Geylang Si Paku Geylang...

My blood test results came alright. No arthritis! The ointment that the Dr gave previously helped to reduce the swelling as well as the knee pain, but the ankle pain didn't subside...so the Dr I saw today prescribed Mobic tablet for me (he says it's more effective than ointment!). As usual, I forgot to take the medication after buka just now...so just took it now, since I remembered. And I just realised now, after reading up on Mobic...that I just took 1 panadol extra less than 1/2 hr ago!! And I also didn't tell them abt my gastric & bowel troubles. Shit. I hope nothing happens to me.

Ok...on a lighter note...I had applied for whole day leave today so no work! After my Poly appt. I went to Century Square to do some errands. 1 of it was to Nokia Service Centre to enquire abt the repair of my internally-injured phone which Amsyar dropped yesterday morning. Nak marah pun tak kuasa...nasi dah jadi bubur! At the most, he's banned from touching my hp already. Anyways, Nokia is able to repair for me FOC...except, the slider is out of stock, they'll confirm when the stock is coming and then I shall send for repair on Fri (coz I need the phone for work and they need to take my phone for 3 days).

After completing my errands, I headed back home. Got appt. to bring Mom to Geylang...she bought baju kurung & capal for Bro on Sat when she went with Sis, but the baju was a lil tight while the capal was a lil oversized...so she wanted to get them changed. I promised to bring her on Mon (today) since I'm on leave. So once I was home, she got ready & we left. Once I parked at Pasar Geylang, si "pakcik" ni sibuk nak tgk lif (the capsule lift @ S'pore Post visible from the carpark). So I told Mom I'll spend some quality time sightseeing with Amsyar while she do her shopping peacefully (both Amsyar & I prefer sightseeing than shopping!). For close to 1/2hr, it was just Amsyar & I standing & squatting like beggars at the walkway in front of the fence under the MRT track facing S'pore Post (hmmm...I seem to excel in babysitting him!). I bet my Mom enjoyed her shopping spree (since I wasn't there to control her spending! She came back to the car with loads of plastic, but I didn't get a chance to inspect!)

Today was possibly my best ever trip to Geylang. I always questioned Mom abt her frequent trips to Geylang with Sis "aper yg ada kat Geylang tu, tak jelak2 ke gi Geylang?!" Now I know! You want to know? Watch this clip:
