De one with Hospital visit

Rainless Sunday

Got a shock? It's not me being hospitalised! Instead, I paid my uncle a visit at SGH this early afternoon, with the accompany of my cousin, Jasmine.

Early morning had a fulfilling 8km run. And I feel lighter today. Haha. Unfortunately, Jasmine bought Nasi Lemak for my breakfast. There goes my effort in the run.

Before today, I kept thinking that my uncle had his cardio surgery at TTSH. End up, it's actually at SGH. For a moment, I forgot that SGH has got the top specialised in cardiology.

The poor fellow was sleeping in ICU today when we visit him. Well, actually I didn't want to go. Because I knew I would feel so outta place since I wasn't close to him. Sometimes at loggerheads. However, for the sake of kinship, I had to make my appearance. Sigh.

Respect is the word. I had to call him everytime I see him. Which I feel it weird and "extra". Anyway, in the name of Respect. I had no choice but to do so despite the absence of acknowledgement from the suffering man. Perhaps, he is tired, I told myself this.

Mama (my aunt), Papa (my uncle in law) and Jasmine brought me to Pearl Centre to eat. They were saying the "Yong Tao Hu" was famous. Sigh. It does brought back some memories of that "last person I'd ever want to be reminded about". I didn't want to eat anything filling. Hence, I ordered some dim sum. Gosh. Mama complained about the wooden chopsticks were mouldy. Papa was talkative as usual.

I don't really know. Yet somehow, I felt.. My family is obsolete from the main family. It's like Jasmine and Mama are the ones in charge of the family now. Omg. I shouldn't think this way. Perhaps it's because They are the ones who are actively bearing the burden of the family issues. Mummy used to be here. Now, we're trying to cope without her. I'm a hypersentimental guy. Inevitably, it's why I take more time to move on.

We accompanied Mama until 4pm when Uncle is being tranferred to a High Dependency ward (the second highest in the hierarchy of Intensive care department). Took Tranisland bus 851 to Thompson Plaza where Jasmine and I shopped for a new pair of heels for her to wear for work.

We also got the rest of the family dinner too. Not too bad a day.
