The nurse was right, I probably won’t be able to get a queue number if I was lazy and didn’t arrive early at the hospital to 挂号。 Apparently, they only issue 40numbers a day, and being the peak period now, queue number went out fast.

I reached the hospital at around 7.15am and manage to get number 14. Businese started at 8am on the dot as stated. Didi was required to do a blood test, body checkup and hearing screening. Unlike in Shanghai, urine test is not required.

They took out 2 quarter tubes of blood from the kid! Why on earth would they need so much blood from the little ones. I remembered they only need to do a simply prick test back in Shanghai. All the poor children looked scared and bewildered, though I must admit the nurses were pretty skillful as most of the children didn’t complaint of pain or discomfort.

We managed to get everything done before 9am. However, the report will only be available the next day. Meaning I have to make a 3rd trip back to the hospital to complete the task. Almost like an Olympic scale obstacle course.

Finally got hold of Didi’s kindergarten entrance health checkup report today! Mission accomplished! I was told that Didi needs 3 shots of Hep B vaccine. WTH!? He has had his required shots back in Singapore and all his immunisation is up to date with schedule. I believe they won’t know if he has had his jabs and I wouldn’t want him vaccinated there anyway.
