Chinese Steamed Bun (Pao)

I just awared I had eaten 2 pao(s) today - one for breakfast and one for tea break.

I remembered a NYP lecturer once shared with us that during her nursing time, nurses are very 'pantang ' about eating pao. They believe that when a nurse ate pao, they'll have pao (also means wrap) dead body in their respective work area.


Luckily nothing happen in my ward today. Else, I swear will stop eating pao again whenever i am work. (haahaa!)

XiaoLi

She was given a nickname Snow White in the ward because she has a fair complexion and she is pretty. The first time i met her was my first day arrival to ward. She was attached to ICA side.

The second time, i accidentally toppled her left-opened bottle of Lactulose while trying to push her medicine trolley slightly out so that i could make space to put the clinical charts. I was thinking Oh my God, sure kena scolding while clearing the mess and apologising. She handled the situation rather cool though. Did not vent her anger. Explained simply and shifted her focus back to medicine serving again.

And today we happened to be in the same ward as Juniors. I got to know her better. I like her easy-going nature. Communicative and not shy despite her petite size. Firm when handling patients. Know-her-work.
