We met up and had ma la steamboat for dinner... Sorry for being late for 1 hour plus and to let Dear wait for the seats alone at the restaurant. =P
After dinner, we then went to The Cannery - BarFly to chill out with Andrew, Bernard, Grace and Choco. It is quite a nice place to slack and I quite like it there... especially for the big table that we sat at.
However, the tables at the centre reminded me of Melbourne's Crown Casino where we ate the AUD2.80 Fish and Chips! Hehee!
We stayed there till 2plus at night and then proceeded to Mr Bean at Selegie for supper.
At Mr Bean, the conversation topic led from buying insurance policy to chickenpox then to shingles. The topic of chickenpox started as I was telling Dear about my dad... Somehow the word 'shingles' seems to make everyone feels uneasy...
Then again I heard stories that shingles can be very dangerous and may be life-threatening and things like that. In fact, I looked alright at the point when we were discussing about this topic, I am actually quite worried about my dad, as my grandma indeed passed away previously as she was also suffering from shingles...
To many Chinese, they called this sickness as the 'snake'... This is bcoz there will be blisters outbreak around the waist area, which makes it look like a belt... But a belt that causes pain to the nerves around the waist.
I see the scariness of this virus since I have seen it killed someone in my life. Furthermore, I have been hearing stories from my parents about how 'the snake' could attack the person... Even the word itself brings shivers to us...
Many 'what if' questions went thru my mind after the conversation... Actually I was already quite worried about my father but the conversation made me feel worst in some way... Ended up thinking too much and crying in the cab while we were on our way home. Luckily Dear was around to comfort me. Even now, I will think about it, get worried and upset at times. Frankly speaking, this is my first time experiencing such a feeling - the feeling of being afraid to lose someone important... But probably I was just thinking too much...
Well, I guessed one of the things I could is to pray for my dad's recovery. And I really hope he will recover! PLEASE...
