APAM is my friend

third day and still clueless.


A.P.A.M is 28 years old and her real name is Shikin. i'm still recovering from the shock of knowing that she's 28 years old because she looks years younger. i thought that she was younger than me. her ringtone is Crying Lightning for goodness' sake! oh well, it doesn't matter. she looks like a nice person (i came to that conclusion after 4 hours of knowing her) and she's a big fan of Arctic Monkeys. she even went to the Big Day Out to watch them live.


i hate you, APAM.


so, yay me. my first new friend for the year of 2009 (discounting the Auditor Hensem, of course-sorry, it's not old yet) and i'm already jealous of her.


a cousin called this morning. she's a nurse at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang and she told me something interesting. she said that the total number of H1N1 cases in Malaysia is much, much higher than what is reported by the media. i don't know whether it's true or not, but i'm just repeating what she said. if that's true, then we're in a worse fix than we think we are. we're running out of antivirals and there are only two labs in Malaysia that do the testing of the throat swabs. that explains why most hospitals refuse to do the throat swabs, but still...we're dealing with human lives here. i think most of us know how overworked hospitals staff and all, but there's no excuse for them to be rude either.


i'm procrastinating, in case you're wondering.


what the fuck is wrong with Blogger.com, by the way?

kalo mahal tu tak kisah, tapi masalahnya banyak hospital yang refuse outright utk buat throat swab. macam adik k wani ari tu, walaupun ada rep letter daripada Pusrawi, tapi Hospital Serdang masih taknak buat. tengok chroniclesnya di sini. daripada private clinic pergi ke Pusrawi pergi ke Hospital Serdang. Pusrawi suruh pergi Hospital Serdang sebab kat Pusrawi takde alat utk buat throat swab tu.

you take care of yourself. benda ni dah jadi pandemic pun diorang masih buat tak kisah lagi.
