today is my 3rd day at IMH.
i could still remember how afraid i was when my 1st contact with the patients of IMH.
u could ask syimah and MQ.
i was literally struck with anxiety jus by standing at the door of the dorms.

oh yah. the CI sucks to the core. she is one naggy and long-winded woman sia.
all of us cant stand the sight of her. at the end of the day, all of us are tired.
not cos of the 8 hrs of working, but bcos of her constantly irritating and naggy lectures.
i hope we could tahan her til the end of this attachment.

anyhows, im getting used to the routine of the ward n the patients.
we are constantly watching our backs thats for sure.
most of our patients are suffering from schizophernia and bipolar disorder.

we have to submit our case study by tuesday.
urghh.
im considering taking psychiatric nursing. hmmph.

2007-12-26T22:26:00.000+08:00

sometimes i don need an answer for everything.
i don even need a solution for everything
all i expect or want is for u to at least give a thought about it.

use ur brain muscle to come up with something.
anything. anywhere. whatever.
all i can think is that u don even care or even want to bother about where we could go.

maybe ure jus tired from working all week
n the only time for u to rest is spending time with me.
i seriously understand that.

that doesnt mean u jus culdnt care less about where we could do together.
im tired of making the plans and tired of suggesting places tt in the end, u don agree.
its seriously tiring.

it saddens me tht u don care anymore.
maybe im wrong about this.
i wish things were different.

u don seem to know how to make it special anymore.
is my expectations high? i doubt so.

who would have guess tt this handsome guy would win ASIAN IDOL? no one believe and everyone was in shock. honestly, im still in shock from ystd's result show. i would have thought tht philipine idol, mau marcelo or indonesian idol, mike mohede or malaysian idol, jaclyn idol to win the ASIAN IDOL. but as soon as they announced hady's name, i was dumbfounded and i was on my feet.

i think tt hady has the style and the personality. but in terms of voice against the other idols, hady has the weakest vocal. honestly, philipine idol shld have won. no offence to those who support hady. i also love hady mirza jus that i think his vocal isnt strong enuff to win ASIAN IDOL. but whatever it is, im happy tt hady has make singapore proud!

CONGRATS HADY! =)

2007-12-16T15:00:00.000+08:00

2007-12-14T22:17:00.000+08:00

the class had gift exchange after bio lect on thurs. as it was our 1st time, we didnt know what to do at first. eventually everyone gathered all the prezzies together(with names on it, of course) and seri began calling each name on the prezzies. it was so fun and everyone started opening the gifts. i guess it aint anonymous anymore as everyone started asking who gave them their prezzies. i got prezzie from belinda and i absolutely love her gift. thanks belinda! as usual, we cam-whore. oh yes. felicia chin came to our school on thurs. n angie MQ sabina belinda and clarabelle took a pic with felicia chin!! i also want. i already watched chipmunks and im among the 1st few! wheeee! the movie is a MUST WATCH! so funny and adorable chipmunks! =)

i have no idea what syam is trying to do. haha. things havent been good for me and him. i feel sad tt he doesnt try to understand me. no matter how much i explain, he still think im wrong. am i really wrong? til now, he hasnt called nor msg. my heart is jus like the monsoon rain.

2007-12-12T20:32:00.000+08:00

holidays are around the corner.
my spirits dampened by the test today.
yes, i failed. i passed section A but failed section B. overall, still failed.
it wasnt a good feeling.
i guess the effort i put in wasnt good enuff.
BUT i don want to to give. so long as i have a chance, i will strive hard.

i don believe in forever.
until recently, i don wan to put high hopes on us.
who doesnt want thier relationship to go all the way? of course i want that.
too much things have happened recently.
all i can tell myself is...
insya'allah we will build a life together. amin =)

2007-11-18T23:07:00.000+08:00

last friday's MCG concert at theatre of the arts in NYP was blast. the trouble of getting the tickets from hasli was definitely worth while. although there was some technical problems like the music was super loud rather than the person singing but it was a good show at the end. sharifah n i thought tt the tarian n acting was quite a mess at the beginning. as the show got along, we enjoyed it alot. we got the best seats in the auditorium. too bad i didnt take much pictures. well, both of us don mind going again. haha!

moving on. i still went ahead with the volunteer of taking care of fostering kids at grassroot club on sat morning. seri n hasyimah couldnt make it at the last min. i met the the club members at grassroot n angie ask me to join the baby group. soon, the kids started pouring in. at first, it was pretty wierd. but as naturally i am with kids, i got comfortable. den i shifted frm baby group to junior group. did some colouring, have lunch n best part was playing the playground with the kids. hahaha! it was tiring but worth while.

i watched devil wears prada already. haha. its never too late to catch the last season's movie on HBO. it was quite good. so i spent my sat nite watching HBO instead of studying. i had a major quarrel with bf. nothing to worry about. jus some things im dealing with. don wish to talk about it. hmm.

mum is planning to go KL in mid january. too bad i cant make it due to attachments n exams. bro and i will be home alone! woohoo!

theory paper n practical test is coming upp sooon! arrrggh!

i wanna watch movies! anyone care to accompany me? =)

2007-11-11T21:42:00.000+08:00

u often hear things like..
"the thought that counts..."
no one actually understood the meaning of it..

for me, i saw it for myself today..
im grateful enuff for the little things u shower me with..
its not the things u do that matters..
its the meaning behind doing it tt counts...

oh yah.
i bought a new watch, dress n trousers at johor. woohoo.
FYI i used my own money. dad insisted me to use my own money since i have money to spend.
oh wells. its worth it. =)

2007-11-09T19:30:00.000+08:00

can u believe this?
my mum dragged me from bed at 7 AM jus to renew my passport.
i told her i wanted to follow to johor tmr n she forgot she havent renew my passport.
by 9.30 am, we were at ICA.
while waiting, mum n i made our way to orchard cos she wanted to buy some stuff at taka.
despite my sleepy eyes n tiring legs, i managed to go to school to have a 2 HOUR lecture.
after which, i went home with sharifah.

2007-11-08T23:20:00.000+08:00

my dad side has more male cousins than female cousins.

2007-11-04T23:25:00.000+08:00

why do u have to hurt me with ur words?
most of the things tt come out frm ur mouth is poison.
it stings me like a bee.
n breaks my heart into pieces.

do u even care abt me anymore like u use to before?
im heavily broken. becos of u.
im drowning in ur love n im screaming for some air.

u said tt i shldnt depend on my parents anymore n tt im the one who knows abt myself more than other people.
i still have parents tt still care abt my well-being.
why should i keep them in the dark abt my life?
i cant pretend tt they don exist in my life.
they are still the ppl who brought me up all this years.

im drifting away frm u.
n at this point, ure nowhere to be found.
i feel like im talking to another person.
he whom i use to know n love is gone.

many thoughts run thru my mind.
n to be honest, i feel like ending my life.
im losing grip of my life.
i feel im a victim of suicidal thoughts.

dammit. this sucks.

2007-11-04T19:05:00.000+08:00

ooops ive not been updating my blog. so busy.
well, i finally went to the check up at NUH last friday.
n the doctor informed me tt i have to start reducing my wt n eating healthy food.
probably the cause of this is my weight increment over the years.
when i looked at the computer screen, she diagnose me as "amenorrhea".
haha it felt different. suddenly i have this disease in me. hahaha.
she gave me pills to eat for abt 10 days n see the effect of it.
well, the nurse did a bld test for me n for my nxt appt, i have to go for gynae scan.
n guess how much the consultation cost? 85 DOLLARS! my mum n i was shocked lah.

instead of returning to school, i spent time with bf.
i know tt we are going thru a rough patch in our lives.
n its not easy for me to understand.
im sorry. i didnt mean to question the time uve spent with me.

ystd, i went visitng with my sec sch mates. i didnt want to go at first.
but i thought its been some time since i met them. kinda miss them though.
so i joined them. it was great seeing them again.
at one point of time, i had the frequent n urgent trips to the toilet.
not only tt, i experience a burning sensation at the very last drop when i urinate.
trust me. i felt like screaming in the toilet when i had the sensation.
even today i experience the same thing. i told my mum n she's going to bring me to doctor tmr.

most likely im hvg lower UTI.
only tmr i would know. hopefully i'll be alright.

2007-10-30T21:45:00.000+08:00

happy 19th bday NURUL JANNAH!

i have been living on this earth for 19 years. how time flies yah. im no longer a girl who jus wants to explore the world n looking for identity. im no longer the girl who gets petty over small things. ive grown more mature n grown wiser. im jus a girl but not yet a woman. at this age, i have to start planning my nxt step for my future n start making my dreams come true. i can no longer take my time to decide where i want to go in life. i have to bear responsibility for my actions. i have at least 1 more yr left for me to enjoy my teenage-hood. once ive turn 20, the responsibility gets heavier.

well today the class sang me a bday song with ms dorothy at tutorial room. it was pretty embarrassing cos at such a grown age, the class had to sing bday infront of lecturer. thank u nr0610. during the 2 hr break, there was another surprise installed for me. i didnt have ANY clue tt the belo's gona give me a bday surprise. min came to nyp jus to celebrate my bday! im soo touched! thank u belo's for the wonderful surprise. belo's really know how to surprise me n u shld have seen my reaction when i saw min. well, uve been there for me alot n i appreciate it loads. =)

once again, thank you to those who took the effort to sms/comment at friendster bday wishes n to my family who took the liberty to buy me a bday cake n plan for the bday lunch n gifts.

2007-10-26T11:17:00.000+08:00

25 oct 07 - we left school at 5 pm sharp n headed straight towards my house. at first, they wanted to change at school. den when they realise tt changing at my hse is more comfortable, we all headed to my hse. upon reaching, some went to toilet to change while other jus change inside my room. we got dressed quickly n went to living hall to eat. within 1/2 hr, min reached my hse n we got all excited. it was SO nice meeting her again, cheerful n lively. i became the time keeper n we left my hse ard 7.15. to cut the story short, 2nd hse - min's house, 3rd hse - sharifah's hse, 4th hse - seri's hse n last hse - hidayah's hse. by the time i reached home, its was half past midnight. hehehe. i enjoyed going visiting with the girls alot. we screamed, laughed, yelled n got extremely crazy in the car. all in the name of FUN.

26 oct 07 - as for school, today is e-learning day. so there is no school today. thats why we chose to go visiting ystd because today is a holiday. i didnt get to sleep til 12 noon though. cos at 7.30 am, i left the house to go check up at clementi polyclinic with my mum n grandad. my mum got concerned abt my periods. after the check up, the doctor referred me to NUH for further investigation. boy, i got kinda worried. so my nxt appt is nxt friday. its in the morning so i guess i got to skip some lessons. hopefully its nothing serious lah. *crossing fingers*

im too lazy to post all the pics. hehehe. my weekend is gona quite pack. hmmph.

2007-10-21T21:27:00.000+08:00

i jus came back from raya visiting. trust me. this year raya visiting is not so happening as previous years. i felt tt the spirit of celebrating such a joyous occasion is not there. instead everyone seemed like an obligation to visit other ppl houses. everyone got tired damn easily. oh wells, the money aint good as well. its getting lesser each year n surprising, alot of my relative thought im already WORKING so they didnt give me any hong bao. how sad. but lets take it positively. at least sillahturahim antara sedara tak putus. that counts.

2nd week of school yet again. im so not looking forward to go to school. life seem so mundane at school. there isnt any fun left. i think i dragged going clinicals most. i don know why but it jus seems that way. oh boy. some people jus never change. only think about themselves n not for others. they make the decisions for themselves without asking others for opinions. such insensitive people. thats jus life lah.

bf is gona be weeking til sat. arrrggggggghhhhh!

2007-10-18T20:34:00.000+08:00

people say that blood is thicker than water. this gals are the most important part of my life n they have been there every step of the way. they make growing up exciting n fun. we laugh together, cry together and get pissed together. hahaha. although we meet less often now, it doesnt break the closeness that we have since young. i love u gals.

aniways, i met up with min after school at jurong east. gosh. it was so nice to meet her again. she looked super good n cheerful as ever. we talked n caught up with each other. it reminded me of the times we use to lepak together after school or the times we spend at mac studying. stay happy n cheeful okay babe!

school is okay. i missed boyfriend. hmmmmph.

2007-10-15T21:49:00.000+08:00

back to school once again. everything has changed. somehow, school is less chaotic than before. everyone felt the absence of her. especially seri hid and myself. we have been talking abt her eversince we heard abt the news. babe, whatever happens, we will still be ur friends n support u all the way. we pray tt u'll be successful in whatever u do n don give up okay dearest!

oh yah, my fren's dad jus passed away around 6 pm today. innalillahiwainnahirajiuun. may he rest in peace. amin.

1st day raya is not so happening as i thought. mainly cos my uncle (mom side) had to leave for Texas on 2nd day of raya n all of us jus lepak at his house. i also went to my uncle's place (dad side). there were unxpected visitors n it was shocking to see them after disappearing for donkey years. they were nt actually frenly or pleasant. they talk among themselves n left without telling. i didnt know such people existed. oh yah, it was my little niece 1 year old birthday. her parents bought for her 'barney' cake n all of us sang for her a birthday song. i caught up with my abg sdara n my other cousins. after which, we left n my family slept at my uncle's place (mom side) n the nxt morning, my parents plus my aunt sent him off. my cousin, my brother n myself slept thru the morning. hehe.

at 11 pm, all of us got ready to go visiting. we left the house n went to pasir ris (my grand aunt place). every year she would cook for us a feast like lamb chops, roasted chicken wings etc. we ate as though we nvr ate before. hehe. my cousin tt study at malaysia has come back to spore n she is waiting for the final year results. after diploma, she plans to continue to take degree in syariah. congrats cousin! im proud of you. aniwae, we went to 7 houses altogether. it was tiring so after the last hse, we went home. by the time i reached home, i was damn tired. hehehe.

there are pictures but im too lazy to post them up now. will do soon okay. =)

finally attachments are O-V-E-R. i can sleep all day long. yahoooooo!

i bought a simple card for the ward staff n sharifah had this wonderful idea. since its the raya season, she thought of giving kuih to the staff of ward 51. i like the idea n agreed to it. on friday morning, she forgotten to bring the kuih, ending up i was the only one who brought the kuih. but i guess its the thought tt counts. thanks to all the wonderful n friendly staff at ward 51, NUH. its been a pleasure working with all of you. =)

anihoos, my mum bought for me a purplish carpet so tt my room will look more stylish. hahaha. its nice as the colour matches my room walls. she also bought for me purplish bed sheets and pillow case. soo, this raya season, my room is TOTALLY purple! i like!

met up with kak ifah ystd. i bought a card n hp key chain for her. she liked it alot. we walked ard marina square to look for sandals. we break our fast at BK den continued searching for the perfect sandals for her. haha. in the end, she bought 2 sandals! after which, we went home. i had a migrane so i decided to take a cab at robinsons raffles city. to my horror, no cab came! i waited for more than 25 mins. every cab tt came was ON CALL. i was so pissed but i was patient. after 35 mins of waiting, one cab drived in. i hopped in n the cab sped away. i promised myself tt i won take a cab from raffles city anymore.

i feel so bloated now. so im jus gona rest now.

Tuesday.

i jus realise something yesterday while i was looking thru my log book. there is quite a number of skills tt ive not completed n its the more impt skills than the ones ive done. it got me worried for a moment. so i decided to write down as much skills ive not done on a piece of paper, hoping tt i could complete them by the end of this attachment. i don wanna go 3rd yr n not know how to do certain skills. its not a good sign.

aniwaes, ive not been updating my blog. here is a list of things ive been busy with :

1) attachment. durh. been feeling exhausted although i finish work at 3 pm. especially now its the fasting month. the tiredness is twice before fasting month.
2) i did IV therapy n STO for a patient. it was awesome. long time nvr do STO. btw, its staple removals n its A LONG dressing! my back was aching after i completed it. i also serve some meds.
3) i went iftar with the group n bf. lyd, iman, anip, hidayah, syam, aishah, myself, bf, wini and liza. we wanted to eat at arnolds but the reservations close at 5.30 n it was fully booked! we break out fast at at a nearby restaurant. the service was pretty slow but the food was good. after iftar, we walked around at bazaar geylang, joo chiat and tkc. hidayah bought her baju raya n wini collected her baju raya. bf's baju raya is not ready yet. boohoo.
4) ystd, my family went iftar at my uncle's place. we gather at least once in fasting month at my uncle's place to break fast together. it was nice to see tt the whole family reunites n catch up on thier lives during breaking fast. my brother bought muffins n vondants for us. whee! there was also air khatirah n eclaires. heheee. we did our tarawih with atok as the imam n chill out after tt. den we went home.

2007-09-18T22:27:00.000+08:00

Monday.
It was my 1st day at ward 51 at NUH and honestly, i was really enthusiastic partly cos i was working with min for the 1st time and it was yet another new environment. i was making more new friends and meeting new people. i met min and sharifah at jrg east den took the bus to NUH. the sister n the SSN orientate us around the ward. they emphasize a lot of things which i know CGH wouldnt be so strict about. i got nervous. well, after orientation, we were assigned to our cubicles and the SN assigned wasnt so friendly. she was so arrogant n shes prob dumb as well. [ she didnt even talk or ask me to do anything]. i did the usuals and i was quite blur lah. but i asked around lah so i guess it was alright.

Tuesday
I searched for my name tag n i couldnt find it. i was so frustrated so i jus pasted micopore tape and wrote my name. urgh. Today i wasnt so blur n there was a 3 year 1 students tt were having the same shift as us. we passed report n went to the cubicle and SN tt was assigned. one of the year 1 students was assgined to the same cubicle as me. so she jus followed me around. my SN was so nice and friendly tt she orientate us on the patients and showed us what to do. she even showed me how to change the drainage bottle. Even the AN was nice to us. i helped out the year 1 students in the parameters. the juniors were pretty friendly and they were willing to learn. it was a gd thing so we jus showed them what we know. i did the usuals and help out as much as possible. there was one patient who kept asking for milo. the thing is i heard he has been drinking milo all day n he kept asking for more. hahaha! crazy milo patient. i wanted to serve meds but didnt have chance to do it. the SN said maybe tmr i can have a chance. hmmph. i found out tt my name tag is at home n mum found it. hehehe. i got a nagging frm her. i break fast with min sharifah and philzah(junior). it was so chaotic n we had fun. at 9, we signed out n left.

i hope tmr will be a better day than today. hopefully.

2007-09-15T00:06:00.000+08:00

im too tired to blog abt the last day at obs ward. so i'll jus pass. the only thing i can say is that its a wonderful experience to be working at obs ward although there were some days tt wasnt so good. its very satisfying working with the babies as they are the most adorable and precious little people on this earth. its not easy being pregnant. this mothers need tons of emotional support and gd financial support. being a single young mother is the most difficult but its sad to say tt alot of this people are malay. hmmph.

well, i passed my modules. thank god. alhamdullilah. =)

2007-09-13T22:53:00.000+08:00

its my 1st afternoon shift at obs and its the 2nd last day for my obs posting. we were not assigned by the staff nurse as we get to choose where to be today. i deliberately wanted to be in the nursery cos i want have more time with the babies. hehe. so we took report and get to work. the babies were all so adorable. one will cry, the rest will start getting restless. we bottle fed, change diapers and jus entertain them when they cry. shu ying, esther and me were in the nursery. there was only 1 staff nurse and she didnt do anything with the babies. she did all paperwork for the whole shift. she was so busy tt we jus do everything ourselves. there was even one time i was alone taking care of the babies. shu ying and esther went for break n the staff nurse also went for break. luckily, all the feeding had been done and diapers had been changed. i had macs for breaking fast with huda and fadhilah.by the time we came back to the ward, it was already 8 plus. den esther, shu ying and myself took pictures of the babies. =)

2007-09-12T21:29:00.000+08:00

i jus came back from the mosque. my mum and i went to the mosque to have our terawih prayers. mum told me how i behaved when i was 3 years old during fasting month. she said that she would bring me to the mosque for terawih prayers but instead of following, i would always end up snoring away. she said that when breaking fast, i would be the most chaotic person in the kitchen. haha. its nice hearing abt my childhood days.

today was a better day than yesterday. the staff nurses that was assigned to the same cubicle as me was quite nice. she picked out who goes to the nursery and who stays at the ward. usually, we would decide but today was different. i had to stay at the ward and my cubicle left with only 2 patients! hahaha. there wasnt anything to do lah. luckily, ms chia kept wanting to see all of us. so time is wasted there lah. she went thru the log book, explaining every single detail tt we need to know. she was naggy but she was extremely helpful to us. she showed us a REAL placenta from a mother that had jus given birth. seriously, i wasnt up for it so when i saw it, my eyes popped out! haha. there was SO MUCH blood and it was soo gross lah. she even mentioned tt some mothers EAT thier own placenta as it is very nutritious and healthy. OMG! i wouldnt eat it lah. the thought of it jus makes me puke. but it's interesting to know tt some people practice it. She also let us take a picture of the placenta n all of us quickly took out our phones. hehehe!

i guess tt was the only interesting thing tt happened today at the ward. 2 more days to go at obs and im done with paeds and obs. i cant wait to work with min at NUH. im praying tt everything goes well.

Happy fasting to all muslims in singapore. =)

2007-09-11T19:49:00.000+08:00

the fasting month is coming very2 soon. tomorrow night is already the terawih prayers and thurs is already the 1st day of fasting month. woah im so breathless cos everything happens so fast.

Monday.
today is the 1st day of my posting at obstetric ward. jus like any 1st day, everything is pretty blur. luckily, i was able to find the ward. when i reached the ward, i didnt see any soul around.i was getting paranoid den suddenly i saw some of my friends. we walked towards the staff room and put our bags. den work started.sister arranged me, huda and siu ying to the nursery room. i didnt know what to expect but when i went into the room, i saw many babies, crying all at the same time. there was only 1 staff ard as the other 2 staff was on mc. luckily the staff nurse was nice to us and showed us whats the routine for nursery. i told the staff nurse tt i didnt hold an infant before n she guided me all the way. i owe it to her. now i feel brave to carry an infant n feed them. the CI came and guided us thru infant bathing. each of us got to do infat bathing. all day long we jus fed the babies, change the diapers, bathe the baby and document the i/o. it was fun and kept us busy for the day. after work, bf picked me up at KKH and we took a cab to cathay cineplex to watch 'no reservations'. i didnt think tt the movie was great. its alright lah. the starting and middle part was pretty lengthy and boring. but the msg behind the movie is good. so i rate the movie 3 out of 5. at night, syam and aishah picked us up at paya lebar n we went for dinner at west coast. it was aishah's birthday. happy belated 24th birthday aishah! den syam sent me home and the rest went home.

Tuesday.
Its the 2nd day. mum sent me to work today. we couldnt stay at the nursery for the whole wk. we have to rotate and today, im at the antenatal and postnatal side. we did sponging and perineum care for a patient and it was my 1st time doing it. it was pretty confusing when it comes to taking the vital signs. i got thrashed by the staff nurse. i took BP for a patient and i immediately record the readings on chart, without realising tt the BP was high n the patient is antenatal. i didnt inform the staff nurse n when she checked the chart, she freaked. she said i had to take the BP of the patient laterally for correct reading. i jus kept quiet n did it. den she said 'see i told u the reading is different. aiya'. omg. how the hell did i know? dammit. den i wanted to cancel it den she said ' don cancel ah. go find blanko and blanko it'. omg. who uses blanko nowadays? its call liquid paper now. sheesh. we didnt know that there was a portable BP set for all pts so huda used the dinamap n got thrashed too. the thing abt the staff nurse is tt she didnt explain to us properly n shes so fucked up. den i said that huda and i are going break. den she said 'huh? only now want to go break? y nvr go earlier? quick lah.' i was like wth.we realised that only certain time u need to take BP, temp, PR, RR, n pain score. at 2 pm, we took vital signs with her again. tis time, she told us specifically what to do n we followed her orders. haiz. i left at 3pm n went to meet min at jurong east. tks for the souvenirs dear. its nice =)

its such a 'thrashed out' day today. im hoping tmr would be a gd day.

2007-09-09T19:56:00.000+08:00

today my parents, atok and me visited grandma's grave. its been so long since i visited her grave. its not that i dont want but ive been busy with school and attachments. they would always go in the morning so im usually snoring away. but today was different. i realise that fasting month is coming n i know my parents wouldnt want to visit grandma's grave during fasting month. besides, i kinda missed grandma. so i drag myself out of bed and got dressed.

there were many cars at cemetery. people were all thinking the same thing. a week before fasting month, people would all visit the cemetery. fasting month is coming very soon and i will be having my attachments. my mum thought of making cookies and cakes this year. so she wanted me to help her. i jus said that if im willing and i could, i will help her. its nice to see my mum back to her old days. eversince she stop working, she has been keeping herself busy. cooking, gardening and taking care of atok. tis year, fasting month would be a blissed for her. she is so looking forward to catch up on religious stuff.

tmr im starting obstetric attachment. i kept thinking myself its gona be only one week and i can do this. i hate waking up early to go KKH. its so draggy. im making new friends again and i hope things will look up for me.

im meeting bf tmr. yeayness!

2007-09-08T16:02:00.000+08:00

2007-09-08T00:03:00.000+08:00

Tuesday night.

as i have mentioned, bro mum atok and myself went to vivo city for the movie. bro brought us at banquet at harbourfront to have our dinner first. we had western food cos we came late and there wasnt any malay food left. after eating, we took a walk to vivo city to catch the movie. my mum couldnt resist the temptation of nachos, so she bought for herself nachos. i wasnt feeling well that day so i didnt gobble up the nachos. i jus eat some only. i was having flu, slight fever and sore throat that night. in the cinema, the cinema is quite packed although the movie started at 9.30pm. i took a glimpse at my mum and atok half way thru the movie. my mum was trying to keep herself awake while atok enjoyed the show. such a shocker. personally, i find that movie is soo fun to watch and its characters are so cute. i would rate it 3 out 5.

Wednesday.

the nxt day i had to wake up early to get to work. my mum sent me to work. there wasnt much to do so i jus played ard with the kids and babies. when shift ended, i took a cab home cos i was havin headache. by the time i reached home, i changed and got some rest. by night, i was already having fever, running nose and cough. i ate med and dinner and went straight to bed. i missed out watching rahsia perkahwinan and greys anatomy( new season). damn.

Thursday.

i was feeling better by thurs. luckily, i start my shift at 1 pm. so i had ample time to sleep and rest after taking the meds. mum sent me to work cos she thought i was still not stable to take the bus by myself. i started my shift and i realised that most of the patients were discharged! dammit. including the 6 mths malay baby that im SOOO attached to and the 6 mths chinese baby that the grandma couldnt speak english. as well as the 9 yr old boy who was brought in for asthma. damn. im so pissed about the discharged baby i was attached to. he was MY FAVOURITE. everyday, i look forward to play with him and carry him. i whined the whole day. haha. wat to do.

well, so basically, 3 beds were empty but not for long. 3 more admissions came in the same day. 2 came in the same time while the other came in at 9 pm. one more is 3 mths old chinese baby. one case is the 11 days malay baby , the other is 1 mth malay baby boy, and the other was a 3 yr old chinese girl. one more was discharged den another came in. it was an 8 yr old girl. the weird thing is that all came in for GE (gastroenteritis). same diagnosis. haha. i laugh when i read the case notes. another thing is that i managed to do admission on my own. yeayness. den the parents of the babies were MIA most of the time. we had to do the cleaning up of the babies.

Friday

i feel so relieved that today is the last day of paeds attachment. if not, there will be more work for my cubicle cos of the babies in my cubicle. well, i went to work as usual. i heard from the morning shift students that there was so much drama with the 3 yr old girl. she was so spoiled with the parents. aiyoo. well, took report den went to do para. so busy. babies crying, mothers talking, relative yakking and yakking, staff nurses running all oveer the place. last day so busy sia. luckily last day. by aftnoon, the mothers all by the babies so they clean and fed the babies. i managed to see a blood collection at the treatment room. i pitied the baby cos he had to go thru so much pain. bld were oozing out alot and i was like standing there, helpless. the staff nurse and doctors told me not to touch anything. i felt like crying but i had to remain as calm as possible. during my break, the 3 yr old malay girl's mum came to visit. she is on police case so the mother cant bring her out of the ward. den she tried to but was stopped by gabriel and the staff nurses. den a HUGE argument broke out. gosh so much drama. i wasnt there to see cos i was having my break. i heard all this from my partner. i bought a card for the ward staff and we all signed it. we gave the card, took pics and left the ward. =)

super duber long entry.

2007-09-04T17:18:00.000+08:00

Sunday.

At first, wini planned to go out with the gang. but at the last min, she had to back out cos of some urgent matter to settle. so anip bf and me discussed and still went ahead with meeting up. i wanted to watch rat-a-too-eee but anip didnt like cartoon movies. den he suggested that we go for karaoke at bedok. bf and i agreed. my mum told me that uncle wanted to give us a lunch treat at swensens. my mum grandad and me met up with my uncle aunt and my cousin. after lunch, we left for prayers and went window shopping at marina square. my mum and i saw this panting shop. i thought that my room needed a painting to brighten up the room. den mum saw this beautiful painting. its a forrest landscape, with a mix of purple, blueish colour. its very calm whenever u look at the painting. mum negotiated the price and we got it for a whooping 85 bucks. i loved it! after buying, i went off to meet up with anip and bf. our karaoke session lasted for 3 hours and den we went to meet hidayah(anip's friend) for dinner. den i went home.

Monday.

today is my 3rd morning shift and its such a drag to go to work. my mum couldnt send me to work so at 6 am, she called on for a cab. it was fun because it was my first time taking a cab as early as 6 am. i had my breakfast den i started work. the night before, there was 2 new admissions. one was a 3 yr old malay girl while the other is a 9 yr old chinese boy. the malay girl was admitted because of being abused by her mother while the chinese boy is admittied cos of asthma reoccurence. the 1st week, i was pretty akward with the kids and babies in the ward. but today i was so cling onto the babies. especially the 6 mth old malay baby. he is soo adorable and very smiley. whenever the mother is ard, i wouldnt dare to come near much. the maid usually takes care of the baby in the morning so i usually carry and play with the baby during the day. i love taking care of him cos he is such a obedient and handsome baby. even the maid was nice. remember the kid that always cry? she hasnt cry for a few days now and all the staff are beginning to like her. she has been an obedient girl n very acceptive of others ard her. i heard that whenever the mum is ard, she will get so spoiled and she will cry alot. after a day's shift, i got home and did my case study. i spent the whole evening doing my case study. after completing it, i slept.

Tuesday.

today i took the cab again at 6.15 am. when i reach KKH, i bought my breakfast and went to staff room to eat. after which, i started working. today, there wasnt any new admissions. today im supposed to present my case study but ms chee didnt come. i wasted my effort to spend the evening before doing it. at 11 am, the girl who cried alot was transferred to ICU. apparently, the doc found out that she had heart problems. all of us were star strucked cos we were beginning to like her. well, den bed 15 was empty. i prayed that there wasnt any new admissions. i was getting more friendlier to the 3 yr old girl who was abused by the mum. the aunt that was taking care of her was so friendly. as usual, i played with the 6 mths old baby and carry him ard. i jus ADORE him sooo much!! its like whenever i carry him i feel like im carrying my son. haha. its jus a thought though. there wasnt any 2 hrly para much and i only make milk for the most of the day. i did my daily i/o chart recording and tidy up the ward. ms chee said that we will get a chance to bathe an infant. til now, i havent gotten the chance yet. suddenly, attachment at paeds wasnt as bad as the 1st week. maybe cos there is cute babies ard. hehehe! after work, mum and atok picked me up from work and headed to vivo city to get tix for rat-a-too-eee. my bro is treating us to the movie tonight. i cant wait!

saturday yet again.

2007-09-01T14:22:00.000+08:00

today is my 2nd morning shift at KKH ward 56. and ive enjoyed the morning shift because there is a lot of things that can be done in the morning. the kids got up bright n early for a bath and for breakfast.

on my 3rd day at KKH, i was still doing my afternoon shift. as the previous 2 days, it was pretty much boring lah. nothing much to do except for the taking of vital signs and i/o charts. on the third day, the baby from my cubicle was discharged and i was pretty attached to him. on the same day, another 9 yr old boy was admitted. this time it was a malay boy from a special school. he came in with his teacher and the teacher was so nice.

on my 4th day, i was doing my 1st morning shift. its such a drag to get up early in the morning to get to work. but luckily, my mum was nice to send me all the way to KKH. my first morning shift was really nice. because i help the kids to the toilet to take a bath. now, the 2 boys were acquaintances and were very naughty. they would jump out of bed and run ard the ward. one of my patient was discharged. he was a 3 yr old kid and was so adorable. i jus got to know him and he had to be discharged but im glad that he is okay. an indian baby was admitted and his parents were so arrogant. they didnt want any medical students to come near the baby(which includes us). whats worst, they put up a sign on the baby cods.

as for today, my partner switched shift to afternoon shift and i had to be alone in my cubicle. unfortunately, today i had to do 2 hourly temp, PR, RR, SPO2 for a few patients. luckily the EN was nice to help me out and told me exactly what to do. the night before, 2 more patients were admitted. one was a malay 6 mths old baby and another is chinese 3 mths old baby. the malay baby had a long name and all the staff nurses were talking abt it. haha. as for the chinese baby, the grandma keep calling for a nurse to attend to her baby. the problem was she only speak mandarin. i couldnt understand a word she was saying. so i had to get someone to translate them.

time flies fast and it was already noon. by the time, i was already playing with the babies. one more patient was admitted. i wanted to do the admission but i didnt know how. further more, the parents wanted staff nurses to handle thier baby. so we jus took her vital signs and record it. i passed report to the afternoon shift student nurses and signed out.

It was nice to meet fee at KKH. she is doing her obs posting at KKH and i met her a couple of times during break.Its already been a week that im at paeds ward. another week to go at paeds and the week after at obs. den continuation of 3 wks at surgical at NUH. jia you!

paeds.

2007-08-29T09:31:00.000+08:00

today would be the 3rd day of my paeds attachment and everything has been going quite alright so far. ive been a rollercoaster with the kids.

on my 1st day, i was so blur with everything sia. like i didnt know where to get the stuff like milk and i didnt know what to do with the kids. hahaha! even taking the vital signs was difficult because the babies were crying alot and were so agitated. there was one malay girl in my cubicle who cried ALOT! everytime she walked into the ward, she would wailed loudly. only the mother and father can keep her shut. haha. none of us can do anything. i made friends and we always go break together.

on my 2nd day, things were slightly better than the 1st day. i was less blur and would get things done. on the 1st day, 2 or 3 kids were discharged from my cubicle. so ytd 2 kids were admitted. one 13 yrs old girl and the other is 9 yr old boy. they arrived at the same time and i had to help with the admission. the staff nurse asked me to do the admission but i didnt know what to do. so i jus took the vital signs for both. my partner was MIA. she actually went to play with another baby at the play room. i was pissed lah. luckily the staff nurses and ENs were nice to tell me what to do. i try to play with the babies and kids as much time as possible because there wasnt anything to do. by the end of the shift, my legs were cramped!

today im having afternoon shift. and i don know how it will go. =)

raya shopping.

2007-08-25T21:56:00.000+08:00

min seri and i were supposed to cycling yesterday morning but due to the bad weather, cycling had be cancelled. so we went to have 'breaklunch' at arnolds. after that, seri suggested that we go for a game of pool at parkway. with our bags, we headed down to parkway. the pool spot at parkway was so clean and so comfortable. its airconditioned and its not very crowded. seri had to go at 2 so min and i continued playing until 4 pm. after which, we left the place and headed home. min decided to have her hair coloured so i accompanied her to the salon near my place. btw min, the hair looks awesome! =)

the girls ask me to join them for horror movie today. at first i thought to jus go with the flow. but den my mum told me that we had to collect my raya baju kurung. around 4 plus, we left home and went to joo chiat. when i saw the baju kurung, i was soo excited. it felt like tmr was hari raya and im getting ready for tmr. hahahaha! anihoos, i tried it on and it look great!

after the collection, my dad wanted to buy me another pair but i didnt want. instead i wanted new hand bag for myself. we went to centre point to look for my handbag and eventually i found the perfect one for me. its totally nice and i loved it! i joking say that to go with the handbag i needed a new purse. my dad jus smiled and ask me to pick one. hehehe!

den i needed to look for shoes. we walked around taka and centre point for shoes. but i didnt find anyone thats nice for me. my mum suggested that we go metro at paragon. den my mum found this pair of white high heals shoe. i tied it on and loved it right away! haha. i immediately went to pay for it.

today i bought 3 things for myself and im sooo happpy! thanks mum and dad!

im a happy kid today!

shopping spree.

2007-08-23T23:42:00.001+08:00

the proud owner of this bag is none other than ME! im ecstatic that bf bought for me this bag. ive always wanted to buy this bag but never had the money to buy it. so bf was sweet enuff to get for me this bag. he didnt even hesitate. he jus ask me to get the colour i like and he went to the counter to pay for it. bf has bought for me so many nice things like my current hp and this bag. im so thankful that i have him in my life. not because he buys me stuff. but because he is always there when i need him. i can never thank u enuff for all the things uve done for me.

i love you <3

exams fever gone.

2007-08-22T23:34:00.000+08:00

today marks the day that the exams fever are gone! ive spent every sleepless hours and every endless time studying for the papers.i feel so relieved and happy that exams are over. but my journey has not ended jus yet. attachments are coming very soon.

im beginning attachments nxt monday and im not that excited as i thought i would be. maybe because of the thought that i will be surviving alone without my classmates. or maybe because the arrogant and ego-centred staff nurses. or maybe because of the never ending skills that i have to complete in the logbook.

whatever the reasons are attachments is jus a pain in the ass. well, i will be going to KKH for paeds and obs. like ive heard frm friends, student nurses are not allowed to do much at KKH. only observe all day. i jus hope things would be different this time round.

jus like expected, i will be doing 6 wks attachments without breaks in between. my only rest day is on weekends. urggh. i guess the positive side of this is that at least i have something to get myself occupied while the others are stuck with boredem at home. hehehe! i'll jus have to think positive for now until attachments starts.

wish my luck peeps. thats all im counting for. =)

lyd's and iman's belated birthday.

2007-08-20T15:56:00.000+08:00

lyd's birthday fell on 16 august and iman's birthday fell on 18 august. it was so coincidence that these lovebirds birthday was on the same month! we didnt know until lyd told the rest of us. so we end up celebrated not only lyd's birthday but iman's birthday as well.

the plan was to have a game of bowling and have dinner together. bf wanted to play soccer so much that he told the rest he would come late. i jus followed him. hehe. as it turns out, there wasnt any soccer match due to the bad weather. yippie! so we head down to tamp mrt to meet anip. anip bf and i were the late comers and the theme for the day was blue! i find it so cool to have the theme for the day. everyone had thier diff shades of blue tops.

all of us were famished so i suggested that we go swensens for dinner. everyone agreed and found our way to swensens at marina square. we ordered alot of food from salads to steaks to sandwiches, not forgetting desserts. at the end of dinner, i was so full! we caught up on each other's lifes and laughed at jokes that we made. the atmosphere was so nice.

after dinner, we head on for a game of bowling. wini didnt play because she jus didnt felt like playing so it was only 5 of us. the best part was i didnt even think of the stress of exams because i was having too much fun. it was a nice distractions from all the mugging. wini left early because she needed to go home early. we left bowling at 10.50pm and headed home.

as for today, i finished my first paper which was bioscience. well, i find that the paper was alright la. ermm. i didnt expect reproductive wld come out. i jus hope i can at least get a D. i still have 2 more papers to go. jia you group 10!

i PASSED

2007-08-17T23:22:00.000+08:00

due to ambika's question on my tag board, im going to write this entry. at around 6.30pm, pauline msged me to inform me that we all pass our subpaper and practical! yeyyyyyy! pauline had to call up mdm asmah to ask sia. mdm asmah didnt bother to even inform us. thank god pauline called her up or else we won even know the results at all! well, she even said that we had to arrange our attachments with ms doris chan ourselves. wth. watever it is, that can be settled later. now i need to mug for papers. alhamdullilah.

exams invasion.

2007-08-17T15:50:00.000+08:00

im stucked at home because of only 2 reasons. firstly, bf is working and there isnt anyone else i can go out with. secondly, exams is in 3 days time.

first paper is bioscience paper. there isnt much i can talk about this paper. jus basically i don have any confidence when it comes to bioscience. however, ive studied half way thru and i think its enuff.

next paper is medical surgical paper. trust me there is so much to take in for this paper and im barely half way thru! im worried about this paper and its a 50/50 chance.

last paper is paediatrics paper. im only 1/4 done with the revision of this module. hahaha! i don know how am i gona keep up with year 2.

til now, i havent know the results of my sub paper and im getting anxious! i want to know whether i could go for attachments. if i pass, i will be going attachments after exams. if i dont, i will have to retake the paper nxt sem. dammit. at this point of time, im only hoping for the best for me. hmmmmph.

min did this.

2007-08-15T12:21:00.000+08:00

this was a collage min made for me. it was sweet of her to do that. both of us were online den suddenly, she ask for pictures of bf and me. she said she wanted to do a collage for me. haha. i was taken aback for a moment. but i was delighted! thanks min! =)

one whole day.

2007-08-14T00:14:00.000+08:00

today, the plan was supposed to go cycling with the girls. but seri had family matters to attend to and it was postponed to wed. i hope that i could make it on wed. anihoos, i decided to spend the day with bf.

i wanted to watch rush hour 3 so much that i had to drag bf along. both of us promised to meet at 11.20 but we were both late. ending up, we took the later time for the movie. we watched the movie at plaza singapura and i rate the movie 4 out 5. its damn hilarious.

after the movie, we wanted to grab some cheap food because both of us didnt have much money to spend. so i suggested that we go mackenzie for lunch. bf tried the ngor hiangs at mackenzie and he said that it was good. after lunch, bf happen to be curious about minds cafe so den i dragged him up to minds cafe.

we grab our seats and ordered the drinks & snacks. we picked up some board games like carcodles, uno stacko, bucklos and advanced mastermined. we had so much fun even though it was only 2 of us playing the games. game after game, we laughed and screamed at the top of our lungs. it was really a breather for us.

at 6 pm, we left minds cafe and wanted to head home. but anip called and wanted to meet us at bugis. he was with hidayah, his fren. so i thought we shld jus meet them. we met at bugis and accompanied hidayah and anip around. we had dinner together and both of us left the couple alone to head home.

i truly enjoyed the day today and i thank u for sending me home after so long. its truly appreciated and it feels wonderful knowing that u are always by my side. i love u syg.

god bless the broken heart.

my brother told me to download this song and i jus did so. when i listened to the song, i fell in love with it. ive always love country song and i like rascal flatts. this song reminded me of the times i was single trying to deal with a broken heart. the lyrics is so beautiful and i love to share nice songs with my readers. enjoy.

Rascal flatts feat carrie underwood - god bless the broken heart.

I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love, along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign, pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yes he did

I think about the years I spent, just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost, and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan, that is coming true

Every long lost dream, led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yeah

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lovers arms
This much I know, is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

meaningful lyrics.

2007-08-11T14:24:00.001+08:00

farhana, my cousin had this song on her blog. everytime i read her blog, i would try to figure out who sang the song until today i asked who sang the song. haha. well, i could relate this song to my relationship with bf. it reminded me of the first time i met bf and its such a sweet memory. it also reminded me of the ups and downs we have gone through together. its amazing how a song can influence my relationship. do listen to the lyrics as its really nice and touches my heart. enjoy!

just came back from padang.

2007-08-09T22:40:00.000+08:00

its the nation's birthday today and singaporeans celebrated the day by being at the padang and marina bay, all together wearing red and white.

I met up with angie, sabina, ee kee, meiqin, her bf, her best friend and min at city hall and went to marina square to grab some food. as soon as all of us bought our food, we walked to padang where there was a huge crowd seated at the padang. we quickly found some seats along the side at the padang and had our dinner. seri and her bf joined us later on.

the best part is that it wasnt hot and none of us were perspiring. it was so windy and cooling as the day went on. the fireworks were tremendous. from where we sat, we had the best view of the fireworks! i truly enjoyed the day! =)

pre-national day.

2007-08-08T23:35:00.000+08:00

after 2 days of stress, i decided to give myself a short break before i start studying for other 3 papers. bf had his first off today and we decided to spend time together. we didnt have any clue where to go. den i thought of eating seafood so i suggested to have lunch at lau pa sat. its been years since the last time i went there.

we met at at raffles place at 2 pm. den we walked around the CBD area to get to lau pa sat. we feel like tourists walking around, looking at the tall building around us. bf sometimes have to work at one raffles quay building and the building is tall n huge. when we reach lau pa sat, i immediately saw cockles and chilli crab! the chilli crab is quite expensive so we jus decided to have cockles. even though the cockles is 8 dollars, but it was alot and its quite nice. i think the one at newton is more delicious.

after lunch, bf and i couldnt decide where to go and what to do. in the end, we jus headed orchard to play pool. we were supposed to meet bf's friends at 6.15 but we reach orchard at 4 plus. bf and i went to lucky plaza and played pool until wini called me. we met the rest at far east plaza and went sakura for dinner. after dinner, the grp played pool yet again. we jus didnt know what else to do other than karaokeing. we left lucky plaza at 10.30pm and i took a cab home.

tmr im meeting my classmates to watch fireworks together! wheee!

HAPPY 42ND BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE! =)
