In reel life, when someone is admitted to A&E, the next scene would be the ward they are in; which takes a minute.

In real life, when someone is admitted to A&E, the next scene would be the ward they are in; after a few hours of waiting.

My lil’ sister woke me up today and told me that my ah ma has to be admitted to the hospital (as advised by the doctor in the polyclinic). As per last visit to the hospital, which was on the 15th Nov, her sodium level is low, blood pressure is low and the red blood cell count is low. Thus the doctor in the polyclinic advised her to stay at the hospital till she gets better. But as usual, my ah ma refused to. And after my elder sis’s persuasion, she obliged. You know these days old people can be as stubborn as a bull. So I decided to take half day leave to accompany my Daddy and Ah Ma.

We reached NUH at about 11.50a.m, I helped Ah Ma to do some registration and the nurse pushed her in to do some blood test. The doctor told us the result would be out in about 2 hours time. And at 12.55noon, the nurse called me and told me that they just completed her blood test and what we have to do now is to W A I T. I don’t think we have much options. So I have to call Lawrence at 3p.m when my Ah Ma’s blood test result was still not released. Lawrence told me to take whole day leave today. So I continue to wait till the doctor call me at 3.45p.m about the blood test result. And the last step was to wait for my Ah Ma to be pushed into the a ward. So we have wait for a bed availablity. And my relative say: “Aiyah, no choice one. NUH is really popular.”. Ok, being ‘popular’ is not an excuse for being so slow. So that was another 2 hours before we finally see Ah Ma at her ward. So I was at the hospital since 11.50a.m till 9p.m. Oh well. I have to wait, because she’s my grandmother who watch me grow. So she talked about my boyfriends. She don’t really like the previous boyfriends I had previously, because they were really small build compared to the other guys. And my Ah Ma says, this current boyfriend of mine, is better (boyfriend, you don’t read this liao and start to hao lian hor), but personality else, I have to find out myself. But I have total trust in my Dearest. =]

My cute little niece come to visit Ah Ma as well. And she can speak Pa Pa, Ma Ma.. or something like that. And… she seems to like TOM YUM SOUP. LOL.
