meeting uncle again

:) today is 1 of my happiest practical days...
once in awhile...i will wonder "y d hell did i choose to be a nurse!!"
i mean, i can do so many other thgs...
mayb not a life saving job, but at least its a job where i dun hv 2poke anybody?

but today is certainly 1 of those days...where regrets r far behind.
i was walking back to d ward with fisherman uncle's wife (brought aunty to d cafeteria to buy food as she only ate bread for d past few days) when suddenly i feel lk i wanna look behind...bcoz at 1 glance, there's these couple who saw me n came following behind! so i turn 4a quick glance n right behind me is "uncle" n his wife...smilling naughtily. :) aunty pointed at uncle saying "hah...!!! do u still rmb him? uncle?" (aunty rmb i use to call her husband "Uncle") :P
:D of course i still rmb uncle!! i was so happy, i felt lk jumping up n down...but all i can do is smile :( coz i was really too happy! "Uncle can still rmb me after 2years?!!" uncle was my 1st cva patient. bcoz of d stroke, uncle couldnt talk or perform his daily activities. i still rmb, how sad he was bcoz of his condition.

uncle is from wat i call d higher rank society(rich ppl), but i still stubbornly call him "uncle" although strictly, we're actually not allowed to call our patients aunty/uncle/kongkong/popo. (i couldnt care much, cause calling my pt mdm/ms/sir there's these big gap btw me n them...not allowing me to treat my patients as my own family member.) n uncle is 1 of those rich ppl who din mind at all, me calling him "uncle".

ppl say, a nurse will feel very happy when they see their patient discharge. but...nowadays patient will discharge eventhough they r not fully well. there, i'll lose all contact wif d patient n left wondering how they r! :(
im really blessed 2get d chance 2meet uncle n aunty again...n knowing tat uncle can now walk, talk n is 99% well...is d best gift ever. (uncle is now under rehab)
"uncle!!! im sorry i was damn shock n happy to see u again...i was left speechless! all i could do is smile!! i really wanna tell u im so happy to know tat u r now well n gd already!! :)"
aunty gave a pat on my back n tell fisherman uncle's wife that..."she is a very gd nurse"! ahem ahem...yea...so damn bangga although fisherman uncle's wife dun und english! (hahaha :P) but...hearing tat, its really lk an energizer to me! tq so much aunty 4ur compliment...God bless you! i will always work hard n jiw you 2make ur compliment true! :)

tq Jesus 4everythg...i know tat u'll always gv me a can of red bull whenever i tired :) arigato gozaimasu Jesus!! :P

faith & strength in times of trial...

time flies...
in a short while, im now in sem5...
n im finally doing my practical again...

being a nurse, i get to meet lots of ppl...
yup! ppl who r sick lar...but...
if u really open ur eyes...u can really learn alot from them!

:( i've been eating fish 4d past 21yrs...but never once did i care to pray or thank d fishermans 4all their hardworks! i rmb getting to know during report time (passing over), how a fisherman lose his leg when he got his leg caught around a net...n when d boat tat d net was attached to drove off, it pull d fisherman along...n d next thg he knew was...he lost his leg jz lk tat! my gdness…i was thking how does it feel to lose a leg? i told myself “i must go see that uncle! i must console him! i wish i can gv him a pat on his shoulder n tell him everythg's gonna b ok! He must be really sad! :( ” when i 1st met him, he didn't wanna talk much! so i actually tried to talk to him, by taking his menu order for him. i was so shock...when he chose to eat FISH for all his 3meals...breakfast, lunch n dinner! "wat? didn't he jz lose his leg partially related to FISHes? n he still wants to eat FISH??" slowly he started talking to me. but i couldn find d courage to tell him "its ok" coz its not ok 2me! i can ask him "how r u?" n he'll say he's fine with a little smile! yea...he can still smile! :)
time past, n we started to talk more...get to know uncle is very famous! d whole kampung actually came to visit him! uncle is indeed a very nice happy go lucky person who loves to joke. so...u can guess d pat n “its gonna be ok” that I wanted to give him so much? Haha…its not applicable coz he will smile happily n joke with me! I can NEVER forget the moment he lifted n wave his amputated leg (its amputated below d knee) to me, with a naughty smile...n he said “tmr im going 2join d Olympics!!”
~oh my gdness...i almost fainted when he did tat!~
another time…again with a smile, “haiz…nvm lar…jz retire early lor, hor?!”
doesn’t it sound lk he’s comforting me instead of me comforting him?
d truth is...uncle didn’t jz lost his leg…he lose his job n income as well! but he knew, he had 2b strong!

looking at uncle...i look back n saw d "me"
...who cries over little little problems...
...who use 2grumble over what i don't hv/wat i hv to try so hard 2get...
but looking at uncle, i know how weak i am...
how wrong i am to grumble over my almost perfect life...
i know very well, in each trial...i was never alone!
yea...God did not promise a life with no worries/problems...
but He promise 2b with us...2gv us strength, 2go through each n every trial tat He permits 2happen in our life...
He promise tat He'll never leave us alone...
all we need is jz a little faith...
may God bless you uncle... :)
