Started my nights on friday and ended it in the morning today.
Because of only having three hours of sleep yesterday, was head-banging in the train today. After my shift yday, went straight to church. (amazing that i did not sleep halfway during the sermon) and Ganga who was working with me did not get any sleep at all between her first and 2nd night, so it's even more amazing that the two of us could get past the whole night, it would have been terrible if we fell asleep while sponging the patients.
Anyway, talking about the patients, some of them look really really REALLY frightening at night! There was this patient whom i dared not do alot of things near her, cos she looks scary enough and yet her bed has to be next to the window. (The exact same place Diana said she saw a figure standing when she was doing her night some time ago!)
But what i like about doing nights is that, the 6 staff- usually its four of them, plus me and Pete, another nursing student get to sit down and chat,(BONDING TIME!) listen to songs while doing those paper work at the counter. And having nights means not having the ward Sister (and i don't like her at all, but that's another story) watching my moves and not being rushed by doctors or other staff. =D
And best friend's birthday was last wed! Had a great time celebrating and "planning" for it in the sly. From ignoring your calls, to accidentally bumping into you halfway at the escalator, Dee brilliantly distracting you so that you won't see us, then blowing all those balloons in the middle of Bugis (hey, cherish me and Dot okay, we were willing to lose our faces for you), running into the cafe before you see us with the balloons, hiding and surprising you from behind with them, to the wonderful lunch together, watching the waiters surprise you with the little cake and the many candles and finally smearing your face with cream. =D
i know im very late with this shout out but HAPPY 19TH BESSIE FRENDA! and HAPPY 18th HONEY! (the reason why i asked you to come along was so we could also celebrate your bday by surprise too =( it would have been so much more fun if you could join, but the more stressful for the five of us! =p)
and thank you Dot, Dee, Aly and Pearl.. we're all really very smart huh? =)
Gurl, hope you enjoyed it too, and really hope it took you by surprise.
