Music

"Music makes me lose control."

This is the first phrase that comes to my mind when I think about 'Music'. I am listening to the melodious tune of the keyboard. Truth is, I have no idea what the person is playing. But music makes me relax. Of course, not all kinds of music. I'd say it all depends on the mood.

Singing is self-created music. It is my version and my idea of how music is to me. Though it is not perfect, well, maybe far from perfect sometimes, I enjoy singing. I love singing with friends, it not only provides a form of stress relief, it also binds stronger bonds with my friends and I. A singing session on a weekend for a mere 3 hours is enough to get to know a friend better. Weird as it may sound, it is true. Somehow it binds people; music binds people.

There are so many things I want to blog about 'Music', but I think it's time to sing to someone special before I hit the sack.

One more week to a change in position

Hello BS (AKA Bull Shit hahaha)!

How's London? You're in London now, and sadly, you have no internet access over there because the house you're staying in has no wifi. That's sad, it means I won't be able to receive your emails or whatsapp (if it's working) for like.. a week? You'll be traveling to so many places, London, Munich, Paris. Very envious. While I'll be traveling to Perth in less than a week. Thank God for your auto-roaming services, you still managed to send me text messages for a while, and at least I know you'll be able to receive my text msgs whenever I feel like sending one to you. :)

In a week or so, you're gonna be back in SG, you'll come back to your family and friends here. I wonder where your next placement will be at because it sounds exciting. I wonder who you'll get attached together, how the situation will be like, will you miss me as much as I missed you? Perhaps not. Going to placement alone for 3B did make me miss you a lot a lot, extremely a lot, especially during those stress days where I had so much to find out and going to work the next day (traveling all the way to yishun) made me miss our morning texts. You'll either doze off or take a long time to reply, but this time.. it's different, you can't even receive my texts, and I will never receive your replies.

The best thing about being apart for so long is that you're telling me 'I miss you' more often than in SG. Every single 'I miss you' I see on my phone or email inbox makes a difference to our relationship. It makes me feel sane, because the Barron I know hardly verbalizes he misses me in Singapore, okay fine, maybe not as frequent as you are doing now. I miss you, especially on this rainy cold Sunday morning. let's listen to the Sunday morning song together in your car.

I'll be back in 7 weeks, we'll be accomplishing a list of to-do things and to-go places. Be prepared for a busy end to 2011!

2/3 to go

Hello there.

4.5 weeks since you went to Ireland. And in 1.5 weeks, I'll be heading to Australia. It is such a pity we won't get to see each other before I leave. And guess what, we'll have to wait for another 5.5 weeks before I return! Man, that's long. We have 2 more months from now. We have survived 1 month- on Skype, daily email exchanges and occasional Whatsapp. But Whatsapp is so disappointing, it can't deliver my texts because your whatsapp in Ireland sucks. Well, surviving on 2 modes of communication isn't that bad, I guess. It is the first time in the past year that we're speaking so little; that we're not meeting up at all; that we're unaware of each other's daily life at all; that we are so far away from each other.

We have 2/3 weeks left before 3B ends. I cannot wait. Glad that you're doing well in Ireland and that you've been enjoying yourself there! Come back soon okay, too long too far away from home.

We have 2/3 months to go before 3C ends and when I return. I cannot wait too!

Now, let's continue the good job that we both did in perfecting our communication everyday. Everything will be alright as long as we hold faith everyday. :)

Definition of communicating ?

omg I can't even get to talk to you properly on a weekday. Probably every one is tired, probably you are busy, probably I am busy, porbably we just don't have the time. Sometimes, I have so many things to tell you, but over the weekends, there seems to be nothing left to say about what happened over the week.

Nothing substantial, just want to talk. I talk to my friends more than I talk to you during the week. I love talking, am I going to get TMJ problem. :(

But I thought about it. We are going to be like this, or even worse, for the next few weeks, months, years. It is a good thing I am getting used to not meeting you/talking sufficiently to you. Good thing, or bad?

Weekend

Our slacking weekend has ended. All we do is eat and sleep. Gosh, we are weekend pigs.

Start of Week 4. I cannot wait for week 5 to come. It will come soon. I must work on my inservice ppt! I was so stressed, I cried on saturday. Somehow quite glad you were there. HAHAHA although I was all ugly and annoying. I am old enough to deal with it, I usually cry and cry but that is how I vent my stress and frustration. I will get back on track asap.

Cheers to a new week, I hope I don't get madly stressed. You too. Healthy week, let's begin.

Marvellous!

Exactly half way through our clinicals. I hope you are doing okay. Talking to each other has been reduced to minimal during weekdays. Good that we both are still good.

I promise to not say you are irritating for the whole week and instead call you 'marvellous' hahaha. This is really funny. But it is weird, I really am not calling you irritating as many times compared to the previous week.

Today, I learnt one thing. That is seek patient's comfort after every treatment. Yes, evaluating means to retake vitals, re-auscultate and whatnot. But the most important part of this is the patient himself. He may be medically stable and everything but if he is not comfortable, we have failed to evaluate the whole treatment holistically.

I miss you a little more today. I felt so tired, I could collapse while reading the case notes. Just hoped you would appear right in front of me so I can trust fall on you! Hahaha. Okay maybe tomorrow I should imagine you there.. And then I can do an ultimate trust fall. Anything happens, A&E is just round the corner.

If there is one thing I could change about today is that.. I put that bottle of nutella away from me.

Oh yay, Harry Potter on Saturday! The final end. I am excited!

Clinicals so far.

Hi there.

Wow it has been a long time since I came here. And unsurprisingly, it's not updated. Well oh well, nothing is more important than clinicals and your sleep now. This, I must agree. Everything else can wait.

Clinicals have been quite alright, although there are a zillion and one things I have to find out everyday to make myself more confident and competent, I find it fulfilling. As a physiotherapist, I see how I can play a role in people's lives especially for the sick ones in the high-dependecy wards. Not only do they need prescription of medications from the doctors, physiotherapists play a big role there too. It makes me feel important because chest (i.e lungs) is an important component of every patient there. EVen if they do not have impaired mucociliary clearance, they do have decreased ventilation and musculoskeletal complications. This is the part where doctors will not fulfill for the patient. Though I haven't talked much to the doctors because they are either busy arguing about the cases, discussing the cases, hogging the case notes or just basically busy, I must pick some courage up and talk to them if I need to. Communication with patients are good so far, I dealt with a difficult patient who is hypersensitive to pain and grouchy. But I feel very good when she listened and comply to whatever I told her. She made me feel important because she didn't like my supervisor (she is traditional and dislike people with other skin colours). So I was kinda in charge of the whole case, with some supervision in the background. Feels quite good. I am taking control of something.

I know you always feel that I do not take charge of my life fully, especially after the schoalrship incident.. where I did not know what I exactly want. Well, I think I just got to learn, it's not as if I don't want to take control, it is just that I have to learn. Whenever I wanna take control, something goes wrong and it really discourages me a lot when people around me are telling me how I should be focused and taking control of my life, guiding myself to the route I want to take. It stresses me a lot, beacuase all these years, I know what I want, but they are not specific. Now, when I have to start thinking about specificity of my goals, I get stucked. Your pressures and stress are weighing down on me, and I feel it. Wonder if it's a good or a bad thing. I feel motivated, yet discouraged. I feel useless on some days becuase really, i feel like I am not up to anything. How come other people are able to do it but I can't? Ahh I don't know. Seems like it's not enough to be contented, sometimes.

From, J.

Trust!

Doubt you'll even look at this space, it is your space eh! Now, I have taken over and I am going to take up this virtual space of yours.

So stress, so many things to do, you're stressed, I'm stressed.

Trust. Respect. Trust that we will not keep things from each other, trust that we both know what we want in life, as well as for each other. Trust.

A revamp

Hello barron.

Are you happy with your newly customised blog? It has been abandoned for 1+ years, it is time to give it a new life- a different person that you have become since 2006. Please, at least update it occasionally. I took 2h to revamp this whole blog. Time check: 1.34am. Goodness, give me some credit, do update your blog.

I have added a part on the left side of your blog: "Labels". I think it is quite apparent you do not know what that column is for because for the past 188 entries of yours, you just typed your 'title' into that box. Let me tell you how you can use it. It is used as a 'folder' for your entries. Everytime you write an entry, you can put them into these little 'folders'. I will first start by adding a few folders for you, you can do add any folders you want, at anytime. See, the internet is so convenient (Omg, this is coming from me, I am praising technology!)

Just wanna tell you that you have been a nice man, and I love you very much.

xoxo,
Joanna.
