First day

First day....... every woman will experience it once a month. Today I was extremely lethargic associated with body ache. I thought work would be peaceful but things went haywire after we took in a young patient. The patient was 27 years old, she looked sick, breathless and jaundiced. The CVP insertion was uneventful, the line was in within 10mins. The action started after the line was stitched down. The patient suddenly went into PEA and we started active resuscitation, that was about 1545hrs. I didnt do much CPR (no energy how to do woh!), I left it to the doctors while I assisted in giving all the drugs. Failed intubation a couple of times, it seems really difficult. We called upon anesthetist for help and he himself agreed it was a difficult one. Too bad the patient didnt respond to any of our treatment. She was all the while in asystole, PEA, or VT/VF..... Felt sorry for her but what to do, that's life........ She was pronounced at about 5plus.
We were barely settled and another phone call came, a patient was for pacing *SIEN*.... that was during our break time, Wati and I went for short break to swallow our food but Kavi didnt get to go. Tired sia..... after the pacing, we sent out 2 overflow patients back to their respective ICU. Finally we sat down at 2045hrs and its time to prepare to go home. CANT WAIT TO GO MAN!
Good night everyone, its bed time!!!

My two little darling...

The fight

Last night, Anna said she was working so asked me to go drinkerz, I went down for a drink after dinner. Shortly William came, the 2 of us and Kevin played cards together whoever picked the smallest card will have to drink half a glass of martell. I opened a bottle of martell and the 3 of us finished it within 10mins!!! William opened another bottle and we finished more than half of it within 15mins. 3 of us "almost gone" at around 11plus heee but I didnt get to drink as much as them so I was still all right. To make myself sober I drank a lot of green tea, sang a couple of songs, chat and took pictures with the regulars...
Seen one of the regular a couple of times but only acquaintance. Last night as usual I met her and we started talking, she seems to be always troubled by BGR problems. There was once I saw her quarrelled with her bf, the guy threw glasses during the fight. Halfway through our conversation she started to tear (I supposed she was drunk as well), she hugged me and kept crying.... I dont know what to do because I dont really know her problem. I consoled her and told her to be strong (No man wont die lor!).... She teared continuously and I felt really sorry for her but I cant help her at all...
The bf suddenly appeared at 1am, they were talking to each other initially but started shouting shortly (AGAIN). Regulars tried to stop them but the guy doesnt want to stop and threw a couple of glasses again! The regulars tried to pull him out of the pub but when he was almost at the door, he dashed back to slap the gal and he turned really violent!
I really HATE THIS KIND OF MAN! If I were her I would have dump him long ago!!!!!!! ARRRGGGGHHHHHH I was so tempted to get hold of the tall stool to throw at him! *SPIT*!!!!!!

Morning before my rest day

This morning boss was in good mood ;) and she was most of the time not around coz she went meeting heeeeeeeee we had 4 patients and 1 died at 1115hrs. I had a smooth morning with Ivy, Jasmine and Alice, we passed over 3 patients to the afternoon staff.

I was in the storeroom copying some stuff while Jasmine was packing the storeroom. I told her I shall take some pictures of us working hahahahaha so we posed.... (pretended that we were working VERY hard, very serious!)

...and posed again... Jasmine said must capture her carrying the box... very difficult to take leh!

Alice and me disturbed Sister Ong while she was doing the roster...

Breakfast

For the past years, my parents used to wake up every morning at 5am to open the stall. My dad would come home around 11plus while my mum would stay to tend the stall. I seldom see my mother because she went out early and came back late. She usually eat out unless me or my dad is in the mood to cook.
Recently we sold the stall and both my parents are retired. I like it because I feel I am very well taken care of heeeeee no need to cook, no need to wash dishes... (but anyway all along I dont do anything at home except cooking hahaha)
This morning I woke up at 9am because I smelt something very nice. My mum cooked congee. My mum is a very good cook because she ever been for cooking class. She used to learn from the chef from red star!!!! Hence the congee I had this morning, tasted exactly like the one in red star! I had a very big bowl of it with some dim sum.
I never have breakfast for such a long time and I feel very fortunate to have someone prepare food for me.......... the feeling is very good ;)
During my primary school days, my diary actually record the dishes that I had every night. I remember as well everyday on the way home I always wondered what my mum prepared for us for dinner. Since young I love to eat uh heeeeeee
UHhmm I wonder what would mum prepare for dinner tomorrow?????? HEEEEEeeeeee

Why don't I have a boyfriend?

You Don't Have a Boyfriend Because You are Too Picky

You have no problem attracting guys - and even dating a little It's just around second or third date time where you start to see faults If a guy isn't near perfect, you're not into him. It's good to have standards - but yours rule almost everyone out.

Why Don't You Have a Boyfriend?

Is it??? Sigh.......

Long day...

Woke up early in the morning at 0645hrs to drive to work in order to avoid the ERP. The rain started to pour when I was on the CTE and certainly the CTE was congested. Fortunately throughout the journey, my favourite "Muttons in the morning" were there to entertain me heeeeeee I thought this one was pretty funny...

J: Hey tell you 3 "facts" but only 2 are real ones, you guess which are the real ones!
V: Okie
J: First one uh, u know uh the white part of our finger nails uh has got no name?
V: WHAT?
J: Yeah, you know the white crescent shape part, there is no name for that thing u know
V: Really meh????....Uhmmm
J: Ok second one is ~ Straw uh, was invented by the Germans. It was used to suck the beer during the process of brewing because if they are to pour out the brewed beer it will affect the end product so instead they invented this thing called "straw" to suck!
V: Is it?????
J: YEah! Yeah! The last one is ~ you know if a barbie doll is a real person, her figure would be 39,23,33!
V: SERIOUS OR NOT?
J: So you tell me which one is not the real "fact"?
V:....... UHMMMMMMM ........
J: Well, ok lah ok lah tell you lah! The fact is everything has got a name right hence the white crescent shape part of the nail should also have a name!!!!!
V: Uh then what do you call that???
J: Its known as the "LUNULA"! Lunula, lunula... what a nice name!
V: HEy I learnt a new word, next time I will tell people I have lunula on my nails!!! This is the lunula... lunula... lunula
J: Ok ok enough! Then straws uh indeed were invented by the Germans!!!
V: WOOooooo
J: Lastly the figure of barbie doll in real person is really 39,23,33!!!
V: No wonder lah
J: No wonder what?
V: NO WONDER KEN IS ALWAYS SMILING!!!!!
J&V: AHHHAAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Heeee I listened to them live lah so its rather funny and entertaining, I enjoy tuning in to listen to their silly conversation every morning heeeeee

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

8am reached work place but instead of working in my ICU, I helped out at the side station. I did very mininal changes because I spent a lot of time looking for forms. I am not very familiar with the layout hence I was very slow lor! Boss appeared right after I finished the first patient's changes and ordered me to audit the IMRs. I found only very very minor mistakes made so left "ticks" on the sheet of report. Boss then said "SO PERFECT MEH??????????!!!!!!!" Uhmm ok lor, I "digged" for mistakes lor....... In the end I wrote a very lame one hahahaha ok not to mention here..... After the audit, I went for my break then came back to help to take blood for the patients.
At 1230hrs I left to re-cert my BCLS. Very tired lor, I only practised once then I gave up as I thought of saving the energy for the practical exam. The theory and practical exam took about 3 hours..... YAWN!


Dinner was at Cafe Brio's! The oysters were extremely fresh today, I took 12 of it! CRAZY hor... there were thai duck rice noodles and it tasted like beef noodles ~ delicious! There were satay, carrot cake (nice!), po piah, the usual sashimi, cold dishes like jelly fish, smoked beef and lamb, tom yum soup and tom yum stirred fried seafood, stirred fried fish maw with mushrooms, roast beef, lamb, baked salmon...... the oysters were the best! Oh and my favourite tea, I had 4 cups. Cost only $40 for 2 person ;) so worth it!

Yesterday

After work went home to nap then woke up at 6plus to meet Nathan, Alvin and Sitilok for dinner at Vivo City. Nathan and I bought them dinner in one of the Japanese restaurant. It serves buffet dinner, most of the dishes are above average.
After dinner we shopped for a while then Sitilok and myself went over to St James power house to meet the "drinkerz gang". The place is nice but initially it played trance music which I dont favour. Towards midnight the music gets nicer and the place was very crowded. I have no chance to check out dragonfly because of the rain and the long queue! Will definately go there again ;)

Will my true love find me??? ;)

Your True Love Will Find You Eventually

You definitely put yourself out there a little - but you could be doing more. If you're truly looking for love, try doing more things and meeting more people. You don't have to actively look for love, you just need to stay active. Be out there a little more, and the right person will find you!

Will Your True Love Find You?

Today

Was on afternoon shift with Nathan, Jasmine and Ivy. After I took my report and settled my patient, I went in to help Nathan and Ivy to pack the store room. Store room was dusty and lots of things are like "no longer in use" but we dont dare to throw them away because "no green light" to throw.
Halfway through the packing, we received our pay revised letter, the amount is "better than nothing" heeee I was more motivated to work then!!!!!!
I admitted one patient in the afternoon and discharged her in the evening! *ROLLED EYES* While I went in to off her plug, she asked about my working experience, how old am I and whether I am married. I told her I am not married then her next question was
"Oh what are you waiting for? What type of man are you looking for???"
I dont know, someone I love and loves me, someone that I think he is my type lor hahaha.....
Next question was "Must have someone with you, friends cannot be with you forever"
Friends cannot be with me forever but man can meh???????? Unless you can find a very faithful man lor but again, how do you know whether he is faithful or not????? Men that are very faithful but very boring ~ I dont like.... Men that are very rich but no time for me ~ I also dont like.... So what I like? I really cannot answer...
Well, I told her probably I am fussy and it is not time yet, I am very comfortable with my life now heeeeeeeee I am still waiting for my Mr Right lor ;)

BLOATED!

Met Jacky in the afternoon to Guan Ying temple and the place where I prayed for "luck". He went back again because tomorrow he is leaving to Dubai so he thought its better to pray again before he leave.

We went to Golden mile after we prayed and had some snacks there. We tried dishes that we have never order before which was steam otar, BBQ pork and fried frog legs ~ WAHHHHhh very nice leh!!!!!!!!!!! I didnt know it taste so good! Usually I will order the same dishes like fried prawn cakes, beef noodles, tang hoon salad because those are the very nice dishes that I like very much.... I didnt know the other dishes are SOOOOoooo nice as well!

We actually wanted to go to the City plaza for dinner at Arnold's fried chicken restaurant. I heard that it is nice so we wanted to give it a try but before that we ate the Thai food since we were in Golden mile. After the "thai snacks", we went to the City plaza to shop for a while (to digest) and we went Arnold to eat again. The fried chicken is really not bad and the feeling was like the "olden KFC style"! A set with the solid plastic plate, coleslaw, bun, fries....... we ordered too many pieces and got ourselves very bloated after that!
After dinner was drinking session again! Called upon Caroline and Derek to join us at drinkerz. 3 jugs of beer but all from Kevin! Thanks boss! ;)
Very very very bloated now man! Everytime at this moment I will tell myself the next time I should banned myself from eating and drinking so much but I never seems to learn my lesson...Heeeee life is short mah, we should enjoy to the fullest am I right??????????!!

Learning and Development Journey (COURSE)

Went for this course today from 9am to 5pm... Well, it was the same routine ~ Listened... switched off...listened again...tea break...listened...dozing...participation... LUNCH BREAK!... Dozed off again...participation...switched off...tea break...totally switched off........ waiting for 5pm...
My training today was together with a lot of my ward colleagues ~ Ivy, Quek, Winnie, Nelita, Jethro, Wang Zheng and some other familiar faces from other wards. The main concern was whether we have enough time to shop after we take our lunch heeeeee we spent only 15mins for lunch then we went shopping. I bought quite a number of stuff heeeee very satisfied! Winnie was not sleeping but avoiding my camera. She was so afraid that I will blog that she was asleep in the class heeeee
Dinner was with Sitilok at one of the Japanese restaurant in Novena square. Quite nice and is cheap. After dinner was 2 jugs of beer at drinkerz............ GOOD! ;)

Expo

Went to the Metro sale in Expo with Cecilia and family. Cute little baby Gen knows how to say "E-L--M--O" and "Umm--bre-lla" heee but she still dont know how to call me "yi yi" ;)

"Yeah, mummy and daddy brought me out to play"


"YUMMY, my favourite honey stars! Then I showed YiYi how I pretend to cry! Aaahhhhh"


Uhmmm this is the real cry!


"Yiyi took a lot of pictures of me already!"

In JB yesterday

Rested for few hours sleep after my night shift then went in to JB with Jacky at 12noon. He wanted to get his car fix and hand it over to his sister before he leave to Dubai.

The condition of the car was quite bad after an accident last year. The steering wheel needs to be change, the seat belts got to be fix, the air bag needs a replacement... We left the car at the workshop and went to have our lunch. Lunch was kway chap and their kway chap is actually kway tiao, quite nice...

After lunch we went holiday plaza and bought quite a lot of things then after an hour of shopping, its time to snack. Fried chicken set from McDonalds, yummy!

We went back to the workshop at 5plus but the car was not ready so we waited in the "customers' room" (that's what they call the room heeee)... Jacky told me he wanted to dye his hair before he goes over to Dubai but I thought it is already VERY BLOND!

While waiting, he watched TV program and me, as usual, took pictures!

He fell asleep while I was still awake taking pictures heeeee

During the accident, the air bag was activated hence the horn was gone as well. The whole steering wheel was replaced.

Finally the car was ready at 6plus. We went Sri Tebrau for dinner... Potato leaves, butter crayfish, squid and stingray, its the usual dishes because he said he probably will not be able to taste it in Debai! After dinner was shopping at city square and KARAOKE!

Ate again... the spread was good but I took only vegetables, soup and some desserts because we were too FULL!

The room is big and the sound system is very good!

Tired of singing after 4 hours!

Jam at Sg custom at 0145hrs!!!!!!!!!!! ARGGGhhhhh
