NEWater and Science Centre Water works.

Went on a trip with 6F to the Science Centre and the NEWater plant this morn.

The NEWater was quite nice, just not enough toilets on the outside or rather can't find one, but the facade and the ambiance was great. With fountains and ... air conditioned exhibition or lecture halls.

The Water works at the Science Centre was fun. By the end of the session, 38 out of 42 pupils were drenched even the socks . Some girls were smart to take off their skirts, and went with their shorts before they got wetter. But man were they wild. Splashing water everywhere and at anybody, waiting for the tank to be filled and thus spill onto the floor etc. Will see if I can post some pics next time.

The only complains is that there were not enough time and loads of travel time on the bus.
Still ,we can't have everything.

Physiotherapy Trouble

Mom was discharged from TTSH on Monday. I was supposed to pick her up. So I rescheduled my appointments so that I can be there at the agreed time, 5 pm. at 4.30pm she called up and told me that her friend is with her and she wants to come out. I was in the middle of a meeting and so I couldn't talk too long. So I instructed her to get all the necessary documents and instructions before she left for home. And she agreed

At about 5 my wife came to pick me up and we went to have dinner.

It was later that I found out that she was sent home without a referral letter for physiotherapy, or another appointment for the doc!!!. i mean she can't even walk properly!!!

Today I just brought her to the Polyclinic to see the doc and see what he can do. He referred us to level 3 where there is a day care for the elderly, with physiotherapy. Not physiotherapy only! i mean why she want a day care when she just got out of the working "prison" (retired) not too long ago.

So we went back to the doc and he wrote a letter for a physiotherapy at ttsh. And the earliest appointment date is 13 nov. I mean that's like in 3 weeks time.!! So I got fedup and called TTSH Ward 10A to yell. And finally after much ding dong, we got a physiotherapy session appointment next week 31 october. Sigh. Talk about much to do about an appointment.

Discharged

Mom was finally discharged yesterday. She said she is a lot better, and am eager to start to cook dinner tonight. (Tuesday nights we go to her home for dinner). Aww man. Talk about active elderly who can't put it down. Finally told her that I am doing dinner tonight. Sigh. What to do, my mom what.

Then today I am suppose to bring her to the Polyclinic to see the doc. And when I called her to get ready, she said that it was tomorrow!!! Sigh. And she was right for I missed the 3 letters "tmr" on the message that my sister sent me.

So went back to school to clear some more work. Did the remarks for 6F, and gave it to Maria. Let's hope that she will give it an all clear and I can get it out of my list of thing to be done.

Recovering

Man was I concerned about mom's condition.
Turned out, it was a mild stroke.
After the medication, she said she is feeling good as new,
and ready to go cheong again. Wah kao!!!
60 plus already still want to cheong.
oh well, as long as she is fit enough, she should know,
and there's are people around her to take care of her,
I suppose it's ok.

Still will be praying non-stop especially if she is overseas now.

Stroke

Just received news that mom had a mild stroke. Man was I worried.
So after dinner we, Jo and I went to TTSH to see her.
She is sortta ok. Was smsing on her phone.
Will be going into the theatre for a MRI scan.
So will have to wait for the scan and the results.

Am rather worried, I mean, who won't be.
Still will trust that she is in God's loving hands.
Pray for her speedy recovery.

Promotion

After 5.5 years of waiting, I finally got promoted to the next bar in the salary scale. Yea!!!

Well the next bar will be another half a decade?
hopefully sooner but I somehow don't think so.
They don't give me a D grade can already. Hee :)

I am thankful. That this comes 2.5 years earlier. Yea Sq. !!

Last Day of PSLE Marking.

Man it is finally here -- the day that I have been waiting for -- The end of PSLE Marking.
It was so tiring, just sitting on my butt the whole day and mark stuff that I don't totally agree as correct or wrong. Arghh...

Well at least next week we will be back in school.
Hmmm.. wondering how the class is doing. Bored stiff???
Probably having cobwebs on their hair already.

Next week's we're gonna be back with non-stop activities.
Little India trip, Baking classes, Science Centre, and what have we ...
I thought it was going be non-stop idle till OPA?!!! Still I am not the boss.
They will decide on the programmes.
