Back in Hotel Starship

Latest news for family and friends

Princess of the House developed high temperature on Sat after an afternoon at a friend's birthday party. Hubby checked her into ED (emergency department). We are now back in hospital, on two different antibiotics (Gentamicin and Amoxycilin). Waiting for blood cultures and bile cultures to see what's brewing.

Princes of the House looks a bit tired today and worries she will not be able to get to tomorrow's first and only full-dress rehersals for the school's cultural festival on Wed and Thur night. She is in the Maori performance group. I can't wait to hear the kids sing "He Honore".

Nothing much to report. Outside the hospital, the city looks still and awfully silent. Ant-size cars can be spotted from our window. Spongebo and Patrick are having their inane conversations. Since we checked in at 1.30am this morning, I best get some sleep.

  2. I am not too sure whether you are the same person I remember from my days working at YTL. My former boss, Yeoh Soo Min, had a friend with the same name... any which way, I read about you from Rocky's blog. I am also sorry to hear about your little girl. It cannot be easy!

  5. Hi Yogi
    Yes, it's me. I've always wondered how you've been doing... and have been hearing odd pieces of news from "the guys".
    What a pleasant surprise to meet up again in cyberspace, thanks to Rocky.
    And how sad to learn of the Princess' illness. My heart goes out to your little darling.
    Please do drop me an email soon.
    Cheers

  6. Hi,

    sad to know about your princess of the house.

    I believed you will not be able to remember you for the last time I talked with you was when i was in Brisbane and you were at the other side of Australia.

    I did try to call you from London but could not get through. And that was about 10 years ago.

    Just passing through here from rocky's bru.
