happy winter solstice

may i present to you, the only bowls of glutinous rice balls in our house today. tada....
yup...only 3. i took a bowl, grandma took one and another....hehe....beanie, the dog had it.
only grandma likes them but her stomach is not that good at digesting them now. i like the dry ones like this eaten with crushed peanuts. some like it in syrup soup. i only know my sis, lin siew loves this...not sure about the other siblings. dun think they are fans. if it is not the winter solstice, i dun think we will be making them at all.

oh, thank you everyone for your well wishes for the 2 patients at home. dad is acting like he hasn't done any surgery at all, he even went out for his usual breakfast in town on his motorbike. i was worried that dirt might get into his eye and cause infection...but he seems ok.

but the other patient was not that easy to deal with. i am going to drive grandpa down tomorrow morning for another blood test (inr). there is no way he can escape the test because that is the only way the doctor can check his condition. he has been saying no no no, he did not want to go for another test because it was painful. i am sure it was when he was staying in the hospital where they did blood test every morning. i had to be mean this afternoon and told him he had to go for tomorrow's test no matter what and we would see what the doctor say after the test. i did not give him a choice.

frankly, i think he might have to go for weekly check-up after this and by check-up, it only means blood test. better keep this from him first. no gp in tm will take his case...it needs a specialist care.

appetite wise, he is ok. he is just still recovering from all those physical pains where the needles struck.

and i still haven't packed. will check the weather forecast again before i do that tomorrow. hope i won't leave anything. got to go and get my sleep now.
