Bai-kah’s rubbish talk

Spent only 3+ hrs out with mom and I was so tired! The walking around made me my legs so so tired. 

Brought mom to RainbowCare as I wanted to get her a shower chair but turned out the day before SIL bought one online for her. But since I wanted to head down, I’ll go down to check out if there are other things that she might need. Since it’s the elderly item I’m getting her, I had to be careful and needed her to be present to test it out herself even though I am a great fan of 淘宝. 

Saw a wheelchair that looks like a trolley 😂 and wanted to get that for her to put in her home. So when she comes by to my house, I can bring it with me and let her use it when we bring her out. Skinny lil’ one even struggled to push her around 😂.


My boot cannot put in the normal sturdy huge wheelchair. I tried once in my car (not hubby’s car which is even smaller) and the back seat passengers had to tilt their seat back forward, every bump we drive pass the back will move. It was a tight squeeze standing it upright. Hit a plastic panel in the car 😱. It will only fit my car if I brought both back seats down and lay the wheelchair flat, if I’m alone with her can lah! But if with the family then how? But she didn’t want for a few reasons. 

Then as we were leaving, I saw this and bought it. I hope it can give me some support 


Went to PLQ for lunch. Two paikah people struggling to walk in the mall. It only dawned upon me when mom talked about malls with wheelchair rental. I checked but PLQ stopped the services. Struggling to walk, it only made both my legs more tired. Was hoping to get some exercise this week but looks like I gotta skip. 
Mom couldn’t walk anymore, just barely a few steps from the dining table; not even out of Hanis and she asked to sit down. I want to sit down too but I had things to get from Popular, Challenger and NTUC. I too, had to stand to rest my pain left ankle and my tired right leg once in a while. Torlong torlong my ankle recover faster for the trip. 

Today is an example on why some days I can’t cook dinner. It’ll be late by the time I reach home, I looked forward to a nice cold shower and wouldn’t want to tire myself further by cooking a 3+1 dinner. I was tired from walking in PLQ that I didn’t have the energy to pack dinner from there. Instead drove back home and stopped by at the small mall opposite us and packed dinner. Popped the economical rice’s dishes in the oven to keep warm, it’ll save my trouble to climb up and down the organ stool to get access to our “high” and mighty microwave oven. 

So difficult to wear it. It didn’t help me, spent $30 to only make my ankle more painful the next morning (11th)
