Appt at NCC

Spent a day at NCC going throught ultrasound scan, mammography and then biopsy. The most gruelling of the three procedures is the mammography and as if it wasn't bad enough, I had to undergo twice in the same morning. As a lump of abt 2 cm in size showed up in the scan, I had to undergo the biopsy. Results will only be out after 2 weeks. So I went for a jog with Richard in the evening and will be back to work tomorrow.

Chaos

Rather chaotic at home. So went for a jog and felt much better.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dread tomorrow when mother is discharged. It's going to disrupt our schedule. Father has packed his things and said would drop by to do grocery shopping for us. Hope we can cope. If my test results is positive, she's going to be added stressor to me. Hope it turns out fine. sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Kindergarten Years

Had flashbacks about my kindergarten days. The kindergarten class I attended was run by the "Barisan Socialis", a left-wing political party. The school was located at the ground floor of a shop house at Tras Street. A small tailoring shop shielded the school from public view. Teachers at the school were Chinese speaking, and their political views were pro-communist. Students were taught to sing praises of Mao Zedong, and performed songs and dances the Cultural Revolution way. During outings, we were told to repeat slogans proclaiming Cultural Revolution. We followed blindly without understanding anything. It was much later in my teens when I was more exposed to political history that I made out what those slogans were about. I can still vividly remember some of these.

COSFEST 2010

Alyssa was all excited about going to the Cosfest 2010 at Downtown East. So after sending the kids for swimming lesson and visited mother during lunch, I brought her to the Cosfest. It was all worth it because her favourite Naruto Characters were there. Spent about three hours at the Cosfest and headed home.

Hectic day

Today had been quite hectic:
Medical Appt early in the morning;
Rushed home and sent Alyssa to Piano Class;
Managed to get a pair of shoes during the hour;
Rushed her to church, but realised that the meeting was over;
Guessed I did not have sufficient time to go to SGH,
so went home and did my 5 km.

Visited SGH

Visited mother at SGH. She had been admitted after a fall. X-ray results weren't made known yet. But saw that she was cheerful because Terence was there. Mother had told everyone else that I was angry with her for going home on her own after staying over at my place for a couple of days recently(HUH ?????). In her eyes, I'm always the one who dislikes her, argued with her etc. I don't give a damn about what she thinks and I'm quite immune to all these. So Sharon and I just laughed it off. Terence said just let her do whatever she likes.
