Last day in tpy polyclinic. DOn't know what to say le. Is been nice working here. Although I cannot deny that working here is sometimes boring and monotonous, but it is not the work that keep me here, but the people here. People here are nice and friendly although some can get agitiated. But still, it is quite good. Even though, I made some angry at times, I hope that they will forgive me and let the past behind. Feel reluctant to leave this place. Going to another place means got to start over again and adjust to the new environment. Haiz. Wish to thanks to all the people here, especially the pharmacists (Mr Chan and Bandy- Who taught me things), the PTs (Shan Shan, SHee Wee, Yasmin, Au Yong(like to act acute... hehe)), PAs (Sze Hui, Regina and Gourip), Retail staff (Francy, Eunice, Catherine - You all have been soooooooo nice~) and Promoters (Nancy, Margaret, Esther and many more).Thanks to all who have gave something as a token of appreciation to me. Thanks to Nancy who have treat me to lunch. And many others more. Hope Sean, SHereen and Zhu ZHe to continue to have a good time at tpy polyclinc.
Really wish to say a big THANK YOU to you all. Hope Yasmin will enjoy here India trip for 1 month.If I have the time, I will probably visit this place again. If chance arises, I don't mind coming here to work part time before entering NS.Hope that the environment at SGH will also be like here, good and friendly people, and so.Lastly, Thank you.

WednesdayWent to AMK polyclinic to get my cream. Then chat with Nadirah. AMK pharmacy is smaller, but it looks better and nicer. After that, I went to AMK hub living pharmacy to see Zhu ZHe. Looks like Zhu Zhe is having a good time there. Looks like attachment at unity pharmacy may not look that bad after all.Then Mr Kelvin Tan is also there. So he drove me back to NYP as it was raining heavily. My bag accidentally onto a car. DIdn't meant to do it. I didn't know until Mr Tan told me. Apologise but the man keep showing black face to me:(Went back to school for the student dialouge session. Is always talking about the same things lol, CMS, notes, lecturers and etc... Now the school got one new thing, banding system. They bascially rank you into four bands and only the top ten people can know their position. I am in band one lol.After, the session, chat with Miss Leong and Miss Yong. Have laughter and so. It seems that Mr Richard Khaw knows everybody in scl. Mention of any name and he seems to know who that person is. Lastly... Miss Leong's desk is so messy and Miss Lim's one is so neat. Oh, btw, Miss Yong has changed her office to level 4... Looks like she is promoted... Hehe...

Today is my first time that I miss bus 57. I was sms-ing and did not realize that 57 had come. Then I went to Braddell to take 232. Still I wasn't late. Next time better not sms too much when waiting for bus. Went to zj house to pass him FF7 guidebook. In the late afternoon, went to bugis to meet Panther. Shouldn't have gone to bugis. Pointless.Lastly, my tv is finally repair!!! Never realize how important the tv was until it broke down...

I want to watch Deal or No Deal tonight...Didn't know about 11 people went back to school today for the NUS admission talk... I should have gone as well...

CHina Premier Wen Jia Bao did not visit tpy polyclinic today. Don't know why. ANyway, this is a good news. Save all the trouble that his visits will bring.I got to dispense again. Dispense 2 prescriptions today. Quite ok, except got one dosing intruction that I did not specific properly. SOmetimes, I don't know why I don't want to dispense even I really want to do it. Maybe is because I scared I say the wrong things? Or any other reason? I don't know.

I suspect that I am allergic to strawberry milk. I got sore throat few hours later after drinking it. Anyway, China Premier Wen Jia Bao is coming to tpy polyclinic on monday. You can see the workers painting the polyclinic, removing old plants and replacing them with new ones. I wonder if there is a need to do this to make the polyclinic looks 'new' when is already old...Accompany yuki for her dinner. Time flies. Miss those days when she and other friends click together every weekends. We also talk about the changes that occur around us, be it places or people. Life is getting bored for me. It seems that I am always into a cycle of boredom. Each cycle consists of 4 cycles. It start off from the last ph Phase 4: Everyday is so fun. I am always having fun. Everyweek hang out with clicks and have fun and I hardly feel bored at all! ALso, this is the phase where I made more new friends with similar interests.Phase 1: Life is still fun, but you experience a bit of boredom. You still hang out with people you made from phase 4.Phase 2: Life just gets boring. But you still experience fun.Phase 3: This is the worst phase. Every weekend is so torturing. Time just seems to stop there forever and will never move. You are hoping for some outing but it just won't come. You feel that life is so meaningless and so wasteful.Phase 4: Is fun again! Now, you get to make new friends and hang out togethert quite often.Each phase takes about a year. SO one cylce will take 4 years to complete. SO which cycle amd I now? I think I am currently in phase 3. During 2004, I found new clicks and hang out together. Every weekend was something I look forward to. Meeting friends and playing games. But come 2005, life was a bit boring, but I still hang out with my friends.2006, life got even boring. 2007 was the worst. It is basically phase 3 for me now. I just don't know what to for the weekends and holidays. Others' weekends and holidays were really day for fun and relaxing. For me, it was just another day of rotting at home. My like just revolves nothing except working/studying or rotting at home. I practically have NO LIFE at all. How pathetic I am. I have wasted so much time. I tried to change, but no avail. Well, so were things change next year??? Or my life stuck in phase 3 forever??? Or I will get out of phase 3 earlier and proceed to phase 4?? I don't know...I am such a pathetic guy...

Today was ok except I met an arrogant woman."$13.65, madam. " She gave me a $50 note."Do you have smaller change?""Why? You run out of smaller change?" She hand me smaller change."Because alot of customers give me bigger notes, so no small change.""I don't want to hear what others say."I repeat the same reason. And she say the same thing."I don't want to hear what others say. I only follow my own principle."I was so pissed off with her statement. Probably because she feels that she is rich and she can say such a thing. WHo she thinks she is? The president or what? She should really be considerate to us and think on our shoes and not saying such a thing.Well, since I met a arrogant person, neverthless, I met a nice person. One of the doctor in the polyclinic came down to buy things, he already notice my skin problem for sometime, so he recommend me another medication and ask me to go and buy. Since the item is not available in tpy polyclinic, he wrote me a prescription and ask me to go outside and buy. So nice of him to write a presciption for me. I think I may consider buying that since he say it is much more stronger than those I am applying now.

Work is as usual for these few days. Nothing much really happen.Went to buy lunch for the staff today. Cause they need to stay back during their lunch break for a briefing. Luckily I didn't follow Hui Huang Advice, if not I am going to have a big problem. She asked me to just give the staff 2 choices for their lunch, and both choices are from the same stall. Then today, the stall was closed. So if I have not ask them whether they want other food, I need to change everybody choices again. About 10 people like that lol.By the way, did other body watch 80's rewind on channel 5, 8.30 pm on tuesday? I find that it is damn funny lol. You guys should watch it. Haha. Need to cut my hair this week. Is getting long le...Anybody asking me to go out this weekend??? Damn bored...

Work as usual. Check the expiry dates of the retail products. Check until my eyes pain. Present a topic on non-prescription anaglesics. Was ok. Abit nervous as usual. I kinda of have a feeling that some people in tpy polyclinic doesn't like me... They seems to be giving me a cold shoulder, ignoring me... Maybe is because sometimes my mouth is just simply too big, saying whatever that comes to my mind, reacting to anything that people say. I am already trying to control it, but sometimes, I just can't help it. Haiz... What should I do...

Haven't been blogging for the past few days. Let me brieftly summarize what happen...ThursdayDeepavali. Wanted to go bugis to meet friends, but then don't have the mood to go.FridayAs expected, it was extremely busy. More busier than Hari Raya. I was the only guy picking medicine during the lunch hour. Like a crazy man, walking from right to left, left to right. WOrk non-stop from 1 pm to 5 pm. I wonder why do people fall sick on holiday.SaturdayQuite a quite day in pharmacy. Guess most people have finish their business in the pharmacy on friday. But suprising, manage to get a satisfactory amount for the retail sales. Went to Panther's place in the late afternoon to play B3. Did enjoy my session. Jog at night. Think I need to jog regularly to build my stamina. Did not have a good sleep. DOn't know which idot moving things in the middle of midnight.SundayQUite crowded outside my house. My neighbour getting married. So all the buzz around. At night, went to his wedding dinner. Initially, don't feel like going. But then, since they invited us, we should attend. And it was really a wrong mistake to go. It was held at hilton hotel. The dinner started so late. Around 8.40 pm. Then teh dinner serve soooooo slowly. I wonder did they realize that people need to work the next day. IN addtion, instead of my mother and I sitting together with other neighbour, we sat in a table where we know none of the people. A bit wierld lol. It just feel strange. If I have stay throughout the dinner, I probably would have to take cab home and you should know the waiting time for cab is soooooo long.... Anyway, the dinner wasn't really that fantastic...MondayWOrk as usual.Anyway, I was looking at my school fees bill. I wonder why they make us make school fees when we are out of school for 1 sem. Can save the money lol. Then worst still, I not taking exams this sem, and they make me pay the exam fess... What the...

Second dispensing session today. Today dispense more drugs, which include diabetic, hypertension and some other acute drugs. Well, of course still feeling nervous la. Then also got made mistake like I didn't check the tablet strip (to check whether the drug is correct). Instead, I check the label. Also, I am still talking like a parrot, just repeating the instuctions from the label. Certain things I did not make myself clear or not layman enough. I really need to train up on my communication skills. Dispensing may sound easy to people, like just say how to take the medication, but then when you are really do it, you find it difficult. You will be nervous, fogetting what to say, you are panick, don't know what to check. And when you know what to say, you say wrongly, or in a unclear way or not layman enough. ANyway, Miss Chia visited me today. She came awhile then go off le lol. Ya lol. Like that. Anyway, more to learn about the school when I go back on 28 nov for student dialouge session. Miss school:(

Time flies. It is 8 weeks since I came tpy polyclinic. I will say this week will be my most fruitful week in tpy polyclinic. I tried out dispensing, went to nursing home (although not that fun) and then involve in seeling BP set, talking to customers and many more! How wish everyday in tpy polyclinic will be the same!!!Sometimes I wish I can continue to stay in tpy polyclinic. People here are nice, is near my house and I get to tried certain things, etc... It will be sad if I am going to leave this place. But well, I should try to make every of the remaining days at tpy polyclinic a happy moment...Hope I can dispense more this week... And the supersales woman is back tomorrow...

Yesterday I went to United Medical Centre (UMC), a nursing homw. Basically go there to check the expiry date of the medications, then Bandy review the medication of the patients. Afterall, that's the job of a pharmacist. Quite boring la. Then the packing also very sticky. Must go and wash hands after checking. Heard a female dementia patient screaming lol. Then got another mild dementia patient, who keeps insisting he wants to see a doctor as he complains of constipation. Then must lie to him, ask him to sit there guai guai and the doctor will attend to him soon. Is quite funny to see patient actually hook in lactulose. Well, these patients also quite ke lian la. You can see those workers shouting at them lol. You might think that these people are bad, but then it is not easy to take care of dementia patients. Getting dementia is like the reverse process of aging. When you are young, you start to grow and learn things. You learn how to talk, how to think, how to eat, etc. But when you get dementia, the reverse occurs. You slowly starts to lose your memory. As a result, you get sad and cry because you can't remember anything. Then you get depression. You long for people to be around you. So when you keep pestering the workers, then they get fustrated and will scold you. As it progess, you will also forget those around you. Slowly, you starts to lose some of your body function, for example you cannot feed on your own. Then you need to have tube feeding. And the final stage, you cannot breathe properly, need some device to help ou breathe. You will just be lying on the bed, don't know what's happening around you, don't know who are the people around you and you are just waiting to die. Really sad to see such people in these state lol. I wonder will I be like that when I am old...
