Start

 As long as I am willing to start, I can do anything and everything. 

Yesterday I gave a talk for the hospital level continuous medical education session. I was warned ahead that I would be extremely discouraged as the attendance is usually low but that does not bother me because even if I have 1 audience, I will still deliver the talk. We should not deprive the minority who are enthusiastic and willing to learn just because the majority refuse to update/upgrade themselves. I was quite surprised that 23 people came as according to the attendance but only 19 did the pretest and 9 did the post test. I did enquire why was the number for post test was much lower and I think I could improve on my part as the form was not public and needed access. Some of them came late which explains why the pretest was lower than the attendance. I thought I would have stage fright, but somehow I did not this time. I think I know the reason why but it isn't a good reason. I think it was because I am having the feeling like I am the one eye Jack in the isle of blind. A little too full of myself I think but based on occupational hierarchy that was the truth, then again some juniors might be even more knowledgeable. 

I was pretty irritated when the group of doctors walk in as one of them was talking non stop narrating an event and another 4 was listening intently, I tried to allow them to finish talking but it was so prolonged and they had no awareness that in a room of 23 people, their actions are easily visible and rude. Therefore I announce that I would appreciate if they would stop talking and pay attention to the talk which was on basic resuscitation. It took me 1 hour 8 minutes to finish the whole session thanks to people keep trickling in and not being on time causing a slight delay in the commencement of the pretest. All in all I guess it was a beneficial lecture as the scores for the posttest improved although only filled by half of the initial pretest participants. Someone suggested I use Kahoot! as it would be fun but the reason I used Google forms is to keep tract and as documentation purposes. 

I couldn't help drop some advice at the end of the session to the group of young doctors as I can see not all of them are enthusiastic. The head nurse seems to be pleased with the advice and thanked me and invited me to give another talk next month on electrocardiogram. I think I am going to make it more interactive for the next session as I did see 2 person dozing off likely due to post prandial effects since it is a post lunch talk. 

Somehow my blog feels so much like a diary now and I think it is time for me to just keep it private. I am not sure why am I getting readers from other countries but likely because of the title "Singapore" during one of the post. That seemed to be the most popular post and I think I only stated positive remarks of the neighboring red dot in that post. Well I should say it is a great country but dealing with Singaporean businessman can be a pain in the ass, they just cannot accept a win-win situation and only consider their part and are quite harsh too - "take it or leave it", that is their style.  Well, in a way I am rooting for Thailand to have their ports improved and probably in the future the people from the little red dot can learn to tone down a bit as it would be others' turn to say "take it or leave it". 

I doubt I have any regular readers other than Icy but Icy is someone in the past and regardless of whether he still reads or not it does not concern me anymore (cutting ties was one of the best things this year and I am thankful that he initiated it). Anyway, thank you to those who read and I hope you all don't make the same mistakes I did in life. I shall lock my blog before Winter Solstice! It does make me a little heavy hearted to privatize my blog as the numbers of people visiting from different countries made me felt like whatever I wrote had value. However it is for the best. 

Let's all have a good start okay! 




Keeping this as a memory. The countries that visited my blog for the past 12 months <3 

Thank You for spending your time reading!

Singapore

Continuation from yesterday’s post.  I finally ate the ice cream which is sandwiched between two wafers that I saw before and it was yummy because there’s like a huge block of ice cream and the wafer was thin. I chose peppermint chocolate and raspberry swirl. It was really fun to eat that on the helical bridge that totally looks like a DNA strand. I really love this region and it was also the same place where the fun run was held. So I got to go across the helical bridge twice. I am also very happy to finally seen the Merlion and since it was early in the morning during the fun run, the place was rather quiet and there were not many crowds. I wanted to properly run the fun run but I end up walking most of the time just enjoying the scene and talking to people since it was supposed to be a networking event. Delegates from 142 countries were there but I only manage to make friends from Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Indonesia, Germany and New Zealand. It was quite hard to make ...

Out of the blue

 I remembered I used to cry a lot about Icy, and I was very confused with my own actions and emotions. During that period, I needed someone to talk to, and I did not want to talk to anyone who knew me in real life so I just spoke to someone random in-game. He joined the clan and I used to want people to be active and donate clan points and make a lot of reminders for members to play world boss. It was also during that time that I cleared out some members to make way for new ones. I may have recall bias as I had a lot of sadness in me back then and when I am sad I cannot recall things properly. I just remember the guy was from Brazil and when he heard of my story he was mad at me as he said I was unfaithful to my husband and he left the clan and deleted me as friend. I was rather shocked with his response and at that time I was also sad as I realize no one will ever be compassionate enough to understand my feelings.  Anyway that was more than 1 year plus ago. I think I stopped ...

忙或困是最好的解药

 我想人类是需要足够的睡眠， 过于操劳能让一个人所有的情绪给封闭起来，脑子里只想让自己“关机”。今天刚巧是个很忙的一天，忙得我真的没时间去思念任何人，也没时间胡思乱想。我记得我曾经说过为了避免自己难过，我若是隔天要离开情人/亲人，我刻意让自己睡眠不足。当我觉得我很困的时候，我就没机会伤心了，这个生活窍门我用了很多次也从未失败过。  我不能说我完全没有想他，因为今天工作所遇到的事我都很想和他分享。由于很忙这个想法只是瞬间经过我的大脑然后很快的又消失了。我可算是个认真的人，工作时我都不分心所以我真的想他了，要不然他是不会出现在我脑海里。其实我今天有和我老公说我想他了可是他没有回答我给他的简讯。1256，1637， 2327 这些是我发了简讯的时间可是一个答复都没有。想一想我真的是个孤单的人。虽然我很爱独处，但是我也喜欢有个和我三观一致的人和我分享生活。 我现在只希望今晚有机会睡觉因为昨晚我0200就醒来了。我没想他了，我只渴望睡觉。其实还有很多话想说但是我真的很困了。
