Wedding Preps

Darling and tee yu decided to come over my place to help me with some of the stuff. And I thought, since a picture speaks many many words, here's a look at how buuussyyy we were working on the DIY projects for the BIG DAAAY!

Mr Richard Koh, our entertainer of the night. :)

SGD$2.20 worth of Weili's lt thigh. Anyone interested?

Darling super engrossed in measuring the lampy.

So it takes 2 to measure a lampy. LOL~

Finally they got the measurement.

Our man happy with his red lampy. Haa.

Oh, thats me trying to act pretty with the flowers. LOL!

Our only accomplishment for the night.

Okays, thats all for now. Shall post photos of the ang bao box soon. Once its completed. Haa.

AND... time to prepare for war again.

Ciaoz.

Pats myself on the shoulder. Haa. I spotted a Kawasaki today laaaa! Okays, Kawasaki disease. Cute as the name may sound but its actually quite a serious autoimmune disease (i.e. the immune system fighting against your own body) that affects multiple organs, but most importantly the heart la. Causes some dilation of the vessels and the child MAY get a heart attack. Yes, heart attack in children. Haa. So the most common sign you see is what we call 'strawberry tongue', where the tongue looks like a strawberry la duh.. Others include eye redness, rashes, persistently high fever, peeling of skin on the palms and feet etc.

So this girl I saw today, 4 yrs old, mommy said had high fever for 3 days with eye redness, tearing++ and rashes over the body. Temp was 39.7 but it was time for her next dose of fever meds so thought maybe just give her a dose of paracet and do blood test la. But the more I see her the more uneasy I felt. Like you know your gut feeling's telling you something is not right. She looked really RED la. Her lips were super red too. But she didn't have the 'strawberry tongue' thou. And I thought she didn't have the 'sandpaper rash' either(I got mixed up with scarlet fever laa). She was totally alert, like answered my questions appropriately and all. But I just thought something was not right. So I sent her in as a 9 case anyways.

Then when I was having my break, Dr Myla (who saw the case) told me it was an early Kawasaki and I did well for spotting it laaaa! Haha. *Spins round the room. But then again, I didn't EXACTLY said it was Kawasaki, I just thought it could be so I was just playing it safe. :)




Oh well, at least better than our 蛇女 who insisted it was a KNEE FRACTURE when it was OBVIOUSLY(+++++ to the core of my arse) a PATELLA DISLOCATION. Rolls eyes.

SPOTTED: Girl wearing tube top with a carpark-coupon-auntie hat --- jogging.

*Rolls eyes.

Weddings are really a CHORE! Not my wedding but I'm almost as busy as the couple. *Shrugs. My darling maaa. What to do. Haa. Its 1 1/2 mths to the BIG DAAY! Now the only worrying thing is TIME. Hope we have enough of it. Okays. I shall not be lazy and do it whenever I have time.

3) Flower ballies for the flower girls x 2

X'MAS REQUEST GRANTED!! *spins round the room*


Muackz to Sister Lee.  Yay!

我不入地狱, 谁入地狱？

Its just EIGHT in the morning and there's already freaking ELEVEN on the que! Rolls eyes. And they're still coming in laa. Really NON-STOP lo! Kaoz. I say its becoming a 'Sunday Family Affair'. Or maybe already BECAME. Gosh. ALL THE XIAO TOUs STAY AT HOME AND KOON CAN~ Or watch cartoon at home la! Sunday LOOOOOR!

And to make things worse, I'm sitting here at triage with our famous "蛇女" (snake woman). Rolls eyes again. It started even before shift started la. I bloody hell checked ALL the E-trolleys (which include hers), resuscitators, did the I-stat test, counted the equipments, purposely left the controlled drug for her to check, and the first thing she did as she stepped into the resus room was to SIT IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER AND LOG IN TO FACEBOOK!!! *Vomits blood. But I kept quiet and continued checking my stuff. What to do, people SENIOR STAFF NURSE maaa, I only staff nurse~. Pui.

 Then halfway through report, she suddenly (more like as usual) said "I go toilet ah."

Sighs. People wana lau sai then we cannot be so mean right. Haa.

Like what darling said, "你不入地狱, 谁入地狱?" Someone has to sacrifice and today its just lao niang's turn.



Entry written in retrospect @ 2144 Hrs
(Okays, it was THAT busy I have to write this at home, like now.)

So after report I went straight to triage and our dear Ms Snake, was nowhere to be found (as usual again). After seeing like 3 patients, she finally appeared and immediately said "I go top-up resus room kay." I didn't even look up cos I was bloody hell clearing the que and she OBVIOUSLY didn't see the whole driveway lined up with cabbies and cars laaa! (Pls read: alot alot alot of xiao tous here already) Grrr. I know top-up is important la, but not when the triage is flooding and you leave me to drown ALONE can. ALSO, if you wana top-up then do it properly la. Topping-up redundants like paracetamol when the cupboard already have 8 bottles, or thermometer probes when we already have 3 boxes... We preparing for war meeehhh??? Rolls eyes.

She obviously testing my 忍功 only lo. My ratio to hers was like 10:2? I see 10 patients she see T-W-O! Never mind lo, I junior maa. So I tahan-ed until 10.30am when Yanti came. I thought "Waa, finally I can go break liao. Like, I'm gona faint any moment laa". BUT, before I can even respond, she came to my counter and said "Yanti come already, I go first." and POOF, off she went. *Blood boils. And darling & Doris have to come at this time to jio me go break. Kaozz. I already pu huey liao can! We already planned on eating ban mian earlier and now I cannot go for break and I'm super duper hungrrrryyyy!

THEN AGAIN, I naively thought that maybe she will zi dong go and come back fast fast laa. Must be hungry until gong liao. She happily took 45 minutes when she's supposed to go for 30 minutes, and she came out not because she think her time is up can. My bladder was almost bursting and after Yanti and I finally managed to clear to zero I ran to pee la. Saw her in the toilet and with her shocked-to-see-me face she said "Eh, you want to go you go lo, I'm coming out already."

It was at this point where I cannot tahan anymore la. I slammed the cubicle door and didn't reply her. Bloody hell what do you mean by "you want to go you go lo."??!!! So you're saying I don't want to go la? Or is it you hungry, you need to eat people no need to eat? People not hungry? I was sooooooooo furious that I choked as I ventilated to darling lo. Just minus the tears falling nia. (I cry when I'm super angry la.)

Anyways, the best part have yet to come.
Towards the end of shift, she came to my counter and said "Waa, you see very fast hor? I oso see very fast." *Rolls eyes and faint.


Fast my ass CAAANNN!! Pui!~

The Xiao Tou Curse Pt2.

Its night shift agains! Sighs. Not like I'm doing as many nights as I wished to. The payroll check was pathetic laaa. Just 2 weekday nights, 2 weekend nights and 2 weekday Es. Tell me someone you know have worse than me please. Grr..

I'm trying to break the curse, or rather, test its accuracy by blogging RIGHT HERE at triage. So far its 2 since my attempt to log in. Haa. Let's see the numbers by the time I finish this entry. Yea, bo liaos I know. But its the only way to keep myself awake since caffeine's on strike and no one I can talk to on msn now. Haas.





Now I'm lost. So many things I wanted to write here but my neurons are just not functioning.

Okays, maybe something thats constantly running through my mind. I'll just make some sort of closure though I seriously don't feel a need to.

I think if you missed the chance of having someone in your life as a result of not holding dear to them, then thats too bad. You move on; and please, look back only to learn your lesson and nothing else. Time waits for no man. If you think after realising your mistake that whoever (someone) will still be there waiting, my advise is, WAKE UP LAA! Lao niang is not someone whom you can suka suka say want or don't want can! You think you buying fish at market eh? Today I like this one so I'll get this, tomorrow maybe if I'm sick of it already I'll get the other one. Rolls eyes. And to those fishmongers (read: KPOs) out there; please la, people don't want then don't force can. It just makes people feel more frustrated (like they're not frustrated enough from all the pestering) and it may even sabotage your relationship with them. So what for? Unless seeing one's misery enlivens you, then by all means. Rolls eyes again.

Haa. I see you scratching your head! Catch no ballies eh? Its okays laa. Only those who needs to know will know.

:)


p.s.
Totally surprised. Just 3 xiao tous! Haa.


Recommendation: More tests needed laaaaa.
