Ah, this is the life.
A lazy Saturday morning spent reading the papers.
Joycethebug still gets a thrill when she comes across the grocery page.
Lenetheshitling contemplating whether she’s eaten to many charsiewbaos for breakfast.
Then decided that she did and attempted to do sit ups.
Megasales just started. Shoppinngggg!!!
And meeting up with Dianabanana later who is sounding groggy on the phone.
Double yaye.
Afloat on a sampan through the mangroves
No moon light in the shadow of the night
Only a velvet blanket sprinkled with twinkling stars
Shimmering in the darkness of the universe.
Along the river bank, among the trees
Living sparks light the way
Tiny luminsecent wonders flash in synchrony
Behold the fairy lights of fireflies that line the shore
As if it was Christmas day.
Yayzers, with forensics down there’s one less thing to fret about.
*victory dance*
I kid you not when I said that I overtagged.
Shy shy la. Other people have an average of about 5-10 tags per book. I pulak tag every nook, corner and cranny of my book. Kiasu-ism betul.

Oh oh, caught up with the one and only FionnaWYTan who was there for the exam too. Haven’t seen her since Glasgow. She’s still very much the same hip, happening, busy as a bee, social butterfly that we know. Had lunch with the bunch of PRPs from the bureau. So happening lor they all. A whole party of them there. Makan lunch also occupy the entire row of tables from one end to the other. Ahaha. The number of IMU bureau PRPs alone is equivalent to the number of PRPs at my workplace. Beh.
Sometimes, directions don’t lead you where you want to go to.

Bang, jabatan farmasi kat mana?
Terus sampai hujung, nampak pintu automatik, masuk, belok kanan.
With that, he vanished.
So there we were.
3 silhouettes ambling along the dimly lit passageway.
After turning what seemed like endless corners, all signs disappeared. The only sign was that of the arrow pointing straight towards the emergency department. Following that, we came to the end of the corridor. Nothing but the emergency room on the right.
*scratch head* Tipu la the guard. Not here also.
***
As we were about to turn back, I caught a glimpse of a door, slightly ajar. Something drew me to it and for a fleeting moment I thought maybe, just maybe, it could be behind that door. Heaving the door open, I was encompassed by a veil of darkness.
Silhouette #1 stopped in tracks, “I don’t think it’s in there,”
In the back of my mind, I knew that because all it was was a pitch black passageway. Curiosity however, got the best of me so into the newly found passageway I went. I wasn’t thinking of anything, really, till silhouette#2 came running towards me clutching my hands saying, You know, this is like in the movies…
Haha yeah, dark walkways. White light at the end of the passage…
…and nothing but the sound of our footsteps can be heard.
I chuckled in agreement as we went on about the possible things that could happen (things popping out from the shadows etc) finding the whole conversation rather amusing until a brown wooden door emerged from beneath the shadows. Then there was a brief moment of silence as I looked up at the metal plate on the door and saw the words
AAaaHHHHHhhHHhhh!!!!!!!!
And off I went dashing towards the entrance at the speed of light with silhouette#2 following suit.
OMG OMG OMG. Idiot la you! Leave me alone and run away!
Why did you all run?
DID YOU SEE IT??
YAAA!!
What? What? What did you see?
*laughs uncontrollably* No pharmacy..*laugh* …bilik mayat…ahahha
Ahahaha..Whaaat?!
***
Bumped into 2 nurses later on as we were relating the story to s#1. They gave us the same directions but pointed us in the opposite way than the guard originally pointed us to.
***
Cilaka betul lor the guard. Purposely one la he. Must have been hiding behind the pillars laughing his ass off. Bleks.
All that in the quest to find out where to report to next week.
I’ve been wanting to
So what are the odds of having all those 3 things appear in the daily paper on the same day?
It’s a sign I tell you, it’s a sign.
***
Bah, I’m so bored. Reading law is the most boring thing ever. Why make things all so panjang lebar when it could be summarised in a short and sweet sentence.
***
I’m on a tagging frenzy and no, I don’t mean the facebook kind. My law books have layers of tags upon tags. I think it’s on the verge of being overtagged if that’s even possible. Oh and I didn’t even realise that there was this whole chunk of code of conduct thing to read until I was doing PYQs and there were questions on it. And I was like, got COC in the book one meh? Flipflipflip. Don’t have also. Rupa-rupanya its not in the books. Found it elsewhere minutes ago. Exam on Monday. Whoopee.
Screw it la. I’m going shopping now. Just because.
With my bionic ears I hear..
The splashes into the pool, the screams and laughter.
The chitter chatter.
The claps and cheers.
The music blaring from the speakers.
More squeals and boisterous laughter.
***
Who am I kidding.
I don’t need to have bionic ears to hear all that is going down below. Even my deaf grandmother also can hear. (Not that my grandma’s deaf la. Although her hearing’s a wee bit impaired. Ah mah, if you by some sort of weird twisty black holey, parallel universe way happen to stumble upon this and if by some bizzare sprinkles of fairy dust and wave of a magic wand way you could read this astonishingly, I apologize for calling you deaf.)
***
Oh no, they’re starting to sing now.
“Tell me whyy, I can’t seem to face the truth…..London bridge is falling down falling down…*wheeeee*”
Hahaha..So random la they all.
They couldn’t wait to retreat to the karaoke lounge (chewahh I make it sound so chunted) to sing their hearts out.
” You’ve got the beeeest of both worlds..”
“You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess, it’s a love story baby just say yes”
“You’ve got me begging you for mercy, yeah yeah”
It’s like a mini concert going on in the front lawn.
I wonder if the neighbours are disturbed.
***
And all of a sudden,
*gasp*
SILENCE!!
No music, no singing, no talking.
It’s like they got zapped by aliens and have disappeared into thin air.
Cool beans.
I’ve got the peace and quiet I’ve been wishing for.
Now…to get some work done.
It’s a queer thing, time.
A moment can feel like eternity, yet eternity can be a tick of a clock.
And if I could, I’d stop time and make moments like these last.
7.40am and the phone rang. Nurse called asking for discharge medications for ALL the patients in the ward ASAP. Checked the system, printed prescriptions out and started filling the meds. Less than five minutes later, she calls again asking me if I was done. Cepat sikit. Wokayysss. Ingat apa? I was running a one woman show okay and technically it wasn’t even time to start work yet. And there you are asking me to hurry up. Sheesh.
***
Came back from perhimpunan pagi to start allocating regular prescriptions. Phone rang off the hooks. After one call, I literally could only walk two steps towards my seat before the phone rang again. Went back to my seat for like a few seconds and the phone rang again. Who else but yours truly had to dash to pick it up. Hung up and the other phone rang. Like a video in loop, I was running from my seat to phone to seat to phone to other phone to seat to phone.
Seriously, how la to do anything like that.
***
Nurse from the same ward called again asking if there was prednisolone for Patient Y. Put her on hold while I checked. Nada. Takde prednisolone la. Called back to say she sees it in the system. Ada. Tengok betul-betul. Checked. Prednisolone kan? Ya. Takde. Ada. Asked her what med it was again and she said metoclopramide. Rupa-rupanya she’s been saying Maxolon all along and not prednisolone. =.=
***
Another call came in as I was counterchecking the regular meds. Nurse from another ward wanted to know if discharge meds were ready. It was in the process of getting done. Once it was ready, I headed up to dispense them to the respective patients, only to rush back down after to OPD for lunch call.
***
Busy busy day. Yaye for being able to leave after lunch call. Had a hearty lunch/dinner at 3.30pm (what a time right?) then what better way to welcome the arrival of the weekend with a free scoop of ice cream at New Zealand Natural.
A FREE SCOOP.
In conjunction with their anniversary (or something), you’re entitled to get a free scoop if you present your IC to them. And if you don’t have your IC, you can purchase 3 scoops at the price of RM7.40. Which is so totally worth it when one scoop normally costs RM6.90. Too bad I only found out about it today and it was the last day. Oh well, if it’s any consolation, 30% off on regular and large take home packs tomorrow. 
***
So there were lots of insects lying dead all over the floor today. No idea why. Maybe it’s a sign. For what I don’t know.
Two were in the toilet bowl. I felt bad when I had to flush them but thought that it would be better than just leave them there to die of exhaustion trying to crawl out when they can’t. Then I thought to myself, “I wonder what it feels like to be flushed down the toilet bowl. Must be like being in a huge, high pressured water slide at a water park. Minus the floats. Swirl. Swirl. Swirling down into the sewage, not knowing where you’ll end up; another adventure awaits.
***
The entire room is now flooded. I may be exaggerating a tad bit. I had to kangkang my legs so wide that a baby elephant could go under and play London bridge is falling down, just to use the computer to print something out.
The stench is overwhelming. It’s dripping even more. Armed with masks and gloves, they cleaned the racks and its contents while I made morphine syrup. Didya know it contains lemon essence?
***
Just after lunch (which totally burnt my stomach), as I was talking to someone, I received a msg saying that there’s been a confirmed case. The fella told me to faster run. =.=
Silly fella. =P
***
The last hour or so was spent busybody-ing about the new case. Everyone was coming up with random theories on how easily transmittable it could be. Even connected the leaking pipes into the story.
All of a sudden I started coughing.
And a few stepped back.
***
Maybe the insects were a sign.
If you believe in such things.
The main room I’m suppose to be in stinks. The ceiling board is out. The floor is flooded and water is dripping into eight green buckets. Of all the pipes, the one that was leaking had to be the one that’s connected to the toilet overhead.
As such, I’ve relocated myself to another room and I’ve been sitting in front of the computer the entire day. Since 7.30am. I kid you not. My eyes have gone a wee bit wonky. Just a wee bit. Blurred vision. Pounding head. Ooh, I see stars. It’s times like these that I am thankful I don’t have an 8-5 desk job that requires me to be stuck facing the computer the whole day long. That would be an occupational hazard I’m not willing to live with.
It’s killing me having to sit here. It’s absolutely freezing. I might just well turn into a statue. Yeah, maybe I’ll be frozen here with my fingers stuck to the keyboards. If you see such a statue at the museum in the future, it might just be me. Oh wait, ice sculpture nicer. Yeah, I’ll turn into that pretty soon.
Well, I don’t actually have to sit here. But there’s nothing else to do. There are only so much 5S things that have to be done. I’ve made labels, cut them and placed them in their respective slots in the stores. I’ve made floor plans for each room in this department, written standard operating procedures for each machinery. I’ve done drug info searches, compiled safety data sheets and decorated the board. No preparations to make today. Nor yesterday. But I shan’t complain any further. At least it gives me time to do some research.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
40 minutes till I can clock out.
Thank you for listening to my rambling.
Bye bye.
