Cuti Cuti Malaysia

Didn't get much time to blog over last week or so. Promised my kids to take them to the National Zoo, which I haven't been to myself for the past 30 years. Guess what, nothing has changed!!! I think Taiping Zoo is so much better..
Anyway, I don't know things about fundings etc. I'm sure it's costly to run a zoo. Somehow I can't find that spark or oomph in our National Zoo, to make it a really memorable visit.
Maybe it is a memorable visit for my kids, I'll ask them..At least they can write about it in their
essay, which I'm sure they'll be asked to do after the holidays.

Well, another medical fiasco this week. 4 different hospitals private and public, turned away ( or tried to), a patient with gunshot wound. I think our ethics have gone to the dogs..(apologies to all the dogs). Whatever happened to the desire to treat the sick, god..
At least DG made sense this time in ticking them off..Anyway, as usual, there could be more to it than meets the eye.

Travelling during school holidays can be challenging in many ways. You have to cope with the constant in-car yelling,jumping and crying.Not to mention the I want to go to the toilet routine..That is ok, what I really get pissed about is the ignoramus on wheels. Somehow, someone forgot to teach some drivers some etiquette.
By the way, I think we need a sort of 'slow' trap too on the road to complement the 'speed' traps.I think countless accidents are caused by really slow drivers, driving at 40 km/h with vast expanse of empty road right down to the horizon.

Anyway got home safely, and a home is a home even though the gate is rusty, grass is growing wild and the paint job is 'fungus green'.
