Bye 2013. Hello 2014

2013 hasn't been really an exciting year for me. I think my thoughts are on the money and bonuses. It was quite a half regret decision to quit the previous job and join the current one though the current job gives a lot of satisfaction that the previous job was unable to give. I do sincerely pray and hope that 2014 will be a better year. Really need to slim down, try to be in a relationship, save enough money to travel, stay healthy and may I bump into or see someone who were once significant to me in my life. As years passes by, the thoughts on my grandma and grandpa is slowly increasing. I was telling my colleague today that the air smells like Chinese New Year air. Do you all at times have such smell that links up to someone and it gives u that pinch of pain in the heart or chest whenever we thought about that person. I admit, I have such pain. 我只能说当我们年纪越大,我们的思考和思想真的一直在扩大。想法和所想的东西跟以前在teenager的时候真的好不一样了。 Take care peeps. Happy New 2014 Year. :)

4th Dislocation

Yeah, its my 4th time having to dislocate my right shoulder since 2006. I wonder how did I managed to find the courage to pop it back for the first 3 times and the 4th one I couldn't do it and decided to go NUH to have the emergency doctors to do it. It all happened because of a phonecall at ward. I was discussing some cases with the therapist, both of us heard the phone rang so many many times, I decided to just roll over on the chair that I am sitting on, and the next moment, I lost balance, used my right hand to support myself from falling further and "crack" I heard, and I know straight away its dislocated. The first few seconds it felt like that is muscle spasm, but when I tried to move it, I knew it. Anyways, the pain is really indescribable. I am so glad that my senior was there. She was damm calm and didn't make me feel anxious. The doctors responded fast by giving me Tramadol to ease the pain. Seriously, that tramadol helps me much which allows me to tran

Ups and Downs..

Its almost coming to 3 months of me not blogging. I remember I used to blog almost everyday in the past but ever since I started working in 2008, the entries from me reduced tremendously. Coming to 4 months of been a Medical Social Worker. Its not easy. I seriously appreciate the CC job a lot, the fun we used to have, the jokes, laughter, singings, etc... The current job requires me to face real life problems, problems that its not like 1 + 1 = 2. The job is so meaningful that I think I am stressing myself quite a far bit. I always wanted almost perfect care plan for patients, I mean, there are services out there which has lots of dam discrepancy, but I have that feeling of just applying all the services to the patient, to ensure that they have a smooth transition from hospital to home. You see, most of the patients that comes to the hospital I am working in are of rehab potentials and that's why I see a lot of stroke patient, knee replacement patient, hip fracture patient, amp

Medical Social Worker

Started new job in St Luke's Hospital on 1st July 2013. Love this job alot. It has been 3 weeks already and everyday seems to just pass so fast. There are times where I work till I did not follow the timing and when I look at my watch, its like "Huh? 5pm already??" that feeling. This job gave me alot of insights and learning points. I would say it is quite a systematic way of doing work. Its like if this scheme they cannot apply, then maybe can try the other. Everything has a flow to it. There are pros and cons to these. I never believe in straight roads. I believe we sometimes do need to turn abit and be flexible. The job has its flexibility (I mean when it comes to helping patient) but the flexibility is limited. Its like I am given an area of 100sqm to do whatever I want, but I am restricted to only 100sqm, I cant expand another 50sqm so as to try or trial out stuff. Things are pretty fix. Love my colleagues. I have yet to really joke with them like how I used to d

Its official!!

Tendered... Joining the new job on 1st July 2013. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and I will be able to achieve what I want. You see, I have a 10 year plan of what I would want to acheive. I have acheived one and that is to become a Medical Social Worker. I am glad I got this job and hopefully it leads me to the place of where I would wanna be. As of now, I would want to gain more experience in this line, build up my portfolio and then..... Lets see if it happens within 10 years of my plan. So eggcitied!!

The trip to Australia!

My first ever solo trip to overseas was really an awesome one!! A total of 9 days in Perth was really worth it. Day 1 (12 April 2013) Went to Changi Airport T3 alone. The feeling was great. Been able to rely on yourself to do everything was really an unforgettable experience. On the previous day, I did an online check-in and thus I am allowed to check-in an hour later than the previous time. Reached T3 at around 7.45am. Went straight to SIA online check-in counter and was shocked to see my backpack's weight was only 9kg! Went in to the duty-free right after gotten the boarding pass. That was the part where I started to get really high. Ordered BK's breakfast and seriously, IT PERKS MY HIGH MODE TO THE MAX after having that. While getting ready to take off, the stubborn me still did not switch my handphone mode to flight mode and thus I took pictures of my seat (3 seats all occupied all by myself) and the thrill of me in SQ plane. I also messaged my dearest lecturer to remind

12 April to 21 April 2013

AUSSIE (PERTH), HERE I COME!

Surprised!! and of course shocked.

Was really surprised when I saw the Performance Bonus and Salary Increment letter. The initial calculation that I did to myself was only $1000++. After seeing the letter, I got a shocked that I got $2000++ (with pro-rated calculation somemore). I am seriously happy. Those who know me will know that I dont compare such figures like who get higher etc.. I believe this are extras and I am glad that I got that much. As my director was on MC today and tomorrow, my GCD went down to office, collected the letter and came back all the way from Kallang to just pass us the letter. When I saw him holding to a bag that seems heavy, I just smiled non stop to him.. HAHAHAHAH. It was really SMILING non stop.. Then it comes to the part where I giggled and laughed and smiled and giggled again.. The amount is not much, but its like... Its like the feeling of collecting a big red packet.. Anyways, I got a grading of C+. I am happy with such grading because based on my schoold results ah, I am always a C

First Ever Credit Card

Yeah!! At the age of 27, at last, I have a very own credit card. When I saw the credit limit that was given to me, I was really literally high and happy for a moment, but after a short while, I realise that those aren't my money. I told my mum that I have a credit card, so as to give her the respect and allow her to control how I spend, which I seriously do not think I will shop or buy anything unnecessarily. I am a person who don't shop but if it comes to gadget, die lor.. Had a super dull and boring CNY. Gotten only 3 red packets for these entire CNY period. Its getting lesser and lesser because my grandparents are long gone. Chinese New Year is no longer a festive for me to enjoy. I mean, as every year goes by, between the months, I do hear news from my mum or dad on so and so has passed away.. During one of my uncle house visit (the only freaking one visit I have done throughout the entire CNY), I have seen how he aged so much. I was jokingly asking for his age, when he

The Best Maid Award for the month of January 2013

Yeah, I should be given the title "Best Maid" Award for my house. My mum is on holiday now from 3rd to 31st of Jan. This mean that I will have to do the chores that my mum always do.. Seriously, I do get pek cek when I see the toilet which I just clean it become dirty again.. The chores that I have been doing are vacuuming, mopping, washing of clothes, boil water, clean toilet EVERYDAY, folding of clothes, planting the plants (they are dying leh, all turning yellow).. It may seems little but if you have to do it everyday, you will see the effect. It takes more than a day to really finish up all these. Of course, the above mentioned are the cons, I do get a bit of pros lah. For instance, mummy not around, I SHOPPED ALOT... online of course... I am gonna cut my hair later to short. I get to sleep very very late (its 3.40am now fyi), I have the whole tv to myself. I can eat and drink whatever I want. But then, at the end of the day, I do miss my mum. Hahaha, damm contradict
