happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear geraldine... happy birthday to you...
no kopitiam invasion tonight...
moo moo and birdy went for an all-nighter KTV session at paradiz centre's Party World... if it weren't for work tomorrow morning, i would've been singing along with them right now...
so instead, i'm here blogging the non-existence of our kopitiam invasion... yes, we'll still have it next week, before i leave for genting and meow meow goes into hibernation for her studies... she must be very busy again, cos she din reply to any emails for the whole week... next week's kopitiam is at jurong west (blk) 500+ market kk...
of my 1st BMA...
BMA: bone marrow aspiration
mr yeo is on mc today... the good thing was, i was well prepared, mentally, that i had to do BMA... it wasn't a last minute mc where they couldn't find people to do... of cos, we're not the ones doing the actual procedure, but we act as a support for the doctors and nurses...
the procedure: after preparing our stuff, goes up to the ward... patient would've been sedated and ready for the doctor to plunge an BM aspirate needle into their bone... once the doc is in the bone, he/she will pass the collected BM to us and we'll make smears from it... important thing for us is to make sure it's a good collection (check for presence of solid particles) before the doc can pull out the needle and end the procedure... (click on the first 2 words if anyone wants a visual)
since i'm a core staff of the haematology section, i'm being trained to do the procedure... though i've been up with my senior staff before, this was my 1st time doing the smears all by myself... i was quite petrified, wondering whether i'll be able to make the smears properly... or if i'll accidentally spill precious BM on the floor or something...
i think i was really blessed... the doc was good, the patient was good, the marrow was good... it was easy to make the smears, and i had muiling (another staff who went up with me) to help me double-check that i was doing correctly... everything went smoothly and was over in a matter of 10-15min... it helped boast my confidence and i am more "secure" (for lack of a better word) now that i'll be able to do the job should the need arise for me to go up alone...
of choir today...
sitting between my sis and jiahui, we were making each other laugh throughout the whole practise... sorry to teckbeng laoshi and Xu shimu who was conducting the choir... but we really tried to keep it down, not that it was working much...
having practise in the music/dance room is not good... there's a huge mirror infront of us, and we tend to (mis)use it by communicating through our reflections... today, it was worse than ever... i think since we started playing more and more mahjong, we've been getting more and more crazy...
jiahui was posing out more facial expressions than usual that my sis was affected and was doing the same thing... imagine both of them doing it at the same time, it's hilarious... we were trading insults at each other again, and den laughing hysterically after trying to pull a straight face... we had jiahui posing as japanese schoolgirl taking photos... ended up with me laughing til i was tearing, and sis crunched up laughing and lying on my lap...
*sighs* i shall miss this when i move up to the adult choir next yr...
ps. FTT on monday afternoon (moo moo's birthday), 4.30pm... i haven't studied a single thing yet... yikes! better do some studying during the weekend...
