Where did I go for the past 7 months?
April 17th, 2008 by cyndi0cindyHi ppl!! Surprise to see me writing my blog again? keke… Im not a blogger and im rather lazy tat’s y i never come up here so freq. Well, the past 7 months havent been tat smooth sailin for me. Guess tat’s part & parcel of life. Since its over, i shant think abt it anymore.
Im still workin as a nurse in SGH and in the same ward. Recently, juz went to another ward for cross-training. This ward specialises in haematology/oncology, in layman terms it means patients suffering from blood disorders or blood cancer.
Had a severe cultural shock when i first went there last wk. Couldnt believe my eyes and couldnt work. Its so different from my previous ward, where every seconds is so impt tat we cant waste & everybody is rushing ard doin smth. However, in this new ward, the pace is so much slower and the workload is so much lesser. But the staff are still complainin they are busy. Hey! come down to my previous ward and u will be grateful with wat u have now. Sigh… I will be posted in this ward for 6mths & its only been 2wks… Time is passin so slowly… Hopefully, things will get better..
12th April went to Sentosa for some actions in the sun. Act I was rather disappointed as the response was bad. In the end, I had to join Philip and his hall ppl in Sentosa. Nevertheless, we had an enjoyable time playin ultimate frisbee, captain ball, tug-of-war & football. I was there ard 10am and ard 11+ it started to rain. The rain didnt let go till ard 2+ in the afternoon. Thereafter, Christopher & Edwin came down to join me. I got into some troubles with my flyin ring. First, I threw the ring into the sea but my aim was too far from Edwin & the ring sank into the sea bed. As I’m afraid of deep water, Edwin had to dive in the sea several times in search of my flying ring. Luckily, he managed to find it.
After much persuasion, the 2 guys finally agreed to play frisbee with me. I was tryin to throw the frisbee to Chris but the ring ended up at the top of a coconut tree. I borrowed a worn out volleyball from a grp of teenagers and Edwin used it to get the ring down from the tree. However, the ball got stuck rite in the middle of the tree. One of the teenagers, used his basketball to hit the flying ring down. Due to the position of the volleyball, it doesnt allow any other methods other than climbing the tree & gettin it down. Another young boy tried to climb but failed to as the tree was rather slippery. Edwin too tried to climb and almost got the ball down but bcoz the grp of teenagers was makin so much noise tat caused him to panic, he almost fell from the tree. Luckily he has got good reflex, juz got away with some abrasion & bruise.
We wanted to pay them back for the volleyball but the teenagers said its ok as the ball was rather old. Thereafter, my flying ring was not in action anymore. Maybe my skills of throwin the ring has detertoriate as i haven been playin with it for a long while. Sigh… Supposed to meet up with Yuan Yuan but she came too late & went to wrong place, in the end couldnt meet up with her.
After Sentosa, we went to 85 Chai Chee for dinner. It was an eye-opener for me to see guys eat. Let me see if i can remember wat food they ordered… Hokkien Mee, 6 BBQ chicken wings, 五香 + bee hoon x 2 plates, BBQ stingray, minced meat noodles and each of us had a cup of sugar cane. I finished abt 1/2 of the hokkien mee & i told Chris & Ed tat if i were to finish up the whole plate i wont be able to eat anymore of the food they ordered. So they finished up the hokkien mee. Each of us had 2 chicken wings, by then i was strugglin to finish up my chicken wings. Next came the 五香, I told the guys they each can have a plate of the bee hoon as i wont be able to eat anymore of it. After tat, the BBQ stingray came & lookin at it my stomach was protesting!!! It was nice but i really cant eat anymore. I thot tat was it but Edwin went to order a bowl of minced meat noodles which he shared with Chris. I only took 2 spoonfuls of soup.
After the ‘feast’(to me it was a feast’), on the way back to the car, we decided to have some durains. So, they went to pick up another fren & we ended up in geylang for durains. There was this durain tat cost $34 for 5pieces which is abt $6.8/piece. But eatin one piece was rather fillin. They also bought some durains which costs abt $10. During the dinner earlier, Chris & Ed told me how much the 2 of them & another fren, Jia wen, can eat wen they were in the army. I was totally shocked by the amt of food they ate. Each can eat an average of 18 plates of sushi!! Edwin had ever ate 7 plates of rice!!! Oh my God!! I felt full juz listening to them tellin me how they eat. I told them to ‘invite’ me to watch them eat, coz it will help me to slim down. Coz i will be full juz by watchin them eat.
After the durain session, we went down to Punggol End. I have got no idea where it was. When we got there, there were many cars & ppl with fishing poles. Big spots light were also put up there. According to the guys, its was not like tat in the past until Mas Selamat escaped. As it was so bright, due to the spots light, you cannot see the stars. I guess if there wasnt so many ppl plus the spots light, it will be a nice spot for couples to star gaze at night.
Guess the weather nowadays is really drivin everyone sick. For no apparent reasons, Im down with high fever. I dun have any cough, flu or sore throat nor any infected injuries. I juz hope tat my fever will go off soon.
Tat’s all follks… Take care..
