the jellyfish is back! Tomorrow I am working night shift again, even though I worked 2 night blocks in a row already.

1. Night blocks interesting cases

I finally ran alone with Encik Norazni and Encik Rahul. Not bad la, they got help me somehow, esp Encik Norazni ^^ Maybe is the starting, but I somehow feel less stressed when running alone compared to running with a senior medic, probably because there isnt a person who will keep on saying "You got to do these things faster" everytime. =P Wahaha. Starting la...

Maybe in MOC, the 1st protocol which I really listened and learnt should be the diabetics protocol, esp hypoglycemia. I thought that since this is the easiest protocol to learn, then it should be the easiest protocol to do. Wrong sia!

I actually didnt know that if a person is hypo, the person may have an altered mental state. Just imagine a person looking at you, shouting random rubbish, but yet dosen't know that he is looking at you, and dont know you are there. Scarier than a drunkard sia! Thank god the dextrose helped her, or maybe she will think that she is in the hospital all along w/o the ambulance.

Loads of DIB cases, probably the air in Yishun is very bad, until everybody cannot breathe. -.-

===========================================

2. PJC 10th college day

Went back to take the 3 distinction award. Not bad la, $50 book voucher in a card form. O_O It was great to go back as an alumni, and see all the J2 faces looking very sian. (Eh I was also like that during J2) Some even more power, mug inside the LT sia. -.- Shall comment on the different segments of College Day. ^^

- Speeches, prize giving

Bloody boring. Heng JM was just behind me, if not I would really stone throughout all the 3 speeches. ^^

- Choir song & starting Band performance.

The Choir sang 'Go The Distance' in dunno wad language, which I thought was rather nice to listen to. The band performance was great. ^^ Probably the most entertaining performances for the whole day.

- A guy singing 'Meng Xiang Qi Fei' or smth like that.

Never heard of this song before. Some said that this is a very old song, which I am nt sure about it. In my opinion the song was nt bad, except at some very high parts which the guy purposely skipped singing. A very clever tactic, and is definitely much better than him trying to break his voice at those parts. Good job! =D

- A random slideshow / video showing SG in the past involving some PJ alumnis.

PJ should not repeat this thing again. It seriously serves no purpose sia, and somehow dosen't link to the school at all.

- School song and college creed

Probably the last time I sing the school song. Aw. =(

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the whole thing, it is time for the buffet! =P Definitely the climax of the whole day. XD

Ate sausages, siew mai, prawn dumplngs, teriyaki chicken, sweet and sour fish, raisin rice, some random kuehs, satays. In so many prize givings from P1 until J2, this should be the best school buffet I ever ate. A great variety and the taste was great. The way they present also quite unique sia.

Normal buffets will be like throwing everything in 1 row or a U-shape, and you just get everything in 1 line. Boring. This buffet got seperate quite a bit. There is a seperate section for dim sum, another one for satays & other malay food, and yet another 1 for sausages. The rice and other dishes are then in the center of the concourse. To prevent overcrowding, they doubled the places for some sections.

A great day, but it took about 6 hours of my off day. =O

===================

End of post! ^^

7:47 AM

the jellyfish is back! Had a 6-day break (since I took 2 days of compulsory leave?) from Yishun Station, which should be somehow the same as SAF's 1-week break. ^^

It somehow feels very good to be able to do what you want, have your own meals at your own timing, and do not need to fear of being interrupted when you are doing anything due to stupid reasons like gang fights or asthma attacks. =D

Probably that happy feeling will be significantly elevated to a much higher level when I ORD. Wahaha! =P

Hmm... A review of what did I do for the 6-days break, starting from monday to today. =D The 1st ever 1-week break in NS!

Monday (16/5)

Slept until the evening as I had night shift before. Tired sia, 7 cases, which the 1st one was a collapse case, and somehow all the ventolin inhalers were spoilt. Loads of ppl called for asthma attacks sia! Ate dinner and went online until late in the night. ^^


Tuesday (17/5)

Went to watch 'Priest' with WL at CCK. Somehow War was not free as he had army homework, and PH was as usual not free. The movie was all right, although I didn't really fully understand the whole story and the ending. Some stunts were rather cool, such as the woman throwing 2 stones for the guy to step and run even higher. If you like action-packed movies, Priest is not bad. I shall give it 7/10. =D

For the night, I went into Maple since it was the last night before Big Bang Patch. Nothing much interesting, a lot of ppl are counting down for the next day.


Wednesday (18/5)

Resting day to recover some mental strength. Lol? Packed some areas of the house and my room since it was rather messy after MOC course, and I had been dragging the tidying for quite long le. So now it should be ok already. Haha. Afternoon relaxed by watching random videos as promoted by WL and playing killer sudoku online. Wth sia, the online version is damn difficult, I took close to an hour in solving 1 easy puzzle sia! If only that can be made into a book, bring to Fire Post, and aim to finish before I ORD. Haha!

At night played a bit of maple, a bit of exploring of the Big Bang contents.


Thursday (19/5)

Half day of exploring Maple in the morning. Went to Jurong with William to swim and relax. =D Rented a big float and just circled in the lazy river for a lot of rounds and talking about life. Played at the wave pool also, and it is seriously much nicer and stronger than the one in CCK. (If WL sees this he will go 'Ha! CCK!') Just slacked and here those small kids swimming to nowhere, there was even this 1 girl who held on to the float and just swam towards me. -.- Cannot see ar!?

1 small boy even more power, he was like talking to his friends on a random subject, and suddenly the vulgarity CB just came out smoothly, as if it was the dessert to the main course. (Does this make sense? Haha.) William tried the blue (longest) slide with my float, and he said it was very very scary, and can even hear the wind sound against him. Woah. O_O

Ate dinner and walked around Yew Tee. Reminded of the days in JC where War was chionging the maths holiday assignment at Subway @ Yew Tee, and gave up integration in the evening as he wanted to chiong home to watch a movie. How fun it was in the past. ^^


Friday (20/5)

Spent an entire day resting at home. The best day to get some well-deserved sleep.


Saturday (21/5)

Morning went out with Marcus, JM and Brandon to Novena Veinna (smth like that) to have a buffet lunch. Recently I watched a buffet show on TV, and thus I had this first impression thing. So my first impression?

Wakao! After the 2 plus almost $42 per person sia! The environment was ok though. Somehow the deco a bit more grand than most usual buffet places. Tried out the following dishes.

Meat:

Wine-cold chicken (... a bit weird sia)
Roasted chicken (nothing special sia!)
BBQ chicken chop (Hmm not bad, with the black pepper sauce)
Dory Fish (nice!)
Salmon (not bad, at least dont really have the fishy taste)
Creamy scallop (Not bad! Considering I do not really eat that)
Unagi (I recovered 3000HP since I took 3 pieces. Delicious!)


Mini foodstuff:

Fried durian (Try 1, but it dosen't go well with me, the skin is too dry)
Durian fireball (Nice name and nice taste!)
Siew Mai (Excellent! Really a better standard than most places)
Fried tempura (Nice!)
Fried prawn ball (Er... Nah)
Random california sushi roll (Not special)
Bird Nest tart (Really can taste the bird nest...)
Corn soup with pastry (The pastry is nice! But maybe not the corn soup)

Dessert:

Coffee / chocolate cake (Nice! Strong taste!)
Kueh Lapis (Nothing special)
Herbal Jelly (DAMN BITTER!!! I assume that is an excellent jelly)
Custard jelly (Er... Like no taste sia!)
Strawberry & Mango ice-cream (Nice! But somehow isnt different from outside)
Chocolate marshmallow (Nice chocolate taste! Should have taken more.)


Drinks:

Orange juice (Nice!)
Lime juice (Nice!)

A lot of variety sia, still got abalone rice, random mushroom soup, beancurd, random sushis and the assorted prawns, crabs. Either they are out of stock / I cannot eat / I don't like. Great for seafood lovers, but somehow I don't think this buffet suits me sia.

For once a month and get to chat with recruit friends again, not bad sia. Hear random stories about Charlie & Delta which were rather interesting. After the buffet, we went to Plaza Singapura for a walk, and saw Samuel and Tean. Somehow everybody is surviving well, but wish to POP / ORD sooner. ^^ Good bah. This concludes the May outing.

Night went to watch Pirates of the Carribean with War. Somehow I prefer this compared to Priest, so go watch if can. ^^

Hear War talk about random Tekong stories (his friendly sergeants, his blur buddy, PT, etc). Interesting, a bit diff from Civil Defence life sia!

================================================

That's it then, tomorrow and monday working night shift. Hope the block goes well and hope people don't call 995 for stupid reasons such as giddyness / asthma again. Asthma just use the inhaler and it is the patient's responsibility to check. 995 supposed to save more jialat cases wor. =P

That's it! Sleep! Good night! =D

Previous cases: 13
Total cases: 78

(P.S note to WL: I just updated, haha.)

11:37 PM

the jellyfish is back! Finally another day block has been completed! Super tiring block, with loads of weird cases. Well not really weird, is just that some calls are just misleading, esp the call texts.

E.g. Today

Call text: Hypoglycemia patient fall down.

I thought how hard can that be sia! In the end, spinal injury, head injury, heavy patient in confined area. Standby case somemore, I think the procedure to treat this is almost as bad as collapse. -.-


If not nothing much interesting, loads of chest pain and DIB cases. An old woman cried and looked at me as she had chest pain, and a foreign worker held my hand and told me to save him as he fell from height. I a bit stun sia, what could I do? o.o

Oh well, at least next 2 days can have some good rest. ^^ Off-run! Require 03 days to refill energy. =P



Block cases: 13
Total cases: 65

9:43 PM

the jellyfish is back!

Last night was a damn busy night. Vomit, high BP, false call, leg pain, DOB, collapse and 1 random.

Tired, hope tonight won't be as jialat... Going to sleep, good night / morning / afternoon all! ^^

Happy polling day to all. =P

Total no. of cases: 46

11:59 AM

the jellyfish is back! Today off, tmr and tuesday day shift. =D

The last night block was fun with Anil, Edy, Encik Norazni and Encik Fazly. The cases were somehow weird compared to the previous 2 blocks as there were MIA cases, abandoned cases and anti-climax cases. Overall not bad, but a pity the ppl I work with are not in Rota 1. How sad. =(

Ty Anil and Edy for going through stretcher drill so as to let me be more familiar with 312 stretcher, and also for being patient with me. Haha. ^^

Ty Encik Fazly for all the random jokes (WL should find him funnier than me), advices that would help me like station life better. =P

Oh well, fun times must end. I gotta feeling next block no more medic senior already... Wonder if that is a blessing or a curse.

Happy labour day! ^^

Block cases: 10
Total cases: 31
