Golf bug

Heya. Yesterday played in a golf tournament with one of our clients, a good excuse as any to skive off work eh? ;) It was fun, until we got rained out. managed to finish 14 holes only, and on the last par 5 we didn't manage to finish I was next to the green in 3! There goes a par try down the drain.

Played a lot of bogeys, double bogeys managed a single par only on a par 3. Doesn't sound like much of an achievement, but if you consider normal par 3s are 140-150 yards long, and the ones yesterday were 170-196 yards, then its much more significant.

Anyway, SLB ended up losing to Murphy Oil in the annual playoffs, so we will need to bring the trophy back next year. At least it gives me more time to brush up on my game before I compete again!

Thats all folks!

Still Coughing....

... but I've only just started to get better. Good thing I changed doctors again to the same one that cured my son in 3 days. My son has always had the sniffles, so we kept on going to the same doctor who kept on giving varying amounts of different medicine. The thing is my son never got really well. We finally decided we had had enough and changed doctors. Best thing I ever did for my son. She gave us a 3 day antibiotics course, some other medicine and he was cured in 3 days! Sumpah tak pergi dah doktor yang pertama tu. Seems that we're the ones paying for his Mercedes E270. At least the new doctor we're frequenting only drives a Toyota Vios! :D

So anyway, after suffering from coughing my lungs out, going to a "Specialist" at Pantai, going to Putrajaya's Emergency Unit on a Sunday evening and having this moron of a male nurse stick the needle in, and then only looking for the freaking vein to take blood from (where do they find idiots like that?) I decided to either go to another specialist hospital and make them admit me or to take my own life. I'm sure you guessed what I decided to do!

Anyway, most hospitals prefer referral letters, and I prefer them as well since then I don't have to call the insurance company, I went to the Doctor that my son goes to now. She actually looked concerned when she looked at me (good sign eh?) and had a really close look at the red spots on my skin. She came to the conclusion that the spots were due to the viral infection in my breathing passage (the cause of my bronchitis which no one had even told me about) and gave me more medicine to swallow. I almost told her then and there to prepare the letter, but she said to give it until Monday. It is Monday now, and I'm barely coughing, my skin's spots are actually clearing up and I haven't had a fever since I went to her clinic!

So what this post actually is a warning that fancy names (Tan Sri Datuk Dr. ********* at Pantai) and cars don't mean shit. What you need is just to find someone who truly cares, and I'm glad I found that in my GP. Oh, btw, she's a family friend to my wife so maybe that helps as well? LOL!
