I got scolded during my attachment for not being able to speak teochew. Couldn't even understand what she was saying until somebody told me that the patient was scolding me. Sigh. Sometimes I wonder who is the cause for this. Is it the people who invented multiple languages, is it my parents for not teaching me other languages, or is it just that I am just horrid with languages. Its probably the last reason. The atmosphere in the hospital is very tense. You can feel this thick cloud smothering you every second. It is a horrible feeling.
Thankfully, there are silver linings amidst. The attitude that some elderly have is just fantastic. They return your smiles, or they are always smiling, or they appreciate what you do for them. It just makes you very excited and happy for them. There is hope.
I am nothing without you; 9:38 PM
