Top 5 Stuff Kit Learnt In Placement

1. Kit learnt that she eats more during placement. A glass of milk in the morning. A cup of hot chocolate during morning tea break. Packed lunch from home consisted of rice, vegetables and meat plus a banana plus two bars of KitKat for lunch. A cheese&ham sandwich for afternoon tea break. There are absolutely nothing to do during breaks besides eating. Wonder she has put on some weight?

2. Kit learnt that the moisturizer dispenser outside her pharmacy satellite is very useful. She now have the habit of dispensing a small amount of moisturizer for her hands everytime she walks in and out of the satellite. That is like... every ten minutes? It smells so damn good. Totally love it.

3. Kit learnt that she loves the after work rush. She loves the huge amount of people crossing the roads and millions of trams congesting the city.

4. Kit learnt that 40 minutes are insufficient for her to get ready in the morning but she tends to wake up later and later each time! Gahhhh....

5. Kit learnt why her boyfriend sleeps so early every night after work. (Bean: Finally!) Tee hee...

P/S: I was stuck with drug info today and I suddenly miss my preceptor who asks a lot of questions eventhough at times his questions made me look very stupid because I always can't answer his questions. However, I learn so much under him. The sad thing is I won't get to work with him anymore. =(

Pissed.

Damn pissed.

First Day

I have officially worked 8 hours today, started at 9.00am. Finally completed my first day of placement and I couldn't help it but to say how much I enjoyed my first day. I learn just so many things. (Besides the fact that I felt quite stupid not remembering half of what I studied thus not able to answer the questions being chucked at my face! Sigh... )

Another 8 hours tomorrow! Gosh... I actually forgot how it feels like to wake up at 7.00am in the morning. I haven't done it since college! What is worst is I have to wake up earlier tomorrow because work officially starts at 8.30am!

P/S: You guys should so visit kennysia's blog. What he just updated really made my day. Is so damn funny! So everybody, click here! Trust me... is all worth it.

Unexpected Happiness

Remember the dress that I told you I was deeply madly insanely in love with?

Last Wednesday, I had my hopes and dreams high up to buy my dress from Portmans with 20% discount in Melbourne Central as it was having a VIP sale on that day. I had no other intention to shop anything else except to bring the lovely dress back to my home. Once I stepped my foot into the shop, I was frantically searching for my dress. Looking at every corner, every aisle, every rack. But to my disappointment, my dress was not anywhere to be seen. I asked the salesgirls and they did not even know which dress I was talking about. Sigh... I had no other choice but to leave the shop empty handed. I ended up buying a top for Bean.



As usual, I whined to Bean about the shop not selling my dress and that I really love it. And just yesterday I found out that he did not even understand what I was whining about. He thought the shop did not have my size! *puke blood*

After the sad episode on last Wednesday, I have decided to pay the full $140 for my dress because I have been dreaming about it every single night.




So there I was again heading back to the exact same store where I found my dress. I stomped into the shop to the exact location where the dress was used to be. MY DRESS WAS NOT THERE ANYMORE! NO FREAKING WHERE TO BE SEEN! OMG.... I FREAKING CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! FOR THE FREAKING SECOND TIME!! Okay nevermind, calm down! Calm down! I asked the salesgirl if she seen a beautiful white dress with black flowers on it made of silk. She took me around the whole shop pointing to me which ever white dress she saw or which ever dress with flowers on it. And all I did was shook my head! All of the dresses she showed me were not the one that I am looking for. I seriously was about to give up until the salesgirl asked her colleague and she said she remembered trying it on! After five minutes, the girl came to me with the dress in her hands! OHHHH YESSS!! MY dress... my love!!!

Salesgirl: Oh... this dress is on sale!!!! $99.95!

*jaws dropped* WHAT????? $99.95??? That is a FREAKING bargain!!

Oh my god... She honestly made my day. Until another salesgirl came to me...

*jaws double dropped* WHAT?????!!!!!! EXTRA 20% OFF?!!!! Is this my lucky day or what????

My dress came up to a total of...

$79.95

*cheeky smile*

Tee hee... bloody happy (and this is an understatement!) =D

Placement

One thing great about my uni is that they arrange placements for you in different type of Pharmacy environment such as hospital, community and rural (yes.. the ulu-ulu areas that do no have anything but trees... just kidding!).

So I have finally received my first placement few weeks ago. And my first placement is going to be in hospital! I am sorta picturing me going to experience some gruesome looking conditions in patients. Hopefully something like severe head trauma or lost of a hand with blood flushing out. Something like you see in Grey's Anatomy. =P Isn't that cool? Okay fine... I am mean. I am hoping people will be injured so that I could see them. But but... I am just trying to get the most out of my placement you see! =D Maybe the placement that I am going to experience is far off from what I am expecting it to be. I probably involve in sticking labels? Blekss... Please please... don't just ask me to stick labels? *doe eyes*


Believe it or not, I was pretty excited to receive the name tag! Wahaahaha... OMG... Now I could act all professional, 'Good morning sir, I am Kit. How are you feeling today? Oh... you probably just need some Demazin. Take this x times a day after meals!' Fuh.... So professional!!! Geee... I doubt I will be diagnosing patients and prescribing them meds. And again... I probably involve in sticking labels!

I could not believe they are so strict on clothings because it must be business wear! And what would I do to get the perfect outfit? You are so right! SHOPPINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!! Somehow after I did all my shopping, I kinda feel I am going for a fashion show rather than doing some serious jobs in Pharmacy! Tee hee... but at least I am having fun dressing up in high waist skirt with button shirt. Totally love it! Sadly, they do not allow high heels! *sobs*

Anyway... wish me luck that I will have loads of fun!!!

P/S: Stop asking me how much I am earning because the fact is I am earning 0 dollar for 8 hours 5 days a week job! Bean thinks that I am worst than a kuli because kuli get paid at least but at a minimal wage. He terms me as a 'slave'. *ouch*
