I've Finally Found Someone - Brian Adams & Barbara Streisand

Bryan:
I finally found someone, that knocks me off my feet
I finally found the one, that makes me feel complete

Barbra:
We started over coffee, we started out as friends
It's funny how from simple things, the best things begin

Bryan:
This time it's different,

Barbra:
Dah dah dah dah

Bryan:
It's all because of you,

Barbra:
Dah dah dah dah

Bryan:
It's better than it's ever been

Both:
'Cause we can talk it through

Barbra:
Oohh, my favorite line was "Can I call you sometime?"
It's all you had to say

Both:
To take my breath away
This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night

Barbra:
'Cause whatever I do,

Bryan:
It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone,
Barbra:
Ooh, someone

Bryan:
I finally found someone,

Barbra:
Oooh . . .

Bryan:
Did I keep you waiting,

Barbra:
I didn't mind

Bryan:
I apologize,

Barbra:
Baby, that's fine

Bryan:
I would wait forever

Both:
Just to know you were mine
Bryan:
You know I love your hair,

Barbra:
Are you sure it looks right?

Bryan:
I love what you wear,

Barbra:
Isn't it the time?

Bryan:
You're exceptional,
Both:
I can't wait for the rest of my life . . .
This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night

Barbra:
'Cause whatever I do,

Bryan:
It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone,
Barbra:
Whatever I do,

Bryan:
It's just got to be you

Both:
My life has just begun
I finally found someone

Love Story - Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowdand say hello;
Little did I know
That you were Romeo;
you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
And I was crying on the staircase,begging you,
'Please, don't go.'"

And I said,"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

"So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew.
So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.'

Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet,"
But you were everything to me;
I was begging you, 'Please, don't go,'"

And I said,"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

Romeo save me - they're tryin' to tell me how to feel;
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid; we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story - baby just say "Yes.'"

Oh, oh.
I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin' around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town,

And I said,"Romeo save me - I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in thy head? I don't know what to think-

"He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
"Marry me, Juliet - you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad - go pick out a white dress;
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"

Oh, oh. Oh, oh.

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you...

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon-dustIn your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all aroundJust like me, they long to be
Close to you

Happy Birthday to me #1 ~ @ Singapore

So, last birthday, i had an awesome celebration lasting whole-week-long, as it overlapped with my end-posting holidays... in other words, i took my long saved leave on short... i had an awesome celebration from up North, Cameron highlands, down to KL, Seremban and down South in Singapore... So, here's a bit of them, here and there... random highlights and updates, and some food / places reviews, just in case you might think i had vanished in thin air, well, i'm still here, as always... ^^


Upon arriving in Singapore, i met with my old friend, aka classmate from high school, Joanne... i met her at Boon Lay, and we had dinner in New York, New York... i loved the food there, but i think the portion there was rather big... surprisingly, everything in Singapore, well, almost everything, you have to queue up... even food... i've noticed... and Singaporeans, well, i think they loved to eat, and they don't mind queuing up...

the nice surroundings...

The pretty Joanne and i

My orange juice + Joanne's root beer +

my usual dose of anti-histamines... hehe...

Hawaii Teriyaki Chicken Chop

(The perfect combination of tropical pineapple and delicious teriyaki sauce on a grilled chicken thigh)

selection of steaks....

Seafood Marinara Pizza
(Prawns, Mussles, Squid, Olives, Marinara Sauce, Mozzarella, Fresh Herbs)

the selection of pizzas....

The supermodel and her pizza... hehe...

and guess what?

Joanne surprised me with a bithday gift!!!

(happily cam-whoring some more... haha.... typical bloggers... do send me the pics ya)

it was great meeting up with you again,

can't wait for next time!

take care!

*updates* *updates* *updates*

i promised Shin Loo that i would resume the responsibility of a responsible blogger. that was when i realised i have not been blogging for the last two months.... i had dropped to the extend of one post in 3 months. wow! that is kind of bad isn't it? i bet most of my readers would have abandoned me, friends would have wondered what had happened to me. so sorry bout that...

WORK, my friend, WORK... so tiring that at the end of the day, you'll just want to date your cosy comfy bed... coupled with poor internet access... REALLLY BAD ONES... the kind that you wait, then leave your webpage to stream, then go do some other work, and come back to your pc only to find you are still stucked at the same old page, still streaming halfway....snailing away... what can i say? CELCOM BROADBAND S*UCKS!!!! MAXIS BROADBAND S*UCKS!!!! (i tried both) ARGHHHH.....

then again, as you know, peanut got posted to hospital malacca too! but i guess he's got the blogging spirit despite:
1. still tagging
2. had to travel to tesco to online
-something which i seriously should mencontohi... siGh....
oh yes, before i forget: NG BING WUI, WELCOME TO HOSPITAL MALACCA!!!!
and Christina, congratulations on your graduation!! come join us also la... then we can start a bloggers' association here liao... hehe...

Anyway, fyi, i am currently on a one-week-vacation!! yippie!! which is rather luxurious for a house officer... correction: VERY LUXURIOUS.... and i thought such luxury does not exist, but hey, it does!! i saved all my holidays and took them one short... first bitter, later sweet, no?

i spend the first part of my holidays celebrating mid autumn festival with Mum, making mooncakes, i wished i had taken pictures to share them with you... but shinLoo was right, i forgot i was a blogger... then i went to Cameron Highlands, living the fairytale... then a day of shopping and sleepover at shinLoo's place, dinner with sukTeng... back rotting at home, went to service my baby, patched the holes in his front tyres, and planning to spend the next few last days down South in Singapore.... can't wait to meet up with May Luu, Cheryl, Im Sing, Su Yin, HK, G Cup, Aland, Bobo, LYC, YZ, kuan Geok, ah bong, KonVoi, Tim, Joanne, LeeYee, and the rest...

so, that's more or less on my updates... will be starting o&G soon... looking forward to deliveries... perhaps seeing new life would be more enlightening and emotionally enriching than filling up death certificates.... looking forward for the next posting....

p/s: it's taking forever for me to upload pictures... terrible internet access... SiGh... will need to be more descriptive in my future posts... a picture is worth a thousand words... so, i guess i shall need thousand of words to compensate... ^^

-------will resume the responsibility of a blogger, hopefully---------

H1N1 inching closer, hitting the statistic...

A(H1N1): Malaysia records 4th death, more schools closed (Update 3)


PUTRAJAYA: A 20-year-old woman suffering from Influenza A(H1N1) died on Tuesday, the fourth person to die in Malaysia due to the virus, while more schools and campuses were closed when students exhibited flu-like symptoms.

The woman, who had contracted the virus through a local transmission, died at the Malacca Hospital from “severe community acquired pneumonia” at 9.40am.

Health Ministry director-general Tan Sri Dr Ismail Merican said the woman, who had suffered from obesity, had only sought treatment at the hospital on July 26, 11 days after contracting the disease.

She suffered clinical complications on July 27 and a throat swab was taken on Tuesday.

“The deaths reported affected victims between their 20s and 40s. They had early symptoms but sought treatment late and doctors did not suspect that they were infected by H1N1.

“This is discomforting to the Ministry,” he said after chairing the National Pandemic Preparedness Plan technical committee meeting here Wednesday.

Asked why the ministry was not alerted on the case on Tuesday, he said the doctor had only discovered she had H1N1 infection after her death.

Dr Ismail said he was informed of her death after the Institute of Medical Research got the results on Wednesday morning.

On whether the ministry would take action against hospitals for failure to detect H1N1 cases early, he said, “We don’t want to resort to the blame game. We advise patients to go to hospitals if they have symptoms.”

He said members of the public were still taking H1N1 lightly even after four deaths, adding that the latest victim had not heeded to her parents’ advice to go to the hospital for early treatment. He also said that doctors should be more alert.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

you can imagine what happened next...
today, an extremely different whether took over my ward...
all the sudden, everyone in my ward was wearing a face mask.....
the doctors who were previously exposed to this patient, are like super anxious...
the other staffs (me, included) who were previously exposed to these doctors,
are super anxious too...

you think they'll close down hospital melacca and quarantine everyone???
finally, a long break... haha...
~in your dreams~

i wonder, will the workload reduces when people gets paranoid... even my patients are asking for early discharges... haha, yeah, for the first time... an EMPTY bed in the ward... wow!

i know, i work in a high risk environment, sometimes, i do wonder, is it worth it?
risks of needle prick injury, TB contact, dengue contact, and now this???

p/s: guess what? even KTSN was closed down because of H1N1... sometimes, to think about it, when somebody gets infected, you close down the institution and send everyone home, those with (and without) fever... how smart.... i wonder....

deceptions

23.07.2009

I lived in a world of lies.
Deceptions.


And so, I wore a mask today.
Hoping that it would hide all emotions.
Secrets.
Hoping to numbed those feelings.
To shadow them away,
The slightest clue, the minute hint,
Perhaps, everything.

It had not been raining for quite a while.
Until today.

They said that one will grow stronger with time.
I doubt I’ll ever will.
The emotions, greater than what my heart is able to contain.
The burden, heavier that what I can shoulder.
No one told me it was going to me like this.
No one told me that I was to be less human.

I do not want to get used to seeing this,
To get used to being less emotional,
To be accustomed to seeing illnesss, disease, deaths and loss,
When hopes shattered, love is lost,
And we could not even say that we had done our very best,

I learnt 3 new words:
1. FATE
2. LIMITATION
3. PURE UNLUCKYNESS

there has been a death in the opposite house

picture by enchantress

Date: 23.07.2009
Time: Post-Call 36 hours
Weather: Raining heavily

Problem List/ Chief Complains:
1. Menstrual Day 1
2. + a terrible headache
3. + temperature spiking
4. + a really bad call...
5. + a really, really, discouraging, demotivating, spirit-breaking, on-call MO


i thought things could never get worse,
but it did...

Let me shared an old poem with you by Emily Dickinson.
Perhaps, it could best express the dark feelings in me...
together, let's say a silent prayer...



There's been a death in the opposite house
As lately as to-day.
I know it by the numb look
Such houses have alway.

The neighbors rustle in and out,
The doctor drives away.
A window opens like a pod,
Abrupt, mechanically;

Somebody flings a mattress out,--
The children hurry by;
They wonder if It died on that,--
I used to when a boy.

The minister goes stiffly in
As if the house were his,
And he owned all the mourners now,
And little boys besides;

And then the milliner, and the man
Of the appalling trade,
To take the measure of the house.
There'll be that dark parade

Of tassels and of coaches soon;
It's easy as a sign,--
The intuition of the news
In just a country town.

-by Emily Dickinson
