home sweet home

I’m writing this from home on my brand new computer. I get to rest at home for four days after my hectic exams. After the susah gile PBQ paper and OSPE, and somewhat ok MCQ’s I came home last Wednesday. Bought a ticket on the spot with me frenz and arrived home around 8pm. I missed uswah’s open house that night. Anyway, we bought tandoori and roti nan and ate at home. Then huh..terus hit the tv. Something I didn’t do much in kuantan. Bukan takde, just not really interested to watch it. I slept late watching mercury rising and How to lose a guy in 10 days.

I had to wake up early though coz me, adeq,hammad and mak planned to fast. But I just had to catch on some sleep. Then I woke back up coz I had to follow ayah and mak to Impian Emas Medical Centre. It’s a place which practices alternative medicine. Ayah wanted to try it since he couldn’t stand his allergic rhinitis anymore. They do Detox and infrared and prescribe medication other than the conventional ones. Kinda like a holistic approach. Ayah and mak did some detoxing while I underwent an infrared radiation treatment for a condition that I have. The visit to the centre cost ayah a bomb. It didn’t just burn a hole in his pockets, the whole pocket was burnt.

After that, I followed mak to her office coz she wanted me to be there when the computer guy came. But he didn’t turn up. So we went home, rested for a while and prepared for iftar while watching a Korean drama. Nasib it was the last episode, I can’t afford to be hooked on it. Anyway, the guy came to our house during this time. He setup the computer stuff and all and then wanted to show me a few things. At that time, I was feeling faint. I saw black dots and was on the verge of passing out. I don’t really know how it started or anything. I just felt like fainting so I immediately sat down. It was quite embarrassing, happening in front of that guy and all. I couldn’t eat or drink anything to regain my strength since it wasn’t time to break the fast yet. It was total agony waiting for those few minutes to iftar. Munibah couldn’t help teasing me about that incident after that.

I tried to figure the cause of my near-faint condition. Mak said it was because I was fasting. Ayah said it was due to the infra red treatment. It dehydrates you because the molecules are carried through the body by the body’s water content. Plus I was fasting, so I couldn’t replenish the water lost. Actually, I’ve experienced this faintness several times before. I can recall some incidents during high school. Even during the practical class where we had to stand for so long observing the organs of the cadaver, I felt slightly faint. I don’t really know how I’m gonna survive the bedside teaching during my clinical years. I certainly have to take some supplements to survive.

Last night I explored the uses of me brand new comp. logged on to the internet and found several old friends on line. Twas nice chatting with ‘em. Really nice.

Aishah came this morning and we caught up on old times. Updating each other on our happenings in life.
