Oh well...
think it's gonna be a long post.

I'm a person that really forgives & forget.
I mean it.
Even after quarrelling with Jason,
he smsed me and we became friends again.
I think it's really sweet of people to just check back on what they're doing.
Like, to think that an old friend of yours haven't really forgotten you.

I'm a bad girl.
To think about it, yes I really am.
Looking at friends that are older than me,
like weizhi, xueming, irene.
Im 17, yet they're 18.
It makes me curious why my thinking and stuffs are beyond theirs.
Probably the gap isnt so big either.
I go home late, practically everyday.
After morning shifts of ward duty, I go out.
Be it shopping whatsoever....
I can't stay at home for one whole day.
I think I'll die.
After night shifts, I go for dinner with Bf.
Nah, I see no wrong in doing that.
Imagine that you haven't eaten for a whole day,
okay I really didn't eat the whole day, wanted to eat during my 2nd break today.
But my aunt's, in law's, dad is hospitalised, so I went down to check him out,
chatted with my aunt and uncle.
There goes my 2nd break.
Breaks are very very important to me!
Got my reasons for this. =)

My parents complain that I havent been home.
Oh anyway, Shasha gave birth to 2 puppies, unfortunately one goned, cos he was trapped under the wooden barrier, in which Sha wasn't able to catch her out. Probably it's just fated that we cant really keep a male dog.

Weird stuffs:
My first dog, Mickey, male, was sent away.
Followed by Qooshie, in a car accident.
Then my little Qooshie, hours after birth.

TRAGIC!

But most likely I would persuade my parents to keep the puppy.
In memorial of Qooshie.
That puppy is a female one.

Was talking to an uncle in the ward in the night.
I was really curious so I asked him some questions, translated.
He's got lung problems thus not able to swallow food via mouth.

"Uncle, would you still feel hungry when being fed by tube?"

- Will lah, but what to do. Also like that.

"Orh okay, won't you get bored? When I was admitted for dengue, I was bored to the core"

- It depends on how you treat your stay in the hospital. If you look negatively, then obviously, you would make yourself more upset. When my friends come, it just seems like the time is really enjoyable. "苦中作乐" lor.

His thinking really impressed me.
I've seen many patients get stressed up living in the ward, in which turned into anger and frustration.

-----------------------------

Many people tell me stuffs like,

Im impressed by what you do.

But thinking again, is it really that impressive.

Things nurses gotta do (that's if you wanna know):

• Change diapers
• Clean perinal area if neccesary
• Assist patient to bathe
• Assist patient to pass motion
• Assist patient to pass urine
• Observe for tube fed patient's oral hygiene and clean if necessary
• Taking vital signs/parameters (BP, pulse, respiration, SPO2, temperature) hourly/4hourly
• Perform bedbath
• Lift and transfer patient (eg: position patient to higher end of the bed)
• Changing of linen
• Clear urine in urine bag
• Chartings

Okay, that's most of it that I can remember.
I brought donuts to Bf's workplace yesterday.
Kept a box for his uncle as well.

I don't know why, probably I felt a little disappointed in someone today.
I went to the staff toilet and seretly cried.
It's been a long time since I cried.
So be honoured alright?
Bf cheered me up, and that really made me feel better.
At least I know I'm not the only person standing.

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhmygod.



YESTERDAY
I went to Bf's grandma house with all his aunties and uncles and grandma around.
It was damn embarassing an malu for me lor.
His cousin was alright, we went to Long John for lunch and Jollibean for ice cream.
The people there are alright.
So many aunties that I couldn't figure which was which when BF talked to me about afterwards.
Went to 511 to meet Zijie, Hanpeng, Joshua at the coffeeshop.
Zijie's uncle kept making fun of HanPeng about his hair lor!
Then we went to Bf's house to watch soccer.
Amelia was around and soon after, their parents came home.
Amelia and I were playing iSketch together and it was so fun!
It was soooo fun and the website is: www.isketch.net
Go play! Im friggin addicted to it man!!!!
She was saying how good I was and Bf was like:
Of course she's good at it lah! She talks alot of crap what!
-.-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chionged home afterwards. Missed the lsat bus or so I think.
The cab driver rocked. Or at it least it might probably be luck.
There were like no traffic lights at all!
Reached home and watched a movie with my parents and sis.

DAY BEFORE

Went to meet Bf at his workplace and I was talking to his uncle.
His uncle was REALLY GOOD at negotiating with the customers.
When I came back from the toilet, the lenses was already sold to the ang moh.
Woah.
His shop is located at The Adelphi, B1.
Went to Marina Square after that.
Watch the F1 for awhile and left for Home! =D

Use pad for more than 3 hours can cause cervical cancer & bacteria infection!


FOR THOSE OF US WHO USE SANITARY NAPKINS/PADS:
IF u ever wondered what were the ingredients that made popular brands so
'free! and light and carefree',
well here's the bit: The material that makes the pad so paper THIN, is cellulose gel. Yeap, it's not even cotton!!!!!!
DO NOT wear the same pad for more than 3 hours of a maximum!!!
After this duration, the genital area is prone tobacterial actionand may result in cervical cancer other complications!!!!!!!!!!

REMEMBER! NEVER NEVER NEVER WEAR THE SAME PAD FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS!!!!

Causes of over wearing: Cervical cancer.

Tampon is worse as tampon makers include asbestos in tampons. Because asbestos makes you bleed more, if you bleed more, you're going to need to use more. Why isn't this against the law since asbestos is so dangerous? Because the powers that be, in all their wisdom (not), did not consider tampons as being ingested, and, therefore, didn't consider them illegal or dangerous.


ALTERNATIVES

• Using feminine hygiene products that aren't bleached and that are all, cotton.
  
• Other feminine hygiene products (pads/napkins) contain dioxin as well, but they are not nearly as dangerous since they are not in direct contact with the vagina.
  
• The pads/napkins need to stop being bleached, but, obviously, tampons are the most dangerous.

DO INFORM YOUR SISTERS/MOTHERS/AUNTIES/FRIENDS/LOVED ONES ABOUT THIS. MAIL ME FOR THE FULL EMAIL AND DETAILS.

I nearly killed a patient.
I dont know how many times I must say this but it's true.
Now I'm like afraid to do Para.

case:
This patient was on many drips and undergoing blood transfusion if Im not wrong.
I was taking the routine paras (pulse, respiration, blood pressure, SPO2) and this patient happened to be just admitted to our ward.
After which I noted his BP was 77/51.
Which was pretty low, this I admit.
Normal range is between 90-140 for systolic, 60-80 for diastolic.
The previous measurement of BP was 88/60 if Im not wrong.
I got warned by the Staff nurse, oh well, guess they might demerit my points.


TODAY.

I woke up at 6.30am cos my parents woke up late.
So when I reached the ward, it was 7.05.
Totally dampen my mood.
Thank God my wardmates were with me.
Didn't take parameters for the whole day and yet time still pass so quickly.
As it was the morning shift =)
Yay!
Im complete tube feeding, para, assisted bathing, transfering patient out of bed, commode, urinal ........
Gonna continue on my Bed bath tomorrow.
Presentation is tomorrow.
Ours is due on the 2nd week as our in charge would be on leave.
Therefore we got one week lesser. ZzZZZZZ
Im now at peninsula LAN shop.
Will be going home soon! :D

I really enjoying going for attachments.
I was thinking of bonding with CGH, however,
Im just afraid I can't make it accademically.
Tsk!!! =(
There are a few smart alecs in ward 44.


Okay, back to the topic.
Tonned out since Saturday, all the way to Sunday evening.
Had a little drink, 7-up glen's vodka thing.
Didn't really got drunk.
But this time Eric was there.
Realised that everyone get's a little higher when he's here. Hahahhaha.
Before that we went to Bf's uncle's photography shop @ Adelphi.
Zijie, Eric & I went thr with bf and Gab went to SGH to see his sister.
Take it easy friend, she will get well soon, and look at the brighter side kay? :)
Cos the diagnosis is not even confirmed yet, therefore there's still a glimmer of hope!

I ate oreo for dinner cos I didn't like the canteen food there, and I found it kinda expensive.
Chickenrice -> $3
Noodles -> $3

I prefer CGH canteen =X
Anyway, after that we were slacking at the MRT station.
I managed to talk my Mom round to allow me to ton out.
So we took a train down to Lavender, wanted to play pool,
near the Concourse. But think it had already been demolished or something.
Then we took a bus ride all the way to Gab's house, which was at SengKang.
Zj, Eric, Bf were watching soccer, and during half time, Gab and me went down to get food and drinkssssssssssss!
We bought McSpicy Meal upsize, McChicken, McChicken Meal upsize, Glen's Vodka, 2 1.5l 7ups, Next Chill.
Shiok, I shared my meal with bf cos I can't finish and I wanna drink later on.
Don't wanna throw up...
And be like the last time, almost fell downstairs. =x
We drank and slacked till 5.30am, then we all got tired and slept.
Eric & Bf almost kissed lor! hahahahha
We only drank 1/2 a bottle of vodka. =(
Slacked in Gab's room, took turns to play PS2, and then slacked around in the room.
Gosh, Gab's room aircon is DAMNNNNN COLDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!
Went home at around 4plus, left home at 5plus to meet a buyer.
Got my hair essentials for attachment.
Got what I needed.
I spent alot of money lor. Bloody hell.
Still needa claim form my parents XD
Okay Im going down to watch Rule No.1.
I rented it from MJ!
=D

Oh god, day one was bad. Cos most of us were lost.
I was helping around some of the staff nurses.
But me and my oh-so-'i lead em all'-partner are some smart alecs.
We're supossed to do BP using the manual BP set.
But we went to use the electronic one as it takes SPO2, pulse & BP all at the same time.
Then when it was my turn to take the BP for one of the patients, the screen was filled with dashes.
So I panicked, and asked tell my partner, ohmygod!!! maching spoil leh, how ah?! I haven even take then spoil!!!
Then one of the training nurse from another class came to me and told me that I forget to clip on the clip to the finger.
I was like, oh ya hor!
I laughed to myself all the way. My partner doesn't really think Im funny.
But she's quite smart in her studies. She got 2 A's.
Sharri from another group got a overall grading of 3.6 I think.
GENIUS!
Mine is 1.5 or something.
But I managed to pass all with black & white, C's & D's.
I'm enjoying attachment.
Just that I realise that I've got too many things to cover in 2 weeks.
& I don't think it's fair that we only get 2 weeks for our mini presentation, where other students from different wards get 3 weeks, just cos our in charge is busy. And we gotta cramp everything to 2weeks, instead of 3.
Really makes a big difference kay?
Then what would we be doing for the last week man.
I LOVE MORNING SHIFTS!
Time really really flies =DDDD

Anyway, I keep thinking of playing pool. I really wanna brush up on it! =(
Anyone just let me tag along =(

Afternoon shift tomorrow, that's why you see me here tonight! :)
BYE! SLEEEEP!!!

Woah today was the first day of attachment.
I got pointed out for

• using colored rubberband to bun up my hair
• Multiple earrings
• Fringe

Gimme a break lah T_T

I must pin my whole fringe leh. I thought I could get thru it.

But as the lecturer says, "we even need eyes at the back!!!"

TSK!

I cut my ear sticks so that it can maintain my upper earhole and tragus piercing.

Will pin up my hair..... omfg.

Changed out of my uniform =) shiok, my feet can BREATHEEEEEEEEE!

Bf accompanied me to by my new nursing watch (cos I lost mine for fuck reasons i dont know)

Went around looking for basic maryjane's.

Bloodyhell, dont have those )(#)#(*%$(^ shoe shops along TM & Century Square lor.

Zj, Gab (geng MC from NS), Eric joined us for dinner but they ate already.

I ATE PEPPER LUNCH! =D

I like to add extra pepper to add, mix the honey brown sauce and abit of garlic sauce.

Shiokkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk lor!

Went down to Bedok after that.

OMFG, I really laughed like mad!!!!

My bf was drinking bubbletea. Then after that we were playing with the pearl.

He stuck a pearl to the chair of the person sitting infront of him.

So when the guy leaned back, the fucking pearl got stuck to his shirt.

Thank God he's wearing black lor. Damn funny!
Oh no, there's a big bruise on my thigh cos of yesterday, when I didn't notice the barrier while crossing the road. Tsk!

Im kinda anxious but looking forward for the attachment.

All the luck to me! Im wakin up at 5!!!

Results of our theory exams would be out tomorrow too! =(

BLOGGED OFFLINE ON THE 12th Sept

Im sorry I havent been updating my blog.
Going out at 9plus in the morning and reaching home at 11 for the past couple of days.
It's really amazing the way I changed so much, within a short period of time.
Been visiting Bf's house for like, the past entire WEEK.

YES IM NOT KIDDING WADSOEVER.

Going over and slack with his sister, Amelia & sometimes her bf.
I like their family.
It’s like, they really enjoy themselves when they go out.
Even at home, you can practically see the bond among them.
Whereas in my family, everything just seems very vague.
Or should I say surface.
Money can’t buy happiness.

I feel really happy to go out with my family. But at times, I really wonder why it has to depend on my father’s mood to run the show.
Yes, of course we know he’s the breadwinner, but not the only one, in the house.
However, although my mom is the one who’s making everyone stick together, it’s just like, you can see the amount of effort put in by both of them.
I don’t know, maybe Im just oversensitive.
From what had happened on the seventh of September, it really taught me a lesson.
Telling the truth is really important. Not only affects the relationship of you and ur bf/gf, it also frustrates the people that you lie to.
Im referring to this scenario...
When I go out/hang out till late nights, I would tell my mom Im with my girlfriends and will be coming home soon. When I know Im with my bf and friends, still slacking out.
Perhaps this was caused by what happened quite long ago.
When I went out with my bf, Mom kept calling and when I told her the truth, where was I/what I was doing, she told me to go home ridiculously go home.
Which is like, bullshit, I just fuckin went out and you’re asking me to go home just cos I tell you im with my bf.
Maybe it’s a gender issue?
Or mentality?
After what happened on the 7th of sept, it changed them. I cross my fingers that it’s for good.
Dad still haven’t talked to me till date. Hah.
It’s been 5 days okay!?!?!
Sometimes I really think I put in my best to go out with them whenever they offer us to go out and stuffs. However, when we go out, let’s say if my dad is in a bad mood, me and my sis would feel like:

“Eh, can we just have a proper family dinner. Instead of you scolding us. Just cos you’ve got stress from your work.”

The younger ones would automatically shutup lah, they don’t know a thing for god’s sake.
It sometimes really put me off.
Like wtf, great, DAD U FUCKIN SPOILED A SUPPOSED-TO-BE-SO-HAPPY OCCASION.
It didn’t happened once or twice, but many many times.
)_()_(%_(%_($^_%&()^
Okay, now that I start telling my parents the truth, it really feels better. Really gotta thank junhao for all this, but the price I have to pay for me to realise my mistake of telling lies, was hefty, something that I swear, will never ever forget.
Attachments coming soon, and Im so fuckin excited.
But Im gonna hate the first day for sure, cos it’s orientation. And I fuckin hate long talks and stuffs.
I would fall asleep.
I miss my gay friends, I miss 0809. Terribly miss all of them.
Glad to be able to see them soon at CGH for those working there. Eg: Weizhi & Weiling.
Will get a day to go down to see HuiYuan.
It’s weird, I thought we won’t be this close. I don’t know bout the rest of them, but this is just how I feel.
We don’t really talk much into really personal stuffs. Like those secondary school besties. Probably cos everyone’s grown out of telling stupid things? Fuck, I donnnnnnno!
I heard my cousin gained 10kg after going to Canada. I so feel like going to Canada.
It’s been long since I’ve gone overseas. Ever since I started having bfs, I find it hard to go overseas.
I really love this Lim Jun Hao Ambrose. He’s different. Someone whom I think is worthy of my love, and appreciative as well. I’ve told my really really fucked up pass to him, his reaction to what had happened shocked me. No matter what happens, I just want him to see him with a smile on his face. Im willing to cry just to see it. You’re different my dear, and I really love you! Though you won’t see this (:

Okay Im gonna bathe and go to bed. Im down with flu, cough and sorethroat(Cos I ate too much cookies that I baked =( ).

Goodnight my lovely people, Y.
I’ve learnt that hating someone for me is really temporal.
I don’t hate people for long, and I tend to forgive, and forget.

Yes Im down with sore eyes/eye infection again.
Im going to the poly clinic this time.
Just to check it out if everything is okay for me.
Sorry I'd been really busy, dealing with 20+ hoodies.
The supplier is like, screwed up or smth.
Everything is not available, or even if it is, it would be of different color.
This made it hard for us as we've got to contact the buyers and stuffs.
Went to Plaza Sing, and Shan treat me Fish Manhattan.
Cos she's got her bank card.
Im feeling sick, so i dont really know whether I would be joining the friday gang later on.
Im down with the running nose too! >=( Just my luck.
My eyes has been red for the past 3days.
I bought great inventions that I'd been looking for at Daiso!
Yay!
