static: August 2010

supervisor telling me seriously "please don't do forensics"
the lady who helps with the housework commenting "yeah i can see the resemblance btwn you and your uncle"
watching the pt as we break the news that all medical mx is failing and that we have to refer pt to transplant center - pt's face crumbles and for one moment it seems that pt's about to break down, but then pt holds in it, dignified choosing instead to thank the team for trying their best
Bath- having proper English tea in the oldest teahouse available, walking in Austen's footsteps, seeing the Roman ruins
sitting in the park, watching vessels go up and down the Thames, with the Royal Naval College right opposite me - choosing to reflect & dream
taking Georgie & Leyka to McDs
having a proper chat with the couple over cheese & biscuits, about the past, present and looking forward to the future, sharing God's grace and mercies and praying together
that brief moment where she finally allows me to hug and kiss her
walking with KT & Erica around Westminister & waterloo
Elderly pts -some wishing me the very best and giving encouraging words. one crying out his worries and fears after the sudden turn of events
Ah Ching's encouraging words just as i start the rotation
receiving the email
watching live classical concert at St James Cathedral
he gave me the LGM
tapas with the family

if you had the power to read minds or hear thoughts, how would it be?

Pros:

you'd know who's real and who's faking it
you'd know what people really think of you (which in high school was a very sought after trait/ability esp in BGRs)
it'd save lots of time when you wish someone would jsut get to the point (e.g. convulated politicians, news, the aunty next door who never seems to be able to shut up)
you'd have the power to use/hurt/blackmail people because you know their secret thoughts
very good interrogation method =p

Cons:

you'd be bombarded with thousands of things (simple, nonsense, useless, crap thoughts tat people think when they're zonin out or bored) that you'd be overloaded and pass out
the truth would be too painful to bear (refer to pros)
with the power to use/hurt people, you became hurt. disillusionment and loss of hope soon follow
nothing surprises you and miracles cease to exist anymore (think weary adults loosing their child like faith)

makes me think twice about what i'd like to wish for.

plus, i wonder - how does HE do it?
