im starting to enjoy working in sgh a & e. i get to wear track pants and singlet to work! this is only possible coz i can change into a scrub. so even though we looked bad in the scrub, i managed to make the most of the situation =) . chin teck (my supervising radiographer) has given us his evaluation. i didnt get a good evaluation, i've only got 3 criteria above expected level, and it was not very impt ones. i dont blame chin teck, he was just being strict and fair. i always had confidence in my radiographic technique but this week was terrible in the sense that i made a few silly mistakes coz of assuming certain things and/or carelessness. it was very disappointing for me as i have high expectations of myself in this aspect. xiuping has definately improved a lot over these few days. i think she can finally work independantly after i left her in the lurch so many times. many a times when she counter-checked with me on her positioning and centering, i just told her to shoot when she is sure. u may say im cruel, but i knew she already know the correct positioning and centering and she just need someone to verify for her. if i do that for her all the time, by the end of this attachment she'll still be asking people to check for her everytime before exposing the patient. now she is able to do a case by herself without asking anyone :) .
woke up early on sat morning to go down to east coast park to help my friend to instruct and supervise some boys from boys brigade to do outdoor cooking. my job was to introduce them to the gas burner and how to use it. spend the whole morning there watching the boys whipped up some incredible dishes for the outdoor cooking competition. there were sushi, pasta with melted cheese, mashed potatos, salads etc. really impressed by their spontaneity and creativity. because of this event i only reached sentosa at 245pm and i had to waste money on a cab. a lot of people were not there. couldnt find anyone to play 2 on 2 with me. played only a few matches before it turned dark.
i was posted to the outpatient department today. there's so much more cases over there. time passed noticeably faster and soon it was time to knock off. went back to school after work to workout but received an sms from my team-mate that we are having the volleyball trial for the year 1s today. helped them out before going for a short workout at the gym. came home feeling so drained and tired that i dont feel like doing my reports. yet again! y must i always procastinate? the rest of my week is packed with activities except for tuesday. I AM SO GONNA DO MY REPORTS ON TUE. if not i will have to waste extra time going back to sgh to let them sign my reports...
good, at least i have a plan liao. going to sleep now so that i dont suffer from chronic fatigue. wait, i already am...
