-pharmacist of the day-

finally, it's our video role play exam. as usual, started to get nervous, tension. hongning was the earliest and she came back with lotsa tips. thanks gal. so we started to discuss wad is goin to be asked later.

im having palpitation, heart beats above the normal range. get myself prepared, din have lunch at all, no appetite. went to the dispensary lab quite early, and i was the first one to reach there. saw Ian Miller, and he said Hi. i think he is a very nice guy.

then everyone was there, summarizing all the stuff dat we were supposed to know, and my heart went beating even faster and faster! nervous to the max. and tracy came out and asked the first group to enter, which was my group.

im the second. waited, and i cant even recall all the stuff dat i've read.

suddenly, the door opened, and shazwan walked out. it's my turn! sigh. with no confidence at all, entering the room. and lynne started to brief me. and here it went our conversation :

pharmacist on duty : Rena Ang
customer : lynne

pharmacist : good morning! oops, sorry, good afternoon! im the pharmacist on duty today. wad can i do for u? (lynne was smiling, and this is the very first time i saw her smiling and looks so happy)

customer : good afternoon. im looking something for my hay fever.

pharmacist : can i know how old r u?

customer : 18 years old.

pharmacist : can u describe more bout ur symptoms?

customer : i have itchy, running nose. and i cant swallow tablets. yeah. dats all.

pharmacist : oh. do u experience any swollen, itchy eyes?

customer : no.

pharmacist : (oh my God, izzit common cold?) hmm, how long did your symptoms persisted?

customer : a week ago.

pharmacist : is this the first time u r having hayfever?

customer : no, i had this every summer.

pharmacist : oh. (confirm hayfever!) have u taken any action bout it?

customer : just tissue.

pharmacist : huh?????

customer : tissue. hand tissue to wipe my nose.

pharmacist : oh. tissue. =.=''' are u on any medication at the moment? (cross my finger, hope she doesnt take anything dat have drug interaction)

customer : im on oral contraceptive.

pharmacist : so u r stil on ur oral contraceptive at the moment? alright. do u have any past medical history?

customer : nope. just hayfever.

pharmacist : alright. can u pls hold on and i'll check the medication for u.

quickly grab the OTC book and flipped thru searching for "hayfever" and i flipped to the wrong page, shit! couldnt find the suitable medication. looked thru again, and finally i found a syrup, which suits her, as she requested for liquid preparation.

pharmacist : since u r unable to swallow tablets, i will recommend u this medication, which is Clarityn Allergy Syrup, to relief ur sneezing and runny nose due to hayfever. take one 5ml spoonful daily. try to avoid those pollens. yeah.

customer : alright. so can i take this throughout the whole summer?

pharmacist : (shit!!) hmm, yes. u can. (tembak only)

customer : alright thanks!

dunno whether im correct or not. but im done! relieved! went back home and told shyan bout it. heat up my minced beef and potatoes in the microwave oven. after having my late lunch, played some games, talked to mum, and had a short 30minutes' nap.

blur. then asking sui sui to teach me how to cook maggi goreng and pan mee.

need to go out for groceries.

to be continued.

had pan fried salmon with vege for dinner prepared by shyan & vyen. after dinner, we made some choco cupcakes and rock buns, for tmr's breakfast. 2nd round of rock buns. it's the easiest recipe yet nice. no doubt. while waiting for the rock buns, we had the choco cupcakes with ice creams, thumbs up! it's damn nice.. delicious.. we lazed around in the common hall, watching tv, having ice creams, feel like it's been a very long time we din have such a relaxing moment with all the crappy exams. altho we r goin to have another exam next monday, but all of us were on holiday mood d. i dun think i wil get exempted tho, so im getting myself prepared.

it's 25 minutes, took out the rock buns. im not satisfied with it. sigh. but it's stil nice lar. haha. then gave some to deb and diana. went over to diana's place and sampat sampat until 10pm. belum mandi! shit.

gotta shower. edinburgh for tmr. yippie!!
