Custard flower

I can hear my Intern days slowly pass me by. Soon, in a month and a half's time I'll be leaving Queen Mary Hospital for good and start a bright new beginning. However bright or dark it may be. Somehow something inspired me to write something about what I'll be missing over here... the evening rain must have given me some hints...

It must be the flowers of Queen Mary that I'll miss. This evening I suddenly had the impulse to go home despite feeling tired and whatnot. It started raining when I got out, and unusually, I didn't have an umb with me. so I looked down to stop rain splashing onto my glasses. Well, the first thing I noticed was a custard-coloured flower, still in its fullest bloom sitting on the pavement by the slope down the hill. Its gorgeous yellow outlined by a creamy white rim made it So special. I so wanted to pick it up but the rain was getting furious... Then I looked up, seeing flowers of purple, pink and red, right in front of my eyes in the pathway. And by the other side of the slope, I was amazed to see a tree full of orange flowers. It *was* exactly the same flowers as those I saw a few years ago in Sassoon Road, by the stairs walking up to Bayview restaurant, a must-pass path from our Medical library to lunch. I remember one day I saw it and it made me think of somebody straight away. I wrote an email to him telling him about those lovely flowers I saw. And as usual, he gave no reply.

Anyway, one day after work I must go searching for this custard flower again. Do you think it'll give you as much hope and wonder as it did for me?
