• Last day of the year•
31 December 2010

Tonight is the count down.
Towards a new year.
I'm dead excited about it.

It's been long since I go photoshooting.
Hiding in the crowd shooting at the fireworks,
isn't the perfect plan for tonight.
But I really hasn't snap since my birthday.
And my hands are getting itchier doing snapshots.
Even my ears yearn to hear the 'cek-cek'.
Who's with me tonight?
I'm hoping for a BBQ session,
and at the same time able to see fire works from somewhere.
hmm...

Anyways,
bring forward the happiness and great memories of 2010!
Forget and remain the sadden and horrifying incidents.
Here comes 2011!
A new year is beginning!!!
Happy New Year Every Beings!!!
Let's take the leap!
:)

and a DIY dry box to keep those cameras.

I've gotten the best birthday gift this year.

with my friends, family, colleagues and bf.
many birthday wishes come true this year.
my many many face mask from alan and weixiang.
my unexpected 5million crumpler camera bag from yanting and mr C.
my surprise party from boy.
and the missing-for-5-years hoodwink imported by boy.
my nikon thermo cup lens from sis and mum.
my agnes B earring from the princesses.

I had a wonderful 3rd anniversary spent with boy,
at Batam this year.
a success tour for the both of us.

But I was hospitalised twice this year.
Which doesn't make things sounds good.
I'll just hoping that my health will be better the coming New year.
and I'm seriously gonna work on that...


• study hard•
30 December 2010

I'm going for my first trial test for my BTT later.
I really wonder how I would fair for the first time.
Because everytime boy test me,
I'll forget this and that.

Especially which line is legal to park from 7pm to 7am.
At first my answer to him was,
"Single white line!!".
And yesterday my answer became,
"Double yellow line!!!".
But now I know what is the right answer already.
Oh shit....
It's been long since I memorise stuff like that.
I really need to study hard.
Failing BTT is the most 'lose-face' thing in the world.
So i'm gonna pass it once and for all.

Jiayous!
Towards my second step to achieving my license.

• discharged•
28 December 2010

Over the weekend that was spent in hospital,
all I was waiting for was to do scopes.
And the fact that I've to wait till Monday,
because endoscopy centre opens from Mon-Fri.
So finally waited Monday to come.

And I was nil by mouth since 12mn on Sunday.
Dr Stanley come with the smile,
and says the OGD will be done early morning.
And at 840am,
I was asked to put on the gown and lie on those trolley,
ready to be wheeled to endo centre.
First time being in the shoes of those patients that I've nursed.
I seriously had butterflies in my stomach when I think of the procedure.

So I was push to the some sort operating table,
check my blood pressure, 102/62.
And soon Dr Kelvin came in.
took another BP and it went down to 92/58.
and the next moment,
analgesia was induced,
and from what I remember,
something went down my throat and I gag very hard over it.
till then I was knocked out already.

When I was awake,
I can hardly swallow those saliva in my mouth.
Throat was still as numb.
And as if there were some thingy stuck in my throat..
I was then wheeled back to the ward.

2 hours after OGD,
Dr Stanley came again.
With that same smile on the face.
So he told me that nothing was suspected from the scope itself,
but Dr Kelvin took a lil specimen from my gastric,
to send for biopsy.
And the result will be revealed to me during my appointment.
which is 5 weeks from now.

I was told that I can be discharged at 5pm.
And everything was done by then.

Seriously the time when I step out of the ward,
I know I have not recover.
And I was told to eat those medication,
which can be slow on their effects.
And even right now,
the pain persist,
just like how bad it was when I went to A&E on 24th.
the doctors couldn't exactly know what happen to me.
And my diagnosis this hospitalisation was:
'likely functional dyspepsia'.

So I need to be on 5 weeks of medication.
Really gonna eat them religiously.
And no more spicy and milky stuff for me.
I shall wait patiently till 31 Jan, my TCU.
Hoping it will not turn out to be stomach CANCER or stuff like that.

PS: that's why I always prefer going to Private hospital. SGH chased me out even though I have not fully recover. I'm disappointed.



these were the lovely gifts from my besties.


from Weixiang and Alan.


my birthday gift from Yanting and Mr C.
came in so handy.
this is the 5million series.
that means it's gonna be spacious for my boyfriend (DSLR).

lovely daisies with chicken essense from Subha.
my darling.

not forgetting the ginseng soup from Cindy's mum,
when she brought down for me during her night.
Thanks to everyone who came to visit,
including my gran as well.
she was worried about me and I felt so bad getting her worried.
thanks to boy,
who came down every single day to keep me accompanied.
And to ease my anxiousness the night before I went for OGD.
thanks to all those text messages and on facebook.
thanks for all the concerns and love.

I will really take care of my health this time round.
promising with no more skipping of meals.
and eating meds religiously.
I need to fully recover from all this pain.
I need to.
I really need...

And my hospital leave will be till 2nd Jan 2011.
Ward 68, see you next year...
at the meantime,
a short break off from my tedious career...


• healthier•
26 December 2010

I was hoping for the entire year to keep healthy.
And everytime when my body gets slightly better,
the next moment, I'll fall sick again.

Being hospitalised for the second time for a year,
isn't something gracious.
But I'm worried about the condition of my gastric is falling on me.
seems like things are getting worse.

It all started on 23rd Dec.
When this bloatedness with pricking sharp pain was felt during work.
That day, i was lucky to have the interns to help me in both the in charge and junior work.
And the next day, i visited GP.
He told me that he suspected I had appendicitis after a few examination.
I was terrified and so inform my manager.
I was called off to SGH A&E for further examination.
And mummy followed me, soon after that.

Seen by Internal Medcine, by Gynae, by General Surg,
to rule out all cause of my abdominal pain.
But it seemed like my right iliac is painful always,
which they can't rule out me having appendicitis.

So I was pushed to the observation ward for an entire 8hours of observation.
And afterall, the pain persist.
I was then admitted under gastro.
By then it was Christmas,
25.12.2010, 6am.
I've spent my christmas lying in bed,
healing illness.

Today, is day 2 of hospitalisation.
Dr Kelvin Thia says I need to NBM 12mn,
for OGD tml.
Hoping to rule out things like ulcer, or gastric juice reflux.
At the mean time,
medicaion is my good friend now.
popping pills every 6-8 hours,
making sure my gastric are protected.
Another thing to pray is,
afrebrile!
I can't afford to have any fever right now.
Just hope everything is fine...

Being a patient in ward 46,
the ward i used to stay for a good 3 months during my PRCP,
I was once a nurse (student) here,
and I've never expect I'm a patient lying in one of the beds now.
(SNM Salimah, please don't see me tomorrow...)
I hope she don't recognise me, by all means...

Last of all,
thanks to everyone who came to visit.
Thanks for the concern and sorry to make you guys worry.
Thanks for spending few mins of your time chatting with me,
making sure i'm doing alright.
And making my christmas, a not so lonely christmas.

Merry X'Mas everyone...


• hoodwink is back•
23 December 2010

most of you should know that I am a monkey soft toy collector.
and mainly collect monkey from TY.

5 years ago,
I owned him.
His name is hoodwink.
after some incident,
my lovely went disappear from my side,

He was manufactured from year 2006.


I have search many stores in Spore,

and hoodwink's status was 'retired' since then.

• My goal, my dream•
16 December 2010

"When I was 13, my dream was to be a nurse.
Now I'm 22. And I'm already nurse.
And my dream is to be a photographer."

                                                                                   -Anna Mercier



I am someone with strong determination.
From what I wished for,
I'll make all ways, do all things,
to achieve what I want.
Some people call it:
打不死的蟑螂!
(translation: a cockroach that is hard to be destroy!)
I believe photography has not just becomes a hobby,
but it has included into my daily life.
that's how strong it has become.
I'll make my way there.
And currently seeking for more opportunity.
I know there's a lot to learn.
And I'm religiously going into it.
:)


• monday is bright•
13 December 2010

Ohwells, I can't believe I'm off on Monday again. Was being scheduled as the morning shift (the-worst-working-day-of-the-week) and I guess it was being switched. So as promised, I'll be staying home today. Mainly due to a special request to mummy to cook my favourite soup. Sze Chuan veg soup. Believe me, I can finish her whole pot and felt bloated for the rest of the day. :)

As promised, I have to stay home reading up my Basic Theory. Because exam is coming in less than a month's time. And boy gave me a mock exam last night, and I know I'm so not going to pass if I don't start studying.







Yesterday during my breaktime at work, was messaging boy about my birthday plans, and I suddenly thought about someone. Someone whom is still around and I've not seen for ages. Somehow I wonder what he's doing. Wonder if he still remembers me. Wonder if he's doing good. Wonder if he will looks older. Wonder if he remembers that 22years ago, he was part of producing me.

Dad, it's been so long I've seen you. I guess you were still the same. When it comes to my birthday, I'll thought of mum, I'll thought of you. We have decided to let you go, leave the home, 3-4years back. But do you still remember my birthday? Do you still remember 21 DEC? All I have, were memories when I was young. You bringing the whole family out for swimming, for MacDonalds at woodlands, you teaching me at the computer corner, and I miss those days.

Maybe it's really a good choice for you to leave. But I really hope you won't forget your kids at home. Afterall, you are still our dad!
