Shifting…

It’s the time of the year again where we need to shift to our vacation stay room. Block 11 will be closed for conference so I was shifted to block 12.


Luckily for me, this time, my room is just located a few meters away i.e. at 12/6/O. I was planning to shift on Monday, but was just too lazy to pack and decided to get the key from the management office today and start shifting bit by bit.


Guess will be staying here for the next one monthWinking smile

IGC Outing

Started the day with karaoke session at Party World KTV located at Orchard. Of course, as in every outing, there are bound to be people that are late, thus, we waited for about 20 mins before making our way there.

First time going to karaoke in Singapore!!

We spent about 2 hours there before heading to Marina Square for bowling and dinner.

BC was so proud of his strike video that he watch it over and over again..ha-ha…Rolling on the floor laughing

Left earlier as I needed to be back in PGP for RA Review.

Post-Exam

Having endured people moving out last week; kids screaming at the amphitheater; cleaners shouting across the corridor; My exams are finally over!


In order to avoid the same fate as last year, I've decided to go and confirm my vacation stay room and to my disappointment, the same thing happened again. Not only they didn't know what's Resident Assistant, there's no room allocated to me. They just kept questioning me why I didn't apply for vacation stay. On top of that, there's no proper queue system. They just choose who they wants to serve first. There was 2 people that overtook the queue, not because they want to but because they were told to do so. And finally after sitting there for almost 20 mins, two of the staffs did not know what to do and direct me to another person. Maybe they should brief the staff on the procedures.


I also heard that we are required to pay for the trolley rental. Not very sure about this but I hope that's not true. We are already forced to shift to another room so that they can earn more money by renting out the place for conference, it is just not right for they to make even more money from the students by asking them to pay for the trolley rental. Given only 4 hours time period to shift everything, having a trolley will definitely speed things up. 


On the bright side, shifting around can make you throw all the unwanted things away. Sometimes, I don't even know there's so many things stuffed into my room until I have to pack them when shifting. Also, it's a good exercise for the lazy me :D


Going out for outing now..Packing? Wait till tomorrow.

Busy...

In the next two weeks before the end of the semester, I've got two assignments to complete, one poster presentation, one pop-quiz, and two continual assessment (one this coming Friday and another next Thursday).


I also need to prepare the info sheet for DSC3201 (one piece of A4 paper) which I haven't thought of what to include in it yet. 


Exams will start on the 23rd April and end on the 5th of May. After that, I'll be going for a long deserving break :) But that's not until I shift out of my room (again!!).

Maintenance in PGPR

After repainting the walkway, repairing the water dispenser and the lift, there's more maintenance work coming up this month:

Planter Box below my block - 1st to 15th April 2011

External Facade & Window Cleaning - 7th April to 12th April 2011

Replacement of Energy Saving Lights - 12th April 2011
I applaud the efforts taken by the management to improve the living condition in PGPR. However, I will appreciate them more if they were not done so close to the exam period. I mean, vacation is just a month away, why not wait till then?

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.
