An update.
1st of August, Tuesday, Nurses' Day. I went to register for my car licence thingy. I still have to book a date to take the test.
2nd of August, Wednesday. School of Health Science celebrated Nurses' Day. It was AWESOME. So AWESOME that I wish I could bring all my friends who are not from School of Health Science to the celebration. I LOVE Ngee Ann Polytechnic School of Health Science! We're the best!! All of us had a blast. There was HS Idol. Tini got 2nd runner up. A Year 1 won the title HS Idol. He's nice I suppose but his singing.. well.. I'd rather vote for the guitarist, Stephen. Not to offend Kadir (the HS Idol) but without Stephen, the whole thing wouldn't have been nice, as quoted by Nisa. Anyway, Tini CAN sing. She's really good. I wish those who haven't heard her sing could hear her. Anyway, the whole thing was FUN! All of us were screaming like it was the last time we can scream. I had a sore throat that night by the way. I didn't think it could get worse. But it did.
3rd of August, Thursday. I got sick. I thought it was only early morning sickness, sneezing and runny nose. But it didn't stop. Went to school, Aisyah was sick too. We both caught the same type of bug. Well, it was really bad. I got home, all I could do was lie on my bed. I slept most of the time. On and off. It was HORRIBLE.
4th of August, Friday. It was confirmed I have flu. I wanted to die. I hate being sick. It suck being sick. I never want to be sick again. Anyway, we had Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS). I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE BCLS. Ok those of you who don't know what BCLS is, well, it's about saving lives. Hahah. We learnt One-Man and Two-Men CPR, Infant CPR, Adult and Infant Choking. I love doing all these. I like doing CPR. But it's tiring. Very VERY tiring. And my hands hurt. There're areas on my hands when I touch, it hurt. Like how it would hurt touching a bruise, blue-black. Yea. What's more on my palm, near the wrist there, there's zip marks. The mannequin had on a jacket with a zip up front. So when we did CPR, we had to press on the zip area. I think the mark on my palm is permanent. It hasn't gone.
I hope I get well (flu & hand pain) before Tuesday cuz I have BCLS test that day.
The background music, We Are Singapore, was a song for Singapore's National Day in 1988. But they repeated it again many years after. That's how I know of the song. I mean I was born in 1988, how could I have heard and remember the song then right? Well anyway, I love this song. And the video, which I couldn't find anywhere on the internet. It's very.. patriotic I guess? Makes me very proud of Singapore. And it's been a long time since I've said the Singapore pledge. It's in the song by the way. I think I'm playing this song for quite some time. And then I'll change to the most current one, My Island Home, NDP 2006 Theme Song.
We, the citizens of Singapore, Pledge ourselves as one united people Regardless of race, language or religion To build a democratic society Based on justice and equality So as to achieve happiness Prosperity and progress For our Nation.
Sing, A song of Home, A land of peace, Where dreams are born everyday. My Home, wherever I may be, I believe, You will always be a part of me.. - My Island Home (National Day Parade 2006 Theme Song) 9th August, Singapore's Birthday!
