluffing? The excuse of being violent was that others who turned violent first; then somehow the facts turned up otherwise? Viewing from certain angle it's dead serious, turn it around and it's no big deal anymore?

I guess the day they stop printing comics in the newspaper, that's the day I'll stop spending RM1.20 a day for it...

5.“We need animals for this Zoo” So now this politician says people who smoke is an animal, because they are not thinking.. I’m not sure if there’re any jokers from his current team are smokers, but I’d bet my last sen with you that there are gonna be 'animals' from his 'farm' fielded for the coming election.

Come to think of it, it’ll be harder to pick one of these buggers who uses his brain often enough, before they utter rubbish out of their mouths.

6. Why must he be dressed like a clown? Hey even the one who didn't make it to space has just been promoted, guess it’s not too long before he gets to be a Datuk!

“One more time!”. Way before our first spaceman (most politically correct term for ‘the man who went to the space' - Angkasawan, astronaut, spaceflight participant, whatever!) landed, our leaders were busy issuing statements to talk about sending the next one to space, again. Only one person so far had enough senses to talk about its practicality. But somehow this news article's link was inaccessible now, although it was published on Oct 22, 2007...

7. Visit Malaysia Year 2007!

CNN says it's 40,000 folks here while the Malaysian Police says 4,000, and this news wasn't even worth front page in the local papers! I guess it must be one of those foreign media pranks again.

Heart Sick (12)

Day #6-8, Aug 4-6, 2006


The next morning I started coughing. I’ve heard about coughing after bypass surgery, and the nurses would ask the patients to cough out the phlegm. But coughing is a painful affair; especially when it was not a ‘controlled’ one.

It started in the morning with the stitches on my chest felt tight and a little painful with every cough once awhile. Then by the afternoon the frequency increased and so was the pain; coughing while lying on the bed is bad enough, coupled with pain from the wound and the fear of ‘bursting’ the stitches didn’t help. I held on dearly a pillow on my chest given to me by a nurse, enduring the pain and fearing to see blood on the pillow with every cough.

2, 668 coughs and 2 days later, I was finally out of ICU, and moved to the HDU (High Dependency Unit); it’s like a ‘semi-ICU’ with lesser patients and a window (finally!), and I had a few tubes removed as well. But my joy was short-lived as my coughing got worst it’s almost unbearable, and my surgeon decided to “put a tube into the lung to release some trapped air”, after looking at an x-ray taken earlier.

“It’s only as painful as ant’s bite”, so he said. I’m telling you NOT to believe doctors when they describe stuff like this, because it was bloody f*#%$@^ PAINFUL! Imagine pocking a tube from the back of your waist into the lung, minus anesthesia (he said “too much morphine in the body is no good”). However, I felt much better after I woke up with an extra tube attached on my body. And Peggy told me she didn’t know I could curse “so fluently”! Wonder what did I say?
