My weekend saturday duty ended this morning where i booked out at 0800 hr and went to meet JL for a swim. The weather was fantastic then, just that only the middle section of the pool is open for public use. Kids learning swimming, couples flirting in the pool, narcissistic guys lying under the sun tanning themselves and other swimmers doing their routine weekly/daily swim, i guess...what a day to start with. I went back at noon time, took a shower and go out with my parents to have lunch outside in town. After which they did some shopping around the area. Came back when the sky started raining heavily. Made me very sleepy. Juz went to took a nap. Anyway, i have weekend duty again next sunday. Well, i should have accepted the high frequency of doing weekend duty ever since i was posted to my new camp, especially when we now face severe manpower shortage. November is coming and i can confess that this could by far be the busiest month for me here in camp. I have overnight outfields every week with one that is most significantly long. The whole med ctr is involved i should say. Felt very sian upon welcoming november. I wish i can endure through the ardious month in a blink of my eyes... i hope. Doing a HOTO file from scratch is difficult. Especially when there is no Dispense IC in the past. It would be a year before i can hand over my appt to my successor, do not know why i am rushed to produce the file so early. Well, i realize things were not as simple as they seemed to be...

The most dreadful walk to the MRT station...happened less than an hour ago.
Walked from camp to MRT in civi and canvas shoes.
Not wearing any socks so i suffered abrasion at my right heels.
Plus it is raining, hence i carried Juson's big pink umbrella on one hand, pulling the right side of my jeans on the other (my jeans are dragging on the wet floor)
Reminds me of routemarch somehow...
Too lazy to wear socks...too "thrifty" to take feedle bus...
What a day...

Week 7:
Nothing in this world is constant except changes. This week has yet to be over. I just happened to be on nights out where I can muster some time to blog about the past 4 days. Exactly, there are changes all around. Just when you think you've comfortably settled down on something you think you are comfortable with, here comes constant typhoon blowing you out of your comfort zone. Just before IQA last week, our new senior medic came in, eager to change the way the medical centre is running, for the better. After the horrendous results of IQA, the changes came bigger and faster than anyone can expect or hide for shelther. It just came pouring. I was unfortunately one of the victims. Just when i thought i am the new perm MOPA, learning all the MOPA things, there came my unexpected and uninvited surprise just hours ago...I am transferred over to Dispensary Dept. And that could mean i no longer need to do PA duty. While being a Dispense medic is an easier job, i somehow feel that what i've learnt as a MOPA for the past 3 weeks have been put to waste. Hopefully they could seek my call to allow me to continue PA-ing for like 1 or 2 days a week so as to put what i've learnt to continual usage. As such, this could have mean that Baby MOPA has yet to survive the game and thus shall "restart the game" as a Baby Dispense. Darn!!!
Another thing that is bothering me and is going to continue bothering me, is the annual leave problem. Currently, we experience severe shortage of manpower. With all our ORD-ing seniors clearing their offs and leaves, there are only 7 active medics left in the medical centre. All of us 7 active medics have our own annual leaves to clear. And we know very well that in this scenario where manpower problem arise, one person's taking of cleave is at the expense of another. As such, we face the first level of problem in annual leave taking where we hardly have enough people for daily routine duty plus covers for other unit. The second level of the problem surfaces when our "fave" unit wants to indent 8 medics on the same day (some day in nov) for some impt cover (reason i shall not disclose). If we only have 7 medic with one being a service (cannot go outfield), where on earth we find 8 for them? Furthermore the 1 week long cover (same for all 8) starts on my driving test date !!! Which means i have to either cancel or postpone my driving test. This could've mean 3 months later for my driving test??? As such, we are expecting our "fave" unit to bombard us with more of these kinda things in the month of dec which means how on earth do we have time to clear our leave??? I think my annual leave sure kena eaten le.
Well, i am expecting more things to come my way. I really envy the ORD personels....
PS: I've heard Jay chou's new song "cowboy very busy"....IT SUX TO THE CORE !!! Sorry jay chou fans out there reading this...i really cannot accept his new "wang fu sound alike" song.

Week 6:
I've learnt a lot being a MOPA for the past one week. That is even though I've only PA-ed 4 out of the 5 days according to my duty schedule. However there is still much to learn and I still have a long way to go as a PA. Hopefully i can attain the efficiency of my upper studies soon enough. I feel quite irritated this month especially during weekends because I may be called back anytime for a reason i shall not disclose. Just feel very annoyed as i have to constantly keep my phone on and be prepared for any sudden call or something. Cannot even enjoy my weekend. Sigh. Anyway, IQA was horrendous. We failed miserably and i guess the consequence of that is going to be detrimental, though not yet surfacing but soon to be. Well, we shall soon see... and lets pray my phone or assigned pager dont sound off tml night...
