I m going to burst. Haven felt so full for ages. Went to ate tung luk paramount buffet which was opp parkway. Hmm the food was not bad, of cox some dishes were so-so n weird but some were superb. 8 of us ate 5 whole fishes think it was tilapia steam n fried with chef's special sauce haha, 1 crispy chicken, think 10 big plates of sashimi, 2 pots of ostrich meat, beef brisket, 2 plates beef cubes, 1 pot of braised duck wings n fish maw(yum), scallops + celery, prawns, disappointing non-crispy peking duck, 2 plates of youtiao sotong, yam ring sweet n sour pork,2 big plates of veg, 3 plates of seafood mayo salad(prawn n scallop), herbal jelly, almond jellies, honeydew sago, redbean pancake yum!, icecrem puff and etc.

And so there goes abt 1/4 of my perceptorship pay. $42/pax. Sobz and burps.

My desk is slowly evolving into an exam state-like condition. I think i log in into micromedex like everyday, and steven pray, katzung, pharmaco n pharmpract notes all sprawling ard. N yea results are out. Hmm i think i am thankful for my results, i got the same exact grade combi as last sem, so there's no improvement from sem to sem but k la overall cap still increasing due to my cuiness in yr1 haha. And as expected my pharmanal was abit cui tiao cox i alr had no mood to study liao. only can blame myself for getting distracted n not pia all the way. was thankful tt i managed to scrap a B+ for changing tho my project only got B and still got deducted 2 marks for inproper referencing. so dumb. but yay no need to S/U~ Phew. Official halfway mark le. gosh.

Finally no more high sch musical soundtrack in the store. Power98 rox man! haha. BUt i dun think the promotion has ended yet jus tt prob everyone buay tahan so decided to stop playing it today.

Attachment starting to get abit routine, and I am starting to think that i do not wan to take this path in future. Ppl simply take u as Dr-know-all, 1stly they think tt u are a real doctor, they expect u to know everything in the store and do anything and everything u can to solve all sorts of problems they have, be it medical or nonsensical/common sensical problems they have. I feel like i m training to be a jiabalang expert. From adult diapers to all-sorts-of-tigerbalm-&-salonpas-&wadsoever to hair dye, derm, aiya basically eevrything tt the shop carries, of cox not mentioning abt all the little little things u have to remind customers(be it medical counselling pt or the-cashier-is-over-there or just listening to ah mas and ah peks airing their grievances abt anything under the sun like abt their daughter-in-laws or unfilial children to their lousy GPs or how exp their meds have been). Worse of all many are unappreciative and simply dun understand wad is ur role here for, in their perspective, they are like why-are-u-in-the-way-to-get-MY-medicine. I was trying to ask some v basic qns when this person wanted to get some ketotop plaster(a analgesic plaster) den this impatient person was like 这个是禁药ah? 不可以卖meh? Ppl jus dun understd tt we are jus there to ensure tt u guys use ur meds properly.
Yes, it is certainly a challenging job man, and i really respect my perceptor and my stand-in perceptor for the high level of patience/tolerance/knowledge they possess and for wad they are doing. I think its noble in a way, to be educators in every way, be it medicine related or lifestyle related and there's certainly alot to be learn from them, but somehow I cannot imagine myself doing this in future.

For now, ok la I dun really hate my attachment yet, there's still sth new to be learn everyday. And I am really thankful for very nice and generous perceptors/stand-in perceptors who are very kind and willing to share everything tt they know. I m glad tt i am spared from cashiering duties/housekeeping/give talk to pharm assistants abt minor ailemts which i have heard some of my fellow classmates are doing.

Ok now a mini update of wad I've been doing other then going to work everyday..

went to ubin on labour day..





It was jus so not ulu like last time. There were simply too many ppl this island shld contain. I mean too many ppl could be destructive to nature and the serenity of the place. mayb cox it coincided with some 大伯公 temple anniversary and vesak day. Tho initially there were some unhappiness, we managed to overcome it and enjoyed the day. Sorry dear was abit too un-understanding =P Saw many familiar scenes/brought back memories during my npcc and jc days. Saw crabbies(and unfortunately) ppl catching it at chek java. And we went at high tide. So dumb. But ok la still managed to see some crabbies, lots of mudskippers, all kinds of birds, and the huge monitor lizard which dear complained tt it doesn’t how to conduct itself as a lizard (tho I was like -_-|| but thinking back now I still think this comment is hilarious. Opps =X)

Caught Sgpore arts festival opening at boat quay too. But half of the time we din really understand wad it was abt. Some angel and devil fighting, den fairy godmother jump out.. den more fighting, more fireworks(which prob tt was wad the ppl there only cared abt) Maybe we were standing at the opp bank of the river(the vips were on the other) so couldn't really catch any balls. haha too arty farty for sgporeans to comprehend.





Went to xinyong's birthday celeb at amara sentosa resort. Wah tt place is wow. Awfully romantic, dreamy and luxurious. The > than king size and I dunno-wads-the-name of that kind of bed with a squarrish wooden frame with mosquito net over the entire bed. There's scv, and the range of shower pdts they have is like... lemongrass or lavender body lotion, shampoo shower bath, blah u name it they have it la. And the backyard with the outdoor jacuzzi. Wah heaven. Haha we 3 guys had a dip in it while the 2 remaining girls went to have their buffet breakfast in the morning. One thing tho the water wasn't hot enuff. Not as shiok as hot spring. ahah duh. And the 2 girls prob had a shock when they came back. Hey we have towels wrapped la. haha.




Lastly can someone teach me how to make a copy of dvd from another dvd. Tried nero but it didn't work mayb becox i only had one cd drive? Or itz jus becox it is protected?(haha chek u shld know why i m asking)

让 - 杨宗纬

多想要找到一丝挣扎在你脸上
可是你美得冷得淡得像月亮
等著你的那辆车灯闪一下
像催你草草断了我们的过往

约好要每年回到初拥吻的地方
划一个记号写下相恋的感想
等明年我剩一个人坐在堤防
该唱首什么歌来纪念爱的傻

让你逃亡又让你回航
让你依赖我也让你倔强
只要你微笑
带一点感动的泪光
我就得到可以再给的力量

我让你飞翔又让你说谎
我让你苛求我也让你奢望
我还以为爱
就是要体贴的退让
我们一起盖的罗马
你却跟他拆了城墙
踩过我用挚爱建筑的天堂

太绝对的爱变成了活该
朋友要我责怪我却只想重来
也许这就叫爱

我让你飞翔又让你说谎
我让你苛求我也让你奢望
我还以为爱就是要体贴的退让
我们一起盖的罗马
你却跟他拆了城墙
踩过我用挚爱建筑的天堂

多少日子盖的罗马
你用一夜拆了城墙
踩碎我曾让你栖息的胸膛

I cried twice over this song. Haha yea i'm such a sentimental emotional bitch. K la. not the Boo hoo hoo type. Jus silent tears. lol. Once when i heard over the radio, the other when i was singing in ktv with dear. think she cried too. The lyrics are jus excruciatingly painful n yet so beautiful n sad. Pay close attn to the lyrics when u hear it next time.

wootz! today is off day! 4th day den off liao. haha. Sort of getting used to working there.. but most of the time i m still abit dumbfounded or get stuck when i talk to customers or end up having my perceptor having to wrap up the case for me lol=P Like i will forget to ask ppl with fungal infection to apply even after symptoms disappear, maintain proper hygeine. The time ppl give u is so short, ppl are impatient and expect tt u know everything in the world, and some dun realise u're helping them, so its quite a challenege to get them to listen to u and be as sharp and precise in ur counselling.

Been learning quite alot from my perceptor i should say, think she's super expereinced as a clinical pharmacist. Jus rather whinny. Things like recommending smokers to jus go brush teeth to prevent lighting up(seriously i really dunno how effective is tt, i jus laughed when she counselled this guy =X) She keeps complaining tt amk ppl sux. haz. But actually i feel that this place is not bad for learning, there's a mixture of crowd, but yea alot of aunties/uncles asking like damn duh qns, u do get expats/educated ppl sometimes too. And it isn't too free tt u stone for an hour or so busy tt u hardly have have time to have discuss/ask ur perceptor stuff or go check up on martindale/mims. So i m actually quite ok with amk.

Yest she got complained by a customer for nothing felt damn yuan wang for her la. Its jus depressing when we are trying our best to help n freaking impatient customers pretend tt all is fine n leave n stab u hard in the back the next min by shooting some letter to the hq. Of cox she does get praises from ppl too. Yea, like wad my perceptor say every job tt entails customer service is like that, whenever there's a human factor involved, there's bound to be such incidents. Somehow it jus makes u think twice, like why did i study so hard to put with this all this crap/nonsense. Well i still have another 5.5 weeks to see more shit n hope it doesn't demoralise me too much. Up to now, I dun really hate my attachment la, other than the peanuts allowance i m getting. stll sort of enjoying the learning process.

Perceptor going on leave nxt wk, haha but this 2nd i/c taking over us is damn zai chiu too. Haha 1st class honours, and she rems the clinical trial phases in pharm law which has literally ntohing to do with her work other the adr report form.. puts to shame even tho i studied it only last yr? its not even a yr yet. Ok i m off to enjoy my break.

My legs hurt.. but still not as bad as I was in AH. Haha 1 word is sufficient to describe my preceptor. AUNTY. Like u wouldn't think she is a pharmacist when she's outside. But she's nice la. at least not the yi lao mai lao or the v ying xian type. Very approachable i shld say. And rather chatty. But the thing is she's going on leave nxt wk for 2 wks. SIan tiao. Hope the other pharmacist is okay too.

When we went dinner with her jus now she was telling us which cai fan store is cheaper, and that once she brought a branded bag to buy food the person charged her 3.30 but at another time when she brought a normal handbag there the person charged her 2.70. And she knows which soya bean milk store is nice tt kind of thing. She's not the always bombard us with qns type, n don't really drill us either.. which is not v gd either. But she did give us homework n taught us quite abit of stuff..not necessarily pharmacy related stuff. Actually is alot but we can't really rem i think, like how to handle/check the prescriptions, export sales thingy, print labels. And i counselled 1 patient on how to use the BP machine today. And we found out that hydroquinone is no longer an OTC drug but a POM. NUS is how slow la. nv update us still ask us to memorise the monograph. 1st on the list somemore.

the 1st phonecall i took in the shop had to be a damn idiotic customer. She was asking us to transfer a mini portable fan to another guardian branch near her house. I was like huh? Den she was getting damn impatient asked to speak to someone who knows wad she is talking abt after i kept asking her to hold on as i had to clarify with my preceptor. So in the end she made a big fuss over the phone n my perceptor had to transfer a stupid blardy fan for her. Shocked tt guardian provides such a service n pharmacist had to deal with such a stupid thing. Might as well ask us to deliver to ur doorstep. Needless to say my perceptor is damn pissed off with her n went on and on cursing her saying things like tt puny fan is not even enuff to cool tt customer down she still buy for wad..

Off on friday, but have to work on sat. Sun and labour day are fortunately spared too =)

I think i still haven slept enough ever since the exams ended.. Been going out, shopping, eating n eating n eating gd n sinful stuff like everyday. And tmr i have to wake up at 545. I think they are kinda of screwed up la. ask us to go to tt tampines guardian hq so early and give us a 2.5 hours lunch break. Wad kind of planning is this la.

Went to eat MOF(yum) and oyster ommelete(2.5yum) at lau pat sat with dear on weds followed by supper with cathhigh kaikis at cha can ting(0.5yum) near my house. Then it was curry noodles(yumyumyum) at hong lim food ctr at chinatown with chek for lunch, and i discovered this traditional pastry shop beside honglim tt sells those traditional cakes/biscuits on thurs. Omg the lao po bing there is like yumyumyum! And the tau sar piah is yumyum! Den went to marutama ramen at central to celeberate weepoh's birthday. The chicken based soup was really good and the char siew sort of melts in ur mouth as described in many blog reviews overall the ramen there its yumyumyum. Then went to bkt timah for teochew porridge(yumyum) for supper after mahjong.

Den sat i treated my mum to jack's place(yumyum) and dinner went out with dear to crystal jade la mian xiao long pao, this time round we ordered only 1 bowl of noodles and lots of sides so it was yumyum too. Sun mum's day was at my grandma's house so it was quite a feast with herbal chic, roast duck and crabbie(yumyum).

TT kind of sums up my food journey for the past days. I think i should go vegeterian from tmr onwards to redeem my sins. Btw the no. of yums described how gd the food were. And needless to say I think i spent a hell lot of money, not jus on food, together with all the last min shopping for working attire.

Abt 12 hours to microB but somehow i'm abit more relaxed compared to the prev 2 papers.. this is bad.. anyway at 1st i thot this test was quite accurate but then i realised alot of ppl's results are rather similar at many parts. so well prob its not tt great. Wow i din know i could b a dictator. If i were to change anything in the gov, it prob gonna b the 2 HEALTHy and EDUCATEd ones.

What Heng Jian Wei Means

You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts. You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it. You have the power to rule the world. Let's hope you're a benevolent dictator!
