Saturday (21st Aug)
Went over to Shun's house in the afternoon.. watched tv while he helped his mum with the washings... Then together with his dad, we visited his grandmother at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.. She had a fall and fractured her leg, think she had to go for an operation.. wah, hadn't visited TTSH for like 10 yrs.. hahaha.. my last time there was like when i'm 6 or 7 years old.. when i had high fever and had to be hospitlised.. TTSH looked totally different now man.. hahhaha.. better equipped now and the wards are definately better.. even their beds are better.. think it's air bed rite?? anyway, that was my first time seeing his grandma... she looked fine to to me.. looked healthy and strong.. therefore, i supposed she will be able to discharge soon.. hope she will get well soon...
