SUmmEr in WinTER...

today would be one of those days when the bottle of moscato would come in handy...

work has been quite stressful lately actually both physically and especially mentally... one of the new young patients on MRT found out today that he has only weeks to live, and the worse thing was they only recently had a baby, it was really sad today when I was talking to them both and both of them started crying... another of my patient presented really oddly and all the assessments done up to date have indicated nil significant cognitive issues, and so I am running out of ideas at this stage... then another patient whom had the fall when we did the hob transfer previously came back to us, and I was going to reattempt the hob transfer again with kevin today when deanna was like are you sure you should do this again, are there any other alternatives... so in the end, the patient also did not want to do it and I ended up wasting people's time, and now I ended up having to do a HV in tregear, not a suburb I want to be in actually, after the last time I was out there... and today was drilled by the team during case conference about the patients... and Kara told me today that she is now going on this diet  and she can no longer eat chicken schnitzel with me on thursdays... alamak... one of our patients has been singing this seven dwarfs song during therapy, and today, we were trying to get her to sing a different song, and I just said twinkle twinkle little star and she started singing too, and we were like singing along with her, it was actually quite a nice feeling... even though it was physically exhausting...

生日快乐。。。

birthday long weekend... drove down to bowral and berrima on friday, it was cold and windy that day, and of course, my period decided to appear that day as well... visited and walked around the towns of berrima and bowral, the high tea was not nice at all, the only good thing was that we got to sit in front of an actual fireplace... the room we had was really nice though, on the top floor and overlooking the golf course... passed by alot of nice houses on the same street and another hotel called Gibraltar, which looked even nicer... went into one of the cafes for lunch and the schnitzel dish we ordered was not nice at all as well, and ended up eating cup noodles for dinner... buffet breakfast was alot better though, ate till I was so stuffed that I had to cancel the buffet dinner that night, and of course no one was happy abt that... ended up eating my bits and pieces of flourless choc cake for dinner and pongie had Mcdonalds at auntie's... prisy bought me a jewellery organiser, and willie wonka chocolate... watched running man as usual, recently it has been not very funny at all, which concerns me, what will happen if the show gets cancelled??!!

sunday... cleaned before uni gang came, anna cooked spicy pork and beef bulgogi, preferred the spicy pork definitely, karen baked me a cheesecake... the part I do not like, is cleaning up... tried to use the dishwasher that day as well, luckily it was only clean plates, cos we ended up with a puddle of water at the base of the dishwater, and having to manually scoop the water out... not nice :(

birthday monday... kara bought me a bottle of moscato, and ren bought me my fav french vanilla cake... I was very touched :) the sad thing is... pple are especially nicer to you only that day... had lunch out with kara and kevin at red cherry which was nice, and I had a lunch treat... and then had cake for afternoon tea... uni gang sang me happy birthday on sunday, and kara and kevin got one of our pts to sing me one, which was very meaningful, and work pple sang me another one during cake time... and deanna sang me a personal one today :) and mummy and papa sang me one too... and received birthday wishes on facebook... I miss home :(

ChiLLy boTH iN & oUT...

currently watching a singaporean drama called the dream makers, the show's not bad, don't really feel like watching the korean drama, hence stopped it after like the first 3 eps and went over to watching the mediacorp drama...

finally baked the flourless chocolate cake again after so long, baked 2 and only one came out good, and bcos it was the smaller one that came out good, had to get pongie to walk over to coles specially to buy the frosting so it's less ugly looking... the part I really don't like is having to do the washing and cleaning up, especially now the ants are back again... decided to buy a cake from baskin and robbins for my bdae, rather than bake again... less trouble... 

work wise, still busy... don't know what happened to me today, but the interpreter did not turn up as scheduled and I ended up being really pissed all day, and started making sarcastic comments... Kara actually asked me to go home and have some wine to destress... I honestly don't know what is going on, whether it is bcos I am stressing over the pts, or the ants problem at home, or you know who still, or the fact that papa  is planning to bring some relatives whom we don't know over and it just happens to be the time when I was planning to go back home... which means now who knows when I can go back home, and now that pongie found a casual job, she cannot leave... looking forward to the roadtrip on friday... was wanting to have a massage when we are there, but it's too expensive... and also to my bdae weekend... 28 years old... not much happening on the social front... :(

OTOKe...

still no new shows recently, so rewatching old shows, waiting for this new korean show called I hear your voice to finish tonight... 

work wise... so stressed these past 2 weeks becos of one of the challenging patients with locked in syndrome... staying back late... reading up textbooks and journals... looking up assistive technology websites... keep bothering other colleagues... hopefully she will be going down to rehab next week... then it will be less stressful... and if another person asks me or mentions the words switches/buzzers again, I am seriously going to smack them... and the stress is really creating havoc with my period atm... and Ren was like how come you did not want to do a splint for her?? you need to come out of your comfort zone etc... and so in the end, you know who helped me make a cast for the damn buzzer today, which means that I owe both Ren and him a big favour... oh, and that day, I was in the toilet doing a pee, and someone walked right in, and I am pretty sure it was Frances... can you imagine what might happen if it was a guy instead??!!! and I was still having my period, so pretty much everything could be seen...never ever going to use that stupid toilet again!

Finally, 9 years later, I have changed my blog template...
