1 year

To be exact, 30 March marks my first year working as a full-time Staff Nurse. Wow, time flies. I still remember the times where I was dying to be a working adult to earn lots of money. I am awaiting this year's bonus in June. I promise to reward myself with something nice!! ^^

So what have I learnt? I have learnt so many things. But most importantly, I learnt so, so much about myself. Throw yourself in extreme pressure and stress, and you'll get to see your true self. Well, there's so much room for improvement. But I'm learning and changing every step I take :)

I feel very blessed to be in 43. Wonderful colleagues, adaptable workload and a very understanding manager! Or shall I just say that I'm someone who settles easily? I just get sastisfied with whatever I have.

What I would be looking forward to the next few years would be being sent for advanced dip, degree overseas. I do have what it takes right? But anyhow, I'm working hard for it.

My future looks bright, I think...

:)

On Friday, I attended the Homecoming musical appreciation dinner. My main purpose was actually to get the DVD which I have watched some of the scenes over and over again. Okay, it wasn't THAT BAD LAH. So yay!! Another recording to added into my portfolio! I was asked to share my feelings of that musical as a whole during the session and I would like to share a portion which I really meant with all my heart.

"Though attending rehearsals were very tiring as I had to work full-time as a staff nurse, I did not regret joining Homecoming a single bit. There were good times where the cast would laugh at each other's mistakes, and there were bad times where I would be so disappointed in myself, when rehearsals didn't go too well. I kept doubting myself. But it is through these valleys that I learn more about myself and find ways to improve. I have definitely not completed this Homecoming journey empty handed."

So yeah! And it's so amazing how things I really wanted to happen happen. For example, two years back, I really wanted to singing the theme song of the YOG opening in NYP. Well, firstly I don't think I might have passed the auditions and secondly I was in Indonesia during that same weekend. Then, when I heard that the YOG theme was going to be sung in the musical, I secretly hoped that I would be able to sing it! Then again, I might not be chosen to sing cos I could not have fit the story well or the director wanted to give other SoundCard people to sing. True enough, they picked me and trust me, I heard the recording and I think we really performed it quite well! :)

I'm really looking forward to more performance opportunities. Hehe! I'm just excited of what is going to be ahead of me! A photo with Treasa! :D

Currently, I super duper excited of the mission trip to Bandung in April! I have already applied my leave and I'm all set to go. Hehe, not really. I think what I wanna achieve this trip is to really take a look how others do church :) Ever since I've been LifeUtd, I have always been thinking "Body of Christ". So yeah! There are so many things we can learn from each other!

Excited!! Dumdeedum! My current iPad and computer desktop photo! So pretty! Extracted from 500px :)

The Ultimate Crazy Weekend

I am calling this ultimate crazy because it is ultimately crazy!! I was not supposed to work for my night shift the last minute but I was asked to work the night shift 15 minutes before it started(even more last minute)! I don't know if I should be angry or not. A fellow colleague said she was totally going to report for work that night but she called in saying that she was going to see a doctor for chest pains and SOB.

Anyhow, I managed to have 5 hours of sleep(1000-1500hrs) before not sleeping for the next 32hours. Heehee. After the busy night shift, I had to get ready for the Onco Support Group outing!!! :)) So, from here on, let the pictures do the talking!

This bow was knitted by my patient and she gave it to us! So pretty! I am in love with it and it simply reminds me everything I do in work is worth it!

We first went to the goat farm. My nose was so blocked that I could not really smell anything. And little did I know that this Cheryl Lee would go as well! Hehe.

Yumyumyum!

Next, we headed for the duck tour!! It was really cool! I actually got to know so much more about Singapore. I feel ashamed. Heheh.

In the waters.

The other team. We had 2 teams in total.

After that we went back to the hospital and I had my ward party to attend!! So we hung out and waited for the morning shift girls before heading to ECP.


My beloved aunty Chew!!

And that sums up the ultimately crazy weekend.
