Go Away, S.

I'm so stressed out that steamboat could be the only thing now that can make me feel normal again.

I KID YOU NOT.

Mom is still in Loh Guan Lye Hospital.. Low count on white blood cells.. Doctor is hardly saying anything.. The blood result came out fine.. We didn't know anything until Mr.Khoo take a look at the blood test result..

Dear Doctor,

How about letting my dad take your salary since you ARE NOT doing your job and he's doing a better job than you. My mom has been lying down on the hospital bed since yesterday and she still feels super dizzy.. Not sure if your nurse forgot to give her the antibiotics or you forgot to tell them to do so.. Seriously... DO YOUR JOB.

I have mentioned this many many times, and today I will still say that for any emergency cases, PLEASE GO DIRECTLY TO GENERAL HOSPITAL!

We brought mom to the emergency room because she was really weak, dizzy and always feeling like she needs to vomit. The hospital wouldn't let her get admitted into her room until I pay RM300 for deposit. WHAT IF I HAVE NO CASH MONEY OF RM300 or I didn't bring my credit cards with me that time? They will let her wait till someone comes over with that RM300?!?!?! 

After I pay and the officer was in the midst of processing some paperwork, I asked if now she could be brought to her room so that she could lie down, her answer to me was straight no. 

WHATTTT!?!?!?!

So, we waited until she finish photo copying mom's and mine IC then only get another man to escort us to the room. 

!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

The whole entire time while I register, mom was suffering trying to sit on the hard-plastic chair outside of the emergency room. Her head was tilted so low because the giddiness was literally killing her.

I am really speechless to how private hospitals treat emergency cases. Thank God I wasn't admitted to any private hospitals, if not I would prolly be in Heaven now. 

I don't know if other private hospitals have this kind of procedure (I hope not!), but my experience with Loh Guan Lye Hospital this time isn't a pleasant one. 

How disappointing.

Chek Hup 3in1 Ipoh White Coffee.

What a funny/weird/random update today huh?

I decided to write about my experience with Chek Hup just because.

Not that I have some unique experience with this brand lah.

I just wanted to update about something and this somehow caught my attention for today.

So, I was the one who did the shopping for all the snack items during my company's trip weeks ago. I went to Tesco to get the stuff and when I was looking to get coffee, I was stuck. I was literally standing in front of those packed coffee and stared at it for a good 2 minutes.

How to know which brand is good?

I need to get a packet of no sugar one and then less sugar another packet.

Believe it or not, I left Tesco without any coffee in my trolley. WITHOUT.

After seeking help from my colleagues, they gave me specific brand to get so I drove to Sam's Groceria and got Chek Hup. One packet no sugar, means 2in1 and another one packet with sugar, 3in1 but less sugar one. 

Good thing I didn't get them at Tesco because it was fifty cents cheaper at Sam's Groceria. So, I got the coffee and thought that the packaging looked pretty nice.

We didn't finish the coffee over at Cameron Highlands so we brought it back. We still have a lot of it actually! I took one 3in1 and decided to give it a try. 

So not me okay. It's really true that packaging does wonder to you. I only wanted to try because I like looking at the packaging. Not so much on the individual packets one, but the big one. 

Anyways, I came back from sales and was feeling exceptionally thirsty and decided to give this a try. 

I usually don't like my coffee hot and even more so when I was feeling super thirsty. So, I mixed it up with some hot  water and then campur iced cold water in. 

First swallow was amazing! The aroma of the white coffee is superb! Love it so much that I finished half of it on the second 'sip'! 

Maybe I was too thirsty lah that's why swallowed so much but it was really good. 

In fact, it was my first time finishing the whole cup of coffee by myself in the office. It's good. Really good. 

Side note: like my new manicure? I've always loved French style. This one is gel manicure sumore, so longer lasting it is :)))

Renewing that Red Book.

why?
Your passport has less than six (6) months validity to your date of travel or it had already expired long time.

Where? 
Pejabat Imigresen Georgetown.

When? 
Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 5:30pm.

How?
The office opens at 7:30am, so you can be there by 7:25am and get in line to take the number. To get the number from the officer, you have to present your current passport and Identification Card, then only you will be given a number.

All you do after you get your number is to wait. Try to find a seat if can. Usually, the staffs move slower in the morning no idea why. So, be prepared to wait for quite some time there. Of course if you see an elderly person needing a seat, you should must get up and offer yours. Manners first people. Manners.

When I got my number, I almost drop to the floor. There's 134 people before me leh! It's crazy. I waited in there for a while but it got too crowded so I stood outside for a while. Then, I was thinking of the things that I need to have to renew my passport and remembered that I need to have two pieces of my recent passport photos.

Not wanting to waste time and since I have so much time doing nothing other than standing by the side of the road, I walked to the Sri Weld Food Court to get my passport photo done. There's one small shop at the side of it. 

The shop owner told me that now no need to prepare passport photo beforehand. Everything will be done at the booth inside the office. Not very clear of what he meant, I walked back to the office. This time, I walked further inside until I saw the booth and then only knew what that shop owner was talking about.

When they call for your number, go up to the booth, give them your passport and IC. Then, they will ask you to sit down in front of the camera and sit up straight.

As you sit there and stare at the camera lens, the people waiting around are also probably staring at you. ONE OF THE MOST AWKWARD SITUATION TO BE IN. That lasted for like 2 minutes then you will be asked to wait for another booth/officer to call out your name.

Then, they will ask you a few questions like your mobile number and your current address etc to update your profile. They will also ask if you would like to renew your passport for:

2 years - RM100
5 years - RM300

I did mine for 5 years. No way I want to go through this again. Waiting for hours. Madness.

After that, they will ask you to wait (again!) to make your payment. So, I waited again. Most of the wait happened while standing. VERY LIMITED CHAIRS. 

I had one chair to myself for a good 12 minutes then I gave it up to an elderly woman who obviously needed the chair more than I do. My legs can still manage my weight and I'm still young okay. So yeah. GIVE YOUR CHAIR TO SENIOR CITIZEN PLEASE. There were so many young adults who were sitting down. Probably cos they can move faster towards the seat whenever someone gets up. Seriously..

Anyways, I paid RM300 to a lady also named, 'Sarah'. I know because when she called my name, she gave me the warmest smile. I couldn't tell why because she seemed to be annoyed with the previous person until I saw it on her name tag :)

Then, she will give me a receipt with the 'time to collect passport' on it. Mine was stated at 1:45pm but since I had things to do, I came only at 3:10pm. (I spent about 20 minutes going around the area looking for a parking space!).

When you go back to collect your passport, you have to show the receipt paper to the counter where you first take your number in the morning. He will then give you a new number for your passport collection which only operates at Booth 8.

Sixteen people before me. Not so bad. At least it's two digits, not three.

This time, I only waited for less than 30 minutes and it's done. 

All done.

Phewww. 

Whole morning and partial noon gone just to renew the red book. Please, if you need to renew your passport, DO IT FOR 5 YEARS.

I'm excited for November to come already. It's super exciting. More on that later. You might already know through my Instagram or Facebook or Twitter but you don't know where! Muahaha.

Till then :)

Three Days of Goodness.

The only Public Holiday this year that I didn't go out of the island, I think.

It's also the only Public Holiday this year that I actually slept in until 11am. 

The Khoo Clan's cycling trip was on but I was too tired and sleepy to join so I skipped that.

Just when I thought the whole day was just going to be relaxing kind of day, Koay planned a trip to the gym.

Free trial rocks! :)

Spent two hours working out, talking, and RPM-ing.

Now I know why people would spend hundreds per session for an hour with a trainer. It really works better like that. If I ever subscribe to a gym membership, it would be Absolute Fitness and I will need a trainer. Can be guy or girl, doesn't matter as long as they are a professional trainer! Heh.

Anyways, my weekend and Monday was fun-filled with activities and events and bonding time. Love ittt.

October is a fun month guys. All the upcoming getaways. Ahhhhh it's so nice! :)))

Wedding dinner at Eastin Hotel. Red wine for me and wiski for him :)

AYC promo trip to Prai Church!

My favorite thing to do in gym now: ROWING.

Bonding session with the mama. Gel mani/pedi FTW.

Fruitful week it has been.

Thank You Jesus for providing :)

Sunday Fun Day.

What an eventful today it has been. 

Started at 7:24am and doubt the night will end early tonight. 

It's going to be "ALL NIGHT LONGGGG!"

Because tomorrow PUBLIC HOLIDAY YEAH!

The Khoo clan had planned out a cycling trip around Georgetown but seems like weather is going to win this time. Hopefully not though. 

I've been looking forward to this for weeks!

JESUS HOLD THE RAIN PLEASE!

Alright, off I go now.

See you sooooon!

Laughter = Best Medicine.

2D1N Cameron Highlands.

for Holiday Tours & Travel's Company Trip.
with 1 employer and 24 employees.
on the 27-28 September 2014.

It turned out to be more fun than what I initially expected. I was quite reluctant to go for this trip at first but I'm thankful that I went in the end.

It is a trip that made my whole two years here worthwhile and passed really fast. The one night I had with these bunch of people made me want to stay in this company longer that planned. Not that I have plans to leave the company heh.

Also, this is the company's very first company trip. It's nice to know that I'm one of the people who suggested it, alongside with Jayne.

It feels great! :)

Going to work doesn't seem that bad anymore when now we are all closer with one another.

Thank You God for keeping Your promises. 

:)
