Arrival Of My Cargo Stuff

Finally after a long wait of 15 days, the shipping company called me up today to inform me that my belongings from Sibu will be sent to my doorstep later this afternoon.

Coincidentally, I am at home today, not because I knew that the cargo is arriving, but essentially my food poisoning condition is worsening; had been up since 2am purging away and throwing out undigested food particles (non-bilious, no blood seen)! I think by now I have taken in at least 9 packets of ORS to replace the ongoing losses.

My sister is also having the same problem too -- now I start to wonder if it was the sashimi we took at Shogun on Sunday that has caused all this?!

Anyway, I really hope I can get back to work tomorrow; it's really boring sitting at home being a jobless man! ;( And I can't wait for my car to arrive at my doorstep today!

Life In KL So Far...

Barely one week after reporting duty to my new hospital, I am down with a very bad food poisoning today. Weak I am, but still manage to update my blog in my bed, thanks to the WiFi router (a farewell gift from my Sibu colleagues) and the old-but-faithful laptop.

There are lots of things to learn from my new working environment. Colleagues are so far very nice and helpful. The only one thing that bothers me a lot is the computerised system -- driving me nuts! But what the heck, I still gotta learn up whether I like it or not; and my first call is coming up real soon this week (hope I will be well by then!)

Toll is another issue which I have never encountered back in Sibu. It's really costly to travel everyday, paying not only the petrol, but also the toll fees. My credit card usage has shot up a lot ever since I came back.

Food, on the other hand, has been great in KL. So far, I have been trying out a variety of food, be it Japanese buffet at Shogun, Italian dinner at Pizza Uno and Marco's; Lunch at TGIF, and breakfast at Burger King -- this is something I miss a lot when I was in Sibu. And not forgetting my beloved de-caf Mocha at Starbucks! ;)

I am looking forward to every weekend for a nice dine out with my wife or family members. Now, would my credit card company please increase my credit limit? ;P

Streamyx Speed


Using the Speedometer from TM website, realised that the Streamyx speed in my area is more than 1Mbps! :) I was using the same package back in Sibu, but the best was only around 760kbps. That's quite a lot of difference especially when it comes to loading YouTube or browsing other online videos.
