7 Apr 2025 – Follow-up Appointments
Fri: MRT-TEL-MarineT-OutramPk/Exit6/NDC, underground walk when not rush hour, do not want to risk a panic-attack during rush hour despite that the hospital is just a stone-throw away! If rush hour, will take the Bus16 changing to Bus33-OutramRd and walk to 2ndHospitalAve. Bus196/MarineCres-NewBridgeRd-Stop crossing the overhead bridge to SingHealth/OutramCommHospital-Blk3SGH walking to wherever the appts are, and if possible, not taking the shuttle bus as they usually crowded. Gladly walk these detoured routes to keep my sanity, especially for this week with 3follow-up-appts!
Today on the way back to the EastSide, Bus196 added a new stop on CantonmentRd opp PoliceCantonmentComplex(05539) – saw it under construction when taking a walk with cousin Karen in Jan. Such a pleasure to practically have the bus to myself, hardly stopping as there were no pax at many of the stops now with the MRT-TEL running.
Memories with view from 5TemenggongRd/1940s-50s. The row-houses in front are now TravelLodge/HabourFront, smoking-chimmy/StJamesPowerStation, curved Godown roofs now VivoCity, then PulauBlakangMati/Sentosa now in the far background. Memory lane is the only way to remember not to forget!

Sat catching up with Hannah&Heiko to celebrate his 40Bday before they head off to Osdorf,Schleswig-Holstein/Germany on their one-way-ticket!
Sun: appreciations with thanks to Iyas for Sunday’s scrupulous HalahHomeCooked lunch + a variety of yummy HariRayaCookies.
Amazing view from 44-floor and nice playground in the area. Like the idea when you can rinse your hands on top of the toilet bowl and water can then be used for the toilet – must get one of those when change is needed. Tkx to Helen for walking with me to find a bus stop to learn that MargaretDr continues to KaySiangRd!
Gazebo now glassed in with AC, will not tempt fate being in there when cigar smoking is ongoing! Tkx for dinner@Rochalie –
yummy Champagne+Caviar that Albert bought from his Moscow/Russia trip+SteakAlaRochalie and durian for dessert, tkx to Galdy&Shawn.
But I am greedy for life. I do too much of everything all the time. Suddenly one day my heart will fail… Perhaps they will put on my tombstone. ‘This Man Died from Living Too Much ― Ian Fleming/From Russia With Love’
Mon: need to rest body&mind, especially for the stomach!
