• A very lousy update

  Super busy now so just simply update. All grammar, writing style, writing etiquette out the window ok.
  
  Moved to Bandung on Saturday. My my, the room is much much smaller than what i remembered! And the toilet-cum-bathroom. Aih, i think i have angered the Toilet Deity in some way or other during my past life. Maybe I stole his toilet roll when he was doing his No.1 business or what, because i ALWAYS have problem with my toilet and water pressure. The current one has low water pressure again, and the floor is not tilted correctly meaning water cannot flow smoothly down the drain. Aiyo. Maximum geram-ness.
  
  Living cost in Bandung is as I've expected. High like hell. The food, although varied, costs a bomb! JPA, faster increase my allowance la. Oh, today Wei May and I also found out that not only is food expensive, the medicines are too. In fact, one can say that a poor man can afford to die, but cannot afford to get sick. Wei May has been having a dull pain near the lower right abdominal area for about 11 days, with diarrhea urges and dyspepsia. The doctor told her maybe she is having an infection. Wrote her a drug receipt and collected Rp40,000 as consultation fee. Fair enough. But when we went to pay for the drugs, guess what. A few antibiotics, diazepam, vitamin C, and some loperamide and the total cost is Rp345,000! O_O Crazy nut!!!!!!!!!
  
  Mind you, this isn't some private 5-star hospital. It's a clinic which smells like urine and a doctor's room which is only slightly bigger than my current toilet. Rp400,000 for treatment. Seriously, health care is NOT affordable at all in Indonesia.
  
  Ok lah, I dunno what i've been blabbering; whether or not there's a flow or if it's interesting. I'm tired so I must be pardoned. Consider this a spontaneous update. Amy, this is NOT the post i owe you.
