GRR! guess i really need a place to vent my anger. Sometimes i wonder. Where does this anger in me come from? It seems to be overflowing till I feel like asking everyone to just SHUT UP! It's my work again. YES! again! or rather, it's always my work. Work hasn't been good, never has it been. Frustration in me just doesn't listen to me. It comes as and when it likes without me noticing and WORSE! it continues to multiply. Take a deep breath, continue to breathe, but it explodes in the end.

Well, it happened again this afternoon. I know clearly in this situation that it's partly due to prejudice. Argh! Something I can't let go. Forgive and forget. However, my actions and behaviour today really contradicts with my my belief, my principles. I regretted but still I don't wish to apologize. HAHA! Pray for me.

My Life is so happening everyday that at times I find myself couldn't breath, not even a single second for me to take a deep breathe. Staying in 8-1o hours of fear, afraid that I'll do something wrong which costs something greater than anything else, that is one's life. In the midst of all these, I have to cope with the supervisor's nagging and scolding which is enough to take away 3/4 of my energy. Not easy, but I've been perservering and telling myself I can make it. I won't fall into that category - being made cry by sister.

Perhaps today was an exception. Somehow I really am having mental breakdown. I tried all means to control it. Breath in, breath out. Pause for 5 seconds and thought I could continue but feelings are just uncontrollable. I've actually broke down in tears. While passing report, my face flushed, and tears just keep rolling down as if the built in water tap is not functioning.

Give me a break. I really need a good break.

2009-02-10T06:46:00.001-08:00

Night shift has ended. Kinda enjoyed working night because can jian fei at the same time, and most importantly, there's no law. HAHA. Surprisingly, I wasn't as tired as I was when I did my first night during my student days. I tot I would be dozing off while standing but nope, my worries were useless. Well, except for my last night. SLEEPY =)

I started my own training today, with ah bao. HAHA. To make myself feel better, I can only say, it's not bad Yushan. HAHA. Hey, I have not been exercising for 2 mths or so alright. So I guess it's better than I expected. Moreover, it's my first day of menses. Jia you yushan. Finally felt so much enthusiasm into an activity. BUT nothing beats my enthusiasm to wanting to go to work. HAHAHA. cos my ward came a very shuai Dr recently. HAHA. who says I can't be hua chi? I'm single alright. haha. okie. off to poo poo. God Bless you guys. Smile always. Like the saying goes, an apple a day keeps the doctors away. A smile always, keeps the devils and sorrows away. Hang on peeps. =)

Goodbye

2009-02-04T06:02:00.000-08:00

When I first saw him, he looks really depress, no smile on his face. Trying to speak but he knows he's not able to because he's on tracheostomy tube. From his gestures, I tried to figure out what he wants but sometimes I failed to. That made him real furious, while I find it hilarious at times. =)

Then as days passed by and I came to know him even better, the fact is, he's a very demanding gong gong, wanting everything done his way, his time, his method. He doesn't even give you that 5 minutes which you requested, he'll just start trying to get things done himself. He presses the call bell every 3-5 seconds after you finished attending to him, asking for sponging when we've already done so for 2-3 times per shift. Guess his memory is failing and that explains why. ding dong and there goes again. Sit on the chair, he'll try to voice out.

Sometimes it really gets on my nerves. Explaining to him that we've sponged him for umpteem times per shift already, yet he still insists on sponging him. I always made a pact with him, alright, 7 ok? Now it's only 5.30. We serve you dinner first then sponge you and I'll point at the clock which is always on the cardiac table in front of him. Minutes later, he'll press again and ask for sponging. Have you forgotten what you promised me? To sponge only at 7. Sometimes, I'll even try to bluff him. We had just sponged you, you forgot already ah. Surprisingly, he'll say NO! hahaha. He used to be labelled as "the irritating gong gong", the "call bell gong gong". I even scolded him once, showing tantrum to him. You're not the only patient we're attending to, we don't have so much time to keep attending to you every seconds. Can you try to understand? That's what I once said to him. I really dislike him then.

Till that day when I came to work and heard that he tried to commit suicide by jumping down the bed. I was shocked. Though knowing he's on suicide caution, he always appears normal, no suicidal thoughts detected. My heart aches when I saw the wounds all over his body, his head, his shoulder, both upper and lower limbs. I kinda pitied him and regretted treating him the way I did before, so I told myself I must treat him even better than before and be more understanding because he couldn't be even better.

From that day onwards, he became my very very good and special gong gong. Slowly, I began to understand all his gestures. I tried to make him laugh because he always pulls a long face. He always praise me in front of the students, his relatives, saying I'm very nice, I'm his good friend. When the students wanted to change his diapers, he asked for me and only wants me to attend to him. I was very touched when I know I have a place in his heart. That day, I asked him, " how many children do you have?" In the evening when his daughter came, he introduced them to me. He's really cute

Seeing his condition progressing, it really warms my heart, he once needs rouse tube but now he doesn't need one and can even take food orally. He was so excited and kept asking me for oats. I still didn't know that the Drs had actually told him that he could take food orally then and was quite surprised and unsure. Is he lying to me? So I went to look at the treatment plan and was really glad to know this news. Just yesterday, vincent was passing central report and he was saying happily, good news good news, he's now on trachy mask and may be able to be transferred to orange valley nursing home. The good news came and ended fast. It all happened yesterday, including the bad news.

I was late for work this morning. To my surprise, it was only 7.15am yet I already saw his daughter standing at the corridor. However, it still didn't occur to me that anything had happened to him because I never ever thought of it to happen to him before. As I was serving my medications halfway, I saw quite a lot of his relatives walking pass. So, I asked my colleauge what happened to him. He passed away. That short reply kept me silent for a moment, and I started crying. My colleagues find me foolish, saying why are you crying? you'll face more of this in future, you have to get over it, he has suffered enough, time to let him go. Flashbacks of the past when I was still assigned to that cubicle kept resurfacing in my mind. That last Christmas, he gave everyone a christmas present. For CNY, he gave all of us 1 ang bao. I also gave him mandarin oranges on CNY eve. I really couldn't accept this fact. He was still so alert yesterday. I thought my colleague was joking with me. It's really hard not letting this news affect my work performance. I couldn't stop thinking and thinking. After serving the medications halfway, I saw the porter came to collect his body, I put down everything and quickly walked over to see him for the last time.

I was glad that I work am shift today because I still get to see him for the last time. But my greatest regrets is not being able to hear his voice for the last time, seeing his eyes opened and looking at me.

Bed 143, you'll always be in our hearts.

A day out with JOO!!

2009-01-27T07:10:00.000-08:00

YEAH! We finally have off on the same day. WAHAHA! It's always great to have a good missy friend around you.Glad we shared the same view towards working environment. haha.

XBB went back to OPSS to visit Luo Luo and Mdm Ng. Met Mr Goh. The conversation with him made me feel so touched. Though short but the topic went right into my heart. Finally and at least, there's a 1 percent of those few who truly understands our job scope. When people take us for granted and think we are their slaves, at least these are the 1 percent who brings us comfort because they really do know how much we are going through, not only physically but also mentally. They are the ones who really do know how to appreciate us. At that point of time, I really felt like tearing and say a BIG Thank you. What an emotional topic. WAHAHA.

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!!

2009-01-27T06:58:00.001-08:00

WEEEE!! One of my favourite festive. wahaha. Had a very enjoyable CNY eve. Reunion dinner and fireworks. =)

Hope you had a great week too!

A pre-menstruation post

2009-01-13T08:47:00.000-08:00

Looking back, working life has made me lost my self identity. Sitting down here and asking God, who am I? Am I Yushan? Who I really am? Someone who yearns for security but gets none and NO ONE knows about it. Someone who yearns to be understood but it seems that I'm asking for too much. It kinda gets on my nerves when these thoughts keep surfacing in that almost exploded brain of mine.

It gets tiring to live by rules and principles. Keep reminding myself that there must be a reason, you shouldn't do this, you shouldn't think that way for umpteem times. YES! True enough, I'm just tired. Too tired to even say I care. I am truly affected because it's not the first time. Burying myself with the piles of work, I had enough. Do I even have someone whom I can talk to? Gosh. That's the worst thing when I found the answer, no, not a single one.

Humans. It's no longer the beauty nature I see but the ugliest side. Ungrateful, irresponsible, demanding, sarcastic. What more can I describe you. Wearing different masks, you deal with different people. Give me some space to breathe.

We Are The Reason

2008-12-22T02:30:00.000-08:00

A sweet and touching song with beautiful lyrics.
Listen and be blessed. =)

Verse 1
As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
And all the gifts and toys we knew we'd find
But we never realised a baby born one blessed night
gave us the greatest gift of our lives

Chorus
We were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
to a world that was lost, He gave all He could
give to show us the reason to live

Verse 2
As the years go by we listened more about gifts
The giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying
in the rain because of love, because of love

Bridge
I've finally found a reason for living
it's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do, every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him

Chorus 2
And we are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
to a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
to show us the reason to live
He is my reason to live

hahaha. haven't been posting for so long. So tied down with work. So many funny things happened recently. First it was me oversleeping till I missed my work and had to take mc. HAHA. haish, shouldn't have turn off the alarm. haha. Guess I'll be blacklisted. haha.

2 days back, I woke up because I think I heard my phone's alarm subconsciously. I was kinda irritated by the sound of the alarm. I was 1/4 awake and looked at the time and mistaken it for 5.14 am. I get up quickly and went to bath, wanted to comb my hair and leave for work. Thank God I looked at the time again. I saw 0037. I stared at it for a while, thought my contact lens has affected my vision and I'm seeing double vision. So, I keep staring at it and just couldn't believe it. Is there something wrong with the time on my phone? So I went to ask my brother what's the time now. hahaha. I'm so foolish man. HAHA. Fancy me waking up in the middle of the night to bath. HAHA. Of course I went back to sleep in the end. hehe.

Well, work has becoming more fun with the responsibilities piling up, keeping myself occupied at all times because it was so busy. I've started taking case and there's so much more to learn. Everyday, I thank God for putting me in this line, Nursing. It's so much more than what I initally thought it would be. It has made me grown quite a lot, seeing the process of life and death and learning how to appreciate life. Facing different people and reminding me that God has made each and everyone of us differently, how amazing . I think just this point alone has made me really appreciative of nursing.

Just yesterday, I shared with my friend about nursing and after that conversation, suddenly I felt so cold-blooded of myself. HAHA. He says, nurses don't really feel much or won't get affected when they see patients pass away. True enough, we have been seeing death so much that it has become something so common. Death is part and parcel of life. That's the mentality I have towards death. BUT! something I beg to differ is that, we do get affected also. Especially when we are close to that patient. Even patients whom I never see before and has passed away, of course I'll feel for them. HAHA. It's not that we have no feelings or whatsoever, but just that we seldom get too emotional. Because if we were to be that kind of people, I think it would be too difficult for us to survive in nursing. Imagine having to cry over someone's death everyday. haha. How tiring it can be.

Mea Mea ~~~

2008-10-27T04:25:00.000-07:00

hehe. scratching his back

HOHO! I LOVE public holidays!!! It's the only time we can really get together for family outings like this. YES! we went to see mea mea, goats. Today is really busy. Went to goat farm, had a full lunch (PIZZA HUT), wanted to go and see cars, tea time at usual place, THEN it's popiah dinner at my aunt's place. Come to think of it, public holidays are also the best time to gain weight unintentionally. HAHA. so sinful. haha. All my effort has went down the drain. =)

Orientation tomorrow. It's on resuscitation. So many events coming up ahead. Going to start playing for corporate prayer this friday. Saturday is Footprint's Retreat. And ya! I've printed out the photos to decorate my locker. wahaha. And smart yushan thought of making a calendar and paste on it, it's partly because of my short term memory, so it helps to remind me of what's going to happen for the next few days. Exciting isn't it? WAHAHA.

Oh man! I can't wait for next week also. WAHAHA. Big thanks to sister for changing my roster. HAHA. There's 4 or 5 days of working together. Hope it goes well. hehe. =) Tata.

Busy Days

2008-10-25T08:38:00.000-07:00

woo. days really pass so fast. It's now my 2nd week of work. In case I forget, Yushan starts work officially on 13th October 2008. This is the date which marks my new stage of life. It comes with committment and maturity. I was very nervous on my first day, the thought of facing new colleagues, new environment, working in a completely different discipline, wondering how's the sister like etc. ALL these send goosebumps to my nerves. Even up till now, I'm still so stressed up with my work. The thought of being late for work, usually is due to oversleep, is actually enough to wake me up from my sleep every other hour. HAHA. BUT thank God, I get to enjoy 2 off days straight.

In fact, work hasn't been quite smooth since the day I started. What I mean is the days following my 1st day of work. But through these days, I saw God's awesome power working in my family especially my sister. How God has healed her and strengthened her. Thank God for you are real, you really exist. I pray, not only for my sister, my family but for you to get to know Jesus as well. It's more than a religion, it's far greater than you expect Jesus to be.

Well, my 2nd week of work, I kinda know my colleagues better. They are really nice people to work with though I have not worked with all. AND! sometimes my insomnia is because of you, the butterflies in my stomach is also because of you. I pray pray pray that things will work out. =)

End Of The Spear

2008-10-09T09:41:00.000-07:00

WEE!!! First thing first, I LOVE my new blog skin. HAHA. because there's coffee coffee coffee. Can you smell the aroma? HAHA. I'm so blessed with bloggers gurus who always offers to help me change my blog skin. hehe. So far, there's 2 on this list of guru-ians. They are Lim Yee Joo and Jacinth Moh Swee Shan. Many many and million of thanks for helping me out in this area. =)

Secondly, I wanna share a very nice and a must watch movie to you guys and gals. It's called End Of The Spear. I first watched this movie during cell last friday, which is 3rd October. It's a really really nice, touching, amazing TRUE STORY. It talks about 5 missionaries reaching out to the untouchables, the Waodani. Waodani is a tribe who are rather ruthless and violent and revenge killings took place in this tribe. They kill people from other tribes and this became a cycle. They also kill foreigners because they lack of trust as they are a group of natives. Regardless of these, the missionaries still risk their lives, trying to reach out to them and spread the gospel to them. What impacted me most was the conversation between one of the missionaries, Nate Saint, and his son, Steve Saint, which took place before Nate sets out to this place where the Waodani can be found.

Boy: Will you defend yourself if they (reffering to the Waos) attack you?
Father:paused for a while No, because we are ready for heaven but they are not.

I was so awed upon hearing this conversation. They are going out in all means to spread the gospel to them. They know these group of people are ruthless but still they want to let them know of God's existence, even when they know they may get killed by them. In the end, Nate Saint and the rest of the missionaries were killed by the Waos. However, the wives of these missionaries continued to reach out to these group of people by offering medical aid to them. It took so much for one to say, " I forgive you" isn't it? Especially when it involves your love ones. Imagine I killed your love ones, will you still help me when I need help? God's forgiveness is so awesome isn't it? Watch watch WATCH this movie. It can be found on youtube.

Not bad ah, yushan knows how to upload video from youtube. HAHA.

Go Easy On Fishies

2008-10-03T08:44:00.000-07:00

Oh man! Am I so fated to Fish & Co. this year? or am I fated to the calmari, fish and chips? haha. Guess what? I had my 2nd birthday party at Fish & Co. again. It still was a surprise because my birthday was long over, i mean few days over, I didn't expect sis Helen to celebrate with us. Well, this time round, there's a 2nd birthday girl. Happy Birthday to the both of us. I must say I didn't really enjoy my birthday, my actual birth DAY. But well, God has taught me lesson on that day. =) so it's kinda worth it ain't it? I was so full on that day not because of Fish & Co. Well, it adds on to it BUT I had a FOOD Marathon. HAHA. I had curry rice for breakfast early in the morning, my 1st time to Marche (a treat from sister), Iced Horlicks for tea time at Ya Kun and last but not least, mushie salad at Fish & Co. I thank God for PHs because I get to spend quality time with my love ones.

OH YES! this is my surprise birthday gift from the girls. HAHAHA. It was real real hilarious. HAHA. Have you figured out what it is? =)

Lim Yee JoO

2008-09-30T07:33:00.000-07:00

Thanks joo for this lovely love letter. HAHA. I had fun during that months of attachment with you also. So, thank you too. =)

1 more year to go before I'm blessed with a boyfriend. HAHA. see ya, BF. =)

deep in thoughts

2008-09-29T10:05:00.000-07:00

My brain doesn't seem to stop thinking and thinking. It's gonna be a random post. I've been doing wrong things lately and I promise You not to do it again. Is this what you meant by soul ties? I saw the ugly side of people and the nice side of people in a day. Upon comparison, I felt disgusted for what I'm actually doing. I'm afraid I was thinking too much but I know it's not. I was again reminded of 1 Tim 4:12. I see people struggling, not knowing what exactly they need and what they want, not knowing what are their goals, their purpose in life and they just live aimlessly. People do not appreciate what they have, they can quarrel over things e.g. cars when the poorer doesn't even own one. Shouldn't you be satisfied with what you have now, even minor things and give thanks? There are people who owns a lot but still moans but there are also people who has nothing yet still giving thanks. Paradoxical isn't it? I see help needed, so dry in their spiritual life but they do not know where to seek help.

I have wanted so much to tell you that God can fill up all these needs, how real He is after I experienced it for myself but that day I held back, those words just cannot come out from my mouth. Not because God has failed me, but i failed Him. When I shared my testimony to a new friend of mine in India, I paused and started thinking. What exactly is my testimony? Because my testimony, I thought, wasn't as interesting as some people. Then this friend of mine, said, " I have a friend just like you. She feels that her testimony wasn't as dramatic as she hopes to be, it was nothing much. " But one day, when that friend of hers was sharing her testimony to someone, she said, " I've found what I've been looking for, and that's Jesus."

Do things which edify, Speak in words which edify.

Early Birthday Celebration

2008-09-25T22:03:00.001-07:00

I'm writing this post with lots of gratitude. This post is specially dedicated to my besties, SC and GBB. I had an early birthday celebration spent with them today at FIsh & Co. I really want to thank all of you for the time and effort and love when you all prepared all these for me. Thank you bei for baking the cake for me, thank you whoever who has made the e-card. haha. Thank you bao and gan for holding the cake all the way from khatib to DG, fearing that you'll smash it. =) Thanks all for treating me to the fishy dinner and the pleasant surprise at Fish & Co., the red wine, the movie. YES! gan, we watched MAMMA MIA! HAHA. I really love you guys and thanks for being part of my life.

Crispy Pratz

2008-09-23T04:13:00.000-07:00

OKIE DOKZ! Pratas nowadays are difficult to come by. Because I have to travel to and fro, searching for the place, just to eat the prata. HAHA. But it's worth it, because you get to have free pratas in exchange. YuMZ..hot and crispy pratas with great accompany. A prata session with 2Bs and SC. =)

I did something which I thought I'll never do today. One thing which I find it disgusting and painful, I did it today. That's, contact lenses. HAHA. Gosh! Can't believe it. The feeling is kinda great without spectacles but everything has its pros and cons. Thus, I'm still considering whether to carry on wearing or just buy another pair of spectacles.

OOPS! How can I forget about my FTT?? Guess what?? I've PASSED!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO! So so proud of myself because I passed on my 2nd attempt. Unlike my BTT, which I took YEARS to pass it. Phew! I can start to learn driving finally! Late night supper, vivo, Changi Airport...woo...wait for me! hehe

Mission Trip to India

2008-09-21T05:51:00.000-07:00

YEAP! My third trip to India. Every trip is a new learning curve for me. So much lessons learnt with amazing breakthroughs and testimonies. In the beginning, I have no idea what makes me say "yes" but I have no regrets. My third trip, I went with Rus and Mich. It's my first time working with Mich, I should say it's quite a good experience. We have different working style, different ideas, sometimes it even spark off a little fire in my heart, yet I know it's all God's plan that we're in the same team. I come to learn to love, love and love even more because that's one of the commandments.

Before the trip, we had mission trainings for about 2-3 mths or even more. We learnt and practised dance each time we met and it's my first time learning contemporary dance. Kinda difficult for such an unflexible person like me but I really enjoyed it. That's only one of the things I've learnt. We left on 15th Aug and reached on 16th. Had a good night rest and woke up to pack our bagpacks to get ready to leave for another town, Dhamapuri. It's my first time taking the train in India and good thing I never gave much thought about the cleanliness on train except for the TOILET! I'm quite a cleanliness freak thus I planned to try to control my bladder as much as possible if I could initially. Like any other normal bladders, I couldn't hold on much longer and I went to check the status of the toilet. GOOD THING, it's quite acceptable and not as bad as I imagined.

Having the best during mission trips is not a usual thing yet we had it. We took the A2 class, meaning there's a/c, we packed loads of food from Singapore as you can see in the photo. Ba gua biscuits, sweets, canned salmon, tuna, instant noodles and mushie soup. We even spent 2 nights in a hotel.

Cell Outing at Da Dong

2008-09-20T07:01:00.000-07:00

Woo! This is my very first post on blogger. Well, I mean my personal blog. =) Alright, I shall post about the outing will my MUACHEE-IANS. I seldom accept dates at such an early hour and such a far place but YES I did with much pleasure and I didn't give a second thought about it. Guess I've rot enough at home and that explains my enthusiasm. HAHA.

This very nice Saturday morning, I went out with my cell members to have breakfast at a DIm SuM Restaurant at Chinatown and cell intern says to meet at 9AM!! Let me introduce you my cell members. First on the list, E. Ho, our very tiny little cell leader. Don't get deceived by her looks because she may look shy, a very nice jie jie BUT she can be a very stern person. HAHA. That's a compliment. Next, our 2nd E, E. Yeung. She's the cell intern and the keyboardist. In fact, almost everyone in the cell plays keyboard. The GB products, A. Ang, Ang S.P., Zhu Y.M. and Neo Y.S. OUr Baboon, Y. Chia. Last but not least, our great actress, E. Yeung, who was also the absentee.

Alright. Back to the outing. Thank God for nice and loving parents who woke up so early to send the few of us to Chinatown. Thank God the nice weather and the sumptuous breakfast. Thank GOd for cell leader who treated us. Thank God for everyone from Muachees. It's so amazing how God has put all of us together to form this cell. You girls are really great.

We were very very extremely full after stuffing ourselves with so much BAOs (char siew baos, Da Baos), springrolls, siew mai, har kow, carrot cake, glutinous rice, ZHU chang fen, wobbly egg tarts. After which, E. Ho introduced and brought us to the shop where she normally gets her shampoo from. She says the price is much cheaper compared to other shops. That's true. Our next stop was to a dessert shop which I introduced to them. It's famous for it's peanut paste but generally, all are good.

Then, we took bus to SKS Christian bookstore. It's really big and stacked up with hundreds and hundreds of books. A very nice place to go to if you're having headache on what kind of books to get because you have lots of options there.We spent about 45 minutes browsing and searching for the books we want to get and I believe it's a very fruitful day for some. =) Last stop, tea time, resting time, chatting time at Ya Kun. We took 851 back to Yishun and separated. I followed Elin to the worship practice to take a look and I really had a great time staying in that cosy area with my ears being blasted with the sound of different equipments, drums, bass, singers. I enjoy listening to the drums which goes, doo-doo-doo BISH! The beat, the rhythm, the loudness, I simply love them all. YOu'll just start swaying with the beat, tapping your feet without you knowing. More surprises, more testimonies to come. Stay tune. Expect the unexpected.
