More or less? It just doesn't seem right.

It's the third time this month. I've got to stop it.

Pharmville

An event organised by the NUS Pharmaceutical Society where we get to learn about what pharmacists do and about our health in an enjoyable way. 


There were 11 games booth set up at NUS Science Foyer, outside LT27.  


The first game we tried was a computer golf game by an external company - Xepa. The goody bag is so cute. Nicer than the happy meal box..haha..


Some other games are:


1. Drug design and synthesis - Right seed, right soil

  • Research pharmacist
  • Use ball and stick model to create and modify drug compound
The drug we were told to design was an ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitor, Enalapril (if I didn't remember wrongly)


2. Drug formulation - Barnadol
  • Formulation / Industrial Pharmacist
  • Mix and match activity to learn about different dosage forms
We were told to match the different types of panadol - those suitable for infants, kids, adults.

3. Good Manufacturing Practices - Drug harvesting plant
  • Industrial Pharmacist
  • Practice good hygiene in manufacturing to prepare a visually uncontaminated solution.
We need to prepare a pure NaCl solution with 1 teaspoon of salt and 50ml of water. 

4. Patient-centered therapy - Jumble trouble
  • Hospital and Community Pharmacist
  • Learn how different therapies applies to similar disease states through jigsaw puzzle. 
I think the one we need to solve was gastric pain. Quite simple, just 8 pieces of puzzle :D

5. Dispensing and drug information - Bee-zy pharmacy
  • Outpatient Pharmacist, Drug Information Pharmacist
  • Part 1: Competition to see who counts pills the fastest and most accurately
  • Part 2: Roll a toy car and learn more about vitamins and supplements.
I don't remember playing the second part but we manage to win the first prize for pills counting..yippee - $50 Capitaland voucher!

6. Compounding, quality control, labeling - The cornpounding pharmacy
  • Compounding Pharmacist
  • Make coloured capsules and learn how to check and label
It's quite difficult to close the capsules. But we still manage to complete it.


7. Patient safety - Pharmer's market
  • Dispensing Pharmacist
  • Sort white pills according to prescription
This is where we learn about the weird acronyms that doctors use. 

8. Myths unearthed - Pharmyth
  • Drug Information Pharmacist
  • Read the posters around and answer 3 simple questions
One of them was the use of Vick Vapour rub on kids. 

9. Health screening - Pharmville barn
  • Patient Care Pharmacist
  • Free basic health screening
  • Height, weight, blood pressure, body fat, blood glucose testing, anti-oxidant level testing
We didn't do any of these. We just answered some questions on the drugs usage and its main components.

10. Word NO Tobacco Day - 31st May
  • Health promotion
  • Learn about harmful effects of smoking and enquire about quitting smoking and counseling by a qualified Unity pharmacist
We just went there to get a bag tag and pen :D. Didn't need to do anything at this station.


At each booth, we get to earn a stamp to redeem prizes at the end.

FYP - Confirmed

I've finally decided on my FYP prof. It was a difficult decision but I hope I made the right  decision. 


Today's supposed to be the released of SPM results. I wonder how my brother did? :D


For the final 3 weeks of the semester, I've got 2 take home assignment (25%), 2 continual assessment and 1 pop-quiz. I'm beginning to feel that 24hours a day is not enough. Need to work harder!!


Anyway, TPJC 25th Anniversary Homecoming Dinner will be held on the 28th of May 2011. There's a high possibility that I'll not be able to make it as I plan to go back to Malaysia at that time. Wonder if any of my friends will be attending?

Lift Maintenance

The lifts had been taking turn to go out of service. The maintenance is scheduled to be over by this Saturday. I hope it will be done soon. It's really quite inconvenient to have only one lift functioning at a time especially when we need to go up since we can't use the stairs to get into our cluster.

FYP Second Interview

Went for my second interview today with my prospective mentor, Grace. It was not really considered an interview. Basically she told me more about what we will be doing in the lab and the people. Based on what she said, it seems to be a helpful and friendly lab to work it. 


Awaiting confirmation from the prof now.
