For those who wanted to see this on FB. here's the pledge!
I must remember that I worked hard to get into NUS and hence should make this journey worthwhile.
I must remember that if I can't do this for my sake, then I must atleast do it for the sake of my patients.
But I must still do it for my sake.
Because no one is going to pull up my CAP score for me, pay attention for me during lecture or attend my exams, but myself.
I must remember that an hour past midnight today is many hours of sleep in class the next day.
I must remember that a lecture class without lecture notes, is like an arrow without its arrowhead. There is no point.
I must remember that although there will always be people coming later than me for class, there are 80 others who are earlier.
I must remember that if I don't make it, Prema (or insert Sponsor's name) will hunt me down and breathe down my neck.
I must remember.
I must remember that looking for journal articles can be ridiculously hopeless and that technology can be a pain in the ass, so never. start. late.
I must remember that being a nurse automatically makes white look good on me.
I must remember that it is more important to don the white uniform and automatically be a good nurse.
I must remember that someone, on some bed, in some hospital, will be a happier human being because I will be capable of providing him good and safe nursing practice.
Lastly, I must remember
because I cannot
afford
to forget.
I found this on Facebook and it was written by a senior of mine. Although I don't know personally I found it very inspiring and really serves as a good reminder to be constantly motivated.
I'm starting to think it might be my calling after all; I don't wanna sound like a religious poop gabbering blind statements, but since no one ever visits this place anymore so screw it. Oh and I'm really kinda relieved since all my friends were complaining about being so lost in their current studies; wanyu has been whining about it everywhere, on her blog, on facebook, my cousin has been whining about her A levels and distaste for science, random people whining about their studies etc.
Me? I'm just poor. HAHAHA.
*Back to Fundamentals of Nursing.
I think barely anyone drops by this space anymore but I'm just here to verify the existence of this blog here. And also update about my life in snippets since i now have a handy-dandy brown vintage notebook to bring about and pen down my thoughts as an when I feel like it. Good investment, I say.
Well, to put it simply. I'm a fresh undergraduate at NUS now, Faculty of Medicine (Whoops! Sounds totally pro and atas but actually I'm majoring in Nursing hahahahaha.)
FOC 2010 was kickass, super fun and I screamed my ass off with my roomie Denise. The OG was cool too, consisting of 2 female OGLs (both from JJC coincidentally :D), 7 girls including myself, and a dude in a mohawk hairdo (Nurse much LOL). We got nothing but the 'Most Entertaining OG' award and my og mate yenyen got the female freshie award woopwoop! We went for CIP together (for those who didn't oversleep) and also to help out for Medicine Rag, which was honestly cool on the actual day. With the YOG Passing of the Flame ceremony at NUS after Rag. Awesome day, pictures up soon on facebook (hopefully, again.)
But then school started and we were divided into different tutorial groups; we're only together during lectures. I'm still pretty much unfamiliar with people around; haven't found a clique yet but aiyah; not a big problem. Jessica, Bong and Wanyu are all in NUS too, and I think I oughta be fine.
Just came back from Skate Clinic 2010 today! :D COOL SHIT. Learnt how to skate. Pity though our team missed out on the wining prize: 5 free pairs of free-style inline skates! Wts right. Sigh. Regardless, we had a major lot of fun, and I think I've pretty much made up my mind what to join in NUS; this and P.E.A.C.E Club (some NUS animal welfare society wheeee).
SUPER HIGH EXPENSES STILL.
Perhaps it's because the year just started and we have to get a lot of things.
Uniforms.
Scrubs.
Textbooks.
Stethoscope and equipment set.
Etc.
And I have yet to get my guitar.
MY ACOUSTIC GUITAR.
And the effing Prudential financial biatch consultant I was working for, L.L. gave Xinyi and I only $100 each, less than half of what we oughta have earned which is like $215. WTF RIGHT.
My John Little pay has yet to come in also and I'm ZZZ. Broke broke broke.
I'm still hunting for tuition kids; probably starting out with primary school kids.
And perhaps another part-time job.
I have a lot to achieve.
1. Get a high GPA for my year one. (I'll probably have to digest the whole of my textbooks and make constant trips to the school medical/science library; both online and S6.)
2. French (Still yes. I'm ashamed to say that I have completely forgotten about it all this time I was caught up in the university hype. Whoops.)
3. Acoustic Guitar (Yes, both through self-learning, though I might just crash SIM's acoustic guitar beginner's course :D SHHH)
3. In-line Skating. (Totally right. That's the whole point of joining Skate Club :D Teehee. Slack training sessions which aren't compulsory for the both times a week, 25% off skates and equipments from this joint sponsor, and exercise to sweat out those flab and tone these thunder thighs.)
A LOT RIGHT.
Yes I have a lot on my mind right now.
I'm still broke.
Oh btw, dad's M1 contract expired so while recontracting it, we got ourselves an iPhone 4 32 GB, then sold it off. HOHO. LOVES. I wouldn't trade in my blackberry curve for any touch screen, overrated and common phone man.
BLACKBERRY FTW PEOPLE.
Anyways I'm 'cui' now (new cool and 'in' term amongst campers) so I'll head to bed.
BTW.
I openly request for in-line skates for my upcoming birthday in November okay. Note it down people. 18/11/2010. Ivy wants SKATES SKATES SKATES YO.
Merci beaucoup. *inserts lots of doodled hearts*
