It has been so long

It's been so long since I wrote anything at all that I fear I might not be able to any longer! November it is right now, and Kaohsiung is still keeping things warm. No signs of winter, unlike the temperamental Taipei.

I am oncall at OBGYN right now - first time this month. Ward duty today - not exactly my favorite, what with the potential for many dressing changes. But que sera sera, i think.

Looking forward to being home in less than a month. The older I get though, the greater my fear of flying. Although Singapore is just 4.5hours away by air, I can't help but wonder what if one day the planes cease to function and boats fail to sail? Then I'd be stuck with the option of either attempting to swim (and drowning / get eaten up in the process) or staying put on this piece of land forever. Both with the same end result of not being able to see my family ever EVER again! Uurgh. What a thought. I've such a fear of flying though. Not in the outright phobic manner, but I think I'd shit myself silly and try to knock myself out if I knew the plane was going to malfunction and crash. Can you imagine the last few minutes of life left for those on the ill-fated flights of 911? I'd be screaming my head off for sure and staining myself with excrements out of the sheer fear. Chicken? You bet!!

But I guess home is worth braving it all for.

gotta poop. gonna go.
