New found friend!

I found a friend at work!! Well, not exactly like lost n found kinda thing.. okays.. we shall say made a new friend.. haha.. He's this new radiographer in the dept.. oh, tts not impt.. *he's impt in the dept la, but tts not the main reason i'm writing this* keke.. so he found me in facebook, blah blah.. long story.. anyways we chatted abit tt night and realised he's frm st pats! haha.. so we talked abt the stuffs frm the past.. u noe like the sacians n kcians always hangs around with guys frm st pats or SJI (oh, he hated SJI boys..).. i was one of the more 'guai' or shld u say n-e-r-d in sch la.. din really hang out with guys frm other sch.. probably just a few frm SJI or st gabs.. alright, tts not impt..

Somehow it seemed to have brought me back to the past.. the good old days in sch where we jus do silly things together and sloth our time away.. the best phase of my life, seriously.. recently i kept having this nostalgic feeling, especially when the girls are together.. we have 5 sacians in the dept!! plus devi will be 6 okays! like how many ex-sacians can u find in the entire nursing field? and we currently have 5 in the same dept! lol!! i remembered once when me, germac, francine n sue zhen were all on the same night shift and we finished report early tt night.. so u noe when the girls meet, we chittery-chat NON-STOP! haha.. the rest of them jus stared at us in disbelief as we yakked.. for a moment i thought we were back in SAC.. haha.. thou we all met each other only at CE, it feels as if we knew each other for a long long time.. sorta like the deja vu tingy.. haha!


I'm going back to sch with germac!! hee~ not in SAC thou.. in NYP rather.. keke.. looking forward to it! *grinz*

I shall chop my hair off before school starts..

Went to vivo with darling first after our shift.. and our first stop was ALDO.. omg!! they have so many many lovely shoes!!!! i almost couldn't resist the temptation can!! its like mission impossible for a shoe addict.. wahaha.. kept trying out the shoes while darling was deciding whether she shld buy her bag.. after every shoe i tried i jus said to myself, "no no.. must save money!!" haha.. so end up not buying anything frm there.. but darling bought her bag thou.. she kept asking me if she shld buy, but i noe she definitely end up buying it so i dun wana waste my time telling her too much! wahaha! i knew her too well la...

Then we went to La Senza next!! din wana shop for clothes first cos tee yu haven joined us yet.. if not den we'll be repeating u see.. haha.. been wanting to buy new bras for some time le but always no nice ones.. so went in to see see la.. but u noe, see see den try try, den wana buy!! hahaha!! had a really fun time trying out the bras with darling.. she took so many to try! and best of all was she took this nightie tts full of sequins sewn on top(the neh neh part) to try.. i almost died of laughter in the changing room lor!!! LOL!! its so damn bloody SONG(old fashioned)!!!!! like those ge-tai dress kinda thing u noe.. hahaha.. she say if next time she wear tt den she'll poke her husband to death.. haha!

shall show some pictures of wat i bought.. actually wanted to take the pictures of them, but darling taught me a way to do it.. post the pictures frm the official website instead.. haha.. looks nicer as its worn on the models.. i'm not gona take pic of myself wearing okays.. like who wana see sia.. lol!!

I have this thing for trying out coats when its near winter time.. erm.. not winter in sg thou.. haha.. i'll pretend i'm going to winter countries for holiday den try out the coats.. and i did the same at zara today!! haha.. this time i said i was going to, u noe, switzerland.. lol!! and there's this white trench coat i tried tt looked REALLY NICE!!! i so wana buy it can!! haha.. but i think i'll die of heat stroke if i wear it in sg..

after tt we jus went ard to shop shop but din buy anything lah.. nothing caught my eyes.. the clothes i tried were all sooo big even if its the smallest.. grr.. den we got hungry and decided to head to Himawari for our dinner!! gosh, i was craving for the sashimi the minute after we reserved the table lor! haha.. their sashimi is still the best so far.. always so fresh!!

initially we planned to go have small drink after dinner de.. but i was too tired le.. after so many mornings.. i almost fell asleep while eating! haha.. but we had a good time thou.. its always so fun out with the girls!! :)

Recently my poor darling everytime kena piss off by this particular SSN.. u know the "I go toilet for awhile ah", "I go inside take something hor", "I go sister office k..", "I go drink water ah".. Every 5 mins u'll hear a different excuse.. I seriously suggest she jus say directly, "I GO EAT SNAKE!!" haha!

Today is my turn!! Well, not exactly very pissed off by her today cos I'm kinda immune to her already.. I think I'll jus do wateva I'm supposed to do.. But I still need to say it out to make myself feel better.. haha..

Today was outside with Jumat and she's the K shift T3.. but I tell u.. I swear with my bloody arse I dunno whether she saw like 20 patients ever since she start shift till 2.30pm when I finish work.. It was like 12+ going to 1pm and Jumat was having break.. so theoretically its left with me and her at triage.. but I dunno why I was seeing ALL, EVERY PATIENT tt came in!! dunno where the hell she go to.. den after Jumat came back frm his break he brought in a lethargic child for resus.. RESUS LOR!!! and she's still not there.. the triage que jus suddenly build up.. u noe peak hours and they always like to come all at the same time.. den it was always 5-6 to be triage.. no matter how fast i see oso cannot clear the que!! the thing is.. MY BLADDER WAS ALMOST BURSTING!!!!!! I fucking hell was waiting for her to appear so tt at least i can run to the toilet to pee and come back triage.. until like 2.20pm den I finally hear her voice so I quickly finish triaging den RUN, I seriously RAN FOR THE DAMN TOILET LOR!!! kaozz!!! At first I tot nvm, going to knock off jus wait for the afternoon shift to come take over.. but if i wait one more second i think i'll pee at triage already, no need go toilet..

After I got myself relieved, went back to triage and saw my screen.. as usual la.. the patients i saw was like half the page but hers jus like 4-5.. kaozz.. how to meet the KPI standard??!!! LOL!!

If only I can draw as well like the stickgirl.. Then today I'll probably draw myself with a big aeroplane flying above me.. If you catch the ball.. Try using your imagination..

Just a note: Be thankful that I didn't blow up today ya..

Farewell prezzies for all!!

Heh heh.. guess whats my farewell prezzie for ppl in CE?? >>>> INJECTIONS!!! wahahaha.. yes! I went ard the whole dept today to jab everyone!! tts the flu vaccine we have once a year.. but cos there's like different strands n stuff, so its like jus few mths ago we had the "southern hemisphere flu vaccine" and this time round its the "northern hemisphere vaccine".. I think I explained it like ten thousand times today, everyone was asking how come must take vaccine again? *faints*

Never in my life jabbed so many ppl in one day before! I think I jus enjoy the look on their face when the vaccine is going in.. haha.. Oh well, totally understand how it feels okays.. the F word came out of me when michelle gave me the jab today (with patient and parents around.. haha).. tts how freaking painful it is.. Anyways, I had a really fun time jabbing everyone! The only person tt say its not painful is my darling!! haha.. I was telling her the needle cannot go in.. So she was waiting n waiting for me to poke her.. den when i say 'ok, done.' den she like, 'HUH??!! I tot u say cannot go in?? I'm still waiting for u to jab lor!!' hahaha.. ok, means my skill improved after jabbing so many ppl today.. yay!! hee~


p.s.

The Bitter Stickgirl

http://stickgal.blogspot.com

Intriguing.
Take a look at her explicit illustrations if u have time! :)

WIMP

Teddy wanted me to mention tt he jus made my day..

He said he missed me.. haha..

I think he's too stressed..

Its so not like him to say that..

:)

Okays, it did cheer me up a little thou..

Antidote

We finally found the antidote to our jinx-ness!!! haha.. was afternoon shift today and T2 with ziying.. actually the day before we looked thru the assignment book and realised we're both outside today, plus Ms Dan is K shift T3.. u noe all the sway ppl.. so i was telling ziying today we shall combine all our power and flood CE like nobody's business!! lol!! and the thing is, everyone is looking forward to see wat hell we can create! kak jah was saying "aiyo! today u n ziying outside ah! lucky i'm going home seh.. if not i die ah!" haha.. she's morning T1..

So I went to work all prepared to have like resus after resus and the que maybe always at 30 tt kinda thing.. but after we sat down, the triage was empty most of the time.. with maybe 1-2 pts once in a while.. we're even fighting to see cases lor!! haha.. like fastest fingers first.. *faints* Ms Dan was rolling her chair to n fro our counters to chit chat n talk nonsense.. haha.. the que was like 18-19 but tt was the 'leftovers' frm morning shift.. and u noe.. must see which senior doctor on lah.. so its not our problem at all tt the que was long.. heh~

By now can u see, the 3 of us together will 'anti-jinx' each other and the place will be peaceful!! haha.. so all the SSNs out there, pls put us all together at triage more often cos our power will ward off all evils!!! wahahaha!!

At first I thought was jus coincidental.. but after Ms dan left at 6pm, ziying started to call for resus!! haha.. but tt was an interesting case thou.. too interesting and rare till Dr Ang oso wanted to keep the ECG.. here's the story.. this 8 yr old boy came in with the complain of vomiting and abdominal pain. no past medical conditions. clinically looks well, not dehydrated. abit small size for his age but tts not like a big issue. but the heart rate was way too low.. it was always 50+ at triage, so ziying brought him in to resus to double check. still the same, in fact it even dropped to 30+. so called for resus of cos.. haha.. after they put him on cardiac monitoring, realised tt the child was actually having complete heart block (a.k.a 3rd degree heart block)!! i mean, cardiac arrhythmias are not so common in children unless they're congential.. and plus the child was previously well! haha.. so u see, tts the good point of being a jinco.. u learn alot.. lol!

Anyways, they din give anything to the child lah.. as in no medications or watsoeva.. jus standby some atropine and adrenaline.. then quickly sent the child up to CICU.. and according to ziying, the whole code team was up there waiting for the boy to arrive at CICU already!! haha.. and started doing the 2D echo once the pt reached and after tt sent to OT for the transcutaneous pacer.. talking abt 2D echo, I personally hated it.. its so painful thou its non-invasive, and my chest got bruised after doing it okays.. lucky my valves weren't prolapsed, if not i think i'll have to go thru tt hell like so many many times lor!!

after tt resus it sort of started to flood lah.. i say sort of cos the docs are actually seeing quite fast.. so the que din build up too much..

Just received the enrolment package frm NYP today.. hai.. seeing tt envelope made me like... i dunno.. makes everything seemed more real maybe.. it was like living in a dream since the day sister tor told me abt it.. I'm happy but at the same time, jus getting more n more stressed.. wat if i can't perform as well like in diploma time? i noe sister tor sort of have high hopes for me.. frm wat she's been telling me recently.. hai.. i just hope i can really do well and move towards my goal..

BrokenBack

ARGH!!!!!! never am i gona stay over at chalets ANYMORE!!! not unless they change ALL their beds.. kaozz.. the pokey bed almost broke my spine can!! darling n tee yu can acutally fall asleep in tt thing!! *faints* it just made me love my bed even more.. my own nest is still the BEST!! nowonder my sis always likes to sleep on my bed!!!

our triage counter

was reading darling's blog and saw this pic she took earlier.. heh~ come to think of it.. i think i haven't taken any pics of our workplace for the longest time..

haha.. abit lame to post the same pic as darling's blog.. but this is where i sat after darling left me, all alone at 0130hrs.. lol!! took over her counter cos T1 was jus super freezing cold!!

hai.. when is night shift ever gona end??!!! i miss my phone.. :(

Lady luck

Was already dragging myself to work tonight.. then on the bus I realised.. I FORGOT TO BRING MY PHONE AGAIN!!!!! like for the dunno how many times lor!! hai.. now I feel so handicapped without my phone.. grr~ why am I so BLUR??!!!!

Tonight I'm out at triage with kak jah.. again, the 2 jinx out in full force.. haha.. everyone was asking us to "behave" tonight.. but then again, just as we came out from report, we're 'seeing stars' already.. heh~ okays.. I'm talking abt the ambulance la.. its a post fit case.. not too bad, so to speak.. after tt as usual pts keep coming in lor.. then there was this allergic reaction kid.. he's wheezing la.. but otherwise he's comfortable, spO2 99%.. the periorbital oedema wasn't tt bad to me.. anyways I sent in as a 9, but who noes he was brought out to resus by [ehem..] her majesty.. *faintz* after puffing him in resus, was brought back to obs2 again.. seriously got no comments for tt..

then after tt there was this father tt came running in frantically to me n said his son was having a 'heart attack'!! haha.. seriously i've nv seen a child having 'heart attack' before la.. so i ran out to his car with him to take a look.. i was expecting the child to be grasping his chest and in distress.. but he was jus sitting in the car, pale n weak and doing nothing.. so i asked if he has any medical condition.. then mommy gave me his discharge summary and realised he's known to have SVT[supraventricular tachycardia] and some congenital heart problem.. jus then darling came out to take a look too.. den when i told her is SVT, she went to the child and wanted to CARRY HIM OUT OF THE CAR!!! lol!!! tt boy is 15 yrs old lor!! and she wanted to carry him with 2 hands!! haha! after she realised she can never do it den she asked the father to help carry him to the wheelchair.. LOL!! after which we quickly push him to resus rm..

me n darling were expecting tt boy to be tubed[intubated] and den do a cardiovert or smth cos his BP was kinda low and he's pale looking.. but they jus gave adenosine and he was discharged eventually.. heh..

oh.. the docs tonight are not very fast.. or maybe there's jus too many pts.. the que is moving ever so slowly.. with tt of cos u get angry parents yelling at the nurses station, bugging at us, thinking tt way they can see the doc faster.. haha.. try harder maybe.. :P

the stubborn me was trying to type my entry at triage again.. haha.. and see wat happened.. now i hafta finish typing during my break.. and the time now is like 0430hrs.. for the whole night i never had like 5 mins free of pts lor!! geez..

Oh God.. pls make me remember to bring my phone out next time ya..

Renovation!!

Okays.. CE is finally EXPANDING!! with the number of pts everyday the current place is simply too... small.. ya.. so they're doing it in phases cos 'we're still running a service' ms pang said.. grr..

And i thought sister said they'll probably start the thing like 1-2 weeks later.. but they're already doing it like NOW.. erm.. ya, few days ago.. so the first thing they started on is our staff toilets!!! shifted ALL our lockers and closed down the toilets.. n now my locker is in the tea room!! tea room's left with 2 miserable tables, plus they cordoned the area next to the entrance.. imagine the space left.. *faints* and cos we have no more toilets left theoretically, hafta go all the way to CE annex to change.. walk pass the waiting area and let the pt, parents see that u're coming/going, on/off duty..worse has yet to come.. wat if u're LATE??!!! u just hafta run here n there like a siao za bor to change into ur uniform and to keep ur barangs... how interesting..

Oh ya.. they shifted the lockers on thursday, which was my off day.. so they opened our lockers and dump everything inside those black plastic bags and stuff the whole thing back into ur locker.. and my uniform become like 'giam chai' lor!! but looking on the brighter side.. actually they sort of forced me to tidy up my locker lah.. haha.. i realised i'm jus full of rubbish!! at home and at work, my space is always full of.. ya, rubbish.. my sis knows best.. lol!!

Anyways, i'll just need to tahan this for another 1 mth and off i go for my adv dip!! and when i'm back frm studies the place will be fully renovated.. plus i dun need to go thru JCI!! how wonderful is tt!! wahahaha!!

*grinz*

He just brightened up my day.. :D

I miss u baby...

Tired

Sick and tired of all thats happening...

Just put everything to an end..

Let me have a peaceful and smooth sailing life..

Back to school..

Sister tor called just now.. I'm going for the adv dip..

Thats one more step nearer to my dream..

Since the day I graduated I've been eyeing at this..

Now its finally here..

But..

Why am I so moody?

UNDERtriage

Hate the feeling when u under-triage someone.. hai.. and of all days it has to be TODAY!! was super tired frm the furniture fixing yesterday, whole body aching, my hands cramping and my palms are bruised frm the screwing(sounds kinky eh? heh~)!!! some more this morning was bloody hell busy!! i think i sent in like more than 20 '9' cases lor! all breathless and post fit.. Ms Dan was cursing me when she saw me at break.. lol!!

saw this girl, 14 yr old.. came in with fever for 10 days and cough.. air entry wasn't that good but no wheezing.. slightly tachycardic (at 130+ bpm) but cos there's fever.. but her mom kept saying she has this uprolling of eyes tingy and at first i thought was fit.. so i asked whether she can respond to ppl's call and she said yes.. tt girl was also aware of wats happening to her.. but the thing is i didn't see wat sort of uprolling of eyes tt is, so i din think much abt it.. sent her in as a '9' cos her saturation was 94%..

so abt 30mins later this girl was brought in to resus as ordered by HER MAJESTY.. she said tt girl was very pale, and apparently her pulse went up to 280+ at obs 2.. the thing is, how can a big girl like her have a pulse rate of almost 300??!!! its abit ridiculous lor.. so she was as usual, shouting and asking who triaged tt girl.. jus happened i was in the resus room so i answered 'me'.. kaozz.. if u know her u shld be able to imagine her charred face.. so she was like "wats the parameters when she first came in? how come this wasn't a resus case??"

okays.. tt girl really did looked more pale as compared to when i saw her at triage.. so u know being the perfectionist obviously i dun feel good lah.. plus her majesty and tt uncle keep saying until like i made some grave mistake or wat.. but veron mommy was telling me if its her who triaged she oso wun put resus.. hai.. was really bothered by this case for the rest of the shift..

So tt girl was actually having OGC.. oculogyric crisis.. is a dystonic reaction to certain drugs and/or medical conditions. The term "Oculogyric" refers to rotating of eyeballs but several other responses are associated with the crisis.

Then during my break met CP Lee in the pantry so i asked him abt the case lor(he's the one who saw tt girl).. okays.. this part made me feel a little better.. he said the girl din look pale to him at all.. the x-ray wasn't very nice(she had pneumonia), but she looked ok.. in fact if he's the boss den he wun wana uptriage the girl either.. he also said the OGC was just mild.. the main thing is still the pneumonia.. then he made tt disgusted face when we talked abt the boss tingy.. hee~

Talking abt CP Lee.. tt reminded me of smth.. haha.. the first thing tt came to my mind when i first saw him was>> He looked like teddy!! lol!! i'm not the only person who said so.. tee yu agreed with me too lor!! and everytime i see him makes me wana laugh.. cos den i'll think of the real teddy.. keke.. okays.. i know what u're thinking.. he's married alrealy la.. some more his wife oso doctor.. haha.. :P

Well, moral of today's post is: I shall think twice, think thrice before putting the category for every child i triage frm now on!!! even if its just fever, cough and runny nose!!! Grrr~

Night Offs!!

Yay! I'm done with my 2 nights! hee.. feels as if I did 4 nights can.. super tired.. was having ptosis towards the end of shift just now.. lol! What a disgrace I am right.. Bing ling's doing 4 nights and she's like super alert lor!! haha.. I think I probably used up all my energy during the start of shift.. was running up and down in the dept like a mad woman cos u know - busy.. but this round of night shift was good cos we have all the 'our ppl' working together.. haha..

Germac 学姐 heated up the muffins tt tee yu bought after our 2nd break.. Its v nice lor!! haha.. nice and warm, with the chocolate melted at the centre.. aww~ how sinful it is! lol! so we jus nua at the counter and enjoy our muffins..

Thats 学姐 with her mouthful of muffins.. haha.. supposed to catch her with her mouth wide opened thou.. hee~

p.s. I'm thinking if I shld upload the pics.. heh~ cos ppl will know tt we're eating snake! *faints*

Tonsilitis

Augmentin makes my tummy churn churn churn..

Grr~

Fate
–noun
1. something that unavoidably befalls a person; fortune; lot.
2. the universal principle or ultimate agency by which the order of things is presumably prescribed; the decreed cause of events; time.
3. that which is inevitably predetermined; destiny.
4. a prophetic declaration of what must be.


Things happen for a reason. Don't you think so? But when it becomes inexplicable, more than often the attribution goes to the word 'fate'. "God has His plans." As what I would always tell myself. Not that I'm a devoted christian, neither do I have any 'true' religion to follow. Perhaps it's the influence I got in school. You know, back in SAC where we had religious classes, bible study and stuff. We pray to one God whether you're a catholic, buddhist or muslim. Thats what I learnt. I believe in God, but not of a specific religion. I talk to God. Okays, only when I'm desperate for help. hee~ Whatever it is, I'm still sticking to the point that God make things happen, and He has His reason for doing so.

I'm telling myself that this is all fated. Why did God make me realise my feelings only at this particular point of time, after it's been decided. Why didn't it occur when all along he was there? When all along he was there, no (actual)plans ahead. Perhaps I was being too cautious. Or perhaps I wasn't sure if those feelings I had were for real or was it out of loneliness, desperation or merely just an infatuation. I didn't want to 'make use' of him, so to speak.

I'm telling everyone out there that I didn't shed a single tear last night. Though I was expecting myself to. Should I say that what happened in the past has made me a stronger person? To better control my emotions? (Well, Jovi said he see that I've grown stronger. *shrugs*) I haven't been a real fan of seperation. I don't think anyone is. *faints* I remember how I cried my eyes and lungs out when Sher and I had been streamed to different classes in Sec 2. Then when she had to follow her mom to Canada. Next was when Joy left for Aussie. That was less than a year ago. We all agreed to send her off happily as she's going there to persue her dream. But that night, we all went home with red and puffy eyes and a bad sniff. I think I really had grown alot ever since (you know what happened). Not physically of cos. *rolls eyes* Mentally and emotionally, rather.

Well, we'll see how it goes. Thats all can be said right now. :)

Lost...

Seriously speaking.. am i really lost? or am i sure of my own doings? probably its emptiness tt i'm feeling right now..

I'm jus not in the mood to type...

我想我应该轻轻放开你的手，

我却没有力气这么做...

MY MSN IS DOWN... HELP!!!!!!!
