Curry

The pesky mosquitoes are absolutely intolerable. No one has escaped their bites. Everyone has some red itchy spots on their hands, legs or face. Worse case scenario ... infectious boils. All on biblical proportions. Jerusalem is Egypt now!!! Where is Moses to lead us out???

Despite the rain in the night, the day is still unbearable hot and dry. It only encourages more mosquitoes to breed. I've sprayed my room with insecticide but they keep coming back. They don't die. They're immortal!

Lovely indian lunch at
the MC sisters

Had a very very busy day studying, teaching and working. Almost fainted from exhaustion and hunger at 3.30pm. Went to check on the painting work at the convent of the Missionaries of Charity (Mother Theresa). Luckily they had some lunch left over - curry, veggies and rice. I finished every bit of it. You can't believe how good simple food tastes when you're so hungry and tired.

Thanks to Yvonne Yeung, Poon Kong Ming, Melania & James, Rose Chiu, May Yu, Ma Fung Ming, Melania & James, and the Wednesday Group for their generosity to the poor. 

And a crocodile that escaped the Gaza Zoo 2 years ago has been captured in a sewage pit where it had been living ... and growing to become a 6 footer. Neighbourhood pets have been missing during that time. Made me think about Mr. Monster who escaped his biotope tank the other day ... if he managed to get into a drain, he might just grow into the next Godzilla. But nothing to fear ... the mosquitoes will finish him off.
