Long week seh..

Heyy, I'm back. This is gonna be a long post, as it has been a long week.

This week has been a long and in some ways, tiring and worrying week. It started on Tuesday, when my grandfather was admitted to Changi General Hospital. Anyone who wants to know the details can ask me personally. He had a stroke and could not move his right body due to damage of the left brain. Neurologists confirmed that the damage to his brain was quite huge and as a result, he had a serious stroke. The stroke was due to high blood pressure and as he had been telling us, his family members, that he was very healthy and all, we did not pay too much attention to the fact that he had high blood pressure and wasn't taking his medicine regularly.

He was admitted to the acute stroke ward, which is a ward specially for stroke patients. On the first day, he wasn't conscious for the bulk of the day. But on the second day, he could actually open his eyes. I do not know if he actually could recognize me, but I prayed and hoped that he would be all right eventually.

On Thursday, the third day he was at CGH, I am not sure but I think he managed to be able to sit up and looked better. His conscious level was still not high as yet. But on the fourth and fifth day, his conscious level was on a high. The doctors who came to check him said that he could transfer to the normal ward if his conscious level remained status quo.

I was made personal assistant therapist (This is a joke) to my grandfather. I taught him to put his thumbs up or down depending on whether he wanted something or not. I made him some placards and he was able to relate his situation to us. Somehow, his favorite cards were "bored" and "comfortable". He started reading the newspaper, which was a encouraging sight as the stroke had damaged his communication and understanding skills. Reading of the newspapers meant that he was slowly getting his understanding skills back.

One thing was a joke, though. The acute stroke ward was a so called classless ward. This does not mean that it has no class and everybody has to pay the same price; it simply meant that you pay more or less, depending on what you are comparing with, to stay in the same ward with other people which could be paying less. Then, once you can be admitted to a normal ward, then the class you are paying takes place.

He was soon transferred to a normal class B1 ward. The physios came to look at him and said that he is improving quite well. The normal ward has a TV for every patient, which is good and can keep him occupied. He can now move his right leg a little, make himself comfortable and sit on a chair and read newspapers himself, including the turning of the pages. Just today, he was changed to a class A ward, which has a TV as well. One thing different is that in the class A ward, he has the whole room to himself and does not have to share rooms with others.

Hope he gets well soon. Will post some pictures of him tomorrow.

Life is cruel

Life is cruel.

Heyy guys, I'm back. Today Ber(Hokkien for porridge or rice) decided not to give me the SC form xD. I pissed her off when I talk to someone when the papers were collected.

She ask me and some other people copy one compo. Easy luhh, but she damn stuck up lor. Give the form to someone else la.. I dun care... One day you'll realise I should have been the one...

Today was a tie-pedemic. A lot of people nvr bring tie. I also nvr bring, but I went to buy tie, in the hope she still trust I can do a good job. No luck. Everybody nvr bring so they said those who nvr bring tmr must wear. Crap seh. I go buy for nothing.

Keep the faith that she'll get sacked soon and we'll get a teacher who appreciates me. YongKang FTW! Ber FTS(For the sack)

AWESOME DAY

Okay, the title's a little bit misleading and sarcastic.

I got a surprise today at assembly - LAB was choosing me to go for some Student Council Conference. I dunno wad I'm supposed to do, but it's in the hols. 3rd June, 7.30am to 5.30pm. Anything that's gonna do with SC, I tell them, I'm in.

Yeah, so, if the story ends like that it doesn't fit the title. Well, Mrs Khairul "saw" me and Sufy fidgeting too much, so she SCOLDED us and almost punished us. Then, AB came in. I thought she saving us sia. She took the consent form away from me and said she didn't think I behave so badly when she gave me the form. WTF sia.. Got mosquito right.. and sweating like hell...

So you probably think I'm a gay or something. That's what you think. BUT, THE POINT IS, I GOT SCOLDED AND PUNISHED FOR NOTHING. Sian.

MYE are here, can't blog much, today's an exception. EL paper 1, EL paper 2 and Geography down! Only 6 more sbjs left >.<||| This sucks. I just wish hols will come soon. So many things I wanna do.

I love the fact that after exams, we can go home directly. Dunnid stay back in school and have lessons like in primary school. Come back still gotta study la.. Might as well study at home then in school right xP

Today 1A had a coin throwing competition. There was a beehive on a tree beside our classroom, you see. Sufy started it when he took out 20cent coins and started throwing. Childish? Afterwards ppl went down go collect money =.=

Kenna pwned by Ah Ber every day sia.. Today when she was invigilating she told us between each whole qn of the comprehension need to leave three lines..

AB: "So like after writing finish answer for 1 AB, must leave 3 lines before writing 2 AB".

Who wants to write AB.
