Doctor

A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call ASAP, changed his clothes and went directly to the surgery block.
 
He found the boy’s father going and coming in the hall waiting for the doctor. Once seeing him, the dad yelled:
“Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have the sense of responsibility?”

The doctor smiled and said:
“I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital and I came the fastest I could after receiving the call…… And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work”

“Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do??” said the father angrily

The doctor smiled again and replied: “I will say what Job said in the Holy Bible “From dust we came and to dust we return, blessed be the name of God”. Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go and intercede for your son, we will do our best by God’s grace”

“Giving advice when we’re not concerned is so easy” Murmured the father.

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy, “Thank God! Your son is saved!”

And without waiting for the father’s reply he carried on his way running. “If you have any question, ask the nurse!!”

“Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait some minutes so that I ask about my son’s state” Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: “His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was in the burial when we called him for your son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he left running to finish his son’s burial.”

Hello...you there? How have you been? Hope it's fine over there. It sux here lately. Things haven't been moving smoothly. I feel like giving up and quitting this job at certain times. Report would be due soon. Haven't felt this stressed for a long time and it surely doesn't feel good at all. I have a feeling that I would not be able to meet the deadline all these. Too much things to do in such a short time...

Can I don't wake up tomorrow?

Thanks...

Today. I was on my way to work like usual. Leaving for work slightly earlier, I stopped by at Compass Point to take the train. Then I walked down the escalator, checking my items on the way. My wallet, phone keys and ear piece are with me as always. Reaching the platform, I imagined how it's going to be like in the new client's place. Working on my laptop all the way. Hmm? Laptop? What the CRAP?!

I took it home yesterday and thought that it was still at my working place. Idiot. How can I forget? It's going to take some time to retrieve it but I can't work without it. Damn! I can't be late today especially. Thinking that I'm screwed this time, I got out of the station is an instant, with my phone out. I can only think of one person. My mom.

I called her, hoping that she was at home, and yes! She is. Without saying much, she agreed to bring my bag over to me immediately. As I was waiting for her, I looked in the direction of my house, where mom would be. I was experiencing a mixture of feelings then. A mixture of......probably ashamed and grateful. Ashamed, because if it was me, I would have hesitated to dropped whatever I'm doing to deliver a bag. I would have complained over the phone. But I am thankful. Thankful to have such a mom who places me at the first place.

The breeze blew against me as I was immersed in deep thoughts. After a while, she appeared in my sight, riding a bicycle, carrying my heavy bag.

She handed my bag over to me, " 快吗? "

:) ......

I want to treat her better...

2012

Another year has passed.

I am hearing people coming up with new year resolution and things that they would want to do in this brand new year. But i don't. I guess i didn't fraction my life into calender periods. Things just move on as usual as the clock strikes 12. The earth still spins. Unhappy things still occupy my mind. The phone rings with wishes of the new year yet i feel like ignoring it. I'm feeling so tired. Tired of everything. I want to stop struggling with school, with work, and with my life. I'm lost and aimless right now. I lost sight of whatever i have been fighting for.

Overcoming obstacles unaccompanied is tough. But i will try to hang on. I will be able to do it, wouldn't i? Dear clouds...you would imbue me with strength, will'ya?......

Right now i just need some quiet space
