A “white” Christmas
No, not of the wintery kind, but the hospital. I’m posting from the cafeteria of the Pantai Medical Centre where I spent Christmas Eve keeping my father company. My brother, who has been keeping him company for the last week or so, had to return to Singapore on Thursday. We made arrangements for a family friend to keep father company on Thursday night, and I took over yesterday afternoon.
He is being discharged later today - praise the Lord, what a Christmas present! - but with some medication, to return for a follow-up in a week’s time.
I’d brought Phoebe along for company and was able to detect an open signal from the room called “tsunami”. Unfortunately, that was all I got, a signal, no connection. I came down to the lobby later but couldn’t get a signal at all, and not from the cafeteria, either, so I had to use the desktop here. I called TMNet’s customer service and the rep gave me some crap excuse that they only provide the service line and if I couldn’t log in from my laptop, then it probably meant the laptop’s wireless card is faulty. I have something strong to write here about such an excuse, but won’t, seeing as how it’s Christmas morning.
In a week’s time, it’s going to be a new year which for me, always means a new beginning and fresh start. More than in previous years, I need this fresh start so yes, I’m looking forward to 2005.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, everyone!
