my lunch - cha soba
Tuesday, March 31, 2009 4:48 PM  my very first attempt in making cha soba; thanks to the noodles from Yumi. i coupled my cha soba with miso soup, all nice and ready to serve by 2pm. also served with sauce dizzled onto the noodles just the way i like it. *loves i still got a long way to go before making presentable sushi. my knife's not sharp enough and when i cut the sushi, some rice will tend to fall out which makes it really ugly. this is frustrating. and, the taste well.. let's just say there's still room for improvement. *give myself an encouraging pat on the back
decoder's at balmoral plaza
Monday, March 30, 2009 10:14 AM let's re-wind a little. last friday (27/03) marks the end of my posting in IMH; everyone was happy abt it. we literally skip our way back home. my st luke's da jie was the best; she rushed off immd after our shift ended cos she had to rush to catch a flight to Australia & she'll be there holidaying for 2 weeks, envy of many others! my jiemeis (Yumi, Doreen, Sun Rong) will be travelling to Hong Kong, Bangkok, Taiwan respectively. And me? I'll be gg to Bintan. Great! Ok la, I shouldn't whine bt it.. As quoted fr Huiwen's blog, "life is too great to be tinted by complaints" Dee always say that I always whine and desire the things I don't have. Which is true. I do a lot of envying. Ok, I should probably get past that and srsly learn to count my blessings everyday. Yeah, I've a great bf, good health, great family, lovable dogs and great friends, what more can I ask for srsly? =) cheers. anyway, we went to this games cafe called "decoders" at balmoral plaza on saturday with dee's grp of jc friends. lovable people and good company. oh, btw, i tried "wafflestown" for the first time in my life and it really wasn't as gd as i expected; but well, it was still ok. =) here're some pics taken for the day. i actually took snapshots only; didnt take grp photo as i forgot to bring my digicam. (talking bt camera, i wanna get nikon d40 leh...)  on a sidenote, i'm meeting mao mao later to shop at IMM! ;)
evangelism
Thursday, March 19, 2009 10:27 PM i'm so glad and happy that i got to share Christ with a few patients today. i also managed to sing a few christian songs with them.. tmr i'm going to bring my daily bread and share with my patient! actually, this is the first time i've managed to open up to share Christ with my patients.. and i'm really excited!
today's not my day..tmr will be better! =)
Tuesday, March 17, 2009 5:10 PM finally managed to find time to transfer some of the pictures taken over the past weekend. dee and i decided to visit the asian civilisation musuem for the Kangxi - Forbidden City treasures exhibition. it's a rather rare chance that some of e treasures be brought into SG for exhibition. since dee is a avid history lover, i informed him the first thing i heard of this exhibition and off we went!  next is two cutie pies, who were at dee's place sometime back. and i grab hold of the chance to take pics w them since they'll be in US for the next few years. here's aven and adel, dee's niece and nephew! adel is really sucha sweet girl, she doesnt cry that much and she's just so adorable. aven, on the other hand, is quite attention seeking probably due to his age and e addition of adel into the family. but still, they're sucha treasures in the family. =)  sidetrack a little, today's full of mini shocks for me. trying to make sense of what the patient is saying is tiring. they're having delusions and it's difficult to bring them back to reality. one talked about being in the engineering line in britain & having to do some water pump thingy while the other boasted of his ability to communicate with our ministers in SG incld LKY, LHL.
beat
Monday, March 16, 2009 6:45 PM i think the best part of the day has gotta be returning home to a loving mom who have prepared a wonderful dinner for me. the worst part was probably when i had a shock when i entered IMH's ward. the patient's stares made me feel as if they are very deprived. a whole morning of orientation and touring, repeated reminders asking us to be alert and to be careful else we might risk getting attacked or molested. talking to patients meant standing away at an arm's length. waking up at 5am has gotta be the hardest part of the day. i'm very tired and i've decided to turn in at 9pm later else i can't wake up tmr at 445am. i'll be setting off to the armpit of singapore buangkok at 5am, and this really meant leading a farmer lifestyle for the whole of these 2 weeks. obviously, this is gonna be torture for me who lives in a far far away land cck. results are supposedly to be out today, but somehow postphoned to tmr. and so, i'll be receiving my results via sms tmr morning, i guess. it'd better be okie; hopefully no failures. right now, i'm doing some research on schizophrenia as well as diagnostic codes that i need to know. tmr's a day full of challenges; we need to organize structured activities like games every day, and i've to prepare my individual case study by friday so that it can be in time for presentation on mon. =( denver's sis and her family will be leaving for US this sat for a few years. somehow, i will miss seeing the two lil cuties, aven and adel. they are just simply adorable and sometimes very difficult to handle. i hope all will be well for her family over there.. yeah, dee and i have kind of made plans to travel to US in Jan 2011, once i'm over and done with my 6 mths probation in st luke's.. tt will be smth to lk forward to.. i srsly hope to meet up with friends during my holis. now is a lil packed and tired period for me, sorry about it guys. i still love you all~ and mao, i wanna go JB have seafood too! next time we go again k? =)
extra week for holis - and off to bintan!
Sunday, March 15, 2009 9:25 PM i'll be having an extra week for holidays this time round due to youth olympics. yeah, that means 3 full weeks of non-stop eating, sleeping, watching teevee and back to sleeping again. i've booked a short getaway trip with dee fr 17-19 apr to bintan, exciting! tmr marks the start of 2 weeks in IMH. i read the news that the guy who burned the MP is sent to IMH and i'm so worried that i'll bump into this guy over there. as i think my ward is an acute male ward.. no fear no fear, God is with me and will protect me! anyhow, i hoped that this experience will be fun and enriching.. im waking at 515am tmr, real drag. shift starts 8am - 4pm and i pray that time will fly past fast. because we're doing practically nothing over there. im hoping to do some injections though. heh heh.. o, forgot to mention. the other day, i had my blood taken by one of the nurse for chicken pox virus check as one of the kid patient had chicken pox. and, all the sisters and nurses were freaking and panicking. we called it the 'chicken pox crisis' because chicken pox could mean death to those kids. i srsly freaked out a lil, i'm so scared of injections myself! :P

watchmen gala premier
Tuesday, March 3, 2009 4:25 PM  we were at the gala premiere of "Watchmen" at Shaw with dee's bunch of gd friends yesterday, courtesy of Jasmine who reserved the tickets for us. i was actually half looking forward to the show as i thought the trailer seem to be quite exciting. but it turns out to be very draggy and hey, we don't like it at all! it's quite a long show and i think u can consider watching only if u've the free time and cash. anyway, it seems that i appear to be on the "missing" mode to some of my friends. hey, i'm still alive and well la, don't worry. i'm back to NUH now, at paedetrics oncology ward. it's a ward for children with cancer..and it's really heartbreaking to see the kids suffer at such a young age. the side effects of chemo really is horrigible. were doing oral toilet (mouthwash) for a kid earlier, and she was screaming and crying because her mouth & lips were full of ulcers. almost teared a few times. and i really ain't having it better when i'm doing attachment. everyday, my clinical instructor gives us "homework" to research on and we're supposed to do an individual case study as well as a group presentation to the ward sister next friday. everyday is like fighting a battle to me. it's quite tiring... anyway, looking forward to the meetup on sat w rhys and mao and hopefully xuan!! =)
