Why is it that everybody's having meeting when I need to vent today?
Just came back from meeting with the authority of UMMC, in hoping to get permission to distribute gifts to the kids while they're asleep. Bad news. Sometimes it is better to not ask for permission and just do it. Now that I've gotten a red light from them to do it at night (along with so many other rules on no religious materials to be passed out, no praying over, no overtly playing/dressing up like Santa - this point I can't believe myself)...
Told them that I used to do it for many years as a medical student and all they can answer back was "Keadaan dah berubah"... I just had to refrain from rolling my eyes openly just now.
So I have to device a new plan. If we're only allowed to come during visiting hours, well, visiting hours it is! That way I can bring more volunteers in. Not all is lost ;o)
Arteo is now experiencing the weird sensation of powerlessness after joining the Master of Public Health programme in UM. No longer can he skip long queues in speed of light and walk through the doors of despensaries to bring home medicines to his heart's content.
Arteo still enjoys coffee tasting, describing its character in coffee jargons and pretending to know what he's talking about. Recently he's found fellowship with the weight-watchers who frequent juicebars rather than coffee joints and shamelessly brag about his newfound love for nutrient-rich beverages.
Has been wrestling with self-image issues for God only knows how long. He is currently attending the gym at FitnessFirst, and his trainer Shah will punish him if he binges on chicken from Jusco.
He is most likely listening to Jazz in his mp4 player and in his truck, and has developed a strong affinity towards Indonesian music ever since his trip to Jakarta and Bali (during his merrier days).
Not too long ago, he was trying to master the art of balloon twisting, but dropped the idea due to the fear of bursting balloons near his face. Still struggling in trying to find his Legacy, the source of his mood swings most of the time.
