Woke up as usual at
6.15. Felt slightly feverish so i decided to go back to sleep. woke up again at
7.30. Michelle called to ask if i was going school. 2 minutes later
mak called to ask the same question. Went back to sleep yet again. at
8.00 my bro woke me up and asked me if i needed to go to school. told him i didnt feel well and i went back to sleep AGAIN! Then around
10.00 mum asked me y i wasnt in school i told her i didnt feel well. haha thankfully i mastered the skill of drifting in and out of sleep quickly.
11am, finally woke up for good. mum adviced me to go to marine parade's polyclinic instead of tampines cos tampines one queue damn long.
Overall the polyclinic experience was quite an interesting one.
Blur king case 1: i went in and went to the registration counter. person told me to get a queue number..haha i blur blur tried to look for the machine and had to ask again b4 i got it.
So i registered. person at counter had to confirm my address home number and hp no. Been awhile since i've been to a polyclinic. i dont even remember ever consulting a doctor at a polyclinic. So anyway i had to wait about
40 mins which isn't that long i guess. played my handphone while waiting.
12.27 finally my turn. doctor asked me lots of questions. Shows the standard of healthcare in singapore is rather good. got my mc and went to collect my medicine.
Blur king case 2: i sat in front of the pharmacy doing nothing waiting for my medicine. then i saw this tray that said drop ur prescriptions here. my prescription was in my hand LOL. so i dropped it in and waited..and waitedBlur king case 3: The lady at the pharmacy called me. n told me i had to pay at the payment counter first. PENG!Consultation cost $4.00. medicine cost $1.55. haha thats like a total of only
$5.55 Waited somemore after paying. got my medicine. lady speak like machine gun. after desribing each medicine i had to ask her to repeat. of which she didnt but anyway i can read so its still okay. Oh while waiting there was this relatively old indian man conversing in english with this old chinese woman. haha he kept complaining about poor service and how the people at the clinic couldnt think out of the box. Had to control myself not to laugh. anyway after MUCH MUCH waiting i finally collected my medicine and left.
Blur king case 4: i walked all teh way to the bus stop. looked through the plastic bag and look at my mc. on it it was printed. NOT VALID WITHOUT CLINIC STAMP. Needless to say i forgot to stamp it. So i had to walk all the way back to stamp itSo after getting my mc stamped i left for good. reached home about 2pm. and took a nap till i woke up for dinner. arh my nose is still blocked...i hate block noses. anyway thats about it on my first visit to the polyclinic since god knows when...Josh: poor him...
Abby: uhhuh i love u too LOLZ!!
Xinn: Don;t worry it'll turn out fine..ooh sudoku...
