*To Mr. CC, I'm waiting for this xD*

The return

"In her thoughts" is revived.
After 7 months of coma.



~Welcome back~

I'm going to miss the 2nd Putrajaya Int. Hot Air Balloon Fiesta!

Just knew that the 2nd Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta falls on next weekend!!!

I went to the 1st one during my final year!

Why didn't let me know earlier???

If I knew earlier, I wouldn't exchange my weekend call that's supposed at the end of the month to next weekend with my colleague!!!

Now I can't make it to go... I'm going to miss it out!

BIG SOBssssss

Seon, leave a space when you take photos so that you can crop my head and paste ther later on...

huhuhu~ T.T

"See RED"

I saw RED today!

(Please stop thinking what that first come to your mind! It's not that! =p)


I had an ampoule prick injury!
(It's containing morphine!)

T.T



Yesterday I broke 20 ampoules without any problem, but today...

Just 2 ampoules and my thumb started to bleed. I didn't realized when the ampoule had injured me.


I blame myself for my poor ampoule breaking skill!

Next time I should wrap the breaking area with gauze first in order to have an extra layer of protection.

Fortunately it's not some used needle prick injury, if not...
incident report has to be done, blood test has to be done, bla bla bla...



I need more practices!!!

It's Malacca life again

After a week of paradise life at Kampar, I'm back at Malacca once again.
*** sigh ***


End of holidays, start of working!
*** sigh (again) ***


开工大吉!!!

But no 'hoi gong' angpow from my boss...
*** sign (again & again) ***



I need to search back my abandoned working motivation and spirit!



(But there's still another week of CNY to go! How-le? Work hard? or Play hard?)






I will say: BOTH.
^_^

Malang tidak berbau

Today I have to tumpang my head of unit's desk to work on my chemotherapy calculations cuz the desk for CDR (Chemotherapy Drug Reconstitution) PRPs was affected by falling ceiling incident (MALANG 1)

According to my colleague who worked till 10pm yesterday, nothing has happened yet. So, the incident was believed to occur between 10pm until this morning 730am. LUCKILY IT DIDNT FALL WHEN I WAS SITTING THERE!!! (My working desk was there afterall.... pheW!!!)

A hole in the ceiling
(I believe the cause was some leaking pipe which then softened the ceiling and BOOM!)

Pieces of debris and a pool of 'muddy' water...
yiiiieeeee

Everyone had to jump over in order to get to the other side (including my big boss =p) before the mess was cleaned up.

~~~

Today CDR so good business! 25 cases in a day! (MALANG 2)
And I had to go in to assist in the chemo drug reconstitution which meant all the changing to personal protective equipment thingy (mask, gloves, special cover shoes, cap, gown)

25 cases, went into the chemo drug preparation room from 11am to 4pm!!! No lunch, no toilet no water to drink... nearly pengsan of dehydration and hypoglycemia @.@

and the most tiring part was...

There were lots of the infusion normal saline drip today which required less than 500ml.
Our readily available infusion drip bottle is 500ml each.

Those required included 7x200ml; 6x250ml; 4x100ml and 1x300ml

which means

I need to syringe out 7x 300ml; 6x250ml; 4x400ml and 1x200ml
( in order to get the required volume)

which further means

I need to syringe each time 50ml--> total = 108 times of 50ml!!!
(since the largest syringe is just 50ml)
(MALANG 3 YANG BESAR SEKALI)

And it was quite hard to syringe out due to the air pressure... my arms and fingers are aching now ( MALANG 4)
huhuhu~

T.T

I NEED MASSAGE!!!

After so long.... finally movie for me!

Today went to Ipoh with some hometown friends, with the intention to watch 2012 (I have compnanions! who are same outdated with me, hoho~). At the cinema there, it was like watching movie was free cuz almost all the movies we wanted to watch were sold out for almost shows for the day! In the end, we bought tickets to watch 'A Christmas Carol'.

Got seats at the last row. Excited cuz I havent hit the cinema for so long! HOWEVER... the screen that I watched for the whole movie show was like this.....

A tall 'Singh' was sitting in front of me.
His head covered half of the height of the screen (when he's not sitting straightly).

When he sat straightly.....

>.<''
~ sweat ~



I had to strained my neck, moved to the left and right, trying to watch the movie for that 1 hour and 40 minutes.

My long-awaited movie outing was spoiled!
Huhu~

Today's saying

A frog and a snake

This is not a fairy tale story.




It's about what I saw in my house kitchen yesterday.





I was back at home ~8pm yesterday, went to bathroom to wash my legs, flicked on the light and I saw...





sweat...





What I saw when the light was fully on gave me a full strength dose of adrenaline!!!

For illustration purpose only. Not according to the actual scale.
=p

But the scenario was true!
It was a baby snake and the frog was a normal size small frog.


Ending of the story???













The frog jumped out from the kitchen (through the gap at the bottom of the back door).

I stood guarding the snake while waiting for my housemate to back. In the end, the snake took the opportunity to glide out from the kitchen through the door gap also as my housemate was doubting to kill it or not.

-.-ll



*** fingers crossed ***



DON'T EVER VISIT MY KITCHEN (HOUSE ACTUALLY) ANYMORE!!!

Train Track & Children (Analysis)

Got your answer in hand?

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. To save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally.

But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?

Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was.

This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are.

The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.

To make the proper decision is not try to change the course of the train because the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens.

If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe.

If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.

While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.

Remember...

"What's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn't always right."



Everybody makes mistakes; that's why they put erasers on pencils.


A nice one eh? =)

A story on Decision Making

Today my CPS (Clinical Pharmacokinetic Service) a.k.a TDM (Therapeutic Drug Monitoring) preceptor was checking her emails and then she shared a story with me. A nice one.

So, I thought of sharing it out too. *wink*

This story is about Decision Making - Train Track and Children (perhaps some of you have heard of it). It's inspiring and gives us an insight in decision making.



Here it goes.

I drew it via Paint =p

A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track.

The train came, and you were just beside the track interchange. You could make the train change its course to the disused track and saved most of the kids.

However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?



Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make...

...

...

Analyse the situation...

...

...

Think and reflect...

...

...

Decided your answer!!!!...

Now ... go ahead...

Value pharmacists, not sideline them

I TRULY, ABSOLUTELY, DEFINITELY, NO DOUBT, SURELY AGREE WITH THIS STATEMENT!

Here is what I found in TheStar on 15th Nov.


Quoted a paragraph from the letter:

"The removal would effectively equate the contribution and value of pharmacists with other non-healthcare professionals. We need to understand that pharmacists are well-trained and dedicated healthcare professionals. It is unwise to treat them as graduates from other science-related fields."



Related stories, another letter from someone concerned (KL) sent on 13th Nov.
Allowance reduction unfair to pharmacists

MPS, please fight for us!!!

Stress ball

Stress ball???

Awwww, I was so pathetic those years back!

But~! I miss being your stress ball also~

Muahahahaha~

e-Bye~!

Tata~!

Waitin for your souvenirs-la, hohoho~

Can't sms or call you for a week =(

i 'BEH SONG' you!

This afternoon, as I was on my way to get something in order to continue my work, I was stopped dead by a Pembantu Tadbir. It was what she asked.

"Who are you? You siapa?"

-.-ll

?????????????

QUESTION MARKS popped out from my head!

WHO AM I??!!!

Excuse me, lady.. I've been working at this station for 2 weeks ady and you still wanna ask who I am.... There are only 2 new PRPs (which are me and another colleague) who just joined into the Store Department AND our PRP room is just opposite yours!!!!!! Is it that difficult to remember 2 new faces? I tried to get to know everyone there, their faces and their names. I remember your name. I recognize your face!

Actually I do not care if you do not know who I am. It's just that when you threw out that question, your tone was RUDE!!! You sounded as I was an illegal intruder who wasn't supposed to be there.

I think you should brush up your manner, Lady N!

Fully occupied Saturday

It's Saturday. Most people who's on 5-day working scheme were still snoring under their blankets WHILE I had to crawl out of bed at 7am!

WHY??

I have to work on-call this weekend. My first on-call since I entered Malacca Hospital. BUT it's NOT my turn initially. Someone 'superior' asked me to help someone to do it. Being a freshie at the hospital, sure didn't dare to say 'NO'. So, this weekend's gone, occupied by Methadone call. Prior doing this call, I purposely sacrificed a Saturday 2 weeks ago to learn about the work from a senior. The working time supposed to be from 10am-2pm but I went early to prepare all the things and started syringing out the methadone syrup....
syringe ~ syringe ~ dilute ~ dilute ~ syringe ~ syringe ~ dilute ~ dilute ...
I guessed I've syringed about over HUNDREDS bottles!!! -.-ll

After work, thought of going over to another station to learn about TDM (Therapeutic Drug Monitoring). It's essential to know how to do it during A&E call. But, by the time I was there, there was no more sample to run. T.T

Hopefully tomorrow got sample for me to learn after my methadone work.

3pm. Klu~ klu~ klu~

Stomach was crying! =p I din realize that I didn't have lunch! So, off I went to Tesco (the nearest and the only so-called shopping place that I know how to go, HAHA!). Lunch alone. Since already at Tesco, sure walked around mar... walked around then sure shopping mar.. hehehe~

My 'SOUVENIRS' were:

1. Folding storage box

To store my food supplies!

2. Storage shelf

When I put this in my trolley, an uncle approached me and say "Girl, this one not good! Carrexxxx got sell 3 compartments with just RM10!!" -.-ll Being a polite girl, I sure replied " Oh really? Thanks, uncle". (But I didn't put the shelf back to the displaying rack, haha~)

3. Japanese style folding table

And this is the newly decorated corner! ^_^

After assembling the storage box, table and shelf, I gave my VyVy a bath. Pitied her of being comot comot =p

Such a fully occupied Saturday right?

Another day of Methadone call tomorrow. My Sunday....
T.T sob sob T.T

Smile over gloominess (II)

How can I don't smile when seeing this?

^_^

YingYing,

Your message set my bother, worries & low-in-spirit ASIDE!!

I wanna have 2 more 'worry-free' holidays before back to reality to plan for my Malacca thing, cuz it's Malaysia's birthday - MERDEKA!!!

lols

***************************************************

~ Thanks to CC for your support and the promised effort you've made ~

Chaos!

This morning KKM phone line was bombed by UM Pharmacy graduates! I tried calling berpuluh kali only could get through it~ -.-lll

I WAS POSTED TO MALACCA!!!

I'm the only one in my batch who's posted to Malacca. T.T
My hope to stay at Perak or Selangor or KL crashed into pieces... (Wondering if I appeal, will I be able to get back to Perak???)

Compared to most of my coursemates, I guess I'm lucky. Quite a number of them got SARAWAK & PAHANG!! The rest were scattered to every corner of Malaysia - Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, Sabah, Negeri Sembilan, Johor and Terengganu is also in the list!! All EXCEPT PENANG!!!

WHY WHY WHY??!!!!

What had the UM Pharmacy graduates 2009 done to get this kind of fate??? Why can't we get what we wanted???

We were 'lelong' to the whole Malaysia...

Then came out a hypothesis that got someone complained KKM of their inefficiency to delay the posting and so on... So, KKM acted lor... Without waiting the seniors to come out from their PRP (Provisional Registered Pharmacist) places, KKM posted us to the readily available vacancies!! If this is true, HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN??!! We are willing to wait for our seniors to out first, KKM!!

Sorry, can't enlarge this pic. Just see the title. The translation is available as below~

Translation (from my coursemate):

Someone (I think is a fresh Pharmacy graduate) wrote to a particular newspaper saying:

Since now is the outbreak of H1N1 and hospitals are short of healthcare professionals, but the fresh graduates still cannot get their posting A.S.A.P. while they are ready & passionately to serve the public. She said the attitude of SPA (Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam) and KKM (Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia) people to keep delaying the interview and posting is very inappropriate. Instead of increasing the manpower by posting soon, they even asked private hospital staffs to work as part time and OT to cope with the situation is very unwise and might be dangerous. She urge the related personnels to change their working attitude and efficiency.

Personally, i think this kind of complaint had annoyed the KKM people and they reacted to accelerate the posting process BUT.... WHY UM STUDENTS HAVE TO BE THE VICTIMS???

My batch has around 60 persons. From the results, LESS THAN 10% got what they applied!!!

SO SUI NE!!!

***************************************************

Due to this 'SUDDEN' chaos... I was forced to reject a part-time I got at KTAR Kampar as an exam attendant!!! haiz... T.T

That day beria-ria went to apply, thought could do some part-time before posting. Today the KTAR exam division staff called me to confirm, I have to 'paiseh-ly' turn her down. So SORRY!! As the latest news said that we need to report ourselves between 1st to 15th Sept. The exam attendant job is from 1st to 18th Sept!!! All because of KKM!!!

I HATE YOU!!!

Smile over gloominess

My day started off gloomily, with no breakfast and WORST of all, my house washing machine chose to broke down on this day out of all days and times!!!

Leaving me with no choice, I had to take out the half-washed clothes and continued washing them MANUALLY!!!

~~~sweat~~~

Deep down in heart, cursing non-stop the stupid washing machine, thinking of what a moody morning I had.

But then, when I was checking some friends' blogs, I just couldn't help smiling when I came across hers.

(She managed to post it after 12am although she had a tiring Tuesday after her yoga class!)

You brighten up my gloomy day =D

YingYing,

Before our meeting, I was afraid of an awkward situation.

But it turned out to be....

I felt like I was meeting an old friend after all! ^_^

When I'm bored with the continuous same kind of work

This morning I was forced to help mum in making the "GOONG ZHAI" biscuits.

No choice lor, who asked me to be the most nothing-to-do person at home~

** roll roll roll**

** press press press**

Out the moulded biscuit came!

My favourite mould

After an hour doing the same procedures, sure got bored one. So, thought of something else to do.

Hehehe~

Sh*t among the biscuits??? =p

It's the easiest to make!

Ginger bread man
