Tough day

This morning, got woken up by a call at 545am. It was Kok Fong. He called to let CT know that his wife is in hospital and he would not be going to work. Gek Teng had a miscarriage. Of course, I woke up and we were shocked as just yesterday, I was congratulating her on her pregnancy.

We washed up and I told CT that I wanted to go visit to at least, give some support. So, I packed 2 muesli bars, 1 banana and made korean ginseng powder drink for Kok Fong as he would prob be in hospital for some time. We left the house at 6am and it was only about 10min drive to Springhill Hospital-the same hospital which me and my mum were.

It is so strange that few months after the train accident, I am still going back to the hospitals. Anyway, we went there and ask the reception where is she and the nurse heard and informed Kok Fong. We saw him and gave him the stuff. He told us what happened. He said that Gek Teng woke up in the middle of the night and was bleeding a lot..So, she was admitted to emergency straight away. Sigh.. We asked him if they are ok and Kok Fong said they will be alright.

We left shortly after as CT had to drop me back before he went to work. I did not go back to sleep when I reached home though I was exhausted...but just felt quite sad.

Anyway, I met up with Jaimie's mum alone and brought her to the Vietnamese Restaurant for beef noodles and sour plum drink. Yup..I love the beef noodles there..and of course, my fav plum drink. However, guess the soup has lots of MSG cos feel very thirsty after that.

After lunch, we walked to the Fresh Market and to TJ Maxx-a small departmental shop. Then, we walked to "Dollar General" shop where things are cheap. We both bought some stuff. Then, I showed her my apartment to see how does a 2 room apartment look like. She stayed a while before she left.

Just before CT came home, Kok Fong called and informed me that Gek Teng would be discharged this evening. So, when CT came home, we went to "Party City"-a party shop to buy a big bear "Get Well" balloon for Gek Teng. It is about 1m tall. Very cute...When we were queuing up to pay, this person behind me was saying, "Aw...that is so sweet.." Haha..

So after that, we went home and I got some soup for both of them and brought the balloon and a card for them as well. We managed to see Gek Teng. She was lying on bed and we talked a while. Kok Fong would be preparing meals for the next few days. I offered to cook..but he said since he is around, he can cook. So next week on Tues, when he goes back to work, I would cook for them. We kept telling them that if need anything, just let us know. I am def willing to do anything for them.

When we reached home, CT kissed me and said, "I am very proud of you." In my heart, I am very proud of him too. :)

At night, we watched "Mulan 2" cartoon DVD. Gek Teng borrowed 2 cartoon DVDs from library and has watched finish already. So, she lent us. Quite funny and nice. Watched till 10 plus pm. So sleepy..What a day!
