Chapter 10 The Private Nurse

Looking for another  working position in Singapore  was then,not that difficult.Another thing - her lover could easily secure her another job at ease but he did not even bother to try.That was because he never wanted to expose her further to the general public.
So he actually was doing a lot of thinking scheming what to do next?.Well,he need not look further because within those time his dear aged mother was getting ill and getting serious by the days.Being old her movement were  slow and restricted.Not only that she also needed medical attention round the clock.

Being a filial son he immediately thought of recruiting a nurse to take of his dear mother.Her wife duly agreed him.Ming fitted in his program.By employing her as his mother's private nurse suited his plan.At least ,now she would not only have a job and definitely kept her sane.At the time he could see most of the time whenever he wants.


He was fully aware that spelled danger as that would meant that she and him will be under scrutinized by his beloved family most important of which was his dear beloved wife.Nevertheless he took the plunge to employ her.


When he told Ming about his plan she was very happy and willingly agreed to nurse his mother.She was elated because this could mean she be most of the time be under the same roof with her lover.Both duly discussed what they were about to encounter should be employed.She agreed without hesitation to all his terms.

Certainly now our dear Ming was readily at hand to serve him better.The thing was would it be safe with her around the house?.Would she aroused the suspicion of his immediate family.However after careful thinking he made up his mind to take the risk with her.

He thought that by  making her understand his predicaments he would be safe.Of course he also made her promise to be a good girl while nursing his mother.Well,would a young woman suffering from schizophenia be contained to behave herself, was left to be seen.

Nevertheless he took that plunge to employ her as hs mother's private nurse.
Posted by PicasaWell,initially she did behaved very well as any nurse should.Oh yeah,she could try her very best but the old man was very "ham sup"or romantic.He began sneaking on her from behind.Grabbing her from  the back,holding her tightly and kissing her feverishly.

Of course he was extremely careful in the beginning.Performing his act whenever his his family members were out.He could not careless of the other servants.In any case he would  always made them perform other chores away- from the mother's room.But things sometimes cannot be that wonderful- so nice.

So brave was he that he sometimes forgot the sick old mother who was always asleep whenevr he creeped unto her to hold her tightly and kissed her warmly.Yes,for once the  old lady caught a glimse of his dear son making love to the private nurse.But both were so immensely involved to worry about anyone seeing them in close embarass.

However,the old lady was too sick or weak to sound out anything or made any gesture to arouse them that she was awake.In any cthey were too involved to  notice her.

Somehow the old lady did not even inform her daughter-in-law of her son's encounter with the private nurse.If she does that ,that was certainly disastrous. The whole family would definitely plunged into chaos.His wife would have crucified him. Instead she chose to do her way quietly.

 So one day while the nurse had gone on leave she called her son to her side.There she whispered into his ears,"Your damn old fool,stop what you are doing with the nurse""You stop the affair or I terminate it for you,for the sake of your family".But when he offered to explain further to her.

She hastily told him,"Sack her.I do not need her service anymore and if you do not stop her,I will tell your wife to". With  strict instruction given he just simply had to obey as most filial son would do.So Ming was told to leave in a nice way.She packed  left quietly as he insisted but she kept asking for a reason why her services  was not required.
 

Chapter 7 Her Father's Demised

On learning of her being brought back to Kuala Lumpur her loving father without any consideration immediately drove down to Kuala Lumpur all by himself in his old faithful car.When he arrived at her sister's house he immediately saw Ming in the room.

When she saw him she could recognized him and lugged at him. Grabbing him with joy,as the old man was very dear to her.She was immensely filled with joy and happiness as she held him close to him.Within that moment she appeared well and could remember all things very well.That did not last long as she soon drift away to a transformation of behavior. By now all understands her predicament so they all went along and allowed her be.

That evening they all had dinner together.There were not sufficient room for her brother and friend.So their brother and friend left to lodge at a five- star hotel in the City.Their father stayed back at the sister's house.That evening while chit chatting with her dear father,her father held her (Ming's) hands tightly closed to him. Showering his affection and kind words for her his lovely daughter as he had not seen her for quite a while.

As he held her hands Ming suddenly discovered her father's hands extremely cold,too cold for comfort.Her enthusiasm aroused those around to feel their dear father's fore head.They found that he was having fever and he frown at it insisted it was actually minor , a small thing too small to reckon with. However the family forced him to consult a nearby doctor.

So the family send him to a nearby clinic. On examination the doctor in attendance insisted he be send to the hospital immediately.So in haste the family sent him to the University Medical Centre,Petaling Jaya where he was hospitalized.His condition was stable when admitted.He seem alright and was cheerful but they still kept him in the hospital for further observation.

He was thus in hospital for about three days,by the end of which Ming had some allusion that her father had called her to take him home the following day as he thought he was well.She could be thinking about about her dad most of the time that was why she fell into that allusion whereas she actually never received a call from her dear father.Of course she was missing her dear father all those while.

Unfortunately that unfaithful evening a late night call came from the hospital requesting their presence at the hospital as their father condition had suddenly turned deteriorated.The whole family rushed to the hospital expecting to see their father in a critical condition but when on arrival the authorities concerned informed them that their father had passed away.That shocked the whole family.

The sudden death of their family saddened the family and a great blow to all.The one most effected by his sudden demised was undoubtedly Ming and her condition deteriorated bad further.This unfortunately burdened the whole family.On one hand they have to take care of the funeral of their father and at the same time Ming.

Although the funeral Ming 's condition deteriorated and the family had difficulties in keeping her quiet especially the poor mother who had just lost her husband and also to care for her lovely daughter.To care for a mentally ill is definitely very difficult although by now she had experienced many of of her odd behaviors.Many a times she would fall into a lapse of hallucinations with memories varying.

Thee were times she seemed to be seeing funny,funny things.Talking to herself or to some one that was non existence.Laughing all of a sudden which without warning transformed into a crying baby.She would cry aloud but such were common occurrence.The feared things of all these were her sudden screaming out of no where.She would also suddenly gave out loud yell,putting every 0ne in a state of shock.

The one she dearly missed glaringly in her delusions was her lover,that old lover,the famous architect from Singapore.Till then her brother had failed to locate him or only to be inform that he was still overseas for business.When in good mood she would sing lovely tunes about him serenading as if to him. When she could not see him,her tone would turned onto awful curses of him.

Her mother had not seen that old lover of her daughter.it was through her dear brother that her mother and other family siblings came to know of the existence of an old lover.This surprised the dear mother as the lover was s old her.How absurd and ridiculous her daughter can be.However, that was not the time any more to dispute or reject that very fact that her dear daughter has an old lover as old as her parents.

The old mother was left in anguished about her daughter's lover and how to address him should they meet.Well,to call him brother would be stupid and addressed him as son-in-law does hold any better for he is was old as her or her husband.Those funny ideas drifted by her mind.Well at least she had the presence of mind to see how things later on,but up to that stage they have to locate that old lover immediately.

So her brother returned to Singapore after their father's funeral.When in Singapore he finally contacting the old Architect and told him about his mistress. The astonished old lover had just returned home to Singapore,therefore had much to do before he could focus his attention on his lover.He was and still is the head of one of Singapore largest and most famous Architecture Company.Therefore he was an extremely busy man.

He also had to be extra careful as not to arouse his wife and family that he has a mistress.Should they know him of his extra mural activities that would be disastrous. He took a few days extra to adjust everything before he could fly straight to Kuala Lumpur.That too he could never be away long but Kuala Lumpur is within easy reach and he could travel to and fro within a few hours on the same day without arousing any suspicion from the wife.It was simple for all these his Assistants could easily have them arranged for him.

When he was ready he took a morning flight straight to Kuala Lumpur.Before his flight he had pre-direct contact with Ming's sister.When he arrived the sister and husband were at hand to welcome him at the Subang Airport.No time was wasted as they took him straight home.On the way they told him of Ming's condition and that she was longing to see him.

On arrival they took him straight to Ming's room.As he approached her he was taken aback. Because as they neared Ming her. She looking at him with surprise shouted."Who is this old man?".Yes at first she could hardly recognized him.And he tried to hold her minds she pushed him away , shouted again,"Go away from me you dirty old bastard.Go away".Seeing her in such a bad state, they all withdrew from the room,leaving the mother behind to console her.

Her mother had a tough time convincing her that that old man was indeed her lover and had come top see her.However most of time her mind wandered away but when her mind drifted back to her lover she suddenly remembered her lover. Then only she slowly asked for him.Fortunately he was still around and he quickly went in to see her.Initially she was quite angry with him accusing him of not caring for her.The old lover was quick to please her with sweet loving words.With that they shared some passionate moments together.

However her condition was temporary and changes with extreme haste.When ever she felt angry she would shout at her lover again and again.Why? because her mind was set on returning to Singapore and reside there for good.With her condition or with her having that sickness which could relapse every now and then,he had second thoughts about taking her back to Singapore.

Therefore the most ideal place to place her was in Kuala Lumpur with her mother.As he could see the living space within her sister's house was too small to house Ming and her mother. He suggested to purchase a house for her in Kuala Lumpur.The house he ruled should be quite near to her sister's residence.As such her sister could look after them when ever possible.

With that arranged he immediately flew back to Singapore just before night fall.Her sister was given the task to locate the house Ming and mother.The best thing be within the housing estate of her sister's,but that failed.Within a week or so she finally located one - two and a half stories linked house in Taman Sri Sinar,Segambut.

Their mother also took a second look at the house and she seem to like it very much
The mother was impressed by the locality as well as the house itself as it was newly re-painted and therefore extremely cleaned.It was walking distance from her sister's house.Of course she made sure that the house be not too near to her residence .She made it doubly sure they could not be bothering her every now and then for the smallest of all problems.Or was it her husband's idea?.

The mother and daughter met the house owner who quoted a market price of one hundred and seventy thousands.Both parties mutually agreed to it .With that in hand they informed Ming's lover who has returned to Singapore, of the price of the house etc.. He was at hand to receive the news and immediately without hesitation he remitted about three hundred thousands to her sister,the Bank Manager.

The house was purchased with cash from her lover.The extras were utilized for furniture and other house hold items.Later the lover also remitted some extra cash for her future expanses,all placed in bank accounts.He also brought a a car of her choice
to keep her happy.That was in mid 1995,and she was just recovering from her lapse of the mental illness.

Well.she could not drive the car initially as she had not recovered fully but her mother could.So they have a comfortable life without a doubt for money as her dear old lover had fully provided them with.With much extra cash in hand her mother invested part of the money in shares.Those investments were placed in her mother's name as she was still not well as yet.Well that was the best thing the mother could have done at that very moment but that prove her wrong as time went on..

The house was purchased without any hitch and there was ample cash for every thing.Her old lover surely made sure she stayed back in Kuala Lumpur for good making her life as comfortable as possible.Both Ming and her mother shifted into that house as soon as all documents finalized.What a relief for the sister's family?.

With her mother tending to her,Ming recovered slowly and steadily.Her old lover would called her whenever possible but he kept informing her that he would be on overseas trip most of the time.There were times when away he would remit her a post card or so.However he still called her whenever he was back in Singapore.

He knew very well she was yearning for him most of the time.He keeping her waiting .hanging there waiting for his call.What a cruel attitude I think.But that was the way to keep her happy otherwise she would want to return to Singapore.He kept reminding her that she can see him in Singapore whenever he be free because Singapore is only a few hours from Kuala Lumpur by express bus and nearer by plane,so consoling her there were o big deal.

However, old lover of course was indeed a very busy and according to her is the Boss of a famous architectural firm which designed the Esplanade of Singapore a couple years back.Well that what she told me.

Chapter 9 Singapore Here She Returned

On receiving the news that she was once again accepted by the Singapore General Hospital,the elated Ming immediately served her employer a month's notice.However reluctant the good doctor released her.

She also called her old lover to break the good news to him.He received it with mixed feelings.His original plan was to place her away in Kuala Lumpur far from him.For he feared any relapsed of her  illness.Any re-occurence would definitely effect his position in Singapore,both publicly and within his family..

Well with her getting better and securing again a place to work in Singapore, she, of course was therefore extremely  happy.This opportunity she would never forgo at any price.  Most important then was she would be re-united with her old lover again and be together  for longer periods or forever..

 The mother gladly accepted that fact but would not follow her to Singapore.She  preferred to stay back at their new home alone.This could mean she was nearer to her first daughter,Lilian Goh,a bank Manager and her grand children whom she was now fond of..By now most her friends and relatives were in Kuala Lumpur.

In any case Singapore is not far away as she could easily traveled home to see her mother within hours by express bus or even faster by plane.So no big deal.Surely by now given the choice  she would never permit her dear mother to bulge in between her and her lover.She will definitely want to be left alone with her old lover at their love nest.
 
 She finally reported for her duty in Singapore but she did not accept the lodging provided by the Hospital.Her dear old lover had already got prepared a flat in Tiong Bahru for her.A very secluded place where he could be with her whenever he wanted without any hindrance.

What a lovely plan?. They occupied the top flat of the three storied flats in Tiong Bahru. Those were the most modern and  latest flats that time with a spiral stair way at its back.Quite a high class residential area then..

He had to furnish to suit her tastes.There  he assured of peace and transquility .He would be at peace whenever they want to meet.No need to go else where, where the general public eye could have full views of them.Of course he was being extra cautious. 

He was a well known architect in Singapore,certainly wanted to keep that secret that he was keeping a mistress in Singapore away from his family and the general public.

.Exposing his new found love  to the world would be detrimental to his flagging career as one of Singapore most famous sons.Should that happened the news might break many a hearts but I think Singapore needed some scandals like this boast its image.Well,it is high time they had one.

Now whenever they were together at their safe haven,both seldom venture far or beyond from the place.Whenever they wanted  change or wanted to take it easy they would eat at a nearby stall.The old man at the stall provide them with lovely hot dishes of "Char Koey Teow".

Really tasty and real cheap.The old Architect loved that dish according to dear Ming.There were times they would eat those "Char Koey Teow" almost three times a day.Crazy ain't it? Not so - out of convenience?Yes but keep away from the public was the most important thing for him.It is good to play safe .

What a lovely time?. As the Chinese saying goes "Golden house for a lovely mistress". He was so wealthy why not?. There goes their happiness as long as she remained sane.According to Ming they were extremely those days.


However there were days she felt home sick and that happened she would take a trip back to Kuala Lumpur to see her  mother.Most of those days she traveled home by express bus and returned to Singapore the following evening.Most of the time arriving back in time for her to report her duty with the Hospital.

Poor thing her lover never followed her home,she traveled home alone.. Of course she does that whenever her dear old lover was going overseas for his business

However her happiness was short lived.Apparently her could not cope up with her hectic schedule at the Hospital.The varying times her meeting with her old lover was causing her some head aches.Within her duty she must be alert at all cost any unthinkable mistake on her part could be fatal.

Jammed with so many things and the heavy duties she suddenly had a minior relapse.During which she lost concentration and made an error in prescribing medicine to a patient.That proved to be fatal which caused the patient much misery.


An inquiry found her being negligence on her her part.Not only that they also discovered her sickness.Thus they were forced to release her from all duties for good.In other words she was sacked.Poor girl being sacked.

Sacking her by now was no problems to her.At least she had an abode to reside in and money was no bother because her lover can easily provide all that she required. Should she be better she can always work for some other employers.That never across her mind.


Fortunately her sickness did not turn out to the worst.In fact with no duties in mind she made hasty and speedy  recovery.Thus she began looking for another job.

During her nursing days she had in fact met an old patient who had great interests in her as she was extremely caring and kind towards.So good was her relationship with the old patient that he accepted her as his adopted daughter.

His family accepted duly her as well.That was also why when she was recovering from her illness she had in fact some god friends who cared for her.The relationship among (the family members of the old adopted father) continued even after the old man passed away 

She would called them every now and then and they returned the favor vice versa.These the Singaporeans who bright her into the folds of the Lord where she was baptized. That was why her connection with Singaporeans were good and always yearned to be among them.

Chapter 8 Recuperating Cuckoo

With the house being purchased the mother and daughter thus prepared to shift in.So they both went on a shopping spree.So they drove to a Supermarket to do their purchasing.However when at the Supermarket they both decided to split up and each venture a different direction so that they could cover a bigger area to purchase their requirements.

After two hours of purchasing they met at an agreed destination.Both of them definitely covered a huge area of the Supermarket if not all of it.Immediately they set for home.While unloading their purchasers they discovered that they have brought that they have doubled purchased some main items.Such as their crockery which both of them brought.Worst of all almost all identical items.

Other major items included curtains and others.Having laughed over them they next went on to a well known furniture outlet to purchase their requirements..Well,having the dole they spent their money to the fullest purchasing furniture to cover every where of their new residence.

The furniture were immediately transported to their new house by the outlet.With them well arranged they found that the purchases were insufficient so that went on to select them again.With that accomplished they called it a day.

Now that they were already well equipped both shifted into their new house with an easy state of mind. They have more room to move about .The mother was relaxed and her mind wandered back to her sick daughter.Well,as it was she appeared alright but she was at times cuckoo.

Being a psycho her mind would sometimes wonder away into unreality.This happened when she sat around the house thinking of nothing.Her not being able to see her old boy friend appeared to trouble her the most.She seem frustrated.

For each time her thoughts ran across him she would suddenly gave a horrifying yell which brought her dear mother flying down the stairs to her.Had it been someone else claiming her down would be difficult.With her dear mother whom she easily recognized although she went berserk .Everything will be fine within minutes.

In the new house she slept separately from her mother.Her mother occupying the top room while she had the front room of the first floor.Whatever the arrangements were her dear mother still had to be cautious especially in the deep of night.Her daughter Ming was restless in the late hours and was awake most of the time until morning.There after she would dozed off to sleep like a mouse.

Although she seem alright but she was still having hallucinations in the night.Then she would be awake her mind wander off to some where. She began to talk nonsense or talk about things that do not exist at all at times. Thereafter she would be busy walking up and down the house trying to locate something.All done aimlessly.When her mother asked her what she trying to look for.She would just shake her head,looking emptily into the air.

At this stage she was still returning to the University Medical Centre for regular checkup.Initially she was checked by a private psychiatrist at Klinik Pakar located in Petaling Jaya.Doctor in charged was a 71 over years old named Deva Dass.Actual address is 40 A,Jalan 52/8,New Town,46200 Petaling Jaya.

However the good doctor's rate for each consultation was too high.Actually this was not too high as she had her lover to bear the cost.However,she and her mother had second thoughts about that.Both actually thought the good old lover had done more than sufficient for her already.This of course was not factual as the old lover is a multi-millionaire.So they switched to University Medical Centre where the charges were very much lower.

In any case under the tender care of her dear mother she recovered tremendously faster.Both mother and daughter would exercised daily in the morning as well as in the evening,mostly by walking bout the housing estate.By so walking around they also made numerous friends around the neighborhood.However Ming was always doubtful of their sincerity.

With so much time to idle away she began venturing into a buying spree ,and why not with so much cash ti spare?.Should that run low the old lover is always available.And here again "sub sub seow" for one Singapore dollar equivalent to sightly more than three Malaysian ringgit.So money was not a problem to this young Cockoo.

She had longed develop an interest in clothing not only branded but those from boutiques .That was how she met and admired renown designer Chin Toi.She had brought quite a number of clothing items from him.She also stake claim that she was their friend and good customer.

Main reason was because she bore delusions of contradictory evidence with those they talked to.Her moods were often varying most of the time and her mother thus became the binding force between their family and those around.Her paranoid condition made the neighbors forming an adverse opinion regarding her attitude towards them.Being a young woman much annoyance were taken lightly or dispelled.

Her condition improved so fast much to her mother's delight that she pulled up sufficient courage to want to return to work instead idling aimlessly.In fact it would be better for her condition should be utilized fully.At least that would keep her restless mind busy.Of course her top priority was return to nursing where ever possible.

So she began going through the daily newspaper for any position vacant.Getting a job was no big deal with her qualification for nursing position.She came across an ad for a nursing assistant for an ophthalmologist.Well,in the beginning 1977,she was employed by the eye specialist Manjeet Singh for only a short period.In any case she never got used working there but she soon found another nursing position with another clinic.

On leaving the Ophthalmologist she was employed as a staff nurse at Subang Jaya Medical centre where she was placed in charged of dialysis.It was an independent position only seeing to that patients were properly treated.The routine suited her most and her problems never bothered her.She was happy with her job .

Her old lover would call her every now to encourage her,as well as giving her tender advice and loving kisses across the horizons. Keeping her at a safe distance from him,his state and his family.Understandably being a known personality in Singapore does not augured well with a psychotic mistress hanging around. Allowing to be exposed to the general public could extremely disastrous for him.

Well then he should also know that this is a very small world The tinniest of all things even in eggs so tight would could never be hidden forever,yet would eventually it would hatched out a chick.

Of course there was also his family to consider.So he called frequently to keep her at bay.Whenever he was going overseas he would keep her in informed .There were times that he was busy and did not want her to bother him. He would inform her that she was going overseas.Of course he had to lie to keep her calm and free from wild imaginations.As that could be dangerous as she had not fully recovered as yet.

There were few times they met in Singapore.However the meetings were brief and short.Apparently she had to travel down by express bus in the evening and returned the following evening by the same.That was a very smart moved on his part.Leaving no one to suspect him committed any hypocritic moves.Deceiving his family and many because as Boss to stay away from work for a single day is nothing,no big deal.

She served as a staff nurse for Dr. Prasad,a Neurologist visual physician.in mid 1977.She proved her worth there and the good doctor found her an asset.In any case he had a good opinion of her.

That year she also brought a car,a Satria.That was to ease her traveling to work daily.She did not expose how she acquired that car but generally it was well known that she brought it with cash from her lover.What thoughtful lover,or was he?.Somehow being erotic she somehow met with an accident where she banged it against another car which drove out all of a sudden from a blind corner.

Apparently the impact of the crash was quite serious.Had it not been for the air bag she would fatally injured.In any case she landed in the hospital for two weeks.The insurance reimbursed $ 5000/= for repair of the damages.However her sister insisted she abstained from driving for her own safety.So she reluctantly gave up her car.

Her yearning to be with her old lover was driving her nuts.She could not take that any longer.So she hatched out a plan to return to Singapore through nursing for Singapore General Hospital for there was a demand for experienced nurses there.With hesitation,she approached her good doctor who gave her a very strong testimony to support her re-application to that hospital.

Her application was readily accepted after a brief consideration.As she had resigned from that hospital on her own accord and had no adverse reports against her during her last tenure with them,She was re-instated duly and she return to serve there in 1988.
