Why did I suddenly remember these jokes because my brother told me that he just did something similar the other day when someone is trying to promote to him some credit cards. He told the person "I don't think I need because I have a lot of credit cards."
I was like telling him, if he wants to make the person to go away immediately, he should add on, "I don't think I need because I have already got a lot of cards, Christmas Cards, Chinese New Year Cards, Easter Cards, do you want one?"
I think the person will walk off immediately.
Lol.
Just being lame for a while.
=P

The Seventh MonthSo many people that I know are sick and on medical leave or even hospitalization leave, but all for different reasons.
Let me count...
7 including me!
7 again, is this some what a lucky number?
4 on hospitalization leave and 3 on medial leave.
Well, make it 8 if I count in the one on maternity leave.
That is a lot!
May be like Kian said, it's the seventh month, that is why everyone is behaving so oddly, including the clients.
I have this client who managed to scold the night staff throughout the night, and during the day time when I take over, she complain of throat dryness and keep asking me why.
How I wish that I slap that sentence in her face...
"If you shut up your throat will not be so dry."
Haiz.
I didn't of course.
But one of the registrar was quite surprised that why is such a client who have all the energy to yell and scream at the two staff all night long needed to be monitored in the intensive care units.
We wonder too.
That is seventh month for you I guess?
I just hope that this month can be over soon.

I am Creating a Record SoonNinth code blue.
In my 11th week of posting.
We have never have such good business for emergeny before.
*Touchwood*.
And because of that code blue I heard the Anaesthetists talking about something which I think it is quite interesting.
Apparently the latest code blue was a "fake seizure" as they think so, "fake" because when the whole team rushed there the client was perfectly ok, vitals are stable and stuff.
So they were talking about there was some saying about how to differentiate a real and a fake seizures.
According the them, when a person is throwing a fit, just lift up the arm and drop it at the person's forehead, if the person keep hitting the forehead uncontrolled then it is real, if the arm did not hit the forehead or the person shun away then it would probably be a fake episode.
Still, no one can verify how true this is.
*Shrug*

Code Blue Again...
N.......O.......T........ M.......E.......
Code blue again.
One of the really action codes where by this is the first time being asked to really prepare for intubation, thank goodness that Ma is around and she was the main one assisting the anaesthetist. I realized that in an emergency situation like this one is really acting by instinct, can't think too much because it is really overwhelming, everyone, literally everyone is shouting for things, drugs, equipment, patient's vitals, bla bla bla...
Dr Lim was like blaming herself for eating Hamburger (Pau) earlier on that day while Dr Sean cannot stand my "jinx-i-ness"...
Everyone tells me that it is just "coincidence" when I was mocking at how bad the luck I bring about at work.
7 code blues at least that I alone have attended and that was only the 10th weeks I was transferred to ICU. There are 1 or 2 more that I was not on duty.
And before I was transferred in June, the last code blue was in April.
Can see the difference?

I am Angry, I Really Am.Almost late for work this afternoon...
Ok, I was late by 2 minutes.
-Sigh-
I saw my bus left when I was walking to the bus stop, so I thought fine, I shall walk to the next stop across the road and wait for a bus to go to the MRT station, who knows when I reached the next stop there is totally no bus at all!
Again I thought to myself since the train station is not really so far by the time I get a bus I might run into the red light also, so might as well I just walk to the station.
Almost wanted to vomit blood when I was at the train station. You see, the place that I stayed, there are actually 3 tracks for the train which usually only 2 will be in use. This afternoon think they wanna start a train from that station and they ask the passengers to board the train at the third track. I was expecting it to start off soon but who knows...
IT ONLY STARTED AFTER 2 TRAINS FROM THE USUAL PLATFORM THAT I WOULD BE TRAVELLING ON LEFT!That was like almost 10 minutes wait and I was like...
TWO TRAINS! I COULD HAVE SAVED THAT TWO MINUTES!
So tempted to go out and reason out with the MRT staff by directing us into the train so early and lead to misjudgement.
When I finally reached the station that is near to my work place, I waited another 15minutes before I finally see a couple of buses coming, and at that bus stop itself I actually have at least 5 buses that I can take to my company, NOT ONE BUT FIVE! And only after 15 minutes then 2 buses arrived while I saw 3 buses of the same number plate from another bus stop left!
THIS IS THE EFFICIENCY! THIS IS WHAT WE ARE PAYING SO MUCH FOR?!
IT IS SINGAPORE THAT I AM IN, NOT SOME EURO COUNTRIES WHEREBY ALMOST EVERYONE DRIVES!
SINGAPORE!
A supposed to be modern, competitive place!
I really wonder does the upper management level take those transport?
I bet they don't.
Seriously, if spending the profit they earned to fix one more TV why not spend the money to improve the system and make everyone happier?
I am very pissed off what happened, and this is not the only time. Can you imagine waiting for 10 minutes for a train to come?
And they named it "Mass Rapid Transit"; Mass, yes, big cabin, transit, yes, but RAPID?
Are you sure?

JinxJust did my first "round" of night in ICU.
Say "round" actually it is just one night, but it was a bad one to start with.
Why?
I started work at 9pm, and when I walked in I saw Cristina on phone so I went on to do the monitoring for one of the two clients we have but only to find that her blood pressure crashed. Not only that I saw the nails turns blue and within 20 minutes the client is gone.
Poh Chin and Cristina both look at me.
(-_-)...........................
IT'S NOT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY ME????
Haiz.
Ok la. Me la my fault la....
Like they always say, I am such a jinx....
Anyway...
Met up with my Aunt and Couz Jolene with her sons after work for lunch, Yiu Yiu really grown much taller and more talkative now, still find his smile attractive though. And Cheuk is now more matured than before, both are handsome boys. Hee. Too bad forgot to pack camera before I get to work last night, but seriously after such a horrible night I am actually quite stoned.
Just hope that this only happenas at the beginning and my future nights would be better.
Yawnz.
Sleepy le...

Weird QuestioonsHave been running into people who post weird questions.
There was a day I was walking back to ICU from Kopitiam with a lunchbox in my hand, I ran into this colleague who asked, "Having lunch?"
I looked at the food in my hand, loss of words, and I said, "Errrr... en."
I was walking into my company and ran into this vendor who came to ICU for some machine demostration a couple of days ago.
She asked, "Coming to work huh?"
I was a bit stunned by that question, almost wanted to tell her, "No, I am here to fix the toilet bowl."
"........."
Tonight Momo asked when she saw Yao Ming, the China basketball team player, and she asked, "What is Yao Ming doing there?"
"Playing basketball lor, he can't be playing soccer right?"
May be they are trying to be friendly, may be they are trying to find topic, but.........
The questions they asked are simply WEIRD.
Wonder if anyone noticed that they have been asked such weird questions.

DangerWas expecting a busy day today as today is a "jackpot day" (08/08/08) because sometimes here is quite crazy over numbers (Just think of my horrible day on 20/07/2007), but turn out to be not as bad.
Anyway, tomorrow is Singapore's National Day which is why I was expecting bad day from last year experience (imagine we are sending clients back to where they came from because the whole hospital is full), I was off night and I went off at 9plus pm just to help Kian to finish the medicine round so as to relieve her work a little.
Speaking of National Day, I saw a lot of kids, erm... students to be exact, lining up at the side of the road in uniform and I really wonder what is it so important that they have to "risk" their life like that.
Yes I said risk their life because they are kids and you know how they are like when they are with friends, I really don't think it is a good idea to have them "lining up at the roadside" no matter what reason there is, when some of the kids actually stepped into the path where cars passed by. The bus I was on has to reduce the speed in order not to knock anyone of them down. I saw a primary school kid using his back facing the road and half his feet was off the curb of the road side, can you imagine if one of his naughty friends give him a gentle push and that is it for him!
-Sigh-
Good thing that I am not a parent yet.
National Day today and poor Xian is still moaning over the chicky pox. Tomorrow Si and I shall be 2 kind souls to deliver some entertainment to her.
Sleepy.
Waiting for the fire to lit for the Olympics, if and only if they could do away with the advertisement, it would hasten up the whole process man.

Dedication to "Cheer" Xian Up =pOh dear.
My poor Xian came down with chicken pox, and she cannot enjoy all these...
Look at how Si enjoyed the food.... LOL.
Such good friends we are that we actually took pictures to share how we feel when we are enjoying our feast when she was quarantine at home. LoL.

Happy Nurses' Day
Happy nurses' day to all the nurses! Hee. The balloons came from the 'clowns' going from ward to ward as arranged by my company. The bigger apple on top is from the smile campaign, a paper clip holder, looks matching so I've put them together and snapped.
Silly? Ok la:-) Don't really like the clowns though, not only they came at the "wrong" time, as in of all times they came just after a patient was transferred in and we are all busy settling things for that patient, the clowns itself looks scary. Just think, how many times you have horror movies with clowns as the psycho-serial killer in the thriller movies?
*Shivers*
Like very unappreciative of the company's effort hor, don't mean it that way, just that I am kinda "duh" when I see clowns, reminds me of what my aunt told me when she was in London.
Eeee...
Still...
I helped 6 of my colleagues to drop in lucky draw coupon and in the end 2 of them won something, and as usual, I didn't win anything -Sui ma-. Though did run up and down to get food for my colleagues and went to take a peep at the lucky draw, keep bumping into Kim though. Hee.
Every year nurses' day the company would cater food for us at the lobby to take, this year's food is not as yummy as compare to last year, the only "food" that is good is the ice cream that they are giving, but it is SILLY that when we ask to get like 2 at one go, they refused to give.
Well, I bumped into Dr Victoria and Dr Lim at the buffet, and we were like talking about the ice cream that they are giving because Dr Lim was like telling Dr Vic that she will help her to get the ice cream so that she can finish eating. I told Dr Lim don't bother to ask for 2 because they will refuse to give so long as you have a ice cream cup in hand, literally in hand. I was like telling her that I asked for one more cup so that I can bring it up to my colleagues who are in ICU but was rejected by the "ice cream keepers". So what I did was that I walked to the seat just 3 steps away from the ice cream store, put down and turn and get from them again and they gave me. SILLY RIGHT?
Anyway Dr Lim went to try and she told me something even more silly.
Guess what?
There were these another 2 girls who made the same request as I do and was again declined. So what they do was that Girl 1 was standing taking the ice cream from the ice cream keeper, turn and put in the hands of Girl 2, and turn again to take another cup. Put it in a simple way is that... they were actually forming a human chain to pass ice cream.
Dr Lim was like => (O.O).....
Lol.
Haiz, wonder why must people be so rigid, what is the difference except for making a fool of herself?
Whatever.
Anyway.
HAPPY NURSES' DAY!
Hope everyone have had a nice time~~~
