2 weeks without blogging.. WEW!! My goodness.. Haha..

I just finished my rotation last week (yay!). It was as boring as expected but thank goodness that it was not as bad as expected. I kinda like doing medication review although at times it feels more like a teacher marking student's homework, to find what is wrong and what is lacking. However, because it was at nursing homes, sometimes I wonder whether it is useful to really intervene when it comes to recommendation of adding new drugs. I mean most of these people are near the end of life already so I wonder whether the additional drugs will just be pill burdens. To be frank, what's the point of extending life just to suffer and live a sad life alone in nursing homes? But that is just my opinion lah.

From this rotation, I learnt that my communication skills in doing a short-but-sweet invervention suck! Haha.. Oh well =x I prefer to the outpatient where everything is more fast-paced. Just skype or call the doctor straight away and no need to think about how to beautify the sentences bah. Well no matter what, my feelings don't change. I still prefer outpatient setting. I want to talk to people who are capable to listen to me (even if they scold me as the down side of this choice). In fact, I feel a bit irritated when I dispense to very old people or people with certain disabilities. Not because they are old or disabled but because I don't know whether they actually understand what I am talking about.

My sister visited Singapore over the last weekend. As usual I brought her to sightsee. I was stunned to see myself in the photo because my face looks weird.. No wonder people are telling me that I am losing weight. My face looks elongated now. Not sure whether I should be happy or sad haha..  Accompanying her shopping means tempting myself :p I bought a cute squirrel plushie at Bugis. Haha.. I was contemplating whether to buy or not and my sister kept teasing me "Just buy la.. Look at the face. It is calling you to take pity and buy it!" Lol. Anyway I like to collect cute animals so since I don't have squirrel-shaped plushie before, I bought this. It is even bigger than my Hamtaro and I cannot put it inside the largest ziplock I can find :( Photos are coming, perhaps, in the far future. Lol..

I am a bit emo over the new gundam models. Haiz.. I have a complete collection of Gundam Wing High Grade models. Now they come out with the Master Grade sigh :( For each, it is about 2x of the the High Grade model. But the details are much nicer!! I am extremely tempted because it even has the pilot and the cockpit incorporated into the robot!! The finishing also looks sleeker. The High Grade models has a cheap plastic look with stickers all over :( Cost is not really an issue :( The issue is: my cupboard is already full and there is no way I can put in any more Gundam models :( Even my new action figures I don't know how already :(
My toy cupboard is full liao ;'(
At Kinokuniya, I am tempted to buy xxxHolic guide book (US version). I am not a big fan of it but I am completely lost about the story. Lol. Perhaps by reading this guide, I can appreciate the story better. I am also surprised that some US publishers are reprinting old titles such as Sailor Moon (!!) and Magic Knight Rayearth!! Aaah so sad.. Last time I only bought the Magic Knight Rayearth 2 book 2-4 :( Not worth it to buy now la haha.. This weekend Kino has 20% discount for members. Unfortunately, only 1 xxxHolic book left and it was opened. So I did not buy. Haiz.. Bugis did not have it and it looks like I have to go to Liang Court next Friday. The crowd today was crazy. I cannot imagine how the crowd be next week when the 20% discount is extended for public. Geez..

That's all for today. I will write again tomorrow about work related stuff haha.. Yesterday I had interesting experience with the rehab equipments and today I had a pretty interesting talk on Acne :p
