There's only a fine line between life and death. Humans do not appreciate what we have, we take everything for granted and when what matters is gone then one will start realizing its importance. It was a normal day at work yesterday with the same patients. I have two patients on the dangerously ill list and both of them were on do not resuscitate status. One was more ill, on hourly monitoring with inotrope infusion and high level of oxygen to sustain her vitals while the other was a stable patient who was on palliative care and comfort measures only. The palliative patient was my old patient, always coming in and out of hospital for fluid overload and low Hb levels. This time it's fluid overload and she has been quite restless during the stay. She has applied for a hospice and yes the unexpected happened, we found her in distress and soon unresponsive. When the callbell sounded off, I had this gut feeling to go attend to her immediately (usually I would wait for two-three b...

Warning: This is gonna get mushy. ♥ ♥ ♥ We've been together for a year.  ONE YEAR!  365DAYS! ♥ ♥ ♥ Thank you bunny for always being there for me, physically, mentally, emotionally (sometimes financially LOOOOL). Our got together was totally unexpected (by me) and ever since, I have gotten myself a lover as well as a soul mate. He would always be right there for me no matter what happens. Like there's once I got real tipsy from partying and l ♥ verboy flew down after his work to escort me home! And the best part is, we were not even together yet!

He would always give me good morning texts without fail, even at 6 in the morning he will wake up just to text me on my way to work. He's always there when I end work and I'm guilty of making him wait when I ended work late but he never complained (kkkk once or twice onlyyyyy, ma...

Graduation on the 23rd May 2012.  Finally!! Samantha and Xinning SJH Kinkys! Lovelies from NR0827 ... To be honest, I'd never really taken my diploma studies seriously. Everyone in class knows that, going to school is a chore to me. And I hated Nursing the moment I started school and part of me has never really given up Banking Finance. And what kept me in the course was actually my classmates and my CCAs. Well friends being my motivation and pillar of strength is pretty normal but not everyone study because of their CCAs. I can't quit school back then, I can't do without swimming. Class would start at 9am and I would skip the whole day of school and go to school at 5pm just for my swim training. And on days I'm present in class I would head straight for the pool during lunch, long breaks in between lessons and after school. My entire existence is being drawn to the swimming pool! The peace and tranquility you get when you're underwat...
