the reason why i feel demoralized
Sunday, November 30, 2008 2:35 PM   Good-bye, Fong Chin. I've tried ways and means to persuade you to stay on; but till the end, you are quite determined to leave this course. I respect your decision, and wish you all the best as you return to the workforce. I'll never forget the days we had in NUH; and will always miss you. My group is reduced to a pathetic number of 5; and for the remaining presentations & projects, we've to find ways and means to cover her part; and jagga.. However, we can all do it right? I know all of us is affected emotionally; but let's move on.. Like I said before, we all came into this course for the same reason; to help people.. N with this lil sincere heart of ours, i'm sure we can accomplish many things & touch many lives. The stake for quitting is now raised to $22K, and with the economic downturn & all, it sure is a huge sum of money to compensate the hospital. Got a little teary just now because of stress from projs and biology tests coming up; thank God tt D was around to comfort me..and even offering to help pay for me if I decide to quit. I must not quit and let many down.. I must move on...
my first warning letter for this sem.. ;P oh dear!
Wednesday, November 26, 2008 9:59 PM yay, i managed to run another 3 rounds today, after my HA assessment. talking abt it, we had to draw lots to decide which system to perform; and i picked cardiovascular & peripheral system; that was close! (i was very confident of that and by the grace of God, all things went well) sun rong picked abdomen and while percussing for my liver span, i almost had to remove my bra due to mdm asmah's promptings; it was so embarassing! ;P i also received my first warning letter today for this semester; my mentor asked me to see her so that i could sign and acknowledge that i indeed skipped lessons. and my excuse was 'i overslept..' which was true eh? to a certain extent. lol.. anyway, they said that they will fax the reminder letter to st luke's, how great eh? anyway i'm not the only one la.. there's still others.. *defensive* haha i've a feeling my braces is gonna hurt big time, tightened today; and i already experienced a bit of diffculty eating subway. bad sign. anyway, after today's slacking and movie (beverly hill chihuahua), i'm gg to start mugging for my biology test next thursday; which covers endocrine and nervous system which is half the book, absolutely scary. i also have 2 presentations next week. and 31st dec, i'm having nursing lab theory test. and on 2nd jan 09, i'm having nursing lab practical test covering injections and IV drip.. hey, i'm so frustrated; i can't celebrate my new year anymore.. my sch timetable clashes with a lot of things; probably because my semester starts in apr.. oh gosh. can anyone save me pretty pleaseeee??? enough of ranting. let's hope for a better tomorrow. oh, by the way, read in the magazine about crazy names which celebrities like to name their children. rob morrow's daughter is named 'tu morrow' which rhymes with tomorrow. aren't u making a joke out of your daughter's name? and another one, 'pilot inspektor' (son of jason michael lee, an american actor) how crazy can the parents be?
my day..
Tuesday, November 25, 2008 6:52 PM managed to get up at 6.30am today, reached sch at 8am and ran for 2 rounds before it started pouring. i like the feeling of running; it makes me feel less stressful and healthier. you shld have seen the way we squat down underneath the hand dryer to blow dry our hair in the loo, was so funny. lking forward to thurs's run as well.. brought my beauty and rosy down for a walk after i reached home fr sch; and boy, were they excited! gave them a good bath and powdered them with lots of powder afterwards; cutee. ok, i feel tt i've accomplished a lot of things today.. back to memorising HA for practical assessment tmr. =) cheers..
presenting to you: mr & mrs reginald low
Sunday, November 23, 2008 10:36 PM over the weekend, witnessed the blissful union of reginald and cindy magdelene at st. andrew's cathedral; it was a great wedding with good company. most of the time, were tied down at the reception table, overwhelmed by the amt of guests swarming in but really enjoy working with the reception team: shu huai, pei yi and celine. the buffet sit-down luncheon held at trader's hotel were marvellous; wide variety to choose from; endless salmon, ribs, salad, delicious cakes etc.. was quite amazed. also took the opportunity to steal some shots before things got real busy at the reception in the morning, and thankew dear for driving me to and fro. btw, reginald's mom introduced me to her daughter, catherine. it turns out that she was my course mate in ngee ann poly; used to bump into her quite often in NP; she majored in marketing while i majored in HR. singapore is really a small place..isn't it? catherine's quite a chatty girl, hope to see her ard more often. =)      good luck to my jiemeis for their health assessment practical tmr morning. it's definately not easy, but try to maintain your cool when facing the examiner ya? i spent the entire weekend burned on writing cue cards and memorising it.. my practical exam's on wed; first one in line. i've to remb to wear loose clothings; gotta lift up my top for my partner (sun rong) to examine during her turn. it's pretty embarrassing yeah? but jiayou jiayou jiayou, we've to pass!   okay, there's still 2 more weddings to look forward to. tina & vk's wed at st andrew's cath on 13th dec, zhong & ivy's wed at st andrew's cath on 1st jan 09. it's a series of weddings this year, i guess it's quite exciting for the newly weds, to enter into a new phase of life with all your other friends too. btw, all the couples who're getting married happened to be from my cellgrp. only a few of us are left, single.. great. :P
let go let go
Monday, November 17, 2008 8:27 PM i really had a good time over at zhongling bro's wedding, helping out at the reception table.. it seems that for almost all the weddings i attended, i'm involved in the reception area.. hiak. it has been a long time since i last saw the girls, and i can't describe the happy-ness in me when i saw them.. and congratulations to my bestie jean wee on your engagement!      just some updates about my life. i've been busy with school as usual, and has been learning injections in sch. for the next attachment, i'm supposed to be "actively" doing injections on my patients. and i'm considered 2nd year already, how fast right? oh, we're practicing on a sponge.. are u afraid??!    over the weekend, there've been many ups and downs. dear God, u know it all.. i pray that You teach me how to forgive and forget. people might pass judgement on me and even though it seems like not much of a big deal, but it really pricks me inside. i run to You, Lord because I know that i'm safe in Your arms, in Your embrace.. pls let me forget about unhappy things. let go let go...leticia, you've a problem; you always remb unhappy things..big problem, learn to let go let go of unhappy things..
have You been "eating" well?
Tuesday, November 11, 2008 9:35 PM i've been eating brown rice for the past 2 days, heard fr Yumi tt it helps her to slim down aft she ate tt consistently for a few months. mom had already been eating tt religiously as it's definately a healthier choice, even before my decision to convert to brown rice. my recent food indulgence is vegetables and brown rice.. a 360degree change from a girl who used to eat fast food like nobody's business, cutting down so much on fast food. my skin condition has improved quite a fair bit..and my constipation problem is long gone! =) the wonder effects of veggies and drinking lots of water! after i got into the nursing course and studying so much about diseases, it kind of scares me.. especially considering that my mom and dad has a history of medical diseases. diseases with high mortality rates in singapore.. i'm in the high-risk group, given my family history. no doubt i'm worried so i've learned to control my diet and cut down on fast food. i've to learn to take care of myself b4 i can take care of them & other ppl. it kind of led me in reflecting about my spiritual walk. likewise, we must "eat" everyday to stay healthy and strong. what i meant by "eat" is religously reading your bible and spending time with God. once you stop "eating" spiritually, you slip away, so fast tt you don't even realizes it.. i must put in more effort to make sure i "eat" everyday. have You been "eating" everyday? Find rest my soul In Christ alone
Jesus. I lay it all down again..
Sunday, November 9, 2008 10:02 PM i'm longing for You. I'm seeking You. You said that if I seek you with all of my heart I shall find You. sometimes I can't feel You. sometimes I feel that You have forgotten about me. sometimes I can't see You working in my life. but Jesus, i'm still longing for You. i'm still longing to be loved by You. i'm seeking you with all of my heart.. pls don't hide Your face away from me anymore.. Help me know that You are near.
7th mthsary @ cafe del mar
10:56 AM and so..we celebrated our 7th mth-sary at cafe del mar, a beach dinning place and pub located at sentosa, siloso beach. it was a great evening, tho i thought it would be better if we had arrived slightly earlier to catch the sunset fr our table.. service wasn't exactly fantastic either, but well, the ambience and good view really makes up for it all. there wasn't a wide variety of mains. we ordered a red crab and lobster bisque, roasted chicken with herbs, creamy spaghetti (i forgot the name of the dish) and fries. i'll love to come here again to chill out.. great music, great ambience. and there's beach babes/hunks hanging out at the pool area.. hiak. anyway, i presume the angmohs really love this place, saw quite a number. lastly, wanna thank dearest for the treat! happy 7th mth-sary to you and me.. peektures of cafe del mar from the official website: 
bad flu
Saturday, November 8, 2008 12:58 PM i'm having a bad flu which is extremely irritating. every few seconds, i'll go ahhhh-choooo and this goes on from the morning till now. it's making me have a bad headache; and i'm getting really sleepy after a dose of clarinase which's supposed to be non-sedating.. ahh, no. i've to carry on studying for my bio test on tues..and, not to forget pharmacology test on fri. anyway, i've watched madagascar 2 yesterday after cell. it wasn't as nice as i expected, although it's funny to some extent. maybe my expectation is getting a lil too high for this movie. i'm looking forward to another movie which is coming soon to theatres (beverly hills chihuahua), it looks funny tho dearest thinks that it's sort of lame.. today is my 7th mthsary with dearest, and we'll be going to bottle tree village in the evening, after he fin work.. (poor thing right? still working so hard on a sat..) hmm.. let's hope that it'll be a nice walk down there.. we deserve some good food after scrimping and saving for the past weeks. or rather, "attempting" to scrimp and save in order to see more money in our acc.. haha. anyway, i think i'll be pretty broke this month. i've 2 weddings to attend for this month alone (reginald/cindy's wedding, zhongling's bro wedding) sometimes i feel it's really very difficult to survive with my pathetic allowance.. i've not been shoppin for clothes for quite some time already... boo. i think i deserve a short nap now.. *snoreeess.ss.*
never be too complacent
Tuesday, November 4, 2008 9:22 PM it seems that we've been on the wrong track for our adult nursing project..and my part and doreen's need some major re-construction. it requires quite a fair bit of hard work.. almost fainted when i heard the news. but still, luckily doreen went to check it out with mdm asmah; if not we'll be criticised badly during presentation. was a little flying over the moon in the noon when i predicted and announced to my group that we'll probably get to strike 2 projects off the list by evening time since we'll be meeting up to collate our work. but was badly shaken when i know that we're a little off track.. mdm asmah la, she nv phrased her ppt qn properly can? the moral of the story is to: never be too complacent. doctor yong sprang a surprise "attack" on us today during lecture. he wanted to set our biology test on thurs; which is the day after. but we've totally no time to study..so the class begged him to push the date to tuesday. he's always like that.. giving us surprise tests. there's good & bad.. good pt is tt it pushes us to study. whereas bad point is.. it kinda spoils all my plans for the week. ahh.. the only comfort i've from today is probably my dinner with my dearest earlier on. seeing him has never felt this good after such a long and tiring day. we went for dinner at this restaurant named "different taste restaurant" opp his place at west coast, near wac! you guys shld probably try it. it's nice.. and not too exp. i esp love the crabmeat fried rice and rojak. here's some pics during health assessment class taken a few days ago. we were too bored, or should i say i was too bored and initate a mini photo taking session? my dearest jean wee complains that my blog has no pictures.. here's some to keep u entertained for e moment, muacks. 
the power of durians..
Monday, November 3, 2008 4:07 PM such is the power of durians.. my excessive indulgence in durians for the past two days has caused me to have a little fever and bad headache now. when i'm breathing, i can feel the hot breath.. the remedy will be to; drink more water.. what else? i skipped my mental health lecture just to come back home earlier to rest since my mental health lecturer's mostly telling us stories about her, patients in IMH and the "horrors" of working in IMH. talking bt it, let's see how i'll survive in IMH when i go 4 attachment this sem.. good night.
nic vujicic in town, 09/11 1pm @ expo
Sunday, November 2, 2008 9:05 PM this man who's an australian, named Nic who was born limbless is now coming to singapore to preach next sunday (09/11) at expo 1pm. i've heard so much about him & even watched dvds on him at D's place.. and i'm really so excited to see him in person, to hear of his testimony.. and how God worked miracles and spurred him to now become a motivational speaker, preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ despite his circumstances. wow.. it's not easy. you may click here to see a short video on him. and do let me know if you will be interested to go as well.. i'll be going with my dad and D, and hopefully my brother. yups.
prjs and songs come in a pair
Saturday, November 1, 2008 1:11 PM i always love to listen to songs while doing my projects. and on this peaceful saturday afternoon, i'm listening to new songs from Haoting and i chanced upon this really nice song by 后弦. Look, I don't really know who he is; so don't bother asking me about it. Perhaps you might want to listen to his new song which i really love here. i feel so good when i manage to clear projects, one by one. stones are lifted off from my heart, one by one. and i thank God for blessing me with a very patient bf who's willing to keep me company while i opt to stay at home & do my projects on a saturday. and..luckily, he knows how to entertain himself (by sleeping) while i'm busy. lol the weeks are flying by, faster and faster. new projects are coming in and more tests are coming up. my health assessment test is coming up in week 7; another few wks more. we're expected to examine our classmate (as our patient) fr head to toe.. evrything from: the thorax.lungs system, abdomen, cardiovascular, breasts.. srsly, we've no idea what we've been learning in class for HA; pace is too fast with lil practices opportunities. and yes, i think our lecturers are really getting all stressed up from teaching us. she commented that she's very worried for us as pace's too fast. what to do, you tell me? just move on lar. back to projects.
