been sick since saturday. got this bad lung infection. still on medication. first day in the office today. and it's already friday.

greetings from pangkor laut. been here since saturday. this place is generally good. it's a private island. we can have privacy in the villas. the services are impecable; the staff smile are pleased to serve and always wear a smile. transportation from one point to another is provided; just call and a van or a four-wheel drive will pick us up.

there is a small bay, called the emerald bay. the water is emerald in colour. i had the chance to track down and crack open rock oysters on the beach; those were the freshest oysters i ever ate.

i'm heading down south to kl later in the day. god willing, i'll be back to this place in one year's time.

talked to dad this afternoon. he's gonna be discharged later this afternoon. told him that i planned to drive up north after office today but he insisted that he's gonna be ok (typical response).

anyway, i'm going to see him this friday, god willing. i don't want to look back and regret anything. he's my dad. there's only one like him in this whole world.

dad called yesterday morning telling me he's having a fever. he asked if the house renovation and i told him it's completed and offered to fly him in to stay over.

got news from sis this morning that dad is in the hospital. called mom and she said not to worry (of course ...), so i'm on standby to bolt to north on a very short notice.

i hope my dear father is getting better.

have i told you that jerry is actually geri? i discovered jerry's a female a day after i posted the story about it.
