1st Semester Clinical Posting

Little boy from no where

Hmmm... My partner in crime is "dating" with her "husband"

I like this photo...

Beautiful beach... though it's kind of dirty

I love playing with water!!

Everyone!!! IMU version of HSM 3

In the girls room... After tiring day of posting in PD...

Me... Praveena!! How dare you put horns on me?

Veeena....

Laughing gas fever! *nursing diagnosis*

Look how they enjoyed themselves

Fight is going to start..

Started...

Am not sure who is the winner...

So cute. XD

Looking into the sky..

Learning how to take photos... Sorry.. cut someone's head as well

They are waiting for us and got bored.. So they started "acting" at the roadside.

Yeah!

Kelly is taking my blood pressure. I was having blood pressure at 110/70.

Hahaha... I'm back finally. I just finished my very first test in IMU. It was Basic Medical Sciences 1. Sighs... It was slightly confusing yet I have to finish it after all. That's one of the reasons I lost my pace in blogging. Next week it would be my IT test. Hahahaha...*laughs* I never concentrate during in IT class. The most boring lecture ever! The lecturer taught me about how to use e-mail, blogs, Ms Word and Ms Powerpoint and guess what? History of computer too... I have five chapters to cover for this coming exam. I also started with nursing skill practice with taking blood pressure, pulse and temperature. It's kind of fun to pretend as patient. My batchmates said that I was a good patient because I have the "sick" look and my heart beat was loud enough for them to listen. Is that a compliment or an insult??? hahaha... I don't mind either. Yup.. I got to go and catch up with my studies. I still haven't touch my assignments for Philosophy of Nursing and IT. *sighs*

Hectic!

*sighs* It has been almost a month ever since I wrote a blog. I can't say that I'm busy all the time. It's rather inconvenient for me to log online cause my house doesn't even have internet line. First week was merely Orientation, Second week was Introduction to Nursing, and now I'm currently attending Third week of lecture. Friends? Hmmm.... not many.. But I have one close friend. I met her one the first day of Orientation. She is rather funny and friendly. Her name is Malathi. She is an Indian from Malacca. Hahaha... I'm from Malacca too... I was chosen to be the Batch Representive of Nursing, N1/08. Hahaha.. Just for First Sem. I guess my coursemates should take turn to take up responsibility to be class monitor. I have about 2 more months before I proceed for clinical posting in Oct. Gam ba de for myself. I'm not sure whether I have time to blog. I'll try to if I have the time.

Life in IMU

Yeah. Finally I have settled down in IMU. *sighs* I'm kind of homesick and missing all my loved ones.

My Grandparents

It has been few days I neglected blogging. Not that I want to, but I'm just being busy during the weekends.... I visited my grandma and first uncle, Di Ku. My grandpa has went to China for holidays. Hmmm... I didn't get to see him... T.T My grandma is 75 years old and my grandpa is 82. Well, I thank God that they are still healthy even though they do have health complications.

Both my grandparents are rather funny. Their voices are loud till you can hear them from a far distant. Wow... Never underestimate elderly people. They can be more energetic than any other younger age people. Hahaha... My grandma cooked dinner for my family.. Ha. Though I was having headache and no appetite to swallow anything in, well her food that she cooked did enter into my stomach. Simple dishes but it's the love that she poured out that makes me contented. I didn't complain, I just eat! Hehehe... Why headache? Car sick lor. I can't sit in the car for long.. It makes me feel giddy and about to faint. ( a bit lar)

Mixed Feelings

Today is the day I went for my contract briefing with IMU. Technically, I'm supposed to feel happy as I have secured a Scholarship in my hands... But.. Why?? I still feel awful.. My dreadful days is coming...

Time to study and study. I'm not sure whether I can handle pressure well. Usually, I'll get mixed up and not knowing what's happening to me. As I move to the next phase of my life, I felt everything is tumbling towards me. It's so heavy....

Rachel!!! Rise Up..
But.......

I guess I should make myself sane back! Later!

I'm Blessed

Today is a brand new day for me. *sigh* I still have 2 more days to wait to sign my Bond Agreement with International Medical University. Until now, I still wonder why I was accepted for the scholarship. Well, thanks and praise to God for His Blessings over me. Year 2008 has been a very very blessed year for me.

One day, I was in the midst to enroll myself either in public university or pursue my dreams in private university. I applied for Nursing in public university, USM knowing that my grades isn't enough to full the requirement.... Well, no harm trying actually since there is 8 choices for me to make. I also applied into IMU at the same time. My dad said if you don't try, you wouldn't know the outcome and you might regret one day if you didn't take any action. This quote is suitable for me as I always love to procrastinate. Most of friends are moving fast but I'm moving just like a turtle. Hahaha... Without my family support, I wouldn't have what I have for now. He took me to the NAPEI exhibition to open up my mind and in my heart I was saying 'lazy lar, later need to work some more'. That was a Sunday, A Sabbath Day. After an hour of collecting brochures, we left and I proceeded back to my workplace. I carried a large Taylor's College plastic bag to my workplace. I was supposed to go through it during my working hours. Guess what??? Hahaha... I didn't. As usual, lazy ma..... (plenty of excuses)

My dad went through those brochures and came across with the IMU scholarship application details. Wow... Alot of money given .. In my mind, Haiya...cannot wan lar.. Somemore have to write an Essay on Why I want to be A Nurse for 1500 words and an Essay on Why I need th Scholarship. With my english standard, I freaked out lar. I wasn't determined enough to write the essay. At the time, all I thought is IMPOSSIBLE..... *afraid* Of all these years I have been writing essay (I should be able to do it) but all I had in mind was just fear. Besides, I got to know about the scholarship quite late. So I have only one week to complete it . And I was working at the same time. Waaaaaaa....... (almost cried)

Well, after a week with all the struggles writing an essay, I DID IT. Without my loved ones supporting me, I know I wouldn't be able to get through this. They have prayed day and night for God's covering over me. They also read my essay and Jon even edited my grammatical errors.. hahahaha... (Now I regret not blogging earlier, have to tell whole story) Then, I went to IMU to send my application forms and spoke to one of the Senior Executive of Student Affairs for more information on the Scholarship. Hahaha.... I almost fell asleep. All because the night before, I slept at 5am and woke up at 7am. Two hours of sleep, not enough ma. Then, she said 'Are you listening to me?'. I was embarassed. eeesshhh.... My dad said if she is not concentrating, she doesn't deserve the scholarship. *sarcastic* At the moment, I thought my chances to be shortlisted is low. So careless man!

A week has passed. My dad was too anxious and called up the person in charge again. She said I am shortlisted for the interview. I received a call from my dad... He said do you want the scholarship badly? I was like.... I didn't get is it? Then, he said No. I was like.... huh??? I got it ah??? I was overwhelmed, too happy. I lost my senses at the moment. I messaged Jon about it. Hahaha.... He was happy for me. I was too.... Well, all happy la... My essay got through...

Then, I went for the interview feeling nervous and blurred too. I wasn't prepared and all I did was a short prayer. Everyone was praying for me. That's sufficient for me to stay strong and not being nervous. After half an hour of interview, I came out with a heavy sigh *sigh*. Finally, I finished the race for now and I can rest in peace. (not die ah, just resting) I didn't really wait for the results as I leave everything according to God's will. Just keep praying.......


Then, IPTA results came out and I was accepted for Computer Science in USM. I was wondering whether I should go Penang or wait for the scholarship results. Sigh......... Wait again......


.......Waiting................


Finally, IMU called me to inform me that the scholarship results is available. They said I got it. I was like .... huh??? (blurred again) Wow...... That's the only thing I said... And Thank you so so much~!!!!! I called my dad and he can't contained joy. Too HAPPY!!!!!.Hahaha.... I called my koh koh, he was slightly too cold .... *shiver* but I know he was happy for me too.. He said Praise God and give all glory to Him. Yeah... Amen!!! My mum heard the news, she practically hugged me.. Wow... *touched*


Haiya... finish story lar.. no ending wan ... hahaha... anyway, this is how God showers me with His Blessing. I will not fail to seek Him to build my personal relationship with Him. Thank you Jesus. I love you so so so so so so so much, JESUS!!!


John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Amen.

Soft Acoustic With Ethereal Blend

Hey, I'm a new user obviously if you have just visited my blog. Basically, I'm still exploring around what's all about blogging. Well, the lyrics below are my favourite childhood songs. One day, I went into a Christian Book store, Salvation in Subang Parade with my parents when I was 10 or 11 years old (I can't remember..XP) . I was walking around the shop till I got closer to the cashier. Guess what?????? Cheap cassettes.. very cheap.. One cassette only cost RM1.90, hahaha... It was closed-out cassettes. Well, cheap things do attracts me since I'm kinda stingy in spending. However, never underestimate cheap or closed-out cassette because this cassette that I bought is more than it's worth. Ta Da!!!! It is Michelle Tumes album named Listen. One of my favourite songs are Healing Waters, Rest My Soul and Feel. Wow.... Hehehehe... I just wanna share my interest.

ARTIST: MICHELLE TUMES

ALBUM: LISTEN (1999)

Title: Rest My Soul

On golden sands, in winer's fire

On silver stars,in tempest skies

In any age or place

Confess the need to say

CHORUS

Rest my soul, rest my eyes

In the peace I long to hold

Be still my dreams, lay beside me and

Oh, rest my soul

Oh, rest my soul

Oh, rest my soul

In kingdom's past and future's page

In love's embrace and hatred's rage

In any age or place Confess the need to say

CHORUS

Chasing folly catches pain

Like being (whispered in backround)

Caught in the wind of ahurricane (sang)

There we fly to reckless depths of shame

Rest.

CHORUS FADE

Title: Healing Waters

I've built a bridge

All of my strength cannot cross over

I stand at the edge

The end of a road that I have followed

Sinking from the weight of my own world

Wanting the waves of Your ways to wash my feet

Healing waters

Healing waters

Solace flows

Through the river of forgiveness to my soul

Oh, I need You

Healing waters

Pour over me

Water to clean all my intentions

Baptising streams

I swim in the freedom of redemption

Floating on the sea of purity

Knowing I can dive in the love that rescues me

Memories are raging high

Floods so deep they touch the sky

All the things I've done to You

All the parts of life untrue

Healing comes from outstretched hands

Saving me from what I am

Carry me

Carry me

Title: Feel

Hark! The wind of passion

Swiftly weaving over your soul

Bless the surge of thunder

Rolling onto your shore

Greet the deep emotion

That sleeps beneath the ocean floor

Watch elation bound

Release its furious roar

CHORUS

Feel! Feel! Feel! Feel what you long to

Feel! Feel! Feel! Feel what you long to feel

Pound the sands of courage

Reach for clouds that cover the foam

Dance with bold expression

Leaping from silent abodes

Face the wild commotion

Free restraint and struggle no more

Let the moon raise all that

Dwells in the tides of your core

CHORUS

Weep, sigh, laugh, cry

Flee from the snares that wish to deny how you feel

Hope, live, love, yearn

And feel, feel what you long to

CHORUS
