it's a gift!

that day was the Grand ward rounds

almost 20 drs are present...

the best thing about that day was what i saw in a chinese couple...


the wife unfortunately has parkinson, thus she couldn't take care of herself very well...the husband was discussing his wife's discharge with a dr, he can't wait to bring her home...and bless them...they look like they were born before the japanese era...

his discussion ended, drs move to the next bed...i kept my gaze on them as the husband was about to carry his wife to a nearby chair...can he manage? i wondered...

"&*(%$#@#" said the husband in chinese to a lady...and she helped him

apparently, i wasn't the only person watching this scene...a chinese male dr was also witnessing this...

"this is your daughter?" asked the dr
"nope, my maid!" he answered
"owh, where did you find a chinese speaking maid?" the dr asked back...
(sorry, this is what i assume they were talking about...hehe, they were speaking chinese)
and their conversation continued for a bit...

the husband then took out a flask, pour chicken soup into a bowl and began feeding his wife

"what?where's your maid just now?" asked the chinese dr shocked
"dunno!" he answered not apparently looking at the dr, he seemed pretty occupied with his wife
"you have a maid, ask her to feed your wife la!" said the dr
"no no!" he refused
"oo, you sayang bini ea!" the dr joked...
he seemed intent

a malay female dr said to us...
"nanti nak kawen, cari husband macam nie!"...we smiled

then the chinese dr turned to us
"bayar maid tapi tak mo pakai...rugi la!" he quoted
"i da nasehat budak2 ni suh cari husband macam dy!" said the malay dr
"u x nk nasehat i ke? i x kawen lagi" d chinese dr replied...
"u sanggop jaga ur wife like this?" she asked back
"hehe~"
