Good Morning

Did I ever tell you how much I love watching the sun coming up at the beginning of a new day? I have? Good. Because I really love it. As in, really. Somehow or other, it just has a healing and calming effect in me, and I bet I'm not the only one experiencing it either. When the world is still sleeping, when all is quiet and still, when everything is still new at the dawn of a new day, somehow, magic of it all, the silence, and the sun coming up in silence, it's just awesome :)

Friday's Letters {4}

Dear Friday, thanks for coming so promptly! Today is the last day of my practical as a student radiographer!  It's finally overrr! :)

Dear friends and coursemates, it's been fun having practical with you guys, working together at the same hospital for 2 months! I'll miss seeing you! All the best in the future!

Dear N, can't wait for more dates after this now that I'll be much freer :D

Dear sun, thank you so much for drying my laundry so fast. Please don't go away yet! :p

Dear grey cells, please work extra hard for me to help think of a nice Mother's Day gift for N's mom? I'd appreciate that a lot! :) 

Another nail art I'd like to share this week! Hope you like it. (reminds me a little bit of a watermelon!)

Peach color for base coating, light palette color for nail tip bit. Hair pin as a dotting tool using black nail polish. 

Small and cute piggy bank (or should I say ladybird bank???) a gift from the hospital :)

Catch-a-Lightning

Hey guys! How are you? If you're wondering whether I've any new DIY coming up I'm sorry to say no, I don't. Am pretty busy with finishing my last few case reports, assessment and whatnot and I'm very glad to say yes! I'm finishing my practical TOMORROW! So yes naturally there's not much time for DIY this week but next week there may be something up my sleeves (tsk tsk!) so wait for it! :)

Made up for the creativity lapse by doing something really random - catch a lightning on a photo! If you haven't try it before, I'm telling you now it's a very difficult task especially with lightning striking very near you (I live in a condo high up in the air!) and having not good enough quality of a camera (but hey I'm grateful I have one!). 

Below are few pictures of my experience (the ones I think are okay) and hope that one day maybe you'll try one too! Enjoy! :)

Before a lightning strikes. Looks peaceful, ain't it? Well now don't be fooled by it!

I think my hands are a bit shaky while I was standing at the balcony thus the blurred photo. But this was really close I almost had it! Dang! (Note how the sky lights up so bright after the lightning strikes)

Tried a bokeh one. If only there are more lights in the city :(

Finally got it after lots of attempts! Could almost feel the buzz of the electric currents in the air!

Friday's Letters {3}

Dear rain, thank you for coming just at the right time to cool off the heat of the day.

Dear work, thank you for bringing interesting cases today and I finally get to hand up my case study for my last assessment! Hopefully all will be well and it'll be over soon! :)

Dear Jos, thank you for borrowing for me a screwdriver to put up my table. I love my pink study table yay! :)

Dear Carey, thanks for cooking dinner with me. It encourages me not to be lazy and to eat proper meals!

Dear bugs, you know I can't stand any of you no matter what sizes you are. Please, I do beg you to stop coming to see me! :(

Dear Lord, I pray for my country. Please save us :(

Linking up with Ashley today! :)

Optimism

It's been awhile since I really sit down and sketch. Am getting kind of rusty at it, will definitely need some practice and polishing up. Have been sick these few days thus the lack of updates, forgive me. However let's not focus on the downs shall we? There's always something good behind things that happened and I'm not going to let some virus spoil my day.

Things to look forward to:
1. Two more days to weekend! Can't wait!
2. Will be seeing my sister after 3 long months and she's bringing me something from home! Can't wait either!
3. Will be sitting with the church choir after last practise. Am looking forward to finally being a real member! :)
4. A possible date with N on Saturday? A surprise maybe? Definitely am anticipating for it!

There! I feel much better already. Boo to you mr. virus I'm going to beat you yet! I will get well soon you'll see!

ps: I passed my assessment today with flying colours! Another thing to be happy about hurrah! :)

Eventful Day

Was messing about with the blog's html codes and accidentally deleted all my previous template designs :( Imagine the frustrations I felt on top of a tiring day after spending almost 6 hours non-stop in the OT, rushing after public buses when our bus came late, small shopping trip to get myself ready for tomorrow's friend's wedding, etc. It was indeed a challenging day!

Please bear with me while I start on a new skin and hopefully it'll be better than the one before! By doing this means I'll have to change a few things here and there so all I ask is a little patience :)

Meanwhile, would love to share something nice to remind us that miracles still happen nowadays. So if you're wondering, yes I've been reading Chicken Soup for the Soul: A Book Of Miracles to while away the time I had while waiting in OT for patients to come. Enjoy! :)




"I've learned that when we "explain away" miracles with science, chemistry or coincidences, we fail to give credit to where credit is due. God may be speaking to us, showing us, blessing us."

A Week In The OT

Hello! It's already halfway along the week and hopefully yours is better than mine! Twas tiring being in the OT this week. Having to pull and push the heavy C-arm, wearing the heavy lead gown and standing for hours in the operating theatre case after case is not my idea of a relaxing week.

One good thing about this is only two more days to go and I'm done with being in the OT! Wish me all the luck and strength that I need! God bless :)

Friday Fun

Had a bit of fun during our long lunch break (2.5 hrs for Fridays!!!) today. Took a bus went out with a couple of friends and we celebrated a belated birthday. Have always like birthdays. How do you usually celebrate birthdays with your friends or loved ones? :)

Went for Chinese food as our plan A for Korean food failed :(

Loving this dainty ring a lot! ♥

My set lunch! Cheese bake rice with dessert and cream soup~

DIY inspo spotted! Fashion statement necklaces! :)

Bus tickets for five! Haven't been on a bus since last year.

Busy road on a hot sunny day.

Hope you had a nice day too! :)

Life At The Hospital Again

And so life at the hospital starts again, and this time, it's for 8 weeks straight. Time to see all sorts of white uniform around, time to see patients who are sick and suffering, time to apply what I've learnt for the service of the people. It's not bad actually, once you get used to it, but to see every day patients suffering and you can't do anything to lessen their pain. It's heart wrenching to watch. 

What I've learnt from my on and off period of life at the hospital is, take good care of your health. Once it's gone, you have to pay for it big time. 

It's funny how some patients always call those in lab coat "doctor". There's doctors, radiographers,  pharmacists, physiotherapists, medical assistants and many more people who work in the hospital who wear lab coats but somehow, people just call them all doctors.

Hallway which for once today was quite empty. It's definitely a good thing which means there's less patients who are sick, no?
