Woah.. its been a week since I've last blogged.. Time really flies yea?

And BenBen!! you also update your blog more!! XD

Well.. have just ended my 3rd week of very tiring yet fulfilling attachment, my first week of gerontology posting. In case some don't know what geron is, it is about elderly.

First 3 days of working was really tedious and stressful with clinical facilitator asking alot of questions that were long-forgotten, preparing items that we've already lost touch on due to our >6 weeks of holidays.. i could say that almost all of us have difficulty working properly in the ward.

On one of the days, i was even wronged for not knowing simple things like not knowing how to apply cream on patients, and staff nurse saying that i look so blur that i don't seem to know about anything. Other things as well, i felt so argh that day i almost breakdown during shift. Thanks to BenBen that day, i was able to vent my frustration out and let it out.

As i began to get use to the surroundings, things started to be more comfortable.. Back on track, i began to function more like how i always have worked. Felt alot better.. at least i know what i am doing, and the questions that CI asked, i am able to answer more of them.. Something good i guess, cause i am already able to joke and play with some of my staffs, though there are still some who still look as though they are highly ranked though they are not. but that doesn't bothers me, i just want to serve my patients well and be a good nurse/senior to my patients and students nurses when i pass out as a nurse. Don't want to be a stuck-up nurse. (:

Back track abit. On first day of work, with all of us having the same shift, some of the girls went for some good foot reflexology nearby. It was really painful and good. Because i could feel the effects after the massage, it was so good. Woohoo~ Thinking of bringing my parents for a good full body massage one day. ^^

Anyways, have been thinking loads of things, things that links to "Appreciation". Are we able to show our gratitude when someone is good to us? Is our appreciation genuine and constant, or is it just a superficial one whereby you forgets about it the next day? How much are we able, or rather, willing, to sacrifice for those we've said we love to? Or do we even know what appreciation is?

To me, i feel its something real and constant. something that should be kept in the heart always, and really show it out when you have to. It doesn't have to be all the time, but the way you treat the person, it should not be like they've never helped you before. Know the good that people have done for you and remember it, do it unto others to share the kindness of people.

Do something for those who sacrificed for you, be it financially, time, just anything, they will deeply appreciate the appreciation you have for them as well. Its a two-way thing, you give appreciation, you get back appreciation as well.

Do we appreciate the people around us? Love them like we were supposed to? Just like my previous post, it is about marriage, but it also talks about a continual appreciation to the other party.
