It's finally the weekend again! After the past 4 days of working in the outpatient pharmacy, i'm really pissed off with ppl who(i) are lazy, or (ii) are slow at work, or (iii) practise taiji and push the job to others. When there's a HUGE pile of medicines to be sorted, (i) lazy ppl just pretend that they cannot see the huge pile of work to be done or they'll act busy when they're not.. (ii) slow workers still continue to do work at their usual "slower than tortoise" pace.. I really wonder why they can't increase their efficiency abit since they have eyes to see that there is alot of work to be done..(iii) ppl who know taiji arrow others to do it.. Everyone kept arrowing me to photocopy the prescriptions when they can do it themselves.. Really feel like telling them "Why dun u do it urself?"In short, i just cannot stand lazy, inefficient and irresponsible workers!! Should get rid of all these useless ppl.. Think the amt of work i do each day is greater than the total work 5 such lazy workers can do... So irritating!Today, i decided to prepare a Western meal for dinner cos i really had nothing to do.. Chicken chop, mashed potato and baked beans.. Did everything from scratch alone.. It was my first attempt at this dish, so it was not impressively delicious.. but i'm glad that at least i managed to prepare something that look like chicken chop and mashed potato.. haha.. Asked simon to come over and eat, but i waited so long and was so hungry that i ate without him.. =( Anw in the end, he finished everything and said it was quite nice.. I din really find it very nice though and felt sorry seeing him put everything into his mouth.. =p He probably tasted my hard work and effort put into preparing it.. It was prepared specially for him anyway. Something unexpected happened after he came.. Surprised and sorry abt what i had caused..Great Singapore Sale has started! I want to go shopping! ;)
Hmm.. the long weekend is over!! without me doing much.. =p Other than having 2 tuition sessions over the weekend and hitting the gym today, i spent the rest of my time waiting.. Waiting for simon to come, waiting for food, waiting for my cold to go away, waiting for 4D results, waiting for time to pass, waiting for myself to feel sleepy, waiting for bedtime.. So, the weekend is just gone like this.. doing nothing.. haha.Gotta return to work again tmr... Having this weary feeling now.. dun feel like doing OP liao..
Yes, i know men are just made differently from women (otherwise the book "men are from Mars and women are from Venus" wouldn't be so popular) BUT.. I really can't understand...1) Why do men hate shopping?In my definition, shopping includes (i) window shopping, (ii) walking ard the shops without a aim at first and just see if anything catches ur eye, (iii) checking out all the shops that sell what u want to buy and compare the different designs, colours, prices, etc before making the final decision, (iv) going to different malls in a day (i can walk from orchard wisma to plaza singapura to raffles city to bugis, pretty normal right?)... I just dun understand why, to men, (i) shopping has to be got over and done with in 2 hours (will their legs break if they walk for 8 hours?), (ii) shopping can only be carried out when u have something to buy in mind, (iii) shopping should be restricted to one location only, (iv) there must be lots of seats for them to sit down in the shopping malls, (v) shopping is a chore! (i mean, it's the greatest pleasure of my life lor!), etc etc..2) Why do men have poor memories?I listed this down because last weekend, i was asking simon abt what gifts i got for him on each special occasion.. and he was thinking really hard to recall.. With my clues and hints, he got them more or less right in the end.. But anw, i think he should write everything down cos i'll normally test him when i'm bored.. haha.. Hmm, I can remember everything he got for me on special occasions very clearly lor.. Even what we did on these special days, the times we quarrelled and what we quarelled over are still imprinted in my mind.. ;) Anw, the incident just set me wondering why men forget so easily.. Poor memory? 3) Why do men like to feel superior to women?Look at which century we're living in now.. Pls reject the "men are superior" hypothesis! True enough, there are certain things that men can perform better (eg. fighting in a war..) but women today are not any less capable of achievements..4) Why are men hesitant about showing their love and affection in public?Guess it's probably linked to the superior feeling that they like.. Is it less manly if a man shows affection to a woman (say, talk softly to her or treat her gently or pick food for her in front of his male friends..)? I don't think so..5) Why do men ogle at women who have big boobs, who wear low-cut tops and short skirts?WHY? I just dun understand what's so nice to see.. Is it satisfying to see big boobs, or a deep cleavage, or the G-string that lies beneath the short skirt? (",)" Even if u can see, u can't touch.. So why do u still look?6) Why are men insensitive and unromantic?7) Why do men watch porn and have so many sexual fantasies?8) Why do men attribute every problem of a woman to PMS? Yeah.. We, the poor women, do suffer from PMS every month.. But, it does not mean that whenever we are demanding, lose our temper, feel unhappy, etc, it's confirmed + guarantee chop that it's PMS that's bugging us.. 9) Why are men sloppy?Hmm, i got this listed cos there's this man working in the hospital who always comes in shirt and pants which are crumpled.. Very very crumpled in fact.. Just as if he had thrown them into the washing machine to spin for 10 hours! Actually, we find him quite a cute guy.. But, if he can iron his clothes before wearing them to work, he'll be much more presentable and eligible! And, i dun understand why some men dun get a clean shave or trim those protruding nostril hairs.. 10) Why do men bitch and gossip too?This used to be a favourite past-time of women only, but men have evolved to bitch and gossip too.. And, they can be very mean with their words too..
We've been going around the various wards to read patients' case notes.. It's kind of sad to see ppl being tormented by diff diseases and their complications.. We've seen a HIV patient suffering from several other illnesses and is extremely pale and weak.. There are many with diabetes who had lost their sight, had their toes or feet or entire leg amputated and are still battling their illnesses.. There are the elderly patients who are unable to speak or carry out the activities of daily living and just lie in bed all the time.. There are others who get one disease after another, one complication after another, have one operation done after another, but are still in bad shape.. =( In short, it's a very sad scenario for patients who are suffering.. Sometimes, there's really nothing medicine can do to help.. If u have a healthy body, cherish it. We may not realise it, but there are so many ppl out there who are less fortunate than us.. Recently, i realised that i kept getting bruises though i did not knock into anything in my conscious state.. Out of no reason, one or two would appear on my arms or knees.. I wonder if i have a bleeding disorder like hemophilia or von Willebrand disease.. Or maybe i did knock myself when i was asleep.. Going to the doctor is a no-no! now cos suddenly, i'm scared of seeing one.. I'm not ready to know what's wrong yet.. shall wait and observe for a while more.. Maybe it's not a problem at all.. =pAnw, I always tell simon to rem this.. If i ever have to shave my head for a brain surgery, i'll rather die.. If i ever have to undergo chemotherapy for cancer treatment, i'll rather die.. cos i can't imagine waking up and seeing myself without my long hair.. I think i'll go crazy! Yes, in simon's words, i'm a vainpot who wants beauty rather than life.. haha..
Today is the 3rd day of my TTSH attachment.. It's another eventful day! Followed a great satellite pharmacist around the wards to see how she works and learnt lots of things from her.. I even had a go at dispensing medicine and counselling a patient in the ward who was to be discharged today. Very interesting experience! Think i can learn and remember much more from these practical situations and real life experiences, rather than memorising from books and notes.. I just feel more enlightened now! =) Anw, I dreamt of cyn last night.. Guess i've seen and talked to her so much in the office for the past 2 days that she appeared in my dreams at night.. In my dream, she told me 4 digits.. 4D! When we were in office this morning, i told them abt my dream.. All 6 of us got so excited abt it and everyone decided to chip in to buy 4D cos they probably thought i was their God of Fortune! hahaha.. Cyn and i even saw a tube with the 4 digits in the satellite pharmacy in the ward! So, 3 of us rushed down to United Square and searched high and low for the S'pore Turf Club to buy our hopes during our lunch break.. haha.The result: The number never come out tonight! CHEY!! Wasted our time discussing what we'll do tmr if we win money.. If it really comes out, i'll get 5 treats from them lor.. =(
Just read Jar's blog and found myself mentioned as the "Miss G who went tm's house to help prepare bbq food during 1st yr chalet".. haha.. When simon played mj with the others a few days ago, they mentioned this same topic.. Yeah, i went tm's house ALONE to prepare bbq food for class chalet in year 1.. To me, it was just a helpful act carried out without much thinking.. I mean, i'll do that for any friend if i'm free to help.. So, what's the big deal? But, that lil act of mine turned into a topic for gossip then.. =p I guess when a man and woman are seen tog, a rumour is bound to develop.. Imagine if the tm that i helped was a gal, will there be any gossip? Probably not.. Back then, i was said to be playing hard to get.. Gosh! [I'm not like a piece of pork right? Why would i hang myself high up there for sale?] I wasn't even interested.. When i'm interested, i can even make the 1st move.. Play hard to get? Never.In the past, i always thought that men and women can be platonic friends, even very close friends. So, when a guy friend is friendly to me, chats with me online, asks me out for a meet-up, etc, i'll treat him as a friend.. Like any other female friend.. I won't even think that he's interested in me.. But, i eventually realised that i can regard a guy as a friend.. but he may not think so, the ppl ard me may not think so.. The hated rumours arise.. So, most often than not, men and women can't exist as platonic friends.. The relationship tends to develop into something more.. Or, ppl gossip abt it so much that it affects the relationship..I'm bad at handling relationships between men and women.. Back in my young teenage years, i've been on many dates with guys whom i regarded as friends.. Though some of them were interested, i rarely sensed it myself early.. They must send obvious hints, tell me explicitly, or i must hear gossips before i realise the interest.. haha.. So, i must have sent many wrong signals back then.. I'm so sorry for those whom i led on.. I really wanted to develop a FRIENDSHIP with u cos i thought that was what u wanted too.. =p Am i being insensitive? Or is it because men always think there's something more when there really isn't? Pls rem this: whenever i'm nice to u, i treat u as my friend.. If there's something more, i'll tell u.. Dun think too much into it k..Whatever.. I won't ever help to prepare bbq food at any guy's house alone again.. Not going to be helpful to men other than simon anymore.. haha.. The curious ppl out there can stop wondering if i'll help in food prep for chalets in future.. =pLastly, for recording purposes, i fell down today cos it was really slippery after a heavy rain.. Now, my back and butt hurt.. i can't sit or lie or stand or squat or bend without feeling pain.. Poor me!
I really enjoy giving tuition to my P3 boy.. He's so smart, cute and funny that i wish i have more time with him every session! Today, he asked me 3 questions..
Question 1
TH: Why do hens hate cooks? Me: Because they kill them to cook?TH: No.. It's because cooks beat eggs. He further explained to me that eggs are laid by hens, so hens hate cooks who beat their eggs. ('-')"Question 2TH: An Indian boy saw a $2 note and a $1 coin on the floor. Which one will he pick up?Me: Both?TH: No.. He'll only pick up the $2 note.Me: Hmm.. Why?TH: Because Indians always say "yuan2 de4 bu4 neng2 na2" (meaning: cannot take circular one), so he won't pick up the circular coin.Question 3TH: Another related question.. An Indian boy saw a $10 note far away and a $2 note near him. Which one will he pick up?Me: $10?TH: No.. He cannot pick up the $10 note because "yuan3 de4 bu4 neng2 na2" (meaning: cannot take the far one).Hahaha.. Isn't he just so cute? He'll have lots of interesting things and crap that he thought of to share with me every lesson. What a joy to teach him! =)
