We Are Family

My grandpa died of sudden cardiac arrest almost seven years ago. It took us all by surprise. We didn’t know he was sick. Maybe he doesn’t know either as he is always at tip top shape so he never cared to go for checkups. Had he done that he could’ve discovered that he already has an abnormal heart rhythm.

I still couldn’t believe it that the day before that he was so healthy and he even helped in fixing the broken wirings that were destroyed by the typhoon. The next day he had sudden cardiac arrest.

So it is always good to check and see if we have warning signs of this disease.

Today’s another busy day. I did the laundry because our laundry lady is vacationing in the province. She will return next week. We have a lot of dirty clothes because our last washing was Thursday last week. We have more than a week worth of dirty clothes for 6 people. Can imagine that?

I was done by 2pm and we went grocery shopping after. Then I fixed our clothes and cooked dinner. We attended the book study at 6:30pm and here I am now catching up on my writing assignments.

I can’t wait to hit the sack. Yawn!

My sister just came into our room asking if she should get a personal life insurance. An agent is offering a plan for and she is unsure if she should take it or not. I told her that even if she has insurance as benefit from our office, she should also consider getting something for her own. Just in case that she wants to go freelance later on. Besides, it is cheaper to buy insurance while we are young.

We left the house at around 5:45 pm. We were at the airport at 20 minutes later and much to our dismay, the flight was delayed for an hour. By 7:30 we were done with checking in and immigration. We had dinner and went to the kiddie lounge to kill time. B.boy had a great time playing with the blocks and slides.

We boarded the plane at around 9pm. We noticed that B.boy has colds but good thing that he is still his usual playful self. We had cup noodles and crackers on the plane. We dozed off after.

The plane landed at around 1:30am. Our friend was there to fetch us and we arrived at their home at 2pm. B.boy has a slight fever so we were a little worried. He wasn’t feeling well in the morning so he took paracetamol. He was better at lunch time so went to Singapore Zoo. We noticed that the fever went back so we decided to drop by at our friend’s house at Serangoon. We just had lunch at Ang Mo Kio and we boarded bus number 73 to our friend’s house.

They are our neighbors before and they migrated to Singapore last May 5. B.boy and their little boy are good friends so they are so happy to see each other again. The little boy dozed off. He woke up at around 5:30pm and we had an early dinner at around 6pm. We head off to Night Safari after.

We were there at around 8:30pm. We took the tram that will take you around the park. It was amazing to see those wonderful animals bathe in moonlight err, in subdued artificial light but it has the same effect. The tour took around 45 minutes.

We went to see the creatures of the night show afterwards. They’ve got trained hyenas, owls, otters and snakes on the show. The show lasts for 30 minutes.

We were hungry after that so we grabbed some burgers at Bongo Burgers and headed back to our friend’s place at Serangoon. It was around an hour travel without the bus waiting time. So we were dead tired when we reached home.

Since B.boy missed his friend, they played until 1am. Only when we reprimanded them that they got ready to bed.
