~ My Hectic 2 Weeks... ~
10:41:00 pm
Sorry for the absence...
It's been a hectic two weeks for me...
First and foremost, let me congratulate myself for surviving this horrible two weeks that I had gone through... *Hip Hip Hooray!*...
Despite working for 11 days straight without a day off and at the same time, having to attend classes after work, I have not taken any MC!! No doubt that it was very strenuous and tiring, I kept telling myself that I would keep on going for as long as I can... And I managed to prove myself that I could do it... *Hehe*...
Secondly, congratulations to my friend-cum-ex-colleague, Noraina, on her marriage... I was there to witness her solemnization... And I was there too, on her wedding day... It was nice seeing a friend getting married and settling down for a new future... I'm so glad for her...
It was a good experience being with the bride in the room while waiting for her to be solemnized... We hardly get to be inside the room for a few reasons... But this time round, we were in the room despite it being so SQUEEZY... Although it was squeezy with all the cameramen and all, we got to witness the important portions of the whole solemnization thingy...
And my Chinese Nursing Officer's daughter was very cute... She asked why the bride didn't throw, or rather, toss the bouquet of flowers like what you see on TVs... *Haha*...
Selamat Pengantin Baru kepada Noraina & Jumari
Semoga mahligai yang dibina berkekalan hingga ke akhir hayat
Amin
My Malay still good eh? *Hehe*...

I shall adopt the "

If you can do it, then so can I...
I'll let you have a taste of your own bitter medicine...

~ Compliment ~
12:38:00 am
The Director of Nursing (DN) commented that my handwriting was very neat... *Haha*...
And what did I do? Just smile and say "Thank you"... Well, I can't be too proud...
But I was a little bit
paiseh especially when she complimented me in front of the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADN) and a few other Nursing Officers from various wards...
Nonetheless, it certainly pays off have a slow but neat handwriting... At least people can read it without much difficulties!!
On another hand, the ward is getting more and more 'heavy' and busy... As though the ward is turning to a mini-hospice... Just on my side alone, 8 to 9 patients, out of 12 patients, are those who are diagnosed with cancer...
It's always pretty scary to nurse patients who are diagnosed with cancer... It's not just about the patients and the nursing care that we have to provide... I'm totally fine with that... It's the relatives that I'm 'scared' of... It's their feelings that I truly have to be mindful of... They are the most 'fragile' people... And me? I always have problems communicating, just in case I mention the wrong things to them, when they are already at the most vulnerable stage...
Challenging job...

~ HOTA ~
11:08:00 pm
Let's face it... More and more young people in Singapore are opting out of the Human Organ Transplant Act (HOTA)...
Click
here for article from the New Paper which was published on Tuesday, 17th March 2007...
Selfish? I guess it's just human nature... People tend to 'protect' themselves before something really happens to them...
But honestly, I doubt many would actually know what is HOTA... Well, probably not before the incident which happened a few months back...
The incident that involved a young healthy man who had brain aneurysm and pronounced brain dead and his family pleaded with the doctors not to harvest his internal organs just yet... Well, it was a big hoo-haa which was published in the news...
But believe it or not... The HOTA actually was established since 1987!!! Although it was revised here and there along the way...
I didn't know about the Act myself... Not until I went into the nursing course and learnt bits and pieces about the law... I would not even give a hoot about it if I didn't know anything...
Back to the issue that more youngsters are opting out of HOTA, it's kind of disheartening to learn that the young society is not very willing to donate their organs should anything happen to them... But again, they are not fully to be blamed...
If I were to imagine myself having to choose between opting in or out, I would be in a dilemma too... At such a young age on making a life-long decision, I would feel scared... Afterall, you don't know what would happen tomorrow...
But if I were to put myself in the shoes of the person who is in need of a transplant, be it liver, kidney or heart; even a small organ would mean the WORLD to me...
It's not an easy matter... Many things work both ways... Although I am automatically opted out of HOTA due to my religion, that doesn't mean that I would not want to opt in... But it's too early to decide...

~ Just Updates ~
11:45:00 pm
My craving for donuts from the Summerhouse Donut... It was finally fulfilled... *Yummy*...
But too bad, the Chocolate Custard Donuts were sold-out! Actually, we were only minutes late... There were still 2 more left when we came... I kept telling my boyfriend that it was very, VERY nice and I wanted it... And probably the couple in front of us heard it... By the time it was our turn to place the order, the donuts were, well, sold! *Darn*... Don't worry, I will definitely come back for more!
And yes, law... I understand zilch!
It's so wordy! Or rather,
chim... The terminologies were very confusing and they were simply new words to us...
And there's so many things to prepare for this topic... Class assignment, presentation, module assignment and exams! *Urgghh*... We simply don't have the time!
*Sigh*...
After 6 days of not working, I just don't feel like working... I wanna rest at home and slack all I want... But what can I do... Consequence of not working for 6 days? 11 days straight of work without rest... And in between, I still have classes to attend...
Success doesn't come easy and cheap... But I think I'm gonna collapse out of fatigue...

*Sigh*...
Yes, I sighed... I'm kinda worried now... I really wonder how my results would be... I've wasted 40% of the marks just like that...
The outcome will only be known in June... Only by then I'll know how I'd fare...

~ One More Day!! ~
9:31:00 pm
One more day!!
In fact, it's less than a day... 12 hours more to my exams!!
I'm not excited... I'm nervous... Honestly... *Hehe*...
Lewis Hamilton...
Oh yeah... He's one of the newest and youngest drivers in F1 championships with the McLaren team... Despite being a
rookie driver, he's been on the podium 3 times throughout the 3 races!! That's what I call, "
COOL"...
But sorry... I only support Ferrari... *Hehe*... Too bad the drivers in Ferrari are either not good-looking or married...
And yes, I do watch F1 races... Cuz I love fast cars... *ZOOM ZOOM! Heh*...
Okie dokie... Back to my studying...

~ Aching Back ~
10:06:00 pm
Oh no...
BACKACHE!! *Ouch*...
It must have been my posture... Plus the 2 continuous round of night duty... Did I tell you that doing night shift in my ward is very strenuous for the back?
And I'm SOOOOO tired...
My brain is cracking...
2 more days to my exams... *Darn*
I still have a lot more to go...

~ Friday the 13th ~
10:53:00 pm
Today is Friday the 13th...
Superstitious? Nah, not me...
In fact, my day was very boring...
Spent very little time on studying... Gave up on it in the end cuz each time I faced the books, I wanted to sleep... So, I decided to change the skin on my blog!
So, what's your opinion on it? Well, of course, I wasn't the one who designed it... I'm not that great... *Haha*...
But honestly, I love the skin... Well, I don't really like the colour (because I would prefer if it was blue!) and the fonts... The fonts were a little too small but I still decided to leave it as it is... If I had made too many changes, I would have made it worse, I supposed...
So, I'm sorry to those who are reading my blog... Cuz you would have to squint a little bit more... *Hehe*...
But nonetheless, I still love this skin... And I'm happy with the fresh new look on my blog... Something that I can look upon to until I start feeling bored of it again! *Hehe*...
Have a great weekend everyone!

~ Back On Track ~
12:16:00 am
So... I'm okay again...
My mood has been fluctuating like a see-saw lately... I'm just glad that I'm not sinking into depression... Well, not just yet, maybe... *Heh*...
You know... Communication is the most important thing between two people who are in a relationship... And that is just what that we're both lacking in... Especially with my kind of schedule, time is just not on our side and thus, making it harder for us to communicate... And furthermore, with a girlfriend like MUA, who simply doesn't call but prefers to wait for the call to come to me instead, it just makes things worse...
Yes, I've realised my mistake now... And to think that all along, I've been pointing my fingers at him for not replying to my messages... *Hah*... When actually, I've got a part to play...
But what can I say? Girls ARE attention-seekers especially if it's from their loved ones... It's just that they just refuse to admit it... *Hehe*...
Hey, we do have our egos too, you know...
P.S. I need to do something to my hair!! It's looking like a lion's mane day by day!! *ARRGGGHHHH*...
P.P.S. Exams in a week's time... I need to pull my socks and start studying!! Wish me luck!!

~ April 1st - A Special Date ~
12:46:00 am
April 1st marks a very special date in my calendar... No, not because it's April Fool's Day, although people would have thought that it would have been a joke for choosing this date... *Haha*...
Anyway, we didn't choose it, it just happened to be a coincidence...
April 1st marks our first year anniversary... Yup, the both of us, my special someone & I, we've been together for a year...
Time flies really fast... It just felt like yesterday when I heard his voice again... It just felt like yesterday when we went out for our first date... It just felt like yesterday when he popped out that question... Well, so on and so forth... I don't want to reveal too many details... *Hahaha*...
I never mentioned before about how we met, how we got to know each other, and so forth... Not that I didn't want to... I just couldn't find a suitable time... And I guess that this entry would be the most perfect...
We both met during our attachment at KKH for our paediatrics posting... He was a year my senior but because of some failed modules, he had to repeat half a semester of his postings and modules... Honestly, I did noticed of his name during lectures back at school but I could never spot this person...
The attachment was our meeting point... It was somewhere in end-November 2003... But well, we were just friends cuz he was attached to someone else at that point in time, and I was, well, interested in another person... But it was from that attachment that we got to know each other and I found that he was actually a nice guy... And often, we were both teased, not by just one but a couple of people...
Back at school, we could only afford to exchange smiles and said our 'Hello's to each other... Well, there were a few reasons for this but I shall not mention it...
And everything seems to end there...
March 2006... My itchy lil fingers were reading through my testimonials from others on Friendster... And I happened to read his testimonial for me... And sure enough, he's bad at writing testimonials... *Haha*...
So, as a friendly gesture, I left a message on his profile, with a simple intention... I just wanted to know how we was... Especially, well, since we have not heard from each other for like what, 2 years?
He replied and left his number on it... I saved it on my handphone for a few days before deciding to message him...
One message led to a phone call, then more messages, and then, more phone calls... We finally decided on a date to meet and 17 March was the day... Just a simple movie and dinner with a bus ride home and everything all falls nicely into place...
It took us another date and a few incidents before we finally got to where we are now... No doubt along the way, we had communication breakdowns, emotional stress but we managed to jump through the hurdles...
Actually, in my honest opinion, I've never thought that we would get this far... We got into this relationship with mutual feelings... I wasn't in love with him and neither was he... But we both were willing to give it a try...
Just 3 months into the relationship, I wanted to give up the whole thing... Cuz I felt that it was getting nowhere... And I was determined to end it... But his perserverance won the day, and my heart... Giving up was simply never in his context...
Slowly, day by day, I knew and learnt what it was like to have someone in my life... Someone who is special, close to your heart, other than your family... And at the same time, I began to learn what loving someone is all about...
After looking back, it's been quite a journey... We've had our ups & downs, our happiness & sorrow... But then again, nothing is smooth in the journey of love...
I am very thankful to have him in my life and making such a great difference to it... He's been there when I needed him the most, in times when I was balancing between sanity and insanity... Although sometimes, he can be so.......... URGGHH!! *Haha*... But that's forgivable cuz after all, they are MEN and MEN prefer to look at things at the practical side... *HURHUR*... That's why they say, men think with their brain (hmm?) and women think with their emotions and feelings...
But at the end of the day... You are just as irreplaceable... And I love you, dear...
