according to Dotz, i'm posted to MICU.. next month. i'm really scared.. really not enough experience, not enough knowledge, the sisters there have high expectations, the Drs will question a lot, some staff nurses there are quite anal (according to eleanor)
then y go?? maybe cuz i'm too ambitious.

hahaha. silly me.
surprisingly, there's quite a no. of people from my church joined westside story and we had a post event which is a game of Frisbee
really thank God that we get to know people from other churches and know how's their church is doing. it's NOT THE SAME as any social club gathering.
it's also a blessing that now more and more youths from WOW and Lishi knows each other. that's y i created a group to keep us connected.
at first i was super worried that our response for this event will be super poor. but a lot of them whom i don't expect them the join actually joined. and they enjoyed it =)

the choice.
with fears, i told my ward sister that i want to go ICU. i didn't pray about it. i just go ahead with it. probably because i want to have a change of environment or setting i want to leave the ward and here's the chance.
i dunno is this what the God wants me to do but i know He'll plan for me.
then i attended this canto patient, we named her 'hai lor' cuz she always say 'hai lor, hai lor' i took care of her when i was a student and now she's back..we started talking. but it was tough. because i can't speak nor understand canto and vice versa, she can't understand my language. i told her in canto that i can't speak canto
she said, don't know then learn lor! learn already then know lor! and she continue speaking in canto thank God that i've been watching hk drama somehow some words i can catch so she started asking me am i married. i told her i'm still young, i'm 20 only. she said she know, because she remembers me. then she started to talk to me like i'm her grand-daughter like that.
comparing both photos, yup, she've deteriorated.
"dunno then learn lor!" she said. hits me because that point of time i'm fear of going to ICU with my 10 month old experience, i'm going to ICU.
and i'm going to miss the time and chances of having nice chit chat sessions with my patients because in ICU
SICU - road to recovery, not too bad, but patient don't really have to mood to talk i think. MICU - road to death. most of them are... "half dead"
i'll let Him decide for me =))

i really don't know.
you'll never walk alone - liverpool.
i know that in my spiritual walk with God, i'm never alone. but i felt that i'm alone.
glad that i've shared what i'm currently going through during cell and im not alone, because i have brothers and sisters who went through it before.
and the problem is, i know i'm spiritually not there anymore, but what's wrong?
when i sing worship, that passion to worship isn't there anymore. in fact it's filled with lots of guilt and confusions. the lyrics help me express my feelings towards God but i'm doubting myself, are those real? i can't differentiate anymore.
my passion to serve isn't there anymore. i really feel disheartened and disappointed, although it's expected but still. my servings be it in church or at work.
so conformed into the world already, until at times i don't know what's right what's wrong. there isn't guilt at all when i'm doing wrong things.
true enough, i'm slipping into hell ..i'm reluctant to go off the cliff. "Gabrielle, you know one, you know what's happening just that you didn't want to listen."
i'm going to try again, be more determined to stick close to you, be more anal about right and wrong. if i fail to do so,
Lord, would you push me down the cliff, no matter how hurtful it'll be, what price it'll take. because i don't want to deteriorate further.

my 4 nights shift.
a photo of Alex Hosp corridor at night
ended well =)))
after work today, i went to meet Crazy Cuzzies for KFC breakfast *YUMS* after which, slack abit and went home to sleep for less than 2 hours, i woke up automatically. quite surprised cuz i thought i'll pigggg on the bed.
then went to meet Juin, went Chinatown seriously chinatown got nothing much to buy. only for that 1 particular shop in chinatown point worth going. HAHA. then went to temptation island CRAP. bugis street.. all the TEN TEN TEN was tempting. so much for a shopping trip on my sleeping day consciously telling myself, GABRIELLE DO NOT SPEND MONEY
but..
nways, i got a denim vest with a nice white tank to match denim short and a nice checkered 'farmer' looking top.
indeed shopping is therapeutic... it'll just resolve my 4 days of tiredness
not feeling tired at all, we went to meet enli for dinner! TOM YAM FRIED RICE WAS GOOD
and we started topics like y gambling's wrong, what's kind of job suits us... no longer those my math teacher sucks, my english teacher lousy, my school friends bully me kind of topics.
we've all grown up^^

the reel reason.
"why did you cut your hair?" " i've always wanted short hair... "
or maybe actually... i just want to show that i can let it go. and chopping off my hair, hoping that everything can start afresh, a new. there's an old saying that cutting your hair it's like cutting your worries/sorrows away but a new look doesn't mean a new person, a new character, a new life.
nwayz, the real reason for this hair cut is really because i wanted short hair. hahahaha!
if cutting hair really cuts my worries and sorrows away, i will shave my head manz! hahahha maybe that's why old monks are bald because they believe that saying and new generation monks kept their hair because it's not true at all!

the busyness is back.
after few days of slacking in the ward during working hours, today. the busyness is back.
non stop admissions, demented patient starts to wayang patient complained, relatives complained, non stop call bells, something happened to patients.
it's time to pull up my socks, and be a nurse that touches lives.

re-search
today, sister yiap came "Gabrielle, you're good and research right?" in my heart was "it's 1 year ago! i haven't been doing research stuffs!" before i can say a thing, she continued "i need you to help ur sister julita to do a research project on wound management." and my heart says "ALRIGHT. i tot that was donkey year's project and it was cancelled, why do again?"
"you do a lit review first." "okay... when must i submit it?" "end of JAN" "you and dorothy do together."
[COOL. hey dotz, do u feel like it's a back to school thing??!? hahahaha!]
on that point of time(a short 5mins) i was thinking, shit where got time to complete! and i don't even know the exact title yet. 2 WEEKS!!
but on the other hand, after much thoughts i really Thank God for this chance it's like a mini trial test to see if i'm ready to study part time uni or not. if i realised that 2 weeks already drain my brain juice i guess God is telling me to wait till my bond ends then i'll pursue my degree.
true?

short hair club.
there isn't any reason for cutting short hair. i've always wanted to cut my hair short just that i didnt had that courage to..
sighs.. it's so difficult to style my hair like how my hairstylist taught me. need more practice leh.
nwayz, for once, i finally get to take care of snowflakes (we gave her this nickname) she's is SUPER CUTE her voice is so sweet and cute, her super white hair is so flossy and soft. and her early dementia made her really like a little kid.
