sharing..

I have to cover many areas for the other matrons who are on leave.So I intended to go to other units this afternoon. For your info, I went to the bank by myself this afternoon.Sometimes I am very scared to go somewhere because I am not good on the road. I have poor direction sense.I cant remember roads well. I can get lost. I have to go round and round to remember the place. That is my weaknesses.

I went to ETD in the afternoon.I meet the boss there. He is a nice man. He shared many things with me. He told me a lot of work experiences..... about people he works with.Past and present.I like talking to him because he knows what you are talking about.He can share with you.May be we 2 got chemistry.

I went to another unit in the morning. OMG! busy like hell.I help up with the chores there.One lady, sweating like mad. At the end we find out that in the morning, she has insulin injection. She was fasted after that because she is going for angiogram. Then we quickly inject in glucose for her.Praised the load that she is ok.gtg

Thinking back..

Xmas day! We get up early and prepare our self to go to church.The Xmas service is at 8am.wao! The church is so full today.The usual seats are not enough. The ushers have to arrange the chairs all around to accommodate the crowd. mind you! the people who perform , occupies 1/4 of the church. Everybody sing the Xmas songs and we are very happy.

The little girl has been sick for a few days already.She is just having a flu---sore throat only with no fever. I know that she is ok. But she keeps telling me that she is not well. She asks me once, mum, why you don't care about me? I say, I am caring for you-- a lot! I look into her throat-- it seems ok-- a little bit red at both sides of the tonsils. I keep remind her to drink a lot of water. But I am quite sure that she don't drink enough water. That is why her sore throat is still there.I also get sore throat from her last few days. But mine, already healed. But she tells me in the church that she keeps telling me about her sore throat because she wants me to pity her. Oh I see! Then I said, throat throat... get well soon.

I remembered , BB when small, I think she was lazy to go to kinder.She always told me, she got stomach ache. One day, I got mad with her. I pointed to her stomach and said, stomach, stomach.. you better don't have pain anymore, or else I will get one doctor to operate your stomach.It works! no more complained of stomach ache after that incident. I remembered, BB in her primary, always represents the school for speech competitions. I always tie a red ribbon to her collar so that she looked a bit more out standing. Today , in the church, the boys and girls who sing on the stage also have ribbons tie to their collars.

DD has changed my layout of my blog.I am very happy! Sometimes we don't have to spend money to make someone happy. Thank you so much ---little girl. I love you so much.Since September , I find myself relaxing while I am blogging.Thank the little girl to help me to go into blogging. I can spend hours and hours with my blog. But I got so much more to learn. Tonight, we will go for the church potluck party. then we will go for the church 'malam berhebur' gtg

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year

Another week for 2008.......Time passes real fast.Then I am one year wiser and taller. Am I right?Ha ...... you know what I mean! So many things happen in 2008.

Dad retired in the month of April.Now he is 9 months old after retirement.Still the same-- wake up late, then ho ha ho ha whole day long. Days and nights pass just like that. No exercises , no jogging ,no smoking(good).........I don't know how he takes his medications. GOK..

DD finishes her foundation with flying colours--3.88 pointer. Keep up, our little girl! well done, we all love you a lot.

BB finishes her sonographer with beautiful colours as well. Praised the Lord.And she is going to advance further. keep up!

Mummy got promoted( ha ha .. it is last year lah!) Anyway .. happy anniversary for matron ship.

Jia find a good job in Singapore.Jia --you always do good things in life. BB says, Jia is always very lucky! May be it is true. She is born with lucky stars. She dreamed to have a boy friend. We all hope her dream come true. Cerbas ..Jia.God loves you and we all love you.

Nong gets engaged to Gheran of Australia. A distance relationship she found months back.Now she is in Aussie celebrating Xmas and Happy New Year .Do enjoy yourself there and many happy returns.Gals- Merry Xmas and Happy New Year in Aussie.

Back home, my mum passed away. God be with her. If she lives, she will be bedridden,and life will be tough for her.Almighty God... we thank you for everything you have done to us. Only YOU know best what to do. Thank YOU.

My nease-- Hie Chung.. will join nursing 1/1/2009 in school of nursing in Sibu.You have to study real hard girl. God bless you.

Gtg.

OMG...

So many things happened this few days.Ha...ha... someone become my face book friend.. yahoooo.

Help organising internship course for the newly graduated nurses. So stressed actually! Become master of ceremony today.Stayed with the girls for the whole day. Dammed tired. Run here and there, contacting the speakers, to tell them their time of lectures--- introducing the speakers, keep the time during the lectures,help to correct the answer papers, and so on, lots of co-ordinating work. But is all over. Praise the lord. DD says mom very great, well, that is my work.

Year end, lots of things to finish up for next year.gtg

No arms ,no legs, no worries....

Nong always says--- no arms , no legs --is the worms. But we see the man with no arms and legs.

Life is full of wanders if you see it in your own way and own world. We went to listen to Nick Vujici---- Australian-- 26 years old man born with no arms and no legs. That was last Sunday.....14/12/2008.The crowd was so big.So many people want to see who is this man.

He is born with only his body trunk with a chicken size leg on his right side and the left sided leg is very small and not seen. He has no arms at all. But he is a handsome man.He shares his stories with us.His mother is a nurse and his father, a priest.Luckily he was born to a christian family, or else I don't know what will happen to him. God is very great !.God wants to change the world through him.He has travelled all over the world to share his experiences in life. He is so handicapped but he is not handicapped in his thinking.He is graduated with 2 degree holders.But why you and me are normal and we are no better than him. gtg

MVDoulos has changed...

Went to visit MVDoulos ...world biggest book selling ship. we went there around 3pm.The crowd is big. I remembered 7 years ago..... it was very different.It seems it is very commercial now. It is just like a big book store ... but it is on a big ship.nice though...but I feel the books are not as many as last time.There are many volunteers working on board. They direct us the whole way... way in and out.But one thing I noticed is that , they are very systematic now. There are so many children 's areas. And also, there are many stores--- coffee launch , aiscream, Kentucky corner, etc. There are many children 's books. DD is very excited. She took many photos. she will show you when she has done with them.We came back around 530pm.gtg

So called friend...

This friend of mine---- like the cloud in the sky....one moment, calm and nice, the next moment... fierce and unmanageable.I am living in this environment since 15/8/2005---3years 3 months 28 days... to be exact.How ... how.. and how....!But I can to it fairly well. One might ask... fairly---- the word itself-- is very difficult to come to any conclusion. Very true..but , really, that is live.I have no choice, but to stay on. May be till I retire one day!

When I just come to Kuching, I feel so depressed! GOK ,how I feel! The home and the children... all every where. OMG!tears every day.But I still have to work. I have no choice, but to go on!I need the vitamin M. Or else we all die!If I don't work, my children will not have money to go to school. Not at all.... I can assured you that life is such.The female gender has no position in the Tang family.That is the fact. But you all, you are my everything to mom.. Don't care what people think. People have money, but money is not everything in this world. The rich peoples children are NUTS. You all also will agree with me. The male gender in the Tang family are NUTS . You all know that very well. But whatever it is , let them be, we are what we are. Lets nature takes its place. God is very great. He knows exactly what to do.

That is when I apply to work in Saudi Arab. Mind you, last 2 weeks, Jess still ring me , ask me to work in Saudi Arab.

Back to the story,my friend will get angry at any time of the day.When she don't like the sale personal, she will get angry instantly in front of them. eg. she once throw her files in front of the sale strap. I was taken by a shock.That was a beautiful lady.I feel so sorry for her. I quickly get near to her to talk to her. I counselling her actually. After that I never see that lady again. So pitiful. I always think, if that is your girl, how will she be?I always imagine this sale personal as my children or brothers and sisters..I treat them as my friends. If I don't buy things from them, it will be OK also.A friend is better than an enemy.If she meet a sale personal that she likes, she will talk so soft to them.I don't know, may be she has dual personalities.

Truly speaking, this is not a good year for her. So many things happen to her family. may be this is Gods will?GOK. Sometimes she can be very nice to you. I have to think, is this really her?Sometimes she just shout to you out of no where.Well, we just treat her as crazy lady.

Going 4 better..

DD keeps pestering me to let her drives by herself. I keep thinking.. if I don't let her drives, when then? When I get up this morning, around 5am. I do all the work--- wash all my clothing--- machine and hand wash. That was nearly 6am. I call her up to drive me to work.She asks me-- which way to drive to the hospital?OMG! That is to say, she sits inside the car not knowing where we drive her each time.Never mind, I show her the way.Now I know, the kids will never grow under our armpit! So let it be! She has to drive by herself from now on.... so that she will grown into an adult.

Dad is coming back with his motorbike! so that we don't have to fight over the bike. That is good. I like that.

DD cut my hair.....

Last night, DD keep playing with my hair. Then I think, why not ask DD to cut my hair tomorrow since I am having public holiday . I tell DD about my idea. She agreed . I get up early , make 'kiaw'-- DD love the 'kiaw' I make for her. She said it was better than the one we eat in town. Ha.... this mean that I am a well to do ' cook.' Angat bakul sendiri!You know, sometimes, we have to praise our self to up lift our own moral.

We went to the saloon around 10.15am.Then she starts to cut my hair.Eh! she can do it quite professionally. Only thing is that she needs more practice.Girl, you have done a good job.Keep up with the good work. Actually ,DD is quite interested in the hair thing. I am happy with her.

Tomorrow I am working.Feel like a bit lazy after the few days off.But anyway, that is life.Some days we enjoy our self, and the other days , we have to work.

DD says, jia look like a teenage girl again! With her short hair and the white clothing.It seems Nong is a bit fatter than the time she was home in October. A bit more bigger... Nong. Keep up!

Sarikei trip---3/12 to 6/12

Took night bus to Sarikei on 3/12. We reached Sarikei around 4am on 4/12. It was drizzling when we reached home. Everything was so still and no change.We looked around the house to see if it was ok. We noticed one thing-- the sitting hall fan was still on !

We slept till around 8am. Then we started our business! I mean --business is things that we have to settle .We went to so many banks to settle DD 's bank accounts.The bank Pertanian become Angro Bank-- we don't even know where it is.We asked Jia 's friend--Agnes. Ha.. we had a chat for a while. You know what? RM 200 left only Rm167!--- service charge...and what charge...I don't know.We get only RM 150! The others' gira angus'.OMG! no need to leave any money in the bank .It become 'gosong' one day! Whole morning gone! Afternoon so hot, so we stay at home.Night time I talked to my brother and family members. Ah yang is at home now. He will be going back to KK 20/12 for his final semester. So he is going to graduate May next year!

The 2nd day ,I brought ant Chew Houng, Yan for breakfast.We enjoyed our self a lot. Night time we went to Bintangor to see 'hua cher'---actually it is a procession of the 'Tai Pek Gong'.The crowd was big. People ruched here and there. Quite interesting though! When the procession was over, then we came back to Sarikei.We brought ant Chew Houng along. She is very happy! She also collected many sweets. Because as we follow the crowd, they also throw the sweets.Anyway lets see the photos. DD with auty Chiew Huong

breakfast with DD.

So....So.... long I don't have breakfast together with DD. But today, I managed to eat together with the tiny little one! I cooked meast meat fried with egg, bitergould cooked with salted egg. DD says-- the cooking has mum s taste. Woah! I feel happy and proud.I thought I am the one who doesn't know how to cook.People always say, you know I have to rush back to cook for you. I don't have to do that. You are so stressful thing, because you don't know how to cook. Well, I am alone for so long, I never starve! I am still so strong and fit.May be I am born with such a life!Always have to be mocked and looked down upon by other people!I was always group as not earning enough money.I am useless.But how much is enough? But I always think, I am what I am. I don't have to life for someone.I am happy the way I am!The other day, Jess from Marolita ring me asking me if I am still interested to work in Saudi Arab?I said, wait till I am after 58 years old! I want to spend quality time with DD. She will be away next year. I will never have more time with her after that.Actually, my life here is quite tough.The other day, I attended the time management course. I don't manage my time well. Especially with my family! I always think of work! which is quite wrong! I want to change myself! --starting from today!

Staying at home....

keeering.....keeeeering......

Morning call at 6am.Stop the ringing! I don't have to go to work today! I decided to take leave for three days on Monday. Jia on her conversation with me that day, give me that idea.She told me 8/12 is a public holiday! how can I forget that! Anyway Jia bring me back to real life. I always work and forget about myself.I feel tired. I need a break. So ha...ha.... 3 days leave plus 2 days weekends plus 1 public holiday---all together, I have 6 days .That is a good break. I have decided to go back to Sarikei home to settle something.I think of the bike, the old car, and many more things.....

Usually, during working days, I wake up at 6am. I will flip through the newspapers to see 'big' news. At the same time, I do many things ---boil water, sometimes put clothing to the washing machine( not everyday we do washing----3 of us not many clothing ) When the water is boiled, I make my breakfast drink,that is instant Quaker oats. Oats is a good food. It lowers your cholesterol level in your body. Everybody can try that. Then I help myself with the 14 daily activities. What are they? may be Nong can tell us. Then I am ready by 645am.I am ready to go to work. You will ask me ,why I go to work so early? well, you know people my age, don't like to be late for work. And also that time, there is no traffic jam. I reach hospital around 705 or 710am. Then I go round ward. That time,I can see a lot of events.I can see how my nurses hand over duties. Actually, I want to catch the wrong doings.If I got enough time, I will go to another ward of mine to see and to supervise.By than ,it is around 10 minutes to 8am. Then I have to go to main office to take over duty from the night nursing sister.We spent about an hour there.We then go back to our own area again.By then the doctors are there to do Ward round.I will be there most of the time if I am not having meetings or any other commitments. That is the time I will tell doctors to wash hands and bla.. bla... One day, I ask the cardiologist--whisper into his ears--- have you wash your hands? surprisingly, he says.. not yet---- when you are here, I wash... or else no. What am I to say? I laugh, then everybody laugh. But he is very honest. I like him. The other lady cardiologist, also so cute, she says to me, if I am around, she always remember washing her hands. Another cardiologist, more interesting, every time he spirit rub his hands, he will ' hands up' to show me. At 1st, I don't know what he is trying to tell me. After that he told me ' I have wash my hands' Ha.. ha..... I am a figure to remind people to wash hands!

The other day, we have a medical student from New Zealand. I show him the poster on 5 moments of hand washing ----guidelines from WHO. Every time he sees me, he will smile. He smile because he sees me washing hands. He says that I am showing good example. When he sees me doing, he will also do. I say, that is very good.

If I am on leave, I have to get someone to cover my area. So next week my friend want to take leave.I have to cover her. It is December , I will be very busy doing the staff appraisal. Tough month ahead.

Feel bored! me never! I got so much to do. I thank DD so very much to help me to know how to blog. That is my dream actually. I can write as I like. I can be occupied. Now I must learn how to take photos to put inside the blog. That is my next strategy. Wish me success.

Malaysia Boleh....

1/12/---each year is world AIDS day. But we have it today.We all go for the launching of world AIDS day. It is done at our Hospital level. The organising committee will pin you a red ribbon or a red batch to mark world AIDS day. I managed to get a few of the batches. I gave to our cardiologist, our doctors on duty and some other staffs in our cardiology department. They are so happy.One doctor whom I haven't give yet. She ask, matron, why don't you give me one?

At the end,I gave her my own. They are adorable people! I ask the doctor, what day is today? They say, don't know. I say you all must know. They all look at me and they laugh. I always say, you all doctors are more cleverer people than nurses. You all have more intelligent mind. Some of them keep quiet, and some say, no lah, matron , you are more smart. That s why you are a

matron. May be it is true.Some of the doctors are stupid!

And also, at the lobby, the comet's give away free condoms. Some of the Red Crescent members will very shy. I take some to show them. They never see one ! Our directer says, you all must teach the community the correct way of how to use condoms.During my training days, the nurses were a bit shy. They taught the community like this--- pretending your fingers as penis----they put the condom on their fingers to show them. You know what had happened? Some mothers come back pregnant. Then the nurse ask---- Tell us how you use the condoms? OMG......The answer was...... We follow how you taught us, put onto the finger and make.... Ha,,,,,,ha.......

World AIDS day is a day to remind us not to fool around .It keep reminds us to live a healthy live.......without contacting aids. If you acquired aids, you better writ your will( if you have property, if no property... that it... mati katak) and chose you coffin and decide your last wish...

Early morning, I got very annoyed by a group of medical students. They come to our areas without reporting to us. I call all of them and give them a good piece of advice. A few of them cried. I hate them a lot. I reported them to their lecturer. After that ,they say sorry.I tell them, I don't like to tell them off. But I have to. I said, If I tell them, I care. A say is a care, no say, no care. At the end, they all go out of my office and say nothing.

2 days ago, I drove to work, only to find out that, a police car was following my back. Usually, I took a short cut to the car park. But today, I have to drive the long way. God damn it!

Yesterday, when I drove pass the traffic light, I saw a man wearing a coat with POLICE on it. He drove pass the red light! Police do break laws in front of the public!
