Weekend

20th Oct (Sat)

Two days back, while waiting for the transport with my mum, bump into a neighbourhood neighbour who mention that her hubby is in the Community Hospital, decided to visit neighbourhood neighbour hubby.

While there, neighbourhood neighbour mentions that the ward her hubby is in are all dementia patients.

It so happen the patient next to neighbourhood neighbour is an eighty plus Ah Gong.

The helper is there taking care of him.  Was saiding hello to Ah Gong and  was told that Ah Gong has not been talking for a period of time and he even couldn't recognize his sons.  Saddened to hear it.

After the visitation, my meal, nasi padang (chicken) @ $5.

Photo taken from facebook - There's a free workout at the Community Centre near my house every Saturday from 5pm, this is my first time attending it.

21st Oct (Sun)

Zone 3 RC Senior Friendship Circle is on every 3rd Sunday of the month.

Ask my mum if she wants to go, at first, she doesn't wants.  Sweet talk a bit and she said ok.  Lucky while there, she's in good mood and didn't throw tantrum.

Breakfast for the Seniors - nasi lemak

Decided to go church after bringing my mum back from the Senior Friendship Circle.  Was quite rushing and I was 15 minutes late for service.

After service, I was at Redhill Food Centre buying food back for my mum. As I was not very hungry, had durian chendol @ $3.

Halloween decorations @ Westgate

Usually I will stop at Jurong East Station to catch the bus back home.  Westgate is the shopping centre that is link to the MRT Station.

It so happen I saw some Halloween decorations there, so took picture of it.

15th Oct (Mon)

Bought a batang steak from one of the fishmonger in Redhill market yesterday.  This is my first time buying from this lady fishmonger as previously when I was there, I bought from another stall.  That stall was crowded,  so I bought from this stall.  Should be my 1st and last time as her attitude piss me off.

Batang steak @ $3

While on my way home, bought a banana leaf prawn otah @ $1.70 as I was craving for otah.

Bump into Mr and Mrs Choo helper at my neighbourhood.  Ask whether Mrs Choo had been discharge from hospital.  Was told she's still in hospital.

Causally ask the helper how long she has been in the hospital, the helper reply was 4 months.

Now that the timing of the transport picking up my mum is earlier, I can take a bit of sweet time to get to work.

When I reach my workplace, I got a shock.  My manager is on mc and big boss is here to cover her.
