Of course we were sad to see Linda's dad have to go through all that but what can we do? We definitely cannot afford to send him to a private hospital and he didn't have any insurance coverage as well. We were all sweating because of the heat when we stayed inside long enough. And the atmosphere in the ward can be really humid and hot indeed. It's a basic 3rd class ward with rows of beds, no TV or air-cond just a regular ceiling fan to keep you cool. My dad in law was placed in the Cempaka ward on the 2nd floor. Parkings are hard to come by in the crowded hospital and most visitors had to park around the stadium nearby. We were really lucky to find a parking spot the moment we entered the hospital. Anyway with Google Maps and mobile Internet on my phone I don't think I'll ever get lost again. It is located right smack in the city centre and all the locals should know had I asked. Not that the hospital is that hard to find. I found my way to Kota Bharu Hospital easily enough using the Google Maps application downloaded to my phone. Thank God for my Nokia E61i and Celcom Broadband though. Now I haven't been to Kota Bharu in a long time so I don't remember my way much around the state capital. We stopped in Kuala Krai to pick up Linda's sister and to fill up on fuel before stopping again in Tanah Merah for a little rest and to freshen up. Next time we'll be stopping there to just use the restroom. Yeah they probably made a handsome profit sucking our blood like that but they just loose this one customer forever. Plus drinks, the food at the R&R costs even more than at McDs. Even after my wife haggled with them about the price,they only gave us 1 ringgit less. We paid RM16.00 for 2 lousy plate of rice, 2 bowls of beef soups and a little veggies. A huge difference from what they put on the menu board. However there's only like 2 eateries open and unfortunately both of them charge near cutthroat prices for their food. One reason why we chose to stop at the Gua Musang R&R is because the restroom is pretty clean. That's from Seri Kembangan to Kuala Krai with our trunk fully loaded with stuff and 2+2 adult and children passengers. A full tank could take us 420 kilometers with our Proton Savvy. We didn't stop for a break until we reach the Gua Musang R&R area. As usual we departed to Kelantan before sunrise.
