And so the final term exams came and went. One word to sum it all, no, make that two -
fucking screwed. Not looking forward to receiving my grades at all. I hope I'll be able to reduce it to ashes in time before my parents see it.
Started my attachment with Giamso International Tours on Monday along with 2 other persons, Melanie and Kelvin. The things we do are yes, dead boring and monotonous. I'm supposed to 'beautify' the travel brochures and itineraries, and I have to do them in both English and Chinese versions(!) The English version is of course way easier than the Chinese, because I have to type out the Chinese words by reading from the hard copy itself because the company do not have any soft copies at all. Even so, some are in diskettes (wth?!) and the laptop I'm using do not have a A: drive or whatever. So I have the type them out manually and edit any errors, add pictures and basically make the brochures more attractive. In 5 and a half days, I've visited Fujian, Shanghai, Yunnan, Kunming, Jiuzhaigou and Guilin. Heh. Seems like I've been there myself
la.
Caught
Underworld Evolution yesternight. I don't know about others, but I quite liked the movie despite my ignorance about vampires and werewolves. Kate Beckinsale is like, hothothot. Oh, and I think Kate Beckinsale and Liv Tyler look alike, although I think Selene (Kate Beckinsale) looks way sexier in those black tights than the elf-ish Arwen (Liv Tyler).
Selene wins hands down la. Hot as hell. (p/s: I have nothing againist LOTR).I don't enjoy visiting people in the hospital. It's not that I do not care or am plain lazy. I do care, but I don't exactly know what to say to the patient, save for asking plain dumb questions like
"You okay?" and neither can pretend I understand what they are going through because I don't. The things you can ask are basically dumb.
"Are you cold?", "You want to drink water?", "How're you feeling?", Pain a not?" and all other dumb questions along the line. Have I ever mentioned I fucking hate it when people ask me if "I'm fine" when I'm obviously not, e.g. black face, red eyes and nose, keeping completely quiet etc. I hate visiting because I will never understand the pain patients feel, and there is really nothing much to do to reduce their pain or discomfort, and all I feel is uselessness.
It hurts the most when the person lying on the hospital bed is your own mother, in pain and discomfort, and it is not within your means to make her feel any better. Today was the first time I saw my Dad kiss my Mum (on the forehead) in my entire eighteen years on Earth.Do they call this
患难见真情?
