WTF!

I just got to blog this down.

A few months ago, just before I went to rebond my hair, I called up the lactation consultant at NUH to check with her if I can continue to breastfeed Sean after rebonding my hair.

And so I called up the number found on the Internet.

And here goes the conversation:

Me: Hi, can I speak to the lactation consultant please?

Woman: Har? What? No no no, we don't have electrician here.

Me: No, I'm looking for the lactation consultant. This is NUH right?

Woman: Yes. But no electrician here leh.

Me: No no no! (feeling very exasperated). I want to speak to the lactation consultant, you know, breastfeeding? Milk?

Woman: Har? No leh, you want electrician not call this number one leh.

Me: (think crazy stupid woman, not helping at all, tamade). Breastfeeding!!! I found this number on the web and I need to speak to the person who can advice me on breastfeeding!!!

Woman: Breastfeeding? I think you call wrong number leh. Here also no electrician.


Tamade. I swear if I can hire an electrician hitman, I sure electrocute that silly char bor.

Please employers. Please please educate your employees.

Don't even know what lactation means. Trust her to work in a hospital environment.
