Wah... last nite got a msg from my fren asking whether I want to go visit leong during our free periods or not..of coz i said yes coz so free ma recently... so decided to shift bio to a later class...of coz at first they wanted to shift to da earliest one at 8am.. but you know carpool la... cannot change. Besides quite late ade. How to inform leh? Haih... so mahuan sometimes.
Anyway, so thus it was decided until leela told us this morning that Leong was already discharged from hospital leh... Although she did mention that he'll be back for physiotherapy... So maybe we could catch him...if we're lucky.
Btw, she also gave us 2 phone numbers, apparently, one was for Mrs. Leong and another 4 his son...neways we went to get a card for both leong and angeline... *We're thinking of visiting her later la..*
The cards we've chosen were pretty funny/cute for leong/angeline respectively. Then we as shopaholics went to buy some nice scrunchies lo...hehe... No such thing as an inappropriate time for shopping leh...lol..
Ok, then it was time to search for pantai medical (hosp where leong was staying) since we had virtually no idea where it was except a few directions from SS's uncle...
I must say the signboards put up by the hosp were pretty lousy...so minuscule... How do u except old/vision-impaired ppl 2 see it? Aiya... Anyway we went around in quite many circles and only managed 2 locate the small signboards later... argghh... =(
*Going around in circles*
When we arrived, we went to the physiotherapy center and was dismayed to find that leong had already went home... Apparently his session finishes/starts [sorry can't rmb which] abt 9:30am and his son didn't know that when we called him earlier....
And omg, leong drove to the hosp ALONE... When his neck is supposedly encased in a Collar thingy...omg!
So pity him la... but we tot that maybe his relatives might have offered 2 sent him but him being him would insist on going on his own... Well well... Anyway the thing is: We dunno where he IS!! And he doesn't have a handphone due to his issues with such stuff... ~sigh~ So diff 2 locate him... His son gave us another number to call to see whether he was there but to no avail...*How many homes does he have anyway? Need to call so many numbers one....aiya*
By that time we decided to give it another try after me and lyd's bio class at 1... [in the end we din shift class afterall] so back to college we went! Since it was almost time i only had a bun for lunch... Hence my growling stomach now... *sigh* so hungry..
Anyway... After bio class, we congregated at the porch... Wondering what to do now... Since angeline too wasn't picking up her hp (apparently she also was discharged too) and God knows where leong was... After calling Mrs. Leong's hse which was picked up by his daughter--who unfortunately doesn't know where he is either.... So we're at a loss.... Dare not call his son since leela said his son was 'angry' for our incessant calling (for god's sake, we only called twice, okay?)...
Until I got a brainwave to call the number given by the son...and Bingo!! He was there....! And picked up...and mumbled quite a lot of words that I could not catch [LL's speaker mode is very blur leh...] Well, I caught something something abt our past year papers la.. He asked CP to print out the marking scheme from dunno wat website la...
Wah, he really IS such a dedicated teacher leh... So sick already still can worry abt us... [Apparently he's quite ill according to what leela said. His vertebrae is kinda getting close together so it's pressing on his spinal chord.. So it's really causing him pain --poor thing-- :(
Somehow i've gotten quite fond of leong *and not afraid to admit it too!* even though he might be a fussy old man sometime... But I know that he actually has a heart of gold & he truly cares for his students~ He says he'll try to come back to coll next week if his situation improves. SO DEDICATED!]
Right. Again I digress. Back to task!
Anyway after telling us not to come to visit him since his nerve is troubling him and needs rest ~he din want us wasting our time either~ so that's it. Cannot visit leh... [was wanting to see how his home looks like wo, told my frenz that it was a priviledge to visit his house leh..lol] so then we tried the umpteenth time to contact angeline but to no avail.
Strange. They say that she's alwiz wif her hp one leh... ~shrug~
So that was the story of our search for lecturer(s)... *huge sigh* A total failure. Bah! Why are they so diff to contact ah?
Aiyo.. want to visit them also fail. Blek~
