welcome to the golden ages (warga emas)

Today's the first day of Geriatrics posting. we had introductory lecture and also a tour to the Lions' Nursing Home. Its quite okay. I'm kinda having a monday blues today *sigh*.

the tour was okay. the old people were treated quite nicely there. however, I wouldnt ever want to be in a nursing home when I'm old! Its kinda distressing to be bed-ridden or incapable of taking care of oneself. and many old people got really thin they're like emaciated, probably from atrophy of the muscles from lack of use. I wanna be healthy, intelligent and still kicking ass eventhough I'm 100!

Anyways, like I've said, having a car is like having a baby. when its sick, you've got to bring it to a doctor. and Venus got some water from the flood in her, but thank God the engine's not affected. So, Sarah and I went to find the mechanic to, i dunno, clean things up. and there's not many mechanics that we know of who handles with the cleaning of flooded cars, so its reaaaally reaaally hard to find one. so sarah and I drove to a ordinary car wash, thinking they could just vacuum out the water or something, but found out they couldnt do anything about it, then the guy there gave us directions to another place, however, the directions lead us to nowhere, and we had to turn around and drive and drive and drive. then we went back to our college, and En Ismuni gave us another directions to another car place, and we drove there, got lost, drove and drove until we found the place. however its filled with the suspicious looking, you know, kinda like wasted drop-outs (im sorry to be discriminating, but first impressions are kinda important), and we got out of there after hearing they wanted to peel off the carpets to clean up the water (it really does sound creepy!).

then, we called Dr. Aliza, and she helped us to get a mechanic whom she's trusted with her car since forever, and we drove and drove and drove again until we found the place. found out they're gonna peel off the seats and carpets to clean up the mess. however, the guy was pretty friendly, and since the doc trusted him, so we decided to go for it. its really kinda distressing to see our car being like, torn apart! >.<>.<;

All in all, today is a very looong, looong day...
