Patience

Am reading a book by Anchee Min - "Empress Orchid". It is a fiction story based on the true story of China's last Empress.

In Chapter 7, it was said the Orchid was chosen to be the 4th wife of the Emperor's and started to live in the Palace. Every morning when she woke up, she would need to go through the whole procedure of washing, getting dressed, eat and then wait....spent the days waiting and waiting. Even though she is dressed magnificantly and well-groomed, she would see no one but herself (and the maids). The wait for her husband is a long and never-ending one.

As i was reading it at my desk, i could almost feel her boredom and impatience. I am also sitting and dwindling my days away. Only after 530pm, then i feel my life stirring and coming into action. I pray for 5th Oct to come soon...patience....
