Pagoda

CNY will not be complete without a visit to the temple of 10, 000 latterns.

Balik Pulau

Felt like a tourist and wandered off to the suburb. This showed how much I have missed home.

Kuan Yin Teng Temple.

The Altar.

Pulau Betong Beach.

Happy CNY 2009

$$$$$$$$

I would like to wish friends and bloggers a very happy and prosperous Chinese New Year. Despite the unfavorable economy, may this Ox year brings us more $$$ and more importantly good health.

Gong Xi Fa Cai.

Dinner

A simple home made dinner.

Red lantern

Raise the red lantern.

Spent the whole day shopping from one complex to another, cleaned up the whole house and put up CNY decorative stuffs. All non-stopped for 18 hours.

Free

Last day to register today for the free WiFi.

Got myself registered and tried out the internet connection. Reception was only good around the main entrance. The speed was nothing much to shout about as it was slower than my Streamyx 512. Every time when logging in, there was a delayed two-minute 'advertisement' about Penang before we could proceed. Nevertheless, thumb's up for anything FREE.

Referal specialist

For the last few years or so, it seemed that the MOH has produced a new generation of specialists called "Referal Specialists".

Physician is indeed a dying breed.

I foresee that by 2020, Physicians are extint from MOH.

This is the sad situation we see nowadays in a ward called "Medical ward".

The case is very simple.

A young man who is an ex-IVDU with HIV infection, HCV positive and old PTB (just completed treatment 4 months ago), currently presented with left leg cellulitis and cough of 3 weeks duration.

The patient was admitted to a ward called "Medical ward" and was seen by a specialist called "Physician", and so what was the plan?

1. Refer Orthopaedic and Dermatology for cellulitis.
2. Refer Infectious Disease for HIV.
3. Refer Gastroenterology for Hepatitis C.
4. Refer Respiratory Medicine for TRO PTB.
5. Refer Psychiatry for Methadone replacement therapy.

So I wonder, what does the Physician do in the Medical ward nowadays?

New Year Mood

Shopping for some decorative plants at the night market.

RO water

Stiff competition.

From RM.10/500ml to RM0.10/1000ml.

This one, cheapest.

Lyric@

Went to a product launch.

Lots of freebies and a cute pendrive.

Banner

Some red banners for CNY deco.

Gold

Mini Mandarin, RM3.68/kg.

Very sweet mini Mandarin this year.
Orange in Cantonese means "Gold".
Good Feng Shui.

Meanwhile, got to look for a new digital camera.

Victim

Just few weeks ago, I attended to a patient who was a victim of snatch theft in Taman Sentosa. She suffered multiple laceration and abrasion wounds when she fell and was dragged for a distance.

Luckily she did not suffer any major injuries.

I adviced her to be extra careful as that place is well known for snatch thefts.

Good bye my Ixus 950, only lasted 1 and a half years old.

Damn it, last night I was the victim of snatch theft.

Sad.

Craving

Tak boleh tahan.

Craving for Pg Asam Laksa. Though not as good as original, but still acceptable.

For the Asam Laksa to taste better, it has to be served at road side and eaten beside the 'longkang' (drain).

The CNY mood is slowly picking up.

Everything has to be red.

Happy New Year 2009
