The joy of being pampered

It's rare that I get pampered.
Today, I am very pampered. Heee...

I took a PM off to have my medical appointment at SGH.
Chit Chat with 2 doctors. First the MO then the Consultant.
This all started with me having prolonged bleeding.
Rather, if I have a cut, it takes a long time to clot.

So, the consultant revealed a "truth" in my life!
I am VERY elastic!
He said "Sometimes, all blood test may reveal a positive result meaning you are fine. Then this could mean that maybe your blood doesn't coagulate well. So it's like very elastic."
Next, he took hold of my hand, bring my thumb to my wrist area.
Easy does it man... With no pain.
Then he bend my thumb backwards, stretched me wide from one hand to another hand and measure the distance, split my third and second finger.

Then told me I may be "suffering" from "MILD Marfun disease" (Dunno how to spell).
Some elasticity or something like that.
Suddenly, I feel that "Hey! Perhaps I can change my career to be an acrobat!!"
Well... Honestly, ya... It's something that affect the tissues and heart.
But doc say my heart is good.
Just that I am very "elastic".

Oh ya... Before I forget the title of my blog today.

I am pampered.

My friend who was nearby SGH came to pick me up and fetched me to AMK hospital to visit my another friend.
Then I stayed there for about another 1.5 hrs then came to pick me up for dinner...
Fantastic dinner!!! Char Siew Rice and a BIG bowl of "Salted Veg soup".
Then after dinner fetched me home.
Not forgetting, my presents from him is one big packet of white coffee, 10 Ang Ku Kuehs and 3 packets of chestnuts.

I felt like a princess all of a sudden. Machiam not used to it.
But it feels really good to catch up with him once in a while.
But must say, each time I meet up, he will bug me to get married fast.
He ah... Like grandfather tell stories... But he is far fetched from being my grandpa...
He's only 50+!
Always tell him to save his worries for all of his children!

You know?
Each time I meet up with him, I felt that being friends with my parents is NOT impossible!

Well, it's all a matter of perspective.

This elderly friend of mine nags constantly at me too but I receive it differently like I how receive from my parents.

Let's take it this way - We, or maybe I, fall into the habit of taking those closest to me for granted.

To me, all are nagging. It's just a matter of perspective. :)
