My brother Faiz has had fever since last Wednesday. So he went to the Serdang Hospital to get himself checked. He waited for 2 hours for his turn to come but they never did. So angered and exasperated, Faiz drove all the way to the Putrajaya Hospital next. It took him less than 30 minutes to see the doctor who also took his blood sample for further tests.

Today Faiz got admitted into the Putrajaya Hospital because they suspect he's been infected with dengue. My family members from near and far came to visit him today who looked really weak and can barely talk. To say that Hospital Serdang suck would be an understatement. I have heard numerous complaints from many people who had some kind bad experience or another there. Top of the list would be the ridiculously long waiting time. I took my 2 year old son there once because he sprained his shoulder and we waited for nearly 2 hours to see the intern. First class infrastructure but third world mentality would best describe Serdang Hospital.

I just realised that I don't have any passport-sized photos for my registration tomorrow on Sunday. It's been ages since I needed to register for anything. So I went down to Serdang today to have my picture taken. There was to photo studio to choose from when I got there and somehow I chose YS Foto Studio on my right.

Which proved to be a mistake. The shop stinks, literally. When I went inside to the studio, I can smell a foul odour emitting from inside. I suspect it came from the toilet and I can smell it everywhere inside the shop. And just my luck, the photographer took his own sweet time to snap my picture.

After the photo shoot, he took another 15 minutes to process and Photoshop my picture, you know to remove eye bags, bleak heads and touch up here and there. He used an old but still cool-looking Mac computer and some fancy tablet pen thingy. I've got to get my hand on that graphic tablet someday. Fortunately my suffering ended once he printed my pictures, 4 copies for RM13.00. So ladies and gentlemen, you might want to try the other photo studio when you come to Serdang.

Today we went to the tailor's to cut our baju Melayu dress for the upcoming Hari Raya. Yes I know, Raya is like 2 month away but it's never to early to do these things. Come Puasa, some of these tailors might not even accept new orders because they are fully booked.

We surveyed a few tailors from Sentul to Serdang before deciding to cut our dress at Aden Tailoring right here in Serdang. They offer a real affordable price, RM80.00 for adults and RM65.00 for kids about Adam's age (5 years old). Of course we already bought our own fabric from Nilai 3 before. Some tailors ask from RM90.00 to RM100.00 for both adults and kids which are clearly cutthroat prices. Visit Aden's Tailor at No 37G, Jalan 18/34 Serdang (in front of Padang) or call 019-3591617.
