It was a serious occasion. We were visiting a friend in the hospital.
5 minutes into the visit, she whips out her deck of cards. The one she carries with her in her handbag, throughout CNY….
She looked at me, we both looked at the patient…
Well she LOOKED alright, the sedatives WERE wearing off, she DID have an appetite…and it was CNY!!!!
And the hospital bed made the perfect table.
For black jack.
Played in hushed tones….
We were decent. We didn’t yell or call enthusiastically for the “PICTURE!”, we WILLED it, eyes scrunched, a gentle “picture” whispered….
I made some money that day. The patient broke even, the others lost :D
What?!? It WAS during CNY, and the patient SEEMED okay….. PLUS, the nurse didn’t stop us…..
*Gong Xi Fa Chai everyone !!!!!*
