the best experience of government bureaucracy happened this morning. :) n no, this isnt sarcasm.
i got a call from the HKL (hosp kuala lumpur) dept of urology this morn following up with me on a request i sent to them earlier.
story:
i went to look for the Msian Urological Association office in the HKL Dept of Urology last wed. 1stly, HKL had an information centre for me to ask whr the dept is. the lady gave good directions and phone number of the dept's office.
i got myself to the dept, n the security guard lady outside the office let me in without much questions.
i met the secretary of MUA n got to interview her face to face, all without formal letters of consent or proposal or bla bla bla.
she gave me MUA's email n ask me to email evting i needed wadever request / info i wanted from MUA.
i sent the email that aftern n called in the next day to confirm the sent email. the secretary said yes she has read my email n fwded it to the consultant urologist. she asked me to give her mon / tues to get the consultant's feedback.
today (tues) b4 i even picked up my phone to call, SHE called me to fix appointment to meet the consultant. WAS I BAFFLED??!!! wads more, i wasnt free on the proposed time of appointment, told her i got class, n suggested other time slots. she said, hang on yeah. i'll ask the consultant to fix another time n wil get back to u. in less than 5 mins, she called back with another time slot. *FLABBERGASTED*
Urology Dept of HKL should get like ultra mega A+++ star Quality award.
since when do gov offices let u do anything without formal proposal or wad more, ring u up to set appointment w u???
since now i suppose. :)

running... a hamster's cycle.
phenomenal lax.
1. when too busy, we complain n say we're dying n not enough time n complain too much work n compare ourselves w ev1 else.
2. when we have the time, we sit down, relax n start to lax. ending up in procrastination / not working effectively n thus suffering the consequence of no. 1.
the vicious cycle goes on.. n on.. n on..
MS test on mon. yikes.

logic says
a) drop some commitments or
b) believe u will be able to study like crazy if u plan ur time well and persevere.
i cant do either 1.
i cant let go of any commitments. feels terrible. n well yeah, i just cant. hav debate, eamsc paper, eamsc acad work.
but at the same time, i cant think how i'm going 2 get thru evting n stil hav enough time to study. at least properly. it's the 1st time i cant finish a module within the module itself.
*very stressed*very, very, very, very..............
isit like an end-of-1st-semester syndrome or wad. last yr it was royals. tho i survived that, i cant say that was as bad as this.

Washing Machine dilemma
it's kiasu to blog twice in a day but lol i have a dilemma.
Dear blog Reader,
i was ascending my hostel bolck stairs jus a while ago unshamefully tinking, YEAH NO NEED to fight to use the washing machine w other ppl once again. :D (my floor has no machine so i got 2 use the 1 in the upper floor) thruout the whole wk i could use it whenever i wanted cz ev1 was back home 4 raya hols. muahaha. but whn i got thr, to my utter dismay yet again, the sign above the machine was staring straight into my face.
*TONGgggggggg*
(picture this notice in CAPS n RED in colour...)
Beberapa orang telah dikenal pasti menggunakan mesin basuh tanpa bayaran. etc etc. Sesiapa yang ditangkap akan dikenakan denda sebanyak RM25.00 serta-merta. Jika terdapat sebarang masalah sila hubungi O1--------. Tuhan melihat apa ang anda lakukan.
u get the idea.
so y am i writing about this.
u guessed it... i shamefully admit that i was too lazy to go to the washing machine owner's room to pay for the rent cz the last time thr was a notice, all it said was 'Pls pay at room J3--', not leaving any phone number or name or wadsoever. so bcz it was beginning of the sem when i was a bit more hardworking n due to conscience, i took the extra measure of pocketing RM50 whn i went to load my laundry. i knocked.... n knocked.... n knocked... *sigh nobody. so fine... yeah... u noe wad happened after that. i got too lazy / always forget to bring rm50 w me the next consecutive times n so nvr got to pay the poor fella. (i admit this is reli irresponsible of me n the fella has every right to think i am s well)
u might say, easy lah, now got phone num given, just go pay lar. lolz. dat was my 1st tot.
on a 2nd tot, thr was the extra rm25 fine for paying late. :(.....
so i have these options:
A. responsibly contact the person n apologise and pay rm75 (inclusive of fine)
B. as above but negotiate with the person not to fine me. (but i'm not bold enuf to do that u see)
C. contact the person bt remain anonymous n slip rm50 under her door. this wil justify my conscience but is less responsible. -extra rm25 is not a small amt.... :(
D. forget about it n then pay rm100 the start of the next sem. even less responsible but so much more convenient.
wad would u do?

Sad Machine Case

it seemed as if everyday of my hols was planned out like chunks of little wafer blocks being taken out frm compartments as i slowly munch thru conveniently day by day as time sets itself in place.
probably 1 of my most productive short hols by far. not reli that this hols has bn extremely productive, but meaning, all the rest of my hols always masuk longkang hehe. it comes with self satisfaction knowing u temporarily accomplished a good piece of work, getting recognition and comparing it with the what ifs.
last friday i asked what if i went home. no doubt i miss my family and the company of the hoard of noisy friends and coursemates but i guess i tot busyness would push that away.
tho i din finish as much as i hoped to in terms of catching up with lectures, stil, its ok.
n its reli heart warming to have ppl constantly on the lookout for u. thx cher :) thx pau n dev for dropping by. thx pei sun for assuming the motherly role of taking me in for a few days haha, leaving her own mother for me lol.. thx for the well wishes from friends. n msgs / emails / calls / blog comments that kept me in touch w some civilisation. whether it was connected to some form of work or just random nonsense. :P
i have 3 days left, all booked with unfinished work. but i'm looking fwd. :D
