How To Drink A Sukao?

While I was looking through my pictures folders, I came across this video that was meant to be posted up long time ago.

Just in case if you are wondering, Bean is starring in this video. =)

It was video-ed few months back when he was here in Melbourne for holiday. I brought him to Max Brenner to try out some hot chocolate. And of course I didn't bring him there to try some common hot chocolate that you drink from a normal cup.

'You taking video??? Cannot be too big file!'

Gee... you stir faster la! -_-

Egg Bombing

A few days ago, I boiled an egg and it was actually meant for dinner. But then my friend called and I had no choice but to chuck the boiled egg back into the fridge.

Today, I took the egg out from the fridge for lunch. I peeled the shell off and of course I wasn't planning to eat a hard boiled cold egg. I was so clever, I chucked the boiled egg into the microwave to reheat my egg.

Guess what...

The whole egg EXPLODED.

Damn. I thought I was smart.

The Amazing Race Asia

Do you get the adrenaline rush by watching Amazing Race? I do. I just finished watching the first episode of season 3 The Amazing Race Asia. Oh my god... I screamed at the laptop screen because the groups were picking tougher detours. Clenched my fists when groups were rushing to the pit stop. Seriously! Who ever does that man? Silly me.

The Amazing Race has been my all time favourite reality tv show. My high school friends and I have always dream to participate it. Now that The Amazing Race Asia recruits Malaysians as participants, I couldn't help it but to bring it up to Bean and asked him casually about participating.

Me: Baby!!! Let's join the Amazing Race!
Bean: Huh? We are gonna break up!

My first reaction was... WHAT??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But in my heart, I couldn't agree more.

The fact that I am such an impatient person and he is such a patient person.
The fact that I flare up easily in nerve wrecking situation and he is as calm as how the tortoise moves.
The fact that he is the 'calm before the storm' and I am the 'storm' itself.

Oh well... I believe in opposite attracts.

P/S: New Year's Eve has planned out. Bean and I are spending the night watching Mammia Mia Musical at Istana Budaya. Weeee...

A Day In Emergency Department

Work started an hour earlier because I was scheduled to be in the emergency department for a day. I walked passed the entry of the emergency department where all the ambulances parked. It looked a bit quiet and truthfully, I was a bit disappointed. Fine... I admit that I was a bit mean because I wanted to have a chance to experience everything in just merely eight hours that I would be there.



After greeted by our emergency department pharmacist, we went for hand-over meeting in the emergency department where the night shift doctors and nurses hand over their patients to the next shift. It sounded exactly like what I watched in Grey's Anatomy. Doctor explained, '45 year old woman suffering from head trauma...bla bla bla...' Anyway... the meeting wasn't really that interesting. But too my surprise, it was a damn busy day. All the beds were filled up!! Weeee....

So... what kind of patients did I meet?

1. My morning started with knowing a patient who had a suicidal attempt by swallowing HALF a litre of hydrochloric acid. The whole emergency department was talking about how could she swallow so much of it. The smell of the hydrochloric acid is so damn pungent! When she entered the hospital, she was bleeding through every orifice of her body surface. Apparently, the whole floor was dripped with blood. I did not manage to see the patient. Sadly, I heard she passed away at 12 noon. =(

2. After learning this term god knows how many times, I finally see what seizures are in epileptic patients.

3. I heard of a man who was having alcohol withdrawal in the hand-over meeting. I passed by this bed where the guy was flushing and shivering. Wonder if he was the one the doctors were talking about?

4. Haha... I saw this typical patient screaming for pain killers and swearing, 'WHERE IS THE NURSE WITH MY PAIN KILLERS!!!!!'. No one paid attention to him. =P

5. Oh oh... there was this patient who was singing in his sleep!

6. I witnessed the most traumatised event at the end of the day.

My pharmacist: Have you guys seen resuscitation?
Me: No...
My pharmacist: Pop ur head in there...



And I saw the doctor standing above the patient pumping hardly on his chest trying to resuscitate him. It honestly did not look as good as what you see in tv. My heart was weaken when I witnessed that. I could hear every single strong pump. I was worried and shocked at the same time. All I wanted was for the patient to be okay... I could not manage to see the end result because I was shooed off.

Interesting day but I was facing too many deaths in day.

Appreciate life.

seizures: jerky movements that a person cannot control
orifice: any opening of a body
resuscitate: to bring back to life
