Calling for timeout

Firstly, this lady said she wanted to have surgery on one toe.The very last minute prior taking the consent, she decided to have the other toe surgery as well. Grrrr*On the happy side is I get more bling and on the down side is I left 45mins to numb on both toes, cut down the 4 side of nails, applied chemical application on each nail sulcus and dressings. *eyes roll up*
Anyhow, I still manage to keep everything under control.


I usually used Lignocaine plain 2% for local anasthetic.Those are the ampules of anasthetic in the pic.Just as I was thinking I was gonna have a smooth start, my last patient turned up with massive callus on feet which is hereditary. I should have charge her for a long consultation but for the fact that she doesn't have private health insurance , I'm just being a 'soft spot' to omit the additional charges. I was running out of time getting the full work done, and thus got her to return sometime later. Her skin are quite thick on the top but if the callus (hard skin) is excessively removed, she tends to bleed easily.

Round up on St Patrick's Day

Last last Sunday, I super sian(bored). Usually I will wake up quite late on a Sunday but I decided to make an exceptional trip to the city for once a year St Pat's parade.
What i didn't realise that there were quite a decent number of population of irish living in Sydney. For instance, the city was painted in green and loud roaring cheers from the crowds.

This is taken at George Street-one of the main roads in Sydney city. Thank goodness I managed to secure a spot for my photo takings ;p But there was this Irish auntie apparently trying to videocam the whole parade who went tell off this little girl not to stand in her way and waving her flag. Obviously, such incident pissed off the girl's grandma. I was almost sandwiched' by the aunties when they start picking on each other. I should have pluck up my courage and tell off that rude videocam auntie that this is public place and everyone is entitled to his/her own space. If she wants to film the whole bloody thing then she should move somewhere else instead. Qi si ren.

Start of the parade

Irish Wolfhound-one of the tallest dogs.Mr Irish knight-wahhh*screams*

Old double decker Irish bus

Family Day for the young and old

Irish Hotdog with some salty fried onions. I wanted to try this dish called "black pudding in a roll". Black pudding is made of some pig's blood which is brought to fry.As part of typical irish breakfast -_-

My dessert-taste like pancakes. Choc fudge with maple syrup topped icing sugar. See, I also wore a green dress to blend in with the atomosphere.

Meet your Mr hotties here

The mag, Cleo (Jan issue) had featured best 31 ways to meet sexy single men. Spread the wisdom girls.
I've picked a few tips from the article which I think personally are quite achievable. Thanks to Cleo for coming up such a fabulous topic indeed.

To meet him, you can go
1) around the world -that's sensible. When you travel, you tend to get more opportunity to meet new people with different culture.
2) bars- comedy nights, sports bar where men lurk
3) concerts - most likely to meet someone with same interest
4) fancy dress party - great way to strike up a conversation with a different outfit.For instance, yon can dress up as a Betty Boo.
5) events - art festivals, music parties
6) Friend's party - high chance of being introduced amongst friends.

Can't dressed up like a Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan or not having beautiful hair like Mischa Barton?
Here's some tips and my own 'experiences' on fashion pointers which will help you to avoid a meltdown:

1) Pick the best colour that suits you. Perferably bright tones unless you got a drop dead gorgeous black outfit.

2) Get armed with accessories! All you need is just one outstanding accessories (a pair of chunky earrings, featured necklaces..etc) to draw the attention to your face.

3)Shoes- Wear whatever it's appropriate and comfortable. Don't expect to flaunt yaself with a limping gait with blisters caused by LV shoes.

4) Show your skin! Apply shimmer powder and make it glow on skin! If you are wearing pants, make sure you wear a sexy top. And vice versa.

5) Makeup- Hardly know any guys who dare to chat with girls with too dramatic makeup. Hence, keep it to the minimal level. It would be really sad for a guy to think he is dating this girl with big eyes and double eyelids and the next round, he is wondering if he has dated the wrong girl when she doesn't put on her dramatic makeup effect.-_-

Conversation style
YES to:
- **keeping the chat light and tease+++ (that work really well; I remember I've always tease my irish old 'flame' and the next thing is he planted soft kiss on my lips-no further action later though)
- Lean closer and pretend you can't hear him clearly
- Show to your confident by giving compliment another girl.
-Smile Smile Smile. Why hide those pearly whites?Make use of them!

NO to:
-work chats
-Don't give too much information on yourself easily.At least this will help to keep up his interest in you.
- Pretend you are interested but with half desire. You know the guessing game.

A blog on Ah peks (elderly men)

Ah Pek Yeo is celebrating his 90th birthday next month came in to visit me for general treatment.He presented with multiple sun spots cancers on his lower limbs which he never fails to tell me how he had very minimal protection under the sun during the World War II on board navy ship.
Wearing his thick glasses with hearing aids both attached to his ears, he asked me if I have family here.
" No, Mr Yeo," as I replied politely.
Then he went on asking if I do have a boyfriend.
"Nope, maybe I can get some recommendation from you," as I giggled a little. (gawd, sounds like I am trying to hook up this Ah pek right?)

Ah pek Yeo continued:" Well, most of my folks are much older than you. Unless they don't mind a young lady like you."

Wah, for a moment I thought I am gonna strike myself a rich old man.....hurhur

**************************
Ah Pek Tan kissed my (gloved) hand. Like how?
While I was trying to adjust his insoles when he is standing, he almost lost his balance and crushed my fingers! The fact that he is also weighs like more than 90kg. He felt apologetic and ...........*kiss*.
Sigh* I would rather to have a toad to kiss my hand.

Unhappy Monday...

B, my fellow colleague, has got a huge problem. He likes using my stuff (without my permission obviously) and not putting it back in its original place. This has been the umpteen times that I gotta place MY instrument (with my name on it) whenever I get to work every Monday morning. As I am working on the weekdays while he works on the weekend, I've placed this 'angry' note in my cupboard where I keep my stuffs. He leaves me no choice but this simply tells me that he has poor manners, he has no basic courtesy of placing the stuff back after used. Who cares if he drive a posh car while having such a rotten attitude. KNN him.

Happy Monday!! My beloved kid from Tanzania wrote me a letter from the help of his Aunt. Each time when I got him some stickers , he would use one on the letter itself. I'm glad we are doing a lot of letter correspondance. I love letters!

Another pleasant surprise came from Elizabeth. Thanks darling for sending a flower postcard and a beaaaautiful bookmark as my b'day gift. I can't say anything more but this space of my blog today is dedicated to you. Thanks for being my friend and I've started using the bookmark ever since I've received it. I love flowers!

My Saturday adventure

It's the start of weekend and yet I gotta pull my lazy ass out of the bed at 6am for a re-accreditation on CPR course. Si beh sian.
Though the course start at 9am but I had to catch the first bus to the city and I simply refused to pay for any parking or toll fees. Plus I get a chance to snooze on the bus too.hurhur!
I had a day of fun and laughter at the class.Met up with other pods too and I've always enjoy meeting new people anyway. I was sitting beside this Auntie Pod.She can't help but saying at the start of the class to the tutor that "will we get a chance to knock off early?" LOL
Then I realised she is having her own private practice just near where I work too! Heh, she was quite keen to offer some jobs to me. At least I know there is always jobs around which I don't have to move around too much.

Start of the class at 9am.....zzzzzz

The rules have changed recently on CPR. No more compressions on an adult like 15:2 breaths and 5:1 breaths for kids. The new rate for the compressions for adults and younger children (except paediatrics) are 30:2 breaths. By right after 2 minutes cycle of compression, it is preferred to swap with another person who knows CPR so that you will not die from "hypoxia".

Stab/Penetrating wounds. Apparently another Auntie pod just pretended someone stabbed her with a knife on her back. Thank goodness she got a few nice auntie helping her to stabilise her 'wound'. So imaginative right?

Post B'day entry

Oh, my bro did message me. I shall take the 'scolding' back.
This is what he sent me :" Happy birthday. Find a bf lah!"

Calling himself my bro. D'oh!
I don't find men, men find me.

I cried for the first time in my life




Thanks to the impromptu fugging blackout. I thought I can't get this blog entry submitted on time.

On the happier note/s, I've received overseas sms from KH (one of my dude pals who always being forced by me to read my blog), JP, my lovely sista rang me, Esther -my long time nursing gf and Kin Weng- also rang me and very very sweet of him to send me a picture of tulips!
I told him that he should remind my future 'Mr Right' that I like tulips very much. hurhur.
Lizzy sent me an E-card and along with D got me a bag as a pressie.

Ultimately, it doesn't seemed to bad on the day but somehow, I feel the sense of emptiness ;(
I would still say this is one of the lousiest day I've ever felt.

My stupid bro didn't even wish me - knn.

Married life

This picture says it all. Getting married and entering into someone's life may not be a bed of roses. It requires a lot of tender, love, respect, committment,trust, effort to form a healthy relationship between a couple. If either one slacks from one of the elements as mentioned, you could be the lead actor/actress on marriage machine.hurhur!

If I got a hubby, I will definitely shower him with truck loads of luuuurve and spice him up in bed.

I've got a new friend!

Woohoo. Firstly, she was my blogger mate. Next, she become my new /current/latest friend and also the first guest to my home. So sad right, as you can tell I can count the friends I have here with my ten fingers. Dentist Rach was in town for 2 weeks doing her postgrad course on intravenous sedation. So fun right? I wanna learn to sedate those rich ah peks and run off with their bling bling too ;p
Rach was such a fun loving person and always offered to give me a lift whenever we meet up.
She brought me to this local chinese Singapore resturant on a Thursday night. Finally after so long,I had my first real taste of mee goreng and nasi lemak.

So singkapor............

Then, Rach also had her haircut before returning to the kampong (rural area) this weekend

This dessert place offers a total of 72 different flavours of ice-creams. Special thing about this place is they do have quite a few favours to cater for the diabetics as well.

We also had a sumptous meal at Korean resturant prior proceeding to a dessert place on Friday night. I had a combo dessert set which include a hazelnut slice (which doesn't taste like Hazelnut except for the 2 nuts there), Gelato lemon ice-cream (too citrus) with cream on side.

I had an excellent time to Rach and definitely we look forward to our super makan trip again.
Hor Rachel jie?

Enjoying the abundance of youth

In 6 days' time, that's gonna be an additional candle plonked onto the cake. The thing is there may not be a cake at all.

No harm putting up a wishlist here. God knows there may be soo many wannabemy sugaruncles fufilling the items one by one ( dreaming uh?)

1) Ipod nano - for a regular jogger like me
2) DKNY tote bag - still hanging onto my cheapo bag; need something that look more sophisticated
3) tulips
4) Shu Umera fake lashes (for my party/last minute date use)
5) Quiksilver wet suit
6) Botox discount voucher - I love to make my lips look fuller and luscious

I realise that using Christian Dior's Poison fragrance will keep me happy and focus throughout my work. I used to think that that's such an old lady's scent. I started using it when I was 15 as dad (being a perfume do do) doesn't know what's nice to get at DFS shop. Anyhow, I've been using it especially whenI know I'll be having a long day at work. In fact, the price of the perfume is quite dear too.
