I am invited to the Istana!
I received great news today! I was invited to the Istana for a reception by the President himself. Wow! Isn't that great? It's my first time going to the Istana. I hope it was not a prank call by somebody. He told me that he would send me the invitation. I think I needed to fill up some forms before I could go. Well, it's for security purpose. Not everyone can go to Istana, you know. :P

HFMD
Thursday, 17th April
I took my son to his nursery at the usual time. We met the grandmother of one of his classmates on our way. We thought we were very late that morning, but the grandmother said that she came back because the mother was there with her grand-daughter. As we approached the centre, we met another grandmother who told us that there were only four kids present in the class. When we reached the centre, the teacher, Miss Joanne, told me that my son was the third pupil who came. I was surprised. She told me that the centre had a few cases of pupils getting Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease, so the centre was very particular with the health condition of the pupils. She checked my son and found a tiny ulcer in his mouth. I couldn't be sure whether he had bit himself, so she told me to take him to see a doctor.
The queue at the clinic was pretty long that day. We waited for almost half an hour or so. The doctor said it was unlikely to be HFMD, but he advised that he should stay home. It seemed that the disease has no definite symptoms. By the time the symptoms appear, the patient would have become the "carrier" of the dreadful disease which has no cure at the moment.

Woke up in the morning. First thing, to check my son for any ulcers. Well, the ulcer in his mouth seemed to have disappeared. Since he could not go to school, so we took him to the MacDonald's in West Coast. He enjoys going there as the MacDonald's is big and there are many playgrounds in the park. He wanted to cycle there, but I could not stay long as I needed to work in the afternoon. My wife didn't need to go to work that day, so we went there as a family.

Things to do -> need to take my boy for a review at the clinic. The centre requires us to have a memo from the doctor to certify him as "fit to go back to school". I cannot take him there as I have to work in the morning. So I asked my wife to do it. I think he should be able to return to school on Monday. :)
