Exams on Hari Raya week....

Ha! Exams in a month time.. what i hate most is studying during fasting mth.. ! how to study?!? It jus makes me sleepy plus, with the hopsital attachments.. too tiring to open book..

But it's ok la... not the first time.

Today will be the 3rd day at A&E. Was assigned at the Observation Room for the past 2 days, and me and Shiken will be at the Triage.. should be interesting.. where we will get to interview walk-in patients to the A&E. According to what i was taught, we have to do the assessments and interviewing in 5 mins, then decide on priotization- Emergency, Urgent and Non-Urgent. Let's see how it goes today.

I kinda like A&E, but was told that the dept may not consider Accelerated students.. why ah? Some say we lack skills.. but funny thing is they recruit fresh 3yr dip. So what's the diff? But now.. i really don't give a damn anymore to where the HR wants to deploy us.. like it or not, we will be there for 3 years. If I can, I would like to work at CDC, A&E or Rehab. Fat hope or no hope...? Anywayz,work is still work.. stress will always be here to stay.. So, i have so-called trained my mind to tell myself to make good use of my time, be resourceful and learn as much, though i may not gain much experience in different discipline.

Ok.. now serious business first.. after saur this morning, i had all my notes sorted out to start revising for exam. As to when to start..got to see mood.. but most likely this sunday. Will have to fight for seats at Woodlands Library..so will have to join all those kiasu-s Q right infront of the entrance gate. Oh.. this reminds me of the Q at John Little Rush Sales at Sommerset, last Sunday morning. I was there early, well like 10mins early.. but i didn't expect that there would be any queue cos there was nothing to fight for.. the dept store is big and their stocks are plenty.... I can understand if there's any sale of items going at $1 but there isn't any.. REally don't understand these pple.. why can't they jus enjoy the sunday morning walking by the beach or something like that.. or take beauty sleep...

ok now i got to take a short nap, got to get up by 1030am- get ready for work.

Posting starts next week.. 1st stop: A&E

Need to send my nursing uniform of some minor adjustments... need to loosen it.. hehe, put on abit of weight lately.. but i didn't eat a lot leh.. nevermind .. a bit of fat is good. If i fall, i got body fat to protect my bones from breaking.. and anyway, i am no longer that young.. Classmates have been calling me "Geron" (elderly in medical term).

I can't wait to get back into the hospital.. 1st stop for 1 week will be A&E dept. I love places where is action! A place where u think fast and act.. cannot wait .. no time to analyse.. must have commonsense ( which i may or may not have) but most importantly.. " hello hello ... are u ok!" i hope when i am faced with real situation, i don't freak out, stood there do nothing.. freeze.. and whatnot... hmmm, guess i have to do a lot of revision on... drugs, stitches, defib.. before i step into that dept. Maybe i should work out an action plan for each common senarios eg: puncture wound, poisoning, burns...
But come to think of it.. where got time?
Next Monday.. starts ..
Today as in Now! i am struggling to complete nursing project essay due this Friday. But i aimed to finish it by tdy! Tmr the only school day left - so i want to submit it.. Thursday go to lecturer's house gathering .. friday .. activity day, visit parents and do some marketing to prepare for fasting...

This is the final hospital posting till end of yr. Next yr starts fresh after 2 weeks break .. of becoming a full- fledged nurse!

ok now.. back to writting my essay...

Running : Mizuno and RealRun '06

Mizuno WaveRun 2006
The route was jus as bad as 2 yrs back when i ran 10km for the
very first time. In '04, I took 1 and half hour but this year,
I finished at 1 hr 13min ++. My classmates did better.
HK and KK finished around 50 mins ++, not too sure but
they were good!


New Balance Real Run 2006
My first 6km road, 2.4km beach and 1.6km trail run.
It was very tough to run on beach and I ended up walking
most the time along the 3 beaches. Completed in about
1hr 20mins. KK finished at 1hr 10min and HK finished before 1hr.

She's so sweet!

 

Every Friday is Kevin's off day, and together with my girlfriends, we planned ahead what to do on Fridays. But so far, only 2 or 3 times, we managed to get together to play and most of the time, it's swimming. First it was at Safra Country Club, then Jurong Swimming Complex and the best was last friday's trip to Sentosa.

Since it was the school's weeks' break, "S" brought her 3 younger girl cousins. The 3 are sisters and they are so cute and we love, especially, Little Yaya. She is a brave 3yrs old. She's simply a girl any parent would love to have- didn't cry , no complaints , plays on her own and best of all, she is not afraid of water!

Everyone had fun on that day. Kev bought a big float and the tiny arm float thingy for little Yaya.. She is simply so adorable.. just look at the photo and u know what i mean :) Posted by Picasa

I shall not dwell on it again...

The last time, we had a class gathering was ending of last semester, and i was not exactly totally involved in the committee as i was not able to attend any meeting because of clashed time-table with the meetings.

Majority of my classmates did not turn up, simply because most of us are not interest, had other personal plans, or just chose not to mingle with other class groups. And because of the poor head counts from my class, my leader and i, was "bluntly blamed" for not effectively organising the group to come. Was it totally my fault?

As the person said " i bluntly blamed siti and W", her face turned red and her words were shaken. Everyone else was shocked to hear and see her acted in that manner. She also mentioned about offering apology.

On the other hand, she didn't know what was happening and how difficult i have to apologise to our mentor, on behalf of my group. And there she went, blaming me!
Eh.. after u have realised that i was not at fault after i gave the class an explanation and well accepted by all, where's the apology for bluntly blaming me openly in class?

Last thursday, i was picked to get things organised for a farewell gathering to be held on the last day of this final semester, together with another classmate,J.

I wanted to say this in class, " i think i am not fit to be the one to organise the gathering.. cos do not want to be bluntly blamed again if i fail to get pple to come."

In other words, let the one who had bluntly blamed me, be the one to organise the gathering, since she thinks that she can do the job better or more efficiently... At that momont, i just felt like wanting to get even with her for the last time! hahaha .really.. sincerely, i wanted to do that..but my i got no heart to do so la...don't want to ruin the good thursday morning... nevermind la.. let her win..Make her happy .. no sweat, small matter.. let it go...

i thought u know who i am

dear friend,

How can i make u understand that at times i do certain thing for a reason. My behaviour or action may not be acceptable to others but i did not expect it coming from you too. Thought u know me so well to understand why i choose to be caught in such a situation. I bear no grudges against you but if u feel that u want to keep your distance to reflect, i respect your decision.. But the time u took to reflect has passed over due till we no longer speak and mingle like before.

And i am still not sure by what u mean by me not being sincere to others? If i wasn't as sincere as you thought i should be, i would not be the first to confront you. You have seen me do "insincere" things or things which I hate to do, but my actions, be it good or bad.. It has always been for the best interest of others, or a win-win situation. But if you view it differently, then I have nothing to say. Guess, I do not know you well enough too.

Now, whenever I do or say things, no matter how sincere I want it to be, it no longer matter to you. My sincerity is being questioned.

Knowing and being close to you has never been a mistake though, because i know that i can get along well working with you. To me, what has happened here are mere misunderstanding. I had said my apology and now I don't know what to do.

Yours sincerely..
