We went to surprise her during her sleep last night at 12am.Hahaha, after that we went out for supper.
Milo flourless cake!
so today is xin's birthday.
Last night at around 10:30, i asked sj if she wanted to surprise xin at 12.
She said yes so i said we should bake a cake for her haha but sadly, we didn't have any flour in the apartment.
So i suggested to bake the vico cake!
(1)Turn on the stove to medium heat and melt the butter.

Haha obviously, we didn't have measuring cups and all so we just add the ingredients like a pro~
The ingredients (cough, cough) used for this cake are:
around~~

1/2 cup of butter
2 tablespoon of sugar
1 egg
1/2 condensed milk
1/2 cup of milo powder
1 cup of nestum
1/2 of milk powder
(1)Turn on the stove to medium heat and melt the butter.
(2) Whisk the sugar, egg and condensed milk.
(3) Add (2) to (1). Stir it till the egg is cooked.
(4) Mix the milo powder, nestum and milk powder.
(5) Add (4) to (3).
(6) Refrigerate the cake when it is cooled to room temperature. If can, leave it overnight.
Originally, people use horlick powder instead of milk powder and vico powder instead of milo powder.
But at 10:30pm, these were all we got for a cake :P

End of semester two clinical placement
Well, yesterday was the last day of my clinical placement for semester two.
Honestly, i felt that the three hours spent in the ward every week were too little for us. But i'm definitely not ready to work longer yet. I know too little to help!
I'm trying to remember some interesting diagnoses that i've come across for the past few weeks.
1. hypokalemia
This was quite frightening actually..The patient's hands and legs were tied to the bed and she kept staring at Z, A, and me when we were sending her to the radiology department for CT scan. We were not sure why she was tied to the bed, but we suspected that she just had a seizure.
2. suspected tuberculosis
This was a silly one for Z and me. We kinda freaked out when we found out that the patient whom we interacted with in the ward earlier might have tuberculosis. Z and I even tried to hold our breaths when the patient talked to us. I FEEEEL REALLYY BAD! Well, actually the doctor just asked us to check the patient's SPO2 so i only touched her finger. But i overheard the doctor saying to the nurses that they should isolate the patient. Haha... I'm not sure if i have been vaccinated for tuberculosis before..but i read that People with TB infections only pose a risk to others when they are sputum-smear positive (meningitis.org). So should be alright. ><
3. TB meningitis
I helped a nurse to turn this patient for diaper changing and to change the bedsheets. It was my first time assisting in changing diapers. The smell was bearable. Not as bad as the smell of pressure sore. I think this patient is conscious because when i asked her dad from which hand i can take her blood pressure, she raised her left hand up.
4. not sure
If i'm not mistaken, this patient either has hemiplegia or weakness in right hand. She had tracheastomy so she couldn't speak as well. Before I know she can't feel her right hand, i asked the family which hand do they usually use to take blood pressure, they said left hand, but the patient wanted us to try in the right hand. I didn't really want to do that but we put the cuff around her right hand in the end.
I also remember one patient with body temperature of only 28 degrees! I forgot to touch her forehead but A told me that the forehead was really cold. I really thought the thermometer was faulty at first!
