round two
OK we're already in the second half of the month. A good time to take a step back and do a bit of post-mortem of the first half. Not looking too good for me. Haish..
Work has been extremely busy. Was constantly on my feet all day, if only they can talk you'll hear them scream. It's the start of the season, like the boss said - Welcome to the Lungs Season. All of the asthmatics, pneumonias, bronchiolitis and whatsnot. All of the happy wheezers suddenly become unhappy. Didn't sleep a wink last on-call and was still in A&E and wards the next day till 6PM. I collapsed at home and slept straight from 6.30PM till 4.30AM. Missed everything in between. Welcome to the real deal.
A good friend Shahirah reminded us to be grateful of what we have. I remembered the eye-opening experience we had in Cambodia. One of them was on arrival in Siem Reap at the bus station. Upon meeting our guide person, there were these kids rushing to our van with their hands reaching out and pointing our food containers. Nyam - they said, which means food in Khmer. We were startled at first, confused at same, then realizing there were no danger we gave them our canned sardines, left overs from the stay in Phnom Penh. They were simply delighted, walking away cheerfully as if they've gotten the biggest catch of the day.

I should start going back to these places. Too much luxury can cloud the conscience. If you see my fridge you'll die. Leftovers and more leftovers. Orang lain malnutrisi sebab tak cukup makan.
