Sunday 29th June 2008,
As I recall – today (or more or less, tonight) I am supposed to be confined at the hospital for two nights before my surgery. Those of you who are really close to me would know the surgery would be for. Anyway, yes it’s true I am ‘supposed’ to be going to the hospital tonight, but I’m not. My Dad decided not to do the surgery here in Brunei – no offence to anyone, but my Dad doesn’t trust the doctors here. So I’ll be getting my surgery when my family and I finally get to migrate in Canada. We’ll be heading off to the Philippines in December and that’s when my Mom’s relative will give me a check-up. The public dentists here in Brunei are no good either – imagine waiting in line for almost 3 hours to go in and have the dentist say “there’s nothing wrong here.” Like what the fuck much? I’m in line for surgery and that’s all they can say? I mean I had to go all the way to Canada to have my Aunt (who is a dentist by the way) say that my 2nd and wisdom molars are impacted on both sides of my lower jaw! Seriously – Brunei may be a nice place to live in, after all there’s no tax and no sign of inflation on gas prices – I mean it’s been 53.0 per litre ever since my Mom came to Brunei in 1984. However, public services suck here – and if you want better services, you have to pay a hell load more to go private, no kidding.
Anyway, tonight I’ll be heading off to Jerudong Park – I know what you guys are thinking – ‘Jerudong Park, what the heck?’ LOL, my sister has a ballet performance tonight at Jerudong Park and we’re going to have dinner there too. I guess this could account for an adventurous summer vacation? Heck no!
I seriously need adventure in my vacation...
If nothing grand like mountain climbing or water sports then at least something with a little excitement or something to get excited about...
