The initial plan was to bring Renee to the NDC for her follow-up check straight from school today but Papa, being him(close links will know wat I mean... :>) changed his mind as usual and said that I should bring her home first. Fine, that resulted in us not being able to go for our lunch as I've 'predicted' and he, on many accounts, had not and I ended up feeling super hungry whilst waiting for our number to appear on the que number screen @ NDC.
Good thing we were the 1st on the senior doctor's afternoon appointment list and we didn't have to wait long. However, in less than 10mins consultation, though alittle more detailed with her, we left after paying a bill of S$94.00. Nothing's done, nothing's prescribed, just merely checking... We were told to return in another 3 months' time and when I went back to the room to ask if it's really that necessary since everything's seemed rather fine now, the doctor though not unfriendly, was stern with her reply. Yeah, this is what you get from a senior doctor in a govt medical centre and u're paying a high private rate for their 'attitude'... Honestly, if not for the 'record', I wouldn't bother to return there... However, she did give me a little advice about the growth of Renee's teeth which I find useful(although I believe any experienced pte practitioner would do the same too). Well, we would perhaps see how things go before deciding if we'd be returning to her in 3 months' time, haiz, we might just do so...
*oh ya, so far, all the dentists whom had seen her had asked if she's off-bottle and when I replied that she is, since a long time ago, they all remarked that it's very good. So I'm glad I've not taken too much heed to the old sayings of 'let them drink from the bottle as long as possible'...
Thereafter, due to hunger, we 'hurried' over to Vivo for a quick lunch and time seemed to be rather 'long' today 'cos it was only 4pm by the time we're done with our 'shopping' around the mall(even walked over to the neighbouring mall out of boredom). We had thought to drag our stay at Vivo so we could drive over to my mom's for dinner since she'd phoned last night, saying that she missed Renee but... she's already kinda prepared her dinner so the idea had to be abandoned and we decided to head home for a rest - well, papa rested whilst mommy went about the chores and showering Renee as usual... Then at night, we went over to Compass Point and Renee was overjoyed to have her 'heaty outside food' again at the Jack's and again, she was so full that she couldn't even finish her ice-cream(but hmmm, she seldom does that anyway, :>).
