Off Day~

Today is Vesak Day in Singapore.. I was told Msia's Vesak (Wesak) Day is not today but in May o_O Why the discrepancy?

Yesterday was 13th Day @ Work...
There was a Continuing Education talk in the morning, on Pharmacoeconomics... Morning session was spent dispensing medicine in the ATU followed by my weekly discussion at 11am... This week's discussion was on "Colon Cancer"... I was not so prepared this time as compared to the previous time because the day before, Preceptor V asked whether we could discuss about 2 topics on Wednesday.. I was a bit reluctant, but I thought it would be alright.. so I said OK.. then, after I went for the clinical conference with Preceptor A, he gave me another 2 topics to discuss on Wednesday o_O .. So, I had to read up on the 4 topics and at the same time do the finalised version of my discussion handout.. I decided to forgo one of the topics and concentrate on the others.. I slept less than 5 hours that night... Which resulted in a very drowsy Wednesday despite a cup of coffee in the morning followed by a cup of tea...
Despite that, I got through the "Colon Cancer" discussion.. not well though cause I did not check out some of the terms I put in my handout.. I knew I would be asked but I just did not have time to check them out.. Or more accurately, I forgot to check them out, somehow.. my memory is failing me once again..
As a result, I could not answer their questions :(
But at the end of it, Preceptor A still said "Good Job!" like he always does.. which made me feel weird cause I don't know whether he meant for he say.. If it's not good, or below expectation, I would not know.. hmm... I hope it's at least meeting expectation though...
This was followed by a mini discussion about the clinical conference the day before... In the afternoon, it was another discussion with Preceptor V and I was so embarrased when I told her I did not read up on one of the topics she gave me .. We went on with the discussion anyway...
The day ended after she taught me about ambulatory pumps...
Tomorrow will be my last day in the Onco Pharmacy.. It had been a very enriching 3 weeks.. Very thankful for all the time spent by my preceptors and the other pharmacists and nurses to teach me despite their very busy schedule.. Although, most of the afternoons I am left by myself in the pantry or library to study, I am glad for those time to read up...

There were some guests in my house yesterday night.. Bird and KY's JC friends.. after they left, we watched "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" but I didnt manage to finish the movie, I fell asleep on the couch >.<
I woke up this morning feeling rather weird.. cause it's a Thursday and I'm still in bed at 9.16am! I guess I had felt rather attached to NCC now.. attached to going to work.. even attached to the smell of that place o_O
Planned to study today but was sooooo lazy! Ended up going to the cinema with Thunder to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 3!! It was not as draggy as I heard from others.. The pace was OK.. I didn't even for once glance at my watch... Less Jack Sparrow in this instalment but more of everyone else.. not so much comedy as POTC 2 but better storyline... it was worth the money too cause it's near 3 hours! Did you stay til the every end?
Cause there's still another scene after all those looooong credits.. Thunder heard about it from a classmate, so we stayed and the credits were about 10 minutes long! Why do they want to leave the last scene til after ALL the credits???
We came back right after the movie.. and continued watching movie on TV.. finished Shallow Hal (2nd time watching this is still interesting!) and 50 First Dates.. now it's Ocean Eleven..

Random thoughts

Was talking to KY and she told me being sad can make people become thin... True? Maybe I should try being sad... ;P

I had been very absent-minded nowadays.. I guess it's the stress from work.. I'm always stressed out whenever I work.. LAst year I was stress cause my working partner was a dean-lister.. Now I'm stress cause I'm the only one there and nobody else can help me answer questions! Sigh...
Even my tuition kid said that I had not been myself lately.. She said I looked like a very alert person.. But when she came yesterday, the whole house was helping me find my misplaced spectacles! I seldom misplace my spectacles although I always misplace my other things.. After near half an hour, I found my specs hanging on the hanger near the bathroom -___-

Many people had been asking me the purpose of going for the summer exchange... Many people thought it's related to Pharmacy and when I said no, they are quite shocked..
"So, what's the purpose of going?"
Hmm.. So, was it a wrong decision to go exchange to somewhere I had been to? But it's the xperience of exchange that I'm looking for.. not really the place itself...

Suddenly have this feeling of going to US recently.. One of the pharmacists in my working place had left for Chicago (i think) today for a major conference there..one week later, 1 of my preceptors will be flying to Colorado for another major conference and another preceptor will be flying to San Francisco... :(
I want to go to US too!

My roommate asked me whether I'm still going to Europe with her for graduation trip.. Had to disappoint her though cause my account is depleted...
Sigh...

The End~
