| its getting towards the end of the year again.
some hope that 2009 will continue to linger on.
some hope can't wait for 2010 to come.
as for me, it doesn't really matter, cause i don't think it makes any difference.
2008, 2009 and even 2010, it should be more or less the same?
looking back at 2009, indeed i'd achieved quite a bit.
i survived the busiest sem of my undergrad days.
i survived a sem with 6 modules while most of my other peers are having 4.
i survived alternate tuesdays where i have 12 hours straight of lectures and tutorials.
but i did enjoyed myself taking those extra modules.
i learnt, i laughed and most importantly i pressed on when the going gets tough.
i survived 9 weeks straight of clinical attachments, and still standing strong.
i survived the dayssss where i have to wake up at 5am for morning shifts :(
i survived all walking 10 mins to the nearest bus stop to take the winding bus to SGH for 8 weeks.
my leg is still serving me well though it feels like breaking down on most occasions after every shift.
through all these i've grown as a nurse-to-be. i'm given the chance to experience how life is when i graduate. working life, social life, politics, etc...
i won't say all of these experiences are sweet, some are real bitter, but it'd made me grow, hopefully to be a better nurse.
i survived 6 months serving in gkidz.
i survived waking up at 6.30am on few occasions just to report for duty.
i survived all those lonesome mrt rides from one end of the island to almost the other end.
for the next generation of warriors, its all worth it.
i survived Rondalla's 'torture' for a whole year now.
i survived the blistered finger after each practice.
though hasn't able to attend cell thanks to it, nontheless, the friends made, the skills honed and the time spent is worth it.
i'll only live my uni life once, and this i-once-hated-it-so-much CCA will brought back much fond memories when i graduate later.
i survived exams for the 5th semester in NUS, which might be the last of my normal semester.
i will certainly not miss exam, especially exam in NUS.
and thank God i only have 1 more paper next sem, and another one in the whole of my honours year.
though i had a love-hate relationship for the exam schedule this sem, looking at my results, i think i should love it more. as this is the first time my SAP broke 4 :)
the few fun trips i made this year.
and all the fun times with the buddies eating and chatting away.
and all the new found friends and bonds made.
may i take all these with me to the next year.
as for the emo days, disappointment, the broken heart, and the shitty life, please stay back in 2009 and leave me alone :p
Happy 2010 everyone!
it will be a good year ahead! :D

| giving thanks once again for the little things that i least expect it.
giving thanks for the people around who just make things a little bit different every time.
giving thanks to the project mates for accepting my laziness and accepting me for who i am. :S
and giving thanks for the many things i learned this semester and more when intense studying is going on.
almost ending my 5th semester, with only a little CA, a field trip, finals and clinical attachments awaiting.
it'd been a busy sem, but good thing all the deadlines are pretty spread out.
at least it allows me a breather after every submission/deadline/test.
though my SUPER BAD habit of last-minute-work is still there, but thankfully they still worked out fine, not as bad as i expect it to be.
i just hope things will stay this way for ANOTHER sem, which might be my last sem here in NUS :S
so yeah exams would be up next.
and i seriously DREAD HATE DESPISE DISLIKE LOATH ABHOR (ok this is my limited vocab) exams. cause i'll be super tensed and super stressed that i don't even recognise myself.
sigh, that's part of the education, its another part of learning, to see where you don't know, then work on it.
but the problem is, who the heck bothers to check out your textbooks etc after exams?!!!!! especially when they don't even point out what went wrong.
anyway some pics to share wrt my second performance with Rondalla.
so for once me in formal wear playing the double bass. am liking the bass more as compared to last year. and i'm also super glad that there's the 'apprentice' beside me. :) he's making tremendous progress in this few months i must say. and he's also super diligent that he'll actually make extra effort to go down to practice, unlike me! :X so looks like i can go for clinicals in peace next sem, and don't have to worry if i graduate after next sem!!
half a year in the EXCO team indeed enables me to learn a lot from here.
as the only non-china-nationality in the EXCO, i learnt a lot of funny expressions and cultures from them. and omg they can be SOOO lame, though some times i just don't catch their cheem-mandarin joke! :p nonetheless they're one fun bunch of peeps who never fails to talk crap and cheer each other up after a long hard practice.
and sometimes guys still have to be more gentlemen-like. perhaps staying in nursing for tooooo long that i've been drowned by the seas of estrogen, to remember this fact! cause my classmates won't really wait for us guys to help them before they do something, they'll just gather their own kind in great numbers and proceed! where as in rondalla, all, omg i stress again, ALL things that requires carrying and pushing and pulling and crashing and banging and ... are done by the guys! the girls pretty much just, stand and pose and wait and chat and occasionally whine. ok i'm exaggerating here. :X
so i would say sometimes it may be tough, with new commitments here and there. but i did enjoy myself quite a bit, and at least broaden my social circle too :)
a good performance for rondalla, a good exposure for many of us, and a good publicity to the public of who we are and what we're doing.
omg if i'm going for honours year, i hope to join the team to PHILIPPINES!!! woooot! :p

| lalala its 6am and i am still here lala-ing away..
*my smelly smoking neighbour is still awake also?!!*
not that i don't want to sleep, but i did like nil stuffs since 10pm just now.
yes procrastinator i am!
julia is as if lying there gasping for air, waiting for me to nurse her.
and i hate her for having the irritating ectopic pregnancy which is so not fun to deal with! ish!!!
but i couldn't care less! deadline is extended anyway, i've got another 2 days to finish it up.
~oh my 2 days!!! HELP!!!!!  ~
i'm more concern about the number of rockfold cheese i collected from mousehunt, and the stupid silly card i got from mythmonger. HAHA..
*i just reached level 16 in mythmonger?!  *
if only i can channel all my time reading stupid mousehunt and mythmonger forum to the time i read my articles and textbook, i might have finished half of my case study by now! *shrugs*
ok i better continue reading.
after this sunday, time to get my new precious ipod touch and time for some fun in the club!
yummz liquor do wait for me! :)

| its the last day of school for week 9, and lets rejoice shall we! :)
and we officially finished our O&G! *tears of joy*
finally i'm set free from the female repro system nightmare!! :SS
and happily welcoming the arrival of peads! :)
*ok i just skipped my first peads lecture, thanks to the case study.*
fine no i don't detest every part of O&G.
i must say i enjoyed some of the lab session quite a bit. :)
its not everyday you can play with some quak-quak vagina speculum.
and its not everyday you get to see such angelic babies :)
ok although they are fake, but still, they are adorable.
ok this is for posing purposes, she taken! :)
i must admit, some babies are not that cute.
and even worst when they're crying...
but when this funny thing can do some acrobats, its not too bad after all..
ok i must say this is the most disgusting thing ever, its cold, slimy, soft to touch, and just smells...
but this wonderful thing kept all of us alive while we're inside our mummy's tummy.
and this thing can cause a hell lot of trouble to the mummy if its not properly expelled.
oh this thing is your, placenta. its edible, just fyi...
unless you're in O&G class, you'll not be able to play with a SUPER FAKE testes.
its so fake that i don't mind having balls on my face. :X
and best of all last but not least, introducing the.................
boobies........
ok this is for practice purposes, and 2 out of 3 are abnormal boobs, they've got mass inside somewhere.
that's how they teach us to distinguish normal boobs from abnormal boobs.
and other than O&G class, i guess its hard to find anywhere else you get to touch all you want eh? learn about all these. :)
ok there's another set of photos, which are really R-rated, so can't post up here.
it'll serve as a memory for me, i still LoL when i see it now. haha...

| so shadowing finally comes to an end for me.
for some reason i actually like shadowing, and i wonder am i the only one who likes it.
a lot of my friends just wish to get over and done with it asap.
as for me, i take my own sweet time to finish it, and even go for extra.
well its much much better than our normal attachments.
i can licitly ignore the ever-annoying call bell.
they will not ask me to do even the slightest chore like taking para etc.
and best of all, i don't have to scurry around the ward doing those mundane routine.
feel so pampered that i can just follow my clinician when she's making her rounds.
and i get to learn a lot from the dr's round too.
like seriously too information overload.
too bad they are not my patients, as in i'm never involve in their care, so a lot of times i am very lost during the rounds as all the drs in the team know the patients quite well already.
and drs are really fun ppl. they are so willing to teach, and are ready to learn from each other.
the consultant takes a long time to debrief his 2 students everytime after the rounds.
the reg will point out new things to her MO to note.
and sometimes the consultant will even ask and learn his MO :)
i think this is so lacking in nursing? no?
speaking of drs.
i was rather impressed by this Dr.S during my few weeks there.
she really 'zai' imo.
and somehow from the kaypoh-ish internet, i found out that she is from KUCHING!!
and possibly from GRSS!!!!!
ah so proud of her. :):)
many of you may not know, my shadowing clinician's speciality is neurology.
so i've been lurking in and out of neuro ward throughout my whole shadowing time.
its been an eye opener for me really.
but i don't know if i want to choose neuro as a possible speciality now.
i once quite like neuro, but after this shadowing, i might think twice.
well perhaps neuro really is too complicated for me to handle.
and seeing the same type of patients day in and day out can be quite boring to me.
maybe i shall just go to gen med ward, then i can see every other thing under the sun?
hmmmm....
whatever it is, I HATE O&G!
ok i know there's no connection wrt the above statement.
just being random.
so shadowing comes to an end.
its time to do my case study.
shit i barely started.
ah and the blog?!!!
oh well....
*fingers crossed*
i WILL be able to finish it one time.
