First friday at the workplace....

Maymay gave us two files about SOPs and Oncology PT/PA training. There was a major miscommunication coz the Oncology pharmacy staff is usually busy in the morning. So we helped to pack some medication in the CR. Our packing are double-checked but mine, for one, I gave extra drugs.

Oops… Foziah showed us how to use the tablet counter to count loose tablets and put them in a bottle. For promethazine syrup, I have to pour from original bottle to another new bottle via a conical measure. Then I pasted the label on the new bottle, write expiry date on the label and bundled both together. We also pre-packed adaptors together with syringes and topped up some stock.

Chia yang told us to read through the part on aseptic dispensing and she will test us later as she nds to go for a mtg. She asked Katijar to show us how they prepare the cytotoxic medications in syringe form, Kimberly to teach us how to break an ampoule, fill up the syringe with the content of the ampoule and normal saline, May to show us how they prepare the labels for the drugs and what are they for.

aiyo... wat do i have to do....

Pat did an overview of Total Parental Nutrition (TPN). She spoke berry fast. Since she was busy, she briefly explained the reading materials and we looked through them. We followed a PT to walk rounds to collect the TPN or IV mixture forms from the Neonates’ ICU (NICU), Neonates’ Special Care (NSC) and Women Operating Theatre (WOT). Neonates who are premature or with complications, are sent to the NICU. When they are much better, they are brought to NSC. Then they can be discharged.

Jia Yang briefly explained what is PIP and what she wants me to do but… I still kind of confused. I was asked to find information about PIP from the KK intranet… haiz… no password to access so need to use my I/C’s.

Saying that she wants me to write out a synopsis and gave mi some ideas. Then she will read through to see whether I understand what she meant and wrote the correct thing. If it is okay, I send one copy to Mr Ko to see whether it is related to my course of study and that I have to choose a suitable title. The sch will see and approve it.

I spent a few hours typing and scratching my head to tink abt ideas. But I still have to go home and tink through.

Need to see Rina again... haiz....

Yoke Hwa drew out the hierarchy of the department of pharmacy for us and explained to us how hey purchase the drugs. Then we are brought to the pharmacy store and take a more detailed look at how the drugs are categorized and kept. The freezer was spoilt because we found a long iceberg-like ice block inside.

Our orientation with Rina hasn’t complete yet. We did a recap of the job scope of a packer and what should be covered on the label. We were tested and corrected many times to familiarize ourselves the proper way to stick the label. Some leaflets of drugs must be removed.

Rina as the empress dowager cum my Geography teacher that im most afraid of....

Weird… why Pete appeared again in my dream? But the dream was nice lah (at least it is not nightmare le)… this may have make mi miss him again….

Rina gave us a drug list and procedures on how to pack the medication. These are to be memorized and applied… Great…. We noe less than 10% of the drugs, I tink. It is worse than exams or dpp practicals…. coz we were tested on how to calculate the quantity of drugs and read prescriptions. Even though now the doctors type into the electronic system for the prescriptions, Rina wants us to also read doc’s handwriting (cnt really make out some, though) and see whether thr are things tt we dun understand. She seems to mi, like my sec sch geography teacher... (will have a nitemare with her in it soon….) but cnt blame her lah…. Shez the overall pharmacist-in-charge. Shez cnt spoonfeed us mah, must make us tink but im juz stupido lah…

She gave us another (more detailed) tour of the hospital and introduced us to the remaining staff. She shows us the Central Line Drug Delivery System (CLDDS) with 3 "taps" to allow 3 different drugs to be injected at different timings.
Tink I won’t be able to make it le (Chia Yang says dun luk so sad and feel despair). After I actually meet her a tiny while, I find her berry kawaii and nice de. She passed mi a booklet to read abt (saying itz related to my upcoming MP) but dun seem really related to what I learnt in sch leh… hmm…. Tmw gna call mr ko baa… he muz be worried… so paiseh…

Met Bro Kelvin at Bugis…. I tot I heard wrongly… he still joked abt mi and Sam jr together… wat??? Ppl like to assume things…. Ask whether im wrking for the expo sale… "Noo lah, cnt. Attachment le" he looked upset that we are not able to be with him during the sch holiday…. Haiz…. Wna to lah but… he made the same comment as another fren of mine (go tell the guy, you like him lah)…. Ahhh? I have beta things to do…. Im not implying hez boh liao but… I duno how to say….

So blurredd.....

Had a dream in the early morning abt grandpa… hmm… suddenly miss him sia…
So tired and bored…. Saw Becky, Sam and shoo yi… kind of awkward lah….
Crap!!! I 4got to bring IC and bank book… great! First day lah, im doomed… Being showed around the place so confused…. thr have 3 auto machines to move things ard… (One big "bug" like robot aka. the cockroach) and introduced to some of the staff in the different pharmacies. Stayed in the Women inpatient pharmacy (WIP) the longest, helped uncle to pack some drugs and stock up the almost empty trays of drugs. The pharmacist in-charge of me, Ms Chia Yang wasn’t free to discuss my MP, saying we r mtg on wed… ahhhhh??? It wasn’t writing in the time schedule leh… since shez still not sure and seems berry busy; I apologized and end the call. Shirley’s pharmacist in-charge, Mr Hing explained to us the dept he leading (drug info dept) and how to find information online. He gets calls from ppl in kk or other hospitals also who have queries.

Why i meet my laodi and we go east coast park again?

My laodi wna mi tutor mi his practical test the next day… but he brought the wrong textbk lah… Diao… he wna eat at the coffeeshop except that I wasn’t hungry (he afraid I’ll stare at him)… Boh liao loh….
We passed the seats that we sat b4 (with Pete)… Diao…. I tink I miss him again…. (Sobz….) he wanted to cycle…. The!!! Of course I won’t want…. Next day first day of attachmt mah….

When we are abt to go home, Derek called. Hmmm… So rude loh that boy…. "Amanda Foo. Hi" I replied, "why you called." Then we kind of argued again… after we end the conversation, I asked my bro… "Really ‘sounds’ like a guy ahhhhh?" "Yeb," he answered. I dun care abt xiao pang loh…. In the end, cnt fall aslp… haiz….

itz been so long since we last meet up and chat le..

Gone to meet with Aiwei, Meixiu and Li Min at V8 movie cafeteria thr. Ate the seafood pineapple rice. It looked appealing lah… the prawns were berry fresh and soft…. it tasted kind of weird (coz the sauce kind of too thick and the rice was spicy)….
So long never meet them le… haiz…. Meixiu wna mi fill them in what happen these few months…. and they said, " berry interesting ahh!" Right….
