Small Steps

Ryan had his MMR booster yesterday and boy, was it expensive. In Singapore, kids get all the immunizations they need FOC from the polyclinics. Parents don't pay a cent unless they go to private doctors. That one jab here costs US$85! The clinic was referred to us by the company - we do not know where else to go for cheaper jabs.

And with a few phone calls, I managed to schedule the start of electric, gas, water and garbage collection services for the house so the utilities will be ready when we move end of the month. Now that was efficient. I will probably call Comcast today for cable, internet and telephone services. Hope it will be as easy as for the utilities.

But I think we are in trouble for the appliances. The better half kept proscrastinating for reasons I still cannot pretend to comprehend. CostCo tells me it takes up to 10 business days to deliver on appliances and we still have not ordered them. That means we could end up for a week or more without a fridge, washer, dryer and goodness knows what else we need. May have to revisit Sears but I am afraid better half will launch into one of the endless tirades if I suggest it. We'll see...
