Posted on September 15, 2022September 15, 2022 by Shireen

When Cass went into the MRI room at the MRI Complex @ HKL for an MRU procedure, I sat outside to wait for her. As I had not slept well nor had enough sleep the past few nights, I dozed off on the chair for almost half an hour. I find that I sleep so…

Posted on September 13, 2022September 14, 2022 by Shireen

During registration on Thursday (Day 1), the staff at HKL asked me for a letter from Cass’ school to confirm that she’s a student of the high school. But the nurse in charge did not inform me to bring this letter along prior to the appointment! Without this letter, I would have to pay for…

From what was supposed to be a one-day procedure at the hospital, Cass ended up spending 3 days at the hospital. Dang Murphy’s Law! Cass seems to attract Murphy’s Law quite a bit in a hospital setting. It was an indeed eventful 3 days at the hospital. First we waited in vain the entire day…

After more than a year of hiatus from our visits to HKL due to Covid-19 (HKL was a red zone), Cass and I are back at HKL on 20 June 2022. I started to make calls to the head of urologist’s nurse to get the appointment and after months of trying, she finally gave me…

After 2 years 4 months I finally made a trip back to Ipoh with Cass. We took the 8.47 a.m. ETS train from KL Sentral to Ipoh. Traffic was super duper bad and we really thought that we would miss the train. Gawd, I was so so tensed throughout the journey from our house to…

Yet another drama happened to Cass on Friday – she with her beloved Haru, which resulted in us at the clinic again. On Friday night Cass put Haru inside a box and played ‘peekaboo’ with her. Cass must have put her face right outside the flaps of the box to “Peekaboo” at Haru. When Haru…

One of the privileges of turning 18 is getting a savings account in her own name.
