budak pantai
2nd day working at jurong island ambulance post. switched to a post near the mainland, cos that's where the ambulances are placed.

my favorite part of the morning is the lorry ride, cos it somehow reminds me of those old world war 2 movies, where the soldiers would be boarding those big lorries, while they chew gum, smoke cigarettes and just look at each other, waiting to jump down from the lorry and start shooting people. haha

i like the ride cos it's open air, and i can just see the sun rise and the factories in boon lay.

finally know my ROTA. im in Rota 2, and i have to work wednesday and thursday night, 8pm to 8am. i also have to work with this paramedic whom everybody says is kinda grumpy and likes to nag. ah well *shrugs*

the ambulance post i am stationed in is rather cosy, with bunks. and i think the toilet is haunted. nyahaha! im not lying. kinda scary tale to tell. tml night shift some more. oh my tian! haha. the food there is expensive, which means i can jian fei too!

today had 2 cases that i remember.

1 trauma case near boon lay industrial estate (my post covers the whole boon lay and tuas areas, and sometimes even to Vivo). multiple fractures

1 case of collapse. but alpha 121 managed to reach before us, so had to u-turn

it's funny, cos everytime i go to MSN, my other medic friends will be like, comparing cases;

" how? got see blood today? "

" no leh. trauma only nia "

its' almost like comparing trading cards. scary sense of humor

my friend and i suggested, to pass time, we play shift chess, where we would play chess against one another, but the catch is, you can only move your piece during your shift. so basically, it will take 2 days for each of us to reply to the other's moves, cos when im off day, he's on duty. i think ORD also we won't be finished playing. lol

i want to watch "PS i love you". it's the movie adaptation from the book with the same name, written by cecilia ahern. i also want to read "Love in the time of Cholera". Lol

it's not easy, to keep it all together and just stop trying
