cannot judge a book by its cover.
i've always thought KC and KA are nasty seniors
and G is a super nice one..
but ever since we've all come over to KTPH.
it's the other way round..
damn it. G keeps picking on me today
commenting about me being messy, etc etc
right infront of my sister .. grrr
hate it!! but i just smiled it off in a friendly manner
because im going to school soon!!
very soon! *yay!*
i don't give a damn!
i really can't work with Indians.
they can only be friends.
full stop. . . .
i told a lie. urghhhh!!!

day 10!! day off!!
i'm EXHAUSTED about work.
keeping myself alert everytime i nurse my patients
finally i'm going to have my weekends off!!
and night cycling today!! oh yay!!
day 10 didnt really ended well...
today my gayboy patient's dad broke down badly
after the family conference, knowing that he's already brain dead.
all i can do was to pat his shoulders and comfort him.
at the same time my another GCS 3 patient
had to go for CT Brain. results not out yet though
but her mortality rate is 90%.. sighs.
life's short. really short.
treasure life lah!

it's raining and my heart dropped.
it's working day 8
two more days till the next rest day.
hang on hang on!
in these 8 days i've..
nursed a patient that requires a liver transplant
she have a very supportive family, 1 loving husband and 2 pretty daughters
who never fail to be with her all day long.
nursed a patient who had just lost a leg last year due to a road traffic accident,
coming in with ultra high sugar levels and diagnosed Diabetic ketoacidosis.
admitted her from A&E, she was very very sick then.
fluid resuscitated her the whole shift.
nursed a patient who had a neck absecess and no one knows
then eventually collapsed in the ward. admitted to us,
already had hypoxic brain damage, husband wanted to sue the hospital.
nursed a STEMI patient in his 40s,
who is non compliant to his warfarin
that's why ended up having a heart attack.
nursed a patient who self extubated twice (yesterday and today) during my shift
meaning he pulled out the tube that helps him to breathe.
nursed a brain dead gayboy today
in his 30s, family couldn't accept the fact
that he can't be saved anymore.
the dad wanted to kneel down and ask the Dr to save him.
it was quite heartbreaking.
admitted a collasped case yesterday as well
who had 50% chance of survival.
and many other more not so interesting cases.
felt quite moody since i woke up
guessed im too tired.
and with all the dramas happened in the ICU today,
physically, emotionally drained already..
now it's 7:30AM 23rd sep
this entry was written halfway ytd afternoon when i'm back from work
apparently i fell asleep since ytd afternoon till this morning
felt better =) it's day 9!!
i wonder how's the gayboy and his family.
You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be prayin every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away

in the ICU, day 6
"Gabrielle! faster go and change, your new case coming,
u'll be taking bed 2 and 3."
whoa. shocked..
then i was thinking is the ward that busy?
there's still 20mins before i start work
it's hell busy today.
didnt had time to seat down, drink water, go toilet.
run in and out of 2 patients room,
fluid resuscitation non stop...
infusions, transfusions, dilute many many many drugs,
hourly urine, hourly blood glucose monitoring
bloods to take, ECG to do, specimens to collect
documentations to complete, talk to family,
at the same time need to remember and think about patient's condition
co-relate it with the numbers.
ended work at 10:30pm.
by then my head felt super heavy...
it's really a very challenging day for me.
running up and down like a crazy girl.
although it's isnt a good day.
but i still enjoyed myself.

i realised that i'll be working for 10 days straight.
and looking at today's shift. faint! =S
4 admissions in total.
it's full house again.
it's really nice to be back working after 2 weeks of leave.
my colleagues were telling me how lucky that i managed to escape
from 2 weeks of chaos.
i went on night shift after my leave.
my workload doubled.
night shift is always the slackiest.
but these 3 nights.. was quite busy.
there's always things to do every hour every min.
but thank God it's manageable.
today i'm given 1 case. *yays!*
tot it will be quite slack.
but i'm totally wrong!
the ICU is no longer AH ICU so slack already.
more and more challenging..
nways,
today i took care of a 54y.o drug abuser
with alot of ang gongs on his body.
he got alot of medical history like COPD, hypertension etc.
now he got a tracheostomy done.
he also got a super edmateous groin
with super painful bleeding red sacral excoration
and worst still diarrhea. which causes the skin breakdown even more.
but he looked painless.. in fact, expression-less
so i'm not sure if he can obey commands or understand what's going on.
the thing is..
he have a super cute and loving mother who is in her 70-80s i guessed.
when she sees her son, she'll say "你有没有痛啊?" "你在睡觉啊?"
then she turned to me and say "他要睡觉.." (my patient is awake then)
next she will put her down her lil flower print bag
and reach out her hands over her son and started to pray for him out loud.
though the son was expression-less but i can see that his heart rate increased to 100+
so i guessed he was listening.
then i asked the ah ma, "你每天都来吗？"
she said "对咯！我头痛，头晕 我也要来。在家里不安心。"
then i smiled.
today is 915 project.
i admit i did not preach any gospel.
but i saw this old ah ma ministered to her son..
it was heart-warming...
so deep down, i can only pray that
this patient of mine will one day
acknowledge that mother's love...
and from there he'll see God's love.
"Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins" - 1Peter 4:8

weird weird de.
for so many years,
every sunday is go-ah-ma-hse day.
but this sunday onwards,
it's no longer go ah-ma-hse day.
will we ever play bang, play monopoly deal, play munchkins again
on that old marble floor?
will we ever have sleepovers again?
will we play with lanterns again?
will we sit under the moonlight and talk again?
will we have our own christmas party again?
probably its time to grow up!
i dunno if i'm to sensitive or what,but u're looking at me right?what had happened, already happened.i'm not going to bear grudges to what you've said.let's just move on and continue to serve the Lord.don't worry. we'll all be fine =)

trust is the key to a relationship.
"your closest person became your worst ememy"
i guessed that's what betrayal is all about.
then followed by backstabbing
and finally a brokened relationship.
i always tell myself,
i must not judge people.
there and then,
i trust people easily.
a lot of people warned me,
not to trust people easily.
i need to exercise judgement.
but i guess, i'll choose to trust.
even if things went wrong,
i'll learn to trust him/her again.

good morning world.
i couldn't sleep.
probably due to the caramel macchiato i've drank earlier in the day.
probably thinking about a sad story that my friend have yet share to me.
probably worrying about a bestie's grandfather and her family.
probably it's just me, tired of being strong.
