这样的身子。。。

昨夜早眠，

天气凉爽，

外面下着雨，

风扇转一号，

极好的睡眠天。

可我却，

半夜三更，

凌晨三时，

呼吸困难。

身体过冻讯号开启，

左侧翻、右侧翻，

鼻子堵着，

是的，

老毛病没离开过，

鼻子过敏，

。

。

。

感冒

更严重

爬起来，

对电脑，

好让鼻子通回，

已经过了一小时半，

无睡意，

再过四小时，

得到学院上课去，

九小时的课，

不晓得还有命挨吗？

这样的身子，

要怎么在国外过？

郁闷

今天，总是提不起精神来，

还没做完的，还得继续做，

无停歇，没有停止。

真的很想立刻完成， 可是。。。

就是不行。

脑袋空空，懒惰去想，懒惰去处理，

白羊座的特征，开始勤奋，后面懒散。

三月份的心情曲线将会是如何？

也得等到三月尾才知道。

今天心情小Q提醒还真的是满适合自己的心情，

“白羊座今日运势★★★★☆：今天需要放松心情，用轻松的态度去做任何事都不会感到疲累，要是一直给自己压力，反而会忘东忘西，显得紧张而手足无措。所以请多相信自己，凡事按步就班就能达成目标..”

好吧，放松心情，平常心。继续~~~~~~~~

送一首，2011年爱听的歌给自己。。。顺便在这里分享。。。加油。。。

Depressed

Big sign, feel so damn depressed. Would your mood easily to be spoiled by some kind of fig in daily life, wouldn't you? Well, I would. Stupid, it still function well in today early morning, 4am!!! It is malfunction in not a very right ways after wake up.  Not the way of suddenly blackout, but, can't even switch on.

what is that? this 

extra monitor which is not mine. 

*Deep breath* Just save any questions and advises or lectures in trying to fix the problem kay, I did tried every basic things I can. SO~ feeling helpless~

I wish to born smart in able to fix the machine, can I? Oh, freak! 

MF Ruin My Day

MF is one of my subject, Multinational Finance. To be honest, it's a very interesting subject, seriously, because it leads us to know what is the impact if stronger in currency, and mostly there is a calculation part, which my favorite. But it's different story when get teach by an irresponsibility lecturer or tutor. 

He, ask my whole course to redo the assignment, because we fail to perform his 'personal' requirement, well, not all but majority. At least he go through everyone of our work first then only make a decision, can him? Godamnit, he didn't. He asked us to redo while just go through few students, okay fine, maybe he feel he have to reread again but, so what, that's his responsibility to make clear what his personal requirement is. Okay, in good, he let us to redo, for those who had did in wrong way is good to redo then. 

Furthermore, whatever he want, like what? tables, graph, less word, simple, bla bla bla, in simple, he just want a summaries with everything to explain just like what we do it when presentation. Is that assignment is like that? I do't know. He is the 1st lecture who taught us that we need to have less words more graph or bla bla bla..... in doing our proposal in future works. HONESTLY, whatever he want is actually to let him simple to read instead of  say 'read', I gotta replace the Read as See! 

Yet, he ask students to marks our mid-term test! I was like, WT........H, is that we are having secondary school class?

Whatever it is, I take noted, is it fair enough for everyone, how you think so?

不喜欢偷懒，不喜欢把病当借口

 

6月14日 心情日記

夜深人靜，一片寧靜。披著疲勞的身子借用部落格的小世界讓自己放點松。 
四小時的睡眠，並沒有讓自己的頭腦完全清醒。 
迷迷糊糊的告訴自己一定要完成對自己所承諾的事。
 不愛怠慢，只要一開始懶惰就不會再有勤奮的力量。 
其實也不曉得自己到底在做什麼，迷糊至於又氣憤自己沒有達到一定的要求，感覺好似差點什麼，其實，自己最了解。 
所謂盡了力就好啦，其一點力感覺也沒盡。

在別人的眼裡時間還有，卻硬要死今天完成才甘心，也許這就是所謂的，固執！吧！
無所謂，了解我的你，明白這就是我。我，就是這樣。
 别担心，我这儿就睡觉去，因为不好让你担心。实际上，是完成了，但没到佳。不理啦，累，让我不禁想睡。

晚安。

I Miss

I always tick the yellow one.

有时候，我们想笑，却必须要装出悲伤的神情；有时候，我们想哭，却必须要挤出僵硬的笑

容。

做自己喜欢的事，哪怕别人都笑你傻，你也完全可以全身心地去做，只要你喜欢，只要做

这件事会让觉得快乐！

只有自己的快乐才是该在乎的；别怕别人说什么，除了帮你快乐的话，其他都可以不听。这样你的心就简单了，事就简单了，你的快乐就多了。

I miss her~

Babe

If you ask me how do you do? I'll just say I'm Fine and come up with smile on my face. Speaking I'm Fine is always the easier. I suppose to prepare my tutorials presentation, but I've no mood to do it. What I realize is that, Life is being fool if you don't have do whatever things you like, especially, when your emotional is depend on others emotion. This is very stupidity in the world that ever have!

Whatever~ 

At least baby always can warm me up. How happiness if your house have a baby. But, today is the last day my niece stay at my house. It just like when you see or hug a baby, those trouble, vexed will automatically disappear. 2 months had just passed like this. I know time flies, but never know its can be so fast like nobody else. After today, baby will only come back once a week when my sister-in-law off day. It's really a sad thing, tough. 

Bye~

 

I'll update those photo soon~

What? Long time didn't come back my blog, but never know I'll starting to post my blog after a sudden disappearing with a title moody. But I never meant to. I have being gone through a tough day, today. It's just make me feel, "Exhausted". When sometimes, you don't feel like wanna to talk, writing is always a good way.

So, Having a deep breath, just let me fresh up my mind with 'do whatever the hell makes you happy'. Life, still goes on. And Move on! Cheer :) Well, study life is back. Last year first sem. Cool, I've been finally walk till here. But, I'm seriously don't know where or what my future will become like. I have no more the motivation to aim or target, because it's just turn out the way not like I want to be. Fool right, haha, ignore it. 

Oh, my last post is "I'll be back". Yeah, taking a break to stop writing, haha, nah, I've been live with lots April baby, and my laziness is pulling me to stop writing for a while.

The weird feel

If you're TARCians, you'll know today is examination result released date in the business school studies, and yup, I'm one of the 'victim', haha, for my first year and second semester Advanced Diploma Banking and Finance course. Well, frankly speaking, this post might be a little boring, because I'm borrowing my little world here to tell my own little thoughts.

Nothing much, just yea, I Did It! but hate myself immediately ask for more after checked, although, as what I keep mention I didn't put so much effort and aimed like Diploma time. And frank to say that didn't have strong feel on the result I got but worried bout next semester. Year 2. Maybe this is why I didn't have strong feel. If first year is tough, second year'll more tough and more challenging~ "Don't play play!"

To be honested, I always persuade myself to aim for pass, not just only because fear of fail but also it's bring me stressful if aim for high grade. But then, I always blaming why can't I just do it better on this or that exam paper. Why can't I just put effort on this or that paper more, if not, I can get high grade on which which exam paper like others though. But, the thing is I almost forget how hard and tough have been gone through when sitting on those exam paper. Keep on craped on how hate, boring, tired, suck, give up and bla bla bla in the exam period life.(and also when the time doing our assignmentssss! They carries 40% out of 100% in the final) I swear no one felt good in the study weeks. If yes, congrats, you're champion. But, I'm not, Imma not genius, I even need to keep my baby lappy, tv, radio, bed or home away to force myself study in the library or somewhere else that don't have electronic entertainment. Gosh, too over, but it's fact. Haha! Here, Thanks Dan borrow your silent house for me to study, or else I'll die. =P And, thanks jie listened my crap and also your lovely encouraged!! And others also~

So, friends, who're sitting on your mid-term test or busying on your assignment, believe me, do it one shot better or the best on it. Because, if work hard, result wont mistreats you. Those hardness and toughness are  gone fast. And yet, I've to improve also! haha. Stop here, No! I believe the enemy is always ourself, hehe! Be myself, do not ask for hard harvest! muahaha!

Somehow, many friends shout study is better than work! This is strongly remind me to cherish for the one more year study time. So, play hard, study smart, study hard, and anything, haha! cheer up！Wish I can do better on next year and everyone too!

Headache

Weather is getting hot, hotter and hottest. 

I super dislike, feel vexed and easy to get anger. 

Headache is visiting me again. Today might get to my bed earlier. 

Just feeling vexed. Vexed till the max! 

Am allergic to the pill. I can't eat any pill to comfort my pain. 

This is my fate. I've to bear those pain that attack to me.

Sorry that if I've hurt you on my this situation. Because I can't control it. 

Am very suffer! But, I've no way to do it.
Gonna away from comp immediately.

烦躁

最近的我，其实心情非常地烦躁* o(‧"‧o ）皱眉头*我不晓得是什么原因。通过网际网络找到了认为应对的原因和解决办法。不知道那些办法是不是很有用，可是呢，看后对自己了解了不少，心情也缓和少许。*(^-^) 欢喜*

我不喜欢被这种负能量一直纠缠在我的脑子里，身体里或是周围。这不但自己感到不快乐，而且让周昭的人也遭到不幸福。如何心情烦躁，就是会莫名其妙胡乱的发一下脾气，可是，也不见得发泄完后回得到解脱或是开心一点。赖天气很热，赖别人不够了解我，来自己的生活乏味。*(╯^╰〉 一脸苦瓜*

看了这篇和女性朋友的荷尔蒙有关的文章，得到了一点点地答案。问题是，我不认为单单只和女性荷尔蒙有关而已。再看下去的这一篇，真的给了我不少的帮助。

你是否厌倦了你的工作，你的学习或你的生活？

无聊，是一个复杂的过程。造成无聊的原因也有很多，最常见的就是你不知道做什么，怎么做。也可能是觉得想偷懒，或者只是觉得累了，不想做事情。

我没有工作，但是我有考试。我不敢要求什么，我想及格就好，我尽力了。*(-.-)=3 松ㄌ一口气~* 只是，在埋头苦读时对这千万个英文字母轻声地在呐喊“好无聊啊”。现在的我草草了事，知道要做什么的我，又很懒散。我也许就是那一种爱新鲜感的人吧！*>_<极度郁闷*

文章的下一步是这些这样写着，下面的这些内容能帮助你克服无聊和心情烦躁。一共提供十一种方法。

我们来看看吧~

1。试着找出你无聊的原因：

如果你无聊是因为你重复做同样的事情，那么尝试做一些别的事情或者用别的方式来做同样的事情。

（对阿！我爱看电视，可是已经无趣了，好看的都被我看完了。）

如果让你无聊的事情是一个体力活，试着在干活的同时听点音乐。

（这个我可以去找找新歌，但懒惰叻~）

如果因为你的疲倦或者懒惰而觉得无聊，就小睡一会，毕竟大部分人的睡眠都不是很充足。

（看吧，中啦，我就是懒惰，可是我不爱睡午觉）

如果休息以后还是觉得懒得动，你就要说服自己必须去做，哪怕只是其中的一件事，一个小步骤。

（真的是应该试一试）

如果因为你想做的事情却不能去做而无聊，试着想想别的办法来做这件事。（不晓得）

如果你觉得没什么事情做，可以先做点运动，这有助于让你想好该做什么。（运动，暂时还不能）

2。改变自己的想法。

你的想法会影响你的行为。通过改变你的想法，你会对生活产生不同的态度，并从中得到启发，让自己树立目标。这时，你会积极地构建你的生活，这样你就不会觉得无聊了。

（我就是那种到了无聊的极点，我就会自然改变的人，宝贝常常说我变来变去，就是这样啦~）

3。激发想象力。

通过想象来刺激你的想法。想象一下你想去哪里，你想成为什么样的。利用你的想象力来模拟你想象中的生活，想象的奇妙之处在于，你可以创造任意你想体验的东西。

（这个我没有试过，可是可以尝试。）

4。培养好奇心。

培养自己对周围发生的事请以及自己发生的变化的好奇心。你觉得生活枯燥，是因为你重复一些习惯的模式。通过培养好奇心，你可以主动地想想事情还可以按照什么模式去做。

（对我来说，这个行不通，因为我不知道要以怎样的心情来培养，我觉得好奇心是天生的。）

5。培养兴趣爱好。

培养自己的喜好，比如绘画、演奏、烹饪、钓鱼、徒步旅行等等。如果你对某一项比较精通，你可以把这些技巧教给别人，这样也能避免自己无聊。

（我天生就爱绘画，只是懒惰动，烹饪我已经在准备中。）

6.和别人聊天。

如果有人在你旁边和你一样无聊，你们算是聊到一起了。通常你们会开始谈论自己现在是多么无聊。如果你能找到一个很好的人聊天，你的烦躁会很快消去，你也可能会学到一些东西。

（昨天才做的事，是有效啦，不然今天也不会故意找这篇文章来读。）

7.做一些运动。

去散散步，或者做一些身体的锻炼。写下 10 件你可以做的事，然后开始按照列表去做，来克服身体的惰性。

（这个真的是要很有毅力咯！可是，如果我要做，我一定做得到。）

8。记录你的想法和感受。

万一你意识到让你苦闷、烦躁的原因，你可以把它记录下来，不时翻一翻，看看你的记录反映了你怎样的心情。你也可以通过Blog记录自己的想法和感受。

（正在进行当中。。。。）

9。找一些快乐的事情去做。

看书、听音乐，或者出去逛逛，体验一些新的玩意。看看电影或者玩玩你新买的iPod。

（我不想花不需要花的钱~）

10。把你希望做的事情列一个清单，当你无聊的时候，拿出来看看哪些事情适合你去做。

（不错的方法。）

11。回避令你厌烦的人或者环境。

如果因为周围的人或者所处的环境使你感觉无聊、厌烦，你可以回避一下。虽然不可能完全摆脱它们，不过，你可以暂时避开它们，给自己一天空间来做自己喜欢的事情。

（也许吧~可是人是贪心的，要得会越来越多。）

最重要是不要抱怨什么，可是我就是做不到！

如果你也在烦躁希望你的心情会好一点。因为继续这样只会感到更累，不值得呗！

Terrible

I'm emo. Ha! I don't know why, Hormone secretion? Ha! might be! =p I feel like I just wasting my valuable time do the things that is nothing for me from yesterday.

A confusing mind

Ya, i know, there is been a long time i didn't update my blog. Instead of state out any excuse, I think i just start my blog. There is nothing happy stuff to share out, no picture. Just... i'm writing a diary now.

Dear diary,

I'm facing a final exam now, my first semester advanced diploma exam. The thing is i don't have put so much effort on it. I just, feel that it is annoying me. In fact, this is not the way i want to be. But, I had chosen. Well, I really scare i can't get well in my exam. I actually don't expect so much like Diploma time. As the important is i want to enjoy my life, i don't want to stress up myself.

Most propably i will not going to UK in short period. Maybe this make me don't have the motivation to carry everything now. I don't have the AIM now, and i stay at the situation of hope i can going to UK. But, this thinking has make me confusing, losing and no motivating.

Ya, this is the point. Why not i just don't expect so much and just do my best in this 2 years. After that work, this is also the way. DearDear, i need you to control me right now =)

Expect much, suffer much.

I am who I am, Just do my way. =)

Since when i starting to be follow others mind and don't think carefully, Haiz, i want to meet S1 sisters.. As i can discuss this suff with them and they always can give me good advice.

I lost my direction and loss confident

Actually, I doubt and doubt for 1 month. But, have no answer yet. If still "like this", i will just behave like secondary school. At the end of the day, i will just give up everything. I can't able find a way to spread my emotional.

Accident

Just having an accident at prima setepak there. The uncle is so rude. where got ppl T-junction still moving his car, and still want to say is our fault. I pray my mother really get what she want.

I feel i very useless. I don't what i can do at that. But this is my good lesson. Next time have this situation again. No matter how, I will take picture and record down everything.

I must do that.

Different experience *Last minutes*

Visited

Yesterday, went to visit grandma(Ah Ma) which was fetched by xiao gu Ah Mat. i went with my mother. It is nothing much to describe. Once saw her, just only one word can be described, HEARTBURN;心痛.
She is thin and and her body is full of tube, her hand is so swollen. Her heartbeat is around 102 when talking and 98 when no talk, imagine how suffer when grandma talk.

But, according to my relatives said today is ald good enough. Youngest uncle is stay at the hospital but at outside because that have the time to visit grandma which is 12pm-1pm, 4pm -7pm, 10pm-12am. All my relatives is staying at the hotel which nearby the hospital.

I heard my third aunt said, that day Ah Ma keep want to sleep in car when on the way come to hospital, which also her heart is cant function normally, but my aunt keep not allow her to sleep!!! Just can't sleep!!!

On the way there was the hot raining day, i pray deep again.

Worrying 2

I call dad today, once i come back home. But, he is on the way going to his boss house, which locate in around The Mines. Which means, i can't going to visit my grandma(Ah Ma-Hokkien). But, dad has going to visit Ah Ma.

Just a few minutes, once dad back. I ask for the situation of Ah Ma immediately. Dad say, Ah Ma is moving from ICU into CCU(Critical Care Unit), Ah Ma can regconize people and say Ah Ma's heart is no so much power and also diabetes is keeping high. Actaully, i don't have the chance to visit Ah Ma, i'm so worrying because dad keep say when move to the IJN(Institute Jantung Negara;National Heart Institute) only bring us to go visit Ah Ma. I'm thinking Ah Ma sure very thin now. Haiz~



The different between ICU and CCU, from howwhatwhy.com Forum.
"ICU generally stands for Intensive Care Unit while CCU stands for Coronary Care Unit. The latter will get ONLY critically ill patients who are there because there is cardiac decompensation. Things that get people admitted to a CCU include: ST-elevation MIs, Cardiogenic shock, severe refractory congestive heart failure, primary malignant arrhythmias, intractable angina requiring balloon pump etc.....all very cardiac things. Patients can be intubated in a CCU, but if they are being intubated, it is only because it's secondary to the real problem which is the heart.

The ICU is for critically ill patients who need blood pressure support or respiratory support but it's not due to a primary cardiac problem. This includes things like septic shock, hypovolemic/hemorrhagic shock, severe pulmonary conditions resulting in respiratory failure (like a bad asthma or COPD exacerbation or a pneumonia), any person who has been revived after a cardiac arrest, fulminant liver failure, large strokes, status epilepticus etc.


CCU meaning critical care unit is somewhat of an antiquated term--you won't hear it as often nowadays. The critical care unit in terms of what you're talking about is basically patients who need extra monitoring that can't be done on the floor (e.g. patients on insulin drips) or patients who are on their way to being intubated, but you may be able to ward it off (e.g. COPD exacerbations you start on BiPAP), but these patients are not sick enough to be in the ICU. You may hear these units referred to as "step up" or "step down" units. "
