Adding some colors to my rusty blog since i'm too lazy for words.

after 3 mths

2008-07-28T01:52:00.000+08:00

... it's been dinosaur years since I last blogged.

lazy? no time? no inspiration?

anyway within these 2 months plus quite happening for me.

be it good or bad.

rmb end of May went for the 3D2N CampSunshine organised by ClubRainbow. It's a yearly adventure camp catered for chronically ill children between 5-15 years old. This time round the camp took place @ NUS. Well, it was my first time going to the camp and my role was to be the nurse for one of the group- SlimyEyeballs together with DrTingTW. Overall, I enjoyed the camp, especially with the kids, they are just so adorable and funny la, like how they talk, how they act, how they ask U 'silly' questions all these. It was just so joyful with the kids. First day was quite tiring as you need to know ur kids' condition, their time of meds and attending to each individual's medical condition needs. Rmb I need to do in/out for a gal like at least 3 times per day and it was my first time doing in/out -.-, somemore doing it outside of the hospital without dressing set, gloves, incont. pad all these. All U hv is gel, one urine catheter per day, plastic bag to store urine and alcohol swabs, so it was damn easy for UTI lor. So it was quite challenging for me to perform in/out without contamination and throughout I was praying that the gal dun get UTI becuz of me. Thank God she did not. I missed them la, wondering how they doing now.

came back from camp and went back to work. Happened one very very bad incident to me. Piang. Dont wish to mention it again. That day I just wish that it was a dream, but the reality came flashing back at me on and off while working. Haiz, it just.. Happened.

I finally dyed my hair for the first time in my life. hmmm.... maybe not too bright the next time ba ha.

Promoted to SN1 with effect of July. Received bonus at end of June. Eh where's the $$$$ now?

Completed one of my three years bond. So far, I still survivng well in CICU. But it jus that the longer I work there, I uncovered more and more ugly side of humans, the humans I'm working with. It may looks good externally but rotting internally. Bear with it and act blur lor.

Started my Degree in July. Essays ESssays and more Eeessssays. Die la.

Found a new bf-- my NDS, haha. I just can part with my blacky la. Thx ah WX.

Get to be a codenurse on last fri, cant believe it. Cuz ususally SSN will be codenurse. Seniors told me I'm the first junior becoming CN. Anyway buddied with sensei Chandran. Code free for that day. I just hope tongues dun start to wag.

Upcoming in august, will be HK trip with my working buds, Adv.Resus course, and NikeHumanRace10K.

And ya, Happy Nurses' Day in advance.

hot chocolate

2008-05-12T10:40:00.000+08:00

just came back from owl's shift,

nope I didnt come across Pigwidgeon or Snowy though.

ok, I'm starting to talk nonsense from my night shift.

while waiting for my hot chocolate to turn a tiny weeny cooler,

decided to type dwn my thoughts before it disappears.

was actually planning to upload Phuket's photo by day-by-day event,

but U see, I only managed to upload the Day 1 photos,

as I had difficulties in uploading pics for the upcoming days,

it just won't stick onto the website.

so in the end I gave up,

cuz I'm nt a spider too.

been a bee in CICU recently,

cuz it's business has been soooo good.

endless. it seems like a sudden curse to us.

this time round admitted quite a no. of DIL children.

when child turned DIL, his/her love ones turned 'mentally/physically DIL too',

some of the mums became mentally unsafe during their children's admission.

it's really heartbroken to see them in that state,

putting their whole heart and soul to their children,

hoping that their children will wake up again,

for they didnt know,

their children will never wake up again or even leaving them soon.

it must been so devastating and difficult to a parent to make a withdrawal treatment decision.

I ask God why like that,

God just replied, that's life.

alright enough of bitter stuffs,

let talk of something more sweeter.

o ya, rmb that day when I taking new cardiac case,

I managed to go into the MOT to see the cardiac surgery as I have to push the ventilator and nitric oxide into the OT.

even it's for awhile, I felt amazed as it's my first time seeing a live heart surgery haha.

received the official acceptance letter from Curtin Uni of Tech. ,

will be starting my degree in july 8th.

well 2 more months to enjoy my sch-free life.

alrite I hates and sucks alot in essay writing,

bless me.

ar-chooo.

o ya there's one funny incident that took place 2 days ago after my night shift and was having Swensen's BF with rachel.

it happened when the waitress served us hot tea,

i just took the cup and filled it with sugar,

thinking that the teabag had been dipped and thrown away b4 it was serve to me.

so halfway putting in sugar,

rachel was asking me, "eh, you drinking glucose water ah?''

I was like, "huh, you drink tea, you dun put sugar de meh?''

and later I realised that in the first place I didnt put in the teabag served infront of me. -.-''

DUMBO!

that's what I called 'Post-night Syndrome'.

alright, by now I shld hv finished my hot chocolate drink and turn in bed as I have one more night to fight tonight.

in memory of wilky

2008-03-20T16:50:00.000+08:00

In Lovely Memory Of

Mr Wilky

2004-2008.03.08

Dearest Wilky,

Though U have left us,

but memories of U will stay in our hearts.

Your friendliness, ur tameness, ur gentle, ur 'less-fur' (cuz i'm super allergy to fur), muscular body of urs, made me attracted to U at first sight.

The times we spent together regardless of celebrating humans' birthday, sleeping beside me etc I will never forget.

I rmb one time while sleeping in the bed, U are so cold that u buried ur head into the pillow like an ostrict.

I really regret for not taking camera to take that cute moment of U down.

For now, I'm sure U're having a good time at above for U had always been a Good Cat.

Hope U will have a good reincarnation in ur next life.

Love ya,

Your wife, Belle. @--'"----

Pulau Ubin

the leap years

2008-03-07T00:06:00.000+08:00

Just been and back from Pulau Ubin today.

had a great and unique xperience to a place that's free from human traffic.

Sometimes, I do find city life is too much to take and handle it,

so occassionally it's good to visit to a place with 'nature call',

nope I'm nt talking abt peepee.

Almost didnt make it to Ubin today,

as you know it had been started raining in the morning,

and we did cancel our trip to catch a movie instead.

But maybe God feels our disappointment as this was the 2nd time we didnt make it to ubin due to raining,

then God stops crying.

Ahmad, Suyun and Me decided to move on back to our Ubin trip,

no regrets,

only good memories.

We watched the local movie called 'The Leap Years' when we changed of plan.

Hmm.., for me I still found it ok,

perhaps a rating of 6.8 out of 10 ba.

It did made me feel touched at some part of the show.

But there will be people who will find it quite boring.

For me, it's still 'watchable',

maybe I'm a romance-lover ba.

Learnt quite a few things from the quotes showed during the movie.

You have to dream, so that you will have dreams.

It's easy to dream, but hard to come true.

For me, I'm a person who loves to dream and imaginative.

Although I know dreams won't come true,

but somehow in the confused world of mine,

I took my dream as my goal or life path,

making it as if it's really going to happen in my future,

which actually is not.

Sometimes, I have to give myself a 'slap' to wake myself up from all the dreams,

to face the harsh reality.

It's easy to make goals/aims/dream when I'm single now,

but life is so unpredictable then I had no idea on planning a 'safe' future career plan ahead.

To take advanced dip in CCNM or to skip?

To take local degree now or to go for RCH's Degree for CCpaeds?

I'm really confused now.

I really need to think hard.

Today might be the last time to meet up with ahmad before he going to NS on next Tues.

After that, it will be around 2 years from now.

Seeing nowadays, the relationship between humans are so fragile,

as time pass by,

once-your-friend becomes a Past Tense.

Perhaps it's hard to 'maintain' friendship now as we are separated from work, school, lovelife and so on.

That's the harsh side of life/reality.

Therefore, just for fun,

Ahmad and I made a promise just like the movie 'The Leap Years',

except we are not happening on the leap year,

we promise to meet each other 2 years later, same time, same resturant, same table.

Sort of 'testing' our friendship,

to see whether it really lasts through time.

Sounds stupid?

haha.

1 nite stand in cicu

2008-03-03T09:38:00.000+08:00

special thanks to C.K. for that nite.

2007-12-13T00:32:00.000+08:00

Lazy.

I'm too lazy to update my blog.

Being surrending my precious time to either work or ~~making love~~ to my bed.

Well, currently still surviving well in CICU. On and off there are staffs from other wards came and join us, but most of them 'dropped out' after weeks as they find it too stress to adapt to it. So I'm glad myself and the rest newbies made it through the tough journey, and nearly a month ago, we got confirmed and ended our probation.

Thinking back, when we first stepped into CICU, we were like in a big jungle without compass, feeling very lost and confused, not knowing what's next and where we heading to. Walking on uneven paths, we fall, we get up and learnt.

"We haven't even learn how to walk, but already we try to run." That what we felt at that point of time. With no basic foundation or knowledge on ICU, we still have to face another challenge of nursing paediatrics in multidisciplinary areas. Paediatrics comprised of any age from newborn to 16 yrs old, different ages different managements. By only memorising the ranges of vital signs for different age group it's can be quite tough already, even now sometimes I still have to refer to it when I'm unsure.

Working in a multidisciplinary areas means we are "multi-specialised nurse". Be it a cardiac nurse, neuro nurse, renal nurse, respi nurse, ortho nurse, ENT nurse or onco nurse. Whatever patients we are been assign to we have to 'transform'. And the knowlege in managing critical care in all this areas, we had almost none or even none. So we can only learn as we nurse the child. Therefore till now, everyday is a learning day for me. Until now, I think the most diffcult to nurse is neuro and next will be cardiac ba.

Fortunately, we have supportive and understanding Sisters and Seniors (nt all, unfortunately) as our "lighthouses" in guiding us. I'm thankful.

And not forgetting, my wonderful colleagues to work with. I think we are the most noisest batch ever that sometimes the seniors just cant tahan us. haha. Sorry seniors, we just have to liven up the sad and stress place with ~~dirty~~ jokes and laughters.

6 months had just flew away so fast. However, there's still a long way ahead.....

Waiting for my turn to go for the Mock Code. O my Tian. Ama... Ama...

Work aside. Looking forward to meet up with the foursomes for the upcoming xmas.

and looking for xmas present kills.

YOU GO TEAM SINGAPORE!!!!

All the best to you Fen & the rest for the World Skills Competition.

"I walk a lonely road

The only one I that have ever known

Don't know were it goes

But its home and I walk alone

I walk this empty street

On the boulevard of broken dreams

Where the city sleeps

And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone

My shadows the only one that walks beside me

My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating

Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me

Till then I'll walk alone

I'm walking down the line

On the border line of the edge

That divides me somewhere in my mind

And were I walk alone

Read between the lines of what's ~~Fucked up~~ and every things all right

Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive

And I walk alone

I walk alone

I walk alone"

2007-09-28T01:11:00.000+08:00

The best part in Life is,

we can dream of anything and everything.

But the worst part in Life is,

it will never come true.

When there's no belief, then there will be no disappointment.

Sometimes, In Life....

Laughters is the best medicine of all..

Everyone's has their own life story to tell,

be it be,

bitter,

sweet,

sour,

hot,

or even,

undescribable taste.

How you write your life story depends on yourself,

either you ruin it,

or,

you enjoy it to the fullest,

or,

leave it to God to decide.

"How you write your life story depends on yourself"....

Sometimes, it may not be True.

You may have written out your skit of ur life nicely,

but it may not play it as what you wanted to be in the first place.

In short,

Life's Unpredictable.

Today I may be blogging here,

who knows tmr that I wont have a chance to blog anymore?

No need to say "CHOY AH",

for I know,

when I have to go, I have to go.

I ought to write an ending to my life story,

someday..

I just cant stand those people out there given a good life to lead on while choose to destory their bodies,

by smoking for e.g.,

for smoking is a thing that U can control YOURSELF.

There're people who are dying to live on,

hope to see sunrise when they wake up.

So many little ones clinging onto their dear life,

or struggled so hard just to take in a breath to keep their dear life on,

every breath holds a hope to them.

Yet you are here wasting money and your life on a stupid white stick.

Dumb-er.

God brings us love ones,

and takes back our love ones.

Isn't that cruel?

I just can't imagine for that day.

I feared.

For one day,

I knew,

You will somehow leave me,

Eventually.

I really don't want,

can I?

2007-09-06T23:38:00.000+08:00

God looked around his garden,

And found an empty place.

He then looked down upon the earth,

And saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you,

And lifted you to rest;

God's garden must be beautiful-

He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering,

He knew you were in pain;

He knew you would never get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough

And hills were hard to climb

So he closed your weary eyelids, and whispered,

"Peace be thine."

It broke our hearts to lose you,

But you didn't go alone,

For a part of us went with you,

The day God called you home.

~Author Unknown~

For just a few days,

we had lost 3 little souls in our ICU.

We know you are suffering,

even when you are been deeply sedated/paralysed,

we see your tears coming out from your tiny eyes,

knowing each procedure we do to you,

will hurts you badly.

Sometime, we silently pray to God that He will come to fetch you,

for to a place with no sufferings and tears.

We know it's easy for us to think in that way,

for we are not the ones bringing you to this world,

as the amount of heartbreak that a parent will feels,

we will never be able to experience/understand fully.

For the day you left us,

although it broke our hearts,

but for at least we are glad to know that,

you need not suffers anymore.

Hope that you will find happiness up there...

President Challenge Healthcare Charity Run

The nite b4 the run camped in KKH.

Indeed we still missed our comfy beds @ home.

er.. jas what's that blue thIngy on ur hand??

sorri we r just nurses.

our barangssss.

not forgetting our camerawoman --> Fen.

yati, dun worry we will sure finish up all.

On-call Missies.

=))

I was -.-'' when they said I looked like during first dae of chinese wedding whereby mom will comb our hair.

B4 the 8K run.

Jie meis.

Frenz are like pillar of support.

Without her, I really cant complete the 8K run myself.

Hi Sir/Madam, which service do u wan us to serve u with?

Let's scrub our way thr.

Victory smile.

the last killing 100m up the slope to TTSH.

i swear that i was nt lking @ sis's breast la!

i was cheering her to the endpoint!!

we cICU won the best dressed!!!!! =))))

doodle-ing with the OTs.

Seconds b4 a huge dog came charging @ us.

I simply luv this pic la!

Chomel NYER!!!

mins b4 the starting of 2K walk.

Fen! i will NEVER forget this incident!!!!!!!!

Emo-ing.

i oso dunoe what m i up to. ha.

C u guys again!!!

We lk forward seeing u again!!

Surprisingly, I was able to complete the whole 8K run. Nv in my life that I ran throughout a whole 8K with round onli 5 mins stop of brisk walk. Usually, i can onli run non-stop for 2.4K then i feel like 'collapsing'. So what keeps me running all the way? I guessed was my running companion ba, without Fen and RH, dun tink i will make it. Several times, feel like stopping and giving up, especially in the mid of the route, have to climb an overhead bridge whereby i can feel my leg jelly-ing and the last 2 up-slopes to the endpoint. I can feel so much gravity pulling me down while trying to overcome the up-slopes. Anyhow, we were glad that we MADE it. It's all in your mind.

Life's battles dun always go to the stronger or faster man,

But soon or late the man who wins,

is the man who thinks he can.

Lastly,

dun ever wear scrubs to run.

2007-08-25T18:39:00.000+08:00

appreciation of arts

2007-08-10T22:52:00.000+08:00

1 day of Appreciation of Arts @ SAM.

On an art mood, I started painting an artpiece out..

and started art-ing on a pig too.

.. and while strolling dwn de corridors of de art gallery, I bypassed an artist named Mr Yee selling his artpieces...

.. and while taking a rest, I received a phone call from postoffice that they had a letter posted to me.. and it's some news regarding Mr. Newton..

.. after ending the call from de postoffice, I went dwn to wait for the postman to come and deliver my letter..

.. and while waiting for de postman, I took a pic with the artist Mr Yee that I had met earlier on..

... and since Mr Yee claimed that he's free @ that moment, he joined me the waiting..

.. and abt 20 mins of waiting, I'm relieved to see the postman approaching me at last..

... I took de letter and went up to a quiet place and read the letter abt Mr Newton's news..

and somehow, I found out the darkest and dirtiest secret abt him.. I was shocked and I really cant believed it. As there's a saying which says that dun judge a book by it's cover.. Wo ai chuo le ren... bUt i counted myself lucky somehow for knowing his TRUE colors..

.. and while taking this pic, somehow it linked back on how Mr Newton treated his preys.

Busted, dun let me see U.

P.S. Only WX n Alex nOes what m i talking abt.

Yati's 21st

2007-07-22T23:57:00.000+08:00

First of all, again I want to wish our dear Yati Happy 21st Birthday!!! =)

Had so much fun & laughters while celebrating her birthday at Glass Hse Fish&Co. Though we onli met up for couples of hours during our onli one day off, we enjoyed ourselves.

I feels so blessed to have such fun & joyful new collegues with me. We endured, we chiong, we stressed, we luff, we crap, we lame, we work, we think, we perservere, we stand, TOGETHER. I'm sure we all can make it through, right!!

Back to worklife, has been taking case for the 2nd week already. Things still looks fine to me at the moment, getting use to write essay report, various routines and changes. Get to do many things for the first time in my nursing life such as setting up ventilator, pulling out chest tubes and frequent changing of many types of tubings which i dislikes most cuz it waste so much time especially you have so many lines to change, still rmb I spent 1 hr just to change tubings, gt CVP ah, 2 TPNs and 2 peripheral plugs, and all in sterile techniques. Zzzzz... Thanks to SN Siti for having me so patiently teaching me the steps. There're so many many procedures and stuffs that we never learn during the diploma, so thr's loads of things to catch up lo.

Work will never go smooth for you everytime, especially when you are working with different people each time, and each person has their 'unique' character. Sometimes not happy with that person also must bite teeth and tahan lo, at most just swallow the unhappiness then fart it out lo, or else you will get 'unhappiness edematous' which is very bad for health.

Working in ICU one good thing is you provides patient-oriented care whereby you really get to know your patient well especially when you consecutively nurse the same pt for couples of days, and sometimes, you may 'attach some feelings' to the patient. You witness hw the little child struggles to breathe and to stay alive. Sometimes, I just wished that God will bring the child away so as to end their suffering. But on the other side, which parents will really really want to give up their child? It's really painful to do so..

Suddenly I hv no idea how to end this post as some feelings and experience cant be described in words as what I told Ahmad that Hopes can only be felt not see.

Farewell, my fun-filled journey in Poly.

These 3 years of life in Poly can say to be one of my best times i ever enjoyed as compared to pri and sec sch.

I had so many of my first timeSSSS.

There were happy times, sweety times, memorable times, sour times, bitter times, angry times, exciting times as well as sad times.

In these 3 years, beside gaining knowledge, I oso gained lotsa friends.

Friends from my class, friends from nyaa and friends from anywhere.

Each of them leaves a print in my memories.

Some of them went through thick and thin with me,

whenever so thick that I need more hands to support me,

and whenever so thin that I needed more hands to hold on with me as it's so fragile.

Thanks to WX for 'nurturing' me from a quiet gal to a noisy and FON gal.

Thanks to those who made me angry b4 as U strengthen my patient & endurance.

Thanks to those who made me sad/depressed as U made me a stronger person.

Thanks to those who light up my life with sweet memories as U makes me =).

Thanks to those who always entertained & tahan-ing my nonsense-ing and lame-ing.

Though we may all go in separate ways,

but we will bring our memories wherever we go.

tired

2007-06-30T22:52:00.000+08:00

.... It's been one month since I have started work, and I began to complain of tired.

ONLY ONE MONTH AND U R C/O-ing OF TIRED BELLE?!

.. mmh, ya I indeed felt tired, though it's a five days work for now. The working days goes slow like toot-toot train, while the weekends goes like bullet train. Perhaps it's the long hours which stretch from 8 to 530pm with only a break in between. Or maybe I just too greedy to have more break than to work. Yawn.

Started everyday out of house when sun just freshly pops out from the other side of the world and ending the day with sun popping back. Reached home, bathe, eat, tv for a while then closing my eyes to end my day. And it seemed to have become a daily routine to me.

The feeling of tiredness seems to be different from what I felt in the past as a student. For me now, I even feels so tired to board the train everyday and to join the squeezing game with the crowd, hoping to get home asap to make love with my bed. When I'm a student, tiredness to me can be just resolve by some chilling out or going out to shop off my tiredness. But now, shopping vs sleeping, I will choose sleeping. Even during weekends, I will rather spend time in my dreamland than to go out, so pardon me if I rejects to go out with you. It sounds lifeless right?

Turning 21 soon and friends around me keep asking me where's my popeye. Haiz, being in love can be both sweet and bitter. Being single for years, I 'experience' how love is by seeing my friends around me falling in love, being together or facing various relationship problems. I see more than I experienced. I'm not an expert in love, as I doesnt really have a good experience in relationship before, but by observing the 'love' around me, I learnt lessons from my friends and somehow I'm able to console my trouble friend when she feels down upon facing relationship problem. I have no ideas how those words comes out from my mouth. But as a friend, I cant do anything but to send some temporary comfort words to your sadded heart.

'Once bitten, twice shy.' But for me is 'Twice bitten, thrice shy' liao. Perhaps because of that, I will take 'extra cautions' upon facing relationship as I'm really afraid to get hurt again. So...... ah ya when it comes, then see how la.

Did my ever first last office this week. Although I faced death during my student life but i didnt manage to do any last office. The feeling of seeing an adult passing away is so different as compared to see a child going away.... it feels.. more heart wrenching and more difficult to let them off... Holding my tears back as I heard the child's parent crying so sadly after the little girl had gone. After doing last office for the little girl, I heard next was the other patient who was having a poor prognosis too, the little handsome prince, and he's such a beautiful boy. Towards evening on the same day, the parents decided to let him off..... I just hope that in their next lives, they will find happiness and not to suffer again..

Ah~ enough of sad-ing. That's life. Face it. It will happen to me one day too where I will leave this world from my love ones.

Looking forward to the Batam trip that my collegues are planning, as well as Harry Potter's movie and book are comingggggggggggggggg. and several nice movies coming out tooooo!!!!

cicu

2007-06-16T18:33:00.000+08:00

Woots! It's been 2 weeks since i have started work in CICU. Those 2 weeks seems to pass quite fast, and 1 mth orientation will soon be over, starting the AP shifts, followed by 12H shift.

CICU is just so Wows. When we get to know more abt the jobs they performed as a cicu nurse, it's another wow. No regrets in stepping into cicu. Beside to be able to be a code nurse, in future when there are natural disasters in other countries, we will be going thr to provide help which is always my dream whereby i will be able to go help as a nurse in other countries. So without being a UN nurse, i will be able to fulfil my dream by chance. (i'm nt wishing other countries to hv any natural disaster la.) We will also get to go to other countries to fetch cases if patients are coming over to SG to receive treatment. Beside travelling to overseas, whenever there are functions or big events such as national day or world bank conference, we will be the ones going there to perform duty as well. Sounds cool and fun hur. Kinda sounds exciting to me.

Well, everything has it's 2 sides. Beside naming all the good sides of being a cicu nurse, there're 'bad sides' too, but it will be temporary though. hopefully. Cos now we are stepping into cicu as a new fresh graduates and non-icu trained personels, it will be tough on us for nw. First, paeds itself is already a challenge, secondly it's icu, so it will be triple the challenge to us. They only started 2 years ago having to accept fresh graduates into icu, as they are short of young staffs nw. So if those realli cant make it in icu, they will be going back to upstairs (wards). But that doesnt mean that they are bad nurses, as icu itself is a very intense challenging environment to work in so have to see whether we are up to the extra challenge to face as compared to the ward. But we are lucky to have understanding sisters and staffs to guide us as they know we are not icu-trained. So now pray hard that we all will be able to make it!!!!

CICU was organised into 3 different disciplines. Surgical, medical as well as cardiac. Different areas has it's different challenges. Surgical involves different kinds of surgical pts to manage of, the patient that i came across was a neuro patient who undergo EVD insertion, so it's my first time nursing a neuro patient with EVD and monitoring ICP. Cardiac was quite an interesting place to work in, as will get to see open chest where you will realli c the heart pumping, and then they will perform close chest and chest toilet with OT personels coming over thr. So it's like suddenly the cardiac cubicle becomes an "operating threatre".

From the basic such as memorising different paramenters' limits for different age groups as we accept any age that is 2 kg and above. Lotsa of machinessssssssss to learn to handle, lotsa of syringe pumpsssssssss to handle, lotsa of 3-ways tapsssssssssssssss to handle, and there are endless things to learn. We were saying that icu was like a mystery place to us, everyday we will handle the un-knows and unveiling the mysteries one by one and we learn from it.

Planning to go ahead for advanced dip in critical care in future followed by degree, as sister advised us to go for advanced dip first cos firstly we are in a specialised area and secondly it will be easier to take on degree after taking advanced dip. Well I have planned to stay in CICU 'for life' as i finds cicu is a fun and challenge to work in.

Just hope that i will make it thr the probation period.

Jiayou!!!!!

Never Say Goodbye

"Nursing Peagant" :D

My always-smiling cute Preceptor.

My 2 closest mates Tisa & Lydia who always entertaining my craps. :D Thanks!

Fri marked the last day of PRCP, which oso means that we are offically graduated from the course. Now onli left with the graduation ceremony and collection of transcript. Hopefully be able to attend the graduation ceremony.

Feelings for ending? Hmm, feels like i'm drinking a cup of mixed 'sabo' juice. There's sour, sweet, bitter and spicy.
Sour for thinking back when first started the prcp in paeds, everything is new and 'code grey' 's scary words.
Sweet is when my dear little ones doing adorable actions when really melts your heart. Even they are naughty, you just love them. Some little darlings will help you to tear micropore tape for you, some will feed themselves medication through using of syringe, some will hold the aerospace chamber themselves when giving MDI puffs and some mischevious ones will sleep in prone position with their buttock popping up. Those little actions melt your heart and melted all your unhappiness you had for the day. And some by looking them, you just smile without any reason. The sight of them makes you.. feels.. there's hope and joy.
Bitter is for keep on falling sick during the attachments. Fed myself with 5 different antibiotics within 2 months. Even sick have to drag myself to work. DUnnoe my immune sux or my ward is that realli infectious.
Spicy is the feeling of 'highness' when you jokes and craps with the staffs and collegues. I was named as the drama queen as you noe I cant really keep quiet and do my work, or else I will be very bored haha. Lucky Sister was able to accept my crap and was asked to perform if there's any drama performance lolx.

I finds my ward will a very puuurfect ward if without 'code grey, code black and teletubbies', as all the other staffs are sooo nice and they are always so willing to teach. Can say this is the best ward i ever work in these 3 years. Happy to escape from the 3 bombs but sad to leave this ward where i so get use to everyone. Feels so unbearable to leave the ward when the staffs keep on asking me to stay. =( Sister says whenever free can come back to the ward and visit them again, hopefully there's chance.

Gonna to be a CICU nurse when i starts work in june 4th. Heard it's a nice environment to work in bUt some say it will be very stress in the initial part as you gotta learn all those machines and handling of numerous of syringe pump in one patient. All those critical care mx we learnt before i all gave back to PC liao. They were saying over there, intubation is just like insertion of IV plug. woots. my poor little darlings. Nevertheless CICU will be a good training ground as they said once you master cicu, when u come out u will be pro. Hopefully la. all de best to me!!

Graduated from school life means ?no life. I will be working 12 hours shifts. But one good thing is u get to off one more dae as compared to 8 hours shifts. There will be no more school events to attend nor expedition nor camps nor freedom. =( We had been studying for round 15 yrs of our lives oledi, nw have to change to adult working life. kinda ?difficult to accept. I'm will be stepping on to a new chapter of life.

During the last dae of work, I had a funny incident. While i was taking the shuttle bus from KKH and was trying to walk to the seat far back behind, suddenly a guy waved at me. I was hur???? who are youuu? First on my mind, i was thinking whether he's any docs i noe in my ward--> No, then i proceed to think whether he's any of my little darlings' papa --> No le! Then he asked upon my blank look, " are you the HO/MO??" I Burst out luffing and replied "NO! i'm a NURSE!! haha". Wow not bad seh, i got the looks of a HO/MO!! lolx. bUt do i realli look that old eNough to be a MO?? GOK! lolx.

Anyway, 10 more days to Taiwan!!!!

2007-04-19T22:40:00.000+08:00

Perseverance

I'm like de little gonna-to-be-fully-ripe apple hanging on the tree branches, waiting to be ripe and detached from the support of the branch. The branches are as seems to be my staff nurses giving me all the essential nutrients and support, helping me along the way to become a RN; a fully ripe apple.

But somehow sometimes, the apple got tired and loses it's faith, and as a result it fall onto the floor unripe.

Week 4 gonna to be over, and soon left with 2 more weeks before passing out.

I'm sure de apple gonna to perseveres and hang-on till it's ripe before it falls off.

Right belle?

tonsillitis

2007-04-08T22:08:00.000+08:00

Was diagnosed with Tonsillitis, which i tot it will most probably wont happen to me. But it did. Everyday in de Paeds ward, children were commonly been diagnosed with tonsilities, and nv tot that i will become one of them too!

Was not so sure hw does a throat with tonsillitis looks like, and yea so i go YahooImage search, yucks, i oso have a shock too. The Doc just told me that my throat is all red, swollen and ulcers on it.. In my mind, it was maybe look like de way you are havin ulcer on ur mouth ba. But after seeing de yahooimage, i took a pentorch and shine onto my back throat. o man, it realli looks horrible, just like de image, red, inflammed, with mutiplessss of ulcers on both tonsils. ahhh. to me it looks.. WOOTS. i better dun put de image over here, in case it put you off.

So that's explain hw i got fever on thurs morning, but it's slight only so i popped 2 pacofen tablets b4 i dragged myself to work. *i dun wan to take MC!!!* *MC = Make up*

Thinking that eating 2 pcs of bread will helped to prevent my stomach churning from effects of pacofen. But when i started to work for 1/2 an hr, i almost fainted. First, i felt very nauseous and then i started to sweat and seeing dark patches. I was told my face went very pale at de moment. So i just quickly sat down and rest b4 i realli KO. phews. that experience was realli sux. I oso dunnoe why littat. Maybe due to de side effects of pacofen? nono, i'm nt pregnant for sure! Later i felt much relieved by vomiting. Was tahan-ing throughout de 8 hrs shift, cuz was feeling quite wobby after that, and started to hv chills towards the end of shift.

And reached home, T spiked. Argh. took panadol and knocked off to bed. Lucky de next 3 days were DO. The T went dwn with relief of panadol, but went up when de panadol's effects worn off. so my T was like roller coaster. So tahan till Sat morning, finally get to see Doc and then was diagnosed with Tonsillitis. And the Doc looked at me and says ' o my, every mth you are havin antibiotics!' ya.. cuz ever since CNY, i have been seeing doc for fever and infammation and this time, it was the 4th antibiotics i having in less than 2 months. I dunnoe why this year i keep having sickness!!! Save meeeeee God!!!!

The feeling having tonsillitis is worse than having fever. It realli suxxxx. Sometimes the feeling is so worse that you feel like dying off better. Ya i noe is stupid to say that as i noe there're so many patients who are suffering worse than me yet they are braver than me. I admit. Maybe being sick be able to put myself in patient's shoes for once.

Hopefully tmr i will be well and fit for doing my night shift. *pray hard*.

Pls be lenial with me God, as i didnt get to enjoy this 3 days of weekends. Pls let me work well tmr. Ambitahba.

God why me?

2007-03-30T23:40:00.000+08:00

First week PRCP in KKH

Harsh?

~~Yes~~ and No. I oso dunnoe.

This 4 days in de ward just vooooommmed like a bullet suppositories.

Back in KK Paeds ward, i'm a lost pig. Blurred and helpness. Was thrown into an unfamiliar environment, be it be peers, staffs, routines, protocols, ward layout, knowledge, skills, documentations, expectations. I have to climb out of my egg shell myself to start all over again. After all it still depends on you whether you willing to take up all the new learnings. Have to re-adjust to Paeds settings and KKH's practices.

First 3 days in the ward, basically was to get myself re-familiarise with all the paeds' skills, layout, routines, parameters (as usual confusing, but getting used to it):

Let me just recaps over here, just in case i forget again, i can refers from here -

Fixed parameters: 0600, 1400, 2200 unless there's 4 Hrly parameters or 2 Hrly parameters or varied 8 Hrly parameters. Parameters does not include taking BP unless stated.

Hourly Temperature: For those febrile child. Off the hrly only when the child remain afebrile for the next 12Hrs.

Pain score: no stated time. TDS. must not more than TDS.

It's seems easy to read and understands from here, but once you deals with cubiclessss of charts, you will get hydrocephalus. Cuz other than parameters, there will be Hrly infusion site assessment if the child is on drip, and if the child is not on drip but plug in-situ, it will be done TDS/day. IO charting is another hectic thing, cuz in Paeds they are very particular in food and fluid intake as well as wee wee and poo poo.

During admission, you have to fill in LOTSA forms, unlike general ward, onli one assessment form. In paeds, there's a nursing care record, safety and security, personal hygiene, patient education, orientation form.

Upon admission, have to inform doctor first, have to complete the parameters within 15 mins, the orientation form to be done by max. 4 hrs, doc have to see the patient by max 4 hrs unless urgent conditions, and the nursing care record form to be done in at most 1 hr time.

Documentations in paeds it's seems to be easy cuz all de forms just onli need to tick tick tick. But just like MCQs, it either you are right or wrong ans where it either you really know what you doing to your patients or else if you tick wrongly... will kena, even just one tick. and there're so many documents. zzz.. I preferred to write story like what we did in general hospital.

mmhh.. blogging does help me to recap what i learnt.

Just when we are trying our best to get more familar with the ward, both sisters came and talked to us. One sister is trying to buck-up us which is good, whereas the other sister was just shooting arrows with bows of discouraging, morale-lowering and confusion to our bubbles of morale, motivations, hope, enthusiasm, eagerness, power and energy. She asked those questions which we dont expect to know in the first 4 days as we were told to re-familiarise with the ward routines as well as to refresh what we know abt paeds. Ask us which, where, what pharmacies and how they differs. Ask us which equipments when spoiled send to which individual's departments, blood culture bottles low order from where, how to activate code blue (it differs from how we activate in general hospitals, how isolation negative and positive pressures operates, how many extinguishers in the ward, and how the blue and black extinguishers differ, how, when, where and which level of docs to call first... blah.. blah.. blah.. In one day, we were bombed with all this questions and she expected us to know in the 4th dae. Then say if dunooe all this by 4th day, how you going to pass out as a SN. We havent even pass out our prcp and she was talking abt failing probation.

This was only like our 3rd time in KKH. Even it's de 3rd time, during our previous postings in kkh, we were not told abt how kkh operates, runs and protocols, we were onli basically meeting and concentrating on our clinical objectives instead. and each posting it was maximum 2 weeks only.

I know i have endless grumblings and moanings. But let me at least let out here abit. Pheeewwwwsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

But from next week, i will face it positively and i will learn the hard way although now i'm doubtful whether i will pass or fail. It's better to suffers now than to suffers during probation when passing out.

BELLE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!

GOGO JIAYOU!!!!

Cheers to all my prcp's peers. God bless.

EXAMS OVERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

and off clubbing we go.. can say it's officially our first time going clubbing ba. After the THREE years of sch, then we onli starting to club. haha.. This shows that we are ~~very guai~~ all along.

Before clubbing @ The Clinic, we went to Hooters for dinner. 6 of us tried all de different main course. I still liked mine best - Baked Sole Fillet. The portion was actually quite huge, where we can combine all our wedges and salads into another side dishes too. haha. If onli we can sell back ah.

our hooting meals.

In de mid of dinning, there were many activities and birthday celebration going on in the restuarant by the Hot Hooters such as holahoop-ing, dressing up de birthday guy or gal in some comedy way and i luv their Birthday Cheers!

Photo-ing with a hot hooter.

After 'Hooting', we went and started our 'night shift' in The Clinic. And somehow, wx, sy and armado 'get permitted to be employed' into The Clinic, cuz the age limit to be employed for male is 23 and whereas for female is 21 years old. Phew~ haha, we just love to 'work' together la. The music was blasting out loud enough to get NID and it was packed with 'patients'.

The Clinic.

Each of us gals were entitled to 5 free alcholic drinks, which was alot nyer. They are really trying to make us drunk seh haha. After a while we get to see our own batch of nursing students, HS and KL. And then as we walked round the club, we get to see more of our people. I tink ytd was a day whr student nurses unite in the club ba, especially right after our exams.

and then one man down..

dont worry, here comes a nurse to check for consciousness.. haha.

INSOMIA

2007-03-16T05:58:00.000+08:00

AAAAAH... it's almost 5am in the morning yet i still cant go into my dreamland even though i'm tired. Went to bed at 10pm cuz feeling tired alreadi. BUT i was "bbq-ing myself" on my bed, cuz basically i spent de time from 10pm to 2am tossing here and there. FOUR HRS!! I even counted sheeps to hamsters lor, yet futile. Shivananda.

Alamak, during sch time is hypersomia, now INSOMIA!! I always told my mum off saying that sleeping is just a waste of time, and wishes that i can even invent one anti-sleep pill so that we can remian productive (hm.. in whatever) throughout the whole 24-hours.
But now, I WISH I CAN SLEEEEP. Insomia is so torturing.

So i came out with an alternative treatment, that was to study Abnormal Psy.

Outcome: didnt expect i finished going through de whole bk and elearning by 4.20am. I was ~~tired~~ . I tried going to bed. Close my eyes. Waiting for my dreamer to bring me to dreamland, but somehow, he didnt turn up to pick me up. Haiz.

Treatment: wake up and blog, as staring at computer screen will make me sleepy.

Action plan: die die oso must sleep after i blog this.

Outcome: unavailable till i wake up de next morning.

Nites.

Mr Dreamer, where are you???? Pls pick me up ltr.

Nobody Says It's Easy To Part...

Today.. marked our last day of school. Having the last lecture and tutorial.

Time, seems to be attached with wings, bringing us through these 3 years with a blink of an eye.
Now, we are out of the comfort zone and will be out into the society soon & functions as a registered nurse (for most of us).

Today, thanks to David's effort for creating this video "The Story of Us", flashing back all the memories we been through together for these 3 years. The video somehow brought us to tears instead of laughter. Tears are just infectious as laughters, and it became so infectious once we started to give our individual speech...

Speechless.

The emotions I had are just indescribable with words.

Compared to primary and sec sch, it had never been so difficult to part with. NR 0405 is just so difficult to part with. I remebered hearing people saying that you cant find true friends as what you find in sec sch times, poly friends are just your hi-and-bye friends. But NR 0405 proved me wrong in that kind of saying. Instead, NR 0405 are made up of doses of love, care, fun, craziness, unity, non-subjective, innovative, closeness and..... other extraordinary ingredients you can't find in other classes. In summary, NR 0405 is Unique.

Looking forward to our Graduation Ceremony in coming July where all of us officially passed out as Registered Nurse.

All the Best for the upcoming exams & PRCP.

Cheers.

Smile Like a Lion`

Today's visit to Dentist, He gave me this pack of rubberS to put on so as to close the gap between upper teeth & lower teeth. I was somehow fascinated by the design of this packaging, somewhat 'unquie & comedy', with a comical-looking lion smiling haha.

Gerd posting

2007-01-13T15:22:00.000+08:00

Gerd posting was finally over. What a great relief. Almost want to give up on myself during de ward attachment. The toughest attachment of all I ever being to. Physically tired, mentally demanding. What to do, I'm still a student nurse. Sometimes, we students were sort of being pushed about in de ward. We are there to learn and meet our various objectives and yet we were told to do the things they dunwan to do. We dont mind helping out doing all the junior's work when they (always) doesnt have a junior in the team especially in the AM shift. GOKY. But beside doing all de junior's jobs we yr3 still have yr3's objectives to meet. We got to rush in order nt to miss de doc's round and doing changes for our cases. I tried my very very best to attend to every pts' basic needs and I'm dealing with 8 pts, 4 bed-bound cum MCM care pts, alone in the cubicle. But all I get by the end of my shift was faces of displeased & disapproved by the PM shift as I only just went dwn to buy my lunch therefore the IO charts were left nt updated. So in the end I had to leave my lunch behind in order to finish those never-ending work and to pass report as well. So my lunch became my brunch-cum-dinner as I brought home. And it really taste sucky by the time I ate in the evening.

Of cuz after that day I became very discouraged, wondering how am I going to survive the rest of the days in the ward. No matter what, I cant run away from it. So over the weekends, I gave myself time and had a "self-counseling" session with ownself. Telling myself of instead looking whole as a toil why not look it as a challenge for myself? Sometimes, we do have to learn the hard way, isnt it? What matters is as long you know you gave your very best of it, then it's fair to myself. You will make your day if you starts it right in the day. So.. anyway I survived. Thanks to myself.
And ya million thanks to you Phadz for being there to lend me a helping hand when I needed most. This Gerd posting may be our last time working together, but I will never the times we went thr all along the attachments, and nt forgetting de jokes we made during the postings.

What I enjoyed most during the Gerd posting was the 2 days of HSE. We went round the island for home visits by public transports; ranging from TPY to Queen's road to Bukit Timah to Geylang to Little India to Bugis etc, sounds like having USR right? haha.
Get to see wounds and bedsores we didnt get to see in hospital. There's one pt with mutiple bedsores and one of the sore is so worse till that we can see the femur bone thr the hole created by the sore. The sore was so deep that we flushed the hole with saline but there's no saline flowing out of it. woots.
Second day of HSE, all the cases are living in the one-room flat except for one case in private house. The most interesting case for the day was our first visit. It was my first time going to 1-room flat housing areas. I only get to see it from tv but not in real life. The first visit live an old ah ma, and she scrapped through her livings by buying 4-D. And she's always so lucky to win almost every week and it somehow became a earning for her thr buying 4-D. And she saves so much where she will re-use the bandage over n over again by washing it. We wanted to open a new bandage as the old one was washed till it shrinked in size but she still insisted in using the old one. Haiz. Beside providing nursing care for her, we went down to the wet market to buy some veggie and fishy for her as there's barely any food for her to eat at home and it's not safe for her to get around. So it was our first time wearing nursing uniform in a wet market buying things haha. And ya I rmb in the ah ma's hse where it freaked both of us out when we saw a dead snake in a bottle which looked like some tonic haha. The sight of it makes me shiver down my spine. Woots!
During the different home visits, we get to enjoy the different sceneries of SG as most of the pts live very high up. And we found out that Bukit Timah Hill looks actually quite high-up from far haha. And ya SG is indeed small.

The long dark corridors of 1-rm flats.
But there's always light at the end of every tunnels no matter how dark it's.

The snake in the glass bottle, nope, it's not a genie in a bottle. Woots.

May - NYAA OEIIII!!! attended the Nyaa orientation camp. Had a fun & unforgetable time. The bonding was great. The best part was de 'human puppet show' that we grp put up during de performance nite. 'Anything' roxs.

Together with some of de Nyaa mates, we went for the Outdoor Consultant orientation. The toughest challenge was the 7-hrs non-stop trekking from lavender to changi beach. The survivial of the fittest! and yeap all of us made it & became part of the OC's family. Great experience!

June - Conquering Mount Ophir. was my most toughest challenge in my life. both physical and mentally tested. But with determination & perseverance, you can overcome every obstacles. It's all in de mind... woots! and realli thx God for de scorpion or else i will nt be here blogging.

August - Together de few of us we formed de Ad-hoc committee in planning for de Stardom singing compeitition as well as de nurses' day celebration. Altough it kept us very busy throughout de planning, it strengthen our bonds bet. us especially NR0405, realli thanks for all the volunteering helps esp. de banners part.

2006-12-01T22:55:00.000+08:00

*shooing all spiderwebs away~~ cough~

sorri i was jus too plain lazy to get my fingers to blog.

1 month of attachment was finally over.

2 weeks in surgical ward was nt bad afterall, managed to do a no. of skills that i didnt perform before. Sister & CI was nice too.

And ya while i was happily walking to work, i fell and sprained my ankle, went to see a sinseh but didnt want to get an MC cuz i dun wan to come back on sat. so continue to go to work with my bandaged ankle. And my patient told me what a fashionable sock i have! (actually it was referring to de bandage -.0) thanks ah!

1 week of OT back in KKH. For the first time, i had find myself a reason to stay on to kkh, cuz i finally luv working in a particular place in kkh which is OT. Environment was nice, surgeons are humerous and lame, staffs were very willing to teach us and sister was v. nice too. Having lunch with surgeon can add some spices in ur lunch too, they can crap anything such as while eating, they will crapped abt what water molecules when u eating ah blah blah blah. Managed to scrub in 3 cases, LSCS, Laparoscopic Ligation, THBSO cum TVT. May considered to go to OT when i graduate ba.

1 week of ED back in nuh was quite a disappointment to me. hmm.. it doesnt appear what u think abt ED before u came in. Guess who is our CI for that week? it's jessica leong!! gosh, as you know her standard is super high and specialised in ED, well, case study are expected from us too. But she's nice as long you know what you are doing and know what you are expected to know too. Saw her the other side of cuteness too haha. just rmb to smile more! And what i knew is i will never choose ED when i graduate cuz the staffs said that there's nth to do in KK's ED..

Results were out. was abit surprise and glad that my GPA still maintained >3.0.. hope it will maintain till i graduate though i doubt so.

2006-10-08T20:13:00.000+08:00

Wee..ee..

Finally 'graduated' from basic Buddhism course from KMS with Darren.

Benefited alot of things and enlightenment from this course. Like how to be a better person, forgive & forget, be optimistic, how to accept the unacceptable, Karma, various Buddha's teaching & traditions and from it really changes my perception on Buddhism whereby there' re many misunderstanding and discrimination on Buddhism by many people.

Out of the 12 sessions, i liked the best was the last lesson by a various Ven. His talk was very interesting and humourous. Perhaps maybe he's young ba.. more to our age. He talked abt how he taken refuge since 10 yrs old and the process to becoming a monk. I liked one of his sayings :'' I like examinations, but the lecturers dont like my answers." Lolx. We also discussed on Christianity on different verse in the Bible too. Both religious has the same practice but different goals. I feel that every religions are the same, just like different racials & enthnic groups we have, but we stand as ONE in Singapore. So we must learnt to respect each and every different religions and their individual practices and cultures. Time passed by fast, and by the time i realised, he had been talking for 3 hrs. Hopefully i still got chance to listen to his drama talks again.

Wanted to go for the intermediate course but then it only began next year whereby i started working le. So too bad. Maybe by chance i'm able to attend the Drama conference on certain events ba.

with Metta.

2006-10-05T21:10:00.000+08:00

FYP Smoke-Free Campaign
Main Atrium

20th Sept
1000-1700

finally it's o-v-e-r.

felt a sense of sadness when everything was over. and whereas before that how we wish that everything can finish up quickly.

event's eve we stayed up till 2300 in sch to finish up the remaining research thingy as well as to construct mini pyramids. With everyone's help, we finished constructing 70 mini pyramids within 1hr. while building de pyramids, we were oso building our bonds within the 2 classes. Some of the people, it was my first time knowing them and their names although we have been working on this project for 2 mths liao. funny hur. lolx.

the next day 0630 reached school, but the tutorial room cannot be accessed till 0700. diaoz. so we onli can start shifting things out at 0700. By 1100, we finished putting everything up in atrium and started to welcum de GOH. ya we were 1/2 an hr behind the schedule. first time being event coordinator, i was a noob. lucky to have darling Yuz to guide me along. i was so scare that i will screw up all the programmes for the day.

everything was fine till it was our turn to perform our dance. Tons of butterflies were flying inside my stomach. starting was the most peak period. heart beats went poke poke.. pOKe pOke.. lolx. but after 5 mins on stage, everything seems fine and u started to enjoy it dancing on stage. no fears. just enjoy dancing. and the responds from the audience was well i tink haha. we oso felt that this was the best dance we ever put up from all the rehearsals we had. we oso dunnoe why. woots!

the exhibition officially ended at around 1630. the responds for the xhibition was positive. we had 400+ of visitors coming to visit our booths although the school was having holiday. woots!!! well done peeps!!! and we ended everything by celebrating Tingting's birthday. cheers.

we finished shifting evrything back till 7+. home sweet home.

what i missed most from all was the dance haha. still rmb rite from the start we had 'audition'.. but in the end onli left 7 of us. Precilia, Nas, Nana, Guohua, Yani, Val and Bello. 3 of us always cursing and swearing of having practices hahaha.. especially when towards the dateline, we had practices till 8pm everydae.. and we almost wanted to quit. it was hard for us especially we dont have dance background. we were so stressed up when there's new steps for us to learn. But realli thanks to Precilia being always so patience with us. She nv frown or show faces infront of us. we had turned the impossible to possible. woots!still rmb the 3 of us always will faced the back mirror and complain how fat we are and doin body waves.. wakakaka.. o man i realli missed those times. and i didnt realise that i was smiling all along while i'm writing all this till i stopped typing. haha. too bad everything there's always an ending. and i tink i wont have any chance to do all this le. haix.

some of the pics we took:

present wrapping

2006-08-31T16:27:00.000+08:00

woots. enough of present wrapping!! today we had spent 4 hrs ++ wrapping up altogether 43 presents. woots. i tink we all can work in taka wrapping present during xmas time le. lolx. first time so fun working with grp12 people, or issit becuz onli gt 2 of us from grp5 were there? lolx. and ya dance practice was cancelled in the end cuz nas cmi and somemore onli gt val and me nia. so after 'closing ceremony' of our presents and a small auction, both of us filled our stomach with an apple pie before leaving the school.

wanted to go catch the movie 'monster house' myself since everyone sae it's super duber nice, but too bad the movie is one hour away, so too bad and shooo myself home. on the way down the escalator saw my SJ's junior Lionel, he still look the same haha. the onli different is, there's a gal walking beside him liao.. so must be his gf lolx.

realli worry how are we going to present our dance on that day which is 20 days away nia, somemore we still got one song havent learn yet.. jialet.. v. jialet lo. and oso worried that on that day itself will be like todae the school was lit a ghost town as everyone is having holidays. damn why of all give us that time to have exhibition? woots so fast todae is thursday oledi, which means that sch goin to reopen in another 3 days time. *cries* icas are not getting anywhere, especially mental health on paranoid schizo. and i'm getting paranoid too. woots.

and ya, forgotten that todae is the eve of teacher's day. it onli remind me when i walked down beside the pri sch and heard that they were celebrating teacher's day. woots i missed going back to sec sch again. ya again. Sometimes, i feel that once we are in polytechnic, we tend to forget those days and events that we always will celebrate during our pri & secondary sch. it seems that it was all forgotten in the poly. But this year, i will like to especially thanks to two lecturers, which are Mr. Guru who had been taking good care of us durin Ophir expedition as well as Ms. Evelyn for been such a GREAT Guru to us! we class really missed your presence!!!

Thought of the day: Sometimes, something is right infront of you, but you still will missed it somehow..

2006-08-28T16:53:00.000+08:00

You know you're a nurse if.. (JFL)

You believe every patient needs TLC: Thorazine, Lorazepam and Compazine.

You would like to meet the inventor of the call bell in a dark alley one night. (ya plsss)

You believe not all patients are annoying ... some are unconscious.

Your sense of humor seems to get more "warped" each year. (hmm)

You know the phone numbers of every late night food delivery place in town by heart.

You can only tell time with a 24 hour clock.

Almost everything can seem humorous ... eventually.

When asked, "What color is the patient's diarrhea?", you show them your shoes.

Every time you walk, you make a rattling noise because of all the scissors and clamps in your pockets.

You can tell the pharmacist more about the medicines he is dispensing than he can.

You carry "spare" meds in your pocket rather than wait for pharmacy to deliver.

You refuse to watch ER because it's too much like the real thing and triggers "flash backs." (but i luv grey anatomy! cant wait for S3!)

You check the caller ID when the phone rings on your day off to see if someone from the hospital is trying to call to ask you to work. (ya another 10 more mths)

You've been telling stories in a restaurant and had someone at another table throw up.

You notice that you use more four letter words now than before you became a nurse.

Every time someone asks you for a pen, you can find at least three of them on you.

You can intubate your friends at parties. (cOOL)

You don't get excited about blood loss ... unless it's your own.

You live by the motto, "To be right is only half the battle, to convince the physician is more difficult."

You've basted your Thanksgiving turkey with a Toomey syringe.

You've told a confused patient your name was that of your coworker and to HOLLER if they need help. (hohoho)

Eating microwave popcorn out a clean bedpan is perfectly natural. (er.. nt for me though)

Your bladder can expand to the same size as a Winnebago's water tank. (yaaaaa)

When checking the level of orientation of a patient, you aren't sure of the answer.

You find yourself checking out other customer's arm veins in grocery waiting lines. (maybe i will if after i learnt my cannulation)

You can sleep soundly at the hospital cafeteria table during dinner break, sitting up and not be embarrassed when you wake up. (nt yet try)

You avoid unhealthy looking shoppers in the mall for fear that they'll drop near you and you'll have to do CPR on your day off. (ama ama ama..)

You've sworn you're going to have "NO CODE" tattooed on your chest. (no code red, no code blue, no code black)

week 19.
exams less than 2 months away,
yet i can feel the tension now.
oncology,
A&E,
geron,
mental health,
medsur.
2 assessments, 1 theory test.
now there're 3 more icas waiting for me to start,
yet no motivation.
somemore there's endless of tut. presentations & SDLs & Etuts.
i'm not a superwoman,
yet i'm a person who doesnt lit to ask people to do things,
thinking tat i can finish all by myself,
but sometimes i really can't.
i maybe smiling in sch,
yet i'm tearing at home.
staring at the 4 walls,
staring at the endless of assignments,
staring at my laptop,
my mind went wild,
loneliness surrounds me.
but occasionally i'm lucky to have u there,
motivating me,
listening to me,
consoling me,
cheering me up,
thank you GA.
sometimes, somethings are not up to our control,
what will be, will be,
what can go wrong, will go wrong,
what things maybe, may not be,
what you think, may not what you think,
what's yours, will be yours eventually even after a big turn,
what to do, that's life.

contradicting life

2006-08-24T00:33:00.000+08:00

^__- Childhood's Fond Memories -__^

^_^You grew up watching He-man, MASK, Transformers, CareBear and MickeyMouse. Not to forget, Ninja turtles, Power Rangers, Sesame Streets and Smurfs too.
^_^You pay 40 cents for Chocolate or Strawberry milk every week in class.
^_^You find your friends with pagers and handphone cool in Secondary school.
^_^SBS buses used to be non-airconditioned. The bus seats are made of woodand the cushion is red. The big red bell gives a loud BEEP! when pressed.
^_^Envelopes given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children'sDay.
^_^You were there when they first introduced MRT here. You went for the first ride with your parents and you would kneel on the seat to see the scenery.
^_^You longed to buy tibits called Kaka (20 cents per pack), and Ding Dang (50 cents per box), that had a toy in it and it changes every week not forgetting the 15 cents animal crackers and the ring pop, where the lollipop is the diamond on the ring. ^_^Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, The Three Investigators, Famous Five and SecretSeven are probably the thickest story books you ever thought you have read.Even Sweet Valley High and Malory Towers.
^_^The most vulgar thing you said was asshole and idiot and THE MOSTEXTREME WAS 'super white'...you just couldn't bring yourself to say the hokkien relative.
^_^Waterbottles were slinged around your neck and a must everywhere you go.
^_^Teng-teng, five stones, chapteh, hentam bola and zero point were all the rage with the girls and boys too...
^_^Science was fun with the balsam and the angsana being the most important plants of our lives, guppies and swordtail being the most important fish.
^_^We carry out experiments of our own to get ourself badges for being aYoung Zoologist/Botanist etc.
^_^Every Children's day and National day you either get pins or pens with'Happy Children's Day 1993' or dumb files with 'Happy National Day 1994'.
^_^In Primary six you had to play buddy for the younger kids like big sister and brother.
^_^We wear BM2000, BATA, or Pallas shoes.
^_^Your form teacher taught you Maths, Science and English.
^_^You freak out when the teacher tells you to line up according to heightand hold hands with the corresponding boy or girl.
^_^You went to school in slippers and a raincoat when it rained, and you find a dry spot in the school to sit down, dry your feet, and wear your dry and warm socks and shoes.
^_^There would be spelling tests and mental sums to do almost everyday.
^_^Collecting and battling erasers was a pastime for boys.
^_^Class monitors and prefects loved to say "You talk somemore, I write your name ah!"
^_^There were at least 40 people in one class.
^_^You brought every single book to school, even though there was one thing called the timetable.
^_^Autograph books were loaded with "Best Wishes", "Forget Me Not", and small poems like "Bird fly high, hard to catch.Friend like you, hard to forget".

alright, i've been keeping my mouth shut for the past few enteries and letting pic to yak instead. Hmm.. had a roller-coaster ride xperience ever since sch reopened. So many things had taken place - good one, bad one, high one, low one, lonely one and having 'one' turned into 'two' on 31st July. Ya thanks for reminding me again tat i'm 20 years old now. Nah as long ur heart feels young who cares. Afterall it's just a digit. 'In life there's no getting old or older, it's all abt ur life's learning process.' Cool huh. I created a new phrase again haha.

Rite from sch open, getting myself busy with the Stardom, Nurses' day cum ND celebration, writing proposals, painting banners, despo for people to perform for us, praying to the sky so hard that it wont cry and endless of ICAs, assessments, test & SDLs. After tmr laryngectomy ica, i can at least stop for awhile & hv sm fresh air till then my mental health ica. Woohoo.. looking forward to my 1 wk break on wk 9.

Been practising hip-hop dance for the past 2 wks. I admitted it was difficult esp to people like us who hv no dance background at all. And i'm a slow-learner too. Had alot of times when i realli feel like giving up, but told myself that i cant always give up things so easily. Belle can do it! Onward & Persevere! not forgetting my sec sch's motto haha. But realli thanks to Priscillia's patience teachings to us, she nv frown once or get angry with us at all. JIAYOU guys! we can do it~

one of the days where i really got crazy and went to watch movie alone, ya ALONE. haha. wanted to try something that i din do b4. well i went to catch the lake house. Quite disappointing as i find it okok nia as alot of ppl said that it's super nice. Found it quite boring during halfway or issit because i'm watching alone that i found it boring? And i spilled ILT onto my bag again, ya again. *cries* and finally i sent my bag for bathing. Other than lake house, i oso managed to catch the movie 'click' with peggy, ya this time round nt alone haha. and it was damn funny and touching lo, alot better than the lake house. A must watch movie!

Haiz, sometimes in life, i cant find Mr. Fairness at all. or issit i cant detect his presence at all even though he's there? Why some of us have to work xtra hard to earn for it and some of the people out there can just happy-go-lucky by doing nothing at all and get rewarded? This question has been going round and round my brain, yet i cant find an ans to it. 'Happy-go-lucky' brand nt everyone will hv chance to wear it, if that person managed to hv it, then he/she will be very lucky. As been happy-go-lucky people, nothing can go/stop their way. No worries & effortless and they can win the race. Ya i noe that when we are the ones putting efforts, in the end we are the ones who gained the most. Dunnoe whether is because i tink too much or wat. Maybe i should be more optimistic ba, having a +ve outlook and you will find peace & joy.

been asking myself whether i'm ready to commit in a relationship if there's. Sometimes how i wish i have a person who i will find love, peace and joy in him, but then at the same time i will scare that when i have to commit, i will tend to lost my freedom whereby i will hv no time for my dear friends. So it's like i'm contradicitng myself. Maybe when it really happens to me, i will find my ans to it ba. yea been spending my birthday alone this year again haha.. but not forgetting my classmates been always there to celebrate my birthday with me since year1 till nw. Woots i should enjoy my singlehood for now!
