Want sleep!!!

Just reached home (at around twelve). Din get much sleep last nite, being at a class world cup outing at mr. lee's house. Quite a few ppl came (around 10, dun feel like listing them all). The german match rox, with farnie stuff like showing oliver kahn many many times, displaying the sarcastic smile of the referee when he sent off 1 player, lehmann mishandling the ball, nearly causing an own goal... Argentina match's a let-down, after a promising start by the 2 nations. No wonder many ppl slept thru that match. :p Played soccer earlie too, which's very hilarious, esp when ppl just dun wanna score (cos they dun wanna be keeper). Dinner with kenni nono n yk at thai noodle house. Weird that we're talking mainly about ns stuff when we told the aunt that we're from hc to enjoy the student prices... A wild nite!

Did my last duty medic last wed. One hell day too, with one of the ambulance stuck at ah for most of the day. Then for some unknown reason i decided to write (ippt ended. NO CASUALTIES.) in the log book, n ended up getting two casualties at six plus after office hours, n sending another 3 patients along with those two to tengah using the other ambulance which i was not supposed to touch at all, in case it's to be activated. But at least could sleep on a mattress that nite, since no more patients're left unattended other than those hospitalised.

Disruption next sat. Shall enjoy 1 month of slack, even though I may leave the medical centre needing even more manpower next month to deal with around 200 more new recruits from bmt...

Dun feel like sleeping. Dun want to disrupt my body clock...

Time to blog...

As I've said below, the last two wks're damn damn busy. Working non-stop in the medical centre, screening so many recruits who like to report sick for minor stuff like ankle sprain, muscle tight n blah blah. Ok lah. Some're reallie real cases, but quite sian when u've to register so many ppl. And still need to do so many ecgs, urine tests, visual aquity tests for recruits, ord personnel, and even reservists. Oh, and work till sat too. Onlie booked out sat morn. Once to jab the recruits, and yesterday's voluntary. Went for cover on fri for saf day rehearsal, which lasted from earlie morn to nite. Driver's late! =D He's still a private lor, and going to ord soon (in aug i think). Nvm. Beside the pt. So, what i did there: waited for the warrant officer for an hour, bef getting my walkie talkie, then went to safti medical centre n slacked. Basically, role's to send any casualty (from the parade) from the medical centre to other places like nuh if needed. In other words, do nothin' at all. Then at nite was made to go all over the place n wait, like the diff carparks (A, K, I), bef finally going back camp at 9 plus. Decided to stay on yesterday to earn another half day off. Tired. Have to say, prefer to work at armour medical centre than safti. MO much nicer!

Anw, got many interesting cases too at armour. Suidical cases, p cases, n many more. Can't reveal much though. Medical-in-confidence, which means all the medics'll be gossiping about it. :p

World cup feva. Quite sad that I'd onlie managed to watch 3 live matches so far. Nice game earlie this morn, watching cech pulling numerous saves, onlie to see ghana win in the end. Oh, n m'sia deliberately sent a poorer quality of feed to us, so we couldn't watch the world cup using their channel rtm2. Fri nite was damn farnie in the med centre. All the medics staying behind was so desperate to watch the world cup on rtm 2 that they tried manual tuning all the tvs in the medical centre. Never knew there're so many tvs there lor. We even brought out an antenna from the tv inside the lect rm to a bigger one in the waiting rm, to see if the quality's better. Imagine us rotating the antenna round n round like a radar when the tv's auto-tuning... We din succeed in the end. Ha.

So much for crapping. Heard disruption letter out next wk. Pray hard!

Mixed..

Ojt finally ended on wed, with a theory n pract test. Din study much for it, n wrote some er hilarious answers on the script (though quite sure there're ans that're more funnie that what I wrote). Nvm. Went for a ride around singapore earlie that day too, to look at some of the evacuation routes during civilian disasters. Trying very hard to keep awake throughout the trip (sitting rite in front of the sergeant!), and dozed off rite away when he said we could rest a while. Liked the lunch too, at ecp mac and changi village food court. Not often that we could get out of camp n enjoyed some er.. nutritional liberty. Our sergeant actually went for the trip 8 times lor, which's quite unbelievable cos i felt sian even going thru it once.

Kenna spot check on the bunk by our csm who just returned. Whole place in mess, so not surprising that we've a 2 hour area cleaning after working hours. Tv got confiscated too, so couldn't watch the opening match yesterday. Sigh. And today'd to stay back in camp to jab the new recruits! Quite fun to poke though, as some ppl came to get injections feeling so nervous that it's fun to watch them respond to the needles. Total of 200 plus ppl to get jabbed (2 times, plus a few drops under the tongue for typhoid, tetanus, polio) though, so imagine preparing n jabbing so many times. Took a little less than 4 hours to finish. Ha.

Booking in tmr morn for my first duty. Sian...

Sadistic??

Drawing blood's fun! =D Ipre's like so boring at times if u've nothin to do, so a few of us new medics just crowded in the treatment room n watched our seniors draw blood from the ord-personnel (ffi for them bef they ord). Then our senior decided to allow us to practise drawing blood on the patients, bef most of us got our blood test done by our fellow peers. :p Talking about drawing of bld. Heard one case of some medic causing whole hand to experience hematoma when trying to draw bld from a major. How that happens, i've absolutely no idea lor. Reallie, how difficult can drawing of bld be? Nvm. Enjoying my day off tmr!
