~ Updates ~
2:44:00 pm
The kids upstairs are bouncing balls and it's very irritating... But what can I say? It's the school holidays now... *Bah*...
My immune system has been pretty weak lately... Just took an MC yesterday... Was down with
viral gastritis... Puked at work 2 days ago... Puked again on the way home from work... Luckily I managed to endure it all the way to the washroom, otherwise I would have just puked on the train... *Yucks*... Down with temperature after taking a short nap at home...
I guess, I'm pretty fine now... No more fever... Occasional pain in the epigastric region... And I can still feel my stomach producing lots of wind, and I have to excrete it out both upwards and downwards... *HAHA*... Disgusting, I know...
And because of my sickness, I had to sacrifice my
date with my de-stressing partner... Never mind, there's always another day...
Went for a friend's wedding on Sunday at a temple in Tank Road... It's a Hindu wedding so it's definitely an eye opener for me... The most unexpected part would be when the groom ties the
thali over the bride's neck, the guests would shower the rice grains and flowers at the bride & groom, as a significance of blessing, I suppose... And just nice, we were sitting in the centre so we were being 'blessed' as well... *Haha*...
As for work, well, it's still as taxing... What can I say...

~ Lesson Learnt... ~
10:47:00 pm
It's another tiring day at work...
But it's not the same as my other working days...
I started my working shift with a collapsed case... We had to do active resuscitation close to an hour... Attempts to bring the patient back were futile... Patient was pronounced dead an hour later...
We were all physically tired after the resuscitation... But for me, I was mentally affected over this resuscitation and I simply didn't feel like working... Well, of course, I didn't since I had a responsibility to take care of my other patients...
Honestly, no nurse would want to encounter any resuscitation during their shift... But that is almost impossible since we work in the hospital afterall...
Just before I ended my night shift yesterday morning, my patient was all alert and still able to communicate... Still able to tell us that he feels discomfort and that he wants suctioning... In fact, I brought him for his daily showers despite him being on oxygen cuz he prefers being showered than to be sponged... Of which, I brought along the oxygen tank to the toilet...
The lesson I've learnt...
Life is short... So treasure those whom you love while they are still around cuz you'll never know when they will leave you... And when they do, there is no way to let them know that you love and care for them...
And this is what I've always learnt when a patient dies during my shift...

~ Goodbye To You ~
8:30:00 pm
Partings are such painful sorrows...
So it's goodbye to you, my dear... It's been a wonderful year with you around... Your presence has made my life brighter and happier... You've filled the emptiness in my life and accompanied me through the most boring and saddest days of my life... You've been there for me throughout, providing me with the things that I needed the most...
*Sigh*... Just as much as I'm not willing to let you go, but I'm left with no choice... You've decided that it's time for you to go... And I will not hold you back anymore...
Goodbye, Baby Zenny... *Sniffles*...
Well, I got it at such an exorbitant price... Of course, I'm disappointed that my mp3 player has died on me... And guess what? If I were to send it for servicing, it would have cost me a whooping $299!! Freakingly expensive... Might as well I buy a new player... *Duh!*...
And which I did ended up buying a new mp3 player... On impulse, I think... *Hah*...
Oh well... I need music in my life!!
P.S. Thanks for the tag, Kaili!! I will do it as soon as possible... Let me 'mourn' first... *Haha*...

~ E-Surveying ~
8:19:00 pm
Just went e-surveying on digital cameras a few moments ago...
And apparently, this digital camera caught my eye... Actually, not just today, but many, many months ago when it first came out on the newspaper...
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2
Well, what probably attracts me was the flash that could be opened or closed as and when you like it...
But according to the reviews, it's not exactly the best digital camera out there...
Actually, I'm not exactly in a need for a digital camera since I still have one that is still working well and fine... It's just the desire of wanting it... *Hah*...
But that's not just it... I WANT a new handphone, I WANT a to go for a holiday, I WANT... And the list just goes on...
So many 'wants', so little money...

~ My Updates ~
6:13:00 pm
First and foremost, just to be lame, this is my 445th entry from the first day I started blogging on Blogger almost three years ago on the 26th of May 2004... It's a surprise that I'm nearly reaching the 3rd year anniversary mark... I simply can't believe that I've survived this long on an online 'diary' since I haven't been able to keep one for long prior to Blogger...
Blogger has seen me through from my poly days to my current working life, from my singlehood days to my current status of being attached, from my sad and emotional days to my current state of fluctuating moods...
Secondly, I know I haven't been updating this blog of mine regularly because of certain reasons...
1) I was very occupied with work and studies...
2) I was busy preparing for my examination...
3) I was and AM too lazy to update at times...
*Hehe*...
But despite all this, I will still pave a little way of my precious time to type in an entry, if I'm in the mood and I'm not feeling lazy...
Thirdly, as I've mentioned in my second point, I was busy preparing for my examination which was, well, today! Honestly, I don't know how I would fare for this paper... And I don't care... Even a "
PASS" on my examination slip would make me more than happy... Cuz it's not easy at all, having to juggle work and study at one go...
There are no more classes for now at this moment till July... But all I'm waiting for now is my judgment day in June... To be exact, the day I get my results... *I'm tachycardic now... In layman's term, I can hear my heart beating faster*
Fourth, I'm currently enjoying work now... Don't really know why but I'm just feeling that way... Especially a latest incident that still made me chuckle till today...
I was supposed to transfer-in a patient from an another ward and I totally forgot about it, until it was close to the end of the shift... By the way, we're supposed to transfer our patients before 8pm if we wanna do so... Since I couldn't transfer the patient then, I purposedly went to call the other ward to find out if they really had a geriatric patient to be transferred over...
And to my surprise, this was what the ward nurse told me,
"You were a bit too late... We've already transferred the patient down to the mortuary... Do you want them to transfer the patient back to you?"...
Sounds crude... But hey! It made the both of us laugh... Just the kind of joke you'd need to cheer up...
Lastly, my relationship... I don't think I wanna comment anything on this... I'd rather just let it be...
Oh well...

~ I'm Done!! ~
10:11:00 pm
Yeah!! I'm done with my assignment... And I've done so again in 2 days... But I'm not as worried as the other time... Well, probably because the assignment's easier? *Hehe*...
Managed to squeeze in a little bit of time to catch this movie with my dearest this afternoon...
Translated in English, it means "Don't Look Back", although my boyfriend kept insisting that it's supposed to be "Don't Look Behind"... Whatever...
Anyway, it sure is scary with the sound effects and all... But I guess, the storyline is very much predictable... Well, you should go watch it if you're in the mood for some scare...
Next up on my list: Time to study for my exams... Movies, well, they can wait...

~ My Sweet Preceptee ~
12:09:00 am
Got called back for work today... It's those days again when staffs are being called back for work on their day off or public holiday (PH) leave...
But luckily for me, work wasn't too bad... Or rather, it was quite enjoyable despite the busy and heavy workload in the ward...
Well, as a consolation, I got to see and work with my preceptee for a last time as it was their last day of attachment today... Actually, yesterday was supposed to be the last time for me to see all of them...
It's been fun working with those students especially my preceptee... Not that I'm biased towards other students, but he came across to me as a very hard-working and responsible student... And mind you, he is a male student... I seldom see male students who are hard-working and responsible... Well, not many of them... And me, I enjoying "bullying" him... *Haha*... In a way... *Hehe*...
The sweetest part of my preceptee was his attentiveness... He noticed that I like drinking mixed Coca-Cola and Sprite for my Big Gulp and to my amazement, he got it for me today... When in fact, I never told anyone that I liked drinking my Big Gulp that way... Well, not to him at least... That is a good trait of a nurse...
And just a week ago, he was asking me what I liked... I jokingly told him that I like diamonds... Well, he didn't get me any diamonds but instead, he got me this HUGE dog soft toy... I was pleasantly surprised but it was a pity that I couldn't keep the soft toy as it was a dog...
And yes... He has definitely changed my mindset on male students...
And oh, don't get the wrong idea... I only treat him as a student and a friend... Don't be misled over my entry... I still love my boyfriend very much... *Hee*

~ Tired ~
10:45:00 pm
Just finished my round of night shift this morning...
It's SO tiring...
Work has been very, very taxing lately... We have many bedbound patients that requires more nursing care and patients on tube feeding... Not that I hate tube feeding but when there's about 8 tube feedings to do, it can take up to an hour to complete all 8 feedings...
I've an assignment that's due this coming Monday and I have not started writing anything yet... But hopefully, I can complete it by tomorrow since it's not that difficult to do, compared to the previous assignment which gave me a giddiness to bear with...
Followed by an examination the following Monday... Trust me, I don't even have the time to touch my books due to the time constraints from work...
*Double sigh*...
