gerontology

ohgawd. i feel so damn guilty for not updating dear blog. do forgive ur master!
anyways as most of you guys have known, i am currently back to school. today is the third week at NYP! Advanced diploma in gerontology (study of old people to put in simple words). I've always been intersted in this speacialisation. Well first i had an interest in gynaecology but my heart was set on geron since the start. Actually i have no idea from where this love of old people came up.. cuz i was never that close to my grandparents. My belated maternal grandparents always seem to belittle me- well not so severely. more of like when we visited them, they'll always say that im as short/small as ever and never seem to grow up. (which i HATED when my mum said tt to her friends). do i have a choice? my parents are short themselves lor? and im a girl la... aigooyaa~

I was never one who know how to handle kids- So no pediatrics for me.
I always cried at stories abt cancer- So no oncology for me.
I've always hated the thot of running around in an ICU in a collapse- So no med-surg or intensive care.
I know nuts abt bones and its diseases- So no orthopedics.
I've always loved taking care of old senile patients who tell the funniest of stories.
I've always loved the smile on their faces when they thank you.
I love seeing them on good days and hated it when they turn bad (condition-wise).
I've teared seeing many pass on.
Rehabilitation is quite interesting i must say.
Yup im glad to say i love GERONTOLOGY!
So if i comment that some old uncle or auntie on the train is cute, dont give me that funny look yea? I really do find them cute! HAHA


ive always loved my belated paternal grandma. she died when i was in primary six or early sec years. I still remember that one Hari Raya when i was the only one who got $50 cuz she said it was as a gift for PSLE (cant rmbr if it was pre or post PSLE); and i kept boasting to my brothers who were sulking away.. HAHA. She wld always fry chicken wings/ drumlets whenever we come over for a visit (which was not tt often i regret to say cuz they live as far as Telok Blangah and me at Hougang). Nyai (grandma in javanese i think) died of brain cancer. My family and some of my relatives were lucky enuf to kiss her hands and visit her at the hospital before she left the world. In my vague dream like memory i remember kissing her hands goodbye, which we as bloated as balloons due to her illness, as we left the hospital. That was on Hari Raya Haji. That very night we received a call from my paternal auntie who stayed over, that Nyai had passed over to the other side. May Allah protect her. Nyai i love and miss you. Why did you have to leave so fast? You were always so kind and loving. Always with a smile on your face..

life in school beats ward life so bad. the stories we hear abt the ward never seems to get better. the politics, the complaints, the scoldings. gawd i do hope i dont go back to the hell hole when my 8 mths are up. assignments are okay i guess. the only thing is that its a whole lot harder than normal diploma topics. and being 'seniors' they expect us to know a lot more things and be more independent. I STILL WANNA BE SPOONFED! HOWW!~
and the majority of my classmates are all married and have an average of 2 kids each la. how do you bond with a parent? i feel that its a big difference to talk to an adult than to talk to a parent. LOL.
at least there are 2 girls who are interested in kpop! hehe



and im busy trying to influence my colleague who is now my classmate to kpop. Her name's Rahmahwati and she was my favourite senior at work so im happy being her classmate :D
now she's very much into 2Days 1Night and MC Mong. She knows abt Big Bang existence and watches KBS at times.


WISH ME LUCK!
lets spread the kPOP love y'all!! :D
