Every time I mentioned I am stressed with stuff in my life, many will ask me to take a break and spend time alone.

Go on staycation. Go out and have a nice meal. Blah blah blah.

Here I am at my chalet again, Singapore General Hospital (SGH). Who needs to spend money on a staycation when the hospital costs more? I get professional care, healthy food and also time away from family and work.

Anyway, I’m in for further investigation on my heart and lungs. The procedure is called cardiac (left and right) catheterization. I have to fast after midnight before the procedure and I just finished the last bite of my sandwich at 23:59.

The PJs are really old fashioned. Reminds me of the landlord lady character from the Kungfu Hustle movie.

Why are bottoms light coloured? They are not practical at all. Women have menstruation and blood does leak out from time to time. I’ve changed a few pairs of bottoms already. 😥

This is one of the top 10 hospitals in the world and no one cares enough about the ugly PJs. After all, what is more important are the skills of the doctors and nurses.

The nurse that look around the same age as me called me auntie, asked me if I am still getting menstruation and kept speaking to me in my second language. I dunno if I want to laugh or cry.

Then, I looked around and I gathered women that get admitted to this ward are of a particular age range. Much older than me for sure! Triple blow on top of having to come in for medical procedure.

I can call myself auntie, but I have mixed feelings when other people call me auntie especially when they are not that young. I am not happy with this staycation so far…
