its been a long time since my last set of night shift and a longer time since my perm. night. things had indeed changed much! can't mention much since this is a public viewing entry. only can say, things aren't what it used to be. a little disheartened by the quality of work. =(
patients and relatives nowadays are also 1 unique kind! *sigh*

milk...
find me weeping over a silly drama is such simply and common thing but see me weeping while watching a documentary? hmm... possible but not so common. that was what i did. i was sniffing and the next thing weeping.
it is pure heartaching to see little helpless babies wailing in the hospital of china. their wounds are still fresh from operation. the medical staff had to advise the parents/ grandparents to try to keep the child from crying too hard cuz it will delay healing or cause the stitches to be 'ripped' opened by the intensed muscle contraction. but how to stop it? baby sad, baby cry. baby sick, baby cry. baby bored, baby cry. how to stop them from crying.
and because its sept, the harvesting season in the farming area; lot of farmer parents sacarificed their daily earning to travel miles and miles to seek medical attention but the hospital is too pack and busy to attend to all these tired and poor farmers. the only advise to them was to wait, stay a day or two til its their baby's turn. but how?? there isn't anymore space in the hospital to house them! rent a motel room? its so pricey in the town and they are already losing money with each hour spent away from their farm! it was reported that many parents will travel back to the rural area on that same day forsaking the treatment. a lady was interviewed, she didn't cry but her eyes were red. her son was bloated and had not been able to pass urine for days and had not been able to eat much too. her hubby is in harbin working while she tend to the farm with her in-laws. she had no extra cash to spend on lodging but her son's health is at stake. at this point, i could bear watching no more and change the channel.
having a baby is tough enough for some couples and when they do have 1 they treasure it with the best they can offer within their means. milk formula for years had been embraced as the 'better' and more quality assured milk, at least it was how it was marketed in the 70s. working mom's saviour and the baby's best food. bought in by the marketing tactis tons of parents chose milk formula over their own breastmilk. years after years, generation beyong such idea is still deeply entrenched in the mind of plenty. but such betrayal! it's unforgiveable!!
those chinese are really too much! is money more important than life? its innocent lives!! not one or two but billions of babies! if it was about world domination then why poision our own countryman's offspring?! such crime is more terrible than those japanese during WWII - knifing little babies! at least it was 1 at a time, this... its million of lives with just 1 simply batch of factory made milk formula!
now even the adults are affected, all dairy products, biscuites and other stuff. win lor... is that what they want? to win and to kill?? i am a chinese although not from china, i know how chinese view money, wealth and power- we are greedy lot we want more and nothing is enough. just enough is never enough thus chinese are striver. we strive to be better and to earn more but...but... far beyond moeny and wealth...aren't we all brought up with the influence of Confucius teaching of loving and respecting nature and the human race?! oh... perhaps the communist had successfully brain wash away religious and ancient teaching during its heydays?!?! this is what you get from rising up a nation without moral teaching and religious believe! what will mr mao say in times like this, i wonder....

today maggots ajumma left, her son seems really happy with the service in the ward. surprise surprise... no flies! yippeee... maggots ++ today while the girls were cleaning her wound. salute!
kimchi stew turn out good. =) i am quite glad about it. happier for killing the stock of the (in my view) sub-standard kimchi than cooking the stew. =P i think my 'addiction' for all things korean is dying... my new favourite? i think its coffee... hyper-sweeten sort.

Bee the one always buzzing and grilling lecturer and CI while JK always trying to make things easy, smooth and he was always the resourceful one. aiyo... miss my posting grp so much. =)

wats the difference?
spot the difference!
2 years into the service had i changed? i miss my friends and the wonderful of just being a student. same location, same person but can i say...same vision, hope and faith?!
so funny...
i was watching this video clip on youtube and as usual i read the comments. among the many that praise how pretty the actress is and how charming she is there was 1 bad comment and i did a copy and paste here. wonder if you can see it.
if you can't see it i am here to help...
1 person said "一個死八婆". (i have no idea why he/she hate the actress so much) then the reply to the comment was "you go die right now. " haha... i understand that the person that reply must love the actress alot but to use those harsh words?! i like thought it sound funny. for 1 stupid comment need to make the person die RITE NOW meh? i thought asking that person to die is bad enough?! haha...
updates
what am i busy with recently? i am busy spacing out! =P trying to read my research stuff i almost choke with the ton of information. i realise i am not a structural person, i bet those who love structure will love this subject +++.
i am planning to take another 1 module next semester cuz i have no other choice unless i don't study any at all. then when the 4th sem comes i will take the remaining 2 or 3 module and ta-ta-da... i am done! i can finally hang up my body on the cross and proclaim.. IT IS DONE! haha...
i bet when that comes, new challenges will arise to push me to the edge again. the only problem is... i don't know what sort of a challenge it may be. =P yes... this is the update of my ever-so-boring life.

shifting thru...
my title never quite match my content but i suppose its alright since not many read it. =P
there is a shifting in the world. you know? the plates under the ground is shifting, thus all the earthquack and stuff. there is a shifting in the political scene, scandals exposed and people raising against their own to get the right and justification due. power and wealth shifting. althought forbe came out to say that the rich had become richer over the years and they had been this rich for the past years but there is indeed changes in these wealth. great big companies are shaken to their core by the 'new and younger' generation. i learnt 1 great truth from my church, (apart from Jesus is my Lord and Saviour and other bibical stuff) that is... there will always be changes! so change we must!!
its really depress to know changes are everywhere and all around us. if the Thai guy step down or that Taiwan $$ problem expose ton of rich people in its scam or even if Ike storm down the entire Cuba and the other low lying islands, it may never really affect me personally. cuz i am not in those countries but does it mean i won't feel the repercussion?? hmm... the world is too small to assume NEVER is NEVER. so i let out a sigh and say... come what may and may i never be shaken from the steadfast anchor that had held me thus far...
when the end times come, will i survive the ultimate test? will i be rupture or left behind? if i am the many that had "miss" the call will i then live through the trial and tributation?! sigh... the joy is in keeping Him in focus and only then all will become blur and small... focus... i must.

lesser of the evil?!?!
what is more/ less environment friendly? using the paper or the computer? true, if we use paper we kill trees by pulping them into tons of mashed up fiber shit. but if we use computer, we require electricity and what produce it? OIL and fuel! with oil we create war, oxides of all sort and then ...we get our electricity. just because we don't see the immediate 'harm' are we indeed creating less harm to the nature??!!
in time of 'down' time, all data are 'lost' and everyone is struck with the reason "i can't access the information, its all in the computer and there isn't enough electricity to run the machine! i am left confused. what is the right way to go? scribing our information, data and other stuff on stones? =P
where is the human race racing to? with the ample knowledge, we seem to be decreasing in our ability to be more careful and caring to the nature that raise and host us. =(

help is great!
its the season of students! =) yipee ya ya yo! we are having at least 2 students per shift, per room and its great! with the extra help at hand we can get things done faster and better. i get to shower the dirtiest patient (in my view) today! and still managed to get everyone to go for break!! i am so elated!
although the 1st year girls are still blur like sotong and excited over getting their skill signed. they are generally good for attending call bells. skills and reaction can be cultivated over time but hopefully not over too long a time! but since they are students no point killing them byb expecting the sky from them (in fact some of our own staff can't provide the sky lor). but i have the tendency to want to train them ready to be a staff nurse. they are going to be one anyway, unless they decide to forgo that 3 years of hardwork? so i push them a little along the way. since i look naturally grumpy, i think they are rather fearful of me (in all the wrong way!!).
i pity the NP students.they education doesn't equip them with the stress ahead as a proper staff nurse. regardless of them wanting to be 1 or not they have to pass their final posting and be able to take cases but... they aren't ready!!! 3rd years girls are terrible! they are still like kidos!! not steady enough and simple things also can't handle. making things worst they 'mother hen' is pecking in all the wrong places!! instead of focusing on the skill (which students don't get much of the hands on in school) she is doing theory teaching and trying to make them critical think!! huh?!?! without the ability to assess the patient and do the necessary skill to save the patient, critical thinking is what chinese would say "talk about war on paper only". i got my fair share of pulling my hair the other day and today was cyn.'s turn. she really wanted to KILL the 'mother hen' sia. haha...
this is the FINAL posting for the 3rd yr girls before their PRCP so i have no idea why the lecturer is pushing them to take cases!?!?!?! they will have plently of time for that. they OUGHT to brush up on their basic care and skill in this FINAL posting before PRCP wat! if i am going to a kido for her PRCP and she is like this kind of pattern... i pity her!! i will surely whack her up and down, left and right sia! can't do basic care how are you going to lead your junior!??!?!?! *faint*
NYP rulez... the lecturers in NYP are going a great job training the kidos there. hopefully the standard remains. with the upcoming duke grad.sn i wonder which school will provide better students. hmm... i really wonder.
