I realise that I seldom blog much when I'm happy. And this week of orientation was pretty much it.Working in hospital can get pretty shitty.
Overloaded, overburdened, overtime, overstressed, underpaid, depressed, used, abused, buried and silenced.
But I guess with a pack of good friends, hell becomes easier.
The Mingles
Much easier.
I really need to get back to my studying.
Cool! Ur doing medicine in China?
ReplyDeletei'm doing nursing in singapore
ReplyDeleteWow! So many male nurses! *waggle eyebrows* Hahhahahaha...
ReplyDeletewelcome to my world..
ReplyDeletepeace >:-)
ooo. with you guys maybe more girls will be finding excuses to end up in the hospital.
ReplyDeleteyou don't fool me. this is bad news for us disguised as good news for you. i'm gonna grab a can of lysol and start spraying.
ReplyDelete"Overloaded, overburdened, overtime, overstressed, underpaid, depressed, used, abused, buried and silenced."
ReplyDeleteSo is theatre... I sleep about 2-4 hours daily when peak period and I've worked 5 days without sleep one shot ever.... and I don't even have a full time pay... and working so hard sometimes earns me only 500 bucks... BUT I love my job! Hope you love yours too... :)
wow!! looks fun! :D
ReplyDeletechill man, relax ur spraying and let me enjoy my day in the sun, cos next week i'm going back to the ward.
ReplyDeleteaw man...
i hope so too.
ReplyDeletewith friends, the most mundane stuff flies.
ReplyDeleteyeah, this cohort one all the 2004 grad passed out from national service liao, guys a little bit more, and rowdy.
ReplyDeletei think being on call is much worse.
ReplyDeleteyou think? lol!
ReplyDeleteThis guy is telling the truth people. I live halfway across the globe almost right smack opposite of the Singaporean time zone and I tell you, I keep on bumping into this guy in Multiply at the most ungodly hours. Darren never sleeps - be forwarned you guys may have a vampire, ehem, highly talented and artistic vampire in your hands. Ho-ho!
ReplyDeleteau contraire mon ami, i am most relaxed when i am spraying. pffffffffftttttt!!!!!! (That's suntan spray. You, of all people, should know the rules.)
ReplyDeleteas opposed to never being called?
ReplyDeleteon call for doctors meant that they would have to be on standby within the hospital over two dozen hours, attending to very ill patients at ungodly hours. a bad on call night can be very stressful for they as they have to endure the lack of sleep while making important decisions regarding life and death and in between resuscitating patients.
ReplyDeleteas compare, while nurses don't need to be on-call but night shifts can be stressful as well, as the ratio of 4 nurses to 50 patients.
:)
ah i see.
ReplyDeleteyes, 4 -50.
ReplyDeletehow come you delete ur comment above? i'm still trying to figure out how to answer them!
sprays!
sorry i keep changing my comments. the caffienated brain disagreed with the precaffienated retort. i think i said something about how spraying (insecticides, disinfectants et.al) is actually relaxing. it is rhetorical, by the way, i do not really pick up the can. see? it's sentences like these that require a lot of explaining that get me in trouble. keyboard in mouth syndrome. the trick of wit is to keep it short. THIS is NOT short. i hang myself over the writing exercises. spillover effect.
ReplyDeletedon't worry, u will never get into trouble with me.
ReplyDeleteyes, i admit there are instances where i think due to our different background and expression rites, i would find it hard to understand your point of view or even your expression.
knowing that u are a very nice and sweet person (of cos u will try to deny that, cos u have a mean reputation to keep!), but u really are, it shows in your writing. and i know you are just trying to be there for me, well in a charming pricking way.
so just keep writing and comment whatever you want, i embrace free speech, humanity and honesty.
(forgive me if this reply sounded pretentious or sarcastic, it's not my intention. but i really don't know any other way to write it without sounding too mushy...)
ah. the irony of the keyboard in mouth syndrome.
Mushy Wei! ;p
ReplyDeletewell done bastard. you have singlehandedly ruined both of our reputations. kick ass turned cream puff overnight. i believe someone already called you "mushy". i'm going to need a case of insecticide to shake this off.
ReplyDeletethank you! thank you! i would like to thank my parents for giving me the uncanny talent to embarrass everyone i knew and a even thicker hide to boot!

ReplyDeleteI cant agree with you more. But for the sake of someone else's life, it might be worth it. - Mr Mingles
MR MINGLES READ MY BLOG!!!!
ReplyDeletei tried my best
ReplyDeletewhahahohahahah!!!! the invincible fly! no spraying nor shaolin monk can kill it!
ReplyDeleteeveryone! watch the video!
ya!! this is an awesome video!! hahaha!
ReplyDeletevery good! thanks to jeniong for intro them. i'm gonna post more of their videos!
ReplyDeleteI did! Very funny! I wonder if they're really brothers.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll go post them, too, one of these days.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad that I've been unloading cans of insecticide without mentioning the Umbilical Brothers (Shane and David) sooner. Their website is as hilarious (in print) as they are. And no, they aren't really brothers.
