See Who Can't tahan

Hubby and son had used up the toothpaste. The tube was already flattened. I use Sensodyne. I was curious why no one had taken the move to get a new one from the drawer just a few steps away. When I asked, hubby said, 'see who can't tahan.' After having said that, son went into the bathroom and came out with the empty tube to show me. 'Why no one takes a new one?', I said, 'your father said who can't tahan. If you can't, get a new one then.'. He smiled and replaced with a new one.
We both laughed. Sometimes men are so lazy. I can't tahan the dirt on the floor. That's why I am always the one who mop the floor, clean the kitchen, so on and so forth.

SNN Symptom

Get tired so often. I think due to age.
Hubby said,'You have developed SNN symptom.'
I asked, 'What is SNN?'
He said,'Sao Nai Nai, sleep whenever you want.'
I replied, 'I don't go shopping, I don't go to hair saloon and I don't play mah jiong'
He teased me,'Because you don't have money to do all these'
I said,'Work harder, make more money so that I can live like a real SNN.'

Overcharge by Permai Polyclinics

Auntie in Tenom gave me some chicken feet already nicely deep fried. What I needed to do to make it a delicious stewed chicken feet and mushroom was very simple. Just soaked some chinese mushroom and stewed with the chicken feet with garlic, soysauce and other spices. It was superb! However, my two sons didn't seem to be very interested. On Thursday, hubby went outstation. The leftover became my lunch and dinner.

On the same night around 3am, I woke up with itchy left foot and left hand. Like before, my first suspicion was mosquitoes. I turned on the light and ready with Shieldtox to fight with the intruder. After searching for a while with no mosquito on sight, I looked at my foot and my hand and found no sign of mosquito bites. I went back to bed until the next morning.

On Friday night after dinner, the itchiness came back. Now with more rashes all over my body. My brother said it must be due to food allergy. Guess I ate too much chinese mushroom.

Since it was already 10pm, all the pharmacy shops were closed. I had no choice but looked for a 24-hour clinic. I finally found one in Lintas Plaza. It was Permai Polyclinics. The doctor in charged insisted an injection was necessary to stop the itchiness even though I told him I preferred to take medication. 3 years ago I had more severe allergy due to insect bites. The skin specialist didn't give me injection but medication and cream to apply.

Sitting in front of the doctor, I didn't seem to have a choice but to follow his instruction. Even though the the jab eased the itchiness very quickly, the bill gave me heart pain!

The total bill was RM112!!! Consultation RM30, Injection RM40 (with 2 medicines), Dyna Calamine Lotion RM12, 10 tablets of Predinisolone 5 mg RM20 and 10 tablets of ucb zyrtec Cetirizine Hydrochloride 10mg RM20.

Can you believe how the clinic charged me for the medication? I just wonder whether there is a system for us as consumer to report over charge by the doctor. Living in Malaysia, we don't seem to have a way to fight for our right. Inflation is hitting me really hard. I am not happy because certain people are abusing their charges. Who are suffering? People like me who don't earn high enough to shoulder the inflation.

Living in Kota Kinabalu

It is a blessing to live in Kota Kinabalu. My life is casual and relaxing.

My house is located at a convenient spot. I can buy groceries and daily needs just about any direction near my house. My office is 10 min within walking distance. My children's school is 6km away from my house, and most of the time I can avoid traffic jam at different hours using different routes. I love jogging at Taman Tun Fuad Stephen early in the morning especially after rainy nights. The fresh air and the sound of stream flowing down from the slope is simply refreshing. Sometimes I choose to jog round the man-made lake at Likas Sport Complex. When time is a bit rush, I jog at Taman Tropicana.
