H1N1

Sigh...hope and pray that it won't happen but looks like it's not meant to be...

The patient, a 22—year—old Singapore Management University student, is currently being treated at the Communicable Disease Centre at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) and is in stable condition.

The Singaporean woman was in New York from May 14—24. She arrived back in Singapore from New York on SQ25 on 26 May at 6.30am. She was seated at Row 55.

She began to develop a cough while onboard. She passed the thermal scanner uneventfully as she did not have fever then.

Later in the morning, she consulted a GP who decided to send her to TTSH via a 993 ambulance, given her travel history.

She was immediately admitted for testing. Laboratory confirmation of her infection was made by midnight of 26 May.

The patient has been vigilant in monitoring her own condition and had sought immediate medical attention once she realized that she was unwell.

Her attending GP, through his quick response in activating the 993 ambulance for the patient, had also helped to minimize the spread of infection from this case.

Argh!

The weather has been so weird that i don't know what to expect anymore.

I just wish it would make up it's mind if it want to rain or just give us hot/humid days that at those time i feel like i am slowly wilting away....haha.

It has been kinda cloudy where i am staying but it didn't rain, WHY WHY WHY!

Really wishing that the rainy seasons would come soon, sigh. PLEASE!!

Special

Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers out there and especially to my mum!

Thank you mum for all of your hard work to bring us up. I can never thank you enough for everything :)

Seri, my brother's future fiancee came to the house today to celebrate Mother's Day with us, isn't that nice of her :) Hope mum enjoyed her day today even though it was not a long celebration as Mimi & Seri had to go to other places.

Appt

In the end i decided to go ahead for my cardio dr appt.

As i had expected when i reached NHC, the first thing they asked everyone to do was to wear the mask and to give them our I.C to register the ppl who was visiting the place. I don't mind so much wearing the mask. I came around 9am and my appt was to be at 930am. I went to wait for my turn and i didnt expect it at all when my number was called next! Wow so lucky.

Saw the dr and she asked me how was my progress and so forth. She was happy to see my Haemoglobin (HB), one of the blood test that i had taken was normal and asked about the Ultrasound from GS. I told her the i had not gone for that appt yet as it would only be on the 18th. And to my surprised she said, i don't need to go for my GS appt as my blood level seems normal enough for now. Yippe! One appt less for me.

So the next appt will be in 6 months time to see her and i have to do an ECG on arrival as well.

I've talked to my sis, Ipah and she said even though that's what the dr told me, i still can't be "lazy" and not look after myself. I need to go out more and "TRY" to exercise as well as what i've always been saying to myself and until now i haven't done anything about it xD.

Oh yeah about the operation, the dr was saying, it won't be happening anytime soon but she just wanted me to be aware that i would need to go for one if things turn out for the worse. As for now i will just be monitored.

Something..

Alhamduliliah, yesterday event for my brother has gone smoothly. It was nice to see old faces from our kampung days. They seems surprised to see me, either because i have grown taller, fatter or just different looking! One of them even commented that i look like my mum! How strange, i don't have my mum eyes, so how can i look like her... But i felt bad that i could only recognised 1 of them as he was close to one of my uncle.

It will be a chaotic month in July for him, hehe. I think Mimi is abit stress just thinking about it.

I wonder if i should go for my dr appt this coming wednesday. With the H1N1 flu going around i am not keen to go to any hospital. Maybe i should call them up to have my appt date change.

I have also been feeling restless and not really my usual self the past few days. Hard to explain. Sigh.
