This is the dawn of a new era of social networking~!!!

For those who don’t know better, there’s a new service in town that will revolutionize the way we communicate with our circle of friends.

PacMee is the latest trend in the industry of social bookmarking websites. PAC stands for Personalisation, Advertisement and Communication, and Mee stands for Hokkien Mee … (don’t ask why, I won’t answer because of my pride)

Basically it is a tool that will allow you to communicate with a large number of people (depending on the number of people who’s following your account) using mobile/internet shoutouts.

Now imagine that you want to go for Bak Kut Teh tonight,

Coutesy of Malaysia Food Talk

and you want to ask 10 people to come and join you. Imagine the pain in the ass to sms/call those 10 people and ask them one by one.

With PacMee, and with your friends registered to follow your account, you just need to send a Shoutout. Then all of your friends will get the message. Only at the cost of 1 sms !!

Of course this service comes with a price, a huge price indeed, as huge as 5 oxcart wheel (because 1 sen is as big as an oxcart wheel … get it?). Yes 5 cents per Shoutout. PacMee will charge you 50 cents per 10 shoutouts.

How much is it to follow a Shoutout? RM0.25 per month. Man that’s too much!! I don’t even carry that much of coins in my pocket

So, bottom line is … is so freaking CHEAP to post and follow shoutouts. I mean a beggar can follow my shoutouts if he wants to (if he can afford a handphone in the first place)

I just got mine, and its very easy to put the widget in your website (oh did I mention you can follow PacMee online?) So if you can’t afford RM0.25 per month to subscribe to follow my Shoutouts on SMS, just hang around my website all day and wait

Been sick since Monday, starting from food poisoning to severe cough, fever & throat infection. Man, I felt so sick about all those different symptoms that I feel like creating an entirely new blog category dedicated just for it @_@.

Somehow I managed to tough it up until Thursday and I finally got to a point where I think I would end up in the hospital if I don’t take a day off to rest.

So immediately after class I went to see the doctor. It was around 10.20pm.

Blarrrdy hell !!! There’s NOT ONE clinic that opens 24 hrs in my housing area. How pethetic is that? So you mean I have to wait until the next morning then only die issit? There should be a law against this, dammit!

So I had to drive all the way to Taman Kepong to see to a doctor. And then I had to put up with some of the slowest-working nurse I’ve ever seen.

It was around 10.30pm then, so obviously there’s no one else except me. It took them a full 10 minutes to find a pen, find my record card, find the doctor, walk around, dissapear, who knows what else?

I mean come on, somebody’s dying here!! Just find my card, and let me see the doctor!! It should have taken less than 3 minutes.

Finally I got my meds, and late hour rate for my consultation fees, and dragged my ass home.

At the end of the day, I have 6 types of pills and 1 cough syrup, and it costs me RM80 in total T_T …

Managed to get a good rest today, and feeling much better. Special thanks to my mom for making sure I’m well fed with porridge.

My dinner tonight … Meat and potato porridge !!

Thank you mom !!

Moral of the story is,

Food Poisoning = Diarrhea + Vomiting
=> Throat Infection + Cough + Fever
=> 6 Pills + 1 Syrup
=> RM80

*sigh* …..
