[Monday, 25 September, 2006] I was shocked to see the appointment date on the paper for my physiotherapy during the weekends as I keyed the date into my website’s calendar. The nurse told me it was a Monday but the calendar showed it was a Tuesday. I checked the date of my computer and finally …

Farewell to the fun and sorrowful place
[Friday, 22 September, 2006] After sleeping for two hours, I woke up suddenly with Yixin and Cecilia by my side. Yixin was laughing craftily as they walked off. I was not sure did they do anything to wake me up or I just felt the danger and got up to save myself. With the frame, …
Second chalet day
[Wednesday, 21 September, 2006] I woke up as early as five plus in the morning. Then, I waited for my mum to come as she promised to get me breakfast. The nurse came and asked me to take a seat on the chair while she prepared my bed. I tried to get down and hurt …
The first hospitalised night
[Wednesday, 20 September, 2006] When I was left alone on the bed, I seemed like a worthless corpse. The worst thing I would ever want to do was to bother the nurses and thus I did dare to drink water. I did not even move my leg in case the wound would worsen. The greatest …
The operation
[Wednesday, 20 September, 2006] Towards the dreadful nightmare, I felt lost out of a sudden. Morning was taking a cab to block five and then proceeding to the admission office. After reporting to my ward, I was left with waiting. For almost two hours, I lay down on the bed doing nothing. It was an …
Day of the Pre-Admission Tests
[Friday, 15 September, 2006] The most dreadful time arrived finally and I knew I had to take the blood test no matter what. But there was a short queue in front of me and then I saw this very old lady being wheeled inside the room and a sudden emotion struck me. She was so …
Pre-Admission testing date changed
[Wednesday, 13 September, 2006] The nightmare of the sleeping hour continued. Another thing I could not understand about my mum was that she insisted to switch on the air-con at night despite the heavy electricity bill. My elder brother was careless about the two hundreds plus dollars bill after using the air-con even during noon …
The operation date was set
[Tuesday, 05 September, 2006] Finally I got to know my operation’s date for my left calf – Thursday, 21 September, 2006. I arrived at Clinic “C” twenty-five minutes earlier and waited for more than half an hour before my number was called. I knew that I would be able to go in quite early (compared …
Singapore General Hospital makes mistake
[Thursday, 31 August, 2006] I never liked the fact that my mum tagging me along for medication appointments unless I was in a situation when the doctors might think I was “Chao Keng” and thus the companion of parent by the side was greatly appreciated. I knew for sure there would be definitely restriction to …
Towards operation
[Monday, 28 August, 2006] It was another visit to the Singapore Waiting Hospital. I was twenty minutes earlier but I waited for more than an hour. The young specialist recognised me but I found him more familiar, probably at the beach. He was surprised to see me for the lump on my calf as he …
