Mood for the day

Taken when I'm in the library...

Caged...

A day with the newly Grads

After the practice at CSCO (which I 'pong' half-way), I rushed down to VTH to attend Ah Mui's and Stuckup's graduation ceremony. We took some photos at the VTH.



Of course, with Stuckup and me around as the photographer, there won't be without some 'arty' pictures.

Eh! You throw your square hat too high la!

Meow actually forgot about thier graduation ceremony. Why, 'cause she overslept.

Some freind she is...

After some fooling around at VTH, we proceed to the Supreme Court for more photo taking.





And more 'arty' photos taken by me.

Stuckup's childhood dream is to be a lawyer... Nah...

Hmm... Ah Mui is right, Botak take photo not nice. Hahaha...

I'm so proud of you two. Meow, you're next wor...!

TBIF *Updated entry for today*

Yes, it's TBIF instead of TGIF. 'cause I'm a buddhist what... So Thank Buddha It's Friday lor...

Today my class ends around 11am. By right, I can go home after that, but I decided to stay back to accompany Da, JB and SC for thier clinical practical test, which is around 2pm. Anyway, I got practice in the evening.

We spent our time in the practice lab, going through the procedures and drugs that may/or/definitely be coming out for the test. But toward the end, SC, JB and I are playing with our DSs (SC just bought her pink DS. Yes! Another fellow Gamer in the making!).

We've been chased out of the lab around 1.40pm by the technican. So we have to sit outside, along the corridor of the labs. While waiting, I'm sitting outside the lab blogging the first half of this entry while Da is beside me, peeping at me blogging while pretending to do last minute studying and SC walking up and down the corridor due to nervousness. JB was already sent to his doom, so he's not around disturbing me by the time I'm typing these entry.

Thank goodness I have my laptop keep me from dosing off.

Hail to campus-wide wireless!

After Da went in to take her test, I went to CO Room to charge my laptop as it's running low on battery. And I just stayed there until my practice starts.

Hai...

I haven't been going home early since starting of this semster. When can I have a REAL BREAK!?!?!

Anyway, Congrats JB, SC and Da for passing your test! Now the rest of the class will have a higher moral and confidence.

And to Fi: Get well soon! Don't worry too much, you will be still as sweet as ever.

*We must forgive, but we shall never forget*

RX goes Botak

Finally, I cut, shaved to be precise, my hair.

After getting some encouragement from Ah Mui, Stuckup and Meow, I decided to go Botak. It's been some time since I go Botak, and its a welcoming change for me (my head feels COOL~~~) . No more hassle in combing hair (or what was left of it) and Gutsby all over my scalp.

Shiny~~~

No, I'm not under huge stress... Well, maybe a little. But I'm fine. I'm fed up with my recceding hair line la. Like the other baldies say: If you can't fix it, shave it.

Too bad can't go skin head thought, or else I'll look like the Laughing Buhhda.

Hahaha...

眼镜，眼镜，找朋友。。。

Hello peeps...

My group is having Socio ICA (for those who don't know what it is: Trust me, you don't wanna know) presentaion. We come up with a role-play to present our two article: Nurses going to see a psychiatrist, and me play the Doc's role named Dr. Bowlan Chow (think Hokkien...).


My character's job is just sit there, smile, and listen. Really do nothing right?

Hahaha...

After the role play, we're bombarded with questions by Bel. Luckily Aza saves the day for us. Now you all may think she's been nasty, but Bel's actually buying time for us as we're running a little too fast. Thanks Bel! While we're lingering putside the tutorial rooms, my classmate took interest in my big glasses. Some worn it and took pictures.

Maybe these kinda glasses may made a comeback eh?

As we're walking to attend lecture, I realise Aza and I are like 黑白配. Him being darker wearing all white and I being fairer wearing all black. It's like the Devil wearing Angel's siut while the Angel wearing the Devil's suit... Only that both of us are neither.

While we're at the lab, we decided to do more of our own role play:

*Playing Star Wars theme at the back ground*

Long, long time ago, in a ward far, far far away. Two health care personnel are handling a great crisis they had yet encounter...

Aza: Doc! Miss Dummy is complaining of chest pain... Again!
RX: Hai... Ok, ok. I'll see what I can do...


*Checking the dummy...*

RX: Uhm... Ah Hah! You will be fine Miss. I'll give you some medication to relive your pain ok?


*Whispering to Nurse...*

RX: Eh Brudder... Next time just give her M&Ms when she complains of chest pain lah! I very Busy one ok!

Aza: Oh so sorry Doc....


Will they ever find a cure for the chest pain? Will the nurse give M&Ms to Miss Dummy? We will never know as there won't be anymore episodes coming up...

EVER!

*Star Wars theme fading away*

Of course real doctors and nurses won't be so unprofessional lah... School work very stress leh... Need to relak right? So who says nurses are boring, nerdy bunch of peeps?

好无聊。。。

I'm so sian~~~

Here I am, sitting outside the practice studio doing nothing, while Vic beside me poking at my NDS away. Grow up man!

While I'm chatting with one of my ex-camp mate, CPL 高老, I remember I took a photo of a bridge near the Clark Quay:


I think he should go walk across it to when he ORD.

ORD LOR!

Hahaha...

Black Sunday

Why Black Sunday you ask?

'Cause the fluorescent light in my room burnt out, my computer is acting wierd and my internet connection is super slow. So I need to go to McDees to use their network in order to liase with Fi. So now I'm working in a place where there's lot of children crying in and running around!!!

But all these are not the main reason that make tonight a (other than it's night time now) Black Sunday for me.

Fi and I have to reorganise our assignment's powerpoint because for Someone is not doing a proper job.

It's in a mess. All the slides are jumbled up!

The article that I'm doing really giving me a headache. I can't think of much reason why it is relavent to the topic we're doing.

I really hope we could get through this presentation.

'Wait, it IS 'Parish Nursing' all over again...'

Paracetomol, Paracetomol, Antacid

All right, all right...

For those who feels my blog is collecting dust,

I am sorry.

I am sorry that I can't clean off the dust that appears to be the fragment of your hallucination with my mouse.

Hahahaha.....

Peace.

I need some inspiration to blog what... 灵感！灵感！ 灵感来了！

For the pass few days, I have to do a summary of an article for my next ICA. The thing is, I don't understand half of the article! There's lots of different statistic findings and tables all over the place. It was until I read finish the whole thing that I realise only the last few pages are useful! Man, this is the hardest article (the second one, actually) I came across so far.

We have four secondary school student came to join us in our class for this week. Why are they here? Well, it's a program that thier school and mine came up with: to let the students expereince the misera-, I mean, the life of polytechnic students. It didn't affect us much though. We still behave the way we always do: a group of crazy poeple. Surprisingly, they thought were hard working, boring (we ARE hardworking, Study hard, play HARDER!!!) bunch of peeps until they see what we do at the back of the LT... I'm not gonna elaborate on that.

Yesterday, we're taught on how the dispense and serving medications. It brings back memories of the day's I was in the medical centre dispense room where I spend my time giving out many, cough mixtures, flu tablet, cream for foot rot, panadol, blah blah blah... Anyway, the lesson is very important because medication error is very common on the ward. But I can't concentrate because that Stupid JB kept disturbing and rest of the class and me. So I rolled up my workbook and whacked him on his head with it.

*WWHHAAACCCKKKK!!!!!*

Stop it JB! Or else the next time I'll get the whole class' crepe bandages and mummified you with them. Keep in mind that we all use them to practice bandaging skill... Imagine the smell....

Hahaha....

That evening, I went to attend the SO's concert, Sinfonia.



I feel the name of the concert and the programme booklet is nice. I actually dozed off while waitng for the concert to start. When I woke up, I found Jay Chou is sitting beside me!




Oh, it's just Vic. Shucks...

The whole Auditorim is fully seated sia... many of the people either have to stand or seat on the stairs and floor. I wonder if our upcoming concert will be like this...

As for my personal opinion, the concert is nice on the whole, but (there's always 'but') the String section are too soft because there too little String players and too many Brass and Woodwind players. furthermore, the String section were not playing for almost half of the concert. In the end, it's more like attending a concert band's performance, rather than a Symphony Orchestra.

Ok, that's all for now. Need to go do my drug card liao...

Ciao.

'It feels like 'Parish Nursing' all over again..'

Grandma

"Xiang ar... Jiak peng lou..."

Upon hearing Grandma's voice, my cousins and I would put down whatever (most of the time) we're playing and went down from the third level of their semi-bungalow to the dining room.

The dishes were the usual: Rice, claypot stew pork and skin and tau pok in soy sauce, long bean fried with minced dried shrimp chili, canned cocktail hotdogs and stir fry veggie.

She would be sitting at the dining table waiting for us to start our lunch, with her favorite Camel brand cigarette, sometimes the 'Ang Hun' in her hand and cup half filled with OX liquor in the dining table. At the end of the dining area, the Buddhist chant will be play from the CD play which was on the altar.

She would tell us about her past. How she became the head chef of a certain restaurant back in the old days, how she have to be very careful with the money in order to raise my mom and my auntie after my grandpa passed away.

At times, when I went to visit her, she will be in her room watching teochew opera on the TV, while smoking her 'Ang Hun'. I will twiched my nose as I hate the smell of the smoke. She will always ask me how's school, whether I've got enough money to spend and when will I start having a girlfriend and bring her here. I'll always nod to her every question.

Grandma passed away 4 years ago at afternoon, in a ward at TTSH. She passed away peacefully, while my mom, my uncle and auntie and I by her bedside. She told us she do not like people crying in fort of her. So we hold back our tear until the moment she took her last breath.

Questions that I'm tried of listening are lost words that I yearn to hear again. Smells and tastes that I once thought are foul and bland are now sensations I seek to experience once more.

If I could have one day, just one more day with her, I'll spend just like the days we spent in the house.

The simple joys of Life...
