Work matters.

It was my turn to work again on saturday, 27 september. It was a pretty peaceful morning but we received a case near knocking off time and we had to treat this gentleman that day so a group of us stayed back to help him.

He suffered from prostate cancer which have spread to the bones, and the tumour is now compressing on his spinal cord and he had lost sensation & power over his lower limbs for the past 48hrs, we called this cord compression.

To help him, the doctors will have to give radiation to the affected area, hoping to shrink the tumour to relieve the compression and hopefully this patient is able to regain sensation.

It took abt 1.5 hrs to finish treating him.

Upon completion of his 1st treatment and on his way back to the ward, he said to me,

" Thank you nurse. You have a good weekend ahead of you, be sure to watch F1, it's a big event for S'pore. I'm in the hospital and will have to miss it, wat a pity."

I almost said, " Not to worry sir, there is still next year." But these words didn't come out cos i suddenly remember that he might not survive till next year =(
He can't watch it in the TV room in the ward cos he can't walk. At that moment, I felt so sad.

This incident lingered in my head while i was watching F1 this weekend.

I really hope the radiotherapy treatment will work for him.

The Rose - lyrics

Some say love it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.

Some say love it is a hunger
An endless, aching need
I say love it is a flower,
And you it’s only seed.

It’s the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It’s the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance

It’s the one who won’t be taken,
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live.

And the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long.
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong.

Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun’s love,
In the spring, becomes a rose.

thoughts

' We do not stop playing because we are old;
we grow old because we stop playing.

There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success.
You have to laugh and find humor every day.
You've got to have a dream.
When you lose your dreams, you die.

We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!

There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.

If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.

If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.

Anybody can grow older.

That doesn't take any talent or ability.

The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change.
Have no regrets.

The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.

The only people who fear death are those with regrets.'


p/s: hmm.. my blog is starting to sound pretty heavy recently.... My tots are pretty heavy too for the past few days..

the worse thing is one knows that one is walking around dead and don't know wat to do to improve it... gosh... tat's worse rite? now.. tis is really heavy.. lolz..

你是一個有豐富想像力和害羞的人,但你樂於接受新事物和新嘗試。你喜歡挑戰自己。學習新的事物時很快會上手,遇強越強。但你的愛情生活通常也比較多挫折和困惑。

Love

By Paulo Coelho

Love is an untamed force.

When we try to control it, it destroys us.

When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us.

When we try to understand it, it leaves us lost and confused.

important stuff

To be true to oneself.

To always look on the bright side of life.

To learn to listen, really listen to others.

To have at least one good laugh everyday.

To have empathy for others.

To have confidence in oneself but not be proud.

To treat others with respect.

To treat mummy nicely.

To treasure love ones.

To care more for friends.

To have a little fun everyday

:)

To Live

To rejoice over others' happiness

To cry over others' misfortune

To love, To get angry.

Isn't that what it means to 'live'


喜怒哀乐 & 爱

Orange days

Kai Yuuki (Satoshi Tsumabuki) is in his senior year at university studying social welfare psychology. At present, he is in the middle of job-hunting season. He is finding it difficult with no job offers so far. One day, he meets a girl who is playing violin in the campus. She is Sae Hagio (Kou Shibasaki). In marked contrast to her beautiful tone and attractive looks, her personality is somewhat impertinent. And to top it off, she communicates through very vulgar sign language. Four years ago, she lost the most important thing for a violinist - her hearing. As a result Sae closed off her inner self from the outside world. Kai finds himself on a date with Sae, in place of his best friend. Unexpectedly, he comes into contact with Sae's private side. Love, job-hunting, friendship... Setting a campus in spring as a dorama`s backdrop, it's the start of a glittering youth drama.

Review : Simply Heart-warming =)

Someone

I just want one person

Someone who will love me, and only think of me

Someone who'll die with me when i die

Someone who'll be sad when i feel sad

Someone who'll cry with me when i cry

Someone who'll laugh 0.5 seconds before me



p/s: Know that it's almost impossible, but one can always hope ;p hahahaha!!
