It's the new year after one whole year of the good and bad times of 2012. Time to put those behind and look forward to a better year! These are my goals for 2013!!!
1) Get a merit at least for my upcoming Grade 5 ABRSM exam!
Awesome that I started out lessons in May and in a month or two, I'm going to take my exam!! Hohohoho! I'm uber-mega stressed about it though! I hope everything will turn out fine. I have never or almost never failed any test/exam my whole life(except chinese maybe). So I hope I won't break my record! :/
2) Be a more patient and devoted nurse.
Recently I have been getting really mad and throwing tantrums at work. Even yesterday(last day of 2012) turned out to be a shitty shift for me. At the end of the day I almost wanted to breakdown and cry. It's not my fault that I did not have the time to read up my patient's history. All I wanted to do was to finish up the relevant things for my patient before handing over to the next shift. I also know that I'm not exactly so sharp in details. But as long as my patient's life isn't in danger, it's ok right? I will be answerable to the doctor but I am VERY confident that they will not say anything also... And then patient's relatives had to tell me what to do. Eg.- I was discussing my patient with the doctor whether to start a medication for her in English. Then, patient's niece(I assume, mid 20s) had to INTERRUPT us and tell me to use Mandarin to speak to the patient. I told her I wasn't even speaking to patient!.... Firstly lady, I was speaking to the doctor, so please don't comment if you don't know what's going on! Secondly, I have been nursing her for at least 2 weeks in her 3 weeks stay in hospital!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't tell me how I can communicate with her! Yeah, so that summed up my shitty shift. At home, I whatsapp-ed my manager and asked if I was really slow in doing things. She replied, "No lah, you are good cos you don't become substandard when there are a lot thing to do"(ok, that's really bad english :PPPPPPP) But anyway, it was sooooo encouraging even though I don't think it's quite true. She then thanked me for the contributions I have done for the year. Awwww.... I respect my manager totally!!! I will change to be a better nurse! :D
3) Continue my studies.
I have been pretty impatient and insecure about this. I really hope that I will have the opportunity THIS YEAR!
4) Do more covers/gigs
Especially when I have my studio mic and my upcoming voice pedal!!!
Happy 2013! :D Looking forward!
