Waiting day

Quite a busy morning as finished up some work and went for our annual privilege account certifcation with my colleagues. Decided to do it together so we could share knowledge and answers. Good thing for some materials too, we managed to pass the pre-assessment 100%. It was then off to lunch at the nearby famous ex-Blanco Court fish soup. Too bad it din taste as nice as before as we noticed they changed the cook.

Went for checkup at KKH today after lunch and spent the whole afternoon waiting and waiting. Although it goes by appointment time as queue no., I still waited almost 2.5hrs for my turn. My appointment time was 2.55pm and I reached at 2.15pm. It was already like 4.30pm+ when it was finally my turn. While waiting, I finished the last 1/4 of my chinese novel and managed to nap for quite a while. Really dunno when the queueing system is going to improve...

Blame it on some people who are always late, where some missed their turns and had to slot in between, and also the stupid appointment system too. Can you imagine there were appointment times like 2.50pm then 2.52pm then 2.55pm. How to see a patient within 2-3 mins where majority of them are pregnant and needs longer time.

Then there is the payment queue. Since the 1st visit, I have been smart to always grab a queue no. for payment 1st just minutes before I see the doctor. So it could be just 1-2 people in front of me for payment when I am done with the doctor. Otherwise, I could just tell the nurse I missed my no. and can sort of jump queue (and to avoid getting another queue no.).

Good thing is that there is finally improvement at the pharmacy as they have not only made the waiting area so much bigger, and had more counters to serve the people. Surprising only took me like 10-15 mins of waiting time there.

It had started raining since 3pm+ and din stop until I stepped out ard 5.30pm. Obviously the shutter bus queue was quite long, think had to wait for at least 2-3 turns so decided to sms my colleague to see if she will pass by if she going Toa Payoh. Lucky enough, she picked me up from the KKH bus stop and I had a rain-free ride home!

Was so hungry so bought some dishes from downstairs as mum had cooked rice and ate before taking a shower and started watching youtube then TV.

Its almost time for bed soon, but still feeling quite full. Hopefully no nightmare later!
