I had a medical appointment at Alexandra Hospital this afternoon, and I didn't know how to get there from my workplace. And so, I was smoking with a couple of my colleagues and I asked one of them.
Me: "Eh how to get to AH from here ah?"
David: "You walk out of Ngee Soon Camp hor, at the traffic light you see any vehicle coming right, ah you step out lor. Before doing so hor, you write a note and paste it on your chest saying 'Please bring me to AH.' like that lor. Will get there lah."
Me: "Thanks. Eh, I'm not coming to work anymore leh. The next time you'll get to see me is next Tuesday."
David: "How come? On leave ah?"
Me: "No lah. next Tuesday just nice one week from today mah. 7th day I'll come back look for you lor."
And so, I took the train to Jurong East MRT station, and switched to bus no. 197. Reached AH at around 2:45pm, and waited for my appointment at 4pm. I told the doctor that I don't need anymore excuse from IPPT already. I'm fit to take the physical test. And so, he arranged the next physiotherapy for me and I left the hospital.
I was thinking that I needed a new pair of basketball shoes as the old pair has already lost its soles. So I happily strolled to Queensway Shopping Centre to buy my new shoes. Went in, got the shoes and a knee sleeve to support my right knee, and I headed home.
Met the guys for basketball this evening.
Twisted my right knee.
