Navy Open House

So it was 4.30 am... it came so quickly... ergh* that feeling... have to wake up...

have to wake up...
sleep a while more...
have to wake UP...
it was a battle inside...
guess what? I won.

sigh* 4.30a.m. and its amazing my dad's awake so early at THE unearthly Hour.

off I go to Changi Naval Base.
Everything's so dark, so quiet, so peaceful, such a nice time to sleep.

And then we reached. I was supposed to do a medical cover for the Navy Open House...

and its a SUNDAY!
So, the day started... 4hours passed...

and look at the time... what?! its only 8 a.m. in the morning...

what a long day ahead.

So in the day, there were like 40,000 over people who came to see the ships, and ride some military DUCK Boats, and motorboats around... and played fun fair games... and ate good food... watched a few performances... Fiona Xie was there... her makeup was thick, very thick... looked as though it could crack. haha.

well, where I was, there were mostly young patients. Mostly kids.

Most of them fell down and had cuts and abrasions... yup. and all of them were so cute. haha
there was this boy, who came in, crying and crying and crying...

Doctor asks, "what is your name? what happened? "
Boy, "wahhhhh...hhh.."

So we cleaned the wound with Centrimide(antiseptic).. it was an abrasion on the elbow.. and dressed it nicely. And when we put the final tape to paste the bandage in place... the boy stopped crying. haha.

well, it was fun helping people...

though it was a terribly terribly long long long long day.

End 10pm
and since ChangiNavalBase has no public transport within an area of 5km at least... we tried to hitch a ride out, looked around for lorries...haha

But one of the doctors drove past and gave us a ride to the MRT station...

and finally, we made it back home...

nothing's better than home sweet home...ahhHH feels so good to be back home.

I thank God for my cosy Bed.
