Was watching the ever romantic Kate & Leopold on 5 just now and everytime i watch that movie, it just give me a warm fresh hope for love. Not that i'm a real sucka for this kind of emotional movies (or maybe i am..hah) but it's kinda inspirational but yet can feel real sucky at times.
Kate was just like any workaholic career woman who doesn't actually believe in finding the right one after what happened between Stuart and herself. But she eventually fall for someone from the 1870s. And to think she was even willing to go back to the past just to be with someone she love.
It only shows that love makes you do crazy things. Ok maybe crazy sounds a bit harsh. It's more like unexplainable actions. Things that you do without thinking much but rather by just following your heart. It's sweet considering how you see it but a wrong decision and you might just shoot yourself in the head. And when you realise it albeit too late, things ain't just gonna be the same ever again. Never.
Though some may argue with that theory of yours truly, touch your heart and ask whether you've made the same mistakes before. On how you really regret what you did. And how you wish that you didn't act on impulse. How you could just turn back time and prevent from making the same mistake. Would you? Or is there really a reason for everything that happen? I used to believe in that but as time goes by, the belief kinda diminished. I mean, isn't that just a reason to cover up your mistakes? Damage control type? There can't be reasons for everything to happen. No way. But then again, i'm just someone confused and emotionally drained-out right about this time. So what i'm talking here may in fact just be complete nonsensical issues. Or at least that's how i see things now.
Anyone out there who care to give a penny or two?

The experience from both the ambulance and hospital attachment had definately spur me on to work in the medical field 'cause there's where i truly believe i can unleash my fullest potential. Be it as a paramedic or nurse, i'm sure i can get full job satisfaction from it.
True enough the last few days have seen me learning tremendous amount of new skills. Skills that can make or break a sick person's life. On how a girl tried to commit suicide drinking detergent. Or how i managed to read a sad boy suicide letter. And to see the smiles on the old patients' face when they have someone to take care and interact with them. That brings me joy to my heart (Not the suicide cases that is, hah). Feeling terribly emotional just thinking about it. What have become of me. Haha.
I now know where my future lies. For the good of mankind, they all say. I've decided, this is for me. No more being fickle-minded about it. Now just have to wait for NS to finish. Long wait it might be but i be waiting patiently. Now back to SMM. 4 more weeks to go. Just 4 more. Hafta endureee. Arghh. And yeah heard that i'm one of the 10 to convert to MRF (Medical Response Force) once my course is over. You know the guys that wear mob suits 24/7. Yeah that's Mr F (as my staff sgt would cheekily call them) for you. Gosh i'm so not looking forward to that. Sigh sigh sigh.

Been on the net the whole day. Able to finally seach for the release date of the live action Transformer the movie. Releasing in 07/04/07. I'm so gonna be one of the first to catch the movie. It's like the ultimate favourite cartoon show that i've watch so far. Sorry to the Ultramen Family but Optimus Prime and Co holds a softer spot in me. Hee. But too bad they will only base the movie on the first generation of the Autobots. 'Cause in my opinion i would prefer those coming from the second or even third generations 'cause the robots are much more cooler. And 'cause of my favourite Headmaster Jr ain't in it. Sigh.
Speaking about Headmaster Jr, i've finally, after so many years, able to track down an episode from that series. And the first episode of it. How's that huh. I'm content knowing i could exactly recall how i've felt back then when i first set eye on them. I was 6 i think. I swear that i feel as if i've been transport back to the past.
And so lets recap some of my favourite autobots..and errmm..decepticons..
Optimus Prime - If he had been on Earth, he would be a doctor, a mechanic, a scientist and a warrior. But on Cybertron there is no difference between these professions. So Optimus uses his skills to heal and repair- which are the same things to Autobots- to improve the world around him and, if necessary, to fight. Both in power and intelligence, he has no equal. He has the personality of an Abraham Lincoln. He can be immensely kind and his compassion extends to all that lives, including the creatures of Earth. Yet he will battle unceasingly to protect the weak and defend what he believes in. To accomplish this, Optimus knows that the Decepticons must be defeated for all time.
Grimlock - The most fearsome and powerful of the Dinobots, Grimlock would gladly usurp Optimus Prime's role as Autobot Commander if he thought he could get away with it. For now, he's happy to tear into the enemy Decepticons whenever he can and wait for a more opportune moment to try for the leadership. He can be cold and merciless, and shows contempt for those he views as weak, such as humans and even some fellow Autobots. But he is a valiant warrior and his actions command respect from all who are witness to them, both friend and foe.
Remember? - "Me Grimlock me gonna eat your brain out!"
Starscream - Starscream makes no secret of his ambition to overthrow Megatron as Decepticon leader. He is ruthless, cold-blooded, and cruel. In that sense the two rivals are very much alike. But he has a vain side that clearly distinguishes him. He considers himself the most handsome of the Decepticons. He exudes a high-class, urbane air that provides a certain irony to his murderous tendencies.
He looks down at Megatron for being antiquated in his military strategy. Starscream believes the Decepticons should rely more on guile and speed rather than brute, destructive force to defeat the Autobots. Megatron overlooks the potential threat Starscream represents for one very good reason: Starscream is very good at his job.
Soundwave - It is said that Soundwave can hear a fly sneeze. It is also said that beneath his smooth-talking, affable surface beats the generator coil of a blackmailer. Those who know these two facts about him are very careful about what they say within earshot of him. Soundwave is the ultimate opportunist and will use anything he can to advance his status in the eyes of the Decepticon Leader Megatron. He doesn't worry about what others think of him because he knows he is nearly indispensable. Although they all despise him, the other Decepticons pretend to like him rather than get on his bad side. As Rumble explains, "Soundwave always has the last laugh."
Megatron - Love, compassion, mercy are words that have no meaning for Megatron. He has risen to the leadership of the Decepticons by a combination of brute strength, military cunning, ruthlessness, and terror. On Cybertron he was commanding general in charge of all military operations against the Autobots, who referred to him as "The Slag-Maker." It was a title of fear. A title of respect. A title Megatron relished. His banishment to Earth has only made him more bitter and more evil-minded, if that is possible. He aches to return to Cybertron and complete his mission of eradicating the Autobots. But while on Earth he is dedicated to eliminating those Autobots marooned here with him - and his plans go far beyond that. He realizes the Earth is one huge stockpile of metal and fuel resources and means to possess it all, with the aid of his fellow Decepticons. But his plans go even further, plans so grandiose even his fellow Decepticons are unaware: Megatron intends to enslave the entire human race. He allows no exceptions to his motto.
As Prime would famously say.. "Autobots..transform..roll-out.."

I'm down. Down with foodpoisoining. Can't exactly say that it's contagious since Zak just recently contacted the virus. I can't even remembered what food did i take yesterday during the ambulance attachement at Bishan Firestation. But i got 2 days MC for it and miss both my hospital attachment for today and tomorrow. What a time to get sick. I was looking forward for the attachment. Especially yesterday when i was greeted to a world of real-life drama.
How some anxious parents would call the ambulance when their son had mere gastric pains. How a lady dramatically faint due to the scorching afternoon heat. How an old man had difficulties in breathing. And the flavour of the day was when an uncouncious old diabetic lady after given 10% Dextrose solution (to that someone: yes it's dextrose not insulin as most people would call it. let's be more specific now shall we? ) immediately woke up as if nothing had happened. Amazing! That, you couldn't find anywhere and 'though we've learnt about that back in SMM, to see that event actually unfolding infront of me was satisfying. And how Gen the Paramedic Trainee calmly infuse the Dextrose solution by intravenous therapy. If it was me doing it i'm sure i be all nerves and sweat. But then again she's trained to handle all this. While we back in air-conditional rooms (where veins tend to play hide and seek to those wanting to poke them 'cause of the coldness) having the luxury to ask for help from Instructors as cries could be heard underneath the berets that covered the "victims" face. We were pampered literally but hey give me some time and i be sure that i can do the job as well as her. Hah.
'Nuff said, i was kinda disappointed that there wasn't any RTA cases. Not that i'm badmouthing one to happen but i wanna know exactly how to treat a RTA casualty and what's it feel like to be in one. Hell my friend got to do CPR on a dead person. I mean the experience that he got from that. Well cross-fingered i hope Saturday will be a better experience.
'Till then, i'm gonna back to where i need to be. Bed. Hopfully the agony of lazing around in bed, not doing anything and can't eat anything is spared upon me as a new day approached. Peace out.
