~ Selamat Hari Raya ~ 11:28:00 pm

Oh wow! It's been a week since I've last updated... Haven't had much time to blog...

Anyway, first and foremost, I would like to wish all Muslims...

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI
MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN

And not forgetting my Hindu friends... A very belated Happy Deepavali...

So, how was your Hari Raya like? Well, mine was just okay... Nothing special... Except for seeking for forgiveness from my elders and meeting up with relatives and friends, there wasn't much that I was looking forward to... Probably the yummy food and delicious goodies as well... *Hehe*...

Visited both my paternal and maternal grandmothers as well yesterday...

But what I'm really looking forward to is next weekend!! *Yay*...

Secondly, I'm on leave!! Yes, for a week!! Although to some, it may seem redundant especially since almost everyone in the family is working during weekdays, at least it's a good time for me to take a break from work... Away from the stress of work...

Lastly, my night shift which I had just before Hari Raya... I tell you, it was just relaxing... *Hehe*...

Okay, I shall stop here now... Selamat Hari Raya!!

~ My tolerance level? Zilch... ~ 11:35:00 pm

Although Ramadhan is known as the fasting month of the Islamic calendar, it is also a period to test our faith, patience and whatever-you-name-it...

And during this fasting month, my tolerance level is almost close to zero, nil, none, zilch... I have been super impatient with things both at home and work...

Sometimes, it's due to the environment and workload that makes you behave the way you do things...

As for now, I am very tired... I'm feeling the fatigue... Sometimes, I get so frustrated that I just feel like shutting my myself away from everyone else... Just like yesterday, despite having my ears plugged with music, I can still hear the noise from people on the train and somehow, it was making me frustrated... On that spot, I nearly wanted to shout so that everyone could just shut up...

I wonder... What is wrong with me?

~ Updates Again... ~ 7:50:00 pm

Can anyone recommend me any good websites to go to? I'm practically going over and over again to the same old sites... But please, only 'clean' websites! *Chuckles*...

Anyway, it's time for updates! So, what have I been up to?

Firstly... I've just ended my 3-day unplanned leave yesterday... Why unplanned? Well, initially, I was supposed to work for 11 days straight without a day off... Apparently, one of my colleagues came to me and offered me the first portion of her leave which was from Monday till Wednesday... And since I still have quite a few days of leaves left, I went ahead and took it... Well, at least I got to take a break and rest... Or rather, took the opportunity to clean up my room... But don't ask me if I'm done... Let's just say that I have 70% left to go... *Haha*...

Secondly, in a few entries back, I did mentioned that I got something that I really wanted... And ta-daa! I've already gotten it and in fact, I'm using it now!

Presenting to you...

My ever dearest lappie!!
I'm loving it...

And curently, the main purpose of the laptop is to watch my set of Grey's Anatomy DVD... *Haha*... Yup! At my own convenience...

Thirdly... A gathering with my former Jurong Institute pals!!

Genevieve, me, Serene & Tiff

Well, all I had was fun, FUN & MORE FUN...

Actually, there's more to the things that I can update about but I guess, this is sufficient... For now...

And oh... I'm contemplating to get the Ghost Whisperer from Amazon.com... Should I get it? *Hmmm*...

~ "I Dream"? Yeah, you wished!! ~ 10:31:00 pm

Well, I've guessed that most of you, or at least a few, have read it in the newspaper that the song 'I Dream' which was sang by Taufik Batisah, is not an original song...

Well, I've guessed that it's true after all...

Guys, do you think it's fair for our Singapore Idols? Who's knows, maybe 'You Give Me Wings' sang by Hady Mirza during the second season of Singapore Idol, may not be an original song either... *Shrugs*

Anyway, extra updates... The haze has been really, really bad today... Please God, all we need now is some rain... At least the rain will lessen the haze a wee bit...

~ Hazy... ~ 11:04:00 pm

I think that the haze has affected us in one way or another... Today was the worse I guess... My ward just felt like it was on fire... So smoky!!! Even one of my colleagues was complaining that it was hard to breath with the smoky smell... So, to all, do take care of your health... Especially those with respiratory problems, little babies and kids, and elderly...

~ Expressive Expressions ~ 9:03:00 pm

I realised that people can really express their emotions well, either by saying them out or simply just by writing, whenever they are happy, sad or angry... Well, that's probably cuz when we are overwhelmed with emotions, we tend to have a lot in mind and therefore, there are tendencies of us being more expressive...

Just like myself, I tend to write better each time I'm disappointed or angered over something or someone... It's more difficult for me to express things or issues verbally... And that's why this blog comes to existance... Just a place for me to share my happiness, joy, sorrow or anger with everyone who's reading... Well, of course, the anger part comes with limitation as well... *Hehe*...

It's been more than 2 years since I've started this blog going... No no!! I have no intention of shutting this blog down for I've put in too much effort to have it shut... Although I do admit that sometimes, I just don't have the time to write even a single entry especially when I have SO much to write about... And in time, I would have already forgotten about what I wanna write... There were also times when I have all the time to write about something but each time I face this "Create Post" page, my mind would just go all blank... And I would just shut the whole IE down...

Well, no special reason on why I'm writing this entry... It just happens to be a random thought on my mind... But all I wanna say is that, I simply love writing... That's why you see more of words and less of pictures on my blog... I prefer to describe things rather than putting a picture in... Yes, people do say, "Picture speaks a thousand words"... But I prefer to see things in my perspective... What is nice to me, may not be for you and vice-versa...

But no matter what, I'm gonna keep this blog going even if it bores anyone to tears... That's cuz I enjoy reminiscing the past, whether happy or sad... Who knows if one day, I can't remember things anymore, I can use this blog to jolt my failing memory... Just like now, each time when I read my old entries, I will feel like I'm relieving the past again...

Anyway, enough of my crapping... *Chuckles*...

Went over to Causeway Point with no apparent intention today... But I ended getting something that I really wanted... Well, I don't have the item with me now but I'm just really happy to have bought it that I really couldn't contain my excitement... Anyway, I will show it in time to come... *Grin*...

And oh... I've already watched the first 4 episodes of Grey's Anatomy... When I started watching, I just didn't want to stop... It was just SO ADDICTIVE!! Even worse than Heroin or Subutex... *Haha*... I'm just kidding...

Anyway, I forgot to blog about this in my previous entry... Well, I have a personal chauffeur from now on... *Haha*... Again, I'm just kidding... But really, I'm really glad that my special someone has obtained his Class 3 driving licence cuz I knew that he really wanted it badly...

Congrats dear!! I can't wait to cruise down the roads of Singapore with you... Although I know that there's nothing much to see... *Haha*...

~ Another Night Shift... ~ 2:04:00 am

It's already 2am and I'm still not yet asleep... In fact, my eyes don't feel tired at all... Well, that's probably cuz I've slept for 8 hours straight without waking up, during the day time... Anyway, don't blame me cuz I've just came back from night shift early yesterday morning... *Hee*...

Anyway, as a routine, updates about my round of night duty... Everything went well throughout the first two nights despite having a couple of ill patients... For my last night, my mind wasn't really in peace cuz I was really worried about one of the patients... Well, as usual after taking over report at 10pm, I would give medications and do tube feedings... Apparently, I was feeding this patient her 10pm feeds... When I did the manual aspiration via the tube, there was nil aspiration noted... And so, I went on with the feeding... And right after the feeding, the patient vomitted... Afraid that history would repeat itself again (there was another incident which I don't wish to elaborate), I panicked and did whatever was necessary... Luckily, her parameters were stable... Because of this, that was why I didn't have a peace of mind throughout the whole night... But of course, I survived through the night and the patient was okay...

A very challenging night shift indeed although this time round, things were rather relaxing since we had a full house... Or rather, a full bedded ward... *Hee*... Furthermore, the junior that I was working with was rather good, so working with her made me feel at ease although the two of us would bicker every now and then... *Hehe*...

Anyway, I realised that I do suffer from a "post-night syndrome"... But my "post-night syndrome" is different... Not that I cannot sleep at all (I still can!!), but I will behave like a 'crazy' person, going around disturbing people and laughing out at almost every thing... A huge contrast compared to when I'm really tired or fatigue... And my victim: My Sister... *Haha*...

As for other updates...

Had an iftar or 'breaking fast' session at my granny's place on Saturday... And again, just like the year before, I had to leave right after I broke fast to head to work for my night duty... Apparently, I was reading through my old entries and I noticed the similarities...

In fact, there were more similarities between last year and this year...
Similarity 1: I went on night shift a few days after Ramadhan started...
Similarity 2: I'll be doing 11 days straight of work without a day off...
Similarity 3: I'll be going on night shift right before Hari Raya...
As if history repeats itself again... But if so, hopefully, it's only for the best...

Anyway, went out to break fast with my family... It's been a while since we last went out together to eat... Nothing special though but it's the family bonding that I felt... After that, we headed down to Geylang Serai to the bazaar... Well, nothing much really... It's almost the same every year... And although the Geylang Serai Market is no longer there, the spirit of Hari Raya Bazaar is still very much there... I do miss the old market, although it was smelly and all but I still liked going there... Too bad, all that is left are just memories now...

And oh... My Grey's Anatomy Season Two DVD is here!! *Yippee!!*... But I don't think I can watch it anytime soon cuz my mum would be grumbling if I would be sitting down in front of the TV all day long... *Haha*... Probably I'll try to watch 1 episode per day...
