Day off Work

My eyes have been causing problems for me over the past week and today I came down with 'Pink Eye'. Pink Eye, both in Canada and Malaysia is an automatic get out of school for a while disease. I went to a clinic, walked in and the Doc asked what are you here for and I said 'Pink Eye' and she said yes, good diagnosis, wrote me out 2 prescriptions, and a MC (medical certificate) for 2 days off work. Pink Eye is pretty contagious :-) It is a malaysian law that requires a MC if you miss school or work for any time. I think the law exists because their are too many doctors and they can't make enough money. It is pretty easy to get qualified as a doctor in many parts of the world so it is very good that Canada does not let them practice until they recertify in Canada.

So, I left work, walked back home, and spent horizontal time catching up on my Zzzzz's and then read for a little while. Every 2 hours the antibiotic eye drops go in and tonight I get to spread some antibiotic cream on my eye lids. Should be great fun.

Not much has changed since yesterday. I am reading the final (book 10) of a great fantasy series called 'The Malazan Book of the Fallen'. It is highly recommended if you are into Science Fantasy, but if you are just starting out, the 'Sword of Truth' or 'Sword of Shannara' series are much more apporachable for newbies.

I get to sleep in tomorrow so I guess I will read late tonight.

I get my high speed internet installed on the 28th of April and it gives me 20 MBS upload and download guaranteed due to the fact it is fibre. However, once I leave their network and head across to Canada or the USA the speed usually drops off but I am still able to stream movies, sports, and television shows immediately. Do we have fibre to the home in Canada yet? Malaysia is a country of contrasts, no pollution checks of cars, 2 stroke motorcycles, mega malls, and fibre to your home.

TTYL,

Jim
