Its amazing how one can be a parent and not know their child's full name.

Me: What is child's full name?

Parent: Maggie Teo.

Me: I mean full name. Like Maggie Teo Li Ling or sumthing.

And the so-called parent is stumped. Is it so difficult to remember their chinese name? I understand that some people do not have chinese name but in the above mentioned, that girl obviously has one. (he had to call back up to ask what the name was). Aiyo.

It's appaling to know that a parent could not remember the child's birthdate (when i say child, im thinking of ages between 2-6, mind you). If you're eighty and you forget, I could still forgive you lar. But, if your child was born several years ago, i mean how could your ACTUALLY forget? Maybe childbirth was akin to defecating. Maybe that's why they forgot. Terrible.

Oh yeah, one more thing. When your child is sick, puhleese remember their birth certificate numbers. If not, bring that damn cert along! I had to deal with these so frequently that I'm quite frustrated.

Can't remember full name, can't remember birthday, can't remember b/c no. So, you tell me what I should do? Neneh betul. Lucky their essential parts are firmly attached, otherwise, only He knows. Pui!

On a happier note, I enjoyed working at the clinic (minus those muddle-headed parents). =)
And my, my these blardy doctors sure earn A LOT.
