"All rice, all rice!"

"One for the money, and the free rice~"

• At least that's how I thought the song goes for many, many years.


• I just realised I was ludicrously wrong today.


• Thank goodness this "blurness" didn't turn into a full fledged embarrassment for me.


• Which, often, isn't the case.

Warning! dirty issue ahead!

I have toilet issues. So here are the few Golden rules when using the toilet.

1. Thou shall flush whatever crap that thou have left in the toilet bowl.

2. Thou shall wait until all the crap is flushed down before leaving the toilet.

3. If thy crap is not cleaned with the first flush, thou shall flush the toilet a few times until it is clean.

4. If there is no water, thou shall take thy business somewhere else.

5. If there is no water, but there is water from the garden tape outside, thou shall clean thy crap up.

6. Thou shall not use my hand soap till its finished. It's MINE.

And here's the random observation: do you notice that chinese people can be so fucking dirty?

( not the G5 housemates of course) but the K-town housemates. Seriously!

i think the great eagle just scared the rest of us from blogging.

My Corner

I've been hiding at the obscure dark corner of my manufacturing store again. And I noticed that the frequency of me doing this is increasing a bit. Bad. It means I'm tired and am doing lots of thinking.


The thing is, it's a very nice place to just crouch and let my mind run blank. It's dark, quiet and peaceful. And I think I'm sort of a claustrophillic; if there's such a word (now, you're the fourth person who knows this, I think). It's a reserved retreat for my weary mind and soul.


Yesterday though, was the first time someone switched on the lights. I instinctively stood up and peered at the corner. It was two of my student dispensers. Still in stupor, I just approached them smiling,and said the first thing in my mind, "adik nak cari apa?". They answered something intelligent but it didn't really register in my mind. So I just walked away. I think they were quite freaked out. (yes, their eyes were a few cm's bigger)


An epiphany though; there's no greater uniting force than a common adversary. And that's because humans are all predisposed to be selfish.

reshuffled!

i am now a ward pharmacist.

which means, i dont have to time my leaves around tuesdays and thursdays! and when i go on leave, i dont have to worry about tks! i can finally copy and paste my skts and poas and fail meja! (best bit, that.) i have variety is the spice of life! i dont have to run up and down anymore! probably still do, but at least i'll be answerable to a lot less. okay that's about it. scrounging up good bits gets tiring.

ok la. a potential downside is, now the surgical pharmacist has a lot more reason to go after me with his annual leave forms. and the happiest most enthusiastic person upon finding out the news was the female medical pharmacist, who first thing said, ok now i can start planning my leave.

on the whole, though. things are good. i finally am full-time at something established. i'm now part of a team! no more going solo! bring out the short sleeves and banish the woollies!

hello. it's skt season again. yep it's like the last one was just last month. it kinda was, actually, it's just that this year the biggest skt is to actually do the freaking thing itself by january, instead of, let's say, november. for the past 2 yrs of my working life i've been doing my skt in november. there's a benefit to this actually, as in, i only have to look at it once, and whatever kpi i didnt achieve for the year i just dont put it in my skt la. but then, with every year must come improvement, so they say, so they say.

so. skt by this week. plan of action after cny. the tricksy thing is, how to work it out so what i plan actually gets achieved by november? too much foresight, this. i cannot work with so much anticipation. for one thing, this would make me break my habit of overstating things in the hope of sounding good and then everyone conveniently forgetting about them later. what's the point of working in the civil service if i can't do this? not like i can make huge plans then delegate them to other people also.

k la whatevs. skt. here we go again.

not really pharmacist related but i need to get it off my chest. heavy tinge of reluctance though if you're a nazi on relevance.

confirm la i'll never go for lasik. you know why? cos i need to save all the cash i can for my TEETH.

why is it that every year brings another tooth problem? in uk it was 118 pounds worth of fillings. last year it was the root canal right before induksi. which for the life of me i cant remember the cost. rm400? 500? and then this year i need a crowning. actually more than one, but i'm going for one first because each bloody costs me rm600. fuck man. why do i have such tauhu teeth. yeah that's what the dentist said. i have tauhu teeth. 'i think you're genetically predisposed to cavities, because i find your teeth very soft, took me no time to grind through at all. like tauhu.' so meanwhile he was grinding through the first tooth for the crowning, he discovered that the one next to it was happily rotting as well. he's one of those semangat dentists who has a tiny videocam to take pics to post up on a big screen tv to show you exactly how your teeth are rotting, and gosh are they rotting. i believe him. i just dont believe in rm600 crownings. time to go hunt for cheaper dentists.

anyway he charges rm700 for rcts. i know this cos he is a multitasker who keeps two to three patients concurrent and to maximise the multitasking he keeps the doors open to all the consultation rooms and the guy next to mine was going amok at the fact he was pushing for an rct ('kenapa tak nak cabut saja? cabut gigi sajala!) and stormed out. haha. so drama.

but fuck. why do i have such tauhu teeth. i'm only 24 and i need 3 crownings (yeah apparently the rct one needs to be crowned eventually, too). at the rate i'm going i'm going to run out of teeth to crown before i get a niece or nephew to study dentistry and crown my teeth for me. yeah what stings the most about this whole shitty situation is the money (pain not so much ever since i realised i could take nsaids before going anywhere near a dentist). sigh.
