A Singaporean girl who graduated from a Medical College in the UK and currently working as a doctor, spending most of my years abroad burying myself amongst medical books, speaking Queen's English and trying to adapt to life in Britain. But I still remain a true blue Singaporean who loves my plate of char kway teow and enjoys the sense of closeness when speaking "Singlish" to my fellow countrymen. Why "The Chinese Doctor"? Because that's what my patients call me since they don't know my name!

Back from hospital

Before I begin, I want to thank Clayton...heez. Thanks for calling me to help me kill my boredom in hospital last night. Thanks for all the crappy stuffs we talked about...

It was a night's stay at the hospital yesterday. Got sent in by an ambulance when I fainted at home. I was very ill for the past few days, and got really worked up that I told Mum about how unhappy I am about her not bothering about me, but just making helluva noise by nagging the moment she sees me. She was arguing her way (as usual), and perhaps, she started feeling guilty about it, and hence, asked me to go sleep in her room so that Dad and her can watch over me the night before last.

Of course, when I did that, she started nagging and nagging at me again. Everything I did was wrong. Even waking up late to take my medicine was like a sin never to be forgiven. I had no energy to argue with them, got up and took my medicine. Wanted to go to the toilet, and I did not want to ask them to bring me there cos I'm sure they're gonna give me hell again. So I got up and before I knew it, I felt a bump on the back of my head, and my parents hitting my face, while I was lying on the floor outside the toilet. Can't even remember how I went to the toilet..

My parents were still scolding me when that happened though. I was so scared..thought that was really it cos I couldn't even see or hear anything clearly...my ears were all muffled..and the only thing I could hear was Mum yelling at me, while Dad was carrying me. The ambulance came a while later.

My pressure was dipping, but thank goodness I wasn't running a fever then..or else it would have been worse. Got admitted, and it was only after some time that I manage to feel better. The docs did their laboratory tests and other necessary investigations and told me that my pressure's been very low, potassium levels are low, gotta bad throat infection that affected my hearing and the amount of antibiotics I'm taking is too strong. So it was a change of medication, and I was put on a drip.

I'm feeling better now, and I'm sure I'll be alive and kicking soon again. Want to say thanks to the nurses, doctors and the civil defence team as well. They're really efficient and good. I am very impressed. 2 thumbs up for their service.

It's 2005 now..12:06am on my computer clock. HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE! A new year, a new beginning. I had a horrid 2004, so I hope 2005 will turn out good for me. I hope it'll be a good year for all of you too. :)
