~ Pics from my Open House... ~ 9:49:00 pm

Well, Biao Yong... Here are the pics from my open house the other day yeah... Enjoy!
By the way, I looked pretty shagged in the pics... Dunno why... *Hee*...

Me & my ex-sec sch buddies

Me & Xiaowei... She was my sitting partner and room-mate during our Thai trip in Sec 4...

Me & Guanzhong... The monitor of the class in Sec 3 & 4...

Me & Yangde... My closest guy buddy... We joined in the same CCA in Sec 3 & 4 which was Drama Club...

Me & Biao Yong... The most talkative guy I've ever met... Used to go home together with him, Xiaowei, Guanzhong & Kaili, and we would be the 'loudest group' in the bus... *Hehe*

Me & Razaly... My friend-cum-colleague... Got to know him from the Net during my nursing student days and now, we're working under the same organization...

Me & my sis... Well, need no explanation... *Hehe*

~ Goodbye Lil' Kid... ~ 8:32:00 pm

The kid is finally back home, safe and sound, in the arms of my aunt and uncle... But somehow, it feels weird not having him around in my home... It just feels......... quiet... Even on our way home, I felt as though something was amiss... Yeah, we went out of home with him but went back home without him...

Just missed the patter of his footsteps and the sounds coming from him... And it hasn't even been a day... In fact, it's only been 1-and-1/2 hours!! Funny why I feel this way especially since it wasn't really me who took care of him and me not being at home since Sunday till Tuesday night as I was on night shift... *Sigh*...

But of course, it just wouldn't be right if we had not taken any pics with him before sending him back... *Hehe*...

The Little Kid... *His baju reminded me so much of a park ranger... Hehe*...

Me & The Little Kid
Anyway, we brought him around Westmall @ Bukit Batok before sending him back... As we were walking around in Tom & Stefanie under the toys section, I found this...

It's actually cube toys for the kids to play... Looks harmless doesn't it... But upon closer inspection, guess what we found?

*What the....??*... It's SO DAMN misleading!!!

Anyway, for those of you who are wondering if I bought the set of toy for the kid or not, apparently, the answer is NO... *Haha*... Well, not because it has the word 'SEX' but because the age was for those above 3 and apparently, the kid is only 16 months old... *Heh*...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just some extras

Was sitting at the toilet bowl (*HEHE*) earlier in the day and something came across my mind...
Have you ever wondered what you should say when someone asks you "Why do you like me?" especially if that person is someone whom you like or love?

I'm the kind of person who can be good at words but never good at expressing it... But somehow, I can never think of the correct and appropriate words to say... My answer is always standard... "Because you're good and I like you..."... *Haha*... Doesn't sound convincing right?

And somehow, these words came to my mind when I was thinking about that someone... *Hee*...

Sometimes, liking someone doesn't need any explanation...
It's just a feeling that develops within me
That makes me feel so great,
That makes me feel comfortable each time I'm with you...

~ The Boy... ~ 12:03:00 pm

This boy who has been sleeping over at my house since Sunday night, will finally be going home back to my aunt's house today... Of course, we're all gonna miss him... Miss his laughter, cries, manja-ness and most of all, miss each time he says 'car' whenever the MRT passes by ... Anyway, we're hoping to take him over again next week since I'll be on leave for a week... (*Yay*... I'm finally getting away from work!!)

We're all gonna miss you, boy... *Muacks*

~ ... ~ 5:16:00 pm

I don't usually care less on what she wants to tekan me on each time I pass report but today was just the extreme... Passing report to her was HELL... She was so sarcastic and everything... Trying to shame me in front of everyone I was passing to... The other SN just told me to be patient... But there will be a time where I can no longer take it...

Whatever lah...

~ Clueless for a title... *Hehe* ~ 4:54:00 pm

Darn... Am having a muscle strain on my left forearm due to excessive lifting of patients during my night shift last night... There will always be muscle strain somewhere whenever I'm doing night shift... *Sheesh*... *Sigh*... Another 2 night duties more to go...

Anyway, talking about night duties, amazingly, I wasn't sleepy AT ALL despite having a short nap of 1-and-a-half hours only during the day time... Usually, I would go to work with that kind of sleepy face even during my first night... But surprisingly, at the end of my shift, my face looked fresh with my eyes so 'bright' that people thought that I was on AM shift... *Haha*... I think it will only work for me if I sleep lesser than to sleep more... *Hee*...

Had an open house yesterday... But too bad, I had to leave halfway for work... Whatever it is, it was nice getting to meet up with my friends again...

And thanks to YOU for coming... It was nice getting to see you again... Terubat rindu...

~ The Last Time... ~ 10:16:00 pm

The Different Faces of Me...
When was the last time I said 'Hi' to you?
When was the last time I chatted with you?
When was the last time I heard your voice?
When was the last time I saw you?
When was the last time I went out with you?
When was the last time I heard from you?
When was the last time I said 'Take care' to you?
When was the last time I said 'Goodbye' to you?

~ .....................???? ~ 9:38:00 pm

Another day has passed and a new day will arrive... How fast time flies... *Sigh*...

It's back to work again tomorrow after a day off... Actually, it was supposed to be 2 straight days of day off (the other day is PH) but ended up getting called back to work yesterday cuz one of my colleagues was on medical leave... But it's okay since I'm getting my PH back on Saturday... It's better actually... *Hee*...

Anyway, I initially regretted going back to work yesterday... It was like I was being pushed around by almost everyone... At that point in time, I really wished that I hadn't agreed to come back... But Alhamdulillah, it got better after that...

I have been so disgruntled about working life... Maybe bcuz I have never been exposed to it before this...

Sometimes, I feel like quitting... But quitters are losers... I don't wanna be a loser... Always tell myself, no matter what, I shall not care what others say about me... Let it in one ear, let it out the other...

~ Encouragement and Motivation... ~ 8:39:00 pm

Seeing this person again was such a great feeling... It just gave me a surge of encouragement and motivation without me asking for it... Especially when I was at my lowest these past few days...

Nah... It's no guy I'm talking about... *Hee*... But this person is none other than my TTSH's nurse educator, Lay Hoon...

When she came over to ask me how I was coping, I just felt a huge relieve... You may think it's weird but somehow to me, it was a great deal cuz of what I was feeling throughout these days... It just felt as though somebody still cared about me at work especially since my preceptor is not around for me to confide in... Despite what I had been facing at work, her words of care just brought my self-esteem back...

I know that she would not be reading this but "Thank You, Lay Hoon"...

Anyway, I have learnt not to trust a lot of people especially when you're working... You'll never know who's talking about you behind your back... Especially when people pinpoint you even for the slightest mistake...

Working life... It's tough... But I will never let this people ruin me... In fact, I'm gonna make them my strength, rather than my weakness...

~ Updates!! ~ 9:23:00 pm

*Yeah yeah*... Weekends are here and my DO is coming soon too!! *Yippie*...

Anyway, I got laughed by my GRM MO today... *Sickening*... Apparently, I had a new overflow patient under Orthopedics and this Ortho MO ordered "PFO"... I didn't know what "PFO" meant so I went on to ask one of my senior nurse on what it meant... And somehow, my GRM MO, who was standing close by, overheard and gave a chuckle... *Sorry lah... I'm NEW what!*... Anyway, for other's sake, PFO meant 'Prepare For Op'... Darn, I hate abbreviations...

Oh... There'll be mass casualty exercise tomorrow over at TTSH... Wonder how it's like... Still remembered the one I went for at CGH... *Heh*...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just uploaded a new song into my blog... Tarikan Nafas Terahkir, sang by one of our local singers... Like the lyrics a lot... *Hee*... Nah, it is nowhere near relations to my life... Although yes, it made me afraid to confess my feelings to someone... I'm afraid of rejections..............

~ Tarikan Nafas Terakhir... ~ 8:24:00 pm

Salma - Tarikan Nafas Terakhir

Nafasku yang terahkir ini
Hanyalah ku tujukan padamu

Kini saat yang terahkir
Ku pinta maaf kepadamu
Jauh dari lubuk hatiku
Tak pernah ku dendam padamu

Bila engkau tak percaya
Ku rela korban jiwa raga
Kini saat yang penghabisan
Ku harap kau datang kepadaku

Berulang kali ku nyatakan
Aku sayang padamu
Berulang kali ku meminta
Peluklah belailah daku

Itu tak pernah terjadi
Semua harapan belaka
Nafas yang terahkir ini
Hanyalah ku tujukan pada mu

~ Challenging day... ~ 6:29:00 pm

Had a very challenging day at work today... Apparently, in a C-class ward of 37 patients, we're running on only 5 staffs @ 7am since 2 staff nurses were on MC... And we're left with only 2 staff nurses to take charge of the 37 patients... And I was one of the staff... *Blergh*... I just did the impossible (to me, that is!) which was to take charge of 19 patients all on my own with no one to help me on a Wednesday morning... Lucky for us though, we had LOTS of student nurses so most of the changes and dressings were left for them to do... *Hehe*... When you have the opportunity, must grab right?

Thankfully, the changes on my side weren't as major... Maybe bcuz of the new rotation of MOs among the disciplines... So majority of the stuffs seemed new to them especially since the MO on my side was previously from Ortho... Apparently, he came to me and asked me which of the patients are waiting for nursing homes... *Haha*... So direct of him...

Also managed to 'bully' the MO today... *Hehe*... Yes, it's so meanie of me but hey, since he was willing to help, why not? Apparently, he had a first dose of IV antibiotic and stat dose of IV Lasix to give... Since he was giving the IVs, I got him to help me serve another IV antibiotic which he willing agreed...

Anyway, thanks a lot to Nadhrah, Mankam and the student nurses for helping me to ease my workload... Thanks guys!

~ Just some updates... ~ 8:40:00 pm

Just feel like blogging again... Macam dah lama tak blog gitu... *Hehe*...

Anyway, I realised that today is only the 6th day of Syawal and yet, less and less Hari Raya songs are being aired on the radio... Gives me the feeling as though the Hari Raya atmosphere has already died down... Dunno lah... Maybe cuz I'm working, that's why I don't really feel like celebrating...

And what's more... 20th November... The day we're having an open house... I'm working ND!!! *Noooooooo*... Okay, honestly, this sucks... But too bad lah... If you want money, this is what you have to sacrifice... Like what my mum said, earning money is never easy... And now I know how tough it is... To think that in the past, I used to pester my dad for money... =P

Feel like going to the movies... I wanna watch The Exorcism of Emily Rose... *Hee*...

Feel like going for a massage too... Wanna feel pampered for once... But let's make that an end-of-the-month aim... *Hee*...

Anyway, I saw some pretty unpleasant sight today... Apparently, as I was walking at the underpass from Yishun MRT Station to Northpoint, I saw this old busker gargling his mouth and spitting it on the floor... *Eeewww*... Hello! That place doesn't have any holes for the water to flow, causing the place to be filthy and the spitted water stagnant... In the first place, I don't even know whether this man has a licence to busk and by doing this action, it's causing the place to be dirty!!

~ This is Working Life... ~ 5:56:00 pm

Was sitting in the tearoom with 3 of my senior staffs just now after work... As usual, they would have little conversations with each other with me being the 'listener'...

And since they were talking about leaves (as in the leave you take while working, and not the leaf... *hehe*) and preceptees, one of the senior nurses turned and asked me jokingly if I was being bullied by the other nurses since my preceptor is on Annual Leave (AL)... Apparently, my preceptor is back in Philippines for a short (or rather, quite long) trip back... And so, the other senior nurse whom I worked with today was in a rather denial stage and asked me again whether I was being bullied...

My only comment? This is working life... Although in my heart, I really wanted to say, "Yes I'm being bullied!"...

There are colleagues who would help you out when you need help... But there are also some who would expect you to finish things that are ordered during your shift although they can follow up from there... And sometimes, when it's their mistake, they are actually capable in turning the tables round and point their fingers at you instead... Yes, I do have such people that I'm working with... And I have become a scapegoat before... Especially since now, we're currently left to 'survive' on our own...

Yes, working life is tough... But that's the nature of some people...

I will always remember the words of my preceptor... Nursing is a continuous process... You can't expect to finish things that are beyond your shift...

*Sigh*... I'm missing my preceptor now... Ana, please come back soon!!

~ Syawal... ~ 9:04:00 pm

It's been awhile since I last updated my blog... Haiyah, no time lah... Anyway, first and foremost, I would like to wish all Muslims,

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri
Mohon maaf zahir dan batin
I know it's kinda late but since Syawal is for a month, I guess that it's still fine... *Hehe*...

Syawal this year is slightly different... Not so much of difference since it has almost been a yearly thingy that my dad is working on the first day of Syawal... But this is the first time I'm working so I don't really have the opportunity to go out with my family to go visiting... As for my brother, he will be pretty involved with his army duties and hence, likewise, he wouldn't be able to go visiting around as well... Somehow, it does seem like my family is incomplete this year... *Hmm*...

First day of Syawal was a sombre atmosphere... Especially after listening to Takbir and seeking of forgiveness from the elders... *Sigh*...
The best part of Hari Raya though is the kids... Seeing their happy faces upon receiving the green packets... *Hee*...

Anyway, it's back to work again for me... I don't want to work!! *Heh*... Was totally in a 'switched off' mode today...

And here's some pictures to share... Enjoy everyone! Please click on the pictures for a larger view...

Just Me on Hari Raya...

Me and my family... Without my dad though...

The Brady Bunch

Me & my siblings...

Us with our Uncle...

Me & Sis...

Me & Ibu

Me & Ezzie, my youngest cousin... He was mistaken for my son a LOT of times...

Have a great Syawal everyone!! =)
