Location: Singapore

A Singaporean girl who graduated from a Medical College in the UK and currently working as a doctor, spending most of my years abroad burying myself amongst medical books, speaking Queen's English and trying to adapt to life in Britain. But I still remain a true blue Singaporean who loves my plate of char kway teow and enjoys the sense of closeness when speaking "Singlish" to my fellow countrymen. Why "The Chinese Doctor"? Because that's what my patients call me since they don't know my name!

The sweet bits

I have been asked recently by close friends about how my rship is going. I have numerous unhappy moments and got to the point whereby I am at the brim of giving it up. But whenever I talk about these unhappy things to them, I realise I cannot ignore the fact that he has numerous good points too. And it's only when I mention his good points that I can sense the tinge of sweetness within the bitterness.

This was what I told him too when he asked me one evening if I was happy.

This evening, we went to the restaurant we went to on CNY's eve. He was happily munching on the prawn crackers, and there was a bit of it which stayed on the side of his mouth. When I reached out to pick the piece away...

"Aaawww. Look at them. Isn't that sweet..?" said this Welsh woman sitting next to our table.

We felt pretty shy when she said that, but were smiling. And as I recall that short moment, it does make me smile. It was sweet indeed. :)
