When Porridge Taste So Good
By peace | September 18, 2007
This is Clara’s eyes. This morning, she had difficulty opening her eyes. They were all sticky and puffy. This picture was taken last night. This morning, her eyes did not get better despite the medicine I had used. I decided to bring her to the doctor.
Clara was given two days of M.C. After seeing doctor, we went to the school. I need to look for her teacher to discuss about her matter. I did not manage to see the teacher. I shall dealt upon this in another post.
Back home, I cooked porridge and boiled some broccoli and corn which I had bought yesterday while getting medicine for Clara. I had not been cooking regularly. Most of the time we ate package food. I had been so busy and I had not been having good appetite. Since Clara is sick, I cooked some simple food today.
While eating porridge today, I just found how nice plain porridge can be. The taste of food is dependent on your state of health actually. All people have different preference for food. To a sick person, any nice food would not taste good, but to a healthy person, plain porridge is tasteless and too blend for him. However, today, I just feel plain porridge, without any extra dish to go along with is just so nice and appetizing in fact.
This is what Clara ate for lunch today.

[…] Clara’s eyes are so much better now. The eye drops given by the doctor is very good. She also must take antibiotics. Just another thing to say about the Vice Principal. She attempted to help when we were at the general office. We reached the office, looking up for the teacher. Apparently, they could not locate the teacher at all, even though we were given consent form that the children will be having remedial lesson in the IT Resource Room. Phone calls were made, whole school paging was made, but the teacher never responded. How can parents have assurance or peace of mind from such kind of school’s operating system or teacher? […]

[…] It is so good to feel good again. I mean not feeling sick. For those days that I were very sick, I had to cover back all my work when I am well again. Getting well really takes time. Today, I felt more vigour. I had done so many things today. Clara is sick, bringing her to see doctor, cooking lunch and dinner for the children, doing laundry, and writing for posts for money, visit to Clara’s school and giving tuition to Valerie. […]

[…] Sore Eyes Spread Just as I was getting better, I am feeling a bit sick now. I feel sore in my throat now. My eyes are dry and I can sense some itch. Richard had sore eyes yesterday, after Clara. This morning, Clara’s eyes were much better. However, it was Richard’s turn to have sore eyes. He could not open his eyes this morning. They were all sticked together. […]

[…] Time vs Money Clara went to a private neighbourhood doctor’s clinic and we pay a total of S$34 for doctor’s consultation and medicine. If we go to the polyclinic, perhaps, we pay less than $10 for everything or perhaps about $12-$15, depending on the cost of the medicine. I would rather bring her to the private clinic than to the polyclinic. How do I make such decision? For going to the polyclinic, I need to take public transport. At the polyclinic, I need to wait about 3-4 hours to get to see a doctor. The fastest, if not so crowded, would perhaps be in about 1-2 hours based on my past experience. At the private neighbourhood doctor’s clinic, I do not need to wait more than 30minutes. For a difference of perhaps $20, I save time — I can save up to 4 hours. What can I do in four hours? I can do a lot of things. If I am lucky, I can get a post of $50 or $500, and I am earning back the money. However, I am never such lucky. Never before. Not even the $777 or $77 opportunities at PayPerPost. But I will be happy if I have a post of $10, if not $8.50. Recently, there was a number of $7 posts at PayPerPost. I would need to write at least 5 posts to earn back this amount of money. However, this time round, I was lucky that the amount was able to be claimed at the school, under the insurance scheme — since everything started soon after Jun Yi had hit Clara on her nose bridge. So I got to held him responsible. […]
