arent you amazed by the human mind?

products and services
a product is something you purchase, tangible, measurable quality
whereas services are intangible, something you experience and if you came across bad service like me, you turn to the internet & whine your heart out!

the topic: Dr. Ong Eng San

why? lousy service
reason of visit: dizziness; near fainting spells

i went to a nearby clinic instead of my family doc. i like this female doc @ the nearby clinic. she’s nice, patience and she smiles alot. 🙂

my turn. i went in, only to realised the female doc wasn’t in. *arghhh
and in her place, is a male doc in his 50s.. aka Dr Ong.

Dr: how may i help you?
i explained my symptoms.

Dr: are you pregnant?
Me: no
Dr: are you married?
Me: no.
Dr: you could be pregnant without getting married.
Me: yeap, but i’m not.
Dr: BUT, you could be pregnant without getting married.
Me: -_- i’m NOT.

hello ! see, bad service. how could a doc be that unprofessional?

he did some tests & all seems well with me.
*whew !

Dr: okie, go and lie down.
Me: OH?! okie..

he proceed to check my tummy. hmm.. funny feeling. why didn’t he get a nurse to join us before checking my tummy? yes, i understand he’s a professional doc and i can protect myself BUT .. i felt.. i cant pinpoint the feeling…

read on.

he told me to sit up, lie on my side and tried standing up. i felt fine.
Dr Ong rudely shoot me with a “so, when do u ever felt dizzy?”

duh. thanks eh ! i expect a doctor to reassure me – i am okie.. instead of the accusing tone.

he went on to ask – do you need mc?
no. i don’t. honest to god, i felt fine. i am fine. but the recent fainting spells got ME worried. is there any underlying problem which i’m not aware of?! he seems shocked that i don’t want a mc.

anyway..

Dr Ong proceed to took out his book. flip to the page – what causes fainting (or whatever you call it) and went through. he went through various medical terms and description with me. duh. i don’t need to know the medical terms.. nor do i want a doc whose judgemental skill is lousy; he had to turn to the medical textbook on the spot and pintpoint my problem.

thanks eh !

i cut him off with a “so, i’m okie right?’’
and walk myself out after he say yes.
collected my meds, check my receipt and asked the lady – the doctor inside is this Dr Ong Eng San? Affirmative.

yes, im pissed enough to conduct a google search. wanted to issue a complain email, but the company wasn’t listed.
i hv blogged abt it and i cant decide shld i take a step further by writing on this on fb. any mktg student will tell you the web and social media are powerful tools.

Pointers to Dr Ong:

1)      be kind, not insulting.

2)      you might have years of experience and is a professional doc but pls, get the nurse in if you are conducting body checks.

3)      never, ever.. show your patient the medical book. *tsk tsk

alritey. felt better after the whine !

compliment of myself !

serious?!
okie, 600th entry !
i have a few drafts but i tot i shld do a sweet entry.

i didnt realised i had skinny fingers until he told me.

i didnt realised he gently squeeze my hand whenever i’m scared – just to let me know he’s around.

i didnt realised i’ll react by gently squeezing his hand.

i didnt realised i grasp his hand whenever i’m frightened.

i didnt know there was someone who would sway to music like i do.

i didnt know someone would wait patiently.. while i decide shld i move the snail outta harm’s way.

i didnt know someone would tried his best to keep me happy.

i didnt know my smile could mean so much to someone  .. until he came along.

thank you, whoever up there, for delivered pumpkin to me.  🙂

one of d reason i love pumpkin – his sense of humor.

had my dinner at 11pm yesterday, coz of school.. anyway, he called.

chit-chat & i asked: hey, lets say we got, u noe, married. will u wash my pot for me? after my supper?

he: no, i will leave d pot in the fridge.
me: WHY? fridge?! leave it in d sink!
he: will attract ants. okie lah, of coz, i wash for u but in d long run will feel grrrrrr.

me: but, i noe how to cook & u dont. so, i cook, u wash.
he: oh, yar hor. *silence * okie, i will unplug ur pc.
me: wah!!
he: i will unplug ur pc, so make sure u take photos of d cable etc etc, so u noe how to plug them back. *evil laugh
me: how abt? i tot the pc is faulty & i went out to buy a new computer, using ur credit card, of coz.

he kept quiet. hahahahaa ! i love talkin to pumpkin.

blissful. happy.

i promise this would be a rare entry.

life been so good, i almost forgot what it feels like.

….

woah. suddenly realised its 17 mths !

and i have been happy most of the time *smile* and i mean really happy.

….

called gil for a mini-gossip. impressed with myself = 5 mins = 5 gossips.

point aside, he’s the reason for this blog entry.

like i say, its been 17 mths and i’m surprised to realised, that tall, protective friend is still mad.. not at me (of coz!) but at someone who hurt me in the past.
honestly, it been so long i could hardly remember much of it.

i’m not here to talk abt what happened..  (old news!)
i just wanna thank my friends.. for being so caring and protective.

….

its .. sweet and a little frightening. somehow.
hey, stop worrying ! i am okie ! 🙂

.. cheezels !

2 outta 12 mini-packs are inedible. i dont like to see ‘hole’ on the mini-pack. they might be safe for consumption but looks duh to me.

QM, QM! 

i hv to dump those defective cheezels.. bye cheezels !

in an continuous effort to save monies.. i have turn to bringing lunchie to work !
not everyday eh.. maybe 3 times a week? hmmm, honestly i wondered for a moment — shld i really post this online? but, oh well. not as if i’m committing a crime. i need to pay off school fees. of coz, pumpkin volunteer to ‘take care’ of school fees but i refused. i appreciated his generosity but its smts i wanted to do for me, myself & i.

what shld i cook?!

*i cant decide..

*bee hoon

tml’s menu:

*sardine bee hoon ! stole this idea from ms chan’s auntie. her thai auntie cooks very well. lucky her !
i did some improvisation, added crab stick & onion !

classified the whole-suffering for school as a life experience. smts, i tot — how come i dont hv super rich folks who pay for my school fees yet i wont trade them for anything else in the world. *choke on my tears .. and, i guess, i learn to appreciate everything else. plus, i learn to cook. win-win situation.

enough of feel-good words !

of coz, i have my down moments, like i really wanted a pair of red sneakers but life have its priorities & its studying. its a decision i made and i havent look back ! 🙂

i tot Singapore is a safe country. murders, rape, embezzle blah blah blah dont happen here. but i read abt murders, rape, embezzle (even NPOs!) in Singapore.

i tot flood donest exist in Singapore. yeap, TWICE. my heart went out to a family. their power supply was down for 2 days.

i tot it donest matter how many As i score in school. Mummy told me to tried my best and she’s happy (which make me happy!) but recently, i read abt JC girls jumpin to their deaths..

i tot the world is fair. everyone have shelter over their head, parents who love us, education, the works. until i read abt pple drawing ‘cfm-go-to-hell’ (pardon my harsh words) and children dying d from malnutrition.

i tot working hard is enough.. until pple said – life is abt working smart; not working hard -_-

i tot being nice to everyone will guarantee everyone else being nice to me. it doesnt happen in real life.

i tot wars is a thing of the past. until i watched discovery / news and realised human never learn their lessons.

i tot a bag is just for keeping things; nowsdae a bag is a accessory.

i tot a family consists of a woman, a man and kids; nowsdae there are two man & their adopted kids.

i tot as long as i am happy and its enough. but, its not. one needs to be pretty, smart, intelligent, fun, outgoing, rich. okie, i lied. i still tot as long as i’m happy and its enough !

i dunno what prompt me to wrote this entry. just.. i dunno. smts, i wish the world is simpler, humans are simpler.*smile
