Resort World and More Shopping
Actually, I already had soup boiling but that of 'cos, can be 'sacrificed'(but we had it for supper), hahaha.
Observing...
As for today, I've expected hubby to meet his family early for their yearly 'Qing Ming' routine(which they later found out before the 'next stop' that they're not supposed to) but it seems like they've changed to doing that in the afternoon since last year. Since he's still home at 12pm, I quickly ironed up Renee's uniforms, then hurriedly got ready and had him sent us downtown to do some shopping in case he's not back early enough to bring us there.

Dental Check-Up
Remembering the dental check-up we've to bring her to, I immediately switched my mobile on but at 10am, there was still no phone calls from the centre. A note on the map attached to the referral letter indicated that we should call the centre, after 1 day, if we do not hear from them or KKH but I didn't wish to wait as Renee is still unwilling to chew*(due to pain), not even her favourite bread.
*she has however, decided to chew abit when I bought some paos after our lunch and I guess, after so many hours w/out her fav bread, she simply couldn't resist, heee.
At the NDC, although we were next on line, we still waited for quite a while before the dentist actually attended to us. It turned out that she's an intern if I'm not wrong, 'cos after a pretty long consultation with her, we still had to wait for her senior to have a look which warranted another x-ray 'cos apparently the former had not detected the obvious fracture line on 2 of Renee's upper teeth! Then, though I've expected to speak to the senior after the 2nd x-ray, we weren't given a chance to(she wasn't even back to review further) and the very friendly intern(in actual fact, dentists are trained pyschologically to be extra nice due to obvious patients' fears), being reprimanded by the senior right infront of us(for not detecting the fracture lines and the defective equipment in the room), had became not so friendly thereafter and we were quite abruptly 'dismissed'.
By the time we've gone for the 2nd x-ray, hubby had returned to join us(I had still thought that we'd need to go back ourselves when I told him to go tend to his work, so you can imagine how long we were there).
Even if the teeth do not drop, she might still experience more sensitivity now til the 'change', haiz...
This incident, together with our experience at KKH yesterday reminded me on why I've always not liked going to the public hospitals/medical centres(although the doctors and nurses had been singing 'praises' of her) if one can afford it. My biggest regret now is that I hadn't been calm enough to think properly 'cos if I had, I would have asked the GP to refer us to a specialist and probably, we wouldn't have to subject our precious one to being a 'guinea pig'/experimental, training objects.
Whatever it is, there's nothing we can do now but I will most probably bring her to the PD to remove the stitches 'cos I'd prefer better advice/treatment on how to minimise her scar and 2ndly, I will find out if I could ask for a senior consultant on her dental follow-up check(which will be in a month's time) before deciding if we should go for another check with a private practitioner(if you have any good recomendations[scar treatment &/or dental], pls let me know).
Meantime, I would need her to lay off her violin practices/lessons for a while and I hope it won't be too long 'cos we've already skipped her lessons for a month already...

A Turn for the Worst?
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!
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.

A Good Talk
The wind, after the rain yesterday, seemed to have became stronger and this is what happened when we were doing the artworks :
Last Day of Term I
It's been quite a while since we've last been to Compass Point and as hubby needed us to go to the office tomorrow, I took Renee there to run some errands today. First, we headed to the OCBC bank, where I finally get to have my replacement ATM card which is sooo troublesome, given that the other banks had already posted the new cards(incl. ATM's) to me ages ago. After banking in some of Renee's coins, I casually asked how does a child get the badges and upon checking her bank book, they said, oh it's her 3rd deposit, so she's entitled to a bronze one. Hmmm, if I hadn't asked, will she even get it? Actually, basing on the number of deposits we've made, not even taking into consideration that we've always deposited more than the required S$20(we usually accumulate and deposit in hundreds) each time, she should be getting her Gold one long time ago. I guess we were 'penalised' for changing the type of account! Geez, sooo calculative and how more customer unfriendly can this bank get huh?.
Again, Renee asked her Papa if she could join the school camp...

Short Hairdo Again
And so, it is from this :
Although she's less babyish-looking now with the haircut, it is a breeze(again, :D) to wash her hair and I need not have to enure that I've to give her a afternoon shower or to blow-dry her hair if it's done in the evening, :D. And now, with the weather forecast that this dry and record setting hot weather(think our weather's just going to get hotter and hotter) is going to continue for the next few months, I'm really tempted to have mine chop off as well - I've done this the same time of the year last year and I've told my h/stylist that I'll try my best to maintain it for this year, shall see how things go...(the most probably I'll just have to do something which I dreaded seeing - tie up the hair! hahaha), :D.
