I was having diarrhoea yesterday morning, been to the toilet so many times that I had to ask permission from the Principal to see a doctor. Luckily she granted, well, she had to i guess. I went to S.K.Wong because a friend said he is quite good. It was so difficult to get an empty parking lot near S.K.Wong's clinic, I had to turn a few rounds before finally got one. Then the@& thing happned--my stomach--so i rushed to the washroom in the clinic--forgetting that i had to have the parking coupon displayed... When I was done with the business and registration, and remembered 'parking coupon', congratulations I had been fined!!!
Was so tired and exhausted after the doctor examined me i had no extra energy to drive downtown to pay the fine so i drove home instead. Made myself a mug of hot milo, took with 'bamboo charcoal' biscuits bought from Bluebarry Cake Shop next to the clinic, then swallowed the medicine and went to sleep. I ws given two types of medication - 'Dhamotil' to stop diarrhoea, and 'Spamodyn' to stop the stomachache. All the while as i was driving, how i wished i could have someone driving me when i am not feeling well. It's not fun at all having to drive on your own when you are physically unfit to do so. But since i have no one so no choice-lo...
As I'm feeling better today, so i decided i'll clear the fine a.s.a.p. so i went to MCC right after my extra class with F.6 students. At the front counter, i was informed that i had to go to another counter which is behind the MCC building... Fine. The building behind is under renovation so it was quite messy, and dirty as well. I was so geram at myself for forgetting to display the parking coupon, just then i turned around while waiting for the lady at the counter to process my 'saman' and i saw three huge aquariums at the lobby. Inside are deep sea fish, different species. I was so surprised to see 'them' - though i have always known that MCC has these with them since my college time - and suddenly i felt calm and at peace.
It was funny though, feeling calm and at peace after seeing some fish - it's not like they have the power, or perhaps they do - i think it is because at that moment i came to realise that i have been focusing too much on 'me' lately that i have forgotten to have a closer look at the world around me, to really see with heart and not merely 'looking without seeing'. Honestly i spent like 10 minutes standing in front of the aquariums just lookingn at the fish. Then i was giggling as i recalled a friend ever said that he doesn't like fish because 'they don't have any expression no matter how hard or how long you've looked at them'... ha ha.
i think this one resembles the main of the movie "Predator"
a yellow little fish was playing hide-n-seek with me so it's not in the pic
