Today marks the 2nd day of my attachment over at IMH. :) To be frank, I had "stigmatised" and "sterotyped" IMH as a scary and horrible place before I went there. :x Until today, I find that IMH is not that scary and horrible as what I've thought. :) It's a fun-filled place, containing all the joy, smiles, laughters, anger and frustrations and tears of the patients. It's actually a very heart-warming place. :) Through interactions and structural activities, I've changed perception towards the patients and the hospital. :) They're such nice, friendly and warm people! :D
The Assistant Nurse and Mr. Singa are very very nice persons! :)
Yesterday when we just stepped into the ward, all of us were freaked out, 'cos basically all the patients were waiting for us and waiting at the glass door. x.x! ALL OF THEM! x.x!
And one of them even banged the door and tried to rush out of the ward. :\
It was an "exciting" experience for all of us, LOLS! :x
Mr. Singa gave us a long lecture and orientation in the lecture theatre in the morning, then toured us around the hospital premises. :) The hospital is damn HUGE and it feels like a resort to us rather than a hospital! :) Super condusive environment for the patients to get well, and hopefully all of the patients could get well ASAP! :) :) Today, we've engaged the patients in some structural acivites, for i.e. , morning exercises, art and crafts, board games, UNO stackers, UNO cards, etc! :)
Super fun! :D I've enjoyed and loved every moment I had with all my dearest patients. :)
I love interactions with patients, 'cos from there, I can understand them and assess their cognitive level better. And I simply love making new friends! :D
Today I had a nice day with Ivan. :) He drew for me, sang for me (his voice super nice! ^o^), chatted with me and laughing with me! :) So sweet. ^^
Then the stupid Rong Yue kept on teasing me and him. x.x!
By the way, I shall continue updating tomorrow 'cos I'm seriously seriously very sleepy and tired right now, cos I went for work just now from 6-11pm after I knocked off from IMH. x.x"
So I shall go sleep first! :D NITES and JIA YOU OH RAYMOND! :D
Sayangs, so poor thing, going for out-field for 3 days. Raymond, be strong and hang on there! You can do it! :) JIA YOU! :) I love you and miss you terribly loads too! :) I'm seriously seriously looking forward to FRIDAY! 'Cos I can finally get to see him on that day. :) ILY.
LOVES! :)
LOVE;
Angeline :)
