ALOHA is aloha chalet. HOLA is hello when u're in hawaii.
but we're not in hawaii.
so hello everyone.. it's been quite a week.. but it was good to have 2 days and a night spent in my group chalet gathering. it's supposed to be 3 days n 2 nights but i had to leave early coz i need to attend sch in the morning on that 3rd day itself. so yah.
so the moment i stepped at the heavenly chalet, i had to start eating. the pressure was really mounting coz Everyone was like...
the Concerned people: "annur, u looked skinny! must eat more ok!"
the Hungry an-nur : "oh i will! i will! dont worry i'll eat alot one!"
the Conc.... : "yes! u must prove it to us ok!
for a really really skinny person, i am surprised by my superhuman ultrafast metabolic rate. i bet chickens are afraid of me now that i am beginning to annihilate their population in an alarming rate. hahah..
not that it needs any prove or evidence watsoever.
anyway, my first thanks goes to Mel for treating me like her own younger brother. not to mention for cooking me lots of chicken wings.. geez, i hope they wont say i looked skinny again. i've heard since day TWO from the start of sch already.. im not in denial.
thanks to sab, ash, mahes and kelvin for updating me stories of their own... sab, careful of that psychodelic girl man!! hahaha!!
thanks to the girls from Group 5 2005, errr... politics and love may not really mix well but u girls have done ur best to help our friend in need.
a final thank you to those who read this blog.

the one with his last moments
i've said this to my lecturer regarding my attachment in this Ward 7B.
i said "i really slacked here becoz of the slow-paced environment. i know i'm always missing in action but sometimes there is really nothing to do. "
the 3 weeks has been dreadfully boring. nevertheless, we all know that those last moments or the last day could be something worth remembering.
for those who have not seen me in my nursing uniform, this is how i looked.
a final together pic is always something u put in the last chapter.
and no, i dont have a spine problem :)

the one with his coming last week
the coming of the last week which is the last week of attachment has came and i am not gonna celebrate yet until it is over.
gerontology ward. is equal to slow pace and peaceful environment in which it resulted to my slackness in myself. the graph of excitement has increased because of the coming end. the graph of kiasuness has increased because i need to complete my logbook.
gd luck to myself for the coming results.

the one with his patient's death
i was standing beside his bed n i saw him breathing. he was gasping for air but i know he has been doing that since yesterday.
i was kinda bored but i still stood there looking around the room. i know i had been staring at the wall for quite a long time.
and then i looked at him again but this time he was motionless. i thought he wasnt breathing. i checked his pulse at the neck. there was a faint beat. but it got softer and softer.
vanessa came in and asked me what's going on. n i said "i dont know but im checking his pulse."
she said " how come the airbag is not deflating and inflating continously?"
it should deflate and inflate continously if he's breathing.
i checked the airbag and there was a hole. the bag had burst. but i remembered seeing the bag inflate and deflate when i was standing beside him.
i checked the pulse again but there was no pulse.
he had passed away in front of me.

the one with his pics
in this pic, i dont really want to show off my Thing but instead i would like to show u my round stomach. i cant believe how thin and skinny i am today. ppl say my metabolism rate is very good so i guessed what they said is true.
taking long walks at the beaches is kind of calming. this explains why i love to go to the beach. Tanning and Swimming. haha!
to graduate after 2 years in kindergarten is a major achievement for me. everything looks good on me except for that blue shoes. i dont remember having that shoe u know.
i was really a geek last time. i hate my hair, my teeths and my half-broken specs during this period of my life. this pic explains why i prefer a car rather than a bike. we'll see whether im taking my bike license or not.
being 16 or 17 is really cool i guessed. i think it makes me stronger somehow during this 2-3 years.
20 years later, i smiled when i looked back upon my past.but She thinks that i have a very CHEEKY smile.
yup. that's Her.

the one with his friday and saturday
FRIDAY
it's official. im not taking the lifesaving test. that means i dont have to attend make-up classes during my attachments coz i know i'll be really tired.
imagine this: u wake up at 5am. off to work at 6 and start work at 7. u finish at 3pm and have to be in sch after that to attend the make-up class at 6pm which ends at 8. u go back and reach home at 9++. u have to sleep by 10 so u can have 7 hours of sleep to wake up at 5am again. if u're lucky, u might start at 1.30 the next day but chances are quite slim i supposed.
one whole day gone.
but last friday's S&W was quite weird. that session, i had to partner with another guy in e same course. we were supposed to do this manoeuvre where we must keep the victim afloat and swim on ur back. this guy (lets called him X) practiced on me first and he got a special way of doing it. instead of swimming back, he walked. that's easy if u wanna do that in shallow waters but what if it is deep? den u gotta have long legs right?? maybe X is Mr. Fantastic and he could stretch his leg to the deepest ocean in the universe.
right.
anw, when it was my turn to practice on him. i found it funny and irritating at the same time. he is like a NATURAL SINKER in the waters. so yah, since he could just sink, it's obvious that he would frantically struggle after 1 nanosecond. seriously, if he could just relaxed and let me do e work, there will be no water entering his nose or mouth. after i gave him my assurance, we made it quite well. he still couldnt do it right though.
CITS presentations was mostly emotional. not gonna elaborate on that.
SATURDAY
sometimes alarm clocks can be unreliable. esp when u really have to wake up very early to attend sch.
ALARM SET : 6 AM

i liked her purple slippers.

the one with his chemistry
it is NOT about chemistry that u took for ur O levels.
it is NOT abt the chemistry in pharmacology.
chemistry was NOT one of my favourite subjects back in sec sch days.
it makes me wonder how it really works.
the feelings, the firmness, the things we do, the things we say, the things it turned out to be.
ppl, stop asking if we're still together :)

the one with his cousin's birthday
BIRTHday is supposed to be an enjoyable thing. coz we can play musical chairs, pass-the-present thingy and eating loads of food. i only enjoyed eating.
went to my cousin's which is situated near the forest which i remembered that there was some police stakeout on illegal prostitution. yup. anw, reached the house and the moment i stepped in, i could only walked towards the food section. not much of a variety but it was a few of my favourite dishes. chickens was not to be missed.
i got a bit sleepy after i ate so i went to my cousin's room to sleep for a while. i know its not ethical but i think its better to sleep inside rather than showing my drooling saliva infront of other ppl.
sleep for an hour.
woke up again to have a second round of eating.
a little moment of boredom and i decided to play the computer. cousin told me some of the latest songs he downloaded so i told him to email me the list of those songs.
okay... i know looks can be deceiving. its funny how HEIGHT and FEATURES can make the person look very young.
so my aunt and her new husband arrived with 3 other ppl mainly her son, 1 guy teenager, 1 girl child. the guy shaked my hand and the girl child shaked and kissed my hand (in a traditional malay way lah). automatically i thought that these 2 ppl are the products of my new uncle (aunt's new husband). that thought lingered in mind till i just asked my cousin (aunt's son Shahril). he said a BIG NO! he told me they were his friends and said that the guy's age is 21 and the girl is 18.
OKAY. this girl is like 1.4 to 1.5 metre short. her face is those of a primary 3 or 4 girl and he's telling me that she's 18.
TYPICAL guys must have thought she's underage when it comes to sex. now im NOT promoting underage sex and this post is not about sex either. i even bold the word "typical" for you to comprehend the meaning of it. so keep an open mind.
i'll leave u to judge whether im typical or not.

the one with his day of school
it's monday.
it's a school day.
n i had to start the day thinking that i'll be having Lifesaving Course later from 6 to 7.30. so i started at 10 n we had to do the checking of our FON paper. hopefully, i can pass the exams lah. hahaah..
den NSL. we did the same old thing reflecting on our experiences. i had alot but i just didnt want to share. so yah.
one hour break - i ate chicken rice which make me shit for 10 mins.
we had a new teacher for our PHARM module. she wrote her full name on the board but i only remembered the name Angeline. looked auntie-like but quite ok coz she's quite enthu. rite.
CMBIO lecture by Dr Phang was NOT boring. somehow, her lecture is much more interesting than ronnie's coz she kinda use like tools or toys to explain her lecture. n all of those things are inside a big plastic bag. hahahaha.... its like as if she came back from shopping.
i do not know why i chose lifesaving. we ALWAYS had to the laps first before learning the new stuffs. i dont mind 8 to 10 laps. but it's 16 laps man!! den i will have to vomit again to make myself feel better. so yah... i will confirm vomit everytime there is lifesaving course. if i eat, i vomit. if i dun eat, i also vomit. so how? any solutions to this? den wed's lifesaving will be from 6pm to 9pm. wat in the world.....
i found out that shitting everyday is normal.

the one with his sleepy day
woke up at 4.55 AM n straight to the showers.
i do not like to work on Mondays. now i know that u're gonna guessed that im talking abt monday blues which is in fact true for me. i didnt look forward in receiving the day. after showers, i got into my uniform and had koko krunch for breakfast. den at 6, i went off to the hospital of Tan Tock Seng.
i reached there to find myself still sleepy. i couldnt drink coffee coz it'll make me go dizzy. while we doing reports, a patient pressed a call bell and i attended to him. he wanted to take a shower so i assisted him. not only that i assist him, i took abt 10 mins to sleep while standing.
breakfast was served but i was too sleepy to see the spoon going towards the mouth. so i kept smucking the patients' faces.
today a Sister taught me how to do wound dressing even though i wasnt allowed to do on a patient yet n also michael says we cant do it. but no way im gonna let that stop me. haha.. chey!
basically, it was easy lah. i was trying very hard to stay awake n i think i did pretty well not to let her see my sleepyness.
ate lunch, keep rubbing my eyes, sleep on the couch for half an hour.
"This is totally not your day," said Chriselda.

the one with his policeman
i've thought abt this matter when She decided to leave and enter a new course. n then the idea of being a policeman jus sprang into my mind. so i decided to write abt this.
back in my family history, my grandpa on my dad's side was a policeman. my grandpa on my mum's side was a nurse. i knew for a long time that that my grandpa(dad) was a policeman but never have i thought of becoming a policeman. following my grandpa's(mum) footsteps was a decision which i felt is a good one. now that i think that the policeman job is not a bad thing after all, i think i may have to change my next-5-years-from-now plan.
so rite now as in 2006 (i will turn 20 in october), i have made some few changes.
-- 2006 --
promoted to year 2
-- 2007 --
promoted to year 3
-- 2008 --
graduate from np and enter National Service
-- 2009 --
still in NS
-- 2010 --
graduate from NS and go policeman training and be a POLICEMAN for 4 or 5 years.
im sure teenagers like me mite never thought abt being a guy in blue before but i dun think its a bad job. i mean, my dad was a Cisco policeman before and he told me handling a Smith is quite cool. i wish sg policeman handle those big guns like Desert Eagle or a Colt .45....
anw, it's jus food for thought.
but if i become one, u'll know in ur heart that the streets will always be safe and secure.

the one with his sore eyes
alright.
i think im going to have sore eyes soon. or preferably called the yellow eyes disease.
i made that up.
anw, i called it yellow eyes disease cause ur eyes tend to produce those sticky yellow ooze at the corners of ur eyes. n whenever u thought that it's clear after u swipe them off, they will reproduce and reproduce until ur eyes are blinded by yellow stuffs.
n also becoz i had those before.
1st lesson - Optrex eye drops didnt work on me.
2nd lesson - do NOT ever see a couple who make out in the bus. for watever reason, avoid seeing them.
3rd lesson - dun criticize the banglas, they can type good english in sms.

the one with his past 2 months
as you all know, it has been nearly 2 months since i last blogged. that shows how uncommitted i am in blogging. but the past 2 months have been really sumthing worth remembering.
why?
common tests, projects, friends, funs n Like Life. noticed how come there isnt a word SAD in the list. coz i only felt sad when i failed one of paper in the common test. so yah... should really strive for the best. that reminds me of a primary school song. which goes like this:
"Strive for the best"
"Staff and Pupils all"
"Giving best for our nation's call"
if this blog can talk, i'll definite sing u the rhythm.
projects are NOT like tons or many. they are jus there to keep us busy during the 2 week holiday. OH IM BUSY ALRIGHT! BUSY wif playing soccer n doing bits and bits of housework.
friends and family have been great. they are the ppl who always make me look forward to tomorrow everyday.
i m looking forward to tomorrow where i'll be going out wif someone whom i feel really fun with!
Dental Appointment at on the 29th December at 11AM.

the one with his coming of the first day
its 11.19pm and e hours are counting down to the first day of sch in e 2nd semester... yes. tomorrow is sch day.
my timetable is not that bad. most of the days, i start at 8 except for monday which i will start 10.
monday - 10am to 4pm
tuesday - 8am to 4pm
wednesday- 8am to 3pm
thursday - 8am to 6pm
friday - 8am to 12pm
so yea its not that bad considering my friends who will have to go back at 6pm for the 3 days of the week. but im sure they'll get use to it like they do in the previous timetable. for watever reason, they should be patient. haha... nurses are patient people ok! hahaha!
sometimes i think i need an opinion on what type of haircut i should choose. coz i seriously have a malfunction judgement when it comes to hairstyle. i tried the spiky hairstyle which i thought made me looked like a bloody gangster. or an ah beng.
now, i got this high-slope hairstyle which a part of me tells me that i looked like a smart ass while the other part of me says i looked like a stupid geek. maybe not stupid. i shall use the word 'nincompoop'. so erwina, if u're reading this, i hope u can give me ur recommendation on hairstyles. thx!
i have got to buy my hair wax.

the one with his month of fasting
the fasting month is not really over yet... n i cant help but wonder how fast it has been since i started fasting on the 5th of october. while waiting for hari raya, i must admit that i didnt do much in receiving the occasion. i got a week of CA to replace which turns out to be the best week of my life. helping those nurses out really helped me realised how useful i could be. hahaha...
anyway, i didnt help my mum to make any KUIHs or cakes.. i thought i didnt want to bother my mum or sumthing doing these kind of baking. but i seriously wouldnt mind help her out in cleaning the house. yeah... so far, we havent put on the curtains, havent changed the cushions of sofa, havent changed the cushions of dining chairs. that means we havent really started.
the spirit of raya havent been fully absorbed by me yet. i mean.. its like suddenly the fasting month jus came over and hari raya is looming soon. I WASNT PREPARED.
but whatever it is, 30 days of fasting will make me more slimmer! hahahaha!

the one with his CA
one week of Clinical Attachment (CA) has gone by and i knew i was having fun. disturbing, making jokes and sometimes share stories with the patients. that is if the patient can communicate with u.... coz for those who cant, doing sign language wouldnt help u...
anyway, first day was orientation which was quite good i must say. the clinical educator was quite enthusiastic so that didnt bore us to the death. a tour was a must coz u dun wanna get lost in the 2nd biggest hospital in sg. i dont know which hosp is the biggest but im sure its NOT that BIG coz singapore is so small. anyway, we were assigned to our ward. mine is ward 5D... so for those who know me, feel free to visit me and u can get a free infection of dengue. yeah... free of charge.
4 days of morning shift wasnt that all bad. except that u have to wake up at 5. i mean i usually wake up at 6.30, went out at 7 and reach sch before 8. THIS was an exception coz the shift starts at 7. so woke up at 5, went out at 6 (1 hour for shower and breakfast altogether) and reach TTSH before 7.
rite now, im even feeling great that my life has had some great moments.
im not regretting every moment of it.
btw, there was some great learning... but i knew some of u wouldnt understand the medical terminalogy and the meaning of COPD, and also the consequences of when u handle patients with MRSA without any safety precautions.
unless of course... u're a nurse...
but dun worry, nurses do explain on their work. so make a date and i'll tell u everything. every single thing.

the one with his AAP practical test
seriously, my schmates are getting too paranoid in their revision. got too nervous n develop frustrations towards themselves and others. and yeah, a slightest provocation or disturbance can cause them to growl at u. well, i didnt get any growling but i could sense the heat...
anw, it turns out that the prac test wasnt that difficult. i know and im very sure that anyone can pass the paper. to those who didnt pass, i know u have been missing some important lectures and dun even bother to study for it... yea.. still, exams in 2 weeks time n yessss, i've start my revision.... woah! a major revision of all my modules..
i know i could pass this prac test... it would certainly help me to pass the major exam.. glad that i didnt fail the common test coz i would have to resit the paper which was held today...
while im writing this blog, a fren of mine jus signed in the msn with the nick "STRESS period...!!!". relax lah my fren... N today, i kinda felt relieved after i had finished my presentation of a sch project.
3 PROJECTS does not equal to 3x THE STRESS

the one with his one week
i've gotta admit. i am a very lucky person. im fortunate to have this opportunity to represent my Course, my Department, and my School to attend the Poly Forum 2005.
its gonna be a good week of interacting with Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, the Minister of Education of Singapore.
i never expected to get into this.... well, during the morning of my 1st day of sch since the attachment, Dr Ronnie made an announcement that 2 students of my course have been selected to attend the forum. imagine the surprise i had when he announced my name in front of everyon in the lecture thearter. every schoolmates of mine applaused.. another one was a girl... n i think she's the type who's very open and easy-going... so good for us!
the forum will be conducted in sg and jb.. in jb, the place that is conducting the forum is called Sofitel Resort... nice place but its like in the middle of nowhere.. i've been there b4 as i went there for my student leaders seminar conducted by NP.
i foresee that it'll be a very good experience for me as i get to interact with students from all the other polytechnics.. we'll be discussing matters such as World Awareness, Entrepreneurship, Social Awareness and many more... it'll make me better inform of the world issues..
looking forward for that week and will share the best of my knowledge to u ppl..
