Go on.
I miss Dr. Chew Wei Da. I wanna see him again so that my heart will get some workout.
Work has been good so far. A&E rocks to the core. Patients just come and go, come and go. When it's free, not so many patients, it's REALLY free. But when patients start coming in in the late mornings onwards, when it becomes busy, it's REALLY busy. And kids are just adorable especially those who don't cry too much. They're so cute. Today, I did an ECG on this 6 year old boy. He asked A LOT of questions: Must I lie down? (Yes.) Can I stand while doing this? (Haha. No.) Can I put my hand like this? (No. I need you to put it straight by your sides so I can put these stickers.) What are you doing? (Feeling for the place where I should put these stickers.) Is it going to be painful? (No.) What are you doing now? (Putting on the stickers.) What stickers are these? (They're where I can attach these wires to.) Can I see them? (Sure.) Why do you have to put these stickers? (So I can check your heart.) What are these wires? (The wires, I'll clip them to the stickers so it will show on the screen.) Is it going to be painful? (Haha no. You won't feel anything.) Why did you pull my shirt back down over the stickers and wires? (You want me to open ah? It's for privacy, your modesty.) What is that sound? (It's being printed.)
Then there was this parent who I think is hearing impaired. Cuz he gestured that he couldn't hear. His child was admitted and we had to send them up to the ward. Sheryn accompanied them. I would have gone too so I could try and use my sign language skills. But I forgot the parent was HI and didn't follow Sheryn. Regretted it sia.
Went for driving lesson after work. Not bad. Not bad. After the lesson I saw this instructor that I thought was one of my previous instructors. This instructor has been my instructor for 2 lessons. Both lessons with him I was wearing the tudung. Today, I didn't wear the tudung since I was in uniform and came straight after work. Plus I was wearing glasses. So I thought of saying hi to him and see if he recognizes me. So I tapped on his shoulders and he turned around and I said, grinning, "Recognize me?" He went like "Errrr.. who ah?" And I was like "I wear tudung", while also taking note of his crooked teeth and thick dark eyebrows. That's when a tiny bit of doubt came over me. Then he was like "Ohh.. eh, how come ah?" Meaning why I'm not wearing the tudung. At least that's what I thought he meant. So I just told him that I came straight from work. He knows I'm a nurse cuz he guessed before during one of my previous lessons with him. "So, now lesson finish ah?" I said yes. "Oh okay." And I said "Ya.. haha ok. Bye!" And I left.
While walking to the bus stop I was like "Shoot! Did I greet the correct person? Was that my previous instructor?" The sight of his crooked teeth came into mind. "Was my instructor's teeth that crooked? Was that him? Or did I get the wrong person?"
OH MY GOD. Can you imagine if I got the wrong person? What if he wasn't one of my instructors at all? Maybe he had NO IDEA who I am. I could have just made a fool out of myself. Anyhow only.. "recognize me?" I shouldn't be so daring the next time I'm not sure if I know the person. I really hope the guy I greeted was the instructor I had in mind. Paiseh sia.
Today I felt guilty and scared. Sheryn reassured me. Thanks, girl.
I want a Mazda 2.
