Interesting!

I have watched the movie Captain America twice at Golden Village but it's a totally different experience.
30/3/14: watched with hubby at Great World & it's Gold Class. Of course, the price is also gold class. Food is separate payment. We ordered ice-lemon tea & nachos with sala and cheese dip for $17.60!! Rating: overall experience is 3.5/5...marks deducted because we are being welcomed by staff, they were busy attenting to others need, we have ordered the snacks, payment was also late. Both of us was allocated first row but it's still fine. We sat at "Osim" chair, blanket provided.

3/4/14: It's treat from Ting Ting! This time is at DG. It was still a nice movie. Watching it again but it's a different feel...most of us are from Curtin students.

It's my LIFE!

CTSICU exposure!

I have been in CTSICU for about 2months already! So fast! Common Qns from the crowds are: Do u like CTSICU? Do you want to stay here? Did you chose to come here? How long will you be here? Any difference from CCU? More things that in CCU to learn? Ah! U SSN(clinical) already? I thought you are a newly graduated SN attached to CTSICU...not one staff but a few asked me! Have you studied your advanced diploma? Sometimes, my silly but abit clever brain asked me if I should answer them truthfully or with reserve because I don't know them, not sure if they are good or bad?! Some questions .....I've forgotten already! Shall update when they ask me again! I like my preceptor because she is nice, not so fierce and very pleasant person...of course I do feel pressurised at times because there are so many things that I do not know. Now, I've get use to most of the routines but not all the RNs. Well, I give myself 2years to stay in CTSICU to learn most of their stuffs. I like to do dressing. I know more about chest tube, not so fearful about it. But there are also evil people la that wants to make my life unpleasant! Hate it! So stay away from me...evil forces.

Opportunity has come to knock on my door! One day...

Marilyn asked me via sms if I'm interested to join HF team for office hour anot!? I was abit tempted because I have plan to do office hour and maybe specialty. I have no special talents, not clever, not a management person. But so many Questions & uncertainty in my mind. My salary will be lesser...because no ward allowance, no meal allowance, no night shift allowance...$ is very important for me due to my current situations. Can I manage the work flow? Am I up to my boss's standards? Will CTSICU or management allow me to be transferred? My degree is still in progrwas and can they accommodate my schedule? Stressed again! On the good side...in HF, got Marilyn & Symsul to guide me about the work flow. I work office hours, one saturday per month, off on PH. See what's the outcome & I update again. Everything is not confirmed so...I will keep my mouth SHUT to prevent rumors from killing me softly. 

I believe ..."everything happens for a reason!" Hope for best outcome for me! 

Too STRESSED or too HOT?!

Last night, I woke up suddenly because I got nose bleed for no reason! Got a shock but I manage it calmly and it stopped eventually and I slept again. I woke up 1hr 30mins later to prepare to go to work. Now I'm also having auntie visit...losing alot blood le! What if one day I just died in my dream? I have so many things I have done or say yet! My husband had been too buat & stressed with work & he doesn't share much of his matters or worries with me.....Am I complaining? Yes, I'm, I feel I'm like nOt his best buddies, best friend, best wife...share with more, look at ur Hp less for an half an hour is good enough. Okay, treasurethe possible talk time with before it's too late!

Dad....Pallative care....

I wonder sometimes if my dad understands his condition anot? Everyone dies one day...it's hard for him because his son is not married, no wife, no kids...how to die in peace? I feel so evil n ruthless to tell him we can't live forever, it's not our choice to die on which day & how? His lungs functions left 30% or less and he is waiting for time. Sad but how? Sometimes, I feel useless, bad , evil but then how? I also want to live my life sometimes to enjoy myself! Take one step at a time la! Nobody can help me. Just hope I can cope ......just cry if needed! hahahaa...or just eat....or just run away....

2014- 1st AL slot!

2RD+5AL+2DO= 9days away from work!

Overall, I enjoyed myself & it's quite packed with activities!

9/2: Go "Xiao Hu Zi" Dr's hse for CNY celebration.

10-12/2: Phuket mini-honeymoon cum pre-Valentine's day celebration(in my heart!) We r so lucky, we got upgrAde for free to Villa :) with personal pool! I'm loving it to the MAX! Husband planned a whole day activities with a 9hrs employed personal driver! Of cos, my cute husband bought a show package with him for 5000baht! The lunch was yummy though a little bit spicy, husband ordered coconut(my fav drink in Phuket!). Well, dinner is average only but the ambience is so cooling. It's not that worth cos the food average, lobster was like under-cooked, so many young & adult sales persons asking us to BUY items when we are struggling to eat the food under super strong wind! Luckily, the not so romatic dinner ended with a spectacular fireworks; my husband's fav! I was scared! 

The main reasons husband booked Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa because of their wide-spread breakfast buffet & it's away from the busy city. Their breakfast buffet is yummy that the dinner that I had on my 1st night. I like the yummy toast, freshly squeeze fruit juice, pastries etc... Husband enjoyed our personal "swimming pool"...hahaaa... We went to the resort beach...so windy & nice views! We had a 30mins massage at the beach hut! Of course, husband Zzzzz during the process! LOL!!! We had another yummy coconut drink :)  At night, we went to Fantasea for buffet (the thought of it, I feel like N/V), some shopping & show (it's good at certain pArts but some pArts...I almost dozed off!) I was like a SICK monkey after the show & toilet was my BFF at night! Sweet husband give me medicine.

Of cos, 3rd day...I missed the yummiest B/F! Sad! Home Sweet Home!

13/2: R&R

14/2: Pray Pray! Go Practice with partner for 15/2's HA test. 
Of cos, Husband pick me up for Dinner! Yes...got Rose & Owl neckacles but abit heavy for my frail neck! Hahaaa.....

15/2: HA exam! Finally PASS & it's DONE! Totally relieved! 

16/2: Last day of AL.....R&R!

Hihi.....CTSICU.....sorry.... I'm coming back! 
Silly monkey... JIA YOU ah! Aim to be a efficient No.2 in 2weeks time then aim No.1!

Finally, CTSICU!

Yes! Finally I'm posted to CTSICU for real! June 2013, higher management suddenly want to start job rotation & e everyone is sadden by the news! Brave or crazy Monkey volunteered herself! I wonder if she has considered it for real or sacrifice herself so that her other colleagues no need to go? Probably, she just want a change of environment cause she is stagnate at her usual comfort zone for 9years? It was being postponed til the higher management confirms it in October! Initially, she & one more colleague "Z"  supposed to go 2/12/13 but due to technical problem...Monkey is delayed til 27/1/14!

Monkey is obviously scared cos she knows her standards, limited amount of brain cells, poor PR skills, timid "cat", worry alot etc! Having Snr, some more clinical name tag, ppl has so much higher expectations! People tends to compare Monkey & "Z" performance.

Monkey's roster is super good...work 3days them off 4days due to CNY. However, she didn't have much luck as predicted by her Zodiac. The following week, monkey worked for 5days then she is off 4days & 5days AL! Being thrown alone one day to do SSRR due to less manpower so, monkey have to do it cos it's her assignment & the best thing, they assigned another staff who doesn't know the JD! Ok, then don't blame me if I made alot of mistakes cos I never do it alone before! hahaaa...And they also me to be number 2 for a room! I feel very bad towards the SSN M because I didn't manage to help him. instead, create some mafan for him. He can't scold me cos he understands my situation. Poor thing. PM IC SSRR was a SEN/PEN... she wasn't happy with my performance. So she helped me tell sister, how can put me alone with someone is of same standard as me. So next day, SEN/PEN was tagged with me n I was supposed to it alone under supervision! I manage to get a pass. And the next next day, I was tag with another EN (better wavelength) & I feel more confident & better understand the Job scope of SSRR! Thanks!

Manage to learn abit of Number 2 job scope cos they soon will assign me to be one! Luckily, manage to be assigned to SSN P & SN A who help me to have a better understanding of the work flow of number 2! Number 2 must always stand on Left side of the patient!!! Don't like, we work as a team, WHY must set this kind of rule? I'm very lucky to get a Very Nice Preceptor who is most popular in CTSICU!

I realised that people always say bad mouth someone else behind their back,esp their NC! For eg. SNM also don't what happen in CTSICU, promoted(SSN-> NC) then forget to put themselves in the ground level's shoe, hugging FAME & AUTHORITY etc!!! Actually, we do it everyday! Hahaaa.... I willjust work then go home, avoid this evil teachings to influenced me. My ex-SNM say...learn all the good thing, don't learn the bad things. 

Everyday, the most common QUESTIONs that I get from my new colleagues is "Why U want to come to CTSICU? U chose or Management? How long is ur job rotation? 1year? or longer? I am not sure whether my answer is  politically correct anot: job rotation so I come! Just leave me alone! What do think of CTSICU? Very different from CCU hor? More fast pace? More line? More complicated? .....................Don't ask me compare now cos I just work 8days! 

After I have worked for 8days in CTSICU, I give myself a new nice name.....beep...beep...beep...road-block IBH!! Jia you!! Another 351days to one year! Who know? I like the place & decide to stay for good!

Don't know who is good or BAD colleagues! Don't know who I can trust or talk to? Don't who is a bad stabber or wearing fake mask? Shall observe & keep low profile n don't step on people's tail! How to cos I have limited brainy brain cells! LOL! Fighting!!!!!!

Time not enough

Time is never for me to use. I need to go school for classes, work, most importantly ...my beauty sleep which is never enough or never good enough. I don't say I feel recharged today. I don't have extra time for shopping, bring my dad for a walk or bring my mom to BKP to shop. I need more time! I've 3assignments to rush & practice my HA assessment!!!

They say they need d number before d shirt to check his measurements then I can order!!! Super pissed with that shop assistant Man unhelpful reply.Super stupid!! Don't let u earn my money. Buy other things!

I was super happy that I get 13/15 in my 2nd E-test! Total: 20/30! Aiming to get 20/35 for individual assignment & 25/35 for group assignment! Grand total: 65/100!
