シンガポオルによこそ、さやかさん!
Cried when I sent her off at school earlier on T___T But anyway, I will be visiting her during 雪休み!We are going Kyoto together ^___^
I’m so tired, I shall do a proper post another day. For now, a few pictures:

Sayaka & Me, 2nd September 2007

Me taking a picture of Sayaka @ an Indian temple
More pictures another day. I am tired. Cried too many times today, firstly, sending sayaka off to my school, and also during work, i felt really upset for an old patient… Need to muster more strength to not let tears fall so easily. But it is really sad when an old man in his 80s is alone by himself still working in odd jobs, isn’t it? He didn’t even had a pair of footwear with him. His feet were bruised and dirty, he was walking all over barefooted. Spoke to him in his dialect.. and understood that he has no kin nor kith. Nobody to fetch him after he’s discharged tomorrow, but he reassured me that he knew his way home well. I asked him, why was he barefooted during admission? He said, the acute pain came on, it was so painful he forgot to bring his footwear along.. again, he reassured me that everything would be alright. Enquired about where he resides, and realized that the area is filled with 1-room flats for old people who are alone..
I couldn’t take it any more and I cried. I hope the old man didn’t see me crying, because I really did not want him to feel that I’m pitying him.. ran out of the ward into the toilet.
Classmates and I bought a pair of slippers for him after we got off our shift.. I feel slightly better that I managed to do something for him, but still.. i can’t really put it in words.
I know I shouldn’t let things affect me too much, but I can’t help it.
Guess I’ll update more another day, with more pictures of sayaka and i!
Anyway, I really had an awesome weekend with Sayaka. My mum misses her so much too.!

[…] The first time i encountered a patient like that during my first posting, i actually cried Trisa, Meiyin and I actually bought slippers for the poor uncle because he almost wanted to discharge home bare-footed. Ahh, memories, It’s been an entire year since. I’m much stronger as compared to then now, in the sense that I no longer shed tears when I see such sad cases. […]
