Bad experience with Mac delivery

Tues noon around 3.30pm, I was feeling hungry & went Mac website to order some food. I was too lazy to go downstair to grab any food cos it was pouring at my side. It was the most stupid decision I ever make that day.

After ordering my favourite mac nuggets meal, I receive an email & it say my food will be delivered to my door before 4.35pm. I was in my room with tv on, and the door is a distant away, so I won't be able to hear anything, my baby is one dog that doesn't bark at anybody who knocks on the door, she was happily wagging her tail cos she thought somebody is at the door coming to play with her!!

With my past experience from Mac delivery, they'll call me when they're at the door, I was just expecting their call.

4.20pm, the delivery guy is at my door, probaby knock on my door a few times & yet I didn't respond.

Delivery guy: "I knock on your door a few times why you never open the door"

Me: *he was freaking rude* I reply "give me a sec, I'll be at the door" *take keys also need time right*

When I open the door, I was being greeted with a real black charcoal face, obviously not a very pleasant experience that I have. He pass me the order & immediately ask me to aknowledge my order without me checking, if its not becos I paid my order by credit card, I would like rejected him right away.

I was also on the verge of lodging a complain with their management on my "wonderful service" by their "professional delivery guy". I understand its rainging & they have to brave through the rain to deliver my order to me, but in my humble opinion, it doesn't warrant them to give such a rude service to customers.

I'll still order from them, cos this is the most convenient way of filling up my tummy when I'm too lazy to move my legs out of my house

CGH A&E

I was having mild asthma attack since Sunday, must be the haze from indonesia making its grand appearance again!!

On Mon & Tues, Colin is being recalled for 2 days reservist, so I took this opportunity to rest at home & at the same time, do the most crazy thing of the month, churn 50 mth end reports!!

Wed return to work despite being unwell. On Thurs, I was really not well, by 10pm I was really breathless, I had a tiff with Colin thus din tell him about me not well. By 10.30pm, I tell myself either I make my own way down to the 24 hrs clinic 2 streets away or hospital A&E cos all GP clinic are already close at that hour.

I decided to go hospital cos the doctor at the 24 hrs clinic doesn't instill any professionalism to me & the medication there is so damn limited. I called for a cab & landed myself at Changi General Hospital A&E 20 mins later. Registration is pretty fast cos there's no queue at all.

I was told to wait at the waiting area to wait for a nurse to call me by name to assess my condition, less than 5 mins waiting I was called. My blood pressure is really high standing at 133 cos I was really breathless, then I was told to do a breathlyser test which I know I sure to fail. First blow the nurse say I did wrongly, I was on the verge of boxing that stupid nurse, 2nd attempt I straight away told him thats the max I can go before I ask for oxygen mask.

I was given a queue number & told to wait, I thought the wait will be at least an hour, but to my surprise, my number flash 10 mins later. This MO appears more professional, assessing my medical history & final diagnosis is mild asthma attack, it doesn't warrant me to bring home the neuberliser, but I totally regretted not bring it home!! The next day my condition seems to be worse, I was literally dragging my feet to the carpark!! The steriod pills that was given to me doesn't seem to stablise my condition, inhailer not doing its job properly, whole day just dragging my feet around office!!

After giving the prescription to the pharmacist, I was called in less than 5 mins time, took my medication & went to make payment. I only need to pay for consultation fees which is $75, medication + GST is on government grant.

Carol accompanied me & we went nearby chatting & I only reach home at 1.30am. Instruction given by the MO is, if my condition is no better after taking the steroid pills, I have to go back to see him, which I doubt I'll ever step back there again unless very very necessary.

Can some kind soul tell me why!!!

Can some kind soul out there why do I have to bear all the sufferings while he can sit back & relax?

Last month I made an appointment to see Dr Soong, first thing I told her I've finally made up my mind to go for SO-IUI, its 5 days jab but if result is not satisfactory, I'll have to continue for another few days.

I thought I've finally pluck the courage to go thru it, but when I really sit down & think I'm just deceiving myself, I still cannot face needles. I still cannot face the reality that I cannot have a child naturally, all these shall be history for maybe God knows the answer to it.

No doubt I yearn to have my own child, but I still cannot face my greatest fear. Thats Needles!!! I'll really freak out the moment I see them. For now, having a child of my own shall be a far away dream until God decides to bless me with one

Twinkle's first grooming session

Yesterday was my baby's first grooming session, I read thru some doggie forum on their review for groomer, quite a few poster give very good review for Pet's Raisin located at Bishan St 22. I've actually made appointment at Pet's Lover Center since I couldn't get any appointment slot at Pet's Raisin.

Finally, I receive a call from Pet's Raisin that they could squeese my baby in. I reminded them that she need a full grooming, and YES!! she's given a slot at 11am. Colin & I drop her off with the groomer & we went to have our brunch then went for a walk at Bishan Junction 8. After that we went back to pick my baby since I yet to receive a call from the groomer & its already 1pm, decided to just wait in the shop. When we step inside the shop, my baby starts to get excited thinking that we'll save her from "hell", sat there for about 10 mins & my baby looks extremely happy!! She can't wait to show us her new hairstyle & she smells good. I check with the groomer if she's difficult to handle, she says no, she's been very good throughout the 2 hr session, guai guai sit down & let her cut her hair & nails.

I can finally put my mind at ease & let her continue her future grooming with this groomer.

Footprints in the sand

Lyrics extracted from Elaine's blog

Footprints in the Sand - Leona Lewis

You walked with me, footprints in the sand
And helped me understand where I'm going
You walked with me when I was all alone
With so much I know along the way
Then I heard you say

I promise you, I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I'll carry you when you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand

I see my life flash across the sky
So many times have I been so afraid
And just when I have thought I've lost my way
You give me strength to carry on
That's when I heard you say

I promise you, I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I'll carry you when you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand

When I'm weary, well, I know you'll be there
And I can feel you when you say

I promise you, I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I'll carry you when you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This song speak to the core of my heart each & everytime I'm feeling down. God never fail to remind me that when I look back at times when I only see 1 set of footprints in the sand, its becos He carried me thru & walk with me!

I'm so deeply in love with this song till its my hp ring tone too!

Flu is back

My flu is back!!

It started with mild sneezing on Thurs, took a couple of hours of work to bring my baby for her last jab.

We reach the clinic on time, register twinkle & I make use of the waiting time to take her latest weight. Her latest weight is 2.16kg, in the normal range *phew*.

When I reach home, my sneezing got from bad to worse, by 11pm I'm almost half dead. I can hardly wake up in the morning, Colin force me to stay home to rest. I quickly call office & inform my girls I'm not going in. Immediately after lunch, pop my flu med & within half hour I'm into my dreamland, but got woken up my phone call 2 hrs later.

At 5.20pm, Colin called me & say he had left office & is on the way to my parents place. Meaning to say he'll be at my parents place within 1 hr!! I quickly change, settle my baby & rush out of the house.

When I was waiting for cab, a kind cab driver from the opposite direction u-turn to pick me. Cut the long story short, cab fare to my parents place is $23.50 super duper freaking expensive!!

Just when I was surfing some friend's blog, I chance upon Elaine's blog & its playing "Footprints in the sand", a song that really speak to me when I'm down. I'll upload the lyrics & the song into my blog soon
