Weighing pros and cons of the 2 hospitals. Which should i prefer. In a big dilemma. If only both hospitals can combine to form one, i'll probably join that one. Haiz.. Put that off for a moment. It's exams time and I'm not supposed to think too much on that. haha.
Completed my gynae attachment. Qte ok, but i prefer paeds. Haha. The kids can make ur day at times. Well, gynae isn't too bad la, jus that studying after attachment turns me off. That's y i cant wait for attachment to b over. And now, it is!
Went to stay at Esther's place for 3days, 2 nights.Sounds like a tour. Spent like 1/2 of the days studying. Well, very stressful leh. Dun even haf much time to eat or rest. It was the first time i can really sit down n study for a few hours without even moving. At home, i'm always up n about. Limited concentration span. Plus the noise at home is intolerable. There's always someone in the background disturbing. haha. And we dun haf doors at our "study room". So noise amplifies. Yah, that's how bad. Fion keeps bugging me for my handphone. She likes my car racing game. haha..
First night at Esther's. Was super duperly hungry ard 7+. Plus they didnt haf dinner for me. So i haf to tahan until supper. I begged esther to stop early so i can eat. Cos my stomach was too hungry that i cant concentrate. Haha. Managed to catch supper, i mean dinner at 11+, 12. Ate a plate of beehoon. But i was too famished that i ordered a bowl of porridge. Haha.. We were too shy to sit down at the coffeeshop and eat another bowl so i took away. Decided to sit at the playground and eat.We were talking about our lives. haha.. Aww, i miss that so much. Esther, u're so fortunate, like i always say. Cherish these times.. At least u're loved and cared. Talked about mine and my dream. Haha. She knows the feeling deep down. She understands. Ha. But dreams arent reality. So too bad.. Wanted to msg someone at 3. Gladly i didnt, cos i may regret wad i did again. Glad that Esther stopped me too. haha. Dun ask me who it is cos i wont tell :P
Second night at her place. She went to meet nehneh before they came to pick me up for a spin. Nehneh has good driving skills! He passed on his 1st attempt. Though he got his licensed for less than a month, he can drive better than someone who haf it for years. haha. Admire him. I felt a bit extra there la. Fortunately got nehneh's "baby" to accompany. Haha. I was asked to take good care of him while nhenhe is driving. So i hugged him tightly and put on safety belt for him. haha.. So silly cos Baby is none other than a bag. A bag shaped like a human. Even put on a cap for him. Nehneh asked where we wanted to go. I suggested NUH. Esther instantly scolded me mad, cos of petrol and the distance. (see she cares for him hor?) But then later, she agreed with me. Hehe. But nehneh jus refuse to drive us there. Fine. Then wad's the point of asking right? haha. He drove us to Chinese Garden (but carpark was closed), Esther wanted White house (but they couldn't find) and finally to a coffeeshop. haha. Ate durians there though they put "no outside food n drinks allowed". hehe. But nehneh was nice both to me n esther. He even treated us la. Cos we didnt bring a single cent out. Enjoyed myself. Was quiet that night cos i was thinking of something. But nehneh was thoughtful enuff as not to make me feel so left out. Thanks :)
Esther, see la. let me comment again. You're so fortunate.
One paper down! Hurray. 2 more to go. Paeds paper today. Was qte ok. Dun think will do badly, but hope that i can score. Cos that's the only paper, i'm confident enuff to do well. Thank God He answered my prayers. I didnt want play therapy to come out. Cos we dun even haf any lectures on play therapy in the book. And i didnt find any information on it. Fortunately it came out only in MCQ and not SAQ! Yay...
Haf to study for Bio and medical-surgical. Killer papers. But i'll try to work hard la.Year 2 is indeed tough.
Cant wait for holidays!! Arghz.. But how will i spend it too? Stay at home? Go out? Will see. Still waiting for Branda to find job.
"I'm living in a home where orphans are adopted by this family. We've been calling them mum n dad since young. My "mum" doted me the most. They have adopted kids that are around our age ranging from 3-16.
I dunno who are my biological parents. But i'm glad that at least I have a kin--my brother. I'm 9 while my brother is 12. Brother is the only one who loves and cares so much for me.
One day, a misfortunate befall on one of my "sisters".. She had been tortured by dad. Her face was covered with much bruises, from a lively girl became someone who fears of anything and everything. All of the siblings were saddened and decided to stay by her side and watch over her.
It was meal time but none of us felt hungry. We were fervently staying by her. Then mum and dad came reprimanding us. My brother, being the eldest among all the "siblings", was the first to b pinned-point. All scoldings were arrowed at him. I wanted to defend him but i was just too weak to even speak out. Mum was in such a furry that she shouted (aiming at brother), "We dun even need you to look after her, if you dun get your butts moving, then get out of the house!"
Within seconds, brother was already out of the room, the house... I gave a chase...
"I dun want you to leave me. You are the only one who really cares and understands me. If u leave me, i'll b all alone. No one to talk to, no one to play with. Please dun go away.. I want you by my side.." as I said these, i hugged brother as tight as i could. Deep down in my heart, i dun wish to lose a friend, a kin.
He held me by the hand. Looking straight into my face, i saw his glistening eyes. The only ones tha ti can find myself safe n secure in. We went to a corner, sat and talked. I knew neither of us wants to part each other. The strong-headed brother burst into tears for the very first time. "i could no longer take the pain and suffering we had in there. i want to live an independent and carefree life. I wish i'm like others, able to live in a happy home. The people there are just too distant. i want to leave that tormenting place long ago, but i controlled myself. Sis, i think that's the only solution left." "I dun want to leave you. Neither do i want to leave mum. Mum cares. But if i really have to make a choice, i would leave with you. Cos i love my brother, my only kin." I smiled as i said that. It takes lots of courage to make such a bold decision. From this day onwards, life will b tough and hard to live by. We have nothing with us. No clothes, no money, no house.. We have to roam aimlessly. Hoping some kind soul would give us something to eat for survival.
That very night, we slept along the alley which is dimly-litted. Cardboards act as blankets. No pillows, no beds. Just that simple concrete floor and we're pleased enuff.
As days goes by,our stomach grew hungier. I stood firm on to my decision and shallnot falter. I know we have to persevere on no matter how hard lfe may seem. We lived by leftover buns that i managed to get from the bun seller. Hoping that it'll fill our tummies.
I grew sicker each day.. Brother got very worried. Did we really make a wrong decision? If we go back, i'll b able to seek treatment. I grabbed brother's hand and whispered, "I can kor.."
Brother tried to bring me to clinics nearby. But when they saw two kids in rugged clothes, they rejected straightaway. But brother's love and care touched my heart. Somehow i recovered. Our hearts were filled with thanksgiving. But this incident made me feel that i made the right decision. Who knows what may happen to me if i choose to continue staying in that place? But right now, and right beside me, is a heart that showers me with all the love and care i needed.
Days passed by. We hope for better lives. None of us knows what our future may hold. But we know thatwe have someone always there for us. And with that, we live our days with joy and cheer.
I love my brother."
