2012/2013

It has been a while since I last blogged I suppose. But I still wanna mention some of the awesome events that happened during the last 2 weeks :)

#1 Went back to Penang with the family during Christmas. We went around looking for the iconic murals and tasted all the good food! It was the first time in 19 years that I feel like a tourist in Penang. But the price? I've got a terrible tan all because the murals for being so darn far apart. But thanks to that, I realized that there is really a lot to see in Penang. Things that I've never noticed before.

#2 Met up with the 'table-mates' from the senior high days - Sze Chin, Soh Ling and Qiu Shuang :)) It has been a really long time since I last met any of them. Although we've always been in touch but it definitely feels great to finally see them in person :)

#3 Congratulations to the two nursing teams! The results were pretty shocking I have to admit but nonetheless we're all really proud of you guys :) Thank you for letting me train you guys and thank you for inviting me over for the celebration. All the best in your future trainings yea! :)

#4 Hao jiu bu jian! Le best St John mates during the Kwang Hua days. I find it awesome how we still have so much to crap after so long. We talked about the old school days, about how we're coping right now and whatever plans we have in stored for the future. Although it was just a simple lunch but I really had a great time with them :) Hope to meet up again soon! :D

#5 it started off as a simple gathering at Setia City Mall. But I guess we got bored and didnt know what to do at SCM and decided to go back to Taylor's to have a look. The feeling of being back there at SS15 was pretty cool. Haha! We went to visit Mrs. Hoe in her office. We talked a bit and the next thing we knew, we were being pulled into filming a video for Taylor's. Shocking. And I pretty much looked like crap in every shot -_- But then again, it surely was a good experience :) 

#6 3 really nice girls that I've only got to know towards the end of my year in Taylor's. We all changed a bit but thankfully we still have something to share with each other. I'm glad to be able to meet up with them this summer and hopefully we'll be able to meet up again before I go back! :)

#7 Hello Pig Nyee Huey! I've not talked to her for.. A year I suppose? She has definitely gotten thinner and cuter! xD It was a wonderful afternoon with them. We've never stopped crapping throughout the 3 hours in Witchery Ider :P Why lah you guys so cute?! Sitting at the same table laughing like mad women all the time! Haha! We must have one whole year's worth of meet-ups before I go back! :D

#8 Hello Pinks! (and also Swee Thian!). Thanks to Hui Gee who wanted to see the padi and Shao Qian who wanted to see the fishes, we practically walked the whole Bukit Cahaya in one day. My goodness! I salute our own determination. Not to mention it rained really heavily while we were walking to the orchards. Playing under the rain like little kids? And taking shade under the ruined pondok. Haha! Good times. Oh! And I managed to go up the Lookout Tower for the first time! The other day I couldn't master my courage to go up that high a structure. I just waited below for my friends, but these people, especially Shao Qian and Thuan Song made sure I reached the very top and took a picture. Cruel but awesome friends. Haha! By the end of the day, my feet were like jelly when I reached home. Tired like mad. But still, it was a good exercise trip with everyone. Thanks a bunch to Huey Khim for organising this outing! Tiring but definitely an enjoyable one! :D

#9 Hospital Attachment.

Decided to join St John's hospital attachment to learn some new stuff and life in the medical line. My first shift was a morning shift from 9am to 9pm, last Sunday. In the car, my friends were already scaring me about how tedious and sort-of disgusting cases that will happen on that day. Oh gawd, that instant regret and nauseous feeling that came to me was...urgh.. indescribable. There were not any cases on Sunday, mostly are just cases where the casualty is short of breath. But after a few rounds around dressing room, the yellow and red zones, I realized how weak the human body is. I saw people with stroke, people who recently had a kidney surgery, people who survived a severe car accident with 10+ stitches across the left lung. Not excessively gross but still, nobody wants to be in that position. Lying there, waiting for your turn to meet the doctor and you know lah, waiting may mean an hour or two if you are lucky, a day or two if you are not? Not to mention the coolness of the medics when they receive an emergency call. I would be full of frustration waiting for them if I'm the caller. Never knew that's how it works in the hospital. I thought they'd be fighting for time, or was it because they're immune with all these emergency cases..? I have no idea what should I expect when I'm going for my next shift. They said that there's more to learn at a night shift but then.. I cannot bear to see anyone suffer. When I see others suffer, my head will automatically start thinking that its happening to me instead of others. *shudders* Humans are really fragile beings. Please cherish life and live every moment to the fullest. Nobody knows what will happen in the next minute/hour/day.
