alice in wonderland

are HR ppl usually nasty? do they usually say things very offensively, in a non-subtle manner? talking abt youngsters these day being rude to the MM ah... sometimes it's the topic in question isn't it? nothing very related actually... was juz trying to draw a similarity here.... that we say that things can be discussed in a non-offensive, subtle, neutral manner.... however ppl do inject their own prejustice into discussions, no?

perhaps it'll do good if alice can see herself from outside the wonderland...

of medical checkup, viagra and old doctor

juz went for my medical check up for the job at gsk yesterday... it was after a mini induction by the company's HR... i gotta travel allllllllll the way into pioneer sector 1 to meet her.... damn ulu that place... but now i can emphatise with ppl working in tuas siahz....

she seems like a friendly person... but i guess it cant be help to be shrewd and "masked" when u're working outside... only did i realised today that she called up Biopolis gsk to ask abt something which apparently i mentioned (to which i totally haf no recollection of).... and after which ros mentioned to me to be careful with wad i say to ppl there... coz they can be quite kpo de... :\ sigh... troublesome....

oh and when i asked further into the benefits and compensation policy of the company, she din actually give me very very satisfactory answers... but instead i got a feeling that those were not the "real reasons" behind some differences from the previous batch of employees... but then wad can i do more? ask further and be a pest mehz..?

hehe.... but i did manage to get a free cab ride la... supposed to take cab to this medical clinic for stage 1 of my checkup de... but i dun haf enough cash, and there isn't any ATM ard....so she wrote me a cab voucher!! wahahahaa.... *shhh...* (not supposed to tell)

this clinic that i went to... has lots of posters on viagra and ED (erectile dysfunction)!! not loads and loads of them la... but a bit more than usual.... funny hor...? haha... and i saw one of the slogan for viagra.."Hard, Quality Erections"...haha!! so funny.....

anyway.......... the doc is an old man... the way he took my blood sample...wahkaoz... i think he wanna inject the needle into my vein in one quick motion so the pain is minimal.... but after it went in, i realised that the needle is not parallel with my vein!! and it's at the boundary of my thick thick vein.... but ok nonetheless he got my blood flowing into the syringe... but i think coz it's not placed properly.... he had some difficulty drawing out enough blood... and he readjusted the needle!! OMG... pain lehz... dun haf anesthetic de k.....
then when he's done, he plastered a small plaster onto my wound... my wound is hardly covered by the plaster lor....aiyoh...heng i can take it ahz.... and arm nv blue-black from all the needle-geowing....

then he gave me direction to stage 2 of my checkup.. to jurong east for chest xray... he gave wrong direction!! heng i alert enough to realised it b4 i reach toa payoh... i had lunch at clementi in the end... actually i was quite amused by this old doc... apparently he's very educated....so many degrees on his appointment card...

part 3 was at lucky plaza for hearing test.. nth much to report there...
but initially i wanted to take a short walk in orchard de...only to see sms from boss asking abt presentation slides... aiyah..sianz... i haben do.. no time to do yet.. so i went str home lor... do slides....

thou i've handed in fyp le.... it seems like everyday is very tiring still.... o_0

last week of my undergraduate life

it's thurs today and coming monday i'll be submitting my fyp thesis le! hahaa... yup after tat no more sch....that is..unless i decided to take phD la....

another of my colleague in gsk going to leave the company for further studies le... one juz left a couple of weeks ago...this will be leaving in a couple of months' time... hmm.. it's an influencial trend i guess... since both of them were roommates when they're in SG... and rumours has that the 3rd gg to leave as well....juz wondering when..., but it's a change of job nature... not for studies..

oh that was a random thought! juz realised im steering away from topic le....

yup im completing the report writing le (oh u know that phD thesis is a BOOK?? it's not even a booklet, it's a damn book!!).... currently doing the last staining of tissue sections, and if this staining doesn't give good result, then the report will be finalised without anymore change!! so far so good la.... been hearing good comments (eh but ang mo seldom critisise also) and my sup said to another colleague (i've got a spy somewhere) that i'm "naturally scientific"...haha... it know it sounds funny....it's like some jargons ppl use....

and yup, officially im employed into the company le! the HR finally called.... (actually b4 this was a whole big episode of worry coz another fren got called up and i wasn't... i asked the big big boss then realised that there was actually some communication break from this lab to the HR) and i'll be starting work in the last week of May together with 4 other girls...apparently i've not seen any guys turning for interview....did the HR screen out all the guys? i guess i got thru coz i bypassed the initial screening procedure....

a colleague asked me that day...if i'll feel that 4 yr passed very fast in uni, now that im graduating...? actually, at least at this moment, i dun feel sad... mayb i've accepted that ppl gotta move on somehow... and it's not as if ppl r going to part forever.. as long as we do realli try to keep in contact, distance is not a major problem... the maintenance issue bah i guess... ppl drifted apart, bz with life/work, losing contact.....it's abt putting in effort man!! effort!!

some buddies are still struggling in sch with exam now, i going to pay them a visit later on.... macam visit prisoners like tat huh.... and of course not to mock at them lah!!! hehehz....

been a tiring week....

though i've excused myself from lab for 1 week last week... (i went back for one of the days i think).. i found myself to be extremely tired.... i think it's the lack of slp these days... plus lots of thoughts going on....

i found myself caught in the same dilemma which i did every semester juz b4 exam time... having to juggle assignments and presentations and exam preparations.... same this time round... with fyp date due coming up in 2-3 weeks' time and papers to take....

for the past few days it was worse... another fren of mine came also for interview at gsk, and was called up last week, to sign contract yesterday... but i've not rcv any news yet!! this is worrying...so much that i din slp well at all that night.... sigh... but i think all will be ok lah.... though i know nothin's confirmed unless i signed on the paper, but i got a feeling i won't be very disappointed....

tired... time to leave office le....
