No work today due to the external audit the hospital is having today. so they shooed me away. But i still woke up to attend the infectious disease combined meeting from 8 to 9 by 猴子学姐 lol. Then went to have breakfast n saw the partial solar eclipse which happened to be the darkest at ard 9.40pm.. many passerbys were taking out their camera but i din bring mine out. haha but then still quite cool to catch one. like 难得 got the 闲情逸致 to see it.. in sgpore probably most ppl can't b bothered.. N i m still wondering wad to do w this free day..

Taiwan has been fun so far..I m too lazy to update. Went to climb elephant hill last nite which was near our school and man the night view was really good. perfect spot to capture 101 and also to partor o.O haha. And we went abit carzy n high on the road doing the YMCA moves along the road outside ppl's house. thanks to the hyper suzan jiawei's new found love/rm mate. haha watch for the video in fb later.

Still having the irritating cough which i am still getting at bedtime. it gets so bad right b4 i sleep that i take like almost an hour to fall asleep every night for the past few days while i m perfectly alright in the day. been a week plus n i reckon that it is probably bronchitis alr. I wanted to see the doctor alr to get antibiotics but this coummunity pharmacist was like why dun i jus sell u some. o.O haha. so i just bought the one tt my GP in sg always gives me. crossing fingers hoping tt i will b ok by the wkend.

Somehow i like doing the laundry as well. haha weird.

And its weird that I dun exactly miss home. haha. but of cox there are ppl to b missed. hahaha.

going to kaohsiung n kenting over the wkend!

attachmt here so so bah i guess. Ward rounds w the ID doctor was rather interesting.. tho i think my antibiotics and microB is really not up to it.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa - 绿毒杆菌
S。Aureus- 金黄色球菌

Thank god their case notes are in english.. but when they discuss about cases they converse in mandarin. haha.

walking ard the hospital in white coat with jeans n sneakers are cool. haha tts wad the pharmacists and even some doctors wear in the hospital.

hee everyday is a friday in taiwan. LOL.

I am back, but will b gone again in no time.

Preceptorship was good. much beter than last yr. And i m sure I'll be doing hospital for my prereg.

Had a good 1 week break after preceptorship though I was runing all over the place settling visa/rpts/blah. Also met up, caught up and got caught =)

Will try to update from tw =)

-h1n1 stay away from me n my loved ones-

又过了一个周末。

Sometimes i find myself staring at the blank blogger screen for ages, or typing and cancelling over and over again.

I think I am having increasing difficulty in expressing myself. things that are too complicated to talk about, things that are jus too controversial, things that are too incomprehenable, things that are simply out of this world to some ppl. its frustrating to have a blog and yet u can't speak ur mind when u need an outlet.

and it makes me wonder the very aim of existence of this blog. I mean this is certainly not the 1st time such a feeling strikes upon me. And many out there have finally decided to leave their blogs with a final entry n tts it gd bye. I dunno if I am ready to do jus that. this blog holds too many memories. Jus look at the archives. its OMFG since 2003.

I'll b back when i feel like it. It maybe tmr, a month later or wadsoever. haz. But it should b here to stay.

-hush hush-
-dun ask-

Finally booked our tix. 400+ for tw. Quite a rip off but at least we're on our way there now and we jus found out that accomodation there is free!

Watched all the kiddish comedies including nite at musuem2, monsters vs aliens and I think they are all great laughs and better than i expected! go watch it if u haven.

如果可以不把情绪挂在脸上，那该多好。真不知道有些人是怎样办到的。佩服佩服。

-Hush Hush-

2 wks of OP rotation is finally over! k la it wasn't as bad as i thot but it was really significantly more tiring esp this wk considering the physical tiredness of packing and copying the daily assignments plus going home to prepare for discussions every alternate day and finishing up my soaps n prescriptions which is still undone. But despite all the buzz and shagness i think its quite a purposeful life and it feels good somehow to b learning new stuff or reinforcing the stuff tt we learnt. its quite amazing tt i dun dread going to work, which was very different from what i felt during the retail attachment last yr. N u get inspired by pharmacist tt are so zai tt u wan to be u their position someday. 2 more weeks left... time really flies n i think somehow i may miss working there! haha maybe i m mad. but there's always tw to look forward to!

its the boring wkend again. n jiawei u owe me n sean drinks.

The ending of grey's season 5 was horrible. horrible. Why do they have to write such tragic endings for those ppl who may be leaving the cast.

Its the end. I told you so. And i did not screw the DNR like they did.

Met up with some classmates over dinner at shokudo bazaar place and drinks at paulaner jus now. Nice catching up n hearing stories from them from diff hospitals. haha 1st time gatecrashing their gang for outing. but we still lack representative from SGH n NUH! ahaha.

the vocals at paulaner was good but no live drumset! only guitarist! no drumset makes the songs incomplete n sound hollow even though the vocals are damn gd. And the songs were kinda a tad slower compared to timbre substation. I think i still prefer timbre.. timbre shld jus poach their singers over than it will b perfect.

Life n death in the hospital is common but still kinda disturbing. Happened to b in the wards for 2 consec days when some1 passed away.. n today there was this patient moaning n yelling in pain for like so long during some procedure while we were having our discussion at the nurse station.. n yup eevryone seemed numb to it. its kinda sad. that numb feeling to life n death, ppl suffering, i dunno jus sudddenly feel that eventually we will be some unfeeling robots going abt jus doing our job n ya u know wad i mean. Maybe i wil be some unfeeling robot someday too. But i think these 2 weeks at the wards was really fruitful n interesting n I think i will enjoy being an ward pharmacist though the work is tough n tedious. But prob just for a few years i will move on.. see how.. nxt mon OP. Packing machine here we're gonna transform.

Last day of work for the week tmr! finally. Actually hospital attachment so far hasn't been too bad. jus abit tired but probably not as tired as those at OP. Been quite fun and interesting and really learnt alot. Everything from pharmpract, law, pharmaco1&2 n PT is jus haunting u non stop. And its fun moving ard the wards n looking at the case notes but half the time dunno wad is going on, watching them dispense n being questioned(tts if we know the answers) haha n having really intriguing discussions. I think i like working the hospital.. for now... but lots of reading up to do also.. hope my enthusiasm can last..

Went to the ICU and HD wards today. the feeling was really different form the last time i was there. And its weird. I mean i feel that I am abit cold blooded in a way. Like we can still joke about this unknown indian man who has no name n like so sick in the ICU. Like kinda getting abit numbed to seeing so many patients with so many conditions. Tts probably jus part of getting used to the job bah.

And i was laughed at for not being able to pronounce escitolapram today as in i really broke up the parts like es-ci-to-la-pram really vividly. then the pharmacist laughed relly loud n still ask her colleagues to guess wad drug is tt. HAha bish. but ok la. She's been a nice n gd teacher for the day. shall not bear grudge on acct of that!

I slept like 9 hrs straight from 2 am to 11pm.. wah tts damn amazing. Haven had undisturbed sleep for so long in a very long time! haha. the temp job i have found was canceled as now they dun need ppl to take temperature le (some admin job at SIM) and just nice our preceptorship has resumed. Yays.

Time passes so fast when u're idling n having fun. Its friday alr.. n Mon work starts!

Haha i think i need a break from alcohol n clubbing. Not that i drink or club alot anyway! No worries its not u gals faults. I am jus getting abit old. I still like te music n company =) I wan to sing K and mahjong tho!!

I CAN'T DRINK.
That was the conclusion i got. Was damn sian yesterday. I didn't even feel very high and wasn't gibberish or shouting or wadsoever. I jus suddenly had a visual blackout and I can't see for nuts like all of the sudden in the dancefloor 1 hour after sharing the 2 jugs of long island. So little rite. I freaked out and jiawei had to drag me out of zouk. I totally couldn't see where i was walking including ppl n steps. I didn't even have the pukey feeling until i forced myself to puke. Then i had no more mood to club so i decided not to spoil the fun for the rest n cabbed home. Then when i reached home, I realised my bag was still at the baggage counter n i did not have keys to my house. Then i had to wake my parents up to open the door for me.. haha they didn't scold me n my mum just said serves u rite this morning. She say u shld experience how horrible it is to be drunk then nxt time u woun drink so much. The problem was I didn't even felt like i was drunk. But then n again, now really got abit of phobia liao. Damn sian.

Escapism is... falling asleep in front of your biotech notes when u already had 2 cups of coffee within a few hours. Nonetheless, I am really thankful for the discovery of caffeine.

-Mug ur ass off ppl-

2009陈绮贞-太阳新加坡演唱会

虽然没有缭眼的舞蹈，也没有特别嘉宾，但陈绮贞动人，几乎无暇的嗓子，摇滚吉他的功力和真诚热情的心，足已值回票价。让我想一想和还是会寂寞rocks the night.

跑了全场两圈和观众近距离互动，上了两次的深降级：一次左边一次右边，从天而降的亲笔鼓励字条，Encore了好几次到1130..真的是一个诚意一百分的演唱会。

还好有encore，因为她唱了很多之前没唱的歌但是我超想听的。太聪明，九份的咖啡店，会不会，告诉我，After17..

看了这场演唱会，我更加爱上陈琦贞了。下次一定会再去。

3 day work week is here! Damn shiok. Going to watch movie tmr n sing k on thurs! Tho our dear eli has the brilliant idea of giving a maybe openbk or maybe mcq or maybe open ended or maybe combined test.

Fri sushi session at amk suki sushi was gd. 7 of us had 63 plates of sushi, with 2 of them (declined to be named) finishing most of it. And finally tried the alcoholic icecream at udders! Baileys, Rum n Raisin, Orange choc plus this snickers+mars+vanila butterscotch was yummy. They had this mao shan wang durian flavour too. must try nxt time. Everyone shld go try! its at novena/near UE sq opp starbucks.

I dun think i wan to be a quality analyst in the industry.. i still wan to get to apply all the clinical knowledge dun really wan to throw them away. And its damn exciting to hear my senior getting the dream job tt i wan. or sth tt i think i will like.

Today's 74 bus ride to sch was really a ride down memory lane, I was just swamped by a wave of nostalgia as the bus zapped thru bukit timah road.. thanks to the 165 n 52 tt never appeared for 20 mins + the unusually empty bus + unusually clear road conditions + nice cool but sunny morning with fog. Haha.

Coronnation plaza - prince, the cosy corner, the ke ai ji lemon chicken, sat band pract lunches, the mafs prince dinner..

HCJC - shall be the name tt i always rem. simi HCI la. Saw them having PE. Not the irritating mass run tho. lol Familiar place, familiar faces teaching PE, somehow their Tshirt looks too striking for my liking. I miss playing volleyball!

Sixth Ave - Venezia n Nasi bryani n Ritz Apple strudel.. OH man i wan to go there n eat nasi bryani.. been ages i had a gd one. N joa when are we going back to eat the strudel? lol

KAP - The long flight of stairs behind the KAP Macs ouside cold storage, i forgot wad happened there..but somehow i rem sth happened tt was fun..

I realised how i missed my jc days n how we have all aged n grown apart. Hope u dear ones out there are doing well n fine.

Wads w me today.

Yawn YawN.. One down one more on friday. Can't wait for the long wkend to come.. the idea of no sch on mon sounds damn shiok.

Went out to celeb kenvin's birthday last sat. Thanks for the partial treat! So wad should we bet on this time rd? I think maybe u shld lower my targets if not u will prob be treating me every sem. Played LAN and mahjong n reached home at 4am, while my classmates were probably mugging their asses off. Left 4 dead was fun! 1st person shooting game.. shoot at zombies n witches. beats Counterstrike cox i sux at it. But its probably a couple times more headache inducing than C.S. Side effects: N/V(common)

Hmm maybe its times like this we(or maybe I) start to appreciate that I am in a rather recession proof industry, at least its a change from some time ago when i kept complaining abt how under paid n how underappreciated we are(we're still of course!) But seems like many ppl I have spoken to recently are all lamenting how bleak the job market is out there, and its really really bad except for those really really rare cases. like how ppl are offered jobs but only told to start work in jan nxt yr, and how ppl are forced to go on unpaid leave for like a yr, and how some courses have graduates with half of the cohort furthering their studies.n the other half venturing into a field entirely diff from their scope of study, etc. Well at least, somehow during the recession, we are in a slightly better shape than them. But when times are good, they are in a much much rosier n better position than us. So for now, GLOAT while we can. Okok kidding kidding.

I am so glad the day is over. PHew. Tho the test was kinda crappy but prob everyone found it shitty so i guess its okay. And i think i have to count my blessings for guessing the correct a/a for the 1st qns n deducing partially correctly for the 2nd qns.. tho i only have 3 structures out of 13. Quite heng alr i guess.

Acting lecturer showed us some of the student's blog tt blogged abt him/lect as prove tt he is "in-touch" with all the gossips n tt he knows all the d things n bad things ppl say abt him. LOL. I wonder if he asked those students b4 showing it to us during lectures. He is a really damn interesting personality la every week recite poem n almost everywk got clubbing songs and funny movies or funny gestures or pattern. And i think he's kinda crooked. k i better stop here b4 i see my blog up there nxt wk.

Where are all the mouse?! Jus 3.5% more to apprentice! Join mousehunt on facebook now!

I finally went to cut my hair. Been 2 mths n really felt like i was going there to cut some grass. No more dyeing of hair for a very very long time again. the damage is jus too great.

Din go to the IT fair but accompanied my fren to some japanese studies thingy which was also at suntec after my hair cut. The crowd was jus amazing. gosh. It was soo soo damn blardy crowded that they had to stop ppl from taking the escalators and entering at some pt in time. the whole convention hall lvl 1 which is rather spacious is jus packed w ppl queueing to go on the escalators. I really cannot comprehend why ppl like to go to IT fairs so much even tho they dun really have things to buy. I jus get tt feeling. Madness. N come on there's a recession.

Finally got to eat taiwan porridge! Pulled fel n moony to tpy haha. N we had a great time laughing n trying to eat properly. lol

Decided to join the club. So there goes...

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

this is really true. I think i really have too many interest. okok CRA for now.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

this is quite true too.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

This is quite an insight. Come to think of it i've been subconciously making myself more n more independent over the years. But then n again eveyr1 needs to grow up mah. so..hmm

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

my moods change but ppl can't relly tell haha. Confidence.. sometimes i need more.
