"I'm late...he's going to kill me" Ron muttered as he raced out of the lifts.
"Excuse me, do you know this is a hospital? No running!" an older nurse stopped him.
"Sorry" he apologized and slowed down as he walked down the corridor. After walking past a numerous rooms and wards, he came to a door that read "Steven Ma, Opthalmologist"
Ron raised his hands and knocked on the door. There was no reply. He knocked again. Deciding to open the door, he put his hand on the handle, but was stopped by someone behind him. The person had put his hand on Ron's shoulder. He turned around to face the person who own the room, Steven Ma. "oh..it's you, I thought it was someone else"
Steven chuckled. "What were you doing? Going into my room?"
"Yeah, there was no reply. Duh" Ron said, walked down the corridor with him.
"You were late..."Steven said. "By half an hour"
"Oh, there was a traffic jam..."Ron replied.
"So lunch is your treat" Steven said quickly.
"What? No...!" Ron complained. "It was mine a few days ago..come on"
"I was kidding, see how penniless you are" Steven joked. "Let's go"

Steven and Ron entered a middle-class restaurant and sat at a table in the middle. There was no one else except for two girls sitting near a window. "Hey boss!" Ron waved at the boss walking out of the kitchen. "Where's everyone gone?"
The boss folded his arms. "Gone over to the restaurant across the road. They say it's cheaper"
"Oh..is it?" Steven eyed the restaurant across the road. "Don't worry, we'll stay and eat here. I still love your duck noodles"
The boss grinned. "And you like..BBQ pork rice? I remember"
"Yep"Ron replied. "Hurry up..my stomach's grumbling already"
"Sure will!' the boss scribbled down the orders and walked back in.
Steven laid back on his chair and looked around. He watched the two girls seated at the window talk and laugh for a moment.

"Do you liek the food here?" Leila asked. "It's been opened for a long time...but last week, that restaurant opened..so they don't have much customers now"
Charmaine smiled. "I like the dim sim, it tastes very nice, and especially because there's not much oil"
"Yeah" Leila agreed. "Oh! here comes your century egg congee!"
Charmaine turned to the way she was meant to face, althought she was blind, she could still sense that the waiter was coming from that way. "Century Egg congee"
"Thank you" Charmaine said as she felt for the spoon on the table.
"I'm going to the bathroom" Leila said. "Be careful"
"Ok" Charmaine nodded and spooned some congee into her mouth. "Yum"

"Duck noodles!" the waiter put the bowl of noodles infront of Steven. "Hot and fresh!"
"Thanks" Steven said and picked up his chopsticks. "Hey..I'm going to the restrooms..be right back"
"Ok" Ron said, drinking his tea. He looked across the restaurant and spotted a girl holding a salt tin awkwardly. He shrugged and looked at the entrance. A group of 5 people entered and chose a seat right next to the girl's table. The girl frowned a bit and continued to eat.
Steven wounded through the numerous table sin the restaurant, he walked past a girl who sat on her own and accidently knocked down her grocery bags. "Sorry" Steven replied and he was in a rush to the restroom so he didn't pick them up for her.
"Excuse me..."the girl said. "You dropped my grocery bags" she looked into space.
Steven turned his head back a bit and raised one eyebrow."I'm sorry" he apolgized again and walked towards the bathroom.
Charmaine frowned. "People these days...can't even tell who's blind and who's not" she held onto the table and carefully bent down. She moved her hands around trying to feel for the handle of the grocery bag. She couldn't find it. She bent down more, she finally felt it, she moved it towards her a bit, which caused her walking stick to fall. Charmaine sighed. She bent down again.
"Charmaine?" Charmaine recognised Leila's voice. "What are you doing? Why are you bending down?"
"Oh this guy knocked down the grocery bags..and didn't pick them up..so I was picking it up" Charmaine explained to her as she waved her hand around near the legs of her chair.
"Oh..what are you feeling for?" Leila asked.
"My walking stick. I knocked it down" Charmaine replied.
"I'll get it for you" Leila offered, getting out of her seat.
"No, it's ok..I've got it" Charmaine gave her a small smile as she raised the walking stick in her hand and then carefully placed it beside her chair.
"I know you liek to depend on yourself" Leila smiled. "Want some more dimsim?" Without her reply, Leila placed a dim sim on her plate.
"Thank you" Charmaine said. "What's the time?"
"A bit past noon"Leila replied.
"Oh, Tavia's going to pick me up soon" Charmaine replied. "So we have to make sure we go back by 2"
"Ok" Leila said.

Returning from the bathrooms, Steven took a different route so he didn't have to face the girl again. "Hey" he said as he sat down again.
"I saw you saying something to that girl.." Ron said looking at Charmaine.
"Yeah, I accidently knocked down her grocery bags and she expected me to pick them up for her..but you know, I was going to the restroom" Steven said. "Oh well"
