"Special Experience in A&E in Glasgow"

Well after a period of drilling by examinations .. at last it will take a short break while we prepare for out FINAL FIGHT for PP3 ... well congratulation to those who got exempted during the exemption.. well for those who didnt , its ok - good luck n work hard ...
ok continue with what i wanted to say... since i came here i am troubled by this diarrhoea problem. So after coming here 2 months , this diarrhoea "fren" also teman me for that long. After the exam , me n WW ( who is also suffering a shorter period of diarrhoea due to unknown reason - i guess :P) so me , her , rosie N CY , went to Townhead Health centre to MAKE AN APPOINMENT.. well sorry folks but then ppl here are just not effiecient enought i guess, seeing a doctor - u hv to WAIT ... so the lady in that centre told us the fastest was 5 september , but then we are on holiday trip that time , how to go see the doc man !!.
So we change the date to 12 September , but imagine man , diarrhoea for another 3 weeks to see a doc ? i might be super dehydrated by then.. so i wander a person come in with chest pain then suddenly heart attack then what will they tell them - " pls wait for 3 weeks for your appoinment" - i wander will that patient still be alive by then ...
Well since we need to wait so long , me n Ww got the idea of why dun go to A&E ( Accident & Emergency Dpmt) to get some "free" ORS and loperamide , since the ORS OTC is so expensive 6 packet for RM21 or more .. no point man ..
So we went to the A&E before going to Tesco shopping ---HWA LIAO , when we go in the ppl there are like "people mountain peole sea" haha .. so many people and then we ask the receptionist how long should we wait till our turn? She say maybe "3-4 hours" good then so much of a EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT.. dun that "'EMERGENCY " i guess?
So we decided maybe we come back later, after our tesco shopping , it might not be that much ppl by then...So we happily went to upload some stuff from Tesco and went back to the A&E...

Well while approaching that place , it was obviously more ppl than before (oh gosh that is horrible) so we went in and ask how long to wait , well we got the same answer , but then this time we are determined to wait already.. because we are prepared --- wandering what we prepared ? haha we brought Chips (from WW) , and fruit bar from me , and then water.. its a bit of picnic style in the hospital.. While we were waiting there , CY and rosie went home to cook dinner , and wait for us at home (supposingly) ...

but then after waiting for like an hour , i started to get bored n start complainig about their speed of doing things, they take in patients in such a slow rate.. boy am i surprise.... and then i started calling my bf at first ( got some starring by some public , because i dunno UK hospital also cannot use HP) , then sms my dad PCK and son Pou Wee , complaining that i waited so long in the A&E .. well according to the rate of their reply , hehe they still "got my heart" lah at least they replied my msg , and they cared about me :) thanks for calling and concern , its very touch ...

And here come and even more touching event... Rosie and CY voluntereed to bring us our dinner.. they are really very very nice n thoughtful.. me and WW feeel so touched by them.. and our dinner came hot like their heart for us.. so nice and warm feeling... we are like a family : )
Well when they got here and i was about to start laying out my dinner... i heard a man came out.... Wen Chung.... ok that sounds a bit like my name Chung cheng wen... usually that is how ppl pronounce my name... but then when i double check with them , they were asking for Wen wei .. hehe so i go back to my seat and wait for my turn....

ok i gotta stop here first.. second part will be back later.. sorry
