My last few days in KK....

I'm living my last few days in KK as if the world is coming to an end...if whatever some guy in a blog said about the raptures is true, i supposed i'm on the right track then...caught my last sunset in KK on Thursday evening...it was magnificent...and there was a reflecting rainbow at the opposite end of the sunset...how marvelous...Friday night cell had a farewell dinner for me...i was quite annoyed initially coz i was actually 5 mins late for our 730pm dinner and yet i was the earliest...had half the mind to just leave and they can have their own farewell without me...but it was my last time eating the chocolate fondant with ice-cream in Party Play...so i tolerated...so i had lamb shank, shared a giant fishbowl strawberry margarita with a few others...and had my chocolate fondant with ice-cream for dessert...still as good as it tasted the first time...if not better....

Saturday i was on call...wasn't too bad a call during the day...coz OT didn't call any cases till evening....so i spent most of the day finishing up this book i've been reading..."Wicked: The Life & Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" by Gregory Maguire...i do believe that at this age, my mind is still suggestible...there was a part in the book where Elphaba was in the company of Avaric and his friends and they were having a heated debate about what is evil...someone said, "evil is not doing the wrong things, it's feeling bad about doing the wrong things"....and so i decided that i shall stomp my conscience down when the HO asked me if she could do the appendicectomy...it was almost 1am and all i did was ask her back, "do you know what time is it?"...

Got home about 2am...managed to sleep about an hour plus until the Queen call MO called me to inform me he was sending a patient who put a metal ring on his penile shaft and it got stuck...the MO tried to pull out the ring for 2 hours in the casualty and ended up further engorging the penis...the patient arrived in SMC about 6am...no longer in pain coz there was no more sensation in his penis...it really pissed me off (no pun intended) when patients like this end up in the ward and gives me problem...i mean, keep your stupidity to yourself...don't inconvenient others with it...i called my boss on call and he just happily 'lepas tangan' and asked me to refer to urology...pissed me off so i just gave him a 'whatever' and slammed the phone down...

Managed to get the urology specialist on call and he came in a jiffy...so we posted him for removal of ring under GA...finished my call and morning round...came home and bathed...wore the white blouse Connie gave me as a farewell gift to church this morning...loved the blouse...and Sandra gave me a black Esprit bag at church as farewell gift...so nice...now i have a new bag to use to go to work...met Edwin in church...apparently he was visiting for the first time...so ngam...so i brought Flora over to introduce themselves to each other during chat time...for once (and for the last time) i've made myself useful over chat time...hahahaha....

After church i asked Edwin to join me and Shasha for lunch...since Pastor always asked us to invite newcomer to go for lunch after church...and Edwin actually obliged...too bad Flora had to go with the Paeds gang to Karambunai...if not, it would have been a good time for them to know each other over lunch...hehe...so i drove to Suria Sabah where we were supposed to meet at this Japanese steamboat restaurant for lunch...i wore the wrong sandals, a pair which sole was threatening to fall off...which it did as soon as i reached Suria Sabah...so i had no choice but to abandon my sandals at the garbage can...and so what else could i do but to strut around Suria Sabah barefooted in search of a shoe shop for some emergency shopping?

Thank God there was a Padini Concept Store at the ground floor...so i was probably a barefooted freak of Suria Sabah but i was beyond care...i needed a pair of new sandals stat...there was only 20% discount for members...so i had to apply for a membership card at rm20 (thank God i still had some money left) to get the 20% discount...even managed to snag a new fashion watch which was going for half price...so all in i actually paid less than what i would have paid for the shoes alone if i weren't a member...i'm sure there'll be more chance to use the card...

So i managed to find the Japanese restaurant...and so did Edwin...but Shasha was late...and Elsie too...Shasha went for facial and had some complication post facial so she was held back...Elsie was on call and had to see a patient in the hospital...so we only finally had lunch at 2pm...and hour later than the initial plan...during lunch Edwin had to suffer through me complaining about the guys who went up the mountain with me...i think he totally got scared and said hopefully he has not bullied me in the past so that i wouldn't curse him to be single forever...hahahaha...as if i'm a real witch who's capable of placing a curse on anyone...oh, and Shasha and Elsie bought me a subtlely sexy blue dress as a farewell gift...so nice...not that i really expect any send-off gifts...

After lunch had to rush to Warisan for my pedi and mani appointment at 3pm, which i was late for of course...still it was good to be able to pamper myself once in a while...but i'm convinced that a klutz like me am not meant for all these girlie things...coz within the first 5 mins i came home and walked into my room, i've managed to ruin the polish on my left big toe...urgh!!! i only feel pain for the money i've paid...oh well, i'll live...

Had dinner at Gayang with the Paeds gang and some HOs...they were having Kelvin's farewell...good thing i didn't get too lost on the way there and back...but i supposed that would be my last seafood meal in KK...it's been a tiring day today...hardly do i ever have a flurry of activities during weekends...
