Someone at the age of 35 would be soon promoted to be the ADN (Assistant Director of Nursing). Wow! Most ADNs are like in their late forties, fifties or even near 60... Here is someone who has her Masters and already is an APN ( Advance Practice Nurse), which is already a big deal these days. By 1 July she would officially be promoted to a position much desired and fought for by many nurses. A position which brings envy to many people. It is also commented that she would be the youngest ADN known. How cool is that?
I wonder where my career be when I am 35? Probably still a pathetic SSN ( Senior Staff Nurse) and at most maybe a NC (Nurse Clinician) or NM ( Nurse Manager). I can't see myself anywhere near being an APN, so don't talk about being an ADN. Anyway, I doubt I would have the capabilities like her to move up the corporate ladder so quickly. She was barely an APN for 2 years!!!
However, due to the constant grooming and sponsorship of KK, she is bonded to KK for the rest of her life, much akin to selling her life, soul and body to KK. This something I kind of dislike: being tied down to an organization with no chance of searching for a higher salaried job in the private section, which also has quite a fast track of promotion if you have a glib tongue.
Anyway, I won't see myself getting a degree or Masters, 'cause I know I am not that capable as compared to my peers... I am destined to a small fly at work... Someone who is replacable and of no importance to the organization...

Kelong World Cup 2010
Recently, been losing money betting on the world cup football... The scores nowadays are getting more and more unpredictable and those strong teams are getting weaker and beaten. Why? One good reason would be KELONG!!!! Imagine England and Germany are like losing to countries which were labelled as weak and not good...
Have already lost $50 bucks over these 2 weeks... So pissed off! Can these teams play fairly or buck up or not? Making people and fans around the world lose money and disappointed with their performance...

Happy Birthday XXXX
Not sure why after so many years, you still do appear into my dreams randomly?
Not sure why after so many years, I am still reminded of you on & off?
Not sure why after so many years, I am still feel the pains of us losing contact?
Not sure why after so many years, I am still bothered by your words 'sad ending to our relationship' when I chose to get married and move on?
Although, I am curious to know how you are getting on and what you are up to recently, but I dare not to pursue furthur.
Although, I very much wish to meet up with you for a cup of coffee and chat with you, but I guess when that day comes, I may politely refuse meeting you.
Although, I would like to add you as a friend on Facebook, but I dared not click that 'add as friend' button for fear of the unknown.
Happy Birthday...

Final 3 days!
3 days more and I officially graduated from my Advance Diploma course to resume back my full fledged RN status. Kinda excited, yet sad... Yeah, I have been looked down by many other staff from different department thinking I am just a newbie student who has no knowledge or experience but yet I enjoy the freedom of walking away from such people instead of arguing with them (lessen my responsibilities and save my time listening to crappy orders or comments made by them).
Yesterday was a good example of never belittle a Advance Diploma student...
Doctor: who is the nurse in charge of bed 24 patient?
Me: I am.
Doctor (looking at me up & down): erm, I mean in charge of this bed 24 patient.
Me: I?
Doctor: You are just a student, how can u be in charge, how come this ward allow a student to take charge of patients? Who is in charge of you then?
(Another RN walks up) RN: Nevermind, you can tell me the orders, I would then pass the message over to the in charge.
Me to the RN: Later, you tell me what is going on... (walks away)
Moments later...
RN: Amelia, the doctor say the patient's medication is very funny and she has taken 5 of the medication already?
Me: What medications are you talking about? Where is the medication now?
RN: I don't know, the medications are her own medications from home and she has consumed 5 of it!
Me: What is name of the medication?
RN: I don't know, the doctor just told me like that!
Walks over to the doctor...
Me: Excuse me, what message did you tell my colleague to tell the in-charge, who is me???
Doctor: I told her that the patient is allergic to Panadol but yet she has been taking her own medications which contains Panadol for many years. Anyway, she refuses to hand over her 5 tablets which is left with her as she says that the medication is hard to get and she rather keeps it on her own.
Me: .... (walking away to the patient to convince her to let us handle her medications)
What a distorted message I got!!!!

Romance Post-Marriage = 0
Was having a chat with a patient's mum over the past few days while trying to bluff my marital status (which was blown by my ward manager). Hence, after my cover was blown, I started to lament to her about my husband being very practical and very much less romantic ever since we ROM-ed. Yes, he is still sweet at times and does pamper me once in a blue moon, but I miss the good ole times when courtship was filled with daily doses of romantic gestures and pampering...
As this patient's mum works with SDU (Social Developement Unit), she began to share with me that most married tend to divorce over lack of romance issues and even told me that romance is only meant for courting couples, which after marriage this romance would soon die down. After marriage, it is more of a time for the couple to settle down, be as a unit and be practical about building their relationship furthur and developing their own culture and home-life. She even told me that she would rather a practical, down to earth, geeky husband than a romantic husband. Her logic? A down to earth and practical husband would have lesser chance of extra-marital affairs and is more reliable.
I am not sure if it is due to era differences but I see other married peers also telling me the same story. Romantic life has died post-marriage, especially to Asian men, some feels vast differences while some feels slight differences. As a compare myself with other peers, I seem to be on the average range with lesser than normal romance post marriage. Somehow, it just doesn't sit right with me... Talking to him about it also is futile...
Yes... I am a romantic freak!!! I am a princes who needs daily doses of sweet gestures and pampering. I am a woman who craves for a romantic love-life with a romantic husband who allows me to indulge in his loving embraces and kisses till the day I die.
