Many things happened. Let me see what I can recall.
Last Thursday, there was a talk by the Perm Sec of Health. Seriously, I wanted to pay attention to the current issues concerning health care so I would be updated when I graduate. And perhaps go into Pharmaceutical Society of Singapore and do something there. To my disappointment, I think the Perm Sec had too much time allocated to her, so something very simple has to be explained in multiple sentences such that I lost track while trying to follow the truckloads of words. Initially, I was fully concentrating on her; halfway through I didn't bother to anymore. In any case, people around me weren't paying attention anyway.
I only vaguely remember the contents of 1 out of 2 videos. That video was about how people can get diagnosed with a chronic disease such as diabetes and then how she would be referred to her preferred GP for follow up, and referred to another place for annual checkups and referred to... some other places. It was confusing me. I didn't think it was a good idea. I mean, yeah, you provide convenience to the patient by letting her choose where she wants to receive treatment, but then you waste time on administrative matters too. Like booking appointments, etc.
And another issue: GPs may have to get a specialist in Family Medicine if they wanna be GPs after graduation from medical school. That means, people who want to be GPs because it's the easy way out (ok, maybe people who think like me), they don't have an easy way out anymore because you still have to be accredited as a specialist. If I were intending to be a GP (regardless of whether it's the easy way out or simply my interest), I would cringe. On the other hand, I am kinda happy they did this because there's no point making pharmacist renew their licences every 2 years and other fellow healthcare professionals don't have to. Hmm. Treat everyone fair.
Now let me go on to FYP. I have to do a lot of things. But I haven't started. I printed out some articles I found and I printed 2 copies. -_-" So there goes my $5. Wasted. Anyway, I'm very happy that I don't have to go down to NCC tomorrow 'cos I'm very tired already. Anyway, I lied to my FYP supervisor that I was halfway done with the task he gave me when actually I haven't started. Oh well.
My tutee is giving me problems. Again and again and again and again. There are 4 major problems. First, she dislikes coming for tuition, so she'll keep postponing tuition sessions and we end up making no progress. Second, her track record isn't going as well as it should be. Third, she hates Science and doesn't do Science when I ask/tell her to. Fourth, I can't finish teaching her all the necessary stuff. Even if I manage to, I wonder what's the percentage retained.
School is giving me a lot of burden too. I haven't started on my elective project, and there are CAs and assignments. I think studying would be more effective for me if the department made school start at 10 am. Ending at 6 pm simply drains me of my energy and I do nothing on weekday nights. Like how I feel right now.
Today, I totally gave up and fell asleep in Dr Grant Sklar's lecture. I didn't want to, but I was so tired, I just dozed off in seconds. I was sitting in the front of the lecture too! I am very sure Dr Grant Sklar saw me. Oh well. Now I have another thing to do: listen to his lecture again. And oh shit! He was showing a video on x-rays but I was sleeping through it. Now I won't know how to read x-rays. =(
And I wanna thank James for trying so hard and patiently to explain to me Factorial Designs when he could have better spent the time mugging for the CAs. I took a super long time to come to terms to what he said and perhaps understand most of what he was trying to do. And Yee Wen too! She's been a great help.
I met my junior because she wanted some of my old notes. I met her a second time when I was buying KOI bubble tea with Debra. She was like, "Are they selling it to raise funds for some voluntary work?" I replied, "Erm, I don't know, but I don't care either." LOL! Dear junior ah, this is me, your senior, Christy, who tries to make her world as simple as possible.
And Seoh Thin found my FYP supervisor on Facebook and saw him this evening. In "tight shirt and jeans" and looking like "eye candy liao". Haha. I do have to say that my FYP supervisor does dress well, and oh my goodness, his eyes are beautiful. Eye lashes and eye balls included. If only I had those eyes. Haha. And so recently when I'm taking the MRT back home, I would look at the eyes of guys (old and young alike) and I find that most males have thick eyebrows and long eyelashes. So not fair! =P
For now, one thing that can keep me happy would be to search for nice music and listen to them. And sharing them is my hobby. Haha. But there aren't many good songs recently, so I've resorted to digging out quality songs from the past year (2009) which I have missed out and listening to them instead. So I've put in new songs for my blog! If you like those songs, you can check out their names below:
In order of playlist arrangement,
1) Beautiful Life by V.O.S.
2) Over Time by Baek Ji Young
3) What Should We Finish by Soyeon (of the group, T-ara)
4) Love is Bitter, Pain Is Calling by Seo In Young
5) Love Story by Jewelry
6) Lonely Night by December
I love "Beautiful Life". I used to encourage myself by saying "Life is beautiful" when I was in JC. Now, I think I have to change my self encouragement line to "What Should I Finish?"...
