Did Quite alot of stuff today...
Such as...
Clearing of Dad's Stuff, Groceries Shopping, Closing of Dad's OCBC bank account

BUt!! thats not i want to talk about..
Today is the Singapore Grand Prix Qualifying Round!!
First night race in Formula One History..,
First Street Circuit in asia (The other one is in Monaco)
First F1 race in singapore!!

hmm.. Comments.. I would say compared to other countries track.. Singapore's track looks very challenging.
Y?... Well, Certain roads are narrow, @ a particular turn its super sharp.. the road seems beri bumpy, certain parts of the track the lights are not that good and the pit lane is too close to the last turn to the finishing line.

During the qualifying round, 2 cars bump to the side, some cars had sparks flying out from the back, some cars spin out..and lastly a few cars went into the pit stop accidentally.
hahas tml race would be quite an interesting one =p

In the end, the result for pole position is F. Massa from Ferrari.. 2nd is L.Hamiliton from Mclaren and 3rd is Kimi.R from Ferrari!!
Pole and 3rd position for Ferrari!! YEAH!!

Hopefully tml championship race , ferrari would be 1st and 2nd position :)

I've been Working Non-stop for 9 days since last thurs (18/9/08). Finally I Get to rest...
Hmmm there were quite a few interesting events lah..

First one...
On Sunday (21/9/08), Did Morning shift which was 0700 - 1430hrs. But i stayed back for the premier case which sister told me to do. Since it was my first premier case, i was pretty excited.
Wah lou if only i knew it was a triangle case... i wouldn't have agreed to doing the case.

Second one...
On Monday (22/09/08). my shift was 0800 - 1800hrs, realli sucks having to work long hours. I did the first case in the list..
Wah Lou, dunno isit i suay or wad, the case was a laparascopic case turn laparatomy. Si bei sian. but that was not the only thing, the surgeon accidentally caused a 1cm tear to the sigmoid... so had to get the surgeon from TTSH to assess the situation..
But that's not the end of it... one of my raytex gauze went missing.. Wah Lou myself and the circulating nurse search the entire place but could not find it.. then the idotic surgeon kept saying she didnt put any gauze in and cannot find... so had to get the radialogist to come it lor...
Then barely 5 mins after the radiologist finish taking shots... tat idotic surgeon pull out the gauze from the abdomen and showed it to me...
Wah Lou..SICKENING BITCH!
Felt like slapping her LEFT RIGHT CENTER

She must wait for radiologist to proof that there's a gauze inside then she do a thorough check...
Like tat i had to write Memo and incident report ..

Third one ...
On Tuesday (23/09/08). My shift was 0700 - 1600hrs. So i did one case which was suppose to be easy one.. BUT... frozen section stated that the specimen is maglinant so... had to reopen the wound. Onco-surgeon had to come in to settle the case but that was not the end...
The Onco-surgeon accidentalli hit the AORTA!! OMG SHIT!.. then alot of blood came out... Prof had to come in to repair the aorta...

I think next time if i were to take a potential Staging case... i better check the Cell level first.

10 Days have passed

2008-09-17T16:19:00.002+05:00

Its been 10 days since the death of my dad.
Ever since then, there were signs of his return....

Glenn saw shadows Twice,
Once was @ the church, the other was @ my grandma's house.

@ home, Sounds have been heard...
Mum heard knocks on the door, The door bell rang but nobody was outside...
i wouldn't go furthur into details ...

My dog Kim has been behaving weird... sometimes she's like crazy as though someone has been playing with her... Other times she would stare blankly at a certain direction.

Due to all this incidences... me & my mum are still camping in Glenn's room.
Though i know wad these signs meant... but it still creeps the hell out of me.

It really affected me quite alot since i have phobia of such things
Thus I'm very sensitive, Making me react to anything i hear or see... for example,
On Monday (15/09/08) nite,
I was talking to my mum then i wanted to walk back to my room.
As i passed my dad's room, @ a glance i saw somebody in white standing in front of the fish tank plus there was a green light tat lit his face... I could feel my heart stop for a few beats.
Upon looking properly, i realised it was Nick..
~ Wah lou ~
I admit that i'm a coward... hahas
Such things could actualli make my heart pound so hard that as if it was going to jump out.

Mum and myself have been clearing dad's stuff...
Settling unpaid credits, closing accounts, transferring stuff .
But while doing, mum and I realized that we had to downgrade to a 4-room flat. Our current home have not been fully paid plus with our current situation, we can't settle it.
My 2 bros have agreed to it to.
So I guess the next few weeks, there will be buyers popping @ my house and we will be looking out for HDB flats

Guess i have to start packing my stuff into boxes again... :)

Never expected such thing to happen to me

2008-09-10T19:38:00.006+05:00

Everything happened so fast

Everything was as per normal before it happen.

Up till now, i'm still not used to it.

Why did such thing happen to me and my family?

It all started on Saturday (06/09/2008).

That very day, everything was normal, nothing special happened.
In the morning i went to work, Went home @ abt 1430hrs, Saw mum washing the car in the carpark upon reaching, Watched the show Casper, Left home together with my second Bro Glenn, my mum and my dog kim to Kovan. Had dinner @ New York New York. On the way home, bought Mcdonald cheeseburger dinner for my dad. Was home by 1900hrs plus. Watch TV programme with mum. Mum closed the window as downstairs was the mid-autumn celebrations and they were blasting the music, Dad did the same thing but he on the aircon and closed the door.Surfed the Net @ abt 2130hrs, Went to Bathe @ 2230hrs. Continued to Surf the net after bathing.

It all started from here.
At abt 2315hrs,

Mum came rushing into my room, saying something is wrong with my dad.
I came out, went to his room. My eldest bro Nick was holding on to my dad.
Dad was motionless
Nick said Dad's lips were purple.
Immediately i told nick to lay dad flat on the ground.
I tired to feel for respiration, couldn't feel anything
I tried to feel for pulse, couldn't feel anything
All i felt was... Dad was cold.... extremely cold.

Glenn was calling for the ambulance,
I could not perform CPR as the room was cramp.
I had nick to drag dad out of the room.
After laying dad flat on the ground, i tried to feel for pulse... i couldn't find any.
I asked wad position was Dad in... Nick said in a kneeling position,
I suspect Heart Attack.

Without thinking and without any hesitation, I performed CPR
Gave Mouth to Mouth Blows,
Gave chest compressions,
Kept checking for pulse,
I did it non-stop.

Mum started calling my aunt to inform her...

Suddenly i noticed dad frown, I thought there was still hope.
I shouted to him " Daddy Wake Up! Daddy Wake Up!".... he didn't respond.
I noticed bruising from the umbilicus to the legs,
White substance came out of dad's mouth... I wiped it away
I continued to perform CPR
Did it for abt 10mins.
Mum, Glenn, Nick watched me performing CPR with hopes.

Paramedics Came, 4 of them in total.
One of the paramedic asked wad happened and any medical history, We gave wad we know.
They gave CPR, Set up the drip, Paste the defibrilation pad on dad's chest.
The machine analyse... it advise not to defib, no pulse detected, continue CPR.
They tried eveything they could for approx 10mins.

The paramedics decided to sent dad to the hospital, I went along with them, thinking i may be of help.
From the house, to the lift, to the ambulance... i was still holding on to hope.
On the way to NUH, I sat in front, 3 paramedic continued to perform CPR, administered Adrenaline, gave oxygen... non stop.

Upon reaching the hospital, the paramedics pushed dad in... I noticed dad was no longer frowning.
i had to wait outside @ the reception
The doctor outside asked for particulars... i gave them.
The paramedic asked for more detailed information... I gave them as much as i know.
Dad had Heart problem.. Atherosclerosis. Had a bypass abt 20 years ago, on medications. No signs of chest pain or anything... that's wad i told them.
Mum, Nick and Glenn came.. We waited for news in the A&E.

Abt 15mins later, the doctor came out... led us into a room
He informed us..... Dad has passed away.
He was declared dead @ 1209hrs.
The doctor asked for information, told us tat dad could possibly died between 2200 and 2300hrs, and explained about the bruising .
The 4 of us were still in shock.
The doctor told us that dad was pronounced dead @ 0009hrs,
He also said tat dad will be a coroner's case as they could not determine cause of death

The doctor left the room... the 4 of us were very quiet...
My mum called my aunt to inform her... she was already @ my house.
Abt 30mins later, i went out to fetch my aunt... saw the taxi, My aunt was in tears.
Brought her to the room, mum & aunt hugged each other..

The Nurse came to inform us tat we could see the body,
We Went into the B.I.D (Brought In Dead) room, A room which i've really never expect to enter.
There lay, my dad's body.
Aunt burst into tears... mum cried...
We went back into the room, the police spoke to us.
Dad's body will be transported to SGH mortuary.
We were to collect the body from there
After all procedures were done, We left to go to the church .

Manage to get hold of a priest...
At least a place to hold the furneral, a place to put the body.
After that, we went home, Mum cleaned the floor, while i collected dad's medications.
Nick wanted to stay @ grandma's house, the 5 of us left home to fetch both aunt n nick to grandma's house .
Came home @ about 4am
Myself, mum and glenn slept in the same room together with kim, But we could not sleep at all

Woke up @ 7am, my mum, Glenn and myself left for SGH mortuary.
Nick and my 2 aunts were there.
While waiting, i called my work place to inform them that i'm applying for compassionate leave of 3 days.
Nick said that my grandmother did not sleep and was sitting on her bed the whole night crying.

At about 9.30am, the inspector said that Max. 3 people to confirm the body.
Mum didn't want to view the body, my aunts insist that the children should do it.

The Inspector brought the 3 of us (myself, Glenn and Nick) to a room and we had to wait for out turn... we were 6 in the row.
Number 6 was called out, the inspector brought us in...
The room had another room inside, we were told to wait for awhile before going in.
The inspector signal us to go in... i was first to go
The room had a glass panel which allows us to see through another room... there lay my dad's body
The person inside had to turn my dad to one side in order for us to see...
Dad's face was half red.. probably from the turning.
After confirming, we went back to my mum & my aunts...

Even though i've seen a number of dead bodies... but somehow viewing my dad's body on a metal trolley , covered with a while towel... I still feel shock.

The inspector came in told us that now the coroner will view my dad's body for cause of death and to determine whether there's a need for autopsy... I had to surrender dad's medications.
Appox 30mins later, the inspector told us the cause of death and there wasn't any need for autopsy.
Dad died from heart failure.

While waiting to collect dad's body, Darence, the guy from the casket came.
We chose which coffin for my dad , flowers, where will the niche be and when will cremation take place.
I passed Darence dad's clothes and shoes
Appox 1hr later, Darence told us that my dad's body was ready for collection.
He also handed us the death certification.
We walked to the side of the mortuary, where the van was there to collect the body.
While waiting.. i was going through the cert..
It stated that dad died due to ischaemic heart disease.

It was our turn to go into the room to re-confirm the body.
The guy from inside asked for a slip of paper.. we forgot to take, darence had to run back to get it for us.
After 5mins, Darence came back and we were allowed to view...
I was with mum while my 2 bros were with my 2 aunts.

We went into a room ....
Dad's body lay in a while bag on a metal trolley.
Both myself and mum were inside for less than 5 mins.. we came out.
My mum and aunts cried.
I can only say that the room had this particular smell.... the smell of death.

We left the place... a place i never want to come back.
One of my aunt had to go somewhere.. so in total the five of us went home to find my dad's photo and settle for the obituaries.
One of the casket guy came to get the photo from my house.

We went for lunch then headed for the church abt 1315hrs.
By then, Darence was there with dad in the coffin.
For the First time after so long, dad was nicely dressed with his hair combed back. Make up was put on his face.
But he could'nt see for himself.
Darence closed the coffin after making a few adjustments..
There was a strong embalming smell.

After settling everything, Priest Father John So came and together we said some prayers and sang the song amazing grace.

As Nick took the car, mum, myself and glenn walked to the church.
By the time we reach there, My aunt was already there.

My second aunt came... even though many advised her not too due to she herself has heart problem as well.
I was worried for her as she began to express breathlessness after viewing my dad.
My grandmother was not allowed to come as she was not of good health and my aunts were afraid of her collapsing.

The 4 of Us woke up early due to we had to rehearsal for the wake.
We inform Penny, the lady -in-charge about the niche.

The Morning went by...
Afternoon came, Uncle derrick flew back from Thailand..
My dad was very close to him.

By 1400hrs, relatives and dad's colleages came to sent my dad off. Darence had open the coffin cover to put in more of dad's clothes which my mum passed to him. One of it was my Dad's Favourite.
We lay flowers in the coffin.

The wake started @ 1530hrs with Priest Father John Paul chanting prayers then Darence and his team lifted my dad's coffin
Glenn and Myself followed my dad's coffin then nick accompanied mum.
We walked to the Main hall where dad's coffin lay in the middle.

Myself, Glenn, Nick and my aunt had to cover dad's coffin with a big while cloth that had a big cross on it.
My aunt place the big holy bible on top of the coffin while i place the cross on the bible.
The session carried on.. Father John Paul said about my dad.

After the session, dad's coffin was lifted and carried into the hearse.
Myself, Mum, Glenn and Nick placed our hands on the hearse as the hearse move.
The Amazing Grace song was played.

The Hearse stopped for us to get on the bus .. We said our Goodbyes
Myself, Glenn and Nick had been controlling our emotions since sunday but somehow we could not control it anymore.
The 4 of Us including my mum broke down.

Mum got on the bus while i followed nick and glenn to the car.
We made our way to Mandai Crematorium Hall 3.
I saw on the electronic listing... dad's name.

@ about 1715hrs Father John So started the prayers...
Placing of flowers on the coffin..
Then the session ended , we were directed to the viewing room

Father John So prayed
Dad's coffin was placed on the machine which slowly brought him into the fire.
everybody could not control their emotions. my mum, glenn, nick , myself, aunts and uncles cried.
My aunts cried so loud, they started to shout to my dad.
I tried to control myself from crying aloud, but i could not control the tears rolling down my cheeks.

After the door closed, We were directed to the resting area.
I went with my mum, Nick and Glenn joined us.
Heard from my aunt that my second aunt was not feeling well while another fainted.
We were there for approx 15mins before everybody left the place.

Nick hold dad's photo in the car..
The 4 of Us didn't Utter a single word till we had to decide where to put the photo.
After reaching home, Both me & Glenn went back to the church to clear the things.
Nick went to school, My Aunt went home, Myself and Glenn went home for a while before we went to clear my dad's Car.

10/09/08 (Wednesday)
Woke up @ 7am, Mum and I went to wash dad's Car,
It has been awhile since i drove a manual car.

@ about 8.30am... We went home to wake my 2 bros as we had to go to Mandai Crematorium to collect my dad's ashes
Left the House at about 9am.. Rushed to Mandai.
Glenn drove dad's Car, Mum Drove her car.

Upon reaching, We Saw my 2 aunts already there with Darence.
We went to a room where there was a small round table in the middle.
Darence carried a box into the room... Dad's Bones were inside.
Darence lay the table with a white plastic bag then slowly remove pieces of my dad's skull and placed it aside.
Its a chinese belief that the bones of the skull are to be place last in the urn as we believe we were born head up, our heads must be up in death as well.
My aunt and myself notice that dad's bones were colour stained... it was due to the long term medications he had taken.
After placing the bones in the urn, we bid farewell to Darence and made our way to the church. Glenn drove dad's car with nick holding the urn ( Mum thought that it would be nice to let my dad's final journey be in his car). I drove mum's car with mum and aunt.

During the journey to the church, mum instructed me not to overtake Glenn.
It rained light showers.
The only thing i was able to do was to clear the lane for him to change lanes.

Upon reaching the church, We went to the niche.
The Priest was there with a small table for the niche to be place temporary.

The ceremony went on with prayers, sealing of niche, sprinkling of holy water, lighting of candles and placing of flower at the niche.
After the ceremony we went our separate ways.

I always thought that Having medical skills
Having the knowledge and skills of CPR would be beneifical
I've help save other people
But
I could not even rescue my own family member
Like that
What's the Point of Knowing or should i say what's the point of becoming certified as a life saver.

I've never expected or even imagine myself perform CPR on a family member.. Why did such thing happen to me.

Though i'm not that close to my dad, but i still mourn of his absence... still feel sad.
But on the other hand I feel happy for him as he's now with god and no longer suffers.

Synopsis
AWAKE, is an unsettling thriller that highlights a deeply troubling medical problem. "Anesthetic awareness" is a rare but dangerously prevalent condition that affects nearly 30,000 individuals a year, in which patients who have been put under anesthesia before surgery remain paralyzed while still being aware of their present situation.

AWAKE tells the story of Clayton Beresford Jr, a successful young businessman who lives under the roof of his overbearing mother, Lilith . Afraid to expose his engagement to Liliths beautiful assistant, Sam Lockwood , Clayton decides to do so when he realizes that, thanks to a rare heart condition, he might not live much longer. His best friend and personal surgeon, Jack Harper , supports his decision to take the plunge, and also advises him to get a much-needed heart transplant as soon as a donor is found. After he marries Sam, a donor arrives, but when Clayton is put under Anesthesia to receive the complicated surgery, he is shocked to discover that hes still cognizant of everything that is happening to him. As he fights through the pain to hear the doctors' voices, the more he learns about his best friend and his new wife, adding further trauma to an already horrendous situation.

6th March'08 (Thurs) ~ NP Health Sciences 1st Dinner & Dance/Prom Nite

2008-03-19T13:00:00.005+05:00

Started to prepare for this day 1 week ago - searching for the perfect dress, accessories etc.
The D&D was held @ Swissotel Merchant Court hotel, located @ clark quay.

On tat very day.....
Left the hse @ 4pm to collect the flower corsage which i ordered the previous day....then bought some stuff b4 heading hm.
Started to doll myself up ard 5+ then left the house together with my 2nd bro Glenn ard 6.15pm.
reached there exactly @ 7pm. Met Zhang Yang then we proceeded to the toilet for final adjustments. Seriously zhang Yang dress for the wrong occassion sia.. hahas i kept telling her tat later when the others turn right, she should turn left as there was a wedding going on in the next ball room. =p
Slowly one by one the others arrived then as a group we proceeded to the ball room. Frankly speaking i guess this is my first time going into a ball room filled with nurses.. hahas. Of course during the whole time, everybody were busy snapping pics.

After we got settled down, The MC started the program and it was makan time!...

Guess wad
1st dish... SATAY! omg who on earth serve satay to guest who were nicely dressed!.. nvm..
2nd dish: Tom Yam Soup! GeeZ! it was so damn sour.
3rd Dish: Grilled Chicken in Coconut gravy, not too bad lah.
4th Dish: Steam Fish, didnt go according to the menu but it was one of the better dishes
5th Dish: Giant Prawn.. here again, ppl come for this event with their nails nicely done n u wan
them to eat the prawns with their fingers? GeeZ
6th Dish: Stir-fried vege... a very common dish
7th dish: Seafood fried rice.. Wah lou i didnt come jus to eat fried rice
8the Dish: Dessert - CHENDOL! omg somemore it taste so horrible with so much coconut milk
till tats the onli thing i can taste!.

Haiz.. waste my $$ onli.. somemore i paid like $105 for such rubbish. Plus they say got welcome door gift.. but where isit?

Luckily the onli 2 things tats preventing the atmosphere from going dull is the games n the photo takings. Otherwise i think confirm got lots of ppl will leave the room.
After the party which ended like close to 12 midnight, karyin;kim;serene n the others left to catch the last train while me yuwen mei2 plus cuyan n another gal stayed back, thinking of where to go. Many others either left for clubs or pubs since the hotel was situated next to clark quay. With no night movies.. the 5 of us initalli wanted to go for night supper which was frog leg porridge but as i was veri tired so after sending the rest off i went back to the hotel to wait for Glenn to fetch me :)

on our way back... the both of us kept laughing away... y?
2 days ago Glenn injured his right index finger in a freak accident involving the ramp of the tank. He got rushed to NUH, called hm which i picked up, saying wad happen n his alright. I didnt get a clear picture but was damn worried
Mum didnt realise the severity till i told her tat there's a high possibility tat he nids operation. hahas Wah lou she drag me to take the taxi to the hospital. -_-''''.
After we found out where glenn was n the severity of his injury... the both of us had dinner while waiting for the operation to finish.
Abt 1hr later.. he came out of the OT n together we went down to the A/E to collect his medications. Wah lou his finger kenna bandage till it was so big. While glenn had his dinner.. he explained wad happen n stated tat half of his nail came off n together with part of the finger.. it was left dangling.. ~ gross ~. Glenn went back to camp while me n mum went home.

The funny thing tat we were laughing was tat as glenn was driving, he had to point his injured finger up so as he overtake cars... they thought he was pointing the 3rd finger n immediately after being overtaken, they speed up on the other lane to onli realise tat the pointing finger was in a bandage..

!!! HAHAHAHAHA !!!
LOL

2008-03-19T12:33:00.004+05:00

At abt 6.45pm, as mum n other relatives headed down for the cocktail party, myself; Lois n Karmun stayed back to watch the makeup session but we stayed for like 15 mins b4 heading down too... got too bored lah.

The cocktail party was actualli nothing lah.. drinks n snacks were served n it was the time to mingle ard with others.
@ abt 7.45pm, the doors were open for the guest to settle down in their perspective locations. Guess wad i saw on the table... WEDDING TEDDY BEARS! on each individual plates... so damn cute.
The wedding went on with a slide show of the star couples, walking down the aisle, food display, makan time , magic show by 2 old folks (onli the kids were attracted to it) and finalli the yum seng session.
During the makan time, lois ordered red wine, out of curiosity i too asked for it.. hahas turned out to be not bad! ;p

New Hair Colour

2008-02-24T20:52:00.003+05:00

Its been 1 year since i last dyed my hair so after deciding for so long... i decided to dye my hair again.
Went to westmall, initialli wanted to go to my usual hair saloon but saw another hair saloon having discount so thought of trying it lah.

Wah lou eh... so many things happen lor.
Firstly, the hair stylist had an appt so he left the colouring of my hair to another gal but he oreadi did the mixture. So the gal without thinking when ahead to colour lah. Then after colouring 3/4 of my hair, the hair stylist came over n notice the gal didnt mix the mixture well enough so the base colouring was at the bottom.

Secondly, The gal happily wash my hair, do treatment, promote products... then i was wondering how come she didnt highlight my hair... so when the gal was about to blow dry my hair.. i asked her how come didnt highlight... u noe wad she say... " huh nid to highlight arh, i didnt noe leh" wah lou eh.. i was shocked lor. The gal then approach the hair stylist who then said tat he told her to inform him when she colour n wash my hair.. SHE DIDNT LOR. Then the hair stylist found out tat treatment was oreadi done... he was damn mad lor, came over to check my hair then started to do my highlights by himself. Wah lou i was damn angry oreadi lor.

Thirdly, I tot now the hair stylist is going to do my hair so i closed my eyes as i was very tired. Then the next thing i noe was when i open my eyes, i saw the gal going though my hair opening the foil to c the highlight. I asked her wad was she doing... she realised tat i was awake then hurriedly cover everything back...

Luckily the result of my colouring wasnt tat bad but instead of reddish brown.. my hair now is chestnut colour. Make me look like japanese.

This pic doesnt realli show the actualli colour which is much brighter... so jus imagine.
I wont be going back there again... waste my $$ n time. Rather go back to my usual hair saloon Jantzen n pay more.

My First Night Shift (9pm - 7am)

2007-12-05T13:52:00.000+05:00

Jus Woke Up from my slp.. been sleeping since 1030hrs
Came back from work ard 8am... shagged
Hmm actualli Night shift got nothing much to do, kinda boring.
I guess the interesting part is tat nurses get to have our break at the nurses station then those who want to take a nap is fine.
As KKH is pretty dark at night so nurses who want to go down to buy food have to go in groups. Guess tats the onli time when u see the 7eleven quite crowded with nurses.

As for me... initalli i was pretty okie trying to keep awake..Got things to do n have to coax babies to sleep.But it was onli ard 0330hrs when i started to be beri beri sleepy then i cun take it so my preceptor allowed me to take a short nap :p. Then when i went back to work, suddenly got so much to do.

Feel damn sian tat i have to go back to work later in the evening..
Kk gtg now... bought my breakfast n now i'm still Damn tired

Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2007 on 2nd Dec (Sun)

2007-12-04T10:47:00.000+05:00

1st dec (Sat)
Due to the debriefing on the marathon, i had to change my shift to morning. After work, made some arrangements with Kim n ZY to meet @ SIM bus stop 8.45pm.

Debriefing was @ 9pm in school LT 77 & 76. But i miss calculated the time n arrived @ the bus stop 10 mins late hehe so paisei. As i rush up the stairs of the overhead bridge, suddenly kim surprised me hahas i didnt noe tat i was walking nxt to her.. could hardly recognise her =p.
Reached SIM bus stop, saw serene n the rest n as usual Zhang yang will always be eating.

Found out from serene tat i was same team as her... then after taking attendance, everybody had been regrouped n most of the year 3 are alone with the juniors. There was a total of 160 of us lah and we are divided into 3 groups (central, ECP n kallang)
After negotiating with Ms chang n kyile, most year 3 are re grouped again , at least most of us r not alone lah. Myself, Kim n serene were in the same team lah together with two year 1. Kyile made me leader of the team (so suay), saying she wan the most senior member to be team leader ( wah i so old meh -_-''''). My team station is at the junction of Fort Rd n Meyer Rd.
After that there was the distribution on the T-shirt n some goodies..myself, kim, serene, cuyan, jiawen n aisiah went for supper lah which was ard 11+pm , by the time we walked back ard 1am+, time for the debriefing on the route.

Kyile then distributed the First-aid Boxes..
here's a Qns... Wad kind of First-aid help can a first aider provide when we got No First Aid BOX!!!.. Wah lou somemore for my team if realli i nid help, i have to call another station to borrow their kit n each station is at least 1.5km APART!! -_-'''

Onli ard 2.45am then everybody board the bus (2 buses for each group).My team board the first bus lah then initalli i wanted to take a short nap but the juniors were so freaking noisy till i couldnt even slp -_-'''. Reach statium Carpark B ard 3+ to onli find out tat the second bus had to be delayed due to the bus driver made an illegal U-turn n got Summon by Police .
After much delay, finalli every team went to their respective stations, as for my team the station is abit far so got ambulance to fetch us there.
Upon reaching the station, i looked ard n i didnt c any station at all so i asked the driver where is the station, he said got NO station n tat we jus find any area to settle down.
Saw 2 NTU students there so jus sat together lah. As i was freaking sleepy, i jus sat down n fell alsp, For the first time my sleeping area was nxt to a traffic light. By 3.30am, the area was freaking cold..
Woke up ard 5.20am then i decided to stretch abit.. then saw lights coming n then realised tat the marathon had oreadi started. Got everybody up n ready.

Due to the fact tat we dun have any first-aid box, so many participants approached us for help n we got no equipment.. ~ So Embarrassing~
Got one fat guy even asked us for Ventolin/Salbutamol.. i was like huh.. cus this medication is for asthmatic ppl plus the first-aid box also dun have such medication. Then the guy was like " U serious anot" n i replied "Yah realli dun have but if u cannot take it i can call for assistance.. but u have to wait" then of course he cun wait n ran off..
Then ard 10am, one of the NTU student ask me for help as he receive a call from a friend stating tat got 1 participant having chest pain n wan to quit.. coincidently, kim n serene went to the toliet n i cant leave the two year 1 alone plus the participant is located ard the bridge which was quite far from my station. Without a choice i told the NTU guy to call the main hotline for help to sent ambulance lah

The whole day got so many ppl approach us for deep heat cream but onli ard 10+ then got one guy riding the bicycle provided us with 3 tubes.. -_-'' so disorganised lor.

By 12noon , the marathon was going to finish so called ms chang then my team left the place... Time to go home. As the ambulance will take some time to come, we decided to walk back. Come to think of it luckily we dun have the first aid box otherwise have to return it to the headquarters. It took us like abt 45 mins to walk back to the stadium then met kyile n ms chang. From there we took the bus to vivo city n home sweet home

Frankly speaking nxt time if got such event to volunteer as first-aider...
I die die also dun want to participate...
Waste my time , other then providing the deep heat cream, i was like sun tanning n waiting for time to go by -_-'''''''

Here are some pics taken... enjoy.

Year 3 10th Week of Attachment

2007-11-04T19:43:00.000+05:00

Year 3 10th Week Of Attachment

National University Hospital
(Onocology and Haematology/Medical posting)
~Ward 58~

Monday 29.10.07
PM Shift
Went to work freaking early, abt an hour earlier.. crazy me or should i say tat the bus jus happen to arrive earlier.
Hmm for tis whole week me will be in cubicle bed 19-25, working together with Siti. Yeah! :)

Hmm work was as per normal lah jus tat the morning shift didnt do alot of things so the afternoon shift have to do.. hmm for example preparing patient for transfer n patient education. So after my dinner break i was freaking busy.. firstly had to transfer patient then receive admission.

Today got 2 patients require IT.. so DR Lu wei tried to do it lah but failed 3 times then on the 4th time then it was successful.. pity the patient sia..

Speaking of transfering.. makes my blood boil. Wad happen was my cubicle got 2 patients transfering to ward 53 somemore both at the same time so SN kiwi told me to go to the ward first n pass the report which i did lah. U noe wad when i got there, the Staff nurse there REFUSED to receive the report from me n demand tat SN kiwi to pass the case to her. then i told her SN kiwi will be coming shortly but i pass the important stuff first..

Last Day in Ward 58 n NUH

Everybody was morning shift lah cus later in the day nid to go back to skool for the PDA briefing.
Hmm today was kinda busy even though there were so many students.For one of my patients, i noticed there was a small broken skin on the spinal area during showering lah so i told my CI abt it n she guide me to how to order protective sponge for the patient.Then later on in the day while transfering patient from chair to bed, i noticed tat his right foot was PURPLE n Left foot was ReD. Again i told my CI abt it n she told me to call the medical officer dr Sanjay. But i got referred to another MO DR Tan lah.. had to put up circulation chart has the patient's right foot was COLD compared to the other left foot which was warm.

After tat had debriefing lah then Ms Sukhdev was telling us wad happen in ward 57(neuro ward) today.
According to her n the students there lah, @ ard 0745, while taking report one of the patient was vomiiting veri badly n alot of times, Also the patient was beri drowsy. Totalli different as wad they calm the patient to be beri cheerful.So the students called the MO n the consultant abt it, afraid tat patient condition might have deterorated beri drasticalli.Not too sure wad happen, something like the consultant say tat patient is fine n onli to observe.He also ordered STAT stemitil oral but patient kept vomitting so there's no way to feed oralli. Later on in the day something like patient's heart rate was low while blood pressure was high so again they called the consultant but no intervention was done so the staff nurse asked the students to take ECG for the patient, result was abnormal , still the consultant didnt do anything.
After tat i forgot wad happen but something like later there was an urgent CT brain for the patient n result was :

MASSIVE HAEMORRHAGE

n it was so big till patient will never wake up again even though surgery is done... patient has become a vegetable.. the surgery can onli save his life.
Wah lou the moment i heard, was totalli shocked lor.

After bidding goodbye to the ward staff, Me n Tini plus the rest walk out of the ward n towards the lift. For me n tini, it will be the last time tat we will walk along this corridor as from next week onwards the both of us will be working in KKH n will continue to work there for 2 years. Haiz will miss this place badly,plus the food too =p.

Met Daphne n karyin @ 1900hrs in NP lah. Wah so long (10weeks) didnt go back to skool, for some reason everything seems weird. Then met so many friends whom i couldnt recognise after so long, some hairstyle r different blah blah. After tat me,karyin,zhangyang, kimberly n xiuyi went for PRATA! chit chat all the way till it was time to go home. Haiz dunno when will i get to c them again till xmas

~ Ward 58 ~

Well this ward was my first ward posting in NUH during Year one.. n Now its my Last Ward Posting in NUH.. Beri nice ending hor

Monday 22.10.07
8-4pm Shift
Orientation day.. hahas the usual lah. But tis time abit different cus i took my flu medication n i was still having the side effects of the medication.. Was Freaking sleepy n Drowsy lor..Reached NUH bus-stop n jus nice sia.. it started raining -_-'''. Once reached the hospital, got myself 2 slices of pandan cake cus i haven had my breakfast.While waiting for the others, Ms Sukhdev got us to read the incident report from TTSH lah.. hmm medication error.

Once we got to the ward.. Ms Sukhdev appointed Me as grp leader n Junjie as Asst Leader. GreatWah tat place didnt change abit lor.. onli the cubicle n the High.D change.. the others were the same.Some of the staff were still there... but i dun think they remember some of us liao.. except for one sister who remember me lah.. Geezz.
As the CI gave us the orientation in the Day rm.. i was soo tired, somemore the environment was like aircon rm + sofa seat. so yah i fell aslp lah or should i say knocked out (but my CI n sukhdev noe abt my condition). Then tat Idoitic Big Mouth must go n Smack my Arm n say loudly" Eh Jeanette Dun Sleep LEH!"

(Here comes the vulgarities)

KNN ! Wah Lou she lucky i was beri slpy n not in the mood of quarrelling with her.. Crazy sia.. she cannot c tat i SICK ARH! CB sia.. I must explain to her tat i not feeling well n i took the medication tats y i so drowsy THEN SHE Understand arh.. WTF!.

(End of Vulgarities)

After the orientation in the Rm.. We had the ward orientation n then it was break time lah.
Then Of course during break time tat big mouth must continue to PISS ppl off..

..This time it was TiNI..

Wad happen was big mouth ask me which cubicle was i in, then she ask tini which cubicle was she in, Then she must make the comment "Wah like tat the both of u can go break TOGETHER AS USUAL" eh she got prob with me n tini going break together arh. NutCase sia. Like tat i can always say she n Siti always go break together mah..

..She realli dunno how to think b4 speaking..

Me decided to try the malay stall cus heard the stringray is nice.. yah n guess wad, i had stomach ache 5 mins after eating finish. Lao sai lor.. haiz..Seriously hor jeslyn is a real joker.. hahas kept laughing at her jokes. Met Ms Sabrina there wah she wear sister uniform .. can hardly recognise her.
As we reach back the ward, Got to understand my patients abit lah then it was roll call n then report passing.Then Ms Sukhdev had briefing with us b4 our CI wanted to c us again..Guess wad.. jus 15 mins into the talk.. everybody started falling aslp.. hahas serious! then our CI gave us toilet break which some of us didnt go but stayed back to slp on the chair (hehe =p)even ms sukhdev laughed. Then when i woke up.. i saw SWEETS!! hehe we grab them lor.. hahas looks like on the last day must go buy sweets for them. After a super long briefing.. time to go home!

Changed n went to meet mum in KR.. then had early dinner n home sweet home =)

Tuesday 23.10.07
PM Shift (1200-2100)
For some reason i was not used to going to work early. In tis ward the PM Shift is 9hrs lah n AM Shift is 7 hrs..Hmm lets say today the AN for my cubicle is a guy so YiQin is posted to my cubicle lor. SN Ivan was in-charge for PM shift. Eh lets say he was there since i was year one lah hahas dunno whether he rememebers anot.Hmm can say i sitll not able to adapt myself to tis new environment.. prefer ward 44 cus there more systematic unlike tis ward..
Took one case today after Ms Sukhdev scolding haiz initalli didnt wan to lah cus many of the cases here are very complicated with long history so i wanted to find out more abt the patients b4 selecting case..Poor ivan.. have to teach the both of us n do his normal duties. But i've learnt alot of things from him lah.. such as putting up TPN, infusing antibiotic via burette, etc.Hmm other then tat nothing much to say lah jus tat b4 going hm, SN Siti gave us some tips on how to learn more about the patients n passing report.

Haiz today i've become a KAYA making machine(from the nose).Well if anybody noes wad i'm talking about hahas... lets say i've been sick since last friday n i tot my COLD has gotten better.BUT now im producing greenish mucous n tis clogging my nasal airway.Yah beri soon im gonna get Sinusitis. Haiz hahas it sounds disgusting to describe my mucous colour as KAYA but like tat more interesting mah hahas.. fine its super duper ewww hahas =p

Wednesday 24.10.07
PM Shift
Took 2 cases today, was under SN Yelly lah. Hmm nothing much cus both my patients are pretty well. Got confused on how to give SubQ injection.. cus in the ward their method is different from wad i've learnt in skool.. weird.After work mum came to fetch me lah so went to buy some breakfast for tml cus nid to have heavy breakfast mah.

Thursday 25.10.07
AM Shift
Haiz.. sian arh..
Early morning i kenna scolding from ms sukhdev liao.Think she got PMS, for some reason small matter she will keep nagging. Wad happen was tat I was still feeling the side effects of my COLD medications so im still bit drowsy. Then i forgot to put my medicine list in my pocket. Haiz then when she ask me wads the medication for.. i got mixed up with other medication indications. Wah lou like tat she nag n nag n nag -_-''

Again like yesterday i took 2 cases lah n was under SN Yelly. She arh haiz when patient for discharge the medication got prob.. she didnt inform me lor then when i passing report.. she didnt bother to update me then i kenna scolding.
Then nvm, before going for my break i oreadi inform her tat i'll go for my break after passing the IMR(Inpatient medication records) to the Pharmacy.Then when i got back Daphne told me tat sukhdev was looking for me.. haiz when she saw me she ask me y didnt i do the discharging for patient n say i not initiative. wtf How am i suppose to noe tat the pharmacy dispatch the medication so fast, normalli they beri long wad... Plus SN Yelly didnt inform Sukhdev tat i went for break.haiz..

Then again sukhdev will go round informing others about the incident Plus she must list names.. seriously she thinks like tat others will learn but not lor.. wad she's doing is causing the student to lose Pride n Face lor, Most impt wad she's doing is causing us to lose confidence..As a lecturer she should noe how it feels to be a student.If she wants us to learn.. jus dun list the name lah.

~ Its so embarrassing lor ~

No Wonder recently got quite a number of year 3 student nurses quitting.Seriously if i didnt get bonded to KKH.. i'll probably discontinue nursing after graduating even though nid to have 2 years experience then the diploma cert is of use.

Friday 26.10.07
AM Shift
Nothing Much today lah jus tat was super duper busy.. cus both my cases got alot to do, such as booking Bone Marrow Aspiration test (BMA), discharge pt, one of my case got high fever 39.2 degrees so nid to call doctor, nid to stat dose paracetamol, off plug cus of swelling, give IV fortum, prepare the BMA things blah blah lah.Got one pt (not my case lah but i noe the pt) kenna extravasation.. wad happen was pt went for CT abdo Pelvis then when the Contrast dye was injected, pt oreadi complain of pain but the staff there continued to give.. so like tat lor haiz.First time saw how the surgeron perform the procedure.. poke n poke n poke then squeeze the fluid out.
Some of the staff do recognise me n Yiqin as the both of us were there in year one .. for example is SN Norlia, Ivan n Sister.

Hmm i Guess the funny part today was when i was faxing one of the forms to cardiac centre.. the paper got stuck in the fax machine so i panic.. then i saw SN norlia aka Mummy.. so i started calling her "mummy mummy!" then she was like " okie Okie coming coming!".. HAHAs damn funny lor

haiz.. everytime when i performing procedure.. Sukhdev is not ard to c BUT when i not doing anything special she confirm will be ard then nag at me for not being initiative to ask the staff. wtf.Today i wasnt as drowsy as yesterday lah so serve my medications correctly n i noe the indications for all of them wah lou then she didnt c me lor.
Then during the discussion about warfarin, i asked if pt is female n during the course of the warfarin regime pt had mensus wad should we as nurses do?..wad i wanted to ask was BESIDES calling the doctor is there anything tat we should do or check and normalli wad will the doctor order... Wah lou b4 i can finish wad i wanted to say.. she cut in then say its a logical answer to call the doctor then say i should think first. knn sia. After wad she did i simply lost interest in asking her.. wads the point when she dun wan to listen.

Wad Pisssed me so much was tat someone had such a BIG mouth sia. Initalli Ms Sukhdev oreadi approve us to follow the staff timing. But tat Big mouth must go n ask the CLinical instructor on wad is the correct timing to go.. WTF!! I dun give a damn on wad fufil the timing even if we get caught, we can say tat it has been like tat for every student! Idiot sia. Somemore i oreadi told her n her friends NOT To ASK THE CI, But to ask ms suhkdev cus she is the one who will agree to it!. SHIT sia. To them 30 mins means nothing cus their bus comes every 10 mins but not mine lor! once i miss its another 30mins wait!.Haiz.PLus when me n tini when off slightly earlier, sister saw arh. N SHE DIDNT SAY ANYTHING!. ~ Frustrated ~ Becus of wad has happen, now the grp split into 2 sides = 3:6. Try guessing which one is for n against the shift timing.Hate it when one of Them can ask whether did she do anything wrong after noticing the sudden cold shoulder.

SO FAKE!

Friday 12.10.07
AM Shift

Work was like yesterday,jus tat today's case which i took was super troublesome. The Freaking doctor dunno how to write, all his wordings r like worm sia. Then the counsultant n medical Officer (MO) said 2 different procedures to sent the patient down immediately.. wth make me call so many department n kenna nagged -_-'''.Haiz..

It seems hor the BIG MOuth also has an ITCHY MOUth sia!.. according to Jeslyn yesterday they told the BIG mouth not to ask Ms Suhkdev about the shift timing since out CI oreadi approve us on following our lecturer's timing. BUt HOR her ITCHY Mouth went to ask lah! idoit BAKA! NOw Suhkdev say our shift timing will be AM (0700-1500) n PM(1230-2030). SHe Seriously got no brains arh.. dunno how to respect ppl isit! i seriously dun understand y cant she ask the rest of the students' opinion b4 asking!It made my blood boil lor .. I dunno who leader sia!.. Y cant she ask Tini First!.. Its BERI RUDE U NOE!!then when the 3 gals notice that some of us were pretty angry especialli me.. they tot i was like tat cus they didnt go break with me.. LIKE I WAN TO GO BREAK WITH THEM!

QI SI WO LE!

Then another incident was tat b4 me n tini went for our break, we told the Itchy mouth to call tini once the Breast Care nurse has arrive to talk to tini's case. Guess wad as Predicted when both of us came back, Not Onli was the drainage bottle changed, the breast care nurse left liao...

..GEEZ..

The last incident was tat ard 1400hrs my patient blood pressure was freaking high so i had to call the MO n tini help check the Blood pressure to confirm its the correct reading.. but when i wanted to call, tini disappeared without stating how much was it when patient was sitting up. so i had to search the entire ward cus it was urgent. Then when i ask the ITcHY mouth whether she got c tini, she jus walk pass me like im some sort of ghost.. WTF i shouted her name then she reply.. SHE REALLI MUST TEST MY LIMIT.. Cus me to have chest pain onli..

A/E Nurse Pledge
ER nurses are the Top Guns of their profession. In few other
areas do nurses practice with such autonomy & responsibility as they do in
the pitt. They have a reputation for being independent, assertive &
tough.

New ER nurses thinks that the hardest part of the job will be
the rapid pace and the trauma. But those who stayed soon realized that the true
challenge is the human misery. It's wearing. The demands and complaints are
many,and the thank you's are few. It's easy to feel used up.

So, to survive, ER nurses develop a protective shield. They
learn to parcel out caring when needed, but to sace some for the next guy. They
also learned to save a little for themselves

Saturday 22.09.07
Day Shift (1000-1800)

Doctors decided to call off the resus cus if patient is not revive in 20 mins.. considered dead liao. The Case was send to Coroners n doctors then went out to announce the patient's death.

Though i didnt show any expression but i was kinda sad n depressed tat i could not revive the patient n he jus died in front of me.

Twins

? Ever Wondered How Twins come about ?

2 Main ways on How twins are Formed

Identical twins are caused by one egg being fertilized by one sperm. Sometime after fertilization, the egg splits into two genetically identical halves. Identical twins are always of the same sex. They share 100% of their genes, and are in reality, natural clones.

Fraternal twins are formed when two eggs are released by the mother, and each egg is fertilized by a different sperm. Fraternal twins can be of the same or opposite sex. They share up to 50% of their genes, and are no more alike or different than any two siblings would be. It is also possible for fraternals to be of different races or parentage, or to be conceived at different times, resulting in a large weight difference at birth.

But There Are Many Types Of Twins

(1) Conjoined Twins

Conjoined twins are monozygotic multiples that do not fully separate from each other due to the incomplete division of the fertilized ovum. The individuals will be connected at certain points of the body, and may share tissue, organs or limbs.

(2.) Twins Conceived Separately:
SuperfetationNormally when an egg is fertilized, a woman's cycle is interrupted and ovulation ceases. Rarely, however, an egg can be released while a woman is already pregnant, resulting in twins that are conceived at different times.

(3.) Twins with Different Fathers:
Heteropaternal SuperfecundationFraternal (dizygotic) twins are the result of hyperovulation, the release of multiple eggs in a single cycle. Superfecundation describes a situation where the eggs are fertilized by sperm from separate incidences of sexual intercourse. In a case where a woman has sex with different partners, the twins could have different fathers and the apporpriate term is heteropaternal superfecundation.

(4.) "Half Identical" Twins: Polar Body Twins
There are two types of twins, right? Dizygotic (fraternal) twins result when two eggs are fertilied. Monozygotic (identical) twins come from a single fertilized egg that splits.
But what if the egg splits and then each half meets a sperm? That's the proposed theory for polar body or "half-identical" twins, twins who are very much alike but aren't a 100% DNA match. Although it seems to be a reasonable theory, there is no definitive test to confirm polar body twinning.

(5.) Boy/Girl Identical (Monozygotic) Twins
Identical (monozygotic) twins are always same gender because they form from a single zygote that contains either male (XY) or female (XX) sex chromosome. However, there have been a few reported cases of a genetic mutation in male twins where one twin loses an Y chromosome and develops as a female.
The female twin would be afflicted with Turner's Syndrome, characterized by short stature and lack of ovarian development.
Of course, another explanation for gender differences in identical twins is an identical twin who undergoes a sex change operation.

(6. )Mirror Image Twins
Mirror image twins are monozygotic, twint that form from a single fertilized egg. When the split occurs late - more than a week after conception - the twins can develop reverse asymmetric features. This term is not really a type of twin, just an way to describe their physical features.

For example, they may be right- and left-handed, have birthmarks on opposite sides of their body, or have hair whorls that swirl in opposite directions. In theory, if the twins faced each other, they would appear to be exact reflections of each other.

(7. )Parasitic Twins
A type of conjoined tiwns that develops asymmetrically, with a smaller, less formed twin dependent on the stronger, larger twin.
A variation of parasitic twinning is fetus in fetu, where an abnormally formed mass of cells grows inside the body of its monozygotic twin. It survives during pregnancy, and even occasionally after birth, by tapping directly into the blood supply of the host twin.

This report describes an Indian man whose fetus in fetu was discovered as an adult.

(8.) Semi-Identical Twins
A type of twinning identified in a pair of three-year-old twins in 2007. Described as identical on the mother's side but sharing only half their father's genes, the rare twins developed when two sperm fertilized a single egg, which then split. One twin is a being raised as a female, with both testicular and ovarian structures, while the other is anatomically male.

(9.) Twins with Different Birthdays
The most common explanation is a labor and delivery that begins before midnight on one day and ends after the clock changes to the next day. If that day happens at the end of the month, or even on New Year's Eve/Day, the two babies can have birthdays in different months and even different years!
Also, sometimes a pregnancy is prolonged to provide each baby with an optimal chance for survival. If preterm labor forces the delivery of one baby, doctors can successfully control the abor and delay delivery to give the other baby more time in the womb. Twins and higher multiples have been born days and even weeks apart.

(10). Twins of Different Races
Heteropaternal superfecundation can explain cases of fraternal (dizygotic) twins with differing racial characteristics. In one case, the differentiation was due to a lab mix-up during an in-vitro procedure.

However, in 2005 in the United Kingdom, two bi-racial parents conceived fraternal (dizygotic) twin girl twins, Kian and Remee Hodgson. Described as a "one in a million" occurrence, experts explain that the girls inherited different genetic characteristics from their mixed race parents. One is fair-haired and light skinned, while the other has dark hair, eyes and skin.

One Litre Of Tears

Aka １リットルの涙

(Ichi Rittoru no Namida)

Have you Watch this Show?..

If you have Not... I suggest you do cus its a wonderful drama.

Synopsis of show (from wikipedia)

15-year-old Ikeuchi Aya was an ordinary girl, the daughter of a family who works at a tofu shop, and a soon-to-be high schooler.

However, odd things have been happening to Aya lately. She has been falling down often and walks strange. Her mother, Shioka, takes Aya to see the doctor, and he informs Shioka that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration - a terrible disease where the cerebellum of the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat. A cruel disease, as it does not affect the mind in the least. How will Aya react when told about her disease? And how will Aya live from now on?

This beautifully moving drama is based on the real-life struggles of a 15-year-old girl named Kito Aya who suffered from an incurable disease, but lived life to the fullest until her death at 25. The script is based on the diary Aya kept writing until she could no longer hold a pen. The book that later followed entitled “One Litre of Tears" has sold over 1.1 million copies in Japan alone.Aya's only wish was “to live." By carefully depicting Aya's earnest desire to live, and the love of her family, friends, and lover, the drama, “One Litre of Tears" wishes to deliver her simple but strong message: “Just being alive is such a lovely and wonderful thing." ---Fuji TV

Cast

Erika Sawajiri - Aya Ikeuchi
Hiroko Yakushimaru - Shioka Ikeuchi (Aya's mother)
Ryō Nishikido - Haruto Asō (Aya's later love interest and her lover)
Takanori Jinnai - Mizuo Ikeuchi (Aya's father)
Riko Narumi - Ako Ikeuchi (Aya's little sister)
Naohito Fujiki - Hiroshi Mizuno (Doctor)

Yuma Sanada - Hiroki Ikeuchi (Aya's little brother)
Ani Miyoshi - Rika Ikeuchi (Aya's littlest sister)

Special episode
On April 5, 2007, Fuji Television aired a three hour special of the series set half a year after Aya's death and focuses on Haruto Asō, who has now become a doctor at the same hospital Aya was treated in and Ako Ikeuchi, Aya's younger sister who is a training nurse. Haruto meets a 14 year old female patient, who also suffers from Spinocerebellar Degeneration, but has lost her will of living. It reminds Haruto of how Aya fought her illness and lived her life with her condition and he supports the patient. Aya reappears in the episode using a number of flashbacks from the series and in new scenes.[1]

Kito Aya Original Book

English Translation of Book: http://www.xanga.com/onelitre

Did Some Research on this Diagnosis..

its one is the group name which

Spinocerebullar degeneration/ Atrophy

or Ataxias and Cerebellar

belongs to

Spinal Muscle Atrophy

(SMA)

What ?

SMA refers to a group of diseases which affect the motor neurons of the spinal cord and brain stem.

These critically important cells are responsible for supplying electrical and chemical messages to muscle cells.

Without the proper input from the motor neurons, muscle cells can not function properly. The muscle cells will, therefore, become much smaller (atrophy) and will produce symptoms of muscle weakness. There are dozens of diseases which affect the motor neuron. (FightSMA. 2007)

Pathophysiology

Degeneration and death of the motor neurons (also called Anterior Horn Cells) in the brain stem and spinal cord produces weakness in the muscles of swallowing, breathing, and limbs.

Affects people from infant to adulthood.(FightSMA.2007)

Recent Research

Recent advances in our understanding of the genetics of this disorder confirm that the majority of children and adults afflicted with SMA, have inherited this disorder by receiving one gene from both their mother and their father.

This is termed autosomal recessive genetic transmission.(FightSMA.2007)

There are 4 types of SMA

Type One ~ Drs. Werdnig and Hoffman/Werdnig-Hoffman Disease

Type Two ~ SMA Type II

Type Three ~ SMA Type III

Type Four ~ SMA-TYPE IV ( Only occur in Adults)

~ FactSheet ~

(FightSMA.2007)

SMA kills more babies than any other genetic disease.

SMA is incurable, untreatable, fatal, and underfunded. (only can treat the underlying symptoms)

The gene is carried by seven million potential parents, unknowingly.

SMA is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the dramatic loss of spinal motor neurons, resulting in muscle weakness, atrophy, and in the worst cases, the loss of ability to swallow and breathe. The mind remains unaffected, while the muscles waste away.

SMA presents in a broad clinical spectrum and is classified into three types based on disease severity: type I, type II, and type III. Approximately 65% of all new SMA patients are type I severe or type II.

SMA occurs when a vital gene ("survivor motor neuron" gene or "SMN") is deleted or mutated, preventing the creation of a protein necessary for muscle strength. A second, nearly identical copy gene, SMN2, is present in all SMA patients. SMA disease severity correlates inversely with increased SMN2 gene copy numbers

Signs & Symptoms

Swallowing : Difficulty in chewing leads to Pneumonia , Aspirations, Weight Loss and Dehydration

Arm & Leg Weakness: Progressive weakness and immobility of the arms and legs leads to orthopedic problems including tightness of the joints (contractures)

Mobility: At first, loss of balance n disturbance of Gait. Patient has high tendency of falling.Then patient is unable to move limbs so he/she will be confine in a wheelchair

Vision: Rapid, rhythmic, involuntary movements of the eye (nystagmus) causing Blurness

Respiratory: Shortness Of Breath..

Speech: Dysarthria (slowness and slurring of speech)

Your friends can count on you to do a favor, remember a birthday, or just be there to listen.

Your friends need you most when: They can't turn to anyone else

After the Roll-off.. went to play arcade for awhile (me, huiyi,xiong,andrea & edwin).. put the balls in the car then went off... i guess the interesting part was i actualli played the Para thing.. but hahas i played it with Hui Yi lah. Both of us totalli have no clue on how the machine works so yah.. we look like idoits busy waving our arms.. laughing away

That's Me & Hui yi

After tat ard 5.10 plus me sent hui yi home then went to fetch mum from work.. then off to raffles city where mum took the car back while i went to meet xiong n the rest... today celebrate his 21st b'dae..
Felt pretty bad not bring his gift lah.. didnt noe he was going to celebrate today.. so yah went to eat @ ding tai feng..

After tat went to suntec to play arcade .Along the way there.. stop to buy watch (me xiong n ming got one each)..then had drinks @ the starbucks .. didnt drink cus coffee can affect my leg condition ~ uric acid..
Then after tat went to ks put ball then andrea sent me home lor

Jus wanna say to xiong..

There was tis BMW with a korean number plate.. hahas cool isit =p

We were to seat @ the Blue Sector.. N the place was freaking HOT... omg onli made me feel worse. As today is onli a rehearsal... confirm things tat i'm gonna c will not be the best but at least i noe wads going on. The Event started ard 5pm+ with the Hosts coming to the stage from a boat... i onli remember 2 host which is i think Belinda & Annabell Francis.

The temperature didnt cool off till like 6.30pm.. so yah.. i was like going to faint any moment.. n da host were like trying to get us to do the MARINA WAVE.. -_-''' unfortunately it was unsuccessful.. In the beginning there were singings n dances but hor i started to c mistakes made... one girl forgot her dance steps n was like standing there for quite some time b4 dancing .. hahas. As the beginning was so boring.. i started to take pics lah
I guess the interesting part started when the Red Lions came down bah... tat drew the crowd attention to the sky immediately.

After that it was the Marching in of the uniformed groups. The picture below actualli shows NDP ' 07

After tat there was the songs n the ministers coming in.. but since it was onli a rehearsal... the ministers plus the president didnt come so jus to practice.. there were guys going on stage, taking on the role of the minister BUT holding the paper with the role they were playing... for example SM. The Funny thing was tat they got young guys to play so it was like for example SM ~ a young man... hahas. At first most of us actualli tot tat the real ones were coming but when we found out... all of us were laughing. There were some who actualli wave at the 'ministers'.. hahas.

Then We had our national Antherm, n then helicopters flew pass carrying the big singapore flag... damn cool.

Once the antherm finish... 3 F16 planes flew pass.. but becos it was SOO DAMN LOUD.. i had no choice but to cover my ears instead of taking pictures.. Nearly went deaf. After tat there were 5 planes which made a pattern..
Then the soldiers started to move again.. this time they formed the word NS 40.. tis year national service celebrating its 40th anniversary mah. After tat it was the usual lah.. got firing of blank round n the guys shot the cannon too.. But Hor they place the cannon jus next to the benjamin sheares bridge n when they fire... the sound was soo loud tat cars driving pass had to slow down... Jus imagine u driving half way suddenly got tis loud BANG..scary

After tat the guys on stage marched off... then suddenly got many armed army guys came running from the top.. then once taking their position.. they pose in threes.. So Cool.

After tat the army displayed their latest weapons n vehicles (Land, Air & Water).. First was the Chenok.. came down so close to the water, thus creating tis tornado like mist..

After tat there were the Apachi (Air) Some Petrol boats (water) , Speed cruisers (water), Rhino (Land) Riot Van (Land)n Vehicles or special forces.. As most people were looking down, there were some pointing up into the sky.. so i look up lor KPO lor hahas... Guess wad.. it was a passenger plane flying on top n ppl were saying there's one more plane hahahas

Once it was done, the various vehicles have went back, i saw this Bird Like Cloud, so i decided to take a picture of it.. Unexpectedly there was a small firework...hahas Hao Qiao.. i caught it in the picture too... Luckly me =p

Then the evening show started.. this year theme was regarding the elements i think.. first performance was abt water creatures. There were Jelly Fish Like balls Pulled by those army boats.. thus making as if the jelly fish were realli swimming.

The Cute thing about this performance was those kids dressed as starfish n Snail. Becos the suit is so big.. so as they ran to n across the stage... they look like baby penguins runnning around

The Second performance was by the malay culture... i think it was about land... the costumes were mostly gold n they had one of their display brought to n off stage by boat... Damn CooL.

The third performance was about Fire... And also about animals. There were flames thrown, fire sparkers on poles, Performers with sticks tat had fire at both ends. There were animal shape instruments brought on stageby people through a bridge on water.. it looks as if the animals cross tis river jus to get to the stage..

The Pic Below is the night shot of the CBD.

In the Fourth Performance, Many Young Ballerinas came running on stage.. Plus their costumes were lit with light bulbs.. so when the lights were off... it was beautiful. The Fifth one was abt scissors... the performers had scissors like shape on the back of them. After tat the lights went off again.. this time there were remote controlled kites flying around.. Plus they had lights on it making them look like they were fireflies ... Spectacular.. :)

Then it was the closing part.. all the performers went on stage creating a very colourful scene.

Here's the fuuny part, Firstly there were many kites actualli flew into the water n then disappear (tat thing is very expensive!!). Then Remember those starfish n snails i mentioned earlier... as they again were running onto the stage.. apparently the front ppl stop suddenly so those behind couldnt stop in time.. then tose kids were like banging into each other's back.. BUT the cute thing was.. those right at the back could stop in time.. but they saw it as quite fun so they purposely ran n bang into the front person.. hahas..

As the Show ended.. the performers were celebrating.. then suddenly their co-ordinator told them to stay back as there were many mistakes.. hahas.

Seeing such things brings back memories of my performance in NDP 2001.. Realli miss performing for NDP.. But I'll Never miss getting sick of KFC during those times hahas ( all performers were provided with KFC for dinner thoughout the whole preparation n practicing mah)

While Waiting for my second bro.. i decided to take self pic.. then after taking i realise i was jus infront of the oriental hotel hahas.

My aunt n Cousin went off first then mum n me went to marina square for toilet break then bought dinner Plus Secret recipe cakes.. after tat went back to the car (bro was waiting there.. hahas he actualli drove the car in his boots)then home...
