Sometimes one phone call is sufficient. From there on, faith will do its work.

I'm shortsighted.


Since I've started staying in hostel my laptop has become one of my best companions.
Though convenient, its extremely straining on the eyes.



I can't read the labels on the fridge.

That's why I need friends to help me read the microscopic words.


I searched high and low in the Co Op bookshop..


Susan helped me look for it of course..




That thing was so hard to look for that i fell down rummaging through the things..



Susan continued looking..



She tried very hard..



This thing friendship is very hard to find.
So when you find friends who are willing to bury their heads with you in the bookshop, don't let them go.

If you find a shaver in the bookshop, don't put it back either.
haha cus some of my friends pluck armpit hair when they are stressed I want to buy shaver for them.

Nursing lab was really fun.
The tutor was telling us about some of her experiences when she was a staff nurse..
It was something about a nurse verbalising the steps of attaching the 12 lead ECG on the patient and making a joke because she couldn't say the words 'intercostal space' (space between the ribs) properly.

Blur nurse: The first lead goes to the 4th intercos on the right sternum border, the second lead goes to the 4th intercos on the left sternum border..

And she went intercos intercos which sounds like intercourse..
The patient hear already also shy lor.

Some patients have thick secretion along the throat which will cause difficulty in breathing.
So what the nurses will do is use the suctioning machine to remove the secretion.
Usually the nurses will be busy so everything also cut short right.. Suctioning's short form is suck.

The nurse will draw the screens, then it will sound like this:
Nurse: Mr X, I am going to suck you now..

After finishing that procedure, the nurse will change the patient's diapers..

Nurse: Mr X, raise your buttocks.

Oh no.
Imagine Mr X's wife outside the screen listening to all these.

I think the best joke from our tutor was her word of caution of us young girls against potential lecherous men.
Cus they might get excited unnecessarily and you know, so embarrassing.
Sometimes we need to paste some pads on their bodies and those areas need to be shaved so that when they are peeled off it would be less painful for the patients..
But us young nurses are not allowed to shave the private areas for male patients la.

Tutor: Remember hor, student nurses are not allowed to shave male nurses.
