Operation II

Finally did my other eye today le. Blur vision as before, but not so uncomfortable liao. Still diligently apply my eyedrops, gotta take care of my post ops eyes....*yes*

Nothing to do today, re-read my magazines, join all the freebies contest in the mags, watch TV, ahh.... nothing else to do le!! Hopefully my eyes will recover properly without any complications bah. Wahahah..... I m taking MC for the next 3 days!! YEAH!! Wah, I just realised I still have a lot of leave and public holidays to be cleared.... hmm... maybe can even no need work for a month! :p But too bad my OC counted me into the active strength of the station which is why I also cannot anyhow take leave... :(

Nothing much to update except that I am re-reading "Tuesday with Morries" by Mitch Albom. You do need some reminders on what you have read before to refresh your memories especially if you are too caught up with your life... re-visiting your tots is a must. I will also read up on "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" again once my mentor returns me the book.

Still no courage to take any steps.......

Operation

Hiya, did my first eye today. Eh, a bit uncomfortable and blur vision due to the dilation of the pupils and the swelling of the cornea. :( Will diligently apply all the eyedrops cos you have only a pair of eyes and I am not going to mess around it with it... :)

Haizz, now I can only wait for the vision to clear up before I can really see without glasses for my left eye. Will be doing my right eye tomorrow. Hope no complications crops up and my eye can heal asap... :)

Hmm... maybe I can share the experince. I arrived at SNEC at 1100hrs, the nurse then put the eyedrops for dilation of my pupils to prep the eye for the surgery. Waited 45mins for the medicine to take effect. Went for a check, pupils not dilated enough, more eyedrops and waiting. The nurse response was so funni "Wah, dilated so big ar? " heeee... Next is to wait for my doc to operate on me. I was asked to lie on the bed while the doc placed the machine above my head to determine the position of the laser light. My lids were secured to prevent me from blinking and then my cornea was cut and flipped back... eh... sounds scary hor?? Luckily my eye was under anesthesia so no pain, justa bit of pressure. Then everything was blur and I can see the red laser light and burning smell..... yucks... a bit scary come to think of it.... *shiver* Then it is flushing of the eye with sterile water before flipping back the cornea into position. There is something I must declare, the cut is only a small portion, necessary just for the surgery, not the whole thing so dun get the wrong idea..... :p The it is back to rest for 30 mins before the doc checked me and gave the green light to go home. Eh..... the burnt smell still hunts me leh... how ar?? Have to overcome bah..... :(

Okie, so now I am back home, diligently applying eyedrops. Eh... vision supposed to clear in a few hours time.... will update again..... :)

Upset !!

Okie, before I start my bitching, let me share a funni line from SystemShock's blog..
"As everyone knows ... the brain is divided into 2, the left and the
right... so meaning... On the Left side, Nothing is RIGHT! Then on the RIGHT
side, Nothing is LEFT!"

Haaa... crap rite??? heeee...

Rite, back to my bitching.... feeling damn lousy(again)! Cos I misplaced my Ez-link card(again!) though it has to be somewhere in my bag or my locker, but I can't seems to find it! ARGGG!! And to rub salt to the wound, a PM from station is applying for the same block leave period in Sep as me.... I was hopping to go for the Bintan trip since I missed the last one.... :( Hopefully can persuade OC to release me as I m dispensible bah.. :p

Then I wanted to watch the movie "The Island" but seems like everyone already watched the show liao... Now I m left by myself to watch the show.... upset! :(

Something to share, a frend of mine knew this ger who unfortunately is from Vienna, but they do have attraction for each other. Hmm..... but cos the ger had a bf of 8 years back home, she is obligated to reject my frend. Is it really that difficult to sustain a long distance relationship? Maybe, but I think it is fate that brought them together. Isn't it? If not, how on earth these 2 will meet when they are literally living at opposite end of the world? Unfortunately, both are too rationale liao. Actually I was thinking sometimes, dun be too logical in your thinking... why not just sieze the day and do something that you know you will hate yourself if you let go of the opportunity? Life is too short to live logically sometimes.....

I m still feeling upset....humph.... :(

Tots II

Yo, finally have the time to sit down and update my blog le. Let's continue from my prev prev entry "Tots I".

Nurturing

Saw this documentry sometime ago about young talents with remarkable achivements. The particular one I managed to catch was a 6 year old boy who has this in born talent with drums. He is able to memorize and pick up the rhythm and beat of the song just by listening to the piece. Amazing!! He could act out and follow the beat of the drums when he was only 2! Wow! This is what I called in born talent. And the most commendable thing is the kind of support and encouragement the family showed him. They bring him to Orchard for buskers performance and send him for lessons in drums. His parents really nurture his talent and allowed him to explore and develop his love for drums, something that the younger generation of parents will do, if it is within their means. Me too, as I've said to myself before, if I identified any talent in my children, I will make sure I do my very best to develop and nurture that talent. Cos it is really very rare that you are given that gift to be really good at something.

Like me, I know I have the talent in dancing as my mum told me I danced even before I know how to walk! It really is something in my blood. That is the only passion that I have ever since I was born. I can't even remember when I start loving dancing. Even up till today, the very idea of able to dance, no matter what kind of dance, is able to send the adrenaline in me pumping. Everything will be great and all my worries will be gone once I immersed myself in the music. There is no way to describe my passion for dancing. Had my parents been more abled, I might have the chance to develop this talent and passion of mine. Which is why I promised myself to fully support and encourage my children if they are good in anything.

Time Limited Marriage

Was reading this article in the recent issue of "Men's Health". The writer was writing something abt the evolution of today's marriages. Seems like nowdays, ppl no longer viewed the marriage vows as sacred as before. This is so sad! Look at the divorce rate in Singapore now, it is climbing even as I write this entry. And the years of marriage before a couple decided to go seperate ways is getting shorter and shorter. Is it because ppl are not serious when they decided to get married? How many times must a person be married? Isn't it "for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, till death do us part" ? I have seen too many cases of a spouse leaving another in ditch when they are in trouble. I've also heard of couples hiding from each other their financial status. Where is the trust and love in a marriage? Why is it ppl are not putting in effort to try and mend a r/s but instead look for the easier alternative of leaving? Maybe I'm in no position to say all these cos I also got myself out of a r/s because we no longer walk towards the same goals in life. I dun know. It is easy for 1 to walk out of the other when the feeling is gone and when you have no kids. But things will be different if you have children. Some ppl stayed in a unhappy marriage because of the kids, it is just so sad that how can a couple who were so loving to turn into stangers if not enemies? I really dun know the answer. I really really hope I can grow old with my partner whom I love.

Back to the article, the writer was suggesting to cut down the divorce rate, we should try this new marriage "contract" Time Limited Marriage. In this contract, the couple can state the period whereby they will honour the wedding vows maybe a time frame of 3, 6 or whatever time frame they like and after the term end, they can decide to renew or to go their seperate ways. What say you? I dun know lar, my stand is still 1 person all the way. Can't do much now too, still looking for the courage to be in a r/s again.....

Fever Day

Can you imagine how many fever cases we had today?? Hmm... let me count, its 4 outta 8... that's 50%!! And not only my side. Meet Qi at NUH just now and guess what? She just conveyed a fever patient too.... hmmm... today good day for fever?? *scratch head*

Wasn't very happy with my first case this morn. He was( I used "was" because he is already dead) a COPD patient and had shortness of breath since yesterday. He was able to respond to me when we arrived at his house. But enroute, his condition worsen and we called for a standby. He didn't respond like he used to and I got worried. Somemore his SPO2 level was less than 50% and we bagged him all the way... I was like.. he was a COPD patient, and I dun want to cut off his breathing by giving him too much oxygen... haizzz... SAD! And the best thing was when we sent him to the resus, the doctor told me that the patient actually signed a letter to be refused to be resucitate. I was like huh? And when we went back to the hospital in the evening, we were told he was dead......... haizzzz... I wonder.. would I do that when I have lots of illness when I old? Maybe, you will feel like a burdun to your kids and you have to suffer so much pain and such... :( I think the only thing that will make me change my mind is that I dun want to part with my partner bah..wahahahaa.. that is if I have 1. :p

Tt's all for my calls today.... see whether later I game to write another entry not... bye bye.

Tots I

Okie, few topics I would like to touch on.

LAST DUTY

Sometimes, you just can't say things too fast. I just commented I had quite a good nite duty the day before rite? And guess what? I had 6 calls last night and out of those 4 were assault case, most were employment pass holder.. *rolleyes* 1 fall from height... fell flat down... can't even see her face.... But the case I wanna bring up is the case whereby this patient compliant of diarrhoea and vomitting, only started 45mins before we arrived. No shortness of breath, no chest pain. No med history except slight hypertension. Vomitted en-route to hospital and know what the staff nurse told us when we conveyed the next patient to the hospital? That patient went into VF and they managed to shock him back to life!! Damn lucky siah, can you imagine if he collapse in the ambulance? You won't suspect a heart attack since everything looks normal, even his vital stats...

My PM was telling me, lucky we got there on time, imagine if they had called later, if we were out for an non-emergency call and another ambulance had to be dispatch from a further location.... things might not be so well for the patient liao...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creativity

Well, in our organisation, we have to participate in this program called "Stuff Suggestion Scheme" SSS for short. Each of the employees will have to think of 4 SSS suggestions to improve our work environment. Duhzz... I mean yeah, its good that we are all being asked to think of something to improve the work environment or efficiency, but pressurising the staffs to die die come up with 4 SSS is killing our creativity rather than encouraging it lor..

If you would notice, brillant ideas will come to you when you least expected it, like when you are lazing ard, in the toliet or in my case, bathing... Making your employees to think of creative suggestions out of the blue within a given time frame will not produce good results. We are not like creative directors, who need new ideas in order to keep their rice bowls. And the fact that I'm bitching abt this is because I hate squeezing ideas within a given time frame without much support!!

Just like our government, they have produced a generation of followers, who only throw out model answers without much creativity... and now they want the same batch of ppl to be creative! How in the world can you expect a change overnite??? I used to be very creative in poems and words. But ask me to think of one now, I can tell you it will take me 10 times the duration than before. With all the bustling activites, with all the quest of high quality living.... the luxury of enjoying that piece of tranquality, will only be available to youngsters....

Wanted to write some more.... but a bit tired liao. Continue tomorrow bah... *lights off*

Here are some pics of him just in case you guys forgot how he looked like....


Handsome hor...... My brother looks like him leh.... :p
I know a lot of guys (especially ard my age) dun like him during that time.. haaaa... but all old liao lar.. see open a bit k?? Are the love stories of our youngsters as innocent as those days? Will all these songs strike a cord in them? Hmmm.... let me just revieve the good, old, innocent days.... :)

Its 2am and I m still awake!

ArGG....its 2am liao and what am I doing here?!?! Dun feel like sleeping yet leh. Did shifting of my room (finally *rolleyes*) with the help of Lihui and Ricky. Thanks ya guys! ;) Hopefully with the shifting according to my best directions from Feng Shui pt of view, everything will be smooth for me bah (auntie hor, :p). Cleaned up and packed my room till 4pm before hitting my bed for a much needed sleep for 2 hrs before meeting a frend for dinner (wat a mouthful..hee..). Dinner was good and Esplanade was great! :)

Gotta finished up my project to "Ba Hu" latest by tml cos he wants me to present on Monday.. *rolleyes*.

Went thru my frendster list, updated myself with my frend's blog. Blog is really a good way to keep in touch with your frend's life wor. At least you know if they are alive and kicking... heee...

Had an interesting finding... someone is of the same zodic sign as me wor.. but am I acting like her? Saw another PM's photo, wah..... she is very chio lor... hahhaa.. I m mumbling rubbish.... nonsensical stuff, dun mind me. Sick for 1 week already, finally there are some improvements. Gotta take more care of myself. What kinda dreams will I have tonite? Did I tell you guys I like to sleep? and the reason for it, cos I can have dreams mah... :p

Went for a "mini" mass casualties call last nite. 8 ppl behind a lorry that over-turned. 6 patients altogether and we make alpha 2. Me and Choy conveyed 2 P3 and 1 P1 patient while the PM stayed at scene to wait for the next ambulance. Tot I handled the case quite okay. At least I'm not so gan jiong and blur this time round though there are certainly tons of rooms for improvement. Hmm..... I seems to have problem indentifying the chief complaint especially in medical case. Chief complaint is drowsy, not difficulty in breathing? Ehh.... haiz..... so SAD!

EXPECTATIONS! I hate that word! Everybody has certain expectations of somebody close to them.... why the need leh? -_-"......

Okie, finally Uncle Zhou beckoning to me to play chess with him le..... *yawn*
