~ Dinner & Dance ~
12:21:00 am
This is the one and only photo from my Dinner & Dance... How pathetic... *Heh*
Anyway, the Dinner & Dance was well, okay... I wouldn't say that it was really fun but at least, I did enjoy myself... Getting away from work and spending time with my colleagues and special someone...
Well, initially, my special someone did not want to come along since he told me that he did not have anything appropriate to wear... But thankfully, he changed his mind at the last minute and thank God that he really came along...
Imagine 4 people having to finish up the food that was actually meant for 10 people... 1 colleague and her hubby came pretty late while the other one couldn't come... So, in the end, the 4 of us had to finish up all the food... But of course, we didn't cuz it was just too much... *Hehe*...
There were a few award presentations and some performances by the TTSH Idol finalists... Practically, we didn't stay for long since Sri and partner had to go off earlier and hence, I decided to leave early too...
Well, let's see if they will make another D&D next year...

~ Guilty... ~
2:42:00 pm
I'm feeling a little guilty now...
Many, many incidents have happened in the ward and quite a few are related to me... Or rather, are linked to me...
This latest incident was partly my fault... Not totally mine but I guess, I would have to bear part of the responsibility... But the person whom I pity the most, is my colleague... Although she was stupid enough to have made the silly mistake, she had to bear the worst consequence of her deep mistake...
This is what happens when you are the one with the bigger responsibility... When you have people below you (example are juniors like ANs, HCAs), the mistakes that they make will somehow be reverted to you... Why? Because you are the STAFF NURSE...
It's tough being a nurse... Being a nurse does not just include patient care but also paper work, public relations with relatives, etc...
Anyway, I really didn't expect such an event to happen in the ward... I am really regretful and this wouldn't have happened if my junior had approached me instead of HER... But on HER part, she should not have done it since it's against the moral ethics... It was just too bad that the other patient saw it... But if i was the patient, I would have said it too... *Sigh*...
I hope that it would be a lesson for HER to learn... But I guess, it's too late for HER to turn back now... *Sigh*...

~ Dusty Blog ~
8:36:00 pm
*Cough cough*... I've realised that my blog is getting more and more dusty day by day... *Heh*...
Oh well... Cuz I hardly have the time to update... I'm either out during my day off or I would be burnt out after work...
Anyway, time for updates!
First up, my upcoming organisation's Dinner & Dance on this coming Saturday... Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead with it since this is my first time attending such a big event... Although at times, I have the feeling that I do not want to go for it... Don't ask me why... Just a feeling... I would rather spend quality time with my special someone since we hardly meet due to our different working schedules...
But anyway, I would still go for it since I've already paid $40 for the tickets... It would be a waste of money if I did not go for it... But then again, I have no nice outfits to wear!! Well, this sounds for a shopping trip with my dearest Fione... *Hehe*...
As always, my life very much revolves around work, work and more work... I am getting more and more dissatisfied with my working environment, especially the people around me...
There are many a times when I wanted to ask for out... Just couldn't stand the people there... But again, I love working with the elderly and just like what my friend said, everywhere in the working world is like that... Backstabbing, complaints, everything...
Therefore, I decided to stay put for now... But if the situation gets out of control and I can take it no longer, I guess that I would not hesitate to ask for a transfer... Mind you, I am a human too and I'm not one that can be pushed around or stepped on the head so HECK with all those people! Furthermore, the leader herself is one who practises favouritism and even though she's my superior, I don't respect her one bit cuz she just doesn't deserve any respect...
Yes, the situation in my ward is getting worse day by day and if those 2 people are coming back to the ward from their Advanced Dip, I can tell you that the ward will be a living hell...
And this is the latest thing that I have learnt... That it's not easy to maintain a relationship with someone... All sorts of emotions are being put into it... Love, happiness, contentment, jealousy, disappointment, whatever you name it... And now I truly understand when they say jealousy kills... It will hurt the relationship a lot...
And it also takes 2 person's effort to keep it ongoing and keeping the flame burning... It will die sooner or later if it is only 1 person who is doing the job alone... Like what people say, "It takes 2 hands to clap"...
And one more thing... Friendship... It also takes some effort to keep a friendship ongoing... But you are able to see it if a person is sincere in keeping a friendship or not... It can be quite irritating if a person only bothers to keep in touch if you because of the other friend and ignores you when that person is not around...
Would I call that person a friend? I'd rather lose that friend cuz he/she is simply not interested to keep a friendship with you... But I'm glad that I at least still have a few whom I can still count on... And I don't have to mention cuz you know who you are... *Hugs*

~ ~Updates~ ~
11:17:00 pm
It's time for updates!
Well, been pretty busy with work and stuffs... Finally, a day off after 10 days of work... I feel so tired and fatigued... And after my day off, it's gonna be my round of night shift again...
Anyway, life has been pretty good... I'm loving it now... I feel that my days are so much brighter now with the presence of that special someone... Yup, I'm much happier now... =)
And as for work, well, as usual... Tiring, physically and mentally challenging... But then again, which work is not right? Just today, the MSW in my ward asked me how I was doing and how work was for me... Without having to answer, he asked me again, "Busy?"... And so I replied to him, "Well, which work is not busy?"... And he nodded in agreement... So, if you can find a job that is not busy, tell me yeah... *Hee*...
And oh... I lost my top when I hanged it at the changing room back at my workplace... And apparently, I wasn't the only one... There were a few others who lost their tops too... Well, either people are just playing pranks or we do have perverts amongst us... Oh well...
Can't wait for tomorrow to come!!

~ 1st April... ~
8:47:00 pm
It's the 1st of April and it's also April Fool's Day... But whatever I'm typing today, is not any April Fool's joke...
1) 'Secret Admirer' is no longer a secret... I mean, I've found out who actually sent me those flowers... But I'm not gonna reveal the person's identity... Let it forever remain a secret... *Hee*...
2) I've witnessed my patient took his very last breath today... It was totally unexpected... After my colleague told me to check his SpO2 machine that was beeping, I went over to check it out...
Saw him breath in, held on to his breath for 5-6 secs before letting it go for the last time... Felt his hand that was cold, trying to find another SpO2 and at the same time, looking if he is still breathing (cuz there was once when we actually had a false alarm when we thought that patient had stopped breathing and we ended up pushing the E-trolley over and realised that patient was still breathing at a very slow rate)...
When I realised that patient was no longer breathing, quickly took his Dynamap to take his BP and then, rushed over to push the E-trolley into the cubicle...
It was kinda unexpected that patient would go so soon... But anyway, the patient was prepared to go if he had to, as what SN Susan, the Palliative Nurse, told me...
3) Well, I'm gonna keep mum on this first... =)
