LauPaSat SIN only hawker market under gazetted national monument managed by FairpriceKopitiamGroup commemorates 130Anniversary this year – pix downloaded.

BoonTat/SataySt closes to traffic at 1900hrs sharp and turns into a alfresco dining with 9satay stalls on BoonTatSt and 80+other stalls in the market to choose from. It is quite an experience to dine in the surroundings of the CBD skyscrapers and hopefully these young ppl enjoyed it. Overseas family&friends are fascinated when they are there to watch the efficient process from closing of the street to getting the tables&chairs on the street.

Thu: Happy 4th, another day to rest the stomach before the weekend socials. How is it possible that it has been 19yrs ago since I hiked ~2,200miles/3,540km Appalachian Trail??? Today I am short of breath just crossing the road!

Relaxing with SomersetMaugham(1874-1965)audio-books short stories.

Nothing in the world is permanent, and we’re foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we’re still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it – Somerset Maugham

Edited&updated: Fri: met with PP on the bus and continued to MaxwellFoodCentre to get a bite. Urban Redevelopment Authority/URA, the national urban planning authority of SIN would be a good place to introduce to anyone who is interested to learn about SIN and to her family who joined us later.

Met up with nieces,nephew&grandnephews@Swensen’sT2. Did not even get back to my 4walls as when the bus got to my stop, barely to just manage to get off the bus and threw up so profusely, could hardly breathe but asked some kind strangers to call the ambulance – rest of the evening@ChangiGH/A&E, thank goodness for oxygen via nasal cannula/NC&Nebulizier I could breathe…

Sat: still not feeling good but managed to text to inform family – was pumped with meds the rest of the day that by later evening, now warded was again throwing up. Tkx to Clement for the charger&headphones, much appreciated&needed.

Sun: could not hold down anything and a miserable feeling – not only one IV but two, one for the Saline and the other for AntiB&nausea med. System reacting to the chemicals…

Mon: Xray(showing infection in the lungs), blood test, etc, no appetite despite of decent food but drank alot of water, peeing alot – changing  AntiB, previous one seemingly not effective. Amazing how HighTech it is, everything is updated on an iPad by my bedside.

Tue: appetite still not good but eating a few bites for every meal to keep the energy, feeling more human. Interesting to watch how ppl&things function in Ward38. There is this seemingly sweet demur looking female(guessing her to be in her 80s) who yells on top of her voice(even an opera singer would be envious of those vocal cords!) in the foulest Hokkien-dialect when she is awake without her helper or visitors.

Oh how looks can be deceiving – according to PP dementia might be the reason and my comment is that hope that does not happen to us and a good one from her: We won’t know but would bother everyone else – hahaha

Wed: more blood test and a relief to know that this strong AntiB Levofloxacin is taking its effect against my newly diagnosed Pneumonia! – really and how did that get to me? Anyway always easier to deal with whatever when the cause is known, now back to my 4walls to rest&recover. Appreciations with thanks to all in ChangiGH who helped me to get my breath back and, on my feet, again. The only complain, and a serious one is that they did not return calls when family called and that got my family really concerned especially when I could not update them.
