assalamualaikum,
yet today after 2 weeks ++ i havent updated my blog, i will comment everything i have done here in singapore.
week 1
2 days in royal plaza on scotts road.. good thing the hotel provides free internet connection but the painful thing is you have to login again and again on the web based login screen.
kandy's first dialysis which was on Monday 14th of february 2011,
like what i would also react to new things, kandy had an anxiety attack where she had just 5 mins of dialysis then went fail!.
they stopped the dialysis then sent her to the main hospital which is the main building of NUH that night with me. ONLY there was this big problem where we left the embassy papers and after a long struggle of convincing the emergency nurses and doctors... that the paper was accidently left at the dialysis centre @SLF building thomson road, sg. she finally "retreated" at like 3 am in the morning and went to the normal wards.
it was also this monday she and her doner had the introduction to procedures and reviews towards the "transplantation".
i still remember how lucky i am to be a Bruneian, having such good incentives and government paid medical services is one of it.. thanks to His majesty the Sultan of Brunei for having a great view and care towards his people. Long live the sultan Amin!
then i sometimes think how spoilt we are... having cars for our own. It is here that i realised that taxis, buses and trains play an important role in "moving around" for singaporeans and even toursists.
food in singapore.. especially @ orchard road and scotts road areas are expensive.. you just need to find the right place to buy or even to cook food.
oh yah! after 2 or 3 days @ royal plaza on scotts we then transferred to "Far East Service Apartments" which is eventually opposite to the place we once lived.

a picture i took beside of Tekka Market at indian street.
week 2
kandy's mum came from Aussie, just to pay a visit to her 2 daughters.. yes it was a good week for all of us as she is lively and caring towards her daughters... always proud of em both.
yep i forgot to mention kandy's first dialysis was done at NUH main building when she was admitted.
then the following other days it was done at the SLF building but her days of dialysis is now changed to day 2,4 and 6 in a week.
more appointments ahead, but at weekends we have time to go and free our minds after days and days of appointments, waiting, and etc.
kandy was always worried and missed our son JR. we plan to get him here this second week, when finally he was here on the 27th of february. Both of us was grateful for him to come as we always mention about him here and i think kandy is getting homesick soon if she doesnt see her baby boy.
LOL the first thing he told us was he went into an aeroplane... then when they came at 11 am in the morning we brought him to the mrt train station and we went window shopping around singapore.
talking about things i like near our appartments is i can have cheap sushi, from isetan or ramen ten level 1 Far east plaza.
i always hear singaporeans working 2 to 3 jobs just to earn money.
elders here still work till the morning. its impossible to survive here without earning enough. the standard of lving is kinda hard.
here where i live, i seldom hear the "azan" .. maybe near this place there is no masjids around as i did my homework and founded the nearest masjid is at Bencoolen street which is blocks away.
1 thing i like about singapore is that the youths are all admitted to the army or "service time" when they get to 18 yrs old its good as this can definitely get positive disciplinary shaping of youth with army based principles.
cigarettes and cars are expensive here. even though in Brunei a pack of 25s will cost around $7.60 for a pall mall. here for a 20s pall mall will cost you like 11.60. and as the taxi drivers stated buying a car is cheap here, its just the paper for COE or certificate of entitlement is really expensive. which costs like 70k++ (which i heard).
i guess this is all for tonight, might continue soon so BBS!
wassalam.
