‘thank you’
Its really nice to have my patient’s mummy remember and sms me thank you, saying that i’ve helped them a lot :) awww.. received a sms from M’s mummy today(for the paeds posting @ kkh. ) ;_; dont think i was of much help but really glad they appreciate it! <3 cant wait for September and attend baby M’s 1 yr old birthday~ 8D
the feeling is so…. heartwarming.
its the last day of attachment @ SGH’s O&G ward, a few of us bought a box of chocolates for our dear lecturer who have guided us so so much 
we were too busy we forgot to make a card, but im sure our feelings of gratitude will reach her, more than just a box of chocs. 
shes so, so nice, always so encouraging, supportive & all. *w* Most of the lecturers I’ve met in Nursing are really wonderful, totally not like previous teachers i had. They are people i actually like, respect so much and look up to as a role model.
patient education is fun too. i had a lot of fun in the parentcraft room, teaching the new parents how to bathe their babies, and how to breastfeed and use the breast milk pump.

update of all sorts: paeds attachment, shana, et c
2 weeks @ kkh paeds just ended.. will miss the kids there very much (in case you cant see me, im next to the botak zul in the first row xD)
.
- my favourite baby M discharged on thursday.. *w* good for him.. i miss him! M’s mummy exchanged emails and phone numbers with me and invited me for his 1st birthday party this sep.. lol! definitely attending! M’s the cutest baby and such a good boy, always smiling so nicely! M’s mummy says he recognizes me cos he smiles whenever i go over! *w* gave M a hug and carry before he left aww M’s mummy was like, “dont kidnap him home ah” hahaha <3
- i will miss making milk and sterilizing bottles for the babies ahahhaa the milk room smells comforting <3 and requests from mothers, “nurse can i have Similac 150 mls pls”
- i got to bottle feed a 1 month old and a 8 month old infant.. it was a very happy “i feel motherly!” elating new experience for me. the 1 month old felt really fragile, while the 8 month old was really cute- he hugged me and felt like a soft bolster and grabbed objects like my nametag ^^
- paeds posting was okay, the ward routine was pretty slow-paced compared to my previous postings in general surg/med wards, but the kids definitely made up lots for it
- thankfully the kids in my ward were all good, brave kids. none of those screamy pesky waily kind
- seeing procedures the poor kids have to go through.. really… sigh. almost cried when i saw the changing of a PEG button for one of the “special” kids, but if the kid didn’t cry, all the more it’d be sillier if i cried…strong kid is strong
- i will miss playing, carrying, hugging, comforting the kids. Maybe I’ll volunteer for KKH.
- having a healthy baby is just more than enough thankful already.. there are quite many CP cases(special kids) in the ward.. and their very strong noble parents.. really, having a healthy baby is more than enough. no need for your kid to be super smart or anything….
.
following 2 weeks at gynae ward, followed by obstetrics. I’m excited about the obstetrics posting, i want to see a NVD(Normal Vagina Delivery) and get to bathe neonates.

^ very happy dear and shana :3 dear claims the katana is conveniently useful when hes opening potato chips :O
- dont think im going for cosfest i dont wanna burn out my off days. sundays are for resting
- parents will be overseas till wednesday
- dear just cooked me awsum noodles *w* dear’s cooking skills improved dattebayo!
- finally went down to la tendo with dear to collect the 1/8 shana candy bikini figurine by kotobukiya which i had pre-ordered for dear’s 23rd birthday in march.. i had opted for the home delivery option but la tendo totally forgot about my pre-order : < but in any case, dear is so happy LOL SHANA :<

Paediatrics
Day 2 @ Paeds ward
————————–
will be busy with paeds, obs & gynae clinical attachment for a month, so don’t think i’ll be updating much. Be adding Twitter to my site soon to update via my mobile phone during breaks!
.
Being in a paeds ward, comforting and playing with all the super cute babies and toddlers… its.. bringing.. out… my… maternal.. instinct! D; I kept wanting to carry and play with the babies. Me wantz Baby, liek nao!!1 Okay not exactly now but in the near future i guess, perhaps in 2-3 years time. Lets hope my mindset won’t change after witnessing childbirth(s) at my Obstetrics posting next. ^^;
.
There are some young mothers who are my age, or even younger than me, which got me thinking what if i were a young mum now. ..Man.
Some cases in the ward are really depressing, but i guess i won’t talk about it here. T_T Then again, in which discipline have i not seen sad cases? ;_; ah. Inevitable much..?
.
I hope i get to practise infant bathing and bottle feeding tomorrow! *w* Dear babies, please don’t cry, okay ;_; it would scare me so if i’m handling you and you start wailing! ;_; uwaaa you cute little things please get well soon

I love my bomber. love love love. took this photo last night before sleeping ^^~ Bomber’s not photogenic (way cuter IRL!) and its very hard to snap a shot of him because he is always super hyperactive~! (those whom have met Bomber before.. yknow! his nickname around the neighbourhood is ‘paikia gao’ btw which means ‘gangsta dog’ lol XD) he actually sat still for the pose because he was tired after the jog~ ahah
