Back from HK

Back from HK this afternoon, and gosh, SG's weather is really killing! The scorching sun is really hot from the very moment i step out of the airport. And now, I missed the cooling weather in HK..

It's been fun in HK.. Did not expect HK to have such mountains and greeneries.. HK is really conscientious in their fight against the flus and also very supportive in the promotion of "Saving the Earth". Almost everywhere will ask you whether if u need a bag for your stuff.. And you gotta pay 10cents SGD for a plastic bag in supermarkets. So you just gotta bring your own bag.. I just love this concepts in HK!

Some snapshots during the week in HK..

The Aveune of Stars.

I just love this shot.. It would be better wihtouth the 2 people in the background

A beach in the Lanma Island... Gosh.. it is far better that our Siloso, or whatver beaches in SG! This beach is really with clear waters and sandy sand!

TLT,  we can consider to stay a few days in Lanma island for hiking and soaking in this beautiful beach.

Another of my favourite photo.. this is AstroGal!

Don't under estimate this little packet of Udon... You can choose 3 different 料 and mixed them up with the spicy and sour gravy. Yummy!

Haiya... I must say my photography skills is not too bad.. Hehe... This is the St Paul ruins in Macau.

An interesting Ad found on the road... Dunno what's @ ooobiki.com though.

A shot of one of the sutras along the Wisdom Path in Lantau island... Hope I have become wiser now...

HK Disneyland. Didn expect that I would enjoy being in Disneyland. And, 1 day is not enough!!

Had a sudden urge to do some blogging. But really dunno what to blog about. Stucked case remained stucked. Supposed-to-do stuff still did not manage to do. Dunno why. The poor time management aura is here again.

2 more weeks to go is the HK trip! Mixed feelings about it. Definitely excited about going to HK, but this time is going on a trip with a new bunch of people. Friends or Foes when we come back? haha.
Before going on leave = clear work and pass on the shit. That is the most troubling part. What shit and pass on to who? As if people hadn't had enough of their own shit.

Oh, Eileen was telling me that I am very good, coz I don't grumble when she opens cases. Then I told her, "grumble liao also need to take. Then grumble also no use. Just grumble in my heart loh..."
谁知道我心中的苦? that is my 座右铭.

Indeed, 谁知道我心中的苦? This reminded me of what Sing said about Capricorns - they will only say when you ask. Very true. Maybe I will not say even when you ask.  =)
Personally, I think I am a very "closed" person. I bet no one really know stuff about me.
Then people will ask, "but you everyday also look very happy and cheerful leh.."
Am I really happy everyday? I dunno. But I can assure you that when I smile at you, I am smiling from my heart. Smiling isn't that difficult, isnt it?  =)

Attended to a sudden death case this afternoon. Truly realised the true meaning of "a hungry man is an angry man". I was about to have a mouth of bee hoon when I received the sms to attend to the case (and yes, we are high tech now, we are informed of our new referrals through sms.)
I can literally feel the frustration and anger, coz I am already having late lunch (got stucked in another potential-stucked case, talking to the family members), and not even giving me time to have my lunch peacefully. But anyway, Patient centred. While I was on my way to the A&E, I was reminding myself about the poor family. To think that I need to remind myself about that, I must be very hungry.

It was quite a tragic death I think. But somehow, on reflecting, I think it is also quite heartwarming to see that there are actually so many people coming to see the patient for the last time, and so many of them crying for him. You may think that I am sadistic, to say such scene is heartwarming, but then again, how many people on earth will have so many people crying truly from their heart for them? For this case, I see the patient's own family of origin, his wife's family, friends and colleagues. This made me wonder, during my death, how many people will truly cry for me?

From this, you can see that he is being looked upon as a very nice and good family member. Well-liked by everyone. Well, then again, one may ask, "Since he is such a nice man, why did he die in such a tragic death?" The only answer I can think of is 天嫉英才.

So, here we have family members grieving over another family member's death, and there, we have family members who think that death of their parent is able to solve their problem. Tragic.

March and April has been full of li li la la cases... I have to apologise to those who slipped passed me, and got discharged without me seeing. But I think you all should be doing very well lah...

I thought I was actually quite perked-up after the previous ICU case. Seen the best and not-so-good things for this case. But realised that I have a lot of backlog cases waiting for me to see. And did I say that it is the season of foreign patients? There's 2 of them parking opposite of one another in the ward.

Oh, it's the season of family-requesting-for-nursing-home as well! No way out unless the poor patient is in nurisng home. All children cannot take care because:
- "We have our own family":
Wow... Your parents are not your family already.

- "We are married off and not working, so we need to listen to our husband, who forbids us to care for our parents":
Will you listent to your husband if he says that he is not going to give you money? and i wonder if you will readily say yes if your husband wants you to care for HIS parents.

- "My house is too small to accommodate my parent":
Then maybe you should move into a 1-room rental flat to know what is SMALL.

- "My mum should look after him. If she doesn't want to, why should us?":
Your mum is 80 years old, duh!!!!!

- "So what will you do if we just don't open the door, and don't care about our parent?"
Maybe your God will strike you with lightning.



This keep me thinking about the values people has nowadays. I thought the current middle aged generation should still have some values on filial piety. If this generation is already like this, I wonder what will happen to the next, or even next next generation. Maybe instead of the HOTA thingy, we can have a PNHA - Parent Nursing Home Act. You will be automatically be placed in nursing home upon reaching 62 years old (once you get your monthly CPF payout), unless you opt out.

it is always great to have a game of badminton, followed by some chilling out at some eateries to gossip, give advice, hear stories.. (except the part of having to wait for the main lead, with a pig sleeping in her room..)

slacking at Mac is not too bad, with decent hot choc from Mc Cafe. Thanks to Sing for her contributions of conversation. Its the season of 桃花 for her, hope that it is really good  桃花 and not some rotten ones.

Was thinking about the next gathering.. I bet everyone would have been tired of playing badminton... Was trying my luck for the Corporate pass for SG Flyer, but well, guessed that my luck is still not very lucky. Shall try it in May. Maybe we should have dim sum outing again at Red Star or maybe at this Upper THomson road. Was watching TV and saw this ad on this place at 244F Upper THomson road with apparently good dim sum. But all that has to wait till May, coz Yu will be off to Japan soon (*envious*) while I'll be off to HK after she comes back. Excited!
