华佗中医诊所

I was terrified by my mum that the rashes on my leg could be virus. So I think I'd better go to see dermatologist to verify. It's been there for at least a month I think, and it really upset me. It also upset my mum as she sees it.

Without making an appointment we went to see the doctor. Never thought it would be such a long queue and I'd need to wait for more than an hour for my turn. Gosh.. then we saw a chinese traditional clinic right beside, a big word: 皮肤专科 - 牛皮藓,生蛇. Out of sudden, I thought of this pig told me about his similar experience last night and his mum went to buy some chinese medicine, made him some black soup and he got rid of the rashes. Since I'd need to wait for my turn anyway, we walked in, see what chinese doctor would diagnose the rashes on my leg.

Walking in the clinic, there's a guy sitting there watching tv and nobody else. Then my mum asked him about the skin specialist. He said he himself is the doctor. *nearly faint* Apparently he's a China man which can tell from his slang. I was thinking in mind: Oh no.... I hope this is not a "black shop". No offence, just that I do not have confident in China man. I also do not have confident in things made in China.

Same as what pig told me, it's toxic (well, I think traditional doctor will claim everything as body toxic). Then I asked him why it's hurt as I press on the rash. He said the rash was a kind of inflammation which is not just on surface of skin, but deep into the flesh and bone. It gets itchy sometimes but it can't be scratched, and the color of the rash is affected by the weather. He also said that this kind of rashes which caused by toxic in body will normally appear on limbs as I asked him why they only appear on leg. He gave me 7-day chinese medicine powder and asked me to go back after 7 days. The course of medicine is meant for clearing the toxic in my body.

As shown in the picture, that's the medicine I got today. Very small bottle of power, mixed by more than 10 different kinds of chinese medicine powder. Know how much it cost? RM89!! *Faint* Well, I expected that... And I also believe I was his first customer today as his can't even get RM11 from his cash register for change. Gosh....

I was grumbling that we went into a "black shop". My mum is too kind-hearted, she merely said it's an try-out and who knows maybe the medicine could really help me get rid of the rashes.

Okay.. let's see what will happen after 7 days.

Dining at George and Dragon

Outlook of the cafe

It's not any special occassion. I merely feel like having some good food. So I suggested to have dinner at George and Dragon. I'd been there before with TT, JX and LH. Didn't have the main course last time cos I was called to the place after I had something for dinner. I've been thinking to visit this cafe again to make up the "yi han".

George and Dragon Cafe offers wine, beers and spirit of English food. They claim to serve "best steak in town". All meals are fresh from kitchen and are cooked with homemade stock, MSG free. Also, no pork is served in this cafe. The cafe is run by a lady boss from U.K. (if I'm not mistaken). The decoration at the dining area is also very "England".



As we don't eat beef, hence, only fish and chicken are ordered. According to TT and JX last commented, I believe the steak does taste good. We ordered the soup of the day - asparagus soup and homemade mushroom soup as starter, followed by the main course as follow:

Me and my dad ordered Salmon Fillet - Norwegian Salmon served with vegetable and US Russet potato. I chose to serve with garlic sauce whereas my dad's serve with lemon butter source. I don't know why I actually got a bit sickening with the fish. Nothing to do with the taste of the fish. Maybe because I lost appetite after having the soup filled up my stomach. My dad commented that salmon fillet at Sushi King taste better. haha.





My brother ordered Sherwood Chicken - char-grilled chicken chop with sweet and sour source, served with vegetable and potato wedges. I think it's so so only. Maybe the sauce is not really that fantastic.



Wholegrain Mustard Chicken - my little brother's main course. Deep fried chicken chop with wholegrain mustard sauce (don't know what it is). I didn't try cos it's deep fried. My brother and sis commented that this is the best among the 3 different chicken they ordered tonight.







Fresh Mushroom Chicken - Char-grilled chicken chop served with mushroom. The sauce is fantastic! But too bad, the chicken comes with skin. Gosh. I wonder why they didn't remove the skin?








My mum ordered Seafood Pasta. It's claimed as the best seller of the cafe. Err... it's too late for me to take the picture. As I finished taking pictures with all the chicken chops, the pasta had reached this state. hehe. The pasta was served with plenty of prawns and mussles. The sauce taste good too.




Lastly, homemade dessert. We merely ordered 2 of this Chocolate Fudge with ice-cream and shared. This dessert is really fantastic, I must say. the chocolate is served hot, the ice-cream is cold. The hot and the cold meet together, cum the fudge, perfect match! A must try dessert.

Letter to bastard

Dear Bastard,

I think you should go back to school to study moral. Don't take it for granted that you can always pressurise me at last minute. File had been long submitted to you please! Please be fair to me and be fair to my other client, as well as other manager. Don't you know that our work is planned in advance??? Don't you know that I have other deadline to meet and other client's expectation to meet?? Don't always expect me to work on your thing on urgent basis and don't give me that kind of warning, idoit. It could be managed better if you really review it on urgent basis when I submitted to you 3 weeks ago.

I really hope this would be the last time we work together on the stupid file.

GO BACK TO SCHOOL LAH MORON !!!

A relaxing Sunday

It's a relaxing Sunday, I followed my parents to Kulai to show my face to my relatives who have not seen me for few months. Also, took the opportunity to visit my 外婆. She's still as healthy as I last saw her on Mother's Day.


This is my 小舅's son. This little kid still cannot pronouce words correctly. He still called my mum "三猪" which in fact should be 三姑. Talking about this, then my mum's sister becomes "鳄鱼", which supposed to be 二姨. Hahaha.

I also heard of another news - my 小姨 is coming back from Beijing on August 4. She'll also bring along her daughter which she born her at risk. It's a blessing that both of them are healthy. I haven't seen this little girl since Chinese New Year. I could still recall my Ah Yis and cousins talked to my 小姨 via Skype on Mother's Day. Hehe. Time flies.


Returning to our old house, I went to see my dragon fruit first thing on return. OHH MY GOD... I can't believe it !! The 101 flowered dragon fruit had dried up! It's such a big fruit you know. It's sad enough to see this. Really.

(Hey, stingy, u've got to wait for another 2 years. Hiak~)



Being bo liao... so bring this little kid to Happyland for junk food.


Happyland sells ice-kacang, rojak, deep fried chicken and some other fried stuffs. Now I see Chao Kuey Tiao stall also. I usually go there for ice-kacang and rojak only. Sometimes, Thai Tofu. The boss has never done any renovation to the shop and it's still as stuffy as before. Talking about the food, I was quite disappointed that the quality of the food has gone low. The rojak was just ordinary for even pasar malam stall can do better than this. I wonder why this shop is still as popular as before? Maybe there aren't any better place for hanging out in that area?

Hardly a Sunday I can do something like this with no worries about work at all. Feeling so good.

What a relief ~~~

Have been working under super high tension on the engagement at Tuas these few weeks due to an urgent deadline given by bank. Looking at the status, to rush out one company is possible. But, for the other one to complete by end of this month is just mission impossible. 4 layers of reviews, if each reviewers take 2 days to turnaround and for us to clear all the reviewers' points, it will really take at least 2 weeks. Plus, to wrap up to the stage for review will also take at least one week, provided client co-operates and work well with us. Was struggling over this as pressure from manager and client keep coming towards me. I very scare of the situtation where my management and client are pointing finger against each others, trying to find the fault of each other. Eventually, I'll be the one who suffer. That also caused me couldn't sleep last week and having nightmare at night.

When I was urged to come out with the outstanding matter list, client suddenly came to me and said she had a good news for me - BANK ALLOWS THE EXTENTION OF REVIEW TO AUGUST!!! It's a miracle of the day!! I nearly break into tears of joy when she told me that. I even said this to her: Hey Michelle, can see my tears?? It's a relief to me u know! Well, it's a relief for her also as she's equally as stressful as me during the period. Opps, I previously commented her as chou woman. My apology. hehe.

Having said so..... my leave in August will be gone ~~!!!! ~~~!!!
Arghhhh............. When can I have my holiday ?????

But anyway.... my mood is very good now.. haha.... I'm sure I can have a bit of relax this weekend then. No more chasers from manager. Ohh yeah ~~

Attitude

Got this from Shih Han.... share with you all..

Today is a gift, that's why we call it the present ~~ what a beautiful line ~~


Attitude, after all, is everything .

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about
itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Remember, as we get this normal yet stressful time each year that the
pressure we feel is not personally directed. Today is a gift, that's why
we call it the present.


Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood.

You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life. Yeah... simple theory... but who can really be happy when they choose to be in good mood? Is that really a matter of choice?

Rashes~ rashes ~ arghhhhhhh

The rashes on my leg really upset me!!

I thought it's been getting better last week as it was not so obvious on Sunday after I applied this "万金肤宝" - a cream last bought in Beijing. As I return Singapore, it becomes pinkish in colour again! Argh! What's wrong with the room huh? I wonder. It's really irritating.

Talking about the rashes, this pig very "got heart" sent me sms asking me how it goes every now and then. Also, very the "househusband" kind asked me get an anti-dust mite mattress protector. Not just once, but a few times! *so nagging* But seriously, it's not that I don't want to get myself a mattress protector, just that I don't know how long I'll be staying here, so what's the point of getting more and more things into this room? Here goes the conversation:

KC:
How. Got bitten? You should get a mattress protector. Can buy in Jusco.

Me:
Dunno. Din go and see carefully. Eh... mattress protector just one piece of cover on top rite? Can prevent dust mite meh?

KC:

Me:
But the bed sheet will oso got dust mite one ma. Rite?

KC:
Jie jie, you can wash the bedsheet with detergent and put disinfectant to clean la. Who ask u to throw bedsheet? Then when it's cleaned, put protector first.

Me:

KC:
I bet you da xiao jie never do housework that's y breed dust mite. Walao, go Giant buy dettol liquid clothes disinfectant la. Add in together when wash clothes.

Then, there's another blood vomitting conversation which I laughed till die:

Veerla:

Sau Jun:

Veerla:

Veerla:

Daniel:

Erm.... Now then I notice I always got myself into dilemma. Not resolving problem at all. Why so many worries??

But anyway, thanks for the info. At least I know there is this anti-dust mite mattress protector and disinfectant in this world and where to get them. HA~
