and enjoyed the night there.

24.09.07
boyf came over to my place.
went downstairs and started forming the happy birthday word using candles.
though it didnt light up as nicely as i thought it would.
but yeah.
its the thoughts that counts.

25.09.07
xin and nerd came over to my place.
we made sandwiches and bought some tibits and stuffs.
head over to min hse to have our yummylicious dinner.
cause she sprained her ankle.
and it swell like pig's leg. =X
dar - hope your leg is better already.
aft which, we had our fair share of fun playing candles, sparkles and lanterns!
hopefully we will be able to meet up for next year's mid autumn festival.

26.09.07
forgot to bring my ez link card to work.
and so boyf came down to NUH to fetch me.
so much of loves! (:
played my harvest moon on the psp.

when the clock strike 12mn.
called him played a happy birthday song for him.
and gy and garyson kept laughing non stop lah.
haha.

27.09.07
headed down to blood bank with boyf to make blood donation.
sadly, not me cause i cant donate.
boyf donated and he was like laughing throughout the donation process.
which makes me loss control of my laughter as well.
and i got the 'squeezer'.
its a pack of blood this time round.
im gonna do a collection of it.
heh!

went MS to have our dinner - kenny rogers.
we were both full to the max.
the surprise of his frens showing up with cake really did make him happy and im glad.
and he's dumb enough not to know about the surprise. =p
thanks to my good hiding.

he send me back home.
and its opening of presents!
took like 30mins - 45mins to do so.
cause the process of finding and reading takes alot of time.
everything ended and am happy that he's happy.

28.09.07

when i got up the train.

DSOT (day surgery operating theatre) posting have come to an end.
i enjoyed myself quite alot there.
though i wish very much that i can go to the main OT right from the start.
but still, its over.
and i've survived it. (:


more interesting cases.
liposuction - sucking out of fats tissues.
its a plastic surgery case by the way.
there's this 46y.o female.
remove her abdominal fats to place it on her buttoks.
like for what right?
waste the money.
then you have to tolerate the pain - probably cant sit on the buttocks for weeks.
and then you get yourself into risk undergoing surgery.
why cant she people accept themselves with how the look.


and and almost every part of her is almost fake.
she got her breast enlarged.
liposuction done like for the 3rd or 4th time already.
and many many unknown plastic surgery done.
all i can say is people like these are damn freaking rich.
but nevertheless, i think liposuction is damn damn cool.


i so dont look forward to ward posting next week.
cos ying xian's not gonna be with me already.
as in 4 weeks - 2 weeks of ED, 2 weeks of DSOT.
and im used to her prescence.
now got to adapt to new people all over again.
abit sian lah.
but not as if i've got a choice.
so jus bear with it and probably, be independent.


the day after work was out with ying xian, cedric, ming lee and jon.
headed down to clark quay's settlers.
and stroll along clark quay after that.
we girls receive one stalk of daisy each.
cause its the protect woman against aids campaign.
had fun with them. (:

days ahead gonna be ultra busy i guess.
tml will be pre-birthday celebration for boyf at ecp.
monday i feel like going to chinese garden leh.
but shall see how it goes.
tuesday will be lantern + candles + sparkles night with FD.
its gonna be fun for sure.
wednesday got to meet garyson for some stuffs.
thursay is boyf's birthday.
so far friday has got nothing on.
and saturday will be a day out with DDC.
sunday got to go school for hi club's camp.

anyway, boyf is on leave for the whole of this coming week.
hopefully we'll spend more time tgt. (:

more interesting cases in the day surgery.
- corrective rhinoplasty (they took the rib cartilages and mould it into the shape that allows it to sit nicely into the nose and place it there). the nose is super ah moh after that. damn nice. haha.
- i dont know what exactly the case is. but they actually pulled out veins from the person's leg. like super damn long vein.
- removal of screws from the legs. nothing much actually. but e surgeon really screw using the screwdriver u see. like normally we only get to see this kind of things on the walls or stuffs and not on the legs.

OT posting was as usual.
feel that its so slow passing.
probably cause its repeated kind of stuffs.
some job scope, same operating theatre.
but well, 3 more days.

i scrub in for 2 cases today.
and the surgeon's damn nice.
he introduced himself and asked for my name.
talked to me regarding the surgery and about school.
and praised me when i cut the suture, when i hold the retractor for him.
i mean most of the surgeons dont even give a damn lah.
all they want is finish the operation and go.
but he actually take the effort.
small little actions can make big difference.

i so dont look forward to ward posting AT ALL.
reason being ying xian's not going to be with me anymore.
and the people that's in my shift are those that i aint very close with.
its like sian big half can.
sighssss.

oh yes.
i met up with my poly cliques.
the feeling was oh-so-great.
at least there's something to look forward to before the day of work ends.
been super long since the 5 of us hang out like this.
headed off to marina square for pizze hut.
yummylicious.
walk around and bought 3 pairs of earrings.
and went over to bugis and we each bought an undies.
haha.

those talks.
those hot juicy gossips.
those crazy stuffs that we do.
oh my.
im so going to miss them.
and hopefully the we'll meet up every 2 weeks saying wont wears off.

i miss days with the BME guys as well.
days when we play like no body's business.
meet ups like almost everyday after school kind.
dont know where i got all those energy back then.

i miss FD.
last meet up seems so long ago already.
hopefully the changing of shift is successful so that we can meet up on mid atumn festival.
to play we candles and lanterns like how we did last year.
if i really cant change my shift then we'll fix a date to meet up soon alrights.

i miss DDC also.
since attachment start been going out very little with them.
those late night out.
midnight movies, CS gaming.
sit and talk crap.
those silly little things they do and say.
well, we'll meet up and stay out soon i guess.

let me sum everything up with results.
pretty happy with the grades i've got.
GPA 3.4091
thinking back in yr 1 sem 1.
GPA was only 1.9 super throw face can.
hahahaha.
anyway im happy with what i have achieve throughout the 3 years.

im so missing everything.
craving for many many meet ups people!

i've been posted to the day surgery instead of the OT.
just because my sir name is T.E.H.
and it so happens that its at the last few of the name list.
the first 11 goes to the OT.
the next 7 goes to the day surgery.
very very unfair i thought.

cause it bound to be very different in those 2 places.
minor cases and major cases.
at least if able to swap after one week will be ok.
but im stuck there for 2 whole weeks.
RARRRRRR.

still, we dont have a say in it lah.
anyway, i scrub in for 2 cases today.
ganglion excision and keloids excision.
scrubbing was pretty fun.
gown up and everything.
but its ultra tiring to stand and do the whole process of surgical handwash.

this young doctor super GL today.
during my circulating with the senior staff nurse.
she told me to time out.
i did as asked and while i was reading the name, NRIC and nature of operation he says.
whatever. dont need lah.
and gave the i-dont-care face.
that's not it.
he told the senior staff nurse off for taking the wrong instrument.
and complain her to the sister.

and and when im assign to scrub with the staff nurse.
he scolded the satff for clipping the suture needle on the forcep.
the staff acknowledge by saying orh ok.
and he says orh all you all know is say all but everything u scrub, you clip the needle. cant you all listen and follow.
like what the hell.
so what if you are a surgeon.
what's the big thing about it.
i dont give a damn.

most entertaining interesting OPs i have seen so far.
- missed abortion: 2 and a half months.
- circumcision.

2 subsequent day of having daddy sending me to work and picking me up from work is nice.
2 subsequent day of mummy cooking lunch for me to bring to work is nice.
im feel love.
sha la la~

i need to do 3 2 1 reflection like EVERYDAY.
its crazy + madness.

ED posting has come to an end.
despite the little complains that we got, i somehow still like ED.
but definately not CE.
not that i dont like it.
reason being i cant afford to see children get real sick.
it pains me totally.

the last day at ED was an eye opener.
and it proves very very much that there's no way i can work in CE.
i was in pac 1 on that very last day.
there was this stand by case of drowning + fits in the water - 11y.o boy.
dad did CPR on him when there's no sign of breathing upon bringing him up from the water.
and they took like 20mins to reach the A&E.

so we standby and receive the case.
when the ETT was put into him.
when the needle prick through his tiny little finger.
when the huge pair of hands did CPR on that tiny little body of his.
when the ECG shows asystole after adrenaline, atropine, normal saline, sodium bicarbonate and everything that could be done.
when you see the look of innocence in that little child.
when you see the small fingers of his turning cyanotic - blue.
when everything didnt help to revive him aft 30mins of trying.
it was ultra sadness and torture.

i look so hard on the ECG machine that when the sister calls me, i was in daze.
i was lost until shamini tap me on my shoulder and told me that the sister was calling me.
i tried very hard to fight back tears.
yes, i cried.
very very unprofessional i know.
but i couldnt help it.

it wasnt flooding kind of crying though.
just droping of tears.
but the others kept asking if i was ok.
guess i look a little terrible + horrible.
the heartache.
the thought of his parents losing him.
the way the parents will react when they knew about it.
it was a little too much for me to take.

the boy has history of fits.
but just because he hasnt had it for quite some time, his dad brought him to the swimming pool.
its not his dad's fault definately.
i just wanna emphasize that when something doesnt happen for some time, doesnt mean that it wont happen again. dont try your luck in cases which involves life and death. its not a good bet. never.

i kind of got over the incident already after everything that boyf told me.
and he's right.
i still got lots and lots to learn.
there bound to be sadness but as a nurse, must learn how to control my emotions.
cannot be so easily affected by incidents like this.

alrights.
enough of sad stuffs.
friday night was out with boyf.
accompanied him to bugis to get some stuffs.
and we watched ratatouille.
not bad, can go watch!

saturday morning went to work at bottle tree park.
i love the park eh.
very nice place to visit.
then accompanied mum to change her hp.
and we shopped around orcahrd.
until its time for home.

and today.
i finally paid some of my sleep debt and had sufficient sleep.
folded all the clothes and it took me more than an hour.
packed my room and it looks so much neater now.
but i bet its gonna be back to square one again in like few weeks time.
and and mop the floor.
been long since i do so much household chores.

gotta read up some OT stuffs and get my objectives done.
and OT posting will start tomorrow!
looking very forward to it.
hope i get to scrub in for lots of cases.

u are the reason behind my smiles.

i did CPR yest though i wasnt in pac1.
joined halfway cos was translating for a doctor before that.
the feeling was urmm, ahh.
actually i dont know how to explain it.

its like very sudden, scare and yet happy.
ok. happy cause i've been hoping to perform CPR in the ED lah.
not cause i want people to collapse okays.
well, the experience very different from doing on the manequin indeed.

eager to know the outcome?
i was the last to perform the CRP.
before me was like 2 other people.
the doctor ask me to stop doing.
and i was like just stop since that's what she says.

but afterwards realised that the patient still got a heart beat actually.
dont know why they "gif up".
probably a DNR case or the family requested for that or cause the patient is really old.
its pretty sad really.
but people come and go.
yep yep.

time to prepare for work.
its observation room later.
hope it doesnt gets too bored like usual.
