As like anyone,
2011 has had its ups and downs. The first half of the year was like
a cursory glance. I can't recall a precise details. Perhaps I'm really getting old. The only thing that I vivid remember was I got myself a new diagnosis, which is gastritis. This is great. Seems like my three hourly meal can't beat my own gastric juice. I don't fancy Japanese food anymore because I puke it all out. It was middle of night and I actually stare at it at the moment, hoping someone will do the cleaning for me. Yeah, I know I know I'm a student nurse and I can't handle the smell of my own puke. It took me approximately an hour to clean up thou. So sick. So please don't puke in front of me, I wont take care of you. Haha.
Twenty eleven was actually one hell of year for me. Its dreadful when people changed your daily routine abruptly. Life without Astro is challenging. Eeks. I force myself drowning in my studies, with aim as straight as a bullet. It failed, distraction is everywhere! Let's talk about second part of the year. Oh well, proudly to say that I have watched more than 10 dramas excluding movies. From English drama to Korean to Taiwan and Hong Kong :D But I still miss Astro very much. CSI, Greys Anatomy, AXN, Project Runway, American Next Top Model, Junior Master Chef, MTV, Star Movies etc...
Apart of the piling stress and some disappointment, posting/ working/ intern is tiring but somehow at some point, It's meaningful and contented if your patient appear clean and doing good under the care of yours. And they will thank you for taking care of them. A thank you from patient will actually make your day thou.
A few that I know of had passed on this year, ex schoolmate, teacher, relatives. Some was unexpected, some was due to sickness. So do whatever it should be done and talk to your love ones, you might not know whats gonna happen tomorrow.
My motto: Having a rough day? Place your hand over your heart. You feel that? It's called purpose. You are alive for a reason. Don't give up. Note to self. Because I know my bff cant 24 7 oncall. Haha.
Hopefully things will roll on smoothly with the upcoming years!
Cheers,
Melia.
