Meanie MeKinda mean at times.
Well...
The other day I was at Daiso, and this middle aged lady approached me and asked, "where are all the scissors put?"
I was not in one of my best mood days, gave her a glance and replied, "I don't know, I don't work here you know?" and I walked off while I saw her gave me a look as though I have done something very wrong to her.
Hello.
Even though Daiso is not that small, but they do categorize their products, if you are looking for scissors, just look at the stationary section, if you really cannot find you should approached those that are employed by Daiso, even if you ask me I won't know and will have to look for it as you do right? You are not that old that you can't find it on your own also. I would blame it all on your laziness to search.
The other night June and I left work at 2330hrs and we were running hoping to catch a train but the train we have board stopped at Ang Mo Kio.
And a lady approached us and asked, "excuse me, is that the last train?"
I told June that if I were not in uniform, I would probably asked her "Do I look like I own the MRT lines?" or "Do I look like I drive the trains?"
I don't know.
Some people just asked questions without thinking if they are asking the right person.
In simple terms, asked without using their brains.
It DOES NOT mean that people in uniform = know everything.
I may be in uniform, but it doesn't mean that I need to provide you with directions on where to go and look for what, such as which bus is going to which road. There are directories for you to check at bus stop, a control station that can tell you if that was the last train and shopkeeper telling you where the scissors are located!
And yesh...
I am not a very nice person to start with afterall.

BlessedThe past week had been one of my longest week at work.
Whenever I am working, my shift are nothing but busy, I am practically walking as though I have wheels fixed beneath my soles.
The packing has not stopped yet, and keep having people falling very ill, people collapsing, multiple procedures and things happening all at the same time still going on; I can have complex cases to very simple cases that all other shifts it was fine till my time; for example, I can have 3 patients on long lines and of which 2 were blocked that took me time to unblock them.
Not that I didn't try to plan, but all the planning that others would think is rational always comes with "surprises" which I don't like them at all.
I was kinda stressed out and felt a lil dejected when everything went wrong (Practically everything, you named it, I have it.).
And...
My ex-advanced diploma classmates who are now my colleagues saw, they gave me a lil' surprise the day before.
=)
Peifen said hope that this cat will bring me better luck.
I just burst into tears when she passed this to me.
It was the thoughts that count, seriously.
No one, is obligated to do this for me, but they did.
Mong left me a muffin on my work table on Tuesday, while I was busy with an ill patient that was later sent for higher care.
Shirley bought me a packet of chicken rice on Thursday knowing that I won't have time for break and keep reminding me to eat even though she has left for home.
Guan Yi bought me a packet of milo on Saturday when she know that I was so caught up in sending patients for scans and running around helping my new colleague to settle things.
Peifen passed me this on Saturday, telling me that patients chose to pass on in my shift because I made them very comfortable.
點滴在心頭...
Like I say, they could just jolly well walk off and pretend that there is nothing happened, anyway it does not really concern them, but...
My this group of "battle mates" are truely very supportive.
I am...
Very blessed indeed, to have them in my life...
As my friends.
As my colleagues.
=)

哭我...
很愛哭。
也很會哭。
Sometimes I can just cry for the weirdest reason that nobody can understand.
I remember how I burst into tears when Bharathi helped me to settle my work when both my hands are tied with some other patients.
I remember how I cried because Mong saved a piece of rice cake for me and walked out of the convenient store with a cup noodles after one of my real long and hard day.
I guess all of us just had a certain button that if anyone pushed on it, you will just cry.
有時候我覺得我也很奇怪。
One odd circumstances that I just can't cry when it's considered as a time when everyone should feel upset, that would be the time when a lot of people are crying at the same place. My tear duct will just automatically be blocked.
I realized that when...
My uncle passed away a couple of years ago.
I got the news when I was working. I broke down at the counter at work.
But when I reached the hospital, I saw a number of my family members crying there, and my tears just stopped flowing, though there are some bitterness remained in my heart.
The other day, another patient gone, the family turned hysterical and few of my colleagues were holding their tears...
I am the odd one there standing, appeared indifferent but the pain was deep inside, I felt it pinching, but my focus was all on giving support.
其實...
或許，眼淚之於我，是一種最快、最有效的de-stress方法，每一次哭完，我的思路反而更清晰。可能是情緒爆發完了後我有更多的空間思考吧？
不知道別人會不會也是這樣ㄟ？

Please call me champion叫我第一名！Please call me champion.
叫我第一名！
The number one JINCO in the ward.
Packed 2 admit 3, with TPN and numerous IVs to give with no IV nurse who can help me with all these. Siting cannula, explaining procedures, making arrangements...
And keep being stopped and bombarded questions which I don't know when was the thing even started since when I asked the last shift they have no idea too!
I have to solve them.
My colleague told me today, "it's funny to know people like you exist."
I asked her why and she said, "it's funny because I have NEVER seen anyone like you, who always have everything and anything that happened at the same time in ONE shift! (Indeed a jinx, agreed and proven.)"
*FML*
Call me CHAMPION, for being the biggest JINCO in the ward.
Luckily my next shift staff saw the ward when they came, spare me from hooking up a chemotherapy bag, though I did the lock for the patient so that she can go for shower.
I work until I don't know where is my left right up and down.
And...
Of course, not forgetting Mong who was so sweet, saw that I am really tied, bought me a cup noodle so that I can eat it when I was finishing up my work after I hand over.
Haiz.
To twist this to a positive thinking mode, I think...
Ok, I was supposed to have 2 TPNs to hook up; 1 was cancelled.
With 2 chemotherapy to put up, that was yesterday shift.
And let alone the rest of the IV medication.
And... Luckily the 2 packed case did not come together.
And both the admission are not having a very big issue, just that I do not have the time to talk to the patients at all.
Oh yeah, and the 3rd case I closed within a week, the 4th case I closed within 2 weeks; and within this month of return to work, I have lost count on how many. I JUST REALIZED THAT!
