The Battle of the Log Books!

And so it begins!

I have to submit my logbooks by 14/6 so that the whole “getting-the-signature” process can be done and so that I can submit the FINAL product to bahagian on 24/6!

This just means in the next 2 weeks I have to complete the 4 week TPN requirement(in 2 weeks!), do 4 viva’s (OPD,TDM, TPN, Pre-Packing) AND PASS THEM! Collect the logbooks from the preceptors…and fill up the 3 forms (Form 5, PRP appraisal, Borang Penempatan).

Sounds impossible??

I choose to believe that I can do that. And we’ll see how it goes… for now, back to my TDM slides! Patient has been in ward since 4/4/12. I wanna vomit blood already!!

After 9 months..

Last year this time I was busy preparing for my convocation. Now, M busy preparing to end my chapter of being a PRP. I am aware that most of my posts usually are of me complaining when I’ll be heading back to KL, when my PRP is going to end..and the list goes on. I guess I babble about those stuff coz I’m uncertain of what to do with my life after my PRP ends. Some are making plans to leave the service, to venture into business, some, like me, who have yet to figure things out, are just focusing on what I have to do currently, and try my very best to ignore the fact that I have yet to come up with a PLAN.

I had a plan. Maybe when I was surrounded with the right people, that plan seemed like a great one. Now, I don’t really know what I want. I guess I need to come up with a new plan.

Focusing on what’s ahead, I need to decide on where to ask for my postings. Although everyone might be expecting me to ask for KL, I think I might not ask for KL. I mean, I do miss the civilisation and atmosphere there, but having lived 24 years of my life with my parents, and now, living alone, I would like to live on my own. Face my own problems and solve them myself. What can I say, I’m enjoying my current way of life. Being responsible is something which I’m learning currently.

Hope everything goes as planned! =)

May! May! It’s MAY!!!

Yes, I am indeed as excited as my title sounds. I’m in MAY. 4 more stations to go. TDM, TPN, the last month in OPD, and alas! DIS. I remember looking forward to the day I will be in TDM and DIS! =) Now it’s really time for me to speed up my log books and what not, after all, I need to submit my transfer forms in another 6-7 weeks time and my log books in another 11 weeks time!!

Remember when I used to have a countdown of how many weeks were done?? Well, I lost count of that A LONG time ago but now I can start a countdown on WHEN I’M GONNA END MY PRP LIFE!! =D

Oh, did I mention that I’ll be back in KL from the 17th-19th of MAY??? =)

The 8th MONTH milestone

That’s right! Come next week, it would mark my 8th month as a PRP. I KNOW!!! ITS FAST!!!

Yesterday I was having this conversation with Radhika about how uncertain we are about our future. So I’ve decided we should just let the flow of things carry us to wherever we are suppose to go and we work from there. I also told her that we should have chosen a career in fashion(??!!!) (ignore me please, I was a bit off yesterday).

Anyway, I’ve started to pack my bags to go back to KB. (I will forever get depressed when it comes to this moment) But my work in unfinished and I can’t have my lunch until I finish it!

Also, I’ve come to realise that I really REALLY miss good friends. You know, the sort who would do anything for you. Where there is no sneaking around behind your back. Just plain good ‘ol honesty and sincerity. I miss that.

I’m also envious of Pumpkin’s life. Its so simple. She wakes up, someone prepares food for her, she eats, plays, sleeps. Everything else is taken care off.

I think the reason behind why I’m jealous of my dog’s life is because I’m upset that I have to go back to KB today. =(

Good Friday! =)

Its April the 6th and I’m blogging from my HOME!! =)

Things which I’ve come to realise and miss is the fact that my family still watches American Idol and I don’t (due to lack of facilities and time) and they can have a conversation about it and I’ll be all blur. Well, in case anyone is wondering, this is the first year where I’m not following American Idol..and now they’re down to the top 8? Wow! That’s fast!! Maybe even if I were staying home I wouldn’t really watch AI, mainly because I’ve been converted into a fan of ‘The Voice’! After 10 years or so of watching AI, I think I need something new. 

Speaking of new things, I’ve just completed the crazy 3-days-in-a-row graveyard shift at my hospital and I found it exhausting!! Maybe I’m too pampered, maybe I’m not used to it.. whatever the reason is, it exhausts me. The only plus point I get from this system is the extra 2 days off, which, as you can see, is being spent here in KL! :)

So the new PRPs are here. That just increases our number to 35 PRPs. Which isn’t much if you ask me as last year they had like 43 or 45 or 48.. not very sure, but all I know is that they definitely had a number larger than ours. Either way, I have another 4-5 months left, which is not much if you see it, but I still feel like I’m lacking the knowledge needed to be a Pegawai, and to think that in 5 months time that is what I’m suppose to be and amount of responsibility which I will have to take on is SCARY.

There are days where I wake up wondering why am I in this profession? I don’t hate my job, I would say that I like my job, but at the same time, I’m questioning if this is really what I would like to do for the rest of my life? Reading some update on the MPS website about private hospitals and community pharmacies as well as industries being able to train PRPs also makes me wonder if it is a good thing that I’m being trained as a PRP now? I can’t help but to be envious of the junior batches as they will have the chance to be trained in the industry or community pharmacy. How I wish I had that chance! =(

Enough of pouting and frowning. I wouldn’t want to increase the number of wrinkles on my poor face. I need to go and get ready to fetch my mom and head to the movies! Yes, Sham is heading to the movies with her mom! I think we’re gonna watch Mirror, Mirror. But I’ve haven’t made up my mind if I wanna shop or watch a movie. I don’t wanna do both cause I’m afraid my mom would be too tired, after all, i’m picking her up after work and its not like she getting any younger!

Another thing which I just realised about my self is that I SUCK big time at making decisions!!! arghh!! I’m horrible when it comes to deciding stuff!! pergghhhh!!!

Its 31st of March!

Yes! Another month done and over with. But… the list of “to-do” things just simply continues to pile up. Why you ask? It has become clear that procrastination is my biggest demon. I dunno why, maybe its because I think I’m not a student anymore, and that I am a working adult, I just refuse to homework! Ok, fine. Its not that I REFUSE. I’m just taking longer than the normal Sham would take. Maybe I’m just bored of doing case reports.. I dunno. But either way, I need to be done with my case reports by the end of 2mrw and I need to submit my log books and I’ll be the guinea pig for a new system. Yes, the new night shift system in my hospital. Effective 1st April 2012, I’ll have to do 3 days in a row of night shifts. Oh, and I’ll be at OPD at that time which means there will be no one to replace me at counter. Oh well. It’ll be chaotic as usual. When is it *not* chaotic again? Never.

Work aside, I’m just super glad I’ll be over with my PRP-ship soon!Its fast how time flies. This time last year, I was probably busy studying for my last exam in IMU. And now here I am, busy trying to get things in order so that I can complete my PRP-ship. I feel old already. =(

Week 29 update!

We’re 7 months in and in another 3 weeks time, it will mean that I’ve been here for 8 months. I have a feeling that from here onwards, time is gonna move super duper fast till I wanna make it stop! Oh well, ain’t that life? Moves slowly when u want it to be fast and moves super fast when u want it to be slow.

Gotta get all my log books ready! =) 5 more stations to go!

Just got back from KL and already missing it. I was just not meant to be away from KL.

BTW, I’m usually depressed at this time, but m super happy because I had the most invigorating conversation over breakfast with an old friend and we came up with a plan. A plan which I’m gonna see through! =)
