The time now is already past 12.00am but this is what happened on 24th March, 2004.
First stop, post-mortem. Forensic department.
Oooh ahhh!
I was a big fat chicken initially. Was doubtful whether I could take it or not – being a blood phobic. I think all of us (Jin Song, Rose, Tracy, Fue Chin, Joanne and I) were expecting the worse or somewhat – so in the end, it didn’t turn out too bad after all.
It was a clean case, no spurting blood or any of the kind.
No smell that was too horrid – only smelt like raw chicken when you’re cleaning it.
No sudden movements from the dead body like in movies – this is the result of watching too much telly!
It was a sudden death so the body was cut up to investigate the cause of death. The scalpel was super duper sharp. It can cut thru the man’s ribs. Imagine how sharp it was! Don’t mess around with a surgeon. The ruddy thing may look like just a small blade but never judge anything by their appearances, no?
Second was my MOPD appointment.
Bah!
I ended up being “consulted” by a HO (houseman officer). Wasn’t too much of a difference from my previous appointment – just that this time my blood and urine test results were out, all normal.
*hee*
She referred me to SOPD (surgical out-patient department) and my appointment for that is next week (31st March 2004). When will this all stop? No medication given to me – which is gooooood.
I was really selfish in deciding what I wanted for dinner. I didn’t think that LC would not like raw food – thank goodness I asked just before she arrived.
We went to Madam Kwan’s instead, at KLCC. It was alright. I think Little Penang/Penang Cafe(? Which is which, eh? The one in Pyramid) is better with their Char Koay Teow. I think the time spent was too short with LC – I had to leave early to come back to Seremban (to feed Brinkley). We yakked and yakked despite the table being rather wide that we had to talk louder – so our conversations didn’t really touch any too private matters. *hehe*
It takes me so long to earn RM500 but I can just spent it all in less than 3 hours. Or even faster if not because of dinner.
*hehe*
Dang!
Oh, FYI Miss Yap, I bought it. The smaller one. They have the trial set (but it was “out-of-stock” in Isetan. Forgot there was a Parkson in KLCC! Sheesh!) going for RM98.
Quite good what. It comes with cleanser, toner, moisturiser and the star of the product. *wink*
P/S : And I’m becoming helluva driver. *haha* I sped thru the Seremban-KL highway at 140 km/h and didn’t realise it! No wonder I got to KL so quick despite leaving at a quarter to 6pm. *haha*
I did it!
Uhm…*haha*
I meant I finally went and got blood samples taken for all those tests that they needed before my next MOPD (Medical Out Patient Department) appointment next week (24th March). Dang! I forgot to take note of the nurse’s name, the one who gave me a painless time. I was so afraid that I almost pissed in my pants…
Y’know at times when you’re just so afraid that you go all giggly just to cover it up? Stupid me was like that the whole time while the nurse was calmly (very professionally) taking about 10cc of blood from me.
Woik! 10cc doesn’t seem much but seeing it in a syringe…
*wobbly knees*
It looked like half of me has gone in there. 10cc from a calcium gluconate vial is not much. 10cc from a soluvit vial is not much…but 10cc from yours truly is like…is like…a whole lot!
But the nurse was really good. She did it in less than 2 minutes. And no bruise! Not like the last time in Royal Infirmary. Poke sampai blue-black, yet no blood. Hmmph.
Well, well. I need not act anymore!
*yay!!*
I am very happy standing together with the choir, croaking my lungs out, thankyouverymuch. Jocelyn would have to act then…don’t know who will guide us when she leaves temporarily for stage. Maybe Derrick.
I’m posted in TDM (Therapeutic Drug Monitoring) right now…till end of April. So far so good. It’s the recording of patient’s info and progress that’s a dragggggggg.
This is so silly.
A doctor wanted to have a TDM done for a patient who’s on Vancomycin. I’ve already interpreted the results and sent them the report. The drug level in the patient’s blood has gone into the toxic side. The sensible thing is to withold the drug for 3 days and then restart it on a lower dose. But noooooo…he just changed it to the lower dose and now wants me to do another TDM report on this same patient.
*fed up*
You want me to interpret and tell you what to do but you don’t want to follow it. What’s the point?
Anyway, Miss Leong, though I am not going to be dragged across the stage, do come for the drama if possible, okie?
*haha*
It’s for 3 days! Take a pick.
I’m feeling like cereal! Honey stars, here I come.
To end, this is what I typed with the old-fashioned type-writer today when I had no TDM appointments/forms to do.
there was a fat cat
the cat was black
so it didn’t mind that it was fat
because to be slim is black
and it was a cat
I’ll repeat what I told the girls yesterday – yesterday was a cheap day. *hehe*
It started off with me waking up about 10am (bliss! It’s been a while since I had the chance to sleep in a little) and just lazing about till 12pm – where we attended Farizan’s (our TPN pharmacist) wedding. Free food!
Thereafter, good ‘ol Hoey came all the way from Putrajaya (she was at a colleague’s wedding, too!) to pick JoFo and I up from Seremban – we were supposed to go to Klang to celebrate Siow’s birthday (be-early). So off we go…and free food again!
*haha*
Siow chia us seafood by the sea (Crabs, prawns, bamboo-lala thingy, oh-chien).
OoOoOooo…so I guess it was worth our journey all the way to Klang.
And of course, to see the birthday girl.
It was very eventful, too, because we (Hoey, LiYen, Sze-Mien, LiMay, Kohpu, JoFo and I) all went in one car. One big huge MPV and it was driven by the youngest one in our group – Hoey.
It was like a field trip thingy – everyone talking at once, shouting at some point because the “Godzilla” was so big.
*hehe*
Hoey said the MPV was named “Godzilla” (apart from the size) because of the number plate – 5226. When it’s pronounced in Hokkien, it’s “Goh-jee-jee-lak”. *hehe*
In summary, a great time just hanging out together…bitching (as LiYen puts it), gossiping, laughing at each other, stuffing our face, embarrassing Siow (by singing at the top of our voices at the seafood restaurant. So loud I think maybe those small motor-boats that passed by that place would have heard us!) – just one great all-girls event.
—
Easter is coming! 5 more weeks! And the drama + choir events would be held in church for 3 days! Fuyoh! Friday & Saturday would be at night (I think) and in the morning on Easter Sunday. So if you know your way around Seremban, come! Do come. It may change your life. *beams*
