life without p.h.a.r.m.a.c.y

here comes the holidays and this is what i anticipate when every new semester kicks in.. haha i know how u guys will say; it’s bad to think of that. belum start studying, was thinking about holidays d. but it’s a NORM!

ok, a must pre-requisite to holidays is always exams. and this semester.. “lucky”? i have one oral exam for the whole 7 weeks of placement. u must have think that it’s voila…good la! only ONE oral exam uh? no no no.. not if that 12 minutes of sick nervousness determine that 7 weeks of experience and how able you are in swallowing heaps of information in these…

marked = studied

i was wondering at first.. how come the 2nd list is more extensive than the first since the latter is only 7 weeks compared to 10 weeks of the prior. then i realised.. this time, we don’t have Mondays in uni. so, there you are.. we need to basically key in all the mechanism of actions, indications, side effects, doses for different indications, suitability in pregnancy and breastfeeding, drug-food and drug-drug interactions, counselling points and etc. extensive..extensive. so that few days of study break, that’s what i’ve been doing. accompanied by..

paracetamol

“bible”

bad night sleeps and nightmares with tremors. i still can’t replenish the bad sleep that i’ve had. till now, i still feel as sleepy as ever and friends reckoned i looked drained..

cut! back to holidays.. so today, first day of the holidays. got caught by wy to drive her all the way up north to Warwick, just for an job interview, which later i found out that she don’t intend to accept the offer. really ta ma de.. then why go for the interview? cos.. she said she don’t know how to reject the manager. wth~ 40 minutes up north! but later, she bought me my coke! 3 glasses + swedish meatballs from ikea. yumm~ :)

now.. i’m looking forward to go Brisbane. to the surfers’ paradise! be back with more pictures.. anticipating ;p

take care pal.. miss u heaps

end of rotation 2

17/7/2009 .. .. .. tik tik tik… 5.00pm

yaaahoooooooo…. marks the end of 2nd rotation.

there goes 7 weeks of “anticipated” supervised training. probably i’m starting to get bored of what i’m doing. i’m relieved it finally ends. gotta say, these 7 weeks; besides the DA which gives me problems; otherwise, everything is fine. I like the place here.. my preceptor is a very good-looking nice guy with good sense of humour, the store manager who is adorable and chubby :p and a pharmacist assistant, V, who is a very friendly person. There’s actually 5 people whom i work with. i only mention 3.. so you know what happen to the other 2 :)

celebration? aihh.. it’s kinda disappointing when i give the celebration i had just now a second thought. Initially, i thought it would great, wrapping up the 2nd rotation with a good night out to the movies. Harry Potter? Rated 4 out of 5 stars?! MANNNN… you should really review your ratings! cannot be trusted! i felt like shit after the movie. halfway through the movie, i dozed off..occasionally awaken by sudden surge of volume. i ended up walking out from the cinema hall feeling endlessly restless ….ishhh!!

— THE END —

painful arse

venue: pitch black skateboard park (showered only by moonlight)

1st: balancing on the skateboard then starts to move forward..brake,  followed by acceleration

after 30 minutes: turn 360deg while on the board

was basically awed by a friend who effortlessly moves up and down the halfpipe..watched with mouth wide open

then that stupid ‘inner’ zk said to the surreal zk, ” if ppl can do it, why not you? ”

mana tau that innocent surreal zk followed the devil‘s whispers…

moved forward to the slope which is about 5 normal staircase height.. 1…2….3….skated down the slope!!  fuhh~ passed!

adrenaline rush..exhilarating.. it was FUN!

so, why not go again?! i like it…

second attempt, 1..2…3…okay, this time i bent down a bit cos i realised my centre of gravity is too high and i’m not stable on my feet. my feet slips off the board a bit…it all happened so fast, the next thing i know is BANGGG ~ i landed on the cold concrete floor. PAINFUL ASS, wrist and ankle! cos i landed on my hip bone! fuihh~ luckily hip bone didnt get dislocated wey.. no joking. but it’s a painful experience. although i’m in pain.. dont know why, still laughing! :D

crazy sheeettt i know.. but it’s really fun! REAL FUN weyy.. it’s awesome! ;p

bad weeks

It’s been a long long long time since i last get soooo sick. Damn, i’ve been coughing for 2 weeks+ and i am still. And i’ve forgotten when is the last time that i actually took an MC. The feeling of guilt was haunting me when i’m sick. On one hand, I wanted to go for placement cos i felt so irresponsible. On the other, I don’t wanna be selfish, go and spread my virus to everyone especially patients with multiple conditions as they’re most susceptible to infections. Guilt uh? Don’t know what to do.

guess who is the Medical Officer

It really drives me to the roof when i had to study for my visit. Though it doesn’t really worth a lot, i really stressed to make a good impression. I guess the nervousness really freaks me out. Though I think I’m well prepared… i dont know why i still feels butterflies in my stomach and it’s nauseating. After that 2 hours visit, I felt soo drained out. I feel sooo tired, so energy-less and so sleepy. Really feel like leaving placement early but i manage to work through the remaining hours. Today, i really can’t make it anymore. Slept most of the day.

Sorry W that i forgotten your birthday dinner. Don’t really mean it.. am really exhausted. Blame Roxithromycin.. i think it’s giving me confusion as well.

seen them at work.. didnt expect to see them at home as well ):

But i’m sure it’s not Swine Flu…just common cold experienced by most people during winter. No worries.
