Should I or should I not blog about my trip to the Soul of Asia - South Korea??

People. HOLA from Busan Gimhae Airport.

Today is my 4th day of my Korea Backpack Tour. So far we're fine even though things really dont go well as how we planned. First, we had trouble finding our hostel in Seoul then we missed our train to Busan by 5seconds, thirdly we alighted at the very wrong station when we arrived at Busan and have to walked miles with our backpack to find out hostel, then we didnt know Gimhae Airport is not 24 hours service and lastly my flight to Jeju was delayed for 1 hour.

We need to spend more than what we expected because of the last minutes changes.

Well, what can I say? Life is indeed not a bed of roses, things happened out of our expectations, I learned lessons from it, and I'm more prepared for the next unexpectations.

Pray for us as we embark on our journey to Jeju, one of the 7 natural wonders in the world.

Hi people, I had just started my two weeks break today.

I'm off for vacation. And even though it's a shopping vacation with my girlfriend, I hope that God can guide me all the way, protect me, and show me the direction to which path I should take.

I hope that this trip can re-charge my passion for nursing. Sometimes, a short break is what we need in order to find out what we want most, or what God wants us to do.

A kissed goodbye to my readers :)

For two days I worked for 9 hours straight without proper meals, proper drinks and not even the chance to go to toilet!!!

Last week, the ward was exceptionally quiet; it made me even more suspicious what’s happening. But sweet times always ends early, this week we’re back to the hectic workload, even worse than before.

The only snack I had was Jacob biscuit. I sneaked into the pantry and put one in my pocket, sharing it with my other colleagues, while preparing medications. While my colleague made a quick run to the vending machine outside to buy us coffee, but by the time I had lil spare time to take sips of my coffee, it already turned cold.

Patient A

Had heart bypass done, on telemetry monitoring. I received call from ICU telling me that the patient is having fast premature ventricular contractions and heartbeats are very irregular. There and then I need to call up the cardiologist, (even though I was half way serving my meds, we need to prioritize what is important, and anything regarding the heart is important).

True enough, I know Dr M is very hard to be reached. So I need to call the cardiac surgeon instead when Dr M did not pick up his phone. Dr T the cardiac surgeon ordered to do a potassium blood test and to run IV KCL slow. Remarks * KCL aka potassium chloride can cause cardiac arrest if given too fast

Patient B

Is to be discharged. So I need to off the abdominal drain connecting to the suction bottle and clean the wounds and also all the nonsense discharge procedure.

Patient C.

Kidney transplant done. She’s pretty fine to me except she cant pour water herself, I don’t know maybe her hands are made of gold or what, she wants the nurse to pour water for her, to bring her out of bed. Even though you may think this is ridiculous, but to me, she’s actually not that troublesome to me, all her nonsense I am still able to take it.

Patient D

He had been on fluids for days and when the doctor finally allows him to eat; he pressed the call bell for nothing except for food. I told him to go slow with his intake of food still he swallow up everything, despite the fact I told him if things go wrong he might back to square one he still want more food more food. Urghhhh.

Patient E

Transferred in from ICU. Had burr hole drainage done, meaning the doctor drill a hole at his head to drain out the excess blood that cause pressure onto his brain. Neurological wise he’s doing fine, he’s one fine patient to me as well.

……

Other interesting stories?

Hmm Patient Z had heart bypass done, ICU rushing to send him to general ward, and when he was transferred to us, he was on Ativan Img BD!! I was oh ohhh… wayang sure happened!! True enough, he stared to get so damn restless, trying to jump off the bed, shouting and cursing other people. It took four of us to pressed him down. We called in the medical officer and need to transfer him back to ICU again. I heard the ICU stuff got a nice blasting from doctor because this patient is so not fit to send to general ward yet they send it to us.

And in the midst of mass, I need to be the translator for doctors, pharmacist and for my colleagues as well. Initially was ‘讲华语！！！！。。。。then malay..And even Japanese!!! Haha but I like the jap thou, it was something new to me, I tried to use my very limited Japanese to communicate with my patient. Okay it goes something like this..sorry I can’t type jap..i’ll just type like this

Me : kyowa jibun no kusuri o nomimashitaka?

Patient :eeii nomimasen

Me : jya, jibun no kusuri wa doko desu ka?

Patient : Sochi

Me : koko?

Patient : hai

Me: hmm, jibun no kusuri ima nomimase mo daijoobu yo

Patient: yisyuukan yikai nomimasu

Me: hontto? Senshui no do yoo bi?

Blablabalbla

Fine actually I wasn’t in charge of this patient, because my colleague cant understand at all, so SOS to me.

And after my work I need to attend stupid seminar til 4.30pm. Meaning from 6am til 4.30pm I did not have any proper meal nor drink!!!!

2011-09-06T09:42:00.000+08:00

Oppssss, just realized my blog is so dead!!!! Time for some update… I’ll just keep it short and sweetttt.

Recently we had one patient transferred to my ward. In fact it was downgraded from executive ward to a normal single room. But still they want to be treated like a VIP. Oh kissssss my asssssssss. They are really pain in the ass, whoever that went inside the room will come out with a sour face. Doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, butler etc.

Even thought the patient has two private nurses from their country but they are good for nothing. They will come out one by one asking for the same thing. No matter how many time we explained we already faxed down the medication, you cant expect it to BOOM appeared in front of us there and then. The pharmacist needs time to prepare as well, dispatch needs time to dispatch the medication as well. Ahhh their brains are really good for nothing.

“do you have needles and nails? I feel like poking them” haha this is quoted from one of the doctors!! Imagine, even the doctors cant take it. And I can still clearly remember the physiotherapist’s facial expression when she came out from the room, CLASSIC haha.

No offence but nowadays, my own country people are also getting on my nerve… Malaysians are getting fussier!!! What the hell is wrong with you guys??

Anyway, I cant wait for my annual leave to come!!! 3 more weeks and I’ll be off for vacation with my best friend!! 25^th September come quickkkkkkkkk!!!

2011-07-22T09:43:00.000+08:00

Interesting story to share with people out there.

Appendectomy can be one of the easiest operations to perform but it can always be one of the nastiest cases ever!!

Some of you out there may have appendicitis before and underwent appendectomy.

Mr X, male 25 from XX country. He flew in from his country with a perforated appendix!! The highlight was the appendix already been perforated for 1 whole freaking week!! I cant imagine how he can stand the pain and also what the stupid own country doctor cant even diagnose that!!

They need to call in 3 surgeons to scrub in his operation. 3 surgeons for appendectomy?? You can imagine how nasty that was!!

Anyway one of the surgeons told us she has never seen this bad case before, and when they open him up on the table they have no idea what to do, the perforation was so bad that all the infection and inflammation has gone into the bloodstream, travelling to his whole body. They have no idea where to cut him, and eventually they have no choice but to cut off his guts.

Mr. X was sent to ICU after the operation. A simple appendicitis ended up with NG tube and abdominal drain. And the ‘best’ part was, he has ileus and he wont be able to eat for the rest of his life!!!! Dude he’s only 25!!! He will have to depend of NG tube feeding!!!

So people, don’t look down on appendicitis!!!

‘ Is a miracle that this guy can survive’ quoted from one of his doctors.

我真的有点累了

原来我比我自己想象的还要脆弱

我不知道我还能撑多久，只知道自己真的开始后悔，开始问自己为什么要进护理系

人生短暂，我又为何要这样的天天过日子呢？

Nursing is this country is really not nursing. This is not the nursing I want, this is not the life I want. Life is short and unpredictable, so why should I be living this kind of life? Under nonsense stress everyday, dealing with shits that has nothing to do with nursing.

Seriously I would rather deal with real shits, as in those coming out from your anus than those nonsense shits.

Can somebody tell me what to do?

2011-06-23T13:35:00.000+08:00

I got myself into troubles again. And the most idiotic reason was – simply because two doctors couldn’t agree on the same treatment!!

Few days ago, my patient’s condition deterioted, and the team need to rush the patient to ICU.

The next things I know, the patient refused to pay for the extra charges, hence, the idiotic clinic nurse wrote in to customer service, accusing me that I did not serve medication on time and thus the patient’s condition deterioted. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!!!

FYI, patient’s condition is not that stable since few days ago, we noted to the doctor regarding this but they all will just said ahhhh is okay nvm blablablabla, and now look what happened?

Doctor A – serve this medication

Doctor B- do not serve this medication

Cant these few jackass doctors come to one conclusion?? And really FUCK the clinic nurse for having nothing to do but find fault in me. I really feel like slapping the idiot CHINA clinic nurse, I feel like shouting at her stop wearing your fugly leggings and PLEASE go for fashion class!!!!

And also to my stupid ward sister ‘ thank you for not standing by my side in times of troubles, thank you for hiding in your office and not helping me this freshbie.’

To the rest of my team, thanks for helping me in transferring patient to ICU. Thank god I have a great team that morning otherwise I couldn’t have done it. The doctor only knows how to shout at us ‘TRANSFER THE PATIENT DOWN TO ICU NOW NOW NOW’ But little did he knows there are so many things need to be done.

Nurse A – Called up ICU urging to book a bed

Nurse B – helped me to settle the portable oxygen tank and all the IV drips

Butler – yes even the kitchen butler helped me to push the bed down to ICU

As for me, the doctor kept shouting for medication, I need to prepare all the emergency medication in the midst of mass and.

Yesterday night another emergency case that needed to be transfer down to ICU as well, and also the idiot doctor kept shouting at me, ‘PUSH THE BED NOW NOW NOW’ ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

2011-05-27T00:09:00.000+08:00

2011-05-14T17:26:00.000+08:00

No offense I just can seem to bring myself to like or love Bangladesh people. I’m sorry if this statement of mine offended you; if you feel offended then you may leave and not read the following post.

I’m working night shift again and so happen these two Bangladeshi women got admitted to the same two bedded room. HELL. In my opinion, if people from that not so rich country are able to fly all over the way to seek treatment in my hospital means they are really somebody over the there hence, they really treat you like a dog.

I really do wonder how nurses over there work. The Bangla people will never use the word PLEASE instead they sort of DEMAND you to do things for them. Back to the story, these two bangla women are competing to see who is sicker at night ha-ha. Both of them will kept pressing the call bell nonstop and when you go in to the room they will make some kind of really disgusting moaning sounds… uhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhh.

I was what the f? You pressed the bell so that I can see how you moan? JC!! They will give you the face like ohhh I’m going to die soon…. Uhhhhhhh….. and both of them kept talking to me in bangla!! I DON’T SPEAK FREAKING BANGLA SO STOP TALKING TO ME IN BANGLA FOR CHRIST’S SAKE!! At one point I really feel like speaking malay to them. “BOLEH TUTUP MULUT KAU A?”

“sister….uhhh….cough…no sleep…. Uhhh how??? Uhhhhh”

In my mind “tell your doctor, don’t tell me” but dude use your freaking tiny good for nothing mind okay? You just had a major operation and you expect to get sweet night dreams after that? Heard of jet lag?? That’s why you guys sleep late LAR. And the coughing? They inserted ETT tube while you were on the table remember?? So it’s expected to have side effect!!

But no point explaining to them, they will still keep pressing the call bell and ask the freaking same question again.

Another complains from me. Nowadays some doctors are just so stupid. Sorry to say this, they just don’t use their mind. Dude I studied nursing not medicine, so we’re working in different scope, get your job done and stop blaming on the nurse.

Some doctors will blame the nurses for not reminding them to prescribe medicine. I was like what the hell?? Is reminding the doctors to prescribe medicine also my job? I’m not paid to remind the freaking doctors to do their job.

2011-05-10T01:24:00.000+08:00

LOL Code Green in my ward??

It’s not surprising to have code green in ward 14 but my ward? Hahahaha

Code green meaning we have patient turns violent and need help from the securities. Ward 14 is a psychiatric ward so it’s pretty common to have code green. But few days ago, one of my patients turned violent after having the sedation.

Sedation is supposed to help one to calm down or sleep but this patient got the very opposite effect, he turned so violent that my night staff couldn’t handle him and they need to initiate code green and borrow binder from ward14 to tie the patient up.

Something for you to know –

CODE BLUE = Patient asystole, no more heart beat, once code blue initiated, the code blue team from ICU will run to the ward, along with the anesthesia on call. Meaning, haha time to do CPR.

CODE GREEN = Patients turn violent, securities guards will come; they are the macho man that help you to hold the patient.

CODE RED= FIRE….. so far I have only experienced code red once, that was during my student nurse time, the funny part was seeing the guards holding water pipes running to the affected area.

Well, today, it was my first time sort of prayed for my patient. I’m not sure whether I’m allowed to do so but when the calling is there, I just did it there and then.

A patient of mine having bloody stool for the past few days, the doctors cant really figure what was happening and they have to do angiogram once again this evening. It was an emergency angiogram. I was cleaning the patient’s shit when one of the doctors came in and noticed the existing problem, he ordered for Hb blood test stat and true enough the patient’s haemoglobin was low, so one pint pack cell to transfuse asap and we had to arrange for a last minute angiogram.

Once the radiology department is ready, I had to send my patient down. While waiting for the radiologist to come, I went over to the patient; informing him I need to go back to the ward and trying to tell him to relax. But the uncle’s face is so worried, I felt so sorry for him, knowing he’s a Christian; I just hold his hand and said a little prayer for him.

‘ Do not be afraid for our heavenly Father is always with us, he lives in us, within us and he sends angels to guard over us. Everything happens for a purpose, there must be reason why you are here, God always has his plans, plans to prosper us and not to harm us. All we need to do is just commit ourselves to him, trust that he’s always there for us’

I really do hope that this prayer works for this uncle.

2011-05-02T13:55:00.000+08:00

Working in a private hospital it’s harder than you can ever imagine. It actually has politic issues going on just like the normal office. It has its own dark secret which I cant reveal much to the public but when I’m working in this kind of environment, I find it to be scary and disturbing.

Recently something serious happened, not to say serious more of stupid I think. When things go wrong, some doctors will try to blame it on the nurses. This particular doctor even told the family members that it was the nurses’s fault and now they refused to pay for the bill.

So who’s going to pay for it? Our cost centre, meaning no bonus for us. SHIT.

We all know the true story, but we don’t have proof to support us. So the smart doctor caught our weak spot and blames it on us.

One of my colleagues that are involved in this incident is waiting for an official statement from the doctor. This particular doctor is smart enough to tell the family member that it was nurses fault but has no guts to release an official statement to blame my colleague. Because he cant face the fact that is was also part of his mistake.

Anyway my colleague is ready to seek legal advice if the doctors release official statement to her.

So lesson I learnt from this incident is – DOCUMENTATION

To be sarcastic, nursing care is f***king not important compared to documentation. So let’s say is you’re my patient, I will just sit down and document everything, ohh you pass motion this morning, ohh you having shortness of breath. Well I will just document down but I wont clean the shit for you and I don’t give a damn to how breathless you are as long as I document down.

See the stupidity behind it?

Nowadays we hardly spent time with patients because the nurses have toooooo much paper works to do, DOCUMENT DOCUMENT DOCUMENT. No point saying you’ve done something but you didn’t document it down, no black and white to support yourself.

STUPID IDIOT TEORY

2011-04-28T10:09:00.001+08:00

Let’s continue the story of my previous post.

Remember the nincompoop patient? He complained that the nurses disturb him too much. Darn!! I explained to him he had just underwent a major surgery, kidney transplant FYI, of course we need to monitor his hourly urine output and he just transferred from intensive care unit, close monitoring is a must, and no doubt we need to check on him frequently.

And this stupid man requested me to write down on a paper what time who will come in, why coming in so that he can be ‘mentally prepared’?

Oh man… really F*** this guy!! He even so called suggests me to do everything one shot and don’t disturb him for example serve all the medication, check the urine blablabla in one shot.

USE YOUR FREAKING COMMAN SENSE FOR GOD’S SAKEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

All medication have different life span, and I cant just serve blindly, if you want to put your life on danger that’s your problem but don’t put MY career on hot soup okayyyy? So what if you’re the CEO of some freak-o company? Then I can say I’m the PRINCESS of my parents!!

IDIOTIC ISNT IT?

And the Vietnamese patient? She ended up going for another emergency operation for exploration of her bladder.

2011-04-27T10:50:00.003+08:00

Human beings are really special species. It’s hard to understand them. Everyone has their one characteristic; some are just really really weird.

Patient A.

I checked his blood sugar level, it was sky high and according to the sliding scale I need to give him 18 units of Actrapid. So after I prepare everything, went to his bedside, he asked me how many units am I injecting him, so nicely I told him 18 units.

“No, you give me only 15 units will do.”

“Sorry sir, according to the sliding scale written by your doctor, I need to give you 18 units and I can’t simply alter for you.”

“No, no, you tell doctor I only want 15 units.”

“Your doctor is well aware of you uncontrolled blood sugar level, that’s why he wrote down the sliding scale for nurses to refer.”

“NO, I KNOW MY BODY BETTER THAN YOU”

F*** THIS PATIENT!!!!!! I was like, if you know your body better, go heal yourself at your home and don’t come to the hospital for heaven’s sake!!!

Such a stubborn nincompoop!!!

At the end, I backed off and called up his doctor. FYI, I need to take a deep breath before calling the doctor because he is well known of scolding nurses through the phone. Thank god the doctor was in good mood, so he just said give 18 units no matter what. HA-HA

I went back to the patient’s room with confidence and told him at his face that I called the doctor, informed him about the blood sugar level, and no bargain, 18 units!!!! And he had no choice but to accept it, ish I should have jabbed him harder!! But being a nice hypocrite nurse, I still gently jab the insulin into his abdomen with politeness.

I know… I can win the best hypocrite nurse ever!!

Sometimes I really do wonder is the hospital I’m working really that famous???? We have patients flying in all over the world to seek treatment in my hospital. We have Japanese, Russian, Vietnamese, Burmese, Bangladeshi, Indian, UAE, Indonesian etc. Most of them are foreigners, some can’t even speak English for nuts and I cant imagine myself going to a country that I couldn’t speak understand their language at all and what’s more to seek medical treatment??

We had a Vietnamese patient came in for kidney transplant, and I felt bad for not understanding what’s she saying but I know DAO DAO DAO.. means pain, but I didn’t know she was really in that great pain, the doctors even though of referring her to psychiatric until she starts hitting her private part until it bleeds and the vulva got so swollen!!

And when the doctor did a last minute bladder washout, the outcome was bloodly blood clots!! Heavy blood clots like rebenna jelly!! And when my colleague and I saw the blood clot, our mouths went wide open and was like no wonder she’s in such a great pain!! After the procedure, we put her to continuous bladder washout with full blast and that was the first time since the surgery she slept like a baby.

2011-04-22T22:52:00.002+08:00

Its Good Friday today. And I want to say thanks to one of my colleagues for kept reminding me today is GOOD Friday.

Today was busy as usual. But whenever I starts to complain, he will kindly remind me today is Good Friday, emphasizing on GOOOOD Friday. He repeatedly reminded me few times.

Because of his encouraging words I was able to pull through today. Because I know no matter how busy, how shitty, how mad I was, all these are nothing compared to what really happened today 2000 years back at Calvary.

Yet again, tomorrow will be a whole new challenge to me again. All I can pray is please let me enjoy while working, enjoy what I’m doing, be focus in whatever I do, just let me feel happy.

I am still able to hold on because I know GOD is always there for me.

And I simply could never ever imagine my life without Him.

Double tomorrow again, praying hard!!!

2011-04-20T23:39:00.000+08:00

Even though I’m not a fortune teller but I’m pretty sure no should be.. very goddamn sure tomorrow will be an idiotic mad house day!!

Why?

It really much depends on who you’re working with.

My partners for tomorrow are lazy bumps, they don’t answer call bell, and they just sit on the chair and order others to do things for them.

Unfortunately I’m working with them tomorrow.

Extra shit? I’m working double shift tomorrow.

I know tonight will be another sleepless night for me. I always have insomnia before my double shift; I always think too much about what will happen on my double shift because I’m a jinx on double shift.

Shits just happened.. Always happened on my double shift no matter how hard I pray

Maybe I should really listen to C’s word. FASTING AND PRAY. haha

2011-04-15T13:18:00.002+08:00

I seriously think its time for me to take a short break from work. But still, my next annual leave is end of May, one and a half month to go, I’ve been praying for that day to come. I don’t care how I’m going to spend my holidays as long as I take a break from work.

It’s a tiring job.

I’ve been using alcohol and spending money on shopping to numb myself from the stress but all these can only halt my feelings for a short while.

The more I push myself the more I ended up with more mistakes and scolding from work.

Even though I prayed hard that everything will go on smoothly, shits will still happened.

I’m really desperate and in need of peace, I don’t want money from OT, now I just want peace, I don’t mind working overtime without pay, just give me peace throughout the day, let me be happy while working instead of fear.

I’ve started my night shift yesterday and yet I cant fall asleep after work because my mind is fully occupied by the mistakes I’ve done.

Why did I not look carefully, yes I did looked carefully at the regime, but why did I not question the infusion rate?

Why did I pass report in such a messy way ended up got scolding from my senior, why cant I just slow down and pass in details?

Why cant I remember whether I changed the IV bag for the bladder washout, when my colleague questioned me, I just stared blankly at him and cant believe I actually forgot did I or did I not hook up the IV bag?

What is wrong with me? Why cant I be more focus?

I did not sleep the whole night during my shift but kept checking on the case notes still mistakes happened.

Can you imagine I’m carrying more and more fear to work as day goes by?

Its been almost five months since I last took a break from work. I need vacation, I need to be free from work, I just want to breathe without fear again. Is that too much?

2011-04-11T11:24:00.004+08:00

No matter how perfect you tried to be, you won’t be able to achieve it because God did not create a perfect human being in this world.

But in the medic world, you need to, you have to be perfect. No mistake can be done, as mistake can’t be rewind in the medic world. What harm was done is done, no turning back, it could even costs a life to be taken.

I hate the fact that I’m working in this kind of world.

Maybe antidote can be found, but the consequence behind it is unbearable.

Yesterday was Sunday, I was working morning shift. Sunday morning supposed to be a Sabbath day, quiet and peaceful, even though I didn’t get to go to church because I was working but still Sunday morning means a lot to me.

But yesterday morning was like hell to me. I’ve never been that busy in a Sunday morning. I was in charge was the 3^rd slot, again it was full house on my side, 6 patients was under my care. Yea you may think what only 6 patients?

Let me tell you this..

Morning medication is always the busiest, because a lot of medications need to be served on the morning dose, regardless of tablets, IV bolus, IV infusions, insulin injection, nebulizers etc. GOSH

PATIENT A

80 years old man who underwent heart bypass, on oxygen 3liter, chest tube to passive drainage, indwelling catheter insitu.

He was under 3 different doctors, cardiac surgeon, cardiologist and anesthetist. 3 of them came at different time and gave different orders, all need to be carried out asap.

Order 1 : send the patient down to xray department to do a CXR as patient is developing a lot of phlegm. It’s a Sunday morning, I need to post the order via SAP system, and call up the radiologist on call regarding this matter. Then I need to call a porter to send the patient down via bed as patient is unable to even sit up yet.

Order 2 : changed of IV antibiotic and nebulizers, need to fax down to pharmacy asap but as usual yesterday was Sunday, not enough pharmacist, and my medication came back late I was forced to delayed my medications.

Order 3: patient need to be attended by physiotherapist to do chest and limb physio, tried to call up the physiotherapist on call umpteen times, no one answer!!

Order 4: off central venous line and indwelling catheter. Offing an indwelling catheter can be done within seconds but to off a central venous line, means pulling out the line from the jugular vein, you need to prepare a dressing trolley, clean the wound using aseptic technique, cut the stitch, pull the CVL out and press on the wound for minutes, for this uncle I need to press even longer as he was on aspirin and plavix, both are blood thinner, so his blood clotting factors are slow….. I need to stand there and press really long and covered the wound with tegederm then instructed patient to lie flat for one hour.

Ahh and also I ran down to the pharmacy as this patient was on a kind of controlled drug and we don’t have any ward stock anymore and I need to go down personally to get the controlled drug for him.

PATIENT B

A late forties man who supposed to go for laparoscopic cholecystectomy but ended up did an open cholecystectomy instead. He was on oxygen 4 liter and one redon drain on full suction.

In short: HE IS A PAIN IN THE ASSSSSSSSSS

He acted like a huge giant baby; he is fat and lazy to move. His hobby is to press the bell nonstop and ask stupid questions!!!

He needed to be attended by physiotherapist also because he was so lazy to move that his lungs couldn’t function well, which contributes to all the shortness of breathes and fever. Plus he was a heavy smoker!!

Ahhh I hope he can be discharged ASAP!!! He could have been a simple case to me but the fact that he presses the call bell so much makes me so pissed!!

PATIENT C

A 24 years old guy who underwent craniotomy, removal of frontal lobe brain tumor. Waiting to be discharged, but again the doctor gave me headache. To cut the story short, it was all about to shave the rest of his hair or not to shave his hair.. ahhh I’m not a barber for heaven’s sake.

The doctor came late, and it was a Sunday, the ward clerk was not working so I need to do all the discharge procedure by my own, including faxing down the LC to business office, do all the billing, make the appointment when to see doctor blablabla.

PATIENT D

A 50 years old man who underwent cystoscopy and TURP. He was an okay patient for me, just that he was on continuous bladder washout so from time to time I need to monitor his return flow of urine to make sure it’s clear instead of blood stained urine.

PATIENT E

A 40 years old lady who underwent pancreatectomy. She was also an okay patient for me, just that because she was only on sips on water so the IV drip finished very fast and I need to prepare it from time to time.

PATIENT F

AHHHH this patient. A 50 years old man admitted for post chemo nausea and vomiting, no operation down for him in short he is a medical case, heaven knows why he ended up in our surgical ward. Anyway, as usual medical case has a lot of complicated medication to be served.. It took me hours to finish serving his medication, plus he was on hourly eye drop!!! Urghhhhhh

And we had an emergency case yesterday morning as well, it was my colleague’s patient, he was having profuse bleeding that he lose so much blood and he began to lose consciousness, I was actually serving medications to my patient but I had to go and help out. One was setting up oxygen tank for him, one was checking his vital signs, one pushing the trolley, one making arrangement with the Operation Theater and blood bank, and another went to press and hold the lift for us so that we can send the patient down asap.

And I got scolding from my senior for not focusing enough. I was like excuse me? I did not even go for my toilet break or lunch and kept working, she didn’t even help me and yet she said I’m not focus enough? Super pissed off!!

WHAT A GREAT SUNDAY MORNING!!!

2011-04-10T17:04:00.001+08:00

I got drunk the night before yesterday. As in really drunk. I can’t remember how the hell I managed to walk back home.

My roommate got the shock of her life when she saw me.

Still I’m too embarrassed to ask her what really happened that night.

All I can remember was I was mumbling nonstop, cried like a baby and vomited twice in the toilet.

The hangover effect lasted for 24 hours.

Now I know my limit, no more than 1.5liter of alcohol.

2011-04-06T10:58:00.003+08:00

NO GOOD!!

I'VE BEEN SPENDING LIKE MAD CRAZY WOMAN

THIS IS SO NOT GOOD!!

S.O.S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2011-03-30T12:24:00.003+08:00

Hmm this is what I like about working OT in Singapore. You get paid more and it's in SGD haha.

I like it even more when its convert to Ringgit Malaysia

I'm earning almost RM2k from my overtime for only couple of days.

Pro? I'm rich za bo

Cons? My legs get amputation sooner or later

Conclusions? Its a mix feeling

2011-03-23T13:43:00.003+08:00

Now I finally realize the importance of friends.

I can’t imagine my life without them, their support, I love my friends!!

The very first day when I stepped in to the hospital, the nurse clinician told us it’s very important to have your friends supporting you when your family is not around. I thought how hard could my life be? The way the nurse clinician said as if nursing life it’s gonna be like burning hell, I basically smirked at his remarks.

But now I know I was wrong, so wrong.

I was holding on my working life until recently.

I’m starting to feel exhausted, my cells are draining out from my body, and not only am I feeling physically exhausted but also emotionally exhausted, I’m not sure how to put into words but you just feel as if some parts of you are dying away, you’re missing something important in life, you have no idea what’s wrong with you.

The day before yesterday I was doing morning shift after my double shift, can you imagine how tired it was. But after my morning shift I didn’t head back home straight to crash at my bed even though I was tired, I just needed friends to be with me, to chat with, to be there for me. My tiredness could not be relieved by sleeping; it can only relieve the physical tiredness but not the emotional part.

In the train, I rang up Rachel and Priscilla, so happened they were free so we met up. Thank god they were there for me; we chat and gave each other support and encouragement. Even though it was just a cup of tea and dinner at hawker centre but the happiness within me was really indescribable. The friendship booster dose helps a lot.

And yesterday, the 3 RNs in A side were doing double shift again, Elavia, Cyrilla and I. First time in my life I felt as if I cant walk anymore, I did not take my lunch and dinner whole day plus I had period pain and worse still twice I tried to go to the restroom to change my pad but unsuccessful. Why? On my way out to the toilet, we had patient coming back from operation, the OT ferry team is here, I have no choice but to turn back and receive the case, examined the patient, go through the doctor’s order and carrying out them and finish up the damn report.

The three of us were running up and down. But thank god again for the both of them, even though we were really zombie by the end of the day, we tried to crack jokes to keep ourselves awake and alert.

I’m double again tomorrow; I just hope I have good team members to work with not the lazy bums.

2011-03-19T22:48:00.002+08:00

I just came back from a 14 hours shift and have no idea why am I still in front of the laptop instead of lying on my bed.

Anyway the ward is really short of staff, one went to UK for attachment, another one is having hospitalization leave, one is as usual taking MC, one just left for ICU, one is on annual leave blablabla but the only thing that we are not short of is PATIENTS!!!

So many pairs of kidney transplant recently, all I can think of is how much the doctor’s income for the operating that surgery. And I hate open heart bypass aka CABG, all I can pray is please do not code during my shift, please have heart beat when I’m around and do not go into asystole when I’m duty!!

Okay I need to get some rest; morning shift tomorrow and I have class to attend after my work. SHIT

2011-03-12T08:34:00.000+08:00

The ward was almost full house yesterday and we only have 3 RNs including me the baby RN. Can you imagine the craziness? With the nonstop call bell from the demanding patients, assholes doctors orders, zillions medications to be dished out on time, patients transfer in and out from ICU, admission kept calling for available bed…

Hello? Don’t they understand the meaning of FULL HOUSE? Unless you want to be build double decker in the ward.

I was so hungry but no time to eat. But I managed to swallow few bites within 5 minutes and that was my only break time within 8 hours.

You guys should really drop by my working place and experience the havoc going on when you have not enough staff and yet the authorities do nothing but kept accepting patients. Shit.

2011-03-06T21:46:00.002+08:00

Met some idiotic doctor who speak bad things about nurses in front of patients

Dont we nurses have pride? Do you think only you doctors have pride?

You operate the patients but we took care of them, cleaning their shits.

You only know how to place the order but we are the one carrying out them

You suck their money but we need to wipe their asses for you

Seriously gimme a break!!!!

2011-03-04T23:21:00.003+08:00

I'm a FOOL.

Such a FOOL.

Seriously... since when I became so dumb? And acting like an idiot?

I need to wake up from my dream and face the reality

FOOL ME!!!

2011-02-27T22:00:00.003+08:00

I'm having severe headache now until I feel nausea.

Another hard day at work.

SHIT

2011-02-26T23:04:00.002+08:00

No offense, I'm really into drinking beer nowadays. So dont get shock if you see me with a beer belly.

I even have cans of beer stocking up in the fridge for emergency purposes.

Another drinking session with Bash after work, San Miguel Beer is a pretty nice one.

Friends, you might not understand why I'm into alcohol.. tyring working with some assholes and you'll feel the stress.. which can only be relieved by alcohol.

Mark my words, I'm not lying over here.

2011-02-24T22:30:00.005+08:00

COLIN FIRTH

YOU SO DARN ROCK IN THE KING'S SPEECH

SO IS GEOFFREY RUSH!!!!!!!

by the way I'm spending and eating like nobody's business again, damn it.

2011-02-24T16:33:00.002+08:00

Today is another fucking idiot day. I know I shouldn't use the F word but that's the best I can think of.

Idiot idiot idiot

Shit is everywhere, practically every inch in my working place.

Thank God for alcohol, that's the only thing that can calm me down.

Hopefully tomorrow those people will stop fucking around and act like a responsible, sensible adult please for heaven's sake!!!

Fuck you too TBN for making my day a miserable one!!

2011-02-17T22:32:00.002+08:00

SHIT, I don't know why I'm on such a bad mood, my day really sucks today.

and what made me even frustrated is I dont even know why I'm so darn period.

maybe I think I know the real reason behind all these mood swings that has been going on all day but I just couldn't face it.

TBN went back today.

I think that's the real reason why I'm such an ass today

Plus I did the wrong wound dressing, that even sucks more.

Shit I need more alcohol!! I hate 7-11 for selling alcohol at such a unreasonable price.

I got this feelings tomorrow gonna be another shitty day for me.

2011-02-17T11:15:00.006+08:00

Natalie Portman

You So Rock In BLACK SWAN!!!!

2011-02-10T20:12:00.002+08:00

I've been day dreaming all these while...

It's time...

I think it's time

Time for me to wake up

And face the reality.

2011-02-09T08:45:00.002+08:00

I'm sick, having irritating sore throat and flu flu flu.

S.O.S

2011-02-07T09:29:00.002+08:00

Despite what I'm going through now, I think I still need to put aside my feelings and emotions and wish everyone a very Happy Chinese New Year!!!

Smile, and thank God for giving me another new day and hope that He can help me during this period of difficulties for He is always there for me without failings!!

S.M.I.L.E

2011-02-06T16:52:00.002+08:00

The feelings of five years ago is haunting me again, but I know I'm more prepared this time and I know I can get through this.

2011-02-01T09:26:00.003+08:00

You make me so confusing at times

I can never know what you're thinking

2011-01-31T21:50:00.002+08:00

I tried my best to smile this morning

I tried my best not to upset you again

Can you feel it?

2011-01-30T09:10:00.003+08:00

Mix feelings

Mix emotions

I dont know what I'm feeling now

Happy because of the truth?

Sad because of the truth?

Maybe it's just the alcohol effect?

2011-01-28T09:21:00.002+08:00

Met up with sis at Jurong Point yesterday

It's been awhile since we last met, so we ended up talking non stop at Bakerzine.

2011-01-26T22:44:00.003+08:00

I hate the fact that I miss you so much.

I hate the fact that I think of you so much

I hate the fact that you're part of my life now

I hate everything about you!!!

2011-01-24T21:44:00.004+08:00

I listen to jazz music

I prefer to text than to talk over the phone

I hardly put on make ups

I bite my fingernails whenever I’m bored or nervous

I like watching movie alone

I have phobia with animals, especially cats, I do wonder why god created them

I do housework but hardly

2011-01-23T23:03:00.001+08:00

Best evening concert ever by Mr. Darcy.

I love I love I love love love!!!

2011-01-22T22:40:00.002+08:00

Today is a peaceful day in ward.

How I hope everyday can be like this

2011-01-21T23:11:00.001+08:00

I was supposed to off today but was called back to work because shortage of staff and ward census was high.

Initially I was really reluctant but now it was totally worth it.

Reason?

I had lunch with Mr. Darcy

Totally worth it

2011-01-19T21:47:00.002+08:00

I'm happy, blessed and blissed.

One perfect evening yesterday :)

xoxo

2011-01-16T22:11:00.001+08:00

I could have gone drinking with Mr. Darcy tonight if only I didn’t pick up the annoying phone call!!

2011-01-16T09:35:00.005+08:00

Ahem need to do some corrections over here. Regarding my previous post..

Love life – so far mayyybe good :) keke, it’s for me to know and for you to guess.

Anyway yesterday was a total hell of a day for me so many things happened in the ward. I was so upset bout myself for making such a stupid mistake, and I’m also upset at my colleague for shouting at me.

I’m a human being, I know I did some stupid mistake but that doesn’t mean you can shout at me in front at the counter. You think I don’t have pride? I could have twisted my word and threw the responsibility on you because you were the one that in charge, I was just the runner around but I did not.

But what is done is done, I kept telling myself to learn from mistakes, to get over it. Urgh, working in a battlefield is certainly not easy.

hmm it's been awhile since I last drink. maybe tonight?

Adious..

2011-01-13T09:06:00.002+08:00

Okay, it’s time to update my dead blog.

Life – so far so good

Working Life – so far so maybe good

Love Life – so far no good

Haha short and sweet and you can know how my life in this kiasu land is.

Anyway I wasn’t in a good mood yesterday after got complaint from a patient. A really stupid one. I’m not going to elaborate much, who know’s my CEO reads my blog and get me fired.

So after work, I went drinking with Bash and Chris. We talked and talked for so long that we nearly missed the last train home. But it was nice hanging out at Orchard until midnight and you can see all sorts of people passing guy, gay, transsexual, garbage lady, and of course us, the normal drinking buddies.

Let’s hope the patient can get discharge today and hope she won’t file a complaint against the innocent me!!

2010-12-29T19:08:00.002+08:00

Hey people. Sorry for the super late update from me. Anyway I'm just going to say, I wont be updating that frequent anymore. Working life is no joke haha. If you want to know my latest news just keep track of my facebook!!!

2010-11-13T11:13:00.000+08:00

2010-10-28T08:45:00.002+08:00

Okay I’m currently in good mood, only god knows why ha-ha. Hmm is it because of the cute guy I met in the mrt on my way back from work? Hehe sorry for being vain over here but I just couldn’t get my eyes off him just now. C.U.T.E!!

Anyway I have couple of random photos snapped from my lousy nokia cellphone to be displayed in my blog since I have no other nice pictures to upload, hope ya guys don’t mind.

From Phone

Tadaa… this is a parcel from Liana all the way from KL, this parcel save my life in Singapore!! Hehe okay just in case you’re curious that is inside this parcel, it is actually just two sets of nursing uniform. I actually threw away my nursing uniforms right after I graduated but little did I know that I need to wear it for three months for my probation period in Singapore and only after that 3 months I’m allowed to wear my current hospital’s uniform. WTF??

Luckily Liana got her staff nurse uniform that time and she no longer needs her college uniforms anymore, so she pos laju it to me. Hehe totally save my life in Singapore otherwise I only have one uniform to wear!!

From Phone

Oh yeah people I’ve been to Hokkaido!! haha nah I’ve been to Hokkaido restaurant in ION Orchard. My friends treated me dinner for my 21^st birthday. They knew very well that I’m no-party type of person, so a simple dinner was just nice for me. The food was bearable, no second time for me ‘once beaten, twice shy’ haha okay the food was filled with msg, is Hokkaido food like that?? Anyway big thanks to Lims and Pipi for the dinner.

From Phone

Next, I’m currently addicted to Philippine dried mango. Ever since sis bought for us from Manila, I couldn’t help but nonstop eating, even my colleagues from Philippine bought me that went they went back.

This one from Sharon Baylon aka Bash

From Phone

This one from Malcom.

From Phone

Hajimemashite, watashi wa Hazel desu. Dozo yoroshiku.

Hehe yep, I’m currently taking up Japanese language, it really wasn’t easy, I think Korean is much easier to learn haha.

Take a look at my classroom, it can only fit around 20 students in one classroom because they have numerous classes running at the same time and my language school is the only one recognized by Singapore education blablabla I think hehe according to the website haha. And it’s the same one that bro attended so I think this school is pretty good since my bro is a very particular person so if he chooses this school means it has high standards haha.

From Phone

View from my classroom, yep, that’s ION, haha my school is located at Orchard as well, both my working and learning place is at Orchard, urgh.

From Phone

Isetan’s Mc Café, my usual hang out place after work with Bash. They played nice music :)

From Phone

Do you really think this pic will help?? Ha-ha

From Phone

Spotted this ultra cool guy beat boxing at Scott’s road. Bash and I were so impressed with his beat box skill, beesh-beep-papa-pupu-bob-pop.

From Phone

This is Gloria Jeans located at Tanjong Pagar. Had a drink with Hwee Chee after we did our work permit but sadly I’m not satisfied with Gloria jean’s drink.

From Phone

Okay maybe most of you have taken red wine before. But have you taken it up in the air? Hehe. While on my flight from Singapore to KL, my urge to drink alcohol arouse, so I ordered red wine. But my jaw dropped open wide when the flight attendant presented me my red wine, what??? I thought it was coke from afar, and when he gave me I was like that?? I thought it came with nice wine glass, not this type of glass. Mom was laughing at it as well.

From Phone

Anyway I made the wrong decision by ordering red wine. Red wine was supposed to take sips by sips, slowly to taste it but the flight from Singapore to KL only takes 45minutes so before I finished my red wine, the plane already landed on KL, I didn’t even have to time to finish it. Even though it was only SGD5 around RM11.5 per can, the taste was quite nice, I like the burning sensation at my throat as I drink it haha, good try.

That’s all for the day.

2010-10-20T23:04:00.002+08:00

Few days ago, I flew from Singapore to KL to attend my convocation. It was pretty nice meeting up with my old friends, I missed them so much!!!

Photos~~~

2010-10-09T08:41:00.000+08:00

人生就是这样。。黑白两面。。喜怒哀乐。。生死离别也不过如此。。

前几天一个打我开工第一天就已经躺在病床上的婆婆终究敌不过死神的搏斗。。。

做我这行的生生死死对我们来说已经麻木了。可是婆婆的死对我的打击不小。。

虽然说已经过了好几天但是当我每一次经过她以前的病床时都不禁的回想起她。。

看了她辛苦了五十多天。。真的不知道要为她高兴因为现在不再有痛苦。。还是说为她感到不值因为苦了那么久，终究还是走了

2010-10-05T11:36:00.002+08:00

Hey people it’s been awhile since I last update and I guess it’s time to blog.

Yes, I’ve settled down in Singapore. It’s not much different from my homeland since I visit Singapore quite often and pretty familiar with the surroundings, plus I have my sister and relatives here, they were all great help to me when I first moved here.

One month has passed; life is still pretty much the same. Of course working life is different, you get more responsible and stressed within the working field. But I’m fortunate to have great colleagues and I do pretty much look forward to my job. God’s blessing I guessed.

However, there’s still something that I don’t like. The food here can hardly be compared with my hometown, expensive and tasteless. It really troubles me when the thought of paying so much for food that is not delicious at all.

But… but, there’s one thing I truly like bout here. It’s the facilities they have, everywhere is just so convenient. Especially LIBRARIES. Malaysia can never beat Singapore on this matter.

I applied for the National Library member card once I got my work permit, even though I need to pay SGD50 every year but I still think it’s upmost worth it. The libraries here are everywhere, I’m fortunate to have one public library near my place, it’s just working distance. How great is that.

Since I’m on my own now, living and earning all by myself, I thought it’s time to really live the life that I want. I’ve always wanted to take up a foreign language, and guess what? I’m starting my first Japanese language lesson this Friday. I must say the fees are not cheap but if I were to look from another perspective, I think I’ll rather spent my hard earned money on something that is beneficial, something that can increase my knowledge rather than some other things.

I’m looking forward to everyday now; I’m blessed by what I have now. God is great, isn’t he?

Life’s a climb, but the view is great!!!

2010-08-17T18:25:00.004+08:00

Hey guys.. I'm currently preparing myself as I'm moving to the kiasu land next week and starts a new chapter of my life.

Random photossss

Lunch at Singapore Bugis Junction with sis

Accompanied mom to some concert, forgot the name of this concert, to be more specific, I was dragged by mom to this concert, I have ZERO interest in it, and I cant believe they made me sit on the floor!! Even Dong Bang Shin Ki's concert provides chair for me to sit!!! FYI, I was wearing my skinny leg jeans and 3 inch high heels. Luckily I brought along a book to read and I finished reading ' The Last Lecture' even before the concert starts.

Conclusion : I rather fork out 400bucks for another round of TVXQ's concert or Breakout Comedy Breakdance rather than this concert. And believe it or not, I nearly fell asleep despite the loud PA system, I yawned non stop throughout the whole concert haha, I think even the lady sitting beside me noticed that too haha

2010-07-20T11:11:00.001+08:00

I’m currently stuck in JB, thinking hard on what to do. I’ve finished planning trip on Macau, Hong Kong and Hangzhou and now left Shanghai, sis gonna plan on that and she’s really taking her own sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet time.

爱美是要付出代价

这句话果然不是盖的！！！

我今天为了想把自己变得漂亮一些些。。。

结果在发廊带了整个下午！！！！

换来的代价不是金钱，而是时间！！！

天啊，我坐到屁股都要生痔疮了！！

原本想跟发型师说可不可以快点。。想了想还是算了

毕竟慢工出细货。。

而且对方又是远自台湾高雄的大帅哥。。

所以还是算了。。

要爱美我还真得办不到。。

2010-07-15T23:34:00.002+08:00

嘻嘻。。各位乡亲父老是否有收看刚刚播出的‘明星志工队’呢？如果没看的话真的是太可惜了。。

刚才八点准，妈妈和我就一屁股的坐在电视机前面，等待着黄靖伦的出现，哈哈妈妈也被我影响不浅呢。。

这次，靖伦到了中国云南的石头城为当地的居民修建被大雨冲塌的桥。石头城的整个风景真的好美，是完完全全充满了大自然的感觉！！！

以下是我从明星志工队的面子书拷贝的

真是景色如画啊

这就是义工们建的桥

哈哈‘妈我不想长大。。我的妈。。’

这次看了后，当然自己也有很多不一样的想法。首先我非常佩服那些充满了魄力的年轻人愿意放弃在城市的生活来到了乡村服务，我真的是佩服得五体投地啊，因为我知道自己肯定无法这么做。

我活了二十年，却连一点贡献也没有，真是白活了。我非常不甘愿所以刚才绞尽脑子一直在想我到底有没有那么一点的贡献啊？

我只记得曾经到世界最老的船，帮忙粉刷墙壁和地板。。我还记得我遇到韩国的义工哈哈还跟他们呛了几句韩语，不过幸好我不是被派到厨房部，我朋友可是不停的在切蒜米呢。。不过这也不算什么。。让我印象比较深刻的是前几年到了沙捞越的原著名村子，算是简单的宣教之旅吧

哈哈几年前的照片被我翻了出来。。

好怀念啊。。。

哈哈真的是爬山涉水啊！！！

稍微寒酸版的长桌宴哈哈

那次短暂的宣传之旅让我获益不少，希望有朝一日能够再去

时候不早了，我得化身成猪了。。晚安！！

I should have uploaded all these photos ages ago haha sorry for the delay update on parents’ day celebration and FIFA world cup.

Few weeks back my church celebrated mothers and father’s day together, we called it parents’ day instead. The kids were asked to prepare dishes on the night and make it like a pot bless.

MC of the day – Tim and Vivien

Cutie Ben Ben presenting his prepared dish for the night

Mix vege prepared by Niki

Erm, this is called shepherd’s pie if I’m not mistaken.. Prepared by Bernice with the help of her maid haha, it was really delicious!!

Cant remember who prepare this

Ahem prepared by the Tan sisters’ haha, I only got short notice bout this event right after I came back from KL, so I prepare fruits. FYI, I’ve never cut watermelon before haha

I promised to blog about the plan for my very 1^st backpack with my sis. Well, I edited our journey in a map, haha the route might be a little confusing but I’ll try my best to explain.

We’ll kick off our journey from Singapore and land on Macau International airport; we’ll be spending 3 days two nights at Macau. Initially I didn’t know that Macau consists of two islands, Macau Island and Taipa Island, the famous ruins of St Paul and Venetian Resort is located at different island. Many people told us not to spend too much time in Macau, but when I asked more only I realized they didn’t really explore the another side of Macao, most of the tourist are there for casinos but not for the historical purpose.

Hotels at Macau are crazily expansive, but we manage to find some cheap hostels, with that kind of budget, my only expectation is only a bed where I can rest and sleep, not a Jacuzzi waiting for me in my hotel. Again, backpacking is all about budget, budget, and budget!!!

Did I mention I’m travelling on my very own expanses?? Oh haha okay mom sponsored our air tickets, so sis and I crack our heads to find the cheapest airline ever, I do feel bad about spending her money since she’s not travelling with us.

Then, we’ll take ferry to Hong Kong and spent 4 days 3 nights over there. By the way I’m the planner for this trip; sis’s job is to pay money since she’s the credit card holder. I’m gonna treat myself with a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland before I turn 21 in September haha.

By then, we’ve travel by air and sea, now it’s time to get adventurous with the land transport – TRAIN. We’ll be travelling to Shanghai from Hong Kong via train, mind you; it’s a 20 hours train. This is the part I’m super looking forward, but not sis. In my opinion instead of just looking at the clouds if you’re travelling by air, you get to see the border side of China!! The train will pass through places like Guangzhou, Xiamen, and Fuzhou etc. I can’t wait for the beautiful sceneries described by many backpackers who have gone through the same experience!!

But I know I know..China train haha you know people will be carrying ducks and chickens, I’ll try to look at the positive side anyway backpack is about knowing the differences of cultural living by experiencing it yourself. Aza Aza!!

After one week of staying in budget hotels, we’ll be able to enjoy our life in Shanghai because I have relatives over there and I’ll be staying with them!! And a visit to Shanghai World Expo is a must!!! Not forgetting the breathtaking view of The Bund!! Within the one week period stay in Shanghai, if time allowed, we’ll be visiting Suzhou and Hangzhou.

That’s the summary of my backpack plan. Hopefully everything will go on smoothly.

回到新山后，我又开始看新加坡电台节目了哈哈

三年没看未免太悲观了一点啊？

在过去的三年我开始接触本地的电视节目，一点都不好看好不好？

8TV 还算不错啦，至少没向新加坡电台那么笨，跑去在香港电视剧配难听的华语音

晕...

不过今天我看了新加坡U频道的‘明星职工队’。。。

今天是播出郑炳辉到中国的麻风村为那里得病人献爱心

看完了后我的感触很深，我的鼻子一直有酸溜溜的感觉

跟那些病人比起来我真的真的活在太太太舒适的环境

我要对我自己说和那些人比起来我这一点苦头算得了什么

这世上还有许许多多的人需要我们的关怀，我们的帮助

‘明星职工队’真的是一个非常好，很有意义的节目，还没看的朋友一定要看噢

看了后再跟我分享你们的感受吧

每逢星期四，U 频道晚上八点。。。下个星期的明星是。。。

黄靖伦！！！！！！

Haha sorry for those who cant understand Chinese, I typed this blog entry in mandarin because there are always some feeling that I think it’s best to convey in mandarin.

Haha I lazy to translate myself, so I used google translation and check this out, it’s hilarious!!!

Back to Johor Bahru, I began to see a radio program in Singapore haha

Three did not look too pessimistic a little ah?

In the past three years, I came into contact with a local television program, promising a bad bad thing?

8TV fairly good friends, at least not to the Singapore radio stupid, go in Hong Kong, China drama with a harsh voice. . Dizzy

But today I saw the Singapore U-channel 'Star staff team'. .

Today is broadcast Zheng Binghui leprosy village in China where the patient may show love

My feelings after watching the deep, my nose has been feeling sour

Patients compared with those I really do live in a comfortable environment for his wife too

I said to myself and those I compared what of this suffering

There are many people in this world need our care, our help

'Star staff team' is really a very good, interesting programs, not to see friends have to look at Oh
