physical, mental, emotional exhaustion
so my wife went for her laparoscopy (keyhole surgery) last Wednesday, and I’ve been busy taking care of her the past few days – Wednesday staying the whole day in the hospital and overnight (single room in Pantai Hospital still doesn’t have an extra bed! so I slept in the chair) and for a while on Thursday and then bringing her home on Friday.
Since then I’ve been taking care of her, and it’s fine, I have a long weekend (due to the hari raya aidilfitri holidays) and it was spent mostly at home (except for a couple of times when someone or another has graciously agreed to help take care of my wife). Managed to get some time to play World of Warcraft, and do some reading, but otherwise didn’t get much rest or sleep at all for the past… almost one whole week. Just drained and exhausted and I still have to come to work. Oh well. Add to that I also have to take care of the house renovations which just started.
But thankfully the operation went alright. We’ll find out tomorrow if how it went when we go to see the doctor. Meanwhile, I go looking for some rest.

so I finally got Burning Crusade for World of Warcraft. and having to download massive 500MB patches that take hours to download. That’s the not-so-fun part. But it will be fun after the patches are downloaded. It had better be…
on a better note, I finally found a good pipe organ sound on the church keyboard! It’s taken me a long time, I know, but I don’t always have much time to explore all the 1000++ sounds that are in the keyboard (Korg TR61). I used it in service today and was very delighted with the results
Last night we went to this Western food place in SS3 (I never had any idea that SS3 was so huge, I didn’t even really know this place existed) and it was good! Mixed grill for only rm12 and it had lamb, chicken, sausage, fish, egg along with fries and vegetables. Good stuff. I’ll definitely go back there again. For sure
Speaking of good food… Ka Wha Korean barbecue in Bangsar. All you can eat for rm38+ (yes you read that right, only one +). Post up review later (if I remember). Again, as usual, I forgot to take photos as I was too busy stuffing my face. Bleah! Anyway, I’m going again later this month, hopefully, so this time I should remember. Either that or Max will just do it
Burning Crusade patch almost done. Till the next post, over and out *salute*

3.39776 MYR |
| United States Dollars | Malaysia Ringgits |
1.00 CAD |

3.41547 MYR |

never thought I’d see the day when the Canadian dollar actually held a higher value than the US dollar. amazing. astounding.
THE object of my tech desires October 1, 2007

is coming! the HTC TyTN II is here… or something like that
Everything that I’ve ever wanted on a phone or PDA (well, smartphone) is in this.
- built-in qwerty keypad: check
- wi-fi: check
- gps receiver: check
- media player & mp3 ringtones: check
I know there’s plenty of smartphones out there that now have 3 of the 4 but so far only this one has everything!
the biggest problem is that it’s pretty much one whole month’s salary for me (before taxes, even!) so I don’t think I’ll be able to get it anytime soon, or even in the near future. Or far future at that.
the specs & official website are right here

my apologies, but Burger King, move over. Carl’s Jr is in town!
yeah, unfortunately Burger King has the unenviable position of being caught in the middle… not quite as tasty and large as Carl’s Jr, but not quite as cheap as McDonald’s.
Oh yes, Carl’s Jr. Used to have two branches here, but they closed down probably due to mismanagement along with Grandy’s and Whitecastle. Now it’s back, with one restaurant in One Utama, and hopefully more coming soon. The burgers are big and juicy, and they’ve got succulent onion rings and even unsweetened brewed lemon tea (you get to add your own sugar syrup and lemon wedges)
eagerly awaiting the chance to go there. yummmmm!
