FIGOAT

Sucks. I've put off writing this entry for so long that now I've forgotten what I wanted to write. Another month has gone by with nothing much done, no thanks to procrastination. By the time I finished my job in McD's, the last few Karate classes for the year were over! *sigh* No more Karate ever... not that I was that good at it anyway, but still...

Despite a long-standing ban on keeping pets in the apartment, many residents here have dogs and cats. Fishes and turtles are OK (had a bunch of turtles myself). When I thought I've seen it all when it comes to pets, one guy decides to push the boundaries of neighbourly tolerance even further. He bought his son a pet GOAT. Yes. A brown baby goat. How on earth does one keep that in a tiny apartment? I bet their apartment stinks like nobody's business. Not only that, that goat is so noisy. The guy lives a few floors above my parents apartment. Every afternoon, we can hear the poor creature bleating. At first my mom thought it was someone's baby crying. Mana tahu it turned out to be a GOAT. Wonder what are they gonna do when it gets bigger. Slaughter it, hold a kenduri and make mutton curry for everyone ah? It even has a collar and leash like a dog for goodness sake! And the ironic thing about all this is the guy is one of the committee members for out residential community. What next, pigs and cows? We can have a nice little animal farm in our home then...

On another note, I attended the 18th FIGO World Congress of Gynecology and Obstetrics in KLCC on Tuesday. Xian-Nian had an extra guest pass, so might as well take the opportunity to experience it. Heh... we aren't doctors (yet), let alone Ob/Gyns, so we didn't really expect to understand the lectures, but we attended them anyway. Learnt some stuff bout endometriosis, latest ultrasound techniques and some interesting drug controversies. It was good a good experience. Lots of people from all over the world, mostly specialists and researchers I think. It's quite amazing lor, that our country has to privilege to host such a large-scale event this year. I doubt it'll be held here again anytime soon. There were a couple of exhibition halls. Most of the booths were set up to promote new drugs and medical equipment. There were also some local and international tourism booths too as some of them are bidding for their country to be the host of the next congress (which I think is in 2012, not quite sure :P). FYI it was Xian-Nian's second day there, so he had already went around all the booths the day before. There were lots of freebies being given away. So being typical Malaysians, we did the typical thing...

There was this particular booth where you had to fill in a questionnaire about the company's drug and if you get all the questions right, they'll give you some free stuff. So we filled in the questionnaire and got our gifts la. Then we noticed that everyone were given some pens when they took their questionnaire. So Xian-Nian went up to one of the representatives...

XN: Excuse me, we filled up this questionnaire earlier, but didn't get any pens.

Lady: *Looks at Xian-Nian. Seems rather convinced, then looks at me. Gives me that one kind look, and glances at our guest passes.*

Lady: Sorry, these pens are for delegates only....

Wtf?? Like that also can! It's not like they're some cool gold parker pens or anything. They're just plastic ball pens with the company logo printed on it. Like those you get from buying Domino's Pizza or vitamin pills. Maybe it's because I didn't look like a doctor, cos everyone there are all middle-aged and matured-looking. I quote my sniggering boyfriend: "....little little girl... Yesterday I took also they never say anything." *sniggers some more *

Yeah well Dear, I guess your beard and size makes you look like one of them.:P

Andrew and Vee Han's double-event 21st birthday celebration is tomorrow. Can't wait for that.
