4th February, NUH visit

Boy took the car for servicing in the morning, and because the car had a high pitch sound coming out from don't know where, the mechanics took hours to troubleshoot the problem, and we nearly missed the trip to the hospital. Boy had to borrow car from zhaoz, we were an hour late for the appointment. As usual, baby Dylan cried very very very hard when the nurse took blood from his feet. He was wailing away even when I carried him tight in my arms.

Uncle bi / ah yi

We headed to Joo Chiat Lane to visit "jiu po" at the nursing home, ah yi didn't know how to get there, so we were at joo chiat running in circles before we found the place. Baby Dylan cried when jiu po talked to him, he's scared of old people, I don't know why. After that, we went to tampines mall for dinner.

This dinner is a luxurious one that is so expensive that it can cost a month of my salary if I am working. Luckily ah tung got staff discount or else the money spent on this dinner alone can pay for my dinner for 3 months. The serving for the dishes are too big that we cannot finish everything even with the dinosaurs eaters, including me.
