sparrowhawk. quite a bit has been said about it, including our minister saying that we should form the habit of wearing masks when we're sick. hmmm. anyway, let me tell -my- side of the story, which was that my classmate and i were thrown out of wards because no one had told us to get a sticker. haha. luckily we were able to clerk a patient and even speak to her attending doctors who taught us some stuff. it was only later a staff nurse spoke to us. "even the nursing students aren't here, so why are you here?" good question. we mumbled something about no one saying we -couldn't- come and then left hurriedly. it was just as well, cuz we were supposed to go present-hunting that day, so we found ourselves heading for orchard road at ten in the morning. fantastic.

and for everyone out there who's never been masked, one doctor's reaction to it said it all. he looked at his reflection in the lift door and exclaimed," i look like a freak!" and suddenly turned to his friend and gave a roar. haha.
