mY 1st bLoG

i am on mc today...cos of stomach flu..not again i thought..


the doc says i probably caught the virus when i went to accompany zh's grandma in the A&E on sat night...and i was thinly clad...we were on our way to dinner and just as we exit lornie road, we got a call from my fil and he said that grandma is having vision problem...needs to rush to the hospital..we were told to go immediately...


reached SGH A&E and saw 6th aunt and uncle waiting outside...apparently the inner of A&E is not somewhere that everybody can access...i thought since grandma cant see (she really cant see) she must be feeling lost and so i went in and accompany her...the journey begins..when i went in to the A&E ward, i was looking around for grandma...i remember 6th aunt telling me to look out for #196...and there i saw a fragile old lady croaching on one side of the bed...she must have felt very lost...i went up and spoke to her...she told i was the "me-c" (hokkien word for nurse)..i told her i m zh's wife since i concluded she probably doesnt know my name even if i tell her...ps: grandma is already 92 years old..

while accompanying zh's grandma, i thought of my own grandma, she has just passed away in march this year due to cancer...i saw the stark  contrast in the both of them...my own grandma doesnt have as big a extended family as compared to zh's grandma...but all of us were at her side whenever she got hospitalised..its was a big affair for all of us..maybe its the family culture and the bond that we have built up over the many years..i remember how we used to spent the sat night and sunday at grandma house...

for zh's grandma, the irony is apart from 6th aunt and uncle who came to the hospital with her (plus the maid), it was me and zh that came...pa and ma came over around 9plus...and all of them left leaving grandma with me, zh, 6th aunt and the maid...

we stayed on till 2plus in the wee morning after it was confirmed that grandma has to be admited for further observation...

next day, i was sick...must have pick up the stomach flu virus from the hospital...

and now my blog is up simply cos i have the time to start learning how to set up a blogskin..thanks to the youtube tutorial and my best friend help!
