1, 2, 3, 4, Goodbye.

One 86-year-old admitted for loss of consciousness associated with low blood sugar.
Two days in the Intensive Care Unit.
Three continuous doses of inotropic agents at their respective maximum dosages.
Four limbs mottling away.

Sometimes goodbye can be a merciful thing to say.

Remembering people like him 

reminds me of what drives me 

in striving to be the best nurse 

I can be.

This picture means a lot to me.
A big shout out to all who volunteered to observe GE13!
 

133:89

Results are out for Malaysia's thirteenth general election.

Dear all, please refrain from reacting too emotionally. Try not to make yourself look like a fool by the words you use and information you share. Be more wise lah.

80% voter turnout. Well done, people. I'm sure we can do better than this come next GE.

What to do in the next three to five years? Register as a voter! Start paying attention to what is going on in the country. Stop complaining.
 

Awaiting finalised GE13 results

I write, as I now wait for the official results. At this moment, BN already gets to form the next government with a simple majority of parliamentary seats.

Many of my friends are expressing disappointments on Facebook, to the point where I wonder if I need to "unfriend" some of these people or just deactivate my account. Deliberately forgetting my password should work too. Not trying to judge my friends, but I really dare not know how many of these people are expressing grief because they have the right to. By possessing the right to grieve I mean having done all that could have been done yet the results came back unjustly. That, my friend, is having earned the right to feel angry, because of love.

If you joined the trend of expressing disbelief and/or sadness over the announcements of polling results, I urge you to keep silence as the people who earned their right to feel anger, make their feelings and thoughts be known. If you do not know what is going on, please do nothing to just follow the "trend".

Please stop showing your cheap support to causes or even peoples whom you do not know so well before.
