taking time out to blog a little.

i realised. i'm NOT THE ONLY ONE who gets emotional during work, i'm not the only one that has soft spots and gets sensitives on certain issues.

6th week into ANE. getting used to the life there, the routine, the workload, the extremes breakhours.

just imagine. lunch at 10am, (if its 7-2.30) dinner at 3pm, (if its 2-9.30). who else has got ths kinda timing??! but then again. i know its tough up there in the ward too. esp now when we are in the mist of H1N1.

with the de-con of TTSH, its gonna get worse. the outdoor extention for suspected H1N1 is ready, in use. being the only hospital in the east, naturally we take in ALL the cases in the east. and north east too.

more work, more ot, more money = no life.

it has been work, work n more work.

i feel comforted when i know people believe my innocence without me having to explain myself. people do have eyes to see. it doesnt bother me even if u dun acknowledge my presence. cause i don't need it. i have what u obviously don't possess. HR skills.

i am tired. how come my off day doesnt seem to come.. =((

alrights. its the end of week 5 in ED.

starting my M, A shifts next week, no more D! yay!! worth the celebration man. but at the same time, its time to start training up man. Mr Koh registered me to rn 5.4 cross country! sian. and M.M is not running! =((

then again. can't blame her.

good n bad. ED had been alright so far other than that one episode this week that made me broke down. quite bad la. i really, tolerated, swallowed my tears into my stomach, until sister finished talkin, i walked back to OBS n started tearing at one corner. good thing, ppl do care. happen that the people there at that time were all the seniors, n thank God for favour. they really cared for me, feel the injustice n fought for me to work with the seniors rather than with her. to me, i dowan to mention about it, n i chose not to tell anyone about it. its only when they asked that i said. but news spead fast man. i was on D that day, the following mornin when i came, like half the ED knows about it. ppl come to show concern, asked if i'm alright. i think i made the right decision in controlling my temper. because i chose to control my temper, n let it go, it reflected well on myself, n it reflected even worse on her.

its so interesting how i meet familier people!

like wendy, like shazana, they are my seniors! same sec sch! n we ended up being colleagues. n, making friends with doctors are right! i no longer have to see GP to get meds for my migraine, just ask the MO to autograph for me! hahaha. opps.

and yes, that wierdo.

haiya, for goodness sake. if u are really interested in me, come up to tell me n ask for my number personally. don go round askin my seniors to help u when i don even know which one is you. don expect me to stare at nametag n find out who u are. i don have the time n mood to do so, because my patient's life is more impt than finding out who u are. alrights? =)

i've been eating lesser. n lesser. partially work related. haix. even matt says i need to eat more! gonna discipline myself to at least drink milo before M shift! my eating hours are wierd la. lunch at 10am, dinner at 4pm. how seh. neither here nor there. n im sick of the hosp food. sometimes i wish someone would just deliver me home cooked food. =(( just simple porriage with egg also can.

its 3 weeks into ANE. this is the 4th.

2 more weeks of day shift. i hate day shift. takes up my entire day! functioning better, faster. getting a hang of it. in an environment like that. i am FORCED to be a fast learner. picking up things quickly, moving faster, being more sensitive in my hearing, more vigillant about changes. and of course, learning more drugs than ever before.

some are nice, some just teach in a tougher way. politics, i'll stay out of it. doctors, some talk rubbish all the time, some treat u lik eone of them (caus they are new n often need ur help too! ) yet some, are just training me to be a better person, person of more tolerance in a tougher manner.

the toughest thing for me? death. emotionally, it gets a little too overwhelming, esp when the deceased is a loved one of someone i know. like today. its one of my fellow cohort colleague's uncle, and also my ex-classmate's dad.

another thing. working with people that doesnt respect this profession. i guessed many were shocked at my outburst. esp the SSNs. they thought i will never raise my voice! then again, to them, i'm a soft spoken, person of not many words. i have no idea why. i think NC Mayuree felt my frustration. she took her on one-to-one tution that afternoon. teach her how to do basics and at least familarize her a little more. that was the day the SSNs were looking at me, smiling smiling n then burst out into laughter. even the senior consultant got a shock, he peeped in.

tolerance. i need to have more tolerance.

aiming for confirmation within 3months. its comin to the end of the first month. almost completing the orientation checklist. i wonder if she started on it alr. the only thing i noticed is she's v v enthuestic n concerned about keying in her temperature everyday. ahahaha.

graduation updates!

HUIPING AND ME!
my buddy for 3yrs! ahaha. the one the never fails to psycho me to buy things! yeah, n the one that will 带头. very often, of the 3, she's the one that leads. i really enjoy working with u la. you always know what i wan in projects! haha. chill out at ur "fav place" soon k?
