Jimat RM143

Harini rasa sangat bertuah jadi rakyat Malaysia. I need to take Seretide 50/250 for my asthma. Hospital bekalkan. I just need to go there and take every month. Tak rajin nak pergi tiap2 bulan. Ingat kali ni nak beli di farmasi. Haritu nampak ada offer. Bila tanya dah takder. Offer pun sebab dah nak expired rupanya. Normal price is RM143. Hmmm... sanggup lah pergi hospital untuk ambil. Kali ni nak parking di tepi jalan Hospital Serdang tak jadi. Ada pekerja pembersihan longkang cakap polis tengah saman. So ke tempat parking yang jauh tu juga lah. Sampai2 terus ada shuttle van menunggu. Ambil ubat pun tak lama. Ambil masa sikit sebab ada student pharmacy tengah buat survey. She even used peak flow meter to test on me. Arini memang dada rasa kurang OK sket. Musim jerebu dan cuaca tak menentu ni memang begitu. I normally just brave it and tak guna inhaler pun. The PFM showed bacaan 320. Google said normal adult's reading should be 400. Not too bad I think. The student tak tau normal range berapa. Hmm... boleh Google jer dik. Lepas tu jalan laju2 untuk tunggu shuttle. Within 5 minutes cepat jer jadi makin ramai orang yang menunggu. I got a seat in the van. Ada yang kena tunggu next van. Today's Friday. The van will be off for Friday prayer from 1.00 to 2.30. I managed to settle everything within 45 minutes dan jimat RM143. Alhamdulillah. Syukur jadi rakyat Malaysia.

Ada 'kawan' yang pernah persoalkan kenapa nak pergi hospital kerajaan. Should go to private hospital. Kenapa pula tak boleh pergi hospital kerajaan? They provide the best service and apparently way more responsible and accountable compared to the private hospital. Takder lah cerita tolak patient tak nak rawat atas macam2 alasan. If anything happened to me, lagi senang untuk mereka rawat sebab rekod semua ada dengan mereka. Lagipun memang hospital tu untuk rakyat Malaysia kan. Ada insurance cover pun I would still choose government hospital as my first choice. Tapi kalau dah suka pergi private hospital tu silakan lah. Takder siapa nak marah pun. Dia jer yang tak puas hati kita pergi government hospital. Macam ni punya 'kawan' pun ada. Everytime pergi hospital teringat dengan komen dia tu. Ni nak cerita pasal bertuah jadi rakyat Malaysia sebab ada kemudahan yang elok macam ni pun teringatkan statement dia.

My Writing... Then and Now

It's a dark afternoon... as if about to rain. The humidity and heat was quite overwhelming. I sat on the sofa wondering why I have not been writing more these days. I wanted to. I probably have been thinking too much of a proper thing to write on my professional social media platform. But... I can write about anything in my blog. Why didn't I?

The rules to write better is to read more and to write daily. When I looked at my past entry many many years ago, the eloquence of my thought surprises me. The topic may be immature or too narrow as compared to my more mature perspectives now. But the fluidity of words rolling on the screen as I read them... felt quite alien sometimes. The me now... and then can be arguing about the same topic 😅 The younger me probably would have won with her words... being so enthusiastic about making her points through and understood by others. The me now... will just choose her battle and let the unimportant ones slide through the fabric of time.

Ahhhh... it started to drizzle. Hopefully the rain will cool down the earth a bit. And hopefully the zest of youth can emerge from the very bottom of my soul to help me write more, get the style of writing that I want, and get the right audience as well.
