Exam day...it was raining all day...sianz...left for school at abt 11 plus...got to there with abt 30 mins or so to spare...exam was tough man...luckily it's only 30% :P

23 Nov, Wed

Thought of running with Jayce at Sentosa in the morning...but due to lousy weather we had to cancel the run...sianz...again...
Went to school...do work...
At night I went to watch Harry Potter at Plaza Sing with some Sgrunners...Fd, tiwazz and wildcat...bee was supposed to join us but she fell ill...sighz...we were wondering is it the manifestation of "Shoutbox Withdrawal Syndrome"??!! Anyway, take care, bee!! SCSM coming up!!
The Goblet of Fire was great!!! So exciting...it was 2.5 hrs...but was totally exciting throughout!!! *thumbs up*
Gotta get a copy of the DVD when it's out...next I'll be waiting for the 5th show and 7th book!!!
Anyway, after the show, some wild character dragged a fellow sgrunner, tiwazz for makan as that wild fella had to go back to work...Fd and I managed to escape...haha :P

24 Nov, Thur

Finally it's a sunny day...a bit too sunny though...very bad weather...one day soooo cold....the other sooo hot!!!
Anyway, I finally went for a run with Jayce...did abt 5-6 km...we are slackers..so we dun run a lot unless it's a race...hehe :P
After that, go back to school and do work all day again...*yawnz*

26 Nov, Sat

Woke up early to go cycling...finally I'm joining the SWCT training ride!!! After a couple of failed attempts...first time due to weather, second time due to illness...

Left at abt 7.20am...but after cycling abt 3km...I realized I have forgotten my lock...ahhh...gotta cycle back..gonna be late...and I thought I'll be early :P
Anyway, I arrived at Adam Road abt 10-15 mins late...we started off almost immediately after I arrived...

Our route...Farrer Rd, Holland Rd, Ulu Pandan Rd, Clementi Rd...U-turn at the junction at Bukit Timah Plaza...Clementi Rd, Ulu Pandan Rd, Holland Rd, Napier Rd, Grange Rd (I think..hehe), Irwell Bank Rd (I think), Kim Seng Rd (I think), Havelock Rd, Chin Swee Rd, and finally College Rd...where I had to stop to attend a very very boring briefing on CPE, a requirement to renew our pharmacist licence starting from Sept 2008...while Nur, Jeannie, Fidah (spelt correctly?) and Ivan had tea break at the Houseman canteen...hey...I thought they were supposed to tear down that building in July??!!

Check out my cycling route...

Blue line: riding with Nur, Jeannie, Fidah and Ivan...under the nice warm sun :D
Purple line: riding alone...under the rain :P

Anyway, I went to SP73 said hi to whoever was ard..which was only Ms Wan and Suzanna...also saw Cho and Huda on their way out to top up trolleys...changed up...went to Houseman canteen to grab some food and drink...then off to that boring briefing where I met some ex-colleagues I haven't met for sometime...all of us were so bored...haha :P

After the briefing...oooo...I saw dark skies...it seemed to have rained while I was indoor...anyway, I went back to SP73...say hi...more ppl are ard now...got aunties Seok Khoon, Wendy and Ting Ting, also saw Hong Ngee, Adeline and Mei Ling...then went down to Hemato to say hi to Donabel, Hong Yen and Ching Hui...Kar Wai was there too...hmm...my 2 interviewers...Kar Wai and Adeline are back from their study break...they were not ard the whole of my pre-reg training...

Then gotta go...changed back to shorts...then...oh no...it started drizzling again...anyway, dun care...going home anyway...as I cycle..the rain got heavier...I cycled to Beach Rd...to check out the triathlon gear sales at Base Camp...met Ian and many familiar faces there...from the many races I have participated in...also met...err...forgot her name...the gal from the IBP gym which kops21 goes to..hehe...
Got myself some hammergel and a cycling short ;)

Hmm..the rain kinda stopped when I was indoor...then when I was gg home it started raining again...damn...
Got home, showered...then it's time to head down to HLC for work!!
Today is not a bad day for locum...other than a few busy moments...I was pretty free...hehe..get to do some work ;P

Hmmm...today is my most exciting day for the whole week!! and I just realized I haven't been into the Sgrunners forum the whole day...hehe...

Tomorrow..it's work again at HBF...hopefully it's another slack day...hehe :P

Just saw my email...tennis training is starting again...looks like i'm only gg to get busier and busier!!!

Exam is over!!

Yay!! Exam is over!!
Damn difficult paper...but who cares...it's OVER!!
Besides 70% of the marks have been decided before I even took the paper today :P

Tomorrow is harry potter day...with Sgrunners...yay

So wat shld I do today?
Hmm...thought of running home from school today...but stupid rain *!@#$%^*
Maybe I can go Beach Rd and get the deuter bag I was planning to get...these days keep raining...dun think my old one can hold up well man...

I've gotta go for a run again one of these days...

Exam is coming!!

Exam is coming...note it's singular...yup...only one paper...
Well wat did u expect...it's graduate studies...think most other universities only need to take a couple of modules....
In NUS, we have to take 6 modules...for PhD candidates!!! So kiasu man...luckily at least 2 of the modules I have to take are just pass/fail ones...no exam ;)

Haven't done much the past week...worked on Mon and Wed nite, cycled down to Lower Pierce Reservoir Park for Unity's nature walk on Fri followed by teh tarik-cum-sotong kia session at Esplanade with the Sgrunners (maybe more on that another day ;P)...and an early morning (5am!) crazy run at Sengkang with some Trifam ppl on Sat...
The crazy run was meant to be a 20km run but ended up to be 5-6km only due to downpour...ended up spending an hour at a prata shop before we ran back to the starting point...where I got a ride from tanf to Hougang swimming complex to take a shower before heading for work at HLC...

Started feeling unwell at work...wonder was it the sotong kias I had the day before...or it's just coincidence..hehe

Skipped the training ride with SWCT on Sun morning since I was still unwell...and exam is coming up!!! :(
It was a nice sunny morning...and I had to stay home :(

The whole of this week was just study and doing some research work...and working at HLC on thur...
Oh ya...and gg for the Mizuno warehouse sales with Taz on Mon morning...hehe...got myself a couple of running singlets and shorts at $5 each!!!

Yesterday morning cycled down to Lower Pierce again for the Unity's nature walk...at least I did abt 20km of cycling this week ;)

Anyway, boring week huh?

Nvm...after my paper on Tue...I might (since date not confirm yet) go watch Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire wit the sgrunners...yippee...maybe go for a swim before that ;)

Oh ya...Stan Chart Marathon is coming up in two weeks...and the longest distance I have ran so far is 21km...that's for AHM!!! uh oh...

Glucosamine sulphate

How do u explain wat's the sulphate in glucosamine sulphate to a layman?

Questions they would ask...
Q: Is it the same as sulphur?
A: No. But I dunno how to explain how it's different...sulphur is S, sulphate is SO4?

Q: So if I'm allergic to sulphur drugs, can I take glucosamine sulphate?
A: Can lah. Unless u allergic to glucosamine also, or maybe if u allergic to seafood, u might wanna be careful. Sulphur drug allergy is usually allergy to the sulphonamide groups...present in drugs like Bactrim and Celebrex :P

So how to explain wat's sulphate?

Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire

The movie is here...finally...but as usual...during exam times :P
Remembered watching the Chamber of Secrets few days b4 my last paper in my third year...i think...it was open book exam...and my fav...med chem :D So I figured I can afford to go relax for a couple of hours...hehe...
Well I definitely enjoyed myself...I'm quite sure that exam went quite well too :)

Anyway, this time round...another open book exam next tue...but...hmm...maybe i'll watch the show after my exam lah :P Organic synthesis isn't exactly my cup of tea...and the lecturer is too smart...he thinks everything is simple...oh man...

Oh well...here's a quiz on Harry Potter...Wat's ur Harry Potter alter ego?

You scored as Severus Snape. Well you're a tricky one aren't you? Nobody quite has you figured out and you'd probably prefer it stayed that way. That said you are a formidable force by anyone's reckoning, but there is certainly more to you than a frosty exterior and a bitter temper.

Severus Snape		75%
Hermione Granger		70%
Harry Potter		70%
Albus Dumbledore		70%
Ron Weasley		65%
Remus Lupin		65%
Lord Voldemort		60%
Sirius Black		60%
Ginny Weasley		60%
Draco Malfoy		55%

New router...

Did I mentioned my router died some time last week?

Yesterday...I brought the router for repair...
An hour later...I got a call from the engineer who was supposed to repair the router...hmm...some power surge resulted in my WAN point not working anymore...he mentioned something abt replaced and can collect already...WAT? so fast?? Ok...will go collect today...

Today I went...check with him abt securing my wireless...he showed me how to do it...simple lah...eh...but it's a different router...oh...that router is mine...can't replace the parts of the old one liao...so they replaced a new one for me...no wonder so fast...

Check out my new router...

Overheard

Overheard the following conversation on the bus this evening...

A: I slept too much till I have a headache...end up have to sleep somemore to get rid of the headache...after taking panadol
B: U take panadol..shldn't take too much u know?
A: Ya I know.
B: I dun take panadol for more than a year now...instead I take paracetamol...milder version of Panadol.

WAT? When did Panadol become stronger than paracetamol??!!!

A: No. Panadol is paracetamol. Paracetamol is just the generic name. It's the same thing.
B: Oh, is it?

Phew...Thank god A knows his meds better...

A: So why do u think we shouldn't take panadol too much?
B: (lost for words)
A: Anyway, I also think we shldn't take this meds too much 'cos we may develop 'resistance' to the med...
B: Oh ya lor...I think all meds also like that
A: No lah..not all lah...some like ultracarbon..(explained wat ultracarbon is)..u dun really get resistance to it 'cos there's no chemical rxn with ur body..
B: ahhh..

Hmm...interesting...wonder if our body will truly develop tolerance to panadol..but A's example of ultracarbon is good...the drug works by physical means i.e. adsorption of gas/toxin on the activated charcoal ;)

Anyway, heng B got a fren like A...otherwise jialat ;p

STRESSED...

Why m I stressed? The exam for the organic synthesis module is in 2 weeks time and I'm so lost at lecture today...die lah ;p gotta start panicking liao ;p

Wat did I do yesterday? Nothing constructive!!! Spent so much time in the forum while I was in school...thinking of doing some work while i'm at the pharmacy...but guess wat???

When I arrived at TPY at abt 5 to six...thinking I still have a bit of time to rush up and get my dinner..;but to my horror (haha...exaggerate a bit ;p)..there was no pharmacist ard but a lot of customers waiting!!
Germaine, where r u? Wat u worked morning shift when ur partner not ard?? Boss initially asked me to go at 7 or earlier if poosible...wat if I go at 7? No pharmacist for 2.5hrs? Ur norditropin customer is gg to complain lor...he came ard six leh ;p
I also wanna complain that there was no mention abt any norditropin customer coming ;p will write abt that later...

Let's go in chronological order wat happened when I stepped into the dispensary...
My first customer wanted 3 diff P only items...it's just my luck that those 3 had to be in 3 different locked cabinets!!! TPY cabinet damn hard to unlock one leh...jialat...took so long trying and trying..can't rem which key liao somemore...correct key also not necessarily can open the first time one leh ;p

At least after unlocking those...easier for me to serve the next 2 customers...
3rd customer came with a signed order...luckily wat she wanted was in one of the 3 opened cabinet..phew...

Then received some stock from supplier..had a very short break..when soon tat came by to ibt something..

Then the first prescription came...the Rx was for vastarel...hmm...gotta unlock another cabinet..nvm...customer wanted 3 months supply..sure no problem...4 full bottles and count another 30...sounds simple except that...the customer wanted me to check whether the 'full' bottles actually have 60 in all them...siao liao..
Luckily after I finished preparing label etc...she said she'll go home and count herself..if any shortage she'll come back...heng ah...she must have seen the queue behind her...initially she asked me to serve another customer first...shld be faster...but that other customer was my norditropin case!!! Luckily I decided to proceed with hers first...phew..

Then that norditropin case...luckily i remember Oyster telling that norditropin got some different procedure one...if not...i might have charged the customer twice the amt? unlikely..customer sure complain...i would just have wasted more time :P
Anyway, first thing..call Germaine...dunno wat to do lah..but guess wat...her phone is at home but she's not!!! Alamak...looks like gotta call Soon Tat liao...always bug him...so paiseh...somemore he's not working at TPY anymore and he's on leave for reservist!!! Sorry man, Soon Tat...
Anyway, thanks to Soon Tat I managed to settle that norditropin...but careless me...go and copy the wrong code...customer ended up paying slightly more...
Aiya...why PM one price, Easi-Pos one price...then when PA told me cashier side gave another price...i thought just follow cashier side...I was so busy then...and customer din make a big fuss somemore...so din double check...until customer's wife called back saying he got charged more than usual!!! Oops...sorry...Germaine u gotta handle the problem :P

After that...customer one by one keep me busy until almost 8pm!!!
In between...Nur appeared...queuing up along with the customers...just to pass me the pledge card for the "SWCT-Hearts...cycling for pleasure...cycling for charity" event which will be on 10,11 Dec...we r raising funds for St Andrew's Autism Center...anyone wants to donate? hehe :P
Anyway, I was so busy..din get to catch up with Nur...she's gg for bike trip to KL liao...won't be seeing her til 2 weeks later...sorry man, Nur...catch up with u another time, k :D

Finally at 8pm...I managed to get my dinner...after that..it was still rather busy..but not so bad liao...I even had an export sales...first time doing that at TPY...so today I had signed order, prescription and export sales...wow!
Anyway, managed to finish my dinner in slightly over one hour...haha :P
I was eating snake in the forum at the same time mah :P

Today...I finally did something more constructive...got to school at abt 10.30am..and spent the whole morning at the library...going through my CM5221 notes until abt 12.30...
After that..went back to the lab..then waste time again liao :P

Wasted plenty of time dunno doing wat...until time for lecture...
Lecturer tried to give us an idea wat to expect for the exams by giving us examples of synthetic steps with missing reagent/product...wah...jialat...dunno how to do anything...he go through...i also blur blur...panick!!
Looks like this 2 weeks gotta work harder liao...luckily it's open book...but still need to work hard man...otherwise open book also dunno where to find answer :P

Ok..gotta limit the time I spend surfing net...esp at the sgrunner's forum liao :P

Meanwhile maybe I can start trying to synthesize one of the compounds..the compound which have been studied the most...then later on maybe can also try some new analogues!! So exciting...play with chemicals...expensive chemicals man...1g of one of my starting material is almost S$400...think that's abt 5mmol...hmm...gotta find a cheaper source man...if not maybe i have to synthesize that starting material liao :S

Most jialat one was when I had this 3 foreign customers coming for export sales at the same time...only one of them was taking a ship that was leaving soon...the other 2 was supposed to fly off the next day...why all come together and stress me out like that? Somemore one of them was a Russian whom I had a bit of difficulty communicating with and her case was a bit problematic...oh man...*stressed*

Sun at MPR was much better...not so many swarms...hehe...only had lotsa parents coming to buy thermometer for their children...hehe...'cos the kids were asked to bring thermometer to school the next day :P
