A Turn for the Worst?

Our usual family shopping day had unpredictably turned out to be quite a rushing one today.

My FIL's current hospitalisation(rather frequent lately) apparently showed that his condition had taken a really bad turn(predicted actually, though we've not really expected it to be this fast and hubby said he had seemed alright on Fri) and so, after sending us to Paragon, hubby went to visit him at the hospital. At close to 7pm, he came over to meet us and just after we've finished our quick dinner, he got a call from the hospital that his father wasn't responding and he rushed over. I was still contemplating whether if I should just take a cab home with Renee as he's instructed or just loiter around in case we'd need to rush over as well. A quick check with Renee and we stayed on(obviously...) which was a good thing 'cos half an hour later, hubby phoned when I was about to make my payment for the merchandises and told me to go over (yeah, due to the staying on, we had bought more things, haiz)- mainly Renee's new melamine cutlery set from 'Hello Kitty'(I've never expected her to like this 'old' brand of character, probably becos of te designs and I guess she's also long outgrown the age of 'Dora'. Anyway, this is def alot better as compared to 'Barbie'!). Here're some :

Unexpectedly, there was a loooong que outside TSC(I've thought it'd be ok since the festival season's over) and I still couldn't get hold of a cab booking despite being put on hold for a long time. I had to give up holding-on to the phone booking confirmation 'cos my mobile's battery was super low and I needed to save the last bit to contact hubby.

45mins later and we were still in the que and hubby said he'd come pick us. The irritating thing was, when we came out of the que, it then started to move, aiyoh always like that!
When Renee had first learnt the news and that we're going to visit her ye ye, she was sad that he had became so ill. Then whilst we were que-ing, she was even more anxious about the long wait and had even teared... But when we got there, she kinda clamped up and didn't say what she thought, haiz...

Short while later, hubby sent us home and instead of the initial plan of him going back to stay overnight at the hospital with the rest of his siblings 'cos bro Chuan called to inform that they'd be adhereing to FIL's request for a discharge.
