the mrt of sg had been breaking down really regularly these days. boy, am i glad that i don't like to travel on MRT! not only i dislike the face to face sitting arrangement, the undergrd and ht that the MRT travels in and the crowded situation where everyone is so close to each other. my personal space intruded! so ask me what are my thoughts on the current hot topic on SMRT? nothing much... what meant to happened will happen. but instead of axing the CEO why had not the COO come out to talk? was it the job of the operating officer job to ensure the operation of the company goes smoothly? the technical director and perhaps the engineering team? well i suppose the answer will only be out after the panel of experts conclude their meeting then shall the public gets the answer.
meanwhile as a member of public i rather not find fault but rather can we focus on the solution!? if the solution is to shut down the entire system for 1 week then so be it, suck it in fellow humans! travel by bus/ taxi/ car/ bike/ walk anything- lets just get it going! nobody want to be trapped in another train, get to experience how it feel to walk 10m above ground (on tracks) or under the surface road nor do anyone fancy hitting in the head by some flying metal piece dislodge from the track/ train!

Nursing Home/ Day Rehab under ur void deck
likenly any childcare and infant care center under the void deck, the nursing home or day rehab proposed is for the convenience of the residences. i can't empathise with the residents that objected the building of such facilities in their estates or under their void decks. if the objection is just for the sake of objection, pardon me but i think such people need to be whack! if they see no problem with building of childcare and infant care why are they objecting to elderly care? i am saying this not because i am a health care worker but because i am a human with aging parents and also in the process of growing old myself.
aside from the fact that singapore is facing a growing number of elderly (who, mind u, had contributed lots to the building of the nation), singapore is also a nation of limited land! instead of building wider, we have but no choice to build taller. and to squeeze out enough for all? its near impossible, so why not use up the space under the blocks? those old chaps aren't going to be kicking their footballs and staining the walls and making a din nor will they smoke and drink under the block and thus leaving smelly waste/ rubbish. they will be cared by the health workers and the noise will possibly be lesser than the current?
since lots of singapore families are small in nature, who is left to care for the aged when the middle aged go out to work? the maid?!? well... i bet she can't really handle the young toddler + the housework + the old folks (worst still if anyone of the old folk is either ill with cancer or dementia) if singaporean had such uproar against the ex- minster of health suggesting outsourcing the ah gong or ah ma to some nursing homes in muar or johor baru why are they so angry abt housing this ah gong and ah ma nearer home??!?! far away from home also grumble, nearer home also grumble.
i had seen patients in my work area that had to be send to nursing home or community hospital post acute medical care setting because they family doesn't have the ability and the facility to care for the patients at home but do the family members really wish to walk down that path? NO!! those old folks had been a great help previously at home! i heard the family members telling me the fond memories of how ah ma had cared for her 3 grandchildren raising them from birth til primary sch (ah ma still call her youngest grandchild to chill him over the great fat zero he got from his spelling test while in hospital post op!!) and how another family's son in law regreting that he may never be able to taste ah ma's cooking now that she is to be institutionised. most of these families will request for us to seek placement for this old folks in a home/ Com hosp. nearest their home. but sadly, beds availiability for such locations (near housing estates) are not plently, if there is..cost may be an issue. i heard of patient's family members visiting the patient almost daily because they miss the old folk but if the location is far, the mind is willing perhaps the body is weak? having a nursing home or day rehab under ur void deck will not only allow the old folks a place to stay, it will enhance the family bonding among those in singapore.
honestly singapore resident PLs.... wake up ur idea!! too many foreigners- u complaint, low pay- u complaint, build nursing home- u complaint, high tax- u complaint, give u the chance to make things rite- u shrink away. so high and mighty?? need to be served hand and foot?? if this continue... singapore will be left to die literally!! then this land may be good only for building of cermeteries and such... oh... i forgot cermetery no need to build, just leave the land be...for filling up. no building = no noise/ dust... not a bad idea hor?

long haitus
4 nights after almost more than a year of break from a night routine. i think i still got it but gosh i am so burnt! on the 1st night it was just 2 of us to 14 pt and 1 admission (avg ~7pt to 1 staff). sound simple enough compared to my previous ward where it can be easily 26 pt with only 3 staff (avg ~8pt to 1 staff). but the later had me working with more experienced staff. this time round i am super swamped mainly because i am working with a brand new girl and she isn't much help. apart from doing her own stuff, she is rather slow thus even if she wants to help out she can't do much. plus this is her 1st setr of night as a staff! my dear sister had put her in charge rather than junior... only for me to find out that she don't really know what to do as a junior on night! argh... in the end i had to do both jr and ic. then on my last night with a full house (14 pts), i must have a bedside chest tube insertion! aiyo... it must be the season for chest tubes! but grumbling aside, i must praise the young girl for her teachable spirit and her ability to take my 'scolding'... hopefully in months and years to go she will be able to work fast and teach her jr. as for now... I AM SUPER TIRED! time for me to cuddle my baby... =)

the role of a mother
the role of a mother is not easy. its a uphill task with mini rest stations but with no such thing as a downhill ease. perhaps to some theirs come with a motor cable car attached making it all pretty sight and no ugly pain. but mine comes with a good package deal. while i thank God that my baby is not those typical colic cry-baby, i get a fair share of worries and fear.
that day that baby was born. i worry if she had enough to drink and was she getting enough love and attention to feel as secure as she was in the womb. then came the jaudice, as a train nurse i can dish out advise and tell parents to ride it through and eventually baby will be fine. but as a mother myself, i dread that baby had to take infant formula for supplement and to prevent her from dehydrating. i fear the worst, what if baby jaudice level is so high that she needs transfusion or get organ/s damage?! when she finally gotten discharge, i got my restless nights but thanks to the help of my mom i gotten a good deal of rest time in the day. but whenever baby sleeps in my arms (she refuse cot!) i would consistently check if she is still breathing or not. i am still doing it now! the reports of SIDs are too alarming and scaring to ignore!!
i am proud to say that i am breastfeeding baby and she is gaining well. yet everyday i worry why is she having that much poo. and when her poo frequency reduce but quantity increased. i wonder is she ok?! and whenever she fart i fear that my diet had caused too much gas in her tummy causing her discomfort. never had i stop my worrying. =( i wish to be as great a mummy to my baby as other mummies before me. those who had displayed great ability to raise their kids, contribute to work and still can find time to go on dates and lovely trips with their hubbies. gosh... i don't think i can manage! even with my mother in law's help i am struggling with the upkeeping of my relationship with my hubby, fear of returning back to work and making sure i am doing all the right (textbook's golden standard) stuff to my little darling.
i don't know what it means to enjoy the joy of motherhood. was it a statement of sarcasm or perhaps i am missing a point somewhere?!?! hmm... sigh...

down with the leaders?!
the world is going through a major shifting of power and resources. 10 yrs ago, the end times were known to be here and now, 10 yrs on the end times is at hand still. but more than ever the signs and its impending truth knocks on our front doors. believe it or not, it is here and will continue to til the the purpose is completed. i am in no position to comment if the leaders in the middle east ought to be overthrown, if the methods were right for the both sides to act upon the other or if the other nations nosy-poking into the situations did any help at all. but i do know all these seemingly are fulfilling the prophesy written in the Bible.
just as the world can't get any worst with the economy situation, natural distruction struck everywhere sparing no countries as it roams. the shaking of the ground, spewing fire from mountains tops and ashes covering the tracks of man. rivers are drying out, the heaven stop its raining. the earth and its core is awakening. but awakening to what and what will it result to? i have no idea. afterall i am end time prophet.
so what and where will we all be when He comes again? Riding on His white shiny horse, this time He won't be clothed in plain rags and humble human self but in His majestic glory and battle ready self. Will i be worthy to call onto His name or will i like that chap in the Bible that self declare my unworthiness and ask for a burning coal to cleanse my foul smelling evil mouth?!

raining
these days it hardly pours. when it rains, its just fine droplets of water drifting through the air. so fine that sometime i can hardly detect it til it had covered my clothes (hanging outside) with a thin flim of water. it comes as sliently as a thief at night and goes just as quietly too. what is left in evidence of its 'had been' are nothing but those slightly damp clothes and droplets on the bamboo poles.

bored.....
maid? infant care? parents' care? so many options so many possibilities. after months of lazing at home, dust is still piling, rubbish still littered inside drawers and cupboards and everywhere else. i am so tired being home, preg and just being me. haiz... miss work but bet i can't zip around much anyway. damn... am i in depression? nah... apart from the total lost of interest in all stuffs that used to consume me and a change in sleep pattern, i think i am in the relatively sane zone. the only good that might had came out good from these weeks of 'resting' is that hubby has been 'well fed' with home cooked b'fast and dinner (eating enough =/= enjoying it, i think. LOL) and the floor is being 'magic cleaned' almost everyday.
argh... there is still much to complete but i am so so so so... bored by it that i just can't bring myself to do it. but staring at facebook isn't any much more interesting too. argh... what a boring life....
