(view from my room, once upon a time)

been walking through the streets of yuen long and back to the city with my swollen throat and aching body today. people say upper respiratory tract infection is nothing but when you have it yourself, you'll know how much it hurts. i don't think i'll now shout at people who arrive at the A&E at 5am with just runny nose... oh well, by 5am last time i had not much energy left to moan about that person... so i've been feeling rather drowsy/drunk for most of today, unable to memorise anything that i read this morning. but thankful to say this holi-day wasn't lost. i had a successful driving lesson this afternoon (only my second one) and i learned to park my car and ride up a hill. i'm learning to do nice turns now, becoming more natural....

finally, i'm going to cut my hair short, i've decided, before my trip to thailand.... i won't miss long hair.

um, i'm missing ting ting and susanna, my 2 patients from the stomach ward back in queen mary. may god protect and provide the best for them. i remember the first times talking to ting ting. we clicked immediately and i told her about some sad stories. but then she said," but betty! you looked so professional when you were in front of the patients, i wouldn't have guessed you are an unhappy girl!" that was quite a few months ago. as tomorrow i'll be going to queen mary once again, do you think i will catch glimpse of them?
