An ordinary visit to the toilet in office Who knows would bring an ordeal of ten minutes in my life While turning the handle of the lock to exit It easily dismantled to come apart on both sides of the door Foolish was I who pick up the pieces Trying to find out how to put back the pieces on the door The door suddenly slipped from my hands It closed easily and rapidly by the door closer “Bang” was the sound so impressive What came to me was the painful realization of being locked How bad was the door latch which was still in place Held in captivity I try methods to escape All failed to work and I began to blame myself Feeling sudden and helpless I started to worry Would anyone come around by the time of office off hours Three minutes, five minutes, six minutes passed A man’s sound was heard outside the door The comfort and hope he brought was so nice and sweet Another nice colleague gave me encouragement and advice He suggested to force open the door but failed But I felt I was attended to and that was real Then he gave me a small narrow piece of metal Trivial and useless though it seemed It proved to be my saving stick when I opened the latch without knowing how Finally free after ten minutes The feeling of freedom is magnificent and marvellous I thank God for giving me this experience Thankful to those nice guys who are so clever and helpful They are like angels who rescue me from captivity This is the best present I receive for the New Year I decide to pay more concern to my patients Who enter the MRI exam room in a temporary locked environment

The intense heat of summer begins to relax Damp sticky air gradually changes to dry, comfortable breeze In the dark clear sky there hangs the bright full moon All these remind the Mid Autumn Festival is around If not the story of Chang'e, the Moon Gooddess of Immortality The Mid Autumn Festival will have lost its charm Family gatherings, festive meals, gifts giving and greetings Are all important and popular in this joyful season Autumn is also a significant moment for the students College students will prepare for their new learning programmes New friends, new lecturers, new courses and new objectives Seem like a beautiful and exciting world ahead of them to fulfill On the night of Mid Autumn Festival Crowds of people go out together to the parks Children play with lanterns and people share the food they bring The beautiful moon brings lovers together, pledging their love to each other

Mid Autumn Festival
Hea swimming and sunbathing doing nothing but lying by the pool enjoying the hot summer sun feeling the gentle breeze blowing on my body producing the cooling effect no air-conditioning system can compare Hea swimming and sunbathing doing nothing but lying by the pool when all other city folks are busy working at office.... wearing only swimsuit to enjoy sunbathing giving me the freedom and joy no other activities can compare (Hea is a Cantonese word that means wandering around, doing nothing and killing time.)
