What we did today.. and am still
Her other hand is holding a DS
Yesterday there was a lake in the dining room in the other apartment, and the wall between the kitchen and the dining room had water seeping out of it. The paint had blistered, small dots to ones the size of saucers, and was peeling off. The water was turned off at the mains but I had blanched, visions of my downstairs neighbours-to-be's wiring, ducting, and ceiling insulation immersed in water floating round my head. Then I came home to find my son back from army camp laid out, face white beneath his tan and lips blue. We went to ER at Tan Tock Seng. Normally I'd leave him passed out at home, but these days there's something called the H1N1 virus. Ambulances were rolling up. Under a huge tent were rows of trolley beds (which I found out were called 'Stryker beds'), wheelchairs (which are 'trolleys'), staff with masks on. Everyone had masks on. Soon we too. M'boy was trundled off to registration, went to two examination rooms before he finally was seen to by a doctor, upon which he was to be warded for monitoring. He refused (all this time he insisted he wasn't as sick as we thought, inbetween passing out). Anyway home he came, armed with MCs and a letter of remonstration of his not staying in from the doctor for his army medical unit. And it was m'girls birthday!! Poor baby.
