Okay, I'm ready to talk about the events that happened over the weekend.
Friday I took leave to take care of mom's every needs as she stayed home to recuperate from her fibroid procedure. She was already fine & back to her normal self by the time i went to see her at NUH on Thursday. Her procedure was at 11.30 and lasted 2.5 hours. Before she went into the operating theatre, she sms me to say that the nurses would call me to let me know which ward she will be. So i waited. After 2, my brother Dennis msg'd me to inform me of her ward no. Why had they not called me? So i decided to ring the hospital number which she gave me. Nurse said i should call the theatre nurses' ward coz that's where mom is. So i rang the new number and they told me that she's resting in the operating theatre waiting to be wheeled to her bed. "We will call you once she's warded", they said. Okay, so i waited & waited....still no call. Decided to call back and they asked me to ring another number which is her bed phone. So i rang that and finally someone picked up. It wasn't mom. Instead this lady was muttering something about 'the patient is not warded in here'...so i was abit confused. Apparently it was a nurse who picked up the phone and i found out from her that mom had not arrived to her ward yet. So my question was: Why ask me to ring that number when they had not even warded her. Obviously, there was some kind of communication breakdown between the nurses. Finally, managed to get her at 4-ish. What an ordeal!
So Friday I had an early start. Left home at 9am to go supermarket to get groceries to cook for mom. Sis-in-law sms me in the morning to say that Amanda did not go to school coz she woke up late and looked very tired. And since i'm on leave, she suggested i bring Amanda, Samuel & maid Marina home in the afternoon with mom. Not a good idea...coz mom needs REST. So instead, I just picked up Amanda to visit 'Ah Niang' (Grandma) at the hospital. Mom called to say she can be discharged after lunch. So home i went with 4 bags of groceries and it was pouring with rain that day! Haven't cooked for such a long time....not that i'm rusty but just had to re-acquaint myself with the kitchen again. Lucky thing, Calvin was there to help with cutting of vegetables. Oh, Amanda helped too! She helped make Ah Niang's medicine soup for her. Cooked the fish slices that's good for healing with ginger & spring onion, stir-fried french beans and potato/tomato soup. Finished cooking at 12, mom called at 12.15 to say that she was starving. She fasted since Wednesday and had not eaten a proper since then. She chowed down the food and said it was the best meal she ever had! Not that my cooking was fantastic...more like she was too hungry. ;p End up all of us ate in the hospital with my cooking and the hospital food combined.
After a long wait, mom finally checked out at about 1.30pm. we went home and i put amanda to sleep for her afternoon nap. Left together with Calvin to dive shop. Stayed there till about 5 then had to rush to Serangoon Road to drop off some old clothes to a women's shelter. traffic along serangoon is mad! By the time i got home it was already almost 6pm. Back in the kitchen again to cook dinner for mom.
whole day was a mad rush. In the evening, i had to squeeze in some time to visit Cat at KK hospital as she had just given birth to baby Joash the night before. Was the last visitor when everyone had left...and managed to catch Joash as his mummy was wheeling him to the baby's nursery. He sure has a big head of hair and very black too! just like his mummy's CB hair! hahaahah...not so curly though. Still hard to tell who he looks like...we'll have to wait till he's about a month old! So happy for Cat & Han San...they must be such proud parents...especially Cat coz she used to always complain about her biological clock ticking. Brought amanda with me to visit them...and she was making a hell of a lot of noise singing, and chatting a lot. I could tell Cat & Jeff were not too happy with her noise-making...but i said to them...'you're just gonna have to get used to it...your time will surely come'.
Left them at about 9.30pm and brought amanda home. She was obviously very tired....couldn't walk straight....and asked me to carry her. That's a sign of tiredness..haha.
Well that was my Friday...packed & chock-a-block!
Saturday was slightly more relaxing till the monsters came. So whole afternoon was spent looking after them. Poor samuel fell down from mom's bed after his nap. He fell flat on his nose and was crying so loud that it was so painful to see. Had to quickly check him to make sure he's okay...no broken bones or cuts or bleeding. After about 5 mins of crying hard, we noticed his nose was bleeding slightly. so mom insisted that he go to the clinic. Both parents were out running errands, so i took him to the clinic together with marina. He was okay after that. Lucky doc said nothing serious. Poor baby...this wasn't the first time he's fallen either. He's fast! Started to crawl already and has a small little tooth slowly creeping out. These little ones just grow so fast.
Now looking for a nice blog skin but still trying to figure out how to download the skins. Still so much refurbishing to do.
preferably, if i could customize my own...but that could take a while.
Yippeee....geoff helped me to load some new games into my PSP...and got rid of the not-so-fun games. So now, i'll have to decide what game i wanna play tomorrow. ;p
so many things to decide in the mornings....what clothes to wear, what accessories to use, what shoes to wear, what eye shadow color to use, what bag to carry......what game to play on PSP!!!

That's all for 2nite. So sleeeeeepy.
