Week Report

It has been a hectic week, interview with Ms Lim Siew Woon, an oncology pharmacist from NUH, MKT1003 presentation right after the interview, getting a not so good grade for the presentation, and today's pharmacy sports carnival, although i din really help :P

The interview with Ms Lim is extremely informative and inspiring. Now i know that being an oncology pharmacist is not as easy as any tom dick and harry thinks. One very important point to become an oncology pharmacist, or any other professionals in fact, is passion and the willingness to sacrifice. What type of sacrifice? Mainly time and effort. Time as you're expected to be really generous with your time. If you thinks that you need a five day work week. Do the patients fall ill only during the weekends? The cancer cells have five day work week too? You come to work early, e.g. 5am in the morning? Can you leave early? Like 3.00pm just because you came early? Let me ask you a question. Have you finish doing your work yet? What if your patient goes into ICU at 4.00pm? I think this is the main reason pharmacist in Singapore prefers to go into industry and mostly non-hospital related areas. True, you may earn more money if u go into retail pharmacy, a five day work week when you go into industry, but at the end of the day I think the most important is the job satisfaction. You earn a lot of money so what? If your life is empty, you're just an empty vessel anyway.

Enough of being philosophical, another lesson that I've learned during my presentation is that ALWAYS THINK OUT OF THE BOX! True enough, information can be easily obtained, but the creativity part is always the x factor which decides whether you'll clinch a deal. Time to go for more training in presenting.

Finals is just 3 weeks down the road, hopefully I can start my engine going next week. Over and out.

You are seeking an affectionate relationship, offering fulfilment and happiness. You are capable of powerful emotional enthusiasm. Deep down, you are a kind loving person, always helpful and willing to adapt yourself if necessary to realise the bond of affection that you desire. But you need the same consideration and understanding from others and it is this need that will sometimes hold you back... so let go, trust and you may pleasantly surprised at what happens.

At this time you 'need to be needed' and again you 'need to need'. You have had this feeling for some time now and you are looking for someone who could share a close bond in an atmosphere of shared intimacy. You have the belief that with the right person you could conquer the world.

You are confined and trapped in a distressing or uncomfortable situation and seeking some way out. Whatever you seem to do to resolve the problem hasn't worked out. Fortunately you are able to gain some aspect of relief from someone close to you.

From every direction there appear to be unwarranted restrictions on your freedom of action and this is producing considerable stress. You're really looking for independence and freedom from any restriction and therefore avoiding any obligations or anything which might prove hampering. You are being subjected to considerable pressures and you would like nothing better than to escape from them but you tend to lack the necessary strength of purpose to succeed in this. Whichever way you turn you are being frustrated. You need to be free to do your 'thing' in your own way.

You wish to be left in peace... no more conflict and no more differences of opinion. In fact you just don't want to be involved in arguments of any shape or form. All you want is for 'them' to get on with it - and to leave you alone.

To slack, or not to slack?

One project down, one more presentation to go. Hopefully the presentation goes well given the relatively little effort I put into it as compared to the project. On a side note, I just had my last physiology tutorial for the semester (Yay! No more physiology for the rest for the course!). Kind of confused between all the mullerian and wolffian ducts... Blah blah blah... Hopefully the finals give me more common sense questions. I want CAP 5! Easier said than done. Back to the question, should I slack a bit before the finals? I wanted to, but the reality is always cruel, I CAN'T! My teammate just informed me that I need to coordinate an interview with a pharmacist in NUH and we're supposed to make another presentation on thursday... Haih... 人生短短数十年, 为何就不能让我快快乐乐地过完这人生的篇章呢?

Projects!!!

Argh projects projects and more projects!!! How the hell am I supposed to think like a geographer after decades of being in science stream??? Luckily my project mates are the do work kind, if not I'll go burn down someone's house sometimes this week.

Looking more at the bright side, I have tutorials which I have no idea how to tackle at all and presentation next wednesday. Hope I don't screw up during the presentation itself (*knock head for not S/Uing the module).

Been discussing very seriously with my friends about which model of digital camera I should buy. After looking at different models, I'm still for the idea of buying Sony cameras, since it looks better than other brands. But the price wise ... Can someone tell me whether I should get a DSC-W55 at S$399 or a DSC-T10 at S$499?

More Gundam Goodness

I finished this Force Impulse gundam on friday night, but don't have the time to take pictures of it until this morning. Thanks to Jeffrey for lending me his camera! As you can see, this is the close up look on the model kit. Notice the sprue mark on the shoulder armor? It's kind of some mistakes when i cut the remaining sprues from the pieces. Tried outlining it with my Faber-Castell Multimark 1513 permanent tho, didn't go too well so i scrap the idea totally. I'll try to figure out how to create a photo album in blogspot so i can post all the pictures i take into the blog.

Moving on to the blog site itself, you'll notice i've changed the tagboard due to excessive spamming of inappropriate comments. Anyway, the main reason is that this new tagboard looks sleeker and smaller, so i doesn't stand out that much as compared to the last one. Besides that, i have inserted a mp3 player in the blog too. Do feedback to me if you get any intermittent break during the playback (although i know most of you will just mute it. LOL). Expect major changes to the blog every now and then.

Now, the picture to the right. This is Gold Frame Amatsu, which appears only on SEED Destiny Astray. Considering that it's an astray mobile suit, the design is awesome. It's so rare that i see mobile suits with reflective black colour armor as well as the shiny gold. A nice kit so as to speak, but i'm more concerned about how long the shiny gold can last battling oxidation. One of the nicer gundams with nice and different head. In fact, it's the only mobile suit i've seen with that kind of head so far.

Alright, time to do biochemistry assignment due 18 hours from now. Pharm peeps, do remember to do! It's 5 % of the whole module, dun play play!

The Machine of the Supreme Commander

All hail freedom! This mobile suit is my first and most expensive master grade gundam I have ever bought. Just the not-so-plastic look along mesmerised me to buy and straight away assemble it somewhere nearing my A levels. Credit goes to Beng Kim, the photographer and Jung Seong, the "poser". I will be posting more of my collection in the near future. Professional modellers out there, don't laugh at my lousy skill hor, I'm still a noob. Anyway, I think this is the prettiest mobile suite out of all the SEED series mobile suits. Disagree? GET OUT OF HERE! Hehe just joking, hope I can complete my backlog of almost 20 model kits in the near future. Cheers.

Parturition leading to ... FREEDOM!

Yay I've finally decided to make a blog. If you think this is yet another complaint/boast/rubbish/nagging blog you've got it correctly! Somehow I feel like I have nothing to write but have to write something so I can get my personal blog going! That's all for this one minute work, gotta go play DOTA!!! :P
