Work was hectic today. Hardly had a break. I didn't even eat a proper meal. KKH's Children's Emergency was packed. There wasn't a lull at all during the whole time I was there. The waiting time was close to 4 hours! So you can just imagine what could happen when people are made to wait for that long. Parents became demanding. It was hell.

"When is it my turn?", "This is ridiculous you know.", "The numbers are not moving.", "We have been waiting for hours now and my child is sick!", "How much longer do we have to wait?", "This is ridiculous. Make your system go faster!", "So my child is not sick, not an emergency? They don't have the priority?".

Oh my God. Seriously. Is it OUR fault? So what if your child has fever? Almost every patient here has a fever. What do you want us to do? Make them all stand in a line and hose them down? I just don't find having a fever for 2 days is an emergency, unless the child seems utterly lethargic or dehydrated. It's so irritating. They have no idea what an emergency is. Argh! One of the demanding parents made one of my staff cry because she (my staff) was super damn frustrated. She had to hide in the tea room to get herself together and our Sister went to talk to the parent. Seriously. I think nurses should get a bloody raise.

Anyway, good thing about today is, I like the staff I'm working with. Plus, *shriek + fits*, I did bandaging with Dr. Benny Loo! And we conversed! And Dr. Derek Quah! Oh my God! I laughed with him today. Haha. I don't want to say more. Later, what people will think sia.

I love A&E! Nurses and doctors work very closely together. We even eat in the same room. Unlike in the wards or OT. I meant the CGH OT, I don't know about other OTs. Doctors eat in one room and nurses in another.

On to another topic. Yesterday, I went for my driving lesson. I learnt how to do a U-turn. At this cross junction, while doing a U-turn, I heard this super loud and long horning. I really thought I was doing something wrong and dangerous like turning into oncoming traffic or something. It was only when my instructor spoke up that I realized the horn came from ME! Hahahaha. I horned at myself. I must have accidentally pressed the horn while turning the wheel like some kan-chiong woman. Haha. Scared me half to death. Paiseh sia. But my instructor was ok. I got him as an instructor 3 times already. He's one of my favourite instructor. He already recognizes me. Haha. Embarrassing. My instructor said everyone was looking at me during that self-horning period. Good thing no one will recognize me.

After lesson, guess who I saw! Azfar! I just reached the bus stop and being me, I'm the kind who don't look around at people. So then, I got a text message. It was from Azfar. It said, "I think I saw you!". And I was like "Where?" and I started looking around. I realized this guy standing in front of me, which looked like Azfar but I wasn't sure. And he was using his handphone too. Smiling at it. Then he replied "You're at the bus stop right?". Then I actually stepped forward to approach him but when I look at his side view, I was like eh? Is that really him? Since I didn't want to embarrass myself twice on the same day, I quickly stepped back and then replied "Yea.. and you're right in front of me. I think." So I watched the guy in front of me read his text on his phone and I saw him smiling and then he turned around. Hahah, yup, it was him. Who would have thought we'd meet at the driving centre? Haha. Like his usual self, since the MI days, he teased me. Lembab, dia kata I? Kurang asam.

Anyway, I wanna start small and simple and cheaper first.
