Since Alfie abandoned this blog to start his own, Potato has started to post at his old blog again, and NEVER once posting here since, despite claiming on the tag board that he 'hasnt abandoned this blog'. Without both of them, our biggest contributors, this blog is hardly viewed anymore! Lets hope they return to light up this blog with more of their lameness again. For now please bear with Squid here.

Anyway, HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR! On behalf of squidnco, let me wish everyone good health, happiness and prosperity.

A shocking article I read on new year's eve's New Paper about an old woman who single handedly put her son through medical school with her meagre pay from working as a cleaner and various odd jobs. Yet, her son threw her out of her home the day she signed the papers transfering the ownership of her flat to him. Her son claimed that 'his late father wanted him to have the flat once he was old enough' and his position was difficult because his 'wife does not like having a mother-in-law cleaner living together with her'. How can a doctor who cant even take care of his mother take care of the numerous patients he sees everyday? I wouldnt trust such a doctor!

Oh ya, if you ever buy Levi's jeans from the big indian owned Levi's shop at queensway second floor, DO NOT get them to alter for you even though it is convenient. The workmanship sucks. Go to a reputable tailor instead, especially if you want it tapered or tightened.

The server at work can't support us and we had to keep stopping work. But the managers who stay up at the office UPSTAIRS and probably NEVER tried the work before think that we are all slacking and doing NOTHING. Read lots of newspapers to pass the time. There's this trainee doctor on attachment at TTSH who hung a bag in the shower room containing a video cam to capture nurses showering and got caught. He was caught as he went around looking for the bag..which doctor could be so stupid? The nurses were all very shocked and upset...because they all worked closely with him and trust him. Because a doctor is someone you trust! Your life could depend on him..

And there is this father from US who poisoned his kids to receive compensation. He poisoned them 3 times and each time demanded compensation. One of the kids had to be airlifted to another hospital and is in critical condition.

Just heard the news, all the defendants in the NKF civil suit have suddenly conceded defeat, just like Durai did a few weeks ago. And all of them pleaded innocence like less than one month ago? (Pressure from some 'external power' perhaps?

a sovenoir from the National Stadium

One more day to the final. Too bad Bankok is so far away(for a broke boy like me). Trust me, 'a night at the stadium is worth a thousand TV screens' -the experience of watching from a stadium is wonderful. Lets hope for an entertaining game and a really good fight...and a good refree too.
