Changes in me

While I was cleaning up my drawer, I came acrossed some photos of my old self:


The above photo was taken when I was in primary school. Ah... The age of the innocence... Yup, I was sure nerdy back then. Hey, I still have that specs with me! Then I found another taken during my trip to Melborne with TPCO.

Ya ya... I've grown quite a bit then... I think this was taken when I was in sec 4.

But the most shocking photos are the these taken during one of the X'mas:



OH MY GOSH! Is that me?

Man! What happened to me since then!?!?!?!

Sure I look a bit gay back then, but look how slim I was compared to now! Depressing sia...

That's it. I'm gonna slim down now.

Happy Lunar New Year Peeps! Here's some photos I took yesterday while I went to Mdm Seah's (my secondary school form teacher) house for a visit. This is the 1st time we went to her house on time.

While waiting for the bus, I took a picture of the people invovled in this visit. The usual gang, and Wai who 'You Qin Ke Cuan'. Hahaha...

Ah Mui and I. Look at those eye bags. Tsk, tsk...

V. Day Plus One

I had exams for the past 2 days... Yes, exam on V. Day! How pathetic is that? Not that I had anyone to celerbrate with (though I had someone in mind...), but it's still quite depressing to mug when everyone else are dressing up for thier date.

What's more, I can go for the BBQ yesterday 'cause I haven't even finished studying half the book. Missed lotsa fun man...

Well, at least today is not so bad. Today's paper is not as tough as I thought. Should be able to at least pass.

And...

I was able to spend some quality time with GF. Though we were interrupted for a short time, it still not so bad. Ahahaha...

Alright... Too tired liao.

Ciao.

A Tired Week, A Beautiful Sunday


A collage for all my buddies in EVCO. It has been around seven years already eh? Here's to our friendship, 老朋友!

Man... I feel real tired after the performance. I do not have the drive like I used to have anymore... But though we're tired, DK, Xiu and I went to Far East to meet up with the Zheng Bro. Gang for some last minute clothes shopping (we didn't really go shopping. Xiu went to be thier fashion consaultant. DK and I are like her bodyguard. Hahaha...).

When we reached there, I surprised to see lots of familiar faces: around 15 of them! It's like there's gonna have a gang fight lah! Hahaha...

After we're done in Far East, the Zheng Bro. Gang proceed to Hereen while me and Xiu went to Watson to as she needs to buy some stuff. The next thing I knew was I'm looking at pads. 'You should handle these stuff at attachment, right?' Xiu said.

Wah liao... what I always helped patient to put on are adult daipers lah! Where got wings one!?!


---------------------------------------------------------------------


Attachment is over!

It has been a friutful 3 weeks. Ive learned lots of stuff and experience. Some good, many sad. AZ and I come to realised that Life is really fragile. Some came in for major illness, but later ound out that they got other more serious problems... A few patients passed away during our posting to the ward. Some seems fine during the weekdays but over the weekends, thier conditions deteriorates... and they moved on. There's one uncle which is my favoratie patient that I always talked to. He'll always ask me have I eaten.

But by the last week of my attachment, he became like another person. He seldom talks. Most of the time he would be staring at the ceiling. Once, he asked me to bring him down to the ground floor because he thought he had to go cook. He's in the hospital. Why would he need to cook? Other times he would refer himself in third person...

Real sad...

Ok, enough of depressing stuffs. That's all for now. Too lazy to write more.

Hahaha...

Ciao.

Repercussion

Man...

It's damn cold now, plus I'm having morning sinus. Now feels like some drug addict sia...

What a nice way to start a day...

After cleaning so much crap and pee, it has some side effect to my nose. Now even my own pee and poo smells different. Whenever I smells certain perfume, I reminds me of the ward and crap.

Shucks...

Real bad repercussion man...

Last week of attachment. Exams' next week and I've yet to start on revision.

Wish me luck Peeps...

I smell crap

Today's been a 'off-form' day. Maybe it's due to the case study that I have to hand in by today. Fortunately, I'm able to finish it within four hours before I went to work.

The past two weeks went by swiftly. I've gotten use to the ward and the staff there. I also came to realise that most of the staff are a bit 'mad'.

I understand why now.

In order to stay survive in this kinda hectic enviroment, one has to be insane to stay... well, sane. Sounds illogical? I guess I am. Looks like I'm soon becoming one of them....

Hahaha...

I've met two interesting cases during these time. One is a dementia old men, who's on restraint order. He can't walk, but will always tried to climb out of the bed. So we have to restrain him on his bed so that he will not suffer from any injury from fall. When got caught, he will deny what he did and find all sorts of reasons to get outta it. Let's name him 'Act Blur 1' (AB1).

Other is an old man who came in for asthma. He can't control his bowel and bladder at times and had pee and crap on the floor on many occasions. He likes to walk ard the ward, thus crap all over the place. Everyday, we have to change the bed sheet and he's clothes for him at least five times. He too likes to deny what he did. Let's name him 'Act Blur 2'.

AB1 and AB2 soon became good friends. Whenever AB2 been restraint, AB1 will try to untie the restrainer. They well talk during the night, making other patients unable to have a good night's sleep.

Today, AZ and I get the chance to restrain AB2 before we end our shift. When we start, AB1 came to the rescue.

While tying the restrainer...

AB2: (In hokkien) What are you doing?

RX: We're trying to prevent him from falling off the bed and injured himself.

AB2: Oh... But why tied up his hand?

RX: So he won't climb out of the bed. If he fall again, he'll have to stay longer in the hospital. Same goes for you. If you fall and injured, you'll have to stay longer in the hospital. And if you goes around and keep disturbing people, we may also need to put you on restrain. You understand?

AB2: (Trying to be sarcastic) I understand what you're saying. But I dunno what you said are true or not.

RX: (Shurgs) Well, you can try and test us to see if we will restrain you lor...

AB2: (Backing away a bit) .......

AB1: Eh Missy ar... I want to call my wife.

RX: Why you wanna call her?

AB1: I want her know that I'm here.

RX: Oh, I called her just now. She knows that you're here, ok?

AB1: (Fustrated look) .....

Of course, he's just finding excuses to get the restrainer off, so I told a white lie to him. You may think I've been mean to them. I know I must have empathy for them. But sometimes you have to be firm or else they'll climb over you head. Last night after work, AZ and JB told me I've been to soft on the patients. That's why I'm the one who always get the crap (both literally and non-literally) from the patients.

No more 'Mr Nice Guy' for you two, AB1 and 2, until you play nice.
