who is on mc!
Nope, I'm not faking. An infected eye, along with flu-ish symptoms. Not in the pink of health indeed. But I'm still ecstatic coz this is going to be a super short week, plus I can probably spend some quality time getting down to things that I had not managed to settle for the longest time.
The clinic staff, in their rush to close shop, changed my name to Moktu Hossain Abdul Bare on the medicine label. I huffed and puffed my way to the clinic after work, stepping in at exactly 8.25pm, 5 mins before they pulled down the shutters. This got me a beady stare from one of the middle-aged clinic receptionists who muttered 'so late' under her breath not so discreetly. At 8.30pm, my alter-ego (Hossain) snuck in under the half-closed shutters and earned greater displeasure from the two fort-holders. Everyone was in such a rush to get home. Even the doc scribbled my prescription with much haste.
The clinic called my house to apologise for the error in name, my bro told me, and to assure that the medicine dispensed had been the right ones. Not once, but twice! hoho... somehow this gives me some perverse satisfaction.
But the highlight of the day was still the donuts! Those elusive donuts that I had been hankering for! Tuck the Great queued for 2 excruciating hours and got them. And for once, he turned heads, the envy of all who passed him on the streets. I must say, they were good but still not so great that you would go back time and again and queue for hours at end!
Now now, what shall I do tml? *Grinz*
