Annoying errors

I'm back at KKM Kota Damansara for my checkup and feeling quite unhappy with how the day is progressing. I woke up late and arrived at 9 a.m. My appt is at 10.00. I figured that it's better to be early than late.

Wondering why the person in charge had put my card aside, I asked the her if I was supposed to be fasting. I didn't want to ask directly why I was put on hold since she might take offence. Then she pointed out that I had not written my name on the appt card. Duh!! It was covered by the list of readings I was supposed to get during screening, so I didn't notice the empty form underneath.

After taking my blood sugar reading, again with the lancet pushing in so deep that it left a bruise, I went to eat. I had a laksam, a bergedel and a small piece of fish, plus ice water. Guess how much i was charged? Rm11.30. Stupid tiny piece of fish was charged rm6. When I protested, I was advised to check before eating. Well, no one came to write the bill and I had trouble even to order plain water. The staff kept people who wanted to pay waiting too. Kedai sebelah KMM - you are now on my boycott list.

Afterwards went back upstairs to wait for my turn and realised that I had forgotten to bring the reference letter from Dr Siti and all my records. Because I was too busy watching Oshin to prepare my stuff yesterday.

When my number went past, i was of course annoyed. Until i realised that i had not passed my reference sheets to the counter attendants. Another sigh... I'm not used to all this streaming and procedures.

They the attendant asked when I had my blood test done. Lucky it was in my calendar. Shouldn't they have all that shit already computerised by now??

It's past 11.30 and I'm still waiting for my turn. It's going to be another hassle explaining why i didn't have the reference letter with me. I thought I didn't have time to go get my documents. Turns out I could have gone home and back if I wanted to.

I already took yesterday off, it would be a challenge to catch up with collection this afternoon :(

Home day

It's 10.30 and I'm still in bed, blogging. I did have breakfast though. Had to since I jabbed insulin. Thank God my numbers are better now.

I was up since 4.30 a.m. sorting out the Asus tablet. I'm a bit annoyed because I couldn't install Google Play store and Microsoft store is just stupid. The Asus Gift app was also an annoying piece of shit.

Got a bit confused because the damn thing was supposed to be an android tab, but it's behaving like a laptop/ PC. Sigh. I guess the machine is confused too...

Decided to buy the Asus instead of the iPad air because
1) It's more current
2) More hard disk space
3) Has a keyboard
4) Has USB port
5) Easier to integrate with my other devices.

I'm still uncomfortable with Apple devices...

So far, its not too bad. MS Office works fine without requiring 365 subscription. I started on the meeting report already. Will probably do the rest on PC. The mobile versions of Words and Excel are basically fine, but the PC versions are much more powerful. So, probably best to use tab for updating and PC for major formatting/ editing.

I managed to install Dropbox and Google Chrome, which are crucial to file integration. Wish I could get it to install Google Play, but no luck yet. Tried to install the Kindle Reader but cannot. There is an annoying ambiguity between what is considered a mobile app and PC thingy, unfortunately.

Tried to install some apps and widgets but failed. Then i realised i should just use those on my phone. No point having the same thing on both devices. I should use the tab for writing and editing, personal management stuff can be done on the phone.

Guess I'll need to figure out how the 3 devices should complement each other. It will all work out, in syaa Allah... ;)

What to do...

Yesterday I had an annoying passenger who kept moaning about everything. Her internet wasn't working la, her Grab not working la, she didn't have enough money la... on the way to Bangsar terpaksa singgah ambik duit. Then marah I tak jumpa the house when she was the one who gave the wrong address. Patutla Waze tak boleh nak search!

Most annoying was, she said it wasn't her fault, blamed me for getting lost and giving her a headache. Adoi... Semuanya orang lain yang salah.

Surprisingly I didn't lose my temper. I actually pitied her. A woman in her fifties moaning about losing something and saying, "habis la mak i marah". Like, hello... Aren't you too old to worry about your mom's nagging?

She was limping and complaining kaki sakit. Maybe seeking attention kot. But cannot tahan she gave me her phone WHILE I WAS DRIVING to see if I could fix her bloody apps. GEEZ!! Pakai otak la sikit, makcik oi...

Her phone looked like i had gone through Afghanistan or Gaza. It was probably jammed full of rubbish, but when I suggested that her phone memory was full, she denied it, saying "nothing wrong with my phone." Sigh. Sabar ajelah.

She was moaning about getting someone at Petronas or Maxis to help fix the phone. Mobile data dengan Wifi pun tak tau nak bezakan.... Orang explain tak mau dengar. I couldn't wait to drop her off.

My next passenger was a Bangladeshi worker. It was an easy cruise to Pandan Indah. AMAN DUNIA!

Stepping up

Just went for my follow up a few days ago and Dr Siti really was not pleased with my readings. Sigh.

Will need to step up and stop fooling around eating bad food. That said, the same night i missed dinner and ended up walloping large fries and Mc Chicken! Hehe...

Just discovered unsweetened Nescafe, which is a godsend... mana larat beli Starbucks wei... still struggling to kumpul duit ni. Projek lain belum jalan...

I don't  enjoy jabbing insulin, but no choice la. What to do?? At least I can adjust dosage according to my food intake. Nasib baik gomen bagi ubat free.

Now i need to increase exercise pulak. Maybe walk around the Landsite Operations while waiting for airport fare? Hahaha... have to be creative maa...

This morning's reading dah ok, 6.2. Hope I can keep it up. No more sweet drinks and desserts la. Huhu...
