Visit To SGH

I was supposed to have met up with my 2 sisters today but I got an sms message from Sis Elaine that her dad was admitted to SGH for a servere bout of food poisoning when I switched on my hp. Intitally she suggested postponing the appointment to the evening , but I guess her dad was in serious condition, so she cancelled the appointment. At first, she felt bad about not being able to meet us, but I told her, her dad's food poisoning was a case of unexpected circumstance, as a result, I can understand the cancellation. I hereby wish her dad to get well soon.

I was at SGH later to visit my grandma though as I could not find time to visit her yesterday, after my dad asked my brother & I to go to the CC to listen to a karaoke singing competition last nite.

(It was boring and the singing standards of the singers was not even on par with those who sang at the competition that my dad participated last week. Furthermore, my dad was barred from entering the competition last nite as he won the competition in 2004. The rules stated that the winners of the past three years are not eligible for participation, but must buy tickets to show support. I wonder what logic was that? We were further embarassed by the fact that we were unaware that the MP for the area, Mrs Lim Hwee Hua was in attendance as my brother went there in T-shirts & shorts. We made a discreet exit through the back door of the theatrette when she left soon after)

My grandma is also warded for food poisioning. I heard from her that besides her, my 3rd, 4th and 5th aunt also had similar symptoms after their dinner on Thursday. I wonder why didn't my 2 young cousins (5th aunt's children) got it as well? Fortunately, only my grandma was warded as she was found to have low sugar level in her blood. It was so low that she was scolding my 4th aunt. My mum, who spoke to the doctor yesterday, said that it was common for people with low sugar in blood to "be seeing,doing or saying the wrong things".

She looks ok to me when I visited her today. She is still very alert and aware of the things and events that are happening around her despite her 82 years of age. I just hope she will be able to be home soon.

Pantang- Meaning Things Not To Do In Hokkien

There are certain things which some Chinese are pretty particular with:- Happy and sad events can't clash together within 100 days to a year. If a relative or loved one were to pass away, the immediate family member can't attend a happy event, like wedding & housewarming. The Teochews treat their eldest male grandchild as their youngest son. If you are getting married & your friend who is getting married invites you to his wedding, u are not allowed to attend. The old people say happy events clash. The red packet can't be given twice for a happy event. Likewise for the condolence packet. One should not give shoes or lamp to a birthday boy or gal, as it is believed that you may bring the person to his deathbed. These are some interesting stuff to share, especially to some blog readers who are not living in a place filled with Chinese.

I started my day early today at 8.30am. I was helping my mum with the flower decoration & slept at 1am last night. Had received CNY sms messages from my ex colleague, LS, Angela, Rebecca, Darling, Caifeng, Huixuan, Huiyu, Mac, Jaslyn, Joey, Candy , Kelvin, Rich & Mike. Thanks for all your well wishes, my friends. The 1st stop was at my grandma's place, which we were lucky to get a cab almost immediately after waiting for just a short while. In the ride, my mum & I were chatting casually about some issues that happened in S'pore recently, when we actually touched on the old cobbler cheating Vietnamese gals to be his bride. The cabby told us an incident that happened to his friend. His friend, a guy aged 39 had married a Thai gal aged 23 some years ago. Soon after, they became parents to a baby boy. When the boy turned 3, the gal took away the money in the joint bank account with her husband. The savings totalled to about $100,000, which the guy had saved for years fr...
