this is it

pissed. im so pissed.

a whole lecture hall of people have notes but your speciality. don't you FEEL/ LOOK stupid??

frankly speaking im very disappointed with my lecturer.

late timetables, meaningless five minute presentations because of your laziness to prepare tutorials, not knowing where we are going for postings till the very last minute, going for lessons with half fuck slides which have no DEPTH.

if i wanted a recap of what year three in my diploma days feels like, i wouldn't have signed up for an advanced diploma.

in the initial stage, i thought it was because i had inadequate information/ experience as a nurse therefore i do not understand. but when every lesson bears a big question mark on my forehead, i realise its not me, its you.

instead of helping your students, you give us more work. instead of facilitating our learning, you are the one creating road blocks.

if i didn't study for lessons before hand and came with questions, i wouldnt know ANYTHING.

its pure disappointment that i write this post. people always tell me you will learn so much from an advanced diploma but frankly speaking all that i ever learnt in these past 6 weeks is the information i found for myself. i learn nothing much from your lessons. and frankly speaking, the whole class is quite tolerant of your inability to teach.

but not to give us lecture notes when YOU HAVE IT beforehand? thats bloody ridiculous.

are you helping you're students to fail? because if you are, you're doing a GREAT job at it.

fresh start

its months since i blogged. somehow i feel that talking here unclogs my brains.

anyways much has happened since my last post.

im no longer working in 63 plastics.

im currently bonded to SGH for another two years (so its 2 and a half more years...)

im currently doing my medical surgical nursing advanced diploma (hello north canteen again.)

most importantly, i have a GODDAUGHTER! faith regina ho kai en. :)

really, i can't complain. i've learnt to be thankful these days, for the people who love me, for the things given to me. As for the things not granted, i guess i understand that someday i will know why.

went to see a colleague yesterday. it broke my heart, seeing her as a patient. i cried. and those who know me know im not someone who cries very often. im praying for you babe, everyday.
it is here that i really felt sometimes that unfortunate things happen to good people.

it was a rainy sunday morning when i pulled myself to church to pray. it was one of those rare days when i decided not to pray FOR myself but i prayed for others. for faith. for my uncle. for my friend. and i guess i had an awakening of sorts. that sometimes, you dont go to church just so God can give you the things you want. but rather pray for your loved ones so that they can have the things you do. that they may have good health. that they may do well.

i wished that it was worth more than 30 seconds on a rainy sunday morning.

went home to finish up my presentation ( FINALLY! im beginning to dream about microsoft powerpoint these days...) and had dinner with the Hos. Faith;s phlegm is still thick thick thick but im keeping my fingers crossed that her health improves. sigh sometimes i feel i may NEVER be ready for motherhood. all the sacrifices and late nights and putting your child first before your own needs. Seeing pet and robin with faith makes me feel more grateful that my parents dote on me so (number one daddy's girl!)

keeping half an eye on the merseyside darby. torres injured and morals are down. Liverpool, we need a miracle. i hope it comes in the form of Rafael Benitez.
