Is filled with wishes. Wishes for health, wealth, togetherness, and a lot more that one can only think of.

For this coming stormy year, may all ends well. That’s all I can say.

Speechless.

It is time to just sit back and watch what all this will leads to. A very bad thing in life is you are not aware of what you want and what to do about this life. Complicated.

Had this problem quite some time ago. But only managed to sit down and really surf the solution out yesterday.

This happens kinda often. Usually after installing some new program for example photoshop CS3 or microsoft office, the internet connection goes off at the next reboot. And the small tv at the lower right of the screen shows 2 networks - the one which the com is already on and another ‘unidentified network’.

Found this easy solution which works like a charm.

Open CMD command prompt. Type in ‘delete route 0.0.0.0′.

And wallaaaa..

No more internet problems.

So much for a geek.

Another thing that I do not have talent in, but luckily didn’t end up the last! More stress is same team with big boss.

Think it is time to buy a flash.

The nearest swimmable beach of Selat Melaka from Melaka town.

So long never snap something inspiring.

It is time for a change of system. I think. Despite the cost or anything, I think it is the very first thing that they should implement and at least work towards changing it.

Today I saw an uncle who walked in, because of shortness of breath, claims himself to have an asthma attack but from the history taking, pointed totally the opposite of it. He has no idea of what he had, no idea of any of his co-morbid, and nothing on him to suggest what he suffered from before this.

After a lot of questioning. He might be taking frusemide, might be taking aspirin, and half a dozen of medication. And he claims he doesn’t have a follow up date.

This is the time that you would wish that you have the old note, and could sort out what had happened to him for the past few years.

My nebs in the asthma bay obviously did not helped to make him feel better.

Anyway, he was pushed to green zone to see another doctor after I pushed the case back to triage.

IF only we have the fully computed system. Maybe this small visit of him to the hospital alone without any relatives wouldn’t need to end up in a hospitalization. Maybe there would be less time spent on finding out what happened to him and focus on what is happening to him now. He came in the morning, got admited in the afternoon, which I think is a very long and tedious process. And I believe at the very end of the process in the ED, we still have no idea what happened to him before this and what is the main problem he is having now. Well, he is stable.

He will be admitted to the ward, maybe nothing will be done to him as the old notes will only appear the next morning or afternoon when they trace it.

And if there is that computer system that so many people was asking for, a lot of these things can be cut short.

And of course, even putting computers in wards for tracing result was told to be so expensive and time consuming, what more digitalizing all these medical records right?

I don’t understand how a couple of metres of LAN cables and a 30 year old IBM computer running on basic windows would cost more than building a pond.

Maybe the older generation is seriously lack of computer knowledge or skill, or it is simply trying to asking for the best but under utilizing the current resources.

Anyway, let’s hope that day wouldn’t be too far from now.

I understand that my blog posts are getting wordy. Lack of pictures and colours. Like those really packed meat that make u feel wanna vomit after eating them.

After a bombastic call with the weirdest cases on earth, I’m a bit numb with what am I suppose to do not. Lack of rest, lack of everything.

Thinking what to eat as dinner.

And thinking how to make this life more perfect if it is still holes here and there.

I must do it.

No joke, I think this is not new news but it is new to me, a bit left behind I know.

Seriously. Study chemistry, understand structure, and come out with their own eggs.

Now I’m not even sure what I’m eating is authentic or not! Maybe next time need to buy a piece of land to keep chicken, goat and cow together. Even meat can go ‘organic’.

Sorry for the lack of entries.

Had been kinda busy lately. In fact I’m typing this in a post call condition. But life is still great. And actually I do not have much to say actually.

Let’s hope everything stays good and something nice would happen later!

Adios

Woke up, and decided for breakfast. Aim is to have some simple breakfast around the resort. Shops outside basically offer continental breakfast (toast and butter), american breakfast (toast with butter and sausage, bacon and etc), and indonesian breakfast (of soto, fried rice or fried noodle).

And we called the bell boy yesterday but he didn’t answer the phone (sleeping) and so we told the resort to arrange our day tour that day for a price of 450,000 whole day in a toyota avanza. That is how we get to know Made, our driver, polite, down to earth and humble (mum found out that he is newly wed and had a baby girl but still need to earn by driving us around on the only off day that he got for the whole week for extra wages).

Actually by deducting the rent for the car (let’s say around 150,000 rupiah), the petrol for the whole day (around 100,000 rupiah), he merely earns a 200,000 rupiah per day. With a monthly wages of 1,400,000 rupiah, it is definitely hard to survive in Bali and the only way to survive is us - to earn from the tourist.

Before that, a view of the resort.

Our first destination is, the well known Tanah Lot.

Actually in term of historic value and etc, the place is small. Personally I think the only reason why so many people is there is because of the view. In fact, a lot of temples are identical but the locations that they are in make them great attractions.

At this open air restaurant. This must be some very romantic place during sunset or at night. But we already have plans for dinner :)

And next stop is the GWK.

Me with Garuda’s head.

Here you get a chance to read about the story of Garuda, and the Balinese ambition to build a really big statue which when completed will look like this:

Imagine the head in the previous picture is exactly the head of this Garuda in the second pic. Now, if they really can make this project happen, it is seriously gonna be a big kick ass statue and I think I’ll go back Bali just to witness that. The people working there said that it is going to be as big as the statue of liberty, and it can be seen from the airplane passing over Bali sky. I believe it because it is seriously going to be THAT big. And I hope that they will succeed.

Paparazzi shot again :)

On the way to our next destination.

Before that, stop from some local nice food of babi guling (I like the sound of it because I can finally say babi openly, while saying that in Malaysia is damn rude but in Bali babi is like so babi. LOL)

Next stop is Nusa Dua and Dreamland beach. Nothing special here but the waves are really big, no wonder so many people come here for surfing.

Next stop is the famous Uluwatu temple with lotsa naughty monkeys. Actually it is really advisable to buy those bananas from the old grandmas at roadside before entering and keep them safely in your bag first. It can be used as exchange if those monkeys steal your specs or slippers! That is exactly what happened to my spec. The monkey got hold of it and bite at it, now having a permanent chip on my spec as the only souvenir from Bali -__-”

It is a majestic place.

The last place on the list is to have dinner at the Jimbaran beach, which also cost a bomb. The famous sunset dinner.

From day till night. And it costed the whole month wages of my driver. Tailored only for tourists I guess.

That’s all about it. A post filled with lotsa pictures. Will blog bout the next day next time.
