I'm so shagged!!! Gosh, worked my supposed last afternoon shift at the old fmc today. Time seemed to crawl by ever so slowly! Felt rather dreadful somewhat. Bleah. Anyway, had some interesting things that happened today at work. A deaf and mute father and son came down to see a doctor today. At the dispensary, i took pains to try to communicate with the son, penning words in english and chinese, with little effect. Finally with lots of written chinese words and gimmicking with my face and flagging hands, the father managed to convey the message(himself deaf and mute too) to his son on his medications. Trust me, i spent like nearly 20 solid minutes with him on communications alone. It made me wondr how they communicated with the doctor... *shrugs*
Anyway, my family received news that my granduncle just passed away last night. He died of cancer, 3 years after my grandaunt passed away, also of cancer. It felt like yesterday that my own grandfather passed away, though not of cancer, 12 years ago. I miss my grandfather dearly still... Seeing life and death in loved ones tugged hard at my heart strings. Everything seemed so yesterday. You can almost feel the moments when they were still alive and kicking, the fond memories in their presence, like just a second ago. This is the hard reality of life. While we live, to put it bluntly, we are actually waiting to die too. I suppose that supports why we should live our lives to the maximum everyday, so that we will not have lived in vain when alive. To one who has begun to officially ston and shut down since 9pm, i feel numbed. wait till everything slowly sets in tomorrow, i shall feel the overwhelming emotions. There are simply too many things on my mind now, despite that fact we're no longer schooling. Sighs. zzz till the next post , i have forgotten what i wanted to add on. (Yes, ive been getting more absent-minded recently. Perhaps i really should rest, totally...like sleeping beauty? ok, obviously im gibberish now)
Talk in my flooble chatterbox! ( if your can\'t tag on the screen!(: )
