Singapore Oldest Person: Sister Teresa Hsu


The supercentenarian was Singapore's oldest person.

According to an announcement on the Heart to Heart website, Hsu's welfare service, Hsu died peacefully at her home on 7 December. She was cremated on the same day,"

Hsu wanted to "depart quietly and peacefully" and left instructions not to make any announcement of her death in the news media, or perform any ceremonies that would "cause disturbance and inconvenience to others", said the notice.

The notice was signed by her co-worker Sharana Rao.

"She has further instructed that no claim be made of her ash by whosoever," it added.

Hsu, a trained nurse, devoted her entire life to helping the less fortunate.

Born in a tiny village in the Guangdong province of China, Hsu traveled to various countries, such as Hong Kong and Paraguay, to help others, before settling down in Singapore.

Here, she served first as an unsalaried matron at Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital for about three years before opening an old folks home, called the "Home for the Aged Sick".

After retirement, she turned her attention to her welfare service, Heart to Heart, where she reached out to needy elderly folks and families.

Yahoo! Singapore last featured Hsu in our Inspiring People column for her lifelong work with the less fortunate. Read more about her life story here.

人世间,值得学习的对象之一。还记得,我还是第三年护理学生的时候, 修读老年护理学时,才有机会认识到Sister 许哲。 http://www.sinchew.com.my/node/230060?tid=2


她是一名护士, 一名令人尊敬的白衣天使。

人生いろんなことがあるよ。

人生いろんなことがあるよ。


所以,每分,每秒,都要好好地生活。

昏迷不醒

好久没有连续八天都一直工作了。

今天难得的一天假,却是一直昏迷不醒,现在才清醒。

这样的情形就是我部分的生活写照。

忘记

有些事情,不是直接了当地说能忘记,就真的能完全放得下。

那种抽心的痛还是隐隐约约地刺进心坎里头。

借用,《那些年 我们一起追的女孩》里头的经典句子来形容我对生的无奈。


































这过渡期,真的是一个很煎熬的日子,动力时常都会被那件事儿呆滞。

我唯有每天都祈祷,每天都自我説服:别让那一次的过失,而放弃了自己原来的热诚。

还记得我以前在我的护理final year project 做的recognising depression helps suicide prevention: 忧郁的人,他们的心情,我特能明白, 因为我也是如此。

在此,真心地为全天下忧郁的人们祈祷,我们都会熬过去的!!!

重新收拾--心情

无论多么地后悔,难过, 懊恼。。。

事情已是事实,过去了就必须放下。

对不起,错在我的失误,我提不起认错的勇气。

这些日子,让我妈,我哥操心了, 实在是对不起。还有,谢谢愿意聆听我与明白我的朋友,给了我无数的安慰与站起来的力量。

重新收拾--心情。因为这件事,我终于了解到,工作只是帮助我成长的一部分,我需要的是一个更开阔的视野。

但,那件事, 永远都会埋藏在自己的心中,会是无奈,会是刺痛,更会是一个警惕。

Chest pain induced by patient

Every hour with more than 5 call bells minimumly....
.......Demanding.......................................to the max, I unintentionally raised voice to him, but in a gentleway, I guess?? until in the end when I felt that I am hypertensive and with pain over my chest, I remained silence doing my care for him, let him knocked here and there, 比手划脚. Sooner or later I think I will get a day of reckoning for treating him like this. Arrr.....

so bad, so bad, so bad............

Poor social history and poor quality of life, and Uncle.......just hope u can wean off ur ventilator and clear off ur bacterimia.

In my heart, I prayed he will be transferred down to high dependency unit, to GW, back to nursing home fast fast fast.....means he can get back his health and most importantly he will have his friends.....

Too lonely to stay in the ICU cubicle, staring the ceiling, watching the boring nurses going in and out doing routine for him. Don't know when, uncle practice the habit of pressing call bell unstoppably ask for something or complain of something that sometimes nurses couldn't get it. Even when he sleeps, his fingers are still there pressing.

Don't know why, I am still having chest discomfort now. What a day!

On adapting the transition of life

Finally, I figured out, why recently, since working, my emotion is fluctuating extremely unstably?

xxxxx

Ya, I am an adult, has already turned into year of 21 this year,

In this significant year, I also enter into the workforce, as a WORKING ADULT, whereby lots of my friends still studying in their university, enjoying their youth time.

From a study adolescent to a working adult, a year where two significant changes happen on me at the same time, from a protective environment to an open environment where life and death are concern, will it be normal that, I say it is a hard environment for me to fully adapt it?

As an adult, I miss adolescence time, I miss my puberty hormone, keep on reflecting to the past, feeling sad and regretful a lot of time, because I wanna go back to my high school time, give me a chance, to go back to make changes in that two years which I find them sucks, I wanna the two years to be meaningful two years, whereby I could manage to get better results than I have done, a happier environment to be than I had. It was too plain to graduate my secondary school like that, I wanna it to be more interesting, because all the while I was mainly stressful on my academics. Undeniable that there is memorable one with some of my buddies, but it was too little...... Although I know, looking back to the past, ain't helping me at all, I just couldn't help it.

And now, being a nurse, graduated this year from nursing school, and got the privileged to pass out to work in highly specialised area, Intensive Care Unit, whereby the sickest people are there, and whereby most of the people working there are with donkey years of experience, and who am I, the inexperience novice. All the while, what make me uneasy is that, when I do reflection what I have done in my work, with all the stupid mistakes I committed, with the negligence that I made which ever cause harm to patient, I started to be paranoid that have I missed out this and that....how are my patients under my care after I pass to others? I worry about my carelessness, and I know being worry ain't helpful, ya, I try my best to be careful to whatever I am doing during my job, being paranoid in checking the dosage of drugs that I am administering, checking and looking on my patients's vitals non-stop, what is happening in the surrounding........But when I go back home, the reflection somehow is being distorted, like what I have done isn't the way it should be......I am overwhelmed with that! Everybody says that, mistakes will make you a better nurse, but it is dangerous to say so, to me, because the one we care for is somebody's loves' one. A lot of time, I wanna find reason to be sick, wanna take MC, don't want to go to work.

I know I should choose a way to be positive, be confident....yeah, I know how to persuade and console myself as I always console others and advice others to stay positive and look forward, move on. And myself is the one on the contrast, who cannot standstill or continue stepping forward and a lot of time, unintentionally stepping backward.

What I can conclude here, biologically speaking, it is the effect of growing hormone, and psychologically wise, it is a normal adaptation period with all kind of emotion when I go through this sociological term, the transition of life...I went through from a child to a teenage, and same things happened whereby there was a lot of complicated feeling and now it is the period of a teenage to a working adult with even more complicated emotions. Thus, yeah, normal to be emotional.

So, be brave, is what I should do now. Back to be an Aries which I used to be. All the sucks will be temporary only. I will see the rainbow one day!

A big smile:)

“想哭, 却发现哭的理由很琐碎。”

“想哭, 却发现哭的理由很琐碎。”

记得去年我说过同一句话。

所以,很多时候,泪只能往回心里流。
