A full week of non stop ofwork....really tiring. Dpp counselling on tues, followed by PMT quiz and french presentation, preparation of dpp lab report and PA2 quiz together with french vocab test. Within a week, I have to sit for so many. Dpp counselling was overall ok for our group. But there are some questions thrown back to me to answer and luckily for me i have helpful group members. Practically we have to know most of the medication for treating asthma and others in the coming weeks. Some jokes were cracked that made the environment not as tense and uneasy. After 1h, the whole counseulling is over for PBL2! Yeah..But PMT quiz is not as great, i'll be happy to pass for this test. I was so sleepy that i dose off during studying which makes me mad at myself. After that still have to stress over the french presentation, got bit pek chek when my grp member still haven't finish his slides?! He only came to class 1h30mins later.....wonder what he was doing...i thought our grp presentation wasn't that great. I tried to make it sound interesting by saying some origins and evolution of the festivals over the years. I could hear my trembling voice! Dpp counselling on constipation drugs was enjoyable when mr koh explain to me some pts about the drugs as well as give feedback. He told me that he like the way i present the MOA of drugs in simple terms to the patient of how the drugs help in his condition. Three drugs with their respective action on the body. He advise me to go through with patient about the proper usage of suppository instead of leaving patient to read for himself. Mr Koh correct my mistakes of explaining why Fybogel can't be taken before going to bed, by hinting about Fybogel's MOA. It can make you feel bloated before sleep plus might respiratory discomfort. Today, after PA2 quiz which i strangle slightly with time and studying 3h for french vocab test, i managed to eat the uncle's ice cream at city hall mrt station! The uncle's ice cream is only around till 6pm before he ride off in his motorised stall. The uncle seem to recognize me after frequent visits to buy the same ice cream. I love the ice cream which is probably made by him are scooped from a big container into a cup which happen to come in different colours every time i patronize. I particularly like the not so sweet ice cream flavours of vanilla with crunchy peanuts and chocolate. There was once he told me there is mango but was bit too sweet compared to others but nice though. Today i got mint ice cream too! Weee...uncle so kind... he tried to squeeze some more ice cream for me! Its a nice treat that helps to destress. Sins of ice cream!
