did my interim appraisal (FINALLY) and took 1++ hr to speak to the 'new' head. she spoke abt my quality of work. i no longer argue... cuz i think it serves no purpose

...until....when she brought up the IDC in wrong hole issue...i was STIRRED!! i still think the PM girls had done wrong and it was only right of me to bring it up in my documentation. but 'head' said the whole picture reflect badly on the missy as a whole- regardless of who is right or wrong! i don't like the idea of 'just be'cuz we are the same-missy vs missy- we need to cover each other's ass' cuz what had happened was endangering pt's safety. we had a brief discussion on that- key words involved were: disagree, honey-coat, presumption, too fast to problem solve, SHOULD haves.

on the same issue, i did blog abt her management on the prob. i didn't like the way she said how it could had been avoided- insert another IDC into the other hole?! but after speaking to her and she telling me how SHE would do it... i accept her management if she was the RN but still not on her advice as a NC. key word involved- VE (V.examination) i agreed cuz its the only right thing to do basically on old ladies who had given birth, its certainly less invasive then poking them with cold, hard plastic tubes!

i am officially rejected by my NC for my application to adv dip! darn!!! i am old and do i have lots of time to spend waiting for my turn? 2 yrs experience?!?! what's wrong with 1.5 yrs? that 0.5yr must be an event packed one sia... thus without that 0.5yr i am less of a missy?!

so i am applying to study a deg which should start next yr. it should take abt 2 to 2.5yr depending on the pace i will be taking. which means... i will continue to work in this setting til i am more settled in the new schooling shit then i will SURELY ask for transfer out. after all i must look at the goal i am pressing forward to mah. no offence but i can't stand geron. personally i feel its more depressing than doing onco. =(

while some of my dearest frd are planning to either relax, rest a bit more or even leaving the force; i am planning for more intensive learning for future nursing ambition. NO!!! i am not targeting to be JIEJIE!!! most pple know right? my wish or hope is to work with the under privilege or developing countries. so it will be great if i am either a really power missy learnt in all areas or even better a nurse practitioner. then even without a dr by our side, we can still function well on our own. yes... i want to be an INDEPENDENT missy. =)

only problem with the above ambition... i can gain all the medical know-hows but will i have the 'real' power to do so in answering to my call 100%? hm... *mental note- must start reading the Word, pray and fast more*

just can't simply to agree with the practise of the day shift staff in some areas. =( had i became an outer-circle asshole unhappy with the things pple do? but... got to have standard mah!! without lao DA JIE, we must still maintain standard mah!!

how is the problem? why r most of our pt always resting in bed? nowadays bed-sponging is the most trending thing to do huh? plug site, drip set- not dated?! injection trolley messing = ok? kidney dishes stained with blood, no need to clean/ change then continue with the next pt? pre-d.c checklist up for fun one! - no obtaining of TCU/ feeds/ preparation of HIDS/ presciption the day before also never mind lar...then?! what's the point?! *faint*

my idea? forget abt harping over the fact that pple leave their bags in the MO rm or the rm's side cardboard and focus on the real reason behind nursing. i am all for documenting this and down and trendcare but 1st and foremost the actual nursing work has to be of a right standard. no? *shudder* ... haha... maybe one day... IF i ever be a NC i will be one screaming from room to room barking at my staff to do this and that AND making those that may cause or had already cause pt harm to WRITE MEMOs! hahaha.... hmm.... maybe at that time i will enjoy working in 7X?? cuz i heard that is how the JIEJIE - GEGE run their ward! hahaha... =P

this yr's birthday (already passed) had been rather err.. good? my 1 and only living grandparent decided to pass away on the eve of my birthday. good cuz she ought to rest in peace liao lar...bedsores and mental-strain on how the rest ought to live can be very very tormenting! of cuz there are pple that were really sad cuz they felt they had not done enough for granny. my take? its granny's life and her own battle to face, what could we had done more? stop her from dying? if we all want to lessen our suffering we should never be born but that will means that we would never had enjoy the joy of living! ... life is fair if we see it this way, i think...

oh... then i got presents too. sweet stuff. =) thanks for the donuts, well-wishes, cards, 'Tommy Girl', lotion/shampoo, accessories and all those intangibles. even I gave myself some gifts! =P of all of them, i love my 'Anna-Su' best.

talk abt drooling... i had FINISHED reading "Starter Wife" (book) in less than a week!!! all 400++ pages!! i am amazed at my achievement! hahaha... SAM KNIGHT is so dreamy!! while that LOU is 100% less attractive than the TV series!

but after reading the book, i realised that the TV series is pretty different from the actual book. hmm... i prefer the TV series cuz i think there should be more twist and better build up on the personality of the cast. plus there will be a season 2 so i bet u even if the ending is and will be the same as the book; the journey will be 100% more spiced up! yummy.... but too bad my working schedule means i can't watch the series! anyone willing to help me buy online? i promise to pay!

Starter wife

char bo vs bimbo

wats the difference btw char bo and bimbo? hmm... i think every char bo (woman) has that bimbotic genes in her. the only different is that some women allow it to run their life totally while some use it discreetly. =P

my idea of bimbos, are women that focus on those very surface-external stuff (eg. looks, makeups, dresses, fashions, latest these and that). bimbo tends to be over naive and appears dumb too. sometime their speeches and the stuff that they are overly concerned seems so trivial that they cross over to the point of childishness.

read a couple of teenage girls' blogs and was really amazed and amused! they were scolding and bitching about each other on their individual blogs. it's terrible to see how vicious kids can be with their words at their age. its amazing to see the real life action of those reports on the newspaper about how school girls bully their own kind by means of calling names, forming alliances staging out before my eyes. it was reported that these actions can be so bad that the victim can be scarred for life, drop-out of school, join gangs, do drugs, etc. it's amusing cuz when i read on, i realised that these are act of childish minds! person A is unhappy about an issue, call person B names and then go on to insult person B's personality, actions and figure. person B gets angry cuz person A had agitated her and in return served person A the same treatment of insults while trying to justify certain actions. if these people are so unhappy about each other, why are they even reading each other's blog?! *puzzled*

perhaps i am not in the actual situation thus i can calmly say they should live their own life and stop these nonsenses. but i too had my childish days of doing such damn stuff-the inner circle vs the outer circle 'fight'. actually such these still exist in every company, school and... in fact everywhere!!

although most friends know that i loathe bimbotic talks and stuff, such talks are unavoidable to some extend and i do enjoy an occasional praise on my hair/ figure/ perfume smell/ shoes/ etc (even if it is a lie =P) every now and then. =P hahaha... after all everyone has a bit of that bimbotic or if not himbotic in them! =P

long break-watching drama

this long break had me drooling over some pretty faces. can't spell their names cuz my hanyu pinying is damn poor. but they are the casts from the TVB drama series call "the drive of life".

1st watched some episodes on Utube and then the uploader stopped. so i went elsewhere to search for it. but the uploading was slow too. really can't blame them. who on earth really have nothing better to do than to copy and upload? waste time, energy and money and even run the risk of being sued!

i loved the show so much that i went to the tvb rental shop to rent it! its a total of 60 episode and i finished it! =) if korean drama is famous for its lovey dovey-i got cancer plot. then hongkong drama ought to be famous for its cunning, witty 1/2 unexpected twisted plots! i love watching these cantonese drama in its orginal voice! although its 60 long episodes, each episode had a life of its own! its not even draggy! the next best drama next to "the kinship (zhen jin)" =) watch it and get hook!!

sleeping head

haha... met with my beloved laikuan and fanyan today. so happy! but so tired! my stupid body thinks its still on night shift! argh!!!!

meeting with the ladies nearly got blown off cuz fanyan was still busy with a presentation at 12.30pm! i was so looking forward to meet them cuz i didn't get to see laikuan on her wedding day and it had been a long time since i met her and chit chat. fanyan.... needless to say she is my dear lao da! hahaha... she falls into my very small group of very idol. i love being able to say anything and everything with her. she is so very wise and straightforward too. =) i like....

sad... cuz the lunch break was so short. couldn't do dinner cuz i thought fanyan would be busy with her children exams-which is now over. =( anyway we made date to visit laikuan's new flat soon.... someday.... (wonder when?! hahahhaha)

back to my "i think i am still do night shift" body. =( i had went without sleep for 2 days! i get sleepy during daytime but i refuse to sleep hoping i would be tired out and be able to sleep at night. i thought i won it til i woke up @ 3am! tried sleeping again but ended with headache instead. aiyo.... finally when i feel like sleeping?? its 12pm-noon. so went for lunch. after that took mrt back and slept.... til... reach BUGIS!! lucky i wake up if not i will be sleeping til expo sia!

=)

had been watching this drama call 'soulmate' yes yes.. its KOrean, AGAIN!

the guys and girls are really lovable. its a comedy so there isn't any mr/miss evil. i love it so so much but its rating in korea itself wasn't very good thus the planned season 2 just isn't going to happen. so sad....

the show was rather slow paced but it gave ample time for each character to develop itself. the drama pick up towards the end. my tummy literally cramped from all those suppressed laughter! (i watched the drama late at night so if i laugh out loud, the police will be knocking at my door!!!)

i love all the characters cuz each had their unique personality.
i like jun-ho (female lead's younger brother) every time he appears i will start laughing even if he didn't say anything! lol... thinking of him makes me laugh!
i like mi-jin that supervisor! hahaha... she is another one!
hmm... and the friendship btw ju-hee and min-ae! haha... love the part where they challenge each other to seduce man! lol....

see for urself!
ju-hee n min-ae
ju-ho

days ahead

soon it will be my leave. yipeee... had planned to spend it doing some meaning work for God but God shut that door in my face. so sad... but instead of being sad... i had came up with plans to fill in the gaps. its a good break from work anyway. glad in some ways.

=) hopefully by the end of the 2 weeks break. i will look great and feel light! heehee... ps- everything had been planned and schedule out. hopefully everything will be smooothh.... *muack*
