Valerie's visit to Sinseh

After her persistant cough, we decided to bring her to see a chinese sinseh. We originally wanted to goto the one at Marine Parade but his mom asked us to goto one at Geylang Lor 26 instead. Apparently she has bought Seng to that sinseh when he was young.

So after Valerie is off school, we hop on a cab and went straight to Geylang Lor 26. To our horror, it was CLOSED for lunch till 2pm! HB was hopping mad coz his mom kept saying the man (who is a better sinseh than this wife) sees patients until 3pm! We reached there at 1pm and we'll have to wait 1 hour for the clinic to open. Worse of all, we are not sure whether it will be the guy or his wife who is taking the afternoon session.

As we do not want to risk, we took a cab back to Marine Parade.

When we were there, we thought the Q was alright.. but even so, we waited almost 2 hours from start to end. Throught this time, HB was busy entertaining Valerie and we worried abt her nap time. Thank god this girl was very guai and patient.

When it was our turn, the sinseh merely asked Valerie to put her hands on the 'pillow'. We didn't say anything and he was able to tell us that Val has sensitive airway and is coughing. He prescribed us some herbs for her cough and some other herbs to be made into soup to help her immune system.

HB seeing that he is quite accurate, also asked the sinseh to prescribe him some herbs.

Overall bill is quite cheap (compared to seeing a PD). S$40, including herbs, for 2 person.

Now only hope that the herbs can really help Valerie & HB lor.
