Letter to Forum Page, Straits Times

Mon. March 9th 2009

Reading the reply from Minister Mentor's Principal Private Secretary Mr Chee Hong Tat really got me all worked up - I felt that his words "It would be stupid for any Singapore agency or NTU to advocate the learning of dialect.........." was a bit strong.

I hope my letter in reply will be accepted in the right spirit...............there are ordinary Singaporeans like me who feel a loss in the declining use of our mother dialects.............

VISIT TO THE VET - PART 4

Mon. 2nd Mar 2009

Another visit to the vet tonight for Max!

Although his constipation problem seems to be getting better, we noticed him having problem keeping his eyes open last night and this morning and saw that his 'mata kuching' were cloudy. So, no choice and it's off to see Dr Jean Sim once again........

At the examination table, during the usual struggle while being held down, Max did a 'Body in Motion' and presented Jean Sim with one precious nugget. So, constipation not a problem for now, hopefully.......

The eye problem may or may not be serious, depending on how well he response to the eye-drop treatment (PRED FORTE - prednisoione acetate, Allergan). And the $ damage this time:

consultation $25.00
eye drop $16.00
GST $ 2.87

Total $43.87
