Plane ticket

I finally got my plane ticket. I really wanted to meet up with some missionary friends in Jakarta but it would have cost me over £2,000 British pounds. It would have been cheaper for me to go back to London, and then buy a completely different round trip ticket to Jakarta. So it looks like I won't be able to meet up with them for new year's. I will fly from Singapore to Cairns on Aug 26. Tomorrow I will be meeting with Marie who will help me try to get some cheap equipments ie sonicaid (listening to baby's heart sound), sphygmamometer (blood pressure check), glucometer (glucose check)...etc.... As I have all my vaccinations done, all I need to do is pack my bag. I need to get a LED torch to help if ever I need to suture in the middle of the night. Yes I will not have electricity. Apparently there is a generator that runs two hours in the morning and two hours at night. I am going to sweat to death at night. I don't think I have ever slept without a fan in tropics humidity. I vaguely remember one night as a kid in Malaysia when the electricity got cut off and our fan didn't work and I could not sleep a wink from sweating. Perhaps I shall get use to it and acclimatise to such weather or exhaust myself eventually from sleepless night that I will sleep in whatever condition. I suppose if I had to choose to be in sweating heat or freezing cold, I'd rather be in sweating heat. We'll see I might change my mind later.
