Last day of my leave....sigh
'Time flies when you're having fun'... I can't agree more...back to work in the blood bank section tomorrow morning... hopefully there will be no bleeders ( a term we call for people who has physiological difficulties in the natural process that helps cease bleeding when cut open )
Or any liver transplant operations ( rather one of the highest-risk operations that will need the most blood & blood products, thus the blood banker is required to stay vigilant and stay calm despite any emergencies faced ), so I can enjoy lunch with my family and uncles with a great peace of mind... We're celebrating one of my uncle's 44th birthday anniversary and taking him out for a buffet spread (Korean style) @ his fav restaurant - Han's River...
Just finished a book, written by an ex-CIA officer named Rob Baer, entitled - 'See No Evil : The True Story of a Ground Soldier in the CIA's War on Terrorism'... which I borrowed from the library...
A true hero whom I take my hats off to - for being so thorough and sincere in sharing with us readers his personal experiences as a CIA officer, relentlessly putting his life in danger in the pusuit of truth... only to sadly find out at the later stage of his career how unappreciated his efforts were, only to be ignored by the big shots, due to the individual political and economical pursuits of various countries in the league for power....
I felt so enlightened yet felt betrayed after reading the book... Enlightened to be given the opportunity to comprehend how the CIA works their magic...yet betrayed to find out the painful truth of reality... how we were protrayed with superficial and twisted images the media and government wants us to see...
How very powerful and intelligent the terrorist networks are such that even the CIA and FBI look like small children when compared to them... how much higher the value of oil is, compared to human lives... such a sad revelation that everyone should acknowledge by reading this great book...
( rating 5/5 : all 5 thumbs up for the man himself for writing a no-holds-barred bk.)
