Buttock Abscess

My dad was diagnosed with Buttock Abscess by his GP. Mom called us up and told us that dad needed surgery immediately as recommended by the GP. Gosh! This is going to be a nightmare for my dad who is so afraid of going to the hospital, which old folk doesn't?

We were suppose to go out for lunch appointment with our friends. Since we have to go for the emergency surgery to resolve the buttock abscess, we are left with no choice but to postpone our lunch appointment. Dad was actually referred to TTSH but I suggested to go to Alexandra Hospital as TTSH have a horrendous waiting time for the A&E department. Moreover, AH (Alexandra Hospital) is renown for having senior doctors who do consultation instead of MOs. This would be more productive as senior doctors can quickly diagnose patient's condition and direct patient to the right department for treatment.

Anyway, it was a quick session at the A&E for my dad. Jack and Olive Tree sent dad to AH. We did not go to AH with them and stayed at my mom's with Jurnus till they return from hospital. Dad was admitted immediately. Had his surgery done at 8.30pm, lasting 1.5hrs. Though mom looks cool about it, I think she is very concern about dad, whether dad can take the surgery. Everyone knows that dad is so afraid of such medical treatment, surgery. Prayed to the Lord for comforting of dad and healing. AMEN!

Dad will be coming over to our place for recuperation. Good for his rest. He still commented that on mid autumn festival, people are celebrating with families and he has to stay in hospital. Walau! He should have not bore with the pain in the buttock till now, otherwise he won't have to spend his mid autumn festival in hospital, right?? Was telling mom, dad really "buttock itchy".

top of the M

Captured on the night when we had our very first dining experience at Top of the M . The occasion: celebrate Jon's Birthday. It's Seth very first experience, but obviously to him, it's just like any kind of dinner. As for me, I've to wait for 3 decades to be able to have such an experience! bwhaahhaha....what a funny thought. The restaurant has such a quiet ambience and at certain times, Seth was bubbling so loudly that we were so embarrassed. The waiters and waitresses were so nice to come over and play with Seth. One even offered chocolate truffles filled with mint ice cream for Seth! Too bad, my darling son don't know how to appreciate and those went into our tummies instead. (**,) You can see he enjoyed himself loads. Playing and being entertained. He was even entertained by the live strings group (or whatever you call that) with "You are my sunshine" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars". That amazed him! We had a dinner set for 4 of us.

What have I been doing?

Yes, I've been really busy. How did all these started, the digi SB, the addiction, the hunger for more ideas and all this equivalent to more time spent in front of my lappy. (I shall give my lappy a name....Let's just call it MoS) How does it sound? Aiya, anyway, it's my lappy, how I wanna name it, my prerogative. BB Seth was doing CIO training for more than a week already. He is still crying in the nights, we kinda of give up letting him cry in the wee hours and I continue to give him 1-2 times feeds. SO much of crying, that his double eyelids for his left eye popped out already. Poor guy. The routine now is, he'll cry a bit till he dozed off at 9-9.30pm. So, we'll have free time to do what we need to. (chores seems to be the utmost priority) However, I've been such an addiction to the board and SB(Scrap-booking) , I didn't do much and poor Olive Tree got to do it. Anyway, I did sweeping and mopping yesterday and have contributed to the house chores. (**,)...

A fruitful week

Yes, I've went for my interview with the prospecting company and I am relieved that everything went on pretty well and I finally stepped out of my comfort zone as a SAHM. :D How fruitful was the week? Hmmm. These are the things I've done: 1. Went to IT show and got myself the ink cartridges for my HP Photosmart 2575, the TwinMOS 1GB SD with free Card Reader/Writer . Shopped till I nearly dropped! 2. Went for the interview and managed to catch up with ex-colleagues. 3. Purchased an IKEA SET Workstation! Fantastic and great for storing my SB Stuffs and doing SB works. It's really value for money. Was selling @ $365, now on sale, selling @ $145! There were some hiccups when we bought the the SET Workstation at IKEA. When we reached home and I was eager to get Olive Tree to assemble the workstation, we found out that the hardwares were not in the package! Totally a wet blanket! Next day, we had to drop by IKEA again to get the hardwares and IKEA was apologetic enough for the m...
