went out w yy and joycelyn yesterday and we had fun! hehe

realised that orchard seems to have lost its appeal to me though.. and i think for joycelyn too! the both of us were like yawning through the afternoon.. sigh.. we are sooooo OLDDDD.... *sigh~*

but the drinking session was darn funny! the 3 clowns, on yy's recommendations, went to this wine place and nade a fool out of ourselves! hehe but it was like the old days, and it's been a long time since we had a chance to sit down and well, clown around! (there's a more detailed desciption of the day on yy's blog!) ahha so yes, it was great! and we finished up 3glasses of wine plus 1 bottle of wine plus 1 platter of assorted cheese (of which 3 were quite terrible)! effectively, it means that YY and me finished up the one bottle of wine (counting the extra 3 glasses as joycelyn's)! - which was really "quite big" -as described by the waitress.. Plus all the food we ate tt day (swensens @ 2ish, yoshinoya @ 5ish, & prata @ 8ish), i'm suprised we didnt burst!

ahha and everytime joycelyn touched the bottle, the waiter would come over, thinking that we wanted to refill our glasses.. so it came to a point when she refused to touch the thing anymore.. ahha and poor joycelyn looked so tortured after awhile,cos we were forcing her to drink more.. yep yep yep so it was nice and fun, and its good to be able to relax and clown around without having to pretend to be all serious and professional! i like!

great! now i can blog in Hindi! e problem is, i dont KNOW Hindi. hehe oh well..

good news! i survived the last week! ahhha things went surprisingly well too! ahha i is happy!

but e lousy hair cut i went for yesterday was kinda (actually totally) a waste of money! i did a treatment and cut, and all she did was trim the ends, and chop off my fringe. now my fringe is again getting into my eyes. sigh am gonna have to pin it up! shit. shouldnt have cut it at all... roar... and the treatment was not worth it either, like ailing said. ailing colored her hair, and was inspired to do a treatment too. her coloring was nice, but she says the treatment was a waste of money.. ahha oh well. i should have just stuck to Peter! rawr.. i think i need another hair cut! sigh.. the weather is soooo hot!

but TLP likes shopping w Ailing! ahhha i was torturing her yesterday, dragging her round and round the gifts section of Taka, trying to gather $50 worth of nonsense to make full use of my darn voucher, and she makes a good calculator! hehe and then i dragged her round and round watsons in taka and wisma! ahhha poor ailing..

and i have a case presentation to finish by today which i havent started! ahhhhhhhhhh great. next week is e midway eval w LHB.. wish me luck!

TLP

p.s.: it's been a rather quiet week, without my noisy brother at home and my noisy supervisor at work.. hehehe supervisor is coming back from leave tomorrow and brother will be let out next weekend. i think my mummy misses him. tsk tsk.

well, today went by fine! hohoho i is happy!
but then.. that chinaman i mentioned in the prev post is still not progressing.. he appears to have the reflex sympathetic dystrophy already, i.e. the pain he experiences is WAYYYYY out of proportion to his injury! and if he doesnt move his finger soon it's gg to get alot worse. but hes so protective of his finger and its really darn freaking hard to get the message accross to him. And he's feeling awful too cos he cant perform. sigh. which made him cry again today. i feel kinda bad, but there's so little i can do! we cant dont force him, and we cant force him, so what are we supposed to do?
and its so hard explaining things to him cos my mandarin sucks, and he cant seem to fully comprehend what i am trying to say, so its like we just keep repeating what we are saying. sigh sigh sigh.
tmr, the therapist says we shall do an ultrasound for him, as a placebo thingy. i think it might work! cos his pain appears to be kinda psychological as well, he's like anticipating the pain all the time, and becomes all tensed up when we just so much as touch him, which is not helping.. we shall see if the treatment works tmr..

maybe things are not going to be as bad as i thought they would be.. hehe or maybe i'm speaking too soon. i hope things cont to be fine though. just 2 more days.. *twist*

well i spent half of today observing the speech therapists at work, and it was rather interesting! stutterring can be cured! it was quite cool.. hehe then another therapist played uno stacko wtih her boy, interesting rx concept. it was like work, collect enough pieces, play, then work to collect pieces again. must try wtih kids if there's a chance! hehe though the kids OTs see will prob just bang down the whole tower anyway.

and yesterday was full of very wierd patients.. like really really wierd.. today was full of wierd pts too come to think of it! ahhha sigh.. working in hospitals is so... full of fluctuations! and this big, tall chinaman was screaminga and shouting in pain when we were trying to flex his finger, which shouold not be a problem in similar cases. but there he was acting like he was in great pain, and it seemed genuine too, but i think it was cos he was too tense cos he was scared. sigh..... sigh sigh sigh. when the therapist just forced the finger down he burst into tears! gosh... i had to spend alot of time working on him, trying to distract him while very freaking slowly nudging the finger down... and he has to come back EVERYDAY! oh well.. i hope he's better tomorrow....

rights.. but other than tt the day went by fine, though i was awfully tired for some unknown reason! sheesh ok then, pls cont to wish me luck through this week! bb!
-TLP-

the scary week is gg to begin in 1 day.. gosh i sure hope i dont screw up big time! ahhhh.. and like i was constantly reminded, all eyes will be on me! i hate ppl judging me when they have no business doing so! roar. sigh.

TLP HATES PERIODS! well.. the period itself, and the inconvinience it brings, AND the freaking wreck i turn into just before it starts! why cant i have nice good steady hormones? i always turn into this monster with horrible mood swings. sheesh.

TLP is still sad btw...

TLP feels kinda terribly useless. sigh.
and in the wards today, there was this dying pt surrounded by her family. she was wearing the oxygen mask thing and trying very hard to speak, producing only gasping sounds. only once did i hear her say a full sentence.
then i heard buddhist chantings in the background.

it was rather traumatic, and it made me kinda sad, remembering grandpa and how i wasnt at his bedside when he passed away.

it's so different to hear that XXX has passed away, and to actually witness the passing of a real live person. sigh. working in hospitals is depressing.

and TLP screwed up everything she did today. sigh. TLP is demoralised. TLP does not want to bother about what others think. roar. sob. TLP is sadddd.

attachment time...
i'm into my second week @ SGH hands, and it's not as bad as i thought it would be! havent seen any gross mutilated hands yet.. so the pics we were shown throughout the lectures were an exggeration! hoho good..
my supervisor's nice too, and the staff there are generally all nice ppl, and no physios to snatch "territory" with. :)
hehe tummyache.. BYE!
