Today was the first day of PSLE.

I thought I did quite a good job by waking the big girl up, making her French Toast, braiding her hair and writing her a letter of encouragement - with her favourite Sumikko Gurashi design - to wish her all the best.

But this girl, she touches me in ways I never expect and brings joy through the little things she does. Not only does she make life happier for me, she is also my motivation to be a better, braver and stronger mum.

This afternoon, after enduring an over 4-hour wait in school due to a technical glitch during her oral exam and only having a bun and biscuit between 7am to 230pm, she came back home on her own, hungry but not whiny. I served her a big bowl of herbal chicken soup with mee sua which she ate heartily before taking a rest.

In the evening, she helped me to take care of the baby and after dinner, we watched a couple of hours of TV to relax, including AGT and Just for Laughs Gags, because I do think it's more important for her to feel happy than stressed at this point.

Before she went to bed, she wrote this sweet thank you letter for me which I totally didn't see coming and it totally melted my heart. Ironically, it's day 1 of her major exam yet she cheered and lifted me up more than what I did for her. Awwww. And I think I needed this.

Love you so much, my dear Angel. No matter what happens, you know I will always, always be proud of you. Thank you for being you.

All the best to those who are taking their PSLE too! ❤

P.S. She also dropped her molar, which is her 18th tooth, tonight too. Yup, only two more milk teeth to go and her last few visits from Tooth Fairy. This girl is growing up so fast and it's a bittersweet feeling but I am embracing every moment of seeing her mature into a fine young lady.

#truthtuesday December 🎄 motherhood edition

is one day late this week because... I posted it as soon as I wanted to 🤪

Staycation 放輕鬆大過天
Although it was with our children so it was not as relaxing as it could have been...🙂

The lovely staff at @rosewoodhongkong would know... we spent so much of our time talking over my toddler calling "mommymomymommymommy" in a whiny voice or my baby crying for milk. 🙂

We still had a blast though, of course! But more on that later 😏

《為何我們唔應該講「我舊時都係咁捱嫁啦」》

相信90後或00後對「我舊時都係咁捱嫁啦」呢句說話絕不陌生。

近十幾年醫學發展愈來愈逢勃，對病人和醫護權益亦愈來愈重視，例如實習醫生要3日1call、on call要28-36小時、護士病人比例1:14-18等等一直都被批評。不少新世代醫生護士都會lobby system reformation令工作環境更人性化更友善，改善病人權益。

但是！！！我們總是會聽到上一代前輩們以奇異的眼光看我們，以下對白大家定必不會感到陌生

「班後生愈來愈唔捱得」

「當年邊有抽血員、我一個人要抽哂成個病房嘅血」

「當年我實習醫生已經做chest drain、LP、BM 等等，班後生依加做咁少又要supervision，一代不如一代」

「當年邊有post call half day、邊有咁多teaching session，依加d trainee已經好幸福」

下刪幾十種當年醫護有多勇猛而新世代有多whiny $ sheltered又唔捱得又嬌生慣養。

時移世易，的確相對以前，醫護待遇好了小小，但是廿年後的今日，我們可以講

「廿年前邊有咁多paper work，咁多張assessment forms？」

「廿年前邊有咁多”醫療事故”會有議員開記招響你全名鞭屍+蘋果A1頭條？」

「廿年前邊有咁多資助基金要assessment + 填無限張form？」

「廿年前邊有holistic care同biopsychosocial呢個概念？依加興MDT同allied health input去做best possible care，難度不用花多點時間？」

「廿年前authoritative care，醫生叫病人做咩佢地都會做，依加要shared decision + fully inform個病人做同唔做嘅風險，都係要時間。」

「廿年前讀醫學院好多病同藥都係mechanism poorly understood，依加淨係novel agent for cancer & autoimmune + pathway都已經係兩個世界」

無錯，時代不同環境不同，大家的觀點與角度注定都不會同。以前一路都咁運作不代表我們要接受，時代要進步，我們對醫護的職安健和病人權益的想法都要一齊進步。

你覺得一個24小時沒有睡覺的實習醫生去幫病人做入侵性檢查是合理的事情嗎？

你覺得一個醫生巡房或門診只能花3-5分鐘（連開藥+documentation）做得到biopsychosocial + holistic care嗎？

你覺得到2020的今日仍然3日1 call + on call 28-36小時對醫生的精神和身體健康無問題嗎？

踏進2020年的今日，我們不能再舊時舊時舊時，舊時中HIV注定變AIDS再等死，今日都起碼講緊Depot PrEP / 全民Truvada PrEP / PEP，感染後治療都可以U=U, normal CD4 + normal life span。你Stage IV metastatic lung cancer大概都會想用新世代TKI / immunotherapy而不會想用「舊時的化療」吧？

我們不是廢青，我們只是渴望改變這崩壞中的醫療環境、令醫護和病人的生活變得更好。而這份責任我覺得無論邊個世代的人都應該一同負擔。

#唔好再舊時舊時舊時
#MetastaticCa都可以completeremission
#點解個制度唔可以隨時代改變

Hello Youtube Family,

Today’s Vlog:
Disney Disaster,
Who you talking to?
Next time, Tim!
My Magical Birthday

For my 29th birthday, we decided to visit Disneyland as a family. Last time I went was for my 25th birthday. I was so excited as it would be Isaac’s first time. I couldn’t wait to see his reaction to the disney characters. It started to spiral downwards when he decided to fight his nap in the car. He arrived to the park being tired and cranky. Didn’t really have much of a reaction to the rides and parades. We actually had to leave early because his forehead felt a little warm. Little did we know he had been unwell. Poor thing. Felt kinda bad when we got home as he should've been resting. He's spent the past 2 days resting. He’s still a bit whiny but at least he’s smiling again. Either way, I had fun in Disneyland because it felt surreal to return again as a family. Tim kept joking that next time when we return, there will be another =_=“ 10 DAYS UNTIL OUR MOVE!!!

Love, the Bubz family xo
