My sister went for a ceasarian operation today, and little Edanei was born at 3:25PM. We went to the hospital and met the happy family there. The little girl was so cute! And of course soon she will be talking and calling me uncle...

I'm definitely not a kid anymore, heh. ^^; Anyway, who wants a bubblegum cigar?

We're World Cup champions again! WOOHOOOO!!!

I recently got a bit of nostalgia for my early days of gaming, so I went, searched the web and finally downloaded F-19 Stealth Fighter and its updated version F-117 Stealth Fighter. Then I booted them up using DosBox ( Read more... )

Finally, after much struggling and hair pulling, I'm surfing the web on ADSL. Goodbye, 56k dial-up. You server me well. Now... WOOT! ^^

Except for the 3GIG monthly cap. Thanks, Telkom, for hindering South Africa into the future. >

Just when you think it's over, your medical aid (medical hinderance, in my view) comes and tells you otherwise. I recieved a bill from the dentist that I thought had been paid, but it wasn't. So it was back to the rigmarole of phoning Telemed to check up on that and any other bills. I then learned that I had to pay the portion I still owed out of ( Read more... )

This week was bitterly cold, especially Monday to Wednesday. On Monday we had heavy snowfalls for a good part of the day and on Tuesday too. Many parts of the country became blanketed in snow (not Bloemfontein, though) and the mercury dropped to the single digit Celcius level by day. I never saw this big a snowfall in my life. It's one of those ( Read more... )

It's been over two weeks now since the surgery to remove my wisdom teeth. I can now open my mouth fully and eat regular food again (yes!!), but I still need to go easy sicne there are still a few stitches left in my mouth. The mouth infection also seems to have disappeared.... I wonder if the hole in my tooth was the cause of it? Anyway, I also got ( Read more... )

On Thursday I finally, after weeks of struggles with the medical fund, went to the Rosepark Hospital in my city to undergo surgery to remove my wisdom teeth. I checked in, got into my operating gown and was wheeled on the bed to the surgery ward. It's amazing how aenathetics (sic) work: I felt them stick the needle in me, then make the injection.

Finally! I've finally sorted things out with the medical fund (and to think the cause of all my frustrations is a 9 that looks like a 5 and a busted fax machine), so today at 12:30 PM I'll be going to the hospital to get my wisdom teeth pulled. Here's hoping it is sucessful.

In the past two weeks I've discovered to my great enjoyment (note sarcasm here) of trying to work with a medical fund, in my case being one called Telemed. From the start: I discovered a hole in one of my wisdom teeth and went to one of the fund's approved doctors in the city to have a look. Sure enough, there was a big hole in the back. And let me ( Read more... )
