Ear-rie Experience

A day after my schoolmates sponsored BBQ reunion (Thanks to Wee Wern for the invite), I decided to go for ear check-up since during my 3rd semester, my hearing been de-proved by roughly 30% and ever since I got my ass back home, I tried several methods to get rid of the shit blockage in my ear including ear candling (which it only relaxes you but not really removes your blockage)

Ear candling - good for healing insomnia

and seeking for parental assistance? It only costs more pain. So back to my story, after reunion night (which I had fun and never really laugh so much since I went Kuantan before Pesta Tanglung in semester 3), I went to government clinic to check (It's really cheap and good for mild sickness or condition like fever, flu, etc.- cost only RM1, kids below 12 - FREE). I registered at 2pm and it only consult me at 4.30pm (what the??). The doctor from the look of it a newbie check my ear, found the blockage and use tweezers something like this only bigger...

 YES! The one u use for operation big kind of scissors. What was I thinking to let the doctor use that to pull it out of my ear??

One second in, the next ear inflammation happened. The doctor later prescribed ear drop medicine which suppose to help with the blockage. That night I put 2 drops each on both of my ears. The next morning, I was DEAF. Imagine a world without music. I suffered for the next 2 days (Saturday and Sunday). Today, otherwise, is Monday thankfully the hospital is open!!! I went for Ear Specialist cost me around RM 150 for ear vacuum. Swooooop!! I can hear the nurses rejoice!! Shouting "Congratulations!!!" - That was an exaggeration. Anyway, morale lesson here is don't try to save a few buck and regret to seek for the best solution.



Side story: In the goverment clinic, I also took the opportunity to test for Thalassemia - the result was given on the spot. Negative. =)

Aluba

Image
For some of you not living in Asia, you might not know this but Aluba is a famous 'offering' one MAN has to 'deal' with. This normally occurs to male high school students in Asia and not recommend to perform on a female. Origins of the name came from Japan, other parts of Asia called it differently like Aruba in Taiwan and Happy Corner in Hong Kong. I'm surprised that they even has a wiki page for this (if you can read mandarin) Here comes the definition: Aluba is a student prank where you need to gather at least 4 person on pounce on a particular victim. Grab hold of his arms and legs. Spread his legs wide and ramp his groin against something thin, hard, rod-like and able to take a beating of the groin like a lamp post, a supporting cylinder wall or even the edge of a door. Repeat the 'ramping' process until all of you (except the victim) are satisfied. Sometimes the offering does not ends here, you may offer the victim to your "Holy" ro

So High vs. Sohai

Yes! First test 1 paper is over and inspirations starts flowing in again. After having read one of my good friends blog post. I realised that Malaysia and Singapore have many differences as well. In Singapore, you're not given a chance to speak your own preferred language like Hokkien. However, in Malaysia, it is not that I have no one to speak Hokkien dialect to but the thing is when you go Kuantan, most of the Chinese there speaks Cantonese and this became very difficult for me and my friend to order our food. We sounded weird...well... mostly not me (Thank you TVB drama) with our Hokkien mix English mix Cantonese words that came out from my mouth. From there, I have decided to put my best effort to learn how to speak fluent Cantonese in my 4 years in UMP. So, why the title gotta do with this. Well, first of all, my new friend here always annoy me with these words "I'm so high"... Ya, "geli" and annoying but then again it really make me reflect upon what i

Welcome to the Cashless Society (Malaysia Edition)

Image
The place was crowded. You were standing quietly, hands tugged into your straight cut jeans eyes locked on the wide boards over the top of the shelf. There are 2 persons standing in front of you - both larger than you. The first man at the front has been staring at that same wide board for some time now before he started speaking. Your hands began to sweat as you never done this before. You convinced yourself that you are not some hipsters that just got to have overpriced coffee and the only thing stands between you and that green maiden logo was the aroma of the coffee that draw you into the queue. Soon, it is your turn to order, you successfully blurt out a bunch of gibberish words that hipster made cool before giving your name to the cashier in front of you (which most of the time they are going to misspelled it). As you wait for the cashier to key in the last few details of your order, you noticed a small shelf in the place of cardholders at the front left of the cashier's tab
