blood!

i'm exhausted from everything that i've done today ! especially lab stufff , DNA ligation blah blah hopefully the bacteria's growing well and i can harvest them tomorrow

so this morning i went to do my research centre's annual blood collection ( so that when we fall sick, we can trace back if its a bug from the research centre or wad)

and as i was waiting there in the royal children's hospital pathology unit, there were a couple of kids just right in front of me in the queue

i smiled at some of them only to receive cold stares or their heads turning away , then it occurred to me that they are all ill

a really pretty young little girl maybe the age of barely 2 had really yellow skin and maybe it was jaundice as a results of wateva illness she had. I heard her cries when the nurse was taking her blood , but she came out smiling and looking like a brave young soul!

another little girl was on a wheelchair just b4 me, and before she went into the room she took off her snow cap which then revealed a bald head as a result of chemo that she had gone thru.

honestly, i admire them ! for the courage to go through all that they've suffered and for wateva that may come in their way in the future but at the same time , my heart goes out to them because of the sufferings they've gone through

i pray that every little one of them will be cured , to have a happy childhood and a bright future ahead of them and to whatever suffering they are enduring now, i pray that God will decrease that pain

then, did i realised that i am really truly blessed
