today's lesson was kinda enjoyable. Finally went out to the road. I felt much more in control and confident today with the clutch and accelerator. Able to move off the car more quickly without stalling and without vibrating the car, as well as stopping smoothly and change gear,clutch down in time.... only thing i need to improve on is to up gear more smoothly n quickly while acclerating. Taxi drivers are so unfriendly to newbie drivers lor... I was just abit slow in moving off when the light turned green den that idiot honked me...wah liew...
Went marina south for dinner on sat. Heheh haven been there for quite some time. I din know tt there was actually some ndp thingy going on there. as in ppl actually got tickets to watch the live telecast of the parade thru a huge projector screen set up at the field there. kinda dumb and pathetic idea i thot. got to see fireworks due to the proximity of padang over dinner. Hmm the prawns were really fresh and sweet. Bbqing the half alive prawns(some still jumping in the container) was hilarious and def not for the faint hearted. LOL.the prawns put up a futile struggle but sadly perished under our brutal chopstops and sizziling bbq plate MuAhahaha.
Been feeling kinda lethargic/down/sian or wadever, dunno itz work making me very sian or wad. sometimes it just feels like nothing is of interest to me anymore, and also lost and aimless. And amazingly i realised I'm not the only one having that undescrible suxky feeling too. Its like suddenly i will ask myself why am I doing this? Why am I wasting my time? What am I going to end up/become/do in the future? haha. i shall not continue. getting abit out of point. Looking forward to ndp weekend.

I've been such a lazy bum. Haven't updated for ages. And i think this blog layout sux. but i just refuse to do anything. =P
Passed my final driving theory, not bad considering it a first attempt. I was admittedly kinda kiasu.. haha studied and looked through everything i could. the online theory lessons, theory book and most importantly the 400 MCQs from past yrs test guidebk which i got from joel. Also had my 1st lesson last week, haah i remembered being so tired when i got there..it was friday 2055hrs, last weekday of the week totally drained. But I still found it quite fun and interesting, though the clutch thingy is quite a nuisance. Guess its a matter of getting used to it. My instructor got so bored of me practicing reversing and moving off that he fell asleep.. HmmpHz...Only after i told him i'm confident liao den he let me proceed to driving round the circuit.. haha certainly looking forward to this sun's lesson.
Broke away from the normal routine during the last weekend.. went to cheowlit's house in jb to stayover for the weekend with daryl. Kinda enjoyed ourselves.. it was pretty sinful considering the amount of food we gorged. haha I constantly felt full sia...hahah seriously not exaggerating. Snacked around in city sq and A&W! haah.. missed A&W curly fries man! and top it up with a rootbeer float..yUm! Had dinner with his family at some chinese restaurant which was quite a drive away from JB..but could understand why their family has been going back there all these while. after trying the food. haha. Went for supper at midnight at some street hawker/opitiam place.. the chee cheong fun was really oiishiii~~ Was quite convenient for us to get around as cheow drove us.. to shopping and stuff.. yea.. sigh when will be able to drive around?? think should be sending him off this sat afternoon..
Work at medical centre seemed to have taken a toll on me ever since I've taken over as dispense i/c. Sianz... I always feel likei have tons of work to do.. haha.. Wads worse those snr medics/regulars are not making life any much better by implementing lots of new policies and systems. Whole load of crap. Ppl say xin guan shang ren san ba huo, but i think we have like as much as jiu(9) ba huo... so many newly appointed ppl trying to "show their power n garangness" and trying desperately to prove themselves at the expense of us lowly NSFs. Argh.. haaha we're like peons.. "work work"...WTH...we shld lead an uprising!! But fortunatley, ppl there are rather fun and nice to work with la... perhaps the only nice thing at the medical centre is the people there ba.
Hmm wadver it is, the weekend is near le! at least for me now, all i can do is to look forward to weekends and driving lessons.. and of course ORD.

Just had chemical defence course back at Nee Soon today..Haha we navy personnel were really balonglong.. whole group go for break but returned 10 mins late... den water parade when the rest were using that green ugly bottle we were taking out our civilian fanciful bottles..haha quite a funny sight. Basically the whole course was kinda slack.. they gave us super long canteen and lunch breaks till it becomes very sian haha. the only irritating part was just doning of the freaking thick and uncomfortable suit. And tmr should be a half day..yeah..
Just to share sth.. My friend working in the chamber was telling us that day that was this guy who came in with DCI(decompression illness) - a condition where air bubbles, mainly nitrogen gets trapped in a particular part of a body due to rapid ascent during diving.. ( a result of surounding pressure decreasing too quickly). In this case the DCI occured at his balls(ya u din get me wrong, testicles). So his testicles became twice its normal size. But then, Dr Lee heard it wrongly, he thot it was his penis that became twice its normal size.. so he exclaimed," why is the patient still complaining?? shouldn't he be happy about it?" hahaha

Sianz i just lost like near 35 bucks over mahjong this weekend. Sighz. Utterly disgusted. Had breakfast at delifrance this morning.. obviously it had to be kenvin's treat! with me contributing roughly 50% of his earnings... I will have my revenge next time!! LOLx
Met up with william and a handful of jc classmates on fri night.. Was chilling and crapping around while munching sushi at the suki sushi rest in cini. Well william is flying off this coming sat to US naval academy for 4 years.. All the best dude! Thanks for the movie treat too! hMm monster-in-law was an unexpectedly hilarious and entertaining show.. haha.. probably because i was prejudiced towards J -Lo. HA.

Been MIA for some time.. hmm let me recall what had happened... okie think i went sailing for a week which i kinda enjoyed though I complained initially. HAha. Was practically like doing nothing everyday onboard thanks to wonderful Dr Mathew who believes in doing everything himself. never seen any other MO like him before. A real nice guy. And can u imagine he's presently studying diploma in law at the meantime while serving his NS.. and he's aim is obviously a double degree.. Law + Medicine??!!? Can you imagine how powerful will that be?
He was telling me about the mistakes that doctors make in hospitals and i vaguely remembered there was this case where there's this patient who came in for some minor surgery. Prior to most surgery, patient has to fast for a certain period of time before entering the OT.. so this guy fasted and everything seemed perfectly normal to the doctors until just before the sugery, they found his vital signs deteriorating and slipped into coma.. so they panicked and scrambled to find out what's wrong wih him, and to their horror, his hypocount was 0.8 (hypocount refs to blood glucose level, and for normal ppl is 4.0 and above, so 0.8 is really very low...). They tried to revive him but it was just too late.. Apparently his hypocount was falling steadily all the while(probably a diabetic pat) just that nobody monitored and bothered to check his condition. Everyone assumed it's just another normal case and hence leading to their negligence. Sighz. though doctors are human after all, and have the right to make mistakes, but when such mistakes occur, who will be so forgiving? not the society, and certainly not the relatives of the deceased. Tough job.
He was also telling me about how lawyers in the US station themselves outside hospitals chasing after patients or relatives asking if they want to sue the doctors for wadsoever reason, causing them unnecessary trauma, pain or even death. Hah..
been rather busy at medical centre recently... sighz really tired.. will try to blog again soon.

I'm going sailing! from tmr to fri. to nowhere. BIG SaiGang. will return just in time for the weekend. Haiz... rubbish la.. wad under clinical no need to sail... in the end still ask me to sail out of convenience. Wadever la... go sail can leave medical centre work to pile and rot. Den i will go for off next weeek when i come back! LAlala Bo ga lAnz.
StarWars was quite disappointing. or maybe my expectations were high. It was just pure regurgitation of the story line... no adrenaline rush.. quite boring. think it was just an OK movie. and $9.50's really not cheap man.

hmm munching some muah chees i bought from taiwan as i typed along... today was my first official full working day at medical centre since roughly more than a month ago? was having super monday blues...feeling super sian and time really seem to crawl by really really slowly. think i have officially taken over dispensary.. so no more sailing for me as I have crossed over to the clinical side.. maybe if they are kind enough they will send me to one good trip b4 i ORD in june next year. Sighz hope i have not made the wrong decision by taking up the job. been comtemplating and weighing the pros and cons for awhile... think its time for me to settle down for the next half of my NSF life. enough of sailing for me. anyway, roughly only 1 out of 4 sailing trips are good, good as in there is a port of call, other times we are just floating around the seas and oceans. moreover, my parents dun really like me to sail. u know, safety reasons so as they presume. so far, i've been to Pattaya,Penang and Kaohsiung with the navy.. frankly speaking there are not many places(that the navy visits often and are nice to visit) left.. maybe except bali and phuket..but think my mum will make a big fuss if i have to sail to bali. also, not having to sail also means that i can give tuition and do do things that require me to commit my time every week. tuition lobangs anyone??
Played mahjong at ken's house on sat nite. It was really outrageous! within 4 rounds(east, south, west, north) ken won 50+ bucks. Me and weepoh lost 3 bucks each, ( we split our earnings n loses as we took turns to play) and kc n tw lost 20+ each i think. was too tired to go for another round.. nvm we shall recoup or losses this week!
hmm theres going to be a class bbq this sat at huangyi's place.. hope the turnout would be good. haven seen u peeps for a while.
trying to get some taiwan pics from my friends... i was too hum ji to bring my camera the other time.. i will go mad if the rps or provost confiscate my digi cam. haha

Your Birthdate: November 6 |
A birthday on the 6th of the month adds a tone of responsibility, helpfulness, and understanding to your natural inclinations. Those born on the sixth are more apt to be open and honest with everyone, and more caring about family and friends, too. This is a number associated with responsibility and caring - this birthday lends a degree of concern for others. |
