"Come .. just take what you want.. take as many pictures as you like.. take the pictures of the buildings, the children.. take.. take and show it to your fellow singaporeans to see how bad the conditions are "

... the words are said by our yep leader when we were discussing about picture taking in cambodia..

suddenly at the moment, a thot struck me. the ppl from some third world countries are exploiting us! they thot we sg have gold mines. the goodwill of yep to inculcate certain good values(leadership qualities, independent, team spirit, foster bond btw sg and other countries, build friendly neighbourhood relationship btw countries, volunteerism, sensitive to ppl's needs, care and empathy for other people...) may backfire.. definately not backfire on ourselves.. but will lead to reliance of some countries on others? Will it lead to changed in mindset of the locals? "It is a must for the rich to help us" .. will it lead to more laid back?

when we were dicussing about how we felt about picture taking.. i expressed the knowledge i learnt from soci of tourism.. expressed the could-be thots of the locals.. how they might felt when we take pictures of their daily life.. we are actualli intruding their private space.. the locals might not know why are we taking so many pictures? One day, will they become wad is like in new guineans? they charge ppl for certain fotos taken? they will start to hate the tourist who keep invading their space and bargain with them for a pitiful amount of money. But, all these are just subjective.. if interested to know how they realli feel, have to interview them i guess.. postitive or negative impact depends on which angle u look at it.

of course, i didn't manage to express wad i felt inside..i couldn't phrase them all out.. i dunno if the ppl get my pts a not.. aniwei.. i ll think twice if i m going to take pictures of children bathing in the public.. or adults washing clothes in the public.

A lot of emotions, thots and feelings this few days.. perhaps this break allows me to relax and think more coherently..

i m grateful and thankful i m under her. it's must be all fated to be under her since i got my 1st choice. i'll like to thank her .. after much thinking and talking to other ppl how's their preceptorship.. i dun think mine is tat bad after all.. althou she isn't someone who questioned and made ur brain think all the time.. she is still a role model to follow.

firstly, i can see that she is not very money-orientated. unlike wad my senior told me tat the organization i went to is very very profit-orientated. she doesn't push prdts to every customer. she can even send them home w/o recommending them to buy anithing. she chases away customers by scarring them off with side effects of the medicine and she also doesn't feel tat it is wrong as she feels that it is important and her responsibility to tell the customers the side effects of certain P medicines.

secondly, she doesn't gossip abt others. In a way, is bad as u ll be isolated away from others and dunno wads going on.. In another way, it is very good. Seems to me she is not bias and she is like the teacher.

thirdly, the most i learnt from her is her way of attending to customers.. is superb!! Can see that she tries her best to understand the needs of customers and she counsels almost every patient. i ll vote her as one of the most friendliest, most caring retail farmacist.

fourthly, althou she is the farm, she also helps the PA to arrange stocks.

So, i guess her way influences me to like retail.

Reading CNS pharmacology now.. and i realize .. haha.. i have signs and symptoms of depression..

Emotional:
Misery, pessimism
Low self-esteem- inadequacy, ugliness
Indecisiveness, loss of motivation
( YUPz.. all true to a certain extent for paperpiano)

Biological:
Retardation of thought and action ( ultra accurate coz i can't play the game jingkai taught us to play.. i m the one always kana forfeit.. and i also can't play the game cp designed for the whole team.. i can't repeat the rules ) (p.s.. the way cp does the watermelon sign is realli funni.. senghan n alvin are also great actor.. their emotion on their face when playing the game is realli woo wow)
Loss of appetite
Sleep disturbances (i dreamt almost everynight.. which is bad coz i remembered it)

Althou i hav all the signs and symptoms.. i strongly believe i m not in depression mode. but maybe i was in when i was in yr 1 sem1 and sem 2.. Now, I am still motivated coz i know what i can be in future.

This email is sent by ty and i think is good to remember such incidents

NEW TACTICSSomeone shared the following cases :

(1) Today I passed by a building which has an ATM machine. There was an old man looking at me. Suddenly, he called me. He said he didn't know how toread, so he gave me his ATM card and asked me to help him withdraw moneyfrom the ATM machine. I answerd 'NO!! If you need help, ask the securityto help you.' Then he said 'nevermind..' and continued to find otherpeople to help him...

REMEMBER : ATM machines have CCTVs. If you help him he will later claimthat you have robbed him or stolen his ATM card. Besides, his ATM cardcouldbe a stolen one. So please be careful of these tactics.

(2) Suddenly your house lights go off. From your window you find that your neighbours still have lights. So you go out of your house to check the Meter Box. But once you open the door, a knife will be pointing at you and preventing you from closing it. This is when you will be robbed and injured robbed and injured.
REMEMBER : Even though your electricity suddenly goes off, DO NOT open your door immediately. Look around to see if there is anything unusual or if there is any noise around.

(3) This is another incident. You may have heard it before, it is about a lady who she saw a kid crying by the roadside. When she spoke to thekid,the kid told her he was lost and wanted her to take him home. The kid even gave her a paper with his house address. So she took him home. But when she rang the door bell, she had an electric shock. Later when she woke up,she was naked in an empty room.
REMEMBER : Being such a compassionate and helpful person might not be a good thing these days. Pass this on and girls, please be careful..DON'T BE TOO KIND!!

zq's own opinion: Don press the door bell.. knock on the door instead .. or bring the kid to the police post

(4) this happened in Bali . A newly married couple were having theirhoneymoon at the hotel. When both are in the changing room, the wifesuddenly went missing. The husband was very anxious and went around tofindher. He asked the hotel staff to help him find her. Then he thought hiswife was just playing hide and seek. So he went back and waited for hiswife. After a few hours, he decided to call the police. 3 weeks passedandthere was still no news about his missing wife. So he went back and wasverydissapointed and sad. A few years later, he came back to Bali , to watcha'FREAK SHOW' in an old house. He saw a dirty and rusty metal cage.Insidethere was a lady without limbs. Her body including the face was full ofscars. When he had a closer look at her face, he was shocked to findthat itwas her missing wife put there as a means for begging.

(5) Let's just shorten this story. DO NOT open your house door when you hear the sound of a BABY CRYING!! It might be a trap! Women in the housemust be alert to this trick. The police said it is the work of a robber or murderer using the recording of a baby crying to attract your attention.This normally happens at night and when you are alone in the house.

(6) I read an email that was sent by my friend. Her friend, known as A,went to Luo Hu Commercial City with 2 friends, B and C. Luo Hu Commercial City is the Shenzhen counterfeit goods distribution center. There are many people there. It's also near to the ShenZhen train station and HongKong'sLuo Hu Port. C went to the toilet at the shpping centre while A and Bwaited outside. After waiting for a long, time they felt uneasy and went into the toilet to look for her. When they went in, there was nobody inside. Both were scared and they called C's phone. There was no reply. So they reported to the police. The police asked them whether they had seen anyboby suspicious going into the toilet. Both said there were none and its impossible to bring a life person out of the toilet without them noticing!. Then A remembered seeing a cleaner pushing a trolley in, and then coming out. The police told them that was not the1st time such a thing happened. The police suspected a gang of criminals who were always attacking women in the the toilet of shopping complexes.They use cleaners to kidnap people to harvest their organs for sale.REMEMBER : please be careful when using the toilet. Do not go to the washroom or toilet ALONE!! Please at least have a partner with you.

I m so bored now coz i dunno whr to start from now. Suddenly, at this moment (23 sep 08, 17.42) I hav no more motivation in life. I think is all becoz i m listening to the med chem webcast. Med chem made my uni life sad, terrible and stressed. Med Chem disrupted my way of thinking and the way i feel.

How i wish i can return back to preceptorship... i guess i m odd one out.. i m a freak.. seems like nobody enjoy retail life.. only me.. i like retail farmacy.. thru this preceptorship, i found that i entered the right course and i love medicine and drugs.. i finally know wad i can do in future which is veri impt. If there isn't a clear ending pt, it will be quite meaningless to keep on running n running.. Everything is much clearer to me now than when i was in yr1 n yr 2. During yr1 n 2, i keep on asking myself this qns "am i suitable and clever enuff to become a farmacist?", " can i communicate with the public?"

althou retail seems easy to a lot of ppl, it isn't that simple.. the famacist-in-charge has to know almost everything under the sun(from shampoo, cleanser, medications, vitamins, skin infections, etc.. ) as there r realli a lot of ppl asking different kinds of qns everyday.. certain qns can be expected, but u also get lotsa unexpected shocking qns.. Thats y i thot retail fam is like being a high-class-customer-service-officer..

frustations occur when ppl questioned ur ability, when ppl gave u the dirty look, when ppl asked u N times whr the cashier is when the cashier sign is so big, when ppl can't see tat i m actualli standing in front of the med cabinet and i m not the cashier, when ppl scold u for something silly, when it is so qiao that it occurs in a row that ppl ask ridiculous qns and waste ur time for explaining, when ppl complain u r not being responsible coz u went for lunch break?, when ppl complain juz becoz u went for toilet break n lunch break and it's so qiao that the person came at both the times u weren't there.....

thats maybe why the pay is reasonable..
