Don't want to be Hospitalized
20th September 2007, Thursday
Recently my in-laws went for a vacation in Thailand (most probably not Phuket, after the 1-2-Go Budget airline crash) which has been a long time making especially with my father-in-laws long-wrangled in his court case and perhaps finally got a satisfactory payment...
Little did they expected, their precious youngest offspring, Gibson was hit by a bout of high fever which peaked at 39 degree Celsius, which hampered their travel plan a bit...
Since my young brother-in-law (22 to be exact, not that young anymore) is pretty reliant on his family to take care of him through illness and most importantly his meals, so the best possible option was to hospitalized him since his older brother simply doesn't have to time to take care of him...
It's kinda sad that one could not give a hoot of his own well-being and such reliance on others to keep a tab on you perhaps is not a sign of independance...
I myself is a mommy boy but at least I know the basic rule to seeking food or medicine to get me back on my feet again...
Anyway my missus was quite worked up by her brother's continual ignorance of his own health yet worried sick for him, and went to see him on the first day of hospitalization...
I went last evening to visit him and seemingly beside niggling sore throat and persistent coughing, he should be all fine in a couple of days time...
He stayed in the inferior Type B Ward which lacks basic amenities (at least to me) of air conditioning and a television set..and shared the rather spacious ward with 4 other aged men, not the most ideal environment to recuperate...
I believe being a full-time national service man, he surely is warranted a better health package than this, then again knowing him he should be oblivious to it and couldn't care more...
This is exactly why one should take good care of one's health or at least invest on a good medical insurance...
I would go crazy to be warded in such a place...once again I have to emphasize how pampered I am...
Well let's hope Gibson gets back to his full health soon, and not let everyone worried too much about him...
With the Japan trip a good one and a half months away, 2 issues sort of bother me a bit...
Firstly the yen rate, as the Liberal Democratic Party will be deciding between Azo Taro or Fukuda Yasuo as the successor of Abe Shinzo who stepped down from the Prime Minister role last week; coupled with the bull run in the global stock market, I'm afraid the yen rate might surge in uncanny fashion very soon...
The good thing is that I had changed a great bulk of the spending dough the last time round and will be changing a bit more just in case...let's hope it stay the rate as it is or lower soon...
Secondly, the weather....
It is going to end of September and seemingly Tokyo and Osaka are still in the midst of the arid summer heat... Perhaps it is an usual meteorological phenomenon but I was expecting for temperatures to go down to assimilate for the autumn season...
As we know fall is transient in Japan, and I really hope it doesn't come too late this year because the red leaves in Kyoto will be one of the major feature of this trip...
Perhaps I am just thinking way too much...
Caught up with a few friends over MSN during these 2 days of nondescript period at work...
With the fact that the Japan-loving clique meeting up on coming Saturday, I took the liberty to give a shout out at Howe who I haven't seen ot speak with since my wedding last year...
Still being an IT specialist in a LCD fixing company, Howe still not short of the humor that he is so famous for...
My buddy who is enjoying an Indian summer that comes to early after resignation from his job was preparing a new portfolio for his next career move...
So basically he is camped at home indulging in his favorite console games and making up lost time...
Wish him all the best with his future endeavors but it's apparently the passion for gaming among us wreckers has surely been rekindled (as if it has ever been smothered)
The biggest news to me this very day is Jose Mourinho being sacked by the Chelsea board...
The writings had been on the wall for a while now as the episode of the arrogant Mourinho crossing sword with Chelski Russian billionaire chairman, Abramovich has been blown out of proportion...
His blatant loss of faith in star signings made by the latter such as Ballack & Shevcnenko surely didn't goes down well with the Russian ruler...
This doesn't spell well for Chelsea especially with the clash with my beloved Red Devils mere days away...though unlikely with the Blues' caliber, but I do hope a whipping at Old Trafford will be a turnaround for Man Utd's stuttering start of the season with only a lame 5 goals scored so far in 8 games played in all competitions...
Love it or hate it, Mourinho is a colorful character which will be sorely miss in English football; and his pedigree will guarantee him a job in no time especially one which the board will not meddle too much into his everyday managerial chores...
Fergie, Wenger and Benitez will surely relish playing mind games with him in the future...

Japanese word of the day: 入院 (Hospitalization) My ideal ward should include a PC with internet & Football manager, a home theater system, a 32 inch LCD TV, PS3, Wii, a fridge stock with my favorite juices and desserts and most importantly air con!
