I Find Random Things

It will likely not be a serious thing but, it's all about random things that just appear in between, happen to be in the middle of my usual or ordinary work 😅.

You may think, well that's crazy!.. But, the truth is, to my surprise, there're things happen so randomly 😳. Sometimes, I can't even relate about the "randomness" that happened especially when your mind has fixed with your routine work schedule. But then, in the end, I find that the things occurred so random in between my daily work are really fascinating!

Actually, there are few things happened while I'm working that I find to be different and interesting. It's all about these things that are not going to be happen everyday but, if they do happen, they're so random! 😲.

So, I'm going to mention about the things and how they're suddenly appear without warning. It's something that spontaneously occurs when you're least expecting it. And so now, they're the things just like these...;

Huge Umbrella

I can't really remember and unsure of what significant events that has caused the company gifted a huge red umbrella to everyone...😬. I really don't know what makes the company has the idea of an umbrella to give away... From what I know, umbrellas are commonly gifted by Insurance company, banks or financial institutions or as corporate gifts. And, now also gifted by our healthcare company?...😐. To me, it is rare! 😳.

Anyway, we're receiving huge umbrellas from the company which is good! 😃. So, when I receive my umbrella, I'm really surprise because it's so big and red! And, the stick is thick and strong too! 😁. Suddenly, it reminds me about my old umbrellas where all of them had broken due to the strong wind 😆. I remember that mostly the stick breaks into two and, I think that such breaking of stick or shaft is understandable, when I say... Yes, the wind is so strong and powerful! And, I'm not surprise because, well yes again, we're living in a country that always has monsoon seasons throughout the year. Thus, heavy rain with strong wind is a must! 😂.

So, thinking back to my broken umbrellas, I should be thankful enough to have gifted a strong umbrella especially during rainy season..😊. Sometimes, I do think that well yes, I do really need this huge umbrella (that when I open it, until I cannot see my face and my upper body) with strong stick or shaft (that it will not easily break) for protection from the heavy rain and strong wind 👍. And, hopefully I'm not "flying" just like Mary Poppins during monsoon season! 😅.

Drinking Tumbler

So, we receive a special drinking tumbler from the company as a gift on the special day! 😍. I think, it's a good idea when the company literally knows something which is beneficial to all staff. You may be thinking that a drinking tumbler to give away as a gift is the most common gift to be given away... But, when I receive my drinking tumbler, eventually it makes me thinking that there're times you need to do a lot of work and then, there're times you need to have your drinking tumbler to refresh! 😄. It basically means "balance". We tend to struggle to balance work and take a break. So, whenever you feel life is generally packed with work, just remember your drinking tumbler in between the hours of work!.. It simply means your tumbler reminds you to...

~ Just have a nice drink!

~ Just have a good coffee!

~ Just have a little chat!

~ Just take a rest!

~ Just take a nap!

And I think, these are "the things" that come to mind whenever I see my drinking tumbler where they're literally about "these things" as the useful gifts that come from the idea of a drinking tumbler as a special gift!

Noodle Snack

It has been a while since I last ate snacks 😂. I mean, we seldom have the time for snacking while working, actually.. But, I don't know why that me and my colleagues had time for late night snacks while working on night duty together on that particular one night... And then, I realise for a moment, that night was a bit slow and calm. It was not a busy night as it used to. It felt like as if that this noodle snack seemed to has given us a chill night instead! 😆. And then, suddenly, a funny thought came to mind and it told me, "Hey! You know this Mamee snack costed RM 0.50 back then. But now, it's like RM 2.50 for one packet?" 😂. But then, I asked, "Why are you telling me about the price while I enjoy eating it now?" 😅... Instantly, I come to remember about this Mamee snack!.. When I was younger, I used to call it a "Monster Snack" 😬. Eventually, it became my favourite childhood snacks! 😋. They were popular during my school days. My mom always bought me some of the snacks whenever she went to the grocery store. Or, I just bought it myself from the school canteen for only RM 0.50 cents!

However, it's still my favourite snack until today. And, it does really bring all the childhood memories back in mind and, it all happens so random! 😲. For a moment, I realise that the blue monster is still looking cute to me... So, while enjoying the snacks, why not just forget about the work for a while?

Pair Of Crocs-like Clogs

I think, I used to wear clog all the time!.. We wear clogs for those long shifts and it's no secret that nurses spend long periods walking the wards, so, to ensure long-term comfort and to avoid foot pain are crucial to doing our job to the best of our abilities 😊. Well, the funny thing is, I used to wear Crocs. Suddenly, it turned into a Crocs-like clog 😂. We're allowed to choose from one colour up to three colours only for a pair of clogs... So, for my clog, I get a pair of Crocs-like clogs with two colours. Well, it's still fine with me for the white colour... And then, pink? 😳. Thus, I get the white and pink clog? 😂. I don't know whether the combination of these two colours clog suits my green colour scrub suit.. So, I have white, pink and green altogether. But then, my socks 😬. They're socks come with other colours that are orange, grey and black...

So now, it makes me thinking that it's not only three colours now but even more than three colours! I have white, pink, orange, grey and black colours...😆. Eventually, I come to think that I will have colourful feet! 😅.

Antiphlamine S Lotion

Now I think, this one is really funny 😆. I actually come across to this, a topical analgesic lotion from Korea! It uses to relieve pain associated with joint pain, neuralgia, muscle pain and bruising. It was brought by one of the colleagues for everyone to use! 😁. Suddenly, random thoughts come to mind, saying that... Well yes, we're all getting old 😂. There is too much busyness at work that sometimes there're people who keep telling you that they have neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, waist pain, knee pain, leg pain... And, all the pain from time to time becomes more evident when we getting older. To be honest, I have experienced all of the pain. It just that when it happens almost all together at the same time, that the worst part because it can contribute to fatigue!

Thus, my colleagues and I have to constantly remind each other that we must keep our own view onto our health. It's not only that the patients who have pain or get sick but also we ourselves, having pain or fall sick, too 😥. We are all human beings. And yes, human beings experience pain. Therefore, we need to remind ourselves to always taking care of our body and health!

Actually, there're these small little things that come suddenly and happen to be so random in between of our daily lives. And, most of the time, it feels weird and funny, or crazy, but sometimes you never know how these things happen to be something that can open up your mind or, open up your eyes to understand something, to realise about the truth of something, to engage with the differences and new experiences about something, and so on in our daily lives.

It seems that they're small and random but they can bring a huge and prominent impact in life! However, above all these things, our lives are in the hand of God. God is sovereign. Life is not random. God is in control of what happens, even if we can't figure it out 🙏.
