argh cant believe i missed the first 1/2 hr of Someone like You.. it has hugh jackman in it.. but nvm i'm watching it now
i like hugh jackman haa :)

well
today's been q a day too.
assissi in the morning was q an experience
i was w a s.nurse n we went in to a rm w mr S.
his son was there, so we asked if he wud excuse us while we help sponge his dad n change the sheets so he went out of the rm..
nurse was teaching me abt oral hygiene.. use bicarb to clean the teeth n gums.. w cotton wool..
n suddenly she froze n told mi, "i think he's not breathing."
i froze too well..
we went into a pulse-feeling moment and i cudnt feel anithing.. wasnt sure if i was too kanchiong or there realli wasnt a pulse
but well, the nurse was kinda sure n so.. she told mi to find the son.
i went to the corridor, he wasnt there
i ran down the whole corridor n didnt see him
i ran down the stairs, no where in sight
finally i got 2 the carpark n met him
i just told him that the nurse wanted to speak to him.. i wasnt sure how to break the news tho..
we kinda chatted abit on our way up.. abt mi, med student blah
but we finally got to the rm, n the nurse told him..
he was rather strong.. but well i guessed he kinda breakdown in the end.. but i was attending to other pt by then..
while the son was calling up relatives..
we helped clean mr s. up, changed into new clothes.. new diapers
he kinda poo-ed.. the nurse says tt most pple poo b4 they die.. they go clean tt way.. i never knew tt..
she was shocked too i guess.. coz just earlier in e morn, she actualli fed him his medicine.. n then he was gone
he actualli felt like any other elderly pt i have touched, nothing too different..

it's uncanny how later on the bus when i was reading Stiff..
the author wrote,
" .. The more time you spend with the invalid elderly (I have seen both my parents in this state), the more you come to see extreme old age as a gradual easing into death. The old and hte dying sleep more and more, until one day they "sleep" all the time. The often become more and more imobile until one day htey can do no more than lie or sit however the last person positioned them"
i never thought of it this way..

but well i rushed off at 1015.. caught 132 headed 2wards orchard..
stuff i saw along the way brought bk some memories of sc days..
like the police academy w rugby guys training
like stevens rd towards rgs..
haa S.H.E's MouLi came on on my hp's playlist tt i was listening to.. as i was approaching my sec sch.. aww..
i took a good look.. everithing still looks pretty much the same, the athena's still standing there w tt spear thing, the tennis courts the gates. still the same
then ohmytian. i actualli thot tt 132 was going to stop at the busstop opp wisma, i was wrong.
i was so blur tt i dint drop at fareast.. coz i wanted to go to take 111 frm orchard boulevard.. but the bus went to e side of borders, to the overhead bridge, opp 4 seasons hotel.. n woah coz of my mistake i actualli saved time, n things became "more" correct.
coz tt bus stop was the next one frm orchard boulevard, w 105, 111 etc..
so ok i went 2 sch on 95 finally.

to nuh.. the RTC was damn hard to find, i kinda got lost until i met some fellow meddies who brought mi there.
the mass casuatly exercise was q fun actualli..
altho the waiting time was terrible..
i waited almost 2hrs to b4 i get to hop on aumbulance..
it was Siti had Sarin gas poisoning, cudnt see v well.. lacrimation..
got decotaminated by those HCW in masks.. who pretended to shower mi, cut off my clothes etc.
the EMD docs were nice.. gave mi atropine but well i was a P2 patient.. so i jus needed to be warded for a day, more or less ok..
heard some of my frens told them weird stuff, like he was a haemophiliac, or went hysterical, cant feel anithing, cant feel his toes blahblah..
haa mayb i shud haf done it too then more fun..
my fav part was being trolleyed frm the EMD to Ward 12.. coz the lights in the ceiling just zoomed by... u noe like the way they show in dramas.. pple rushing the pt to the OT..
tt was q a fun part.

aniway i just had to end the day by falling down in front of all my classmates
damn dui lian haaa
i tink this means my shoes have no more friction
tt's well i slipped n sat on the floor.. not pain, just shock.
haa i always damn loon zun n fall down
so haizz
paiseh la but bohpian..
i cudnt realli rem who witnessed tt but i rem Susan.. running towards mi screaming.. "HM!! r u ok??!?!" haaa
ok well to admit i almost fell down when i left assissi too but at the last sec i managed to grab on to some railing n clinged on.. so heng la..
okok new slippers.

serene cudnt meet mi so i went off shopping alone tonite.
it's q therapetutic i guess, weaving in n out of the crowd,
n well i rem frm Stiff again..
the author was describing how she was in this rm w a cadaver tt they were going to use for some impact tolerance tests, and she felt like it was
".. the same sort of company as pple across you on subways or in airport lounges, there but not there. Your eyes keep going back to them, for lack of anything more interesting to look at, and then you feel bad for staring."
"there but not there" tt's how all those strangers were to me.

but i bought a pair of Mondo shoes... haiz they didnt haf the red wedges tt i like.. i mean they onli have the blue one my size. i wud buy them if they had my size *sobz*
well these shoes are closed toed, flat comfortable.. i guess wat i need
but i like these 2 other heely ones.. tt were really pretty
but my pratical side told mi, it's selftorture to stand 8-5 in those.. so i didnt get them
well i'm still considering.. coz they look really pretty.

satsified my shrooms meal craving ~*
