The holidays and the surgery

The holidays had started off being quite slow and boring, as my mum and bro have to work until the end of the year, which means no holidays. *sigh* Nevermind that. As usual, being so free at home, I was tasked to do chores around, catch up with sleep, more sleep, stuck on the internet and brought out a little gaming in me.

Last weekend, I did hang out with my buddies Julian and Raja, since Raja came back from the UK for a couple of weeks here. Like the old days, we roamed around town searching for places to have lunch but most of them are closed since its Boxing day after Christmas. We somehow ended up with dim sum at the Quality hotel. We then proceeded to Subang Parade to do Julian's iPhone jailbreak mission, and man it was hard! The 2-hour process was complicated, but with the help of Mr. Google and the internet connection at the Coffee Bean, solutions were found. The result: a happy face and a phone that's working fine, which otherwise would have been bricked and serves no purpose other than an iPod. :p

Being so outdated in the gaming arena, I updated myself with a couple of new titles. Mafia 2 and NFS: Hot Pursuit 2010. While at the Gamers Hideout, I've pre-ordered the Test Drive Unlimited 2, which is soo gonna be the game of 2011!

Then comes Adnan's sugical procedure (or we know as a small operation) yesterday. He was scheduled to be admitted to the IJN on Monday, and his surgery was done on Tuesday morning. The Tuanku Sultan Perak came to visit him, but Tuanku was late by a bit after Adnan had went in for his surgery around 8.45. After years of not meeting Tuanku in person, it felt awkward if not weird, utterly full of protocol, but was a great honour. We had a simple breakfast and chat and I had to sit next to the Tuanku.

By around 9.30 or so, Adnan was out and back to his ward, which was pretty fast. My mum arrived at the hospital from work on time too, and Alhamdulillah, it went well. He felt dizzy at first, but his appetite came later on and he was eating all out. I had to accompany him for 2 days at the hospital and I had to eat hospital food as well, which surprisingly not too bad! The doctors and nurses were praising him for being such a positive character, as he was smiling all the time. I have to admire his braveness. If I would have to undergo a surgical procedure like him, I would probably die in fright! hahaha

Today, he was scheduled to be discharged from the hospital, and hopefully he will be able to go back to his college at UPM for his 4th semester this 4th Jan.

You have a sink, a TV and some chairs, such boredom!

The machine which annoyingly beeps all the time!
