hahahs. well yeahs. the stamp speaks for the entry. so as the schedule goes, im posted at IMH ward 54B for two weeks, starting yesterday. and i gotta say, so far so good. in fact, evrything's going great. altho things were a lil tense since twas the furst time we ever had a reason for stepping into the hospital. hahahs. frankly speaking, it feels so alienating. cus u cant help but turn ur back after every few steps just in case someone comes from the back and knock u straight out. paranoia, i noe. but c'mon.. u'd haf done the same too riiight! so it was all about orientation, hospital tour blahblahblah. ms julajulibintangtujuh specially emphasized on the importance of this posting for those who are gonna take up psychiatric studies in the coming term. ahhhhhs. i think im gonna stick to my choice and make a pass on oncology. perhaps perhaps perhaps. i might consider switching over to IMH after the two years bond at AH is done and over wid. we'll see how it trns out yeahs?and dealing wid mental patients in the future sure as hell aint gonna be as scary as it used to be. in the past, we'd always be like, on our guard 24/7 waiting for them to do sumthing life-threatening. but of cuus, thats mostly exaggeraton on our part. afterall, they are but normal people wid a loose wire sumwhere. come to think of it, they are prolly the nicer people around. and i cant help but feel impressed and awed, just by looking at the way they get things done. WITHOUT COMPLAINING. while most typical singaporeans wud create sucha big fuss over people cutting queues, especially those bloody kiasus, they wud simply give that selamba look even tho i bet they were starving like idk whud. and when u call their names and tell them to help out, they wud.. without as much as a groan or a TSK. some even helpfully volunteered to feed and groom and push the fellow inmates back to the bed. cant help but go awwwww. realli, they ARE a bunchas sweet people afterall.
but of cus they haf their own stories to share(like Simon), stories they keep repeating over and over again. just for laughs, i slot in the dialogues that'd come next just to annoy them. hahahahs. they HARDLY get angry. BUUUT. when it comes to playing games, they tend to get a lil too hyperactive. especially when its Snakes&Ladders, chess and poker cards! im telling you, they'd bug you to haf another round, and another, and another till ur head goes laaalaaa. and some of them are reaaaal good. -____- suucha shame for us kaaans. hahahas. but at times it makes u feel like sitting there all day and kip on playing just to see that smile on their faces. at least i got Pakcik Kassim to win that round of Taitee which got him doubling wid laughter and grinning like a ceshire cat! and for that, i earned the number-i-dun-know-how-many Hi-5!
ouh yeahs btw, that pakcik happens to be both deaf and mute. but hey, we can communicate well ouhkayyye~
=) im pretty sure this posting's gonna be a memorable one. hopefully it does. and the staffs are nice too. just the food, so unappetizing. hmmms. gotta come up wid a few structured activities. manyak pikiran horrr. bleaahs. am feeling kinda drained from the journey to and from hougang. think im gonna get sum shut-eye for a while. doubt we'll be miting up. allryte, im beat.. so im off!
So play the game until you run out.. And play the game into my head...
