ICU LifeYoz...
Seems like as if I have disappeared.
Seriously, has been wanting to blog about my ICU life but I am simply just too tired to do it, have been working morning shift for 6 days every week. There were days that I actually slept at 6pm till the next day when I am suppose to get up to work. And I finally took my very first MC for the year. Aye ya, I thought I could break record of having zero MC for this year, too bad. Xian said that I am just weird because to her, I am working by a more "normal" hours but I seemed to be more tired than when I am on shift work.
May be my body is already used to working shift, you see, on and off I will have a couple of days that I can sleep in and wake up later to get to work. *Shrug*
Anyway, ICU...
Well, how should I put it?
I don't know to consider myself as lucky or unlucky, I went there for merely 2 weeks and all the seemingly impossible events took place. The staff told me that it is rare that they have clients on ventilator, and immediately the following day, I have 3 ventilators running and we were running about here and there monitoring them.
Next, code blue, last code blue was on 22/4/08, and one week after I join the department, there is one code that we need to run. In hospital, code blue simply means that someone has collapsed somewhere and as ICU nurse, we need to bring along the monitoring machine and some simple equipment for intubation as well as be at the scene to assist the anaesthetist in intubation and suction as necessary.
-Sigh-
Jiahui was telling me also that it is so weird that ICU rarely have so many patients and so many machines in use, well, what should I say? May be I am really so "jinx-y". LOL.
OutingMy ward girls asked me out last week, to celebrate 2 of the girls birthday as well as a way to say farewell to me.
My "jinxy" partner, I can never forget how rediculous things can go if the two of us are on duty together, everything will become possible under the roof!
Babe, from now on you have to find another person who allows you to rub your make up on their uniform ok? Hee...
Happy Birthday anyway. =)
Cassie, me, Huda, and of course my Shida.
Must find time to catch up in future ya? =)
We are watching this show~~~
Thanks for asking me out~
Ratna and I. New girl to my department. Sweet and nice girl to be with but too bad we didn't really spend much time to get to know each other.
We are at Popeye's Chicken...

The End to a New Beginning.The route to an end is a new beginning.
I realized that I didn't wanna talk about it because I don't wanna see that look on their faces, the look that will keep reminding me that the end is near. And I only realized this real reason why I don't want to talk about it when I saw Jen's face last night after she discovered that my name is no longer in the new roster.
This feelings add on when Kian was waving goodbye to me this morning when I get off work, and when Shuang Shuang was hugging me tightly and cried when we were walking towards the lift lobby.
I had such a hard time to hold myself back by keep on telling myself that I am a grown up now and I have to face this like an adult...
It is certainly painful, but I am trying to move on with pride, I am trying to face everything that is coming in my life with a smile.
I can.
I have to.
My chapter of Ward 72 ends here.
And the new chapter of the intensive care unit is beginning.
"I pray that I am strong enough, to walk this path I have chosen with a laugh."
