Friends In The Psycho Ward

Recently, my grandfather was admitted into the psycho ward in HUKM for observation. He has something that`s called vascular dementia. It`s almost like Alzheimer`s disease. So he forgets things. He doesn`t remember me. Sometimes he throws tantrums for no apparent reason. That`s why they had to admit him.

The first step I took into the ward, I was a bit afraid. What else can you think about a psycho ward? A ward full of psychos. I was like paranoid when I entered. Looking at their faces. It really was scary. Maybe it was because I was wearing shades. I don`t know. There were people screaming and shouting. This one guy who I call TAIKO was a patient from Tanjung Rambutan. I called him Taiko because he was the only one who was wearing jeans and was giving orders to other patients.

Anyway, at first I was scared of them. They looked like dimwitted people whose heads are empty. But soon after, I got to know a little a bit about them and found out some interesting things.

• One patient was under influence of ICE. So he is always quiet at times except in the evenings. In the evenings, he will always sing for no apparent reason.
• One chinese patient was in the ward for something(I don`t know. I was afraid to ask) he did that was against the law. The thing is, he let his friends get away with it but he stayed behind for no apparent reason.
  
• One patient was in for depression. But I noticed that he kept smiling for no reason. One time, he hid under his sheets and masturbated. I was like,"uh,ok"weird bugger

I made friends with the Taiko who was a lot of fun. Lots of funny stories. The chinese patient also became my friend. He was also very funny. But there was one patient who was bipolar. That guy has some problems. He tried to escape then the Medical Assistant aprehanded him and restrained him to his bed. I was worried he would attack people for no reason. He also managed to piss off Taiko. He hit the bipolar with a ping pong bat. Oh yeah, did I mention these psychos were good at ping pong?(HAHA)

So basically it was fun hangin around in the psycho ward. But I surely don`t want to be there for a long time. ehhehh..
