Here's a good example on how Dads nowadays communicate to their Daughters secretly regarding $$$ via emails:

Aha! I look over your empty saving account of POSB. Very sad that you are as poor as your Church's mouse! Chee, Chee, Chee, in-and-out tiny holes all along trying to steal leftover biscuits but to no avail because all places are cleaned. If you perchance U sometime lucky finding edibles do not eat them in one day. Try to save it for another raining day my little rat!! So many years elapsed, you have only fed your father's gorilla with only a green note of five multiplied by ten. It is this small sum you can spare so far? I am deeply ashamed of your altitude! 'Koh Yeow Tong

Well, first of all, he obviously checked my account nearing to my pay-day. Next, POSB is my daily spending! Therefore, all my savings are with the other two banks. Lastly, I only give my mum a small token of allowances as dad is earning x3 my salary.

But, hey! the rat had extra SGD500 bucks in her account from her gorilla dad after that email!

Euphoric-is the word! Interview today with A.Liew and the HR team was successful. I've asked for PD Nurse post reason being:

Having to work closely with Renal patients for the past 2 years inspired me further in my career path that is to pick up specific skills and knowledge pertaining to patients on peritoneal dialysis in which I desire to be the helping pair of 'kidneys' in terms of 'hands' to assist individuals to lead a normal life.

He wants me to do adv diploma (Ok) and also consider being an APN (no thanks) next time. Dr Liew ended the interview by saying 'I will ask Sharon (HR manager) to call you once we sort out the papers'. ;D

Hope to say good-bye to the ward asap because I feel that we are being over-worked and under-appreciated by the sisters and even the patients.

She wants ROM in chjimes.
He wants dinner at fullerton hotel which he said wedding is a once in a life-time.
He wants me to have the best wedding.
We both want it to be on 051111 (Sat)-our 4th year anniversary.

Faith kept me going. I trusted his words and promises. I knew God would never forsaken me. I kept believing that he created unpleasant situations for me so that I could be a stronger and more matured person even though I did repeating asked you of all people why me?

medication error-why me? I'm a near-zero mistakes RN.

not promoted-why me again? I'm used to be a B-grader.

tumour-why its me? I'm healthy.

double sales housing-why us? We are the first time buyers.

Neverthless, I stayed focused at work and in school. Praise the Lord as I just recieve a call from HR this afternoon asking for an interview next wednesday with Dr A. Liew regarding my transfer! I was being short-listed 4 days after I sent in the form!

My next silver lining next wednesday: Prays hard-Amen.

I will be still and know You are God'

School started. In fact, I didnt even realised that I'm still studying! Oops. Missed the first class due to my op. Well, you can't ask me to attend school with a drain coming out from my neck right? Last subject with no exam papers-purely assignments! Nice timing to complete my degree by Nov'09 and s-l-o-w-l-y start focusing on the wedding preparations.

My current to-do list at the moment:

~~Go for a express pedicure by this week.~~
~~Watch G.I.Joe & Up with Ah Tan.~~
~~Eat meatballs+Look for ideas at Ikea with Ah Tan this weekend.~~
~~Zoo-ing with Ah Tan.~~

Grow my hair even longer for end of year digital perm.
Scout/Save $ for the Levi Lady's Style spectacles frame.
Save $ for the wedding (but the above mentioned are necessary for me).

Yesterday STO done. The MO refused to wash my right ear and extend my HL. Asked me to come back next week to get my ear done. FINE. So, I text the consultant and complained! He replied me stating to meet him in the clinic today at 12noon.

After arriving to Clinic 1B, I text him again to let him know that I'm there. I didnt know that it turned out to be a consultation! He went to every room to look for an empty slot so that he could examine me. Eyes were on me as in how on earth without a Q number I was able to see a doctor?! From there, we hopped into a MO's room and Dr Jeeve digged my ear wax out which the dumb MO yesterday gave me lots of stupid excuses for not doing it! And, plus an extended HL by 1 more week. :D

Going back for review again next friday. I'm so going to buy Royce and a Thank You card for such a nice Dr!

As I said, my silver linings are here! First of all, my op was successful.

Next, we won the case regarding the property! On my POD 1 (post-op day), they called Ah Tan and said the management was agreeable to our stated sum of SGD560K (Usual Price: 633K) for our 5rm condo-like HDB flat! Praise the Lord! Wow, by the age of 22, I'm already co-owning a property. Thank you to my motherly lawyer Carol for all the letter writings and to my mummy for topping up the last 10k and daddy for the 5% house deposit gift! :D

Perhaps, you people could switch to buying Courts/Best Denki/Gain City/NTUC vouchers for me after year 2009 but before the year 2011 as my bday or xmas gifts. LOL.

Therefore, we have to start planning from the pets that I want to the bridal shops to the venue and date for the ROM (most likely at Chijmes) to the hotel for the dinner and to the wedding bands and Yes, I need to start flipping through home design magazines for ideas!

Regarding my transfer, I hope I will get it! Amen! :)))

I had my benign tumour over at the right salivary gland removed on 27 July' 09 which was scheduled early in the morning at +- 0930HRs. So, naturally, the day before it, I wasnt paying much attention at work (eager to go on a long holiday break!). Managed to fall into deep sleep the night prior to op because I stayed up the whole of evening trying to decide between the Omina II or the Iphone 3Gs. Nevermind, I've already set my mind on the Iphone 3Gs 16GB Black colour model once it is up for grabs. Before I could even prepare myself mentally for the op, monday morning came and greeted me right in my face with those bothersome sun-lights.

"Oh well, D-day for me," I said to myself as I was getting ready.

After changing again into the OT gown, this time for sure I knew there wont be any cancellation for the op as I was swine'flu-free. The OT nurse came and asked the same old boring checklist questions and after replying her with the usual 'Yes, Correct', she pushed my trolley bed into the OT room. Suffering from slight visual impairment without my visual aids, it instantly added on to my anxiety as I was trying hard to figure out who's the scrub nurse or the anesthetist were.

"Hi there, I'm Dr Tan, your anesthetist. Is this your first time under GA?" she asked while flipping through my medical records.

"Erm, Yes! Very FIRST!" I replied not knowing that my finger was actually scratching involuntarily against the white thick blanket.

"Dont worry about it, you'll just fall into a deep sleep," she assured me while preparing the IV cannulation set. "First of all, I will give you some pain-killers to your left hand in which after, I will insert the plug in for you."

"Alright..." I mumbled to myself as I squeezed my eyes shut!

The plug was sitting nicely in my vein but I was still very nervous till the anesthetist could pick up the signs and symptoms of my anxiety and came over to jab me with something 100X stronger than atarax 25mg or rather 10000X more powerful than the common piriton! Immediately, the drug took effect and there I was quietly resting in my trolley bed awaiting for dreamland.

They came and transfered me to the cold hard shiny metal table and surprisingly, I felt too drowsy to even take in simple instructions such as 'Inhale in deeply' or to even say a simple prayer. After three deep inhalations, my mind went into a complete pain-free and blank status. (God only knows what the surgeons were up to!)

The operation took hours and longer than expected due to the fact that the tumour was hiding away from the surgical blades. However, it seemed to me that the procedure only took a short while before I regained my full consciusness and realized that the day was almost approaching evening.

"Staff...staff! I need zofran now!" My voice was hoarse due to the intubation while my air-filled stomach begun to churn which made me felt nauseated.

"Ok I will go in and check with the Dr first," the PACU nurse replied and came back within minutes with a syringe filled with clear fluids. "There you are, your medicine for the stomach."

Everyting was in a daze except that I remembered the constant pressure on my right arm which was meant to monitor my vital signs and I would be warded in level 12 for the next few days. A nurse and the porter arrived shortly and the way up to the ward was familiar as I decided to rest my eyes and visualised my way up to Bed 38.

"Oh yay! An electronic bed!" I smiled weakly to myself. "I can adjust the bed whenever I wish to without having to press the call-bell."

Mr Tan came with my huge gym-bag hanged over his right shoulder looking half eager and half anxious to see me. He told he was so worried when there wasn't any calls from the hospital telling him that I'm in recovery room until about 4pm.

Dr Jeeve, my ENT surgeon appeared almost immediately by my bed-side and was looking satisfied while he spoke to both of us about the operation.

"The tumour didn't turn out to be that superficial," he said. "It was more than 5cm by 5cm larger and was hiding deeper, therefore, we ended up having the need to remove the majority of the gland."

"Ah...I see...No wonder the procedure took so long!" I tried my best to reply but my vocal cords were still too dry to produce quality sounds.

"Now, give me your best smile? And, puff up your cheeks? Lastly, closed your eyes tightly!" he instructed.

The mini exercise was meant to check my facial nerves and I was glad that I was able to perform without any difficulties. After the surgeon left, I felt so irritated with myself especially with the lost of voice and the churning stomach and the generalized weakness.

"Can you take my phone out? Call my mum please? Give me a plastic bag? Buy me sweets from downstairs please? Put my locker nearer to me please? Get me a straw for my water please? Bring me higher please?" I told my boyfriend without actually giving him ample time to complete each small task.

Suddenly, it reminded me of Nekmah in my ward! The way she always and consistently kept on pressing the call-bell for the exact small unimportant things from the nurses. What a pain in the neck she was. Finally, it made me understood why was she acting in that way because I had been in her shoes as a patient before. I promised myself to be a more patience nurse next time irregardless of the countless call-bells.

To all out there, Happy Nurses Day.

p.s: My drain was off on friday and I'm currently resting happily at home with my cats. Thank You everyone for the prayers, visits and gifts! :)))

indeed this yr is filled with cock-ups. aft changing into the OT gown, the anesthetist from OT came down and enquired about my URTI and said that I had to postpone my surgery to 3 weeks later as there was risk for airway complications during GA. In my mind I was like 'HUH? Sians~ Not another day of MC again!'. Oh well, food never tasted that good before after the nurse declared i was off NBM! Somehow, the picture of a big fat cow kept on flashing in my mind!

Will be attending court on the 16th July. The lawyer asked to bring my mother-in-law and Mrs Koh Y.T if available. I'm curious as in how about the dads? Just hope that on that day, the judge will be on our side of the case. Amen!

Op day is changed to 27th July.

where is my silver lining for this year? hellOoo? is it really due to the cursed bunny year? w.e.f today onwards, i am going to give the ward Crappy work attitude since they have rated my half a yr of work as C'ompetent. As they said, I've gained (my degree) something and lost something which is true because I valued education more than career in which papers will definitely get you further. So, Masters any takers? Oh well, can't wait to obtain my degree at the end of this year (1 more subject to go!) and kiss good-bye to the ward to either KTP hospital or Renal Unit.

yes im back. been a while or rather a LONG while that i didnt update this blog.

resumed work last dec. unfortunately, encountered a PRS case which caused me to be in much distress. nevertheless, i've overcame it with the help of my really supportive ward staffs (thanks i heart u ppl!)

been and back from KL just 2 weeks ago with david and belle. it was a short and relaxing trip filled with laughters, gossiping and lots of caffeines!

oh, so I thought that I am going to be an owner of ParkCentral @ AMK last wednesday, got an unexpected call from the developer today after paying 5% deposit which cost 27k! therefore, i am truly sorry that i needed to resort to engage a lawyer to sue you people for double sales!

Me: hi im Mr ytKoh's daughter. im srry, this is really urgent n i ned you advice. we have already paid 5% deposit and signed the 'option to purchase' agreement last week and now, they called and said the unit have been sold earlier on to someone elses and they have forgotten to update in the system!...

(they offered 5rm at the same budget but its at the 10th floor; didnt bother to give us another unit at a discounted rate; even ask us to forget about legal ways as it involves money but hey my lawyer's fees going to be FOC! :P)

Lawyer: (after faxing over the OTP to her office) oh NO they are going to be in deep troubles! i will send you a draft letter and from there, we see if they can offer you a better unit at the same rate if not, i can bring this matter up to the higher authority...

From there, we kept on laughing and laughing at such a thing would ever happened!

i've planned to demand either a 5rm (since there's no more 4rms left) from 18th-22th floor for the same price (normal selling price is min 630k for 5rm) or up to 200k compensation. oops. lols.
