夜奔 rushing at night

因为年迈的母亲前几天患上肺炎入院医治，临时订购了周末来回新加坡/摈城的机票。

恰巧当时我的两位同事都休假，需要人顶替周六早上以及周一的差事，所以只能在傍晚才能启程。最终只能选购晚上7。50 的班机。从机舱窗口向外张望，外面一片黑漆漆的，除了偶尔点缀在地平面的灯光之外。

起飞前

飞机在高空飞翔

忽然联想起’林冲夜奔’.林冲是在绝望中夜奔，寻找出路。我则是去探访亲人。

抵达槟城国际机场，在移民厅关卡，人山人海，消耗了一个多小时才顺利过关。抵达高渊老家时已是晚上11钟。

隔天中午，去探访了母亲。所辛他的病情已稳定，不需要配用氧气。精神状况也蛮好，眼睛能自己张开，说话时声音也比往常响亮。

下午五点到机场报到，原本预定的7。10pm班机，既然延迟到凌晨1。55am。。。呜呼唉哉！虽然补贴了马币20 块，但那也只够买一杯Starbucks 饮料，或一个麦当劳汉堡。。。。算了，还是去机场内的贵宾室享用饮食吧。

这一回，真是名副其实的"夜奔"了。

My mother fell sick a few days ago... She became breathless, and oxygen saturation hovering around 85% in room air. She was brought to local district hospital for treatment... Admitted for treatment of aspiration pneumonia.

She was weaned off intranasal oxygen 2 days later, and discharged home on the 4tg day... But her condition deteriorated the same night, and has to be admitted again. 

I booked a return flight from Singapore to Penang over the weekend. Both were night flights. 

Fortunately my mom's condition improved, and again managed to wean off oxygen after 2 days. 

But alas, my return flight from Penang was delayed... From 7 10pm to 0155 hour.... More than 6 hours!

飞机启航时，俯瞰峇都茅的夜景，着实另有一番滋味！

靖捷凌晨三点半驾车到机场接我。抵达家门时已经是4点多了！

小睡了三个小时，便得起床上班去。

病人排得满满的，午餐时分，稍微歇息半个小时，又得“披肩作战”，五点多才下班！
