Medical Jokes

Come to me three times a week, and I'll cure your fears
Shakey went to a psychiatrist. "Doc," he said, "I've got trouble. Every time I get into bed, I think there's somebody under it. I get under the bed, I think there's somebody on top of it. Top, under, top, under. "you gotta help me, I'm going crazy!"

"Just put yourself in my hands for two years," said the shrink. "Come to me three times a week, and I'll cure your fears."

"How much do you charge?"

"A hundred dollars per visit."

"I'll sleep on it," said Shakey.

Six months later the doctor met Shakey on the street. "Why didn't you ever come to see me again?" asked the psychiatrist.

"For a hundred buck's a visit? A bartender cured me for ten dollars."

"Is that so! How?"

"He told me to cut the legs off the bed!"

KK trip Day 4

The trip had to end eventually and on Sunday morning, after breakfast, we all proceeded to check out of the hotel (not before a last-minute trip to Starbucks for some =p). We left the hotel at approximately 10am. The trip back home was admittedly much longer than anticipated with many Brunei-registered vehicles making their way back home after the long weekend. Nonetheless, we made the most of the bus trip, whether to play games, watch a movie, or basically just catching on our sleep. Seit had quite a surprise when an advanced birthday cake was presented to her on the bus! All in all, we arrived back in IM about 9pm.

Our last breakfast at the hotel

Dr Fiza, in charge of checking all of us out of the hotel

Once again, I would like to take the opportunity to thank the organisers for the trip, Dr Nurol and Dr Fiza as well as Kenny for making sure we did what we wanted to do on the trip. Thanks to Karthik as well for showing us around his hometown. A big thanks to Aswir as well for handling our passports/immigration stuff! All of us really enjoyed the trip and maybe who knows, we'll make this an annual one albeit to a different destination maybe ;)

p/s: I would also like to acknowledge the people who took the photos that I posted up; (Edah, Jon, Michelle) I hope you guys don't mind me "grabbing" the photos you posted on facebook and put them up here.
