Exams For 2nd Sem

Finally finish my exams for my second semester with agony and anger. First it was OHSE2620, maybe because there was past years papers to aid me, I became a bit laid back and concentrated on the past years papers only. I still could get high marks I hope. But it was OHSE2630 that was painful and angry. As I said that I became more laid back for my first paper, the second paper was a killer. There was too much information to digest, so after reading the sample questions that the lecturer gave, I banked on the style of questions that she had give as she wrote that it would be the similar style that would be tested. I was conned by her!! The questions that came out was all asking for detail and specific answers. I struggle through the time to find answers to write on the paper. Most angry part of all, the guy beside me was cheating. I wanted to tell but the clock was ticking away and I still got a lot to write, I can't waste time on the cheater while time is wasted on me. So I continue to write my paper while cursing the guy beside me. The guys behind me should have seen the cheater too but they choose to do their papers too. After I left the classroom, I felt agony and angry that I didn't do anything to stop that cheater. Hope I can pass my last paper and hope karma will fall on the cheater.

Exams over, now have to concentrate on work. Today is the first day going to the new workplace. One thing about the new workplace is its very far from the main gate. Not like my old workplace I can walk from main gate, this new workplace if I walked, it will take at least 40-50 minutes. By the time I walk there, I would have no energy to work. So got to make arrangement with KF see how he can find people to bring us in.

Next month I will be going for detachment again. Everything was not prepared yet. My card was spoilt and I don't know any details what need to do, what has been done. Things many things will cock up last minute. I don't know why every year of the month of September, I had to go for detachment. From the day I met Jerlyn in Nov 2006, I haven't been in Singapore for my birthday to celebrate my birthday on that day with Jerlyn. Flashback:
Sept 2007 - I was in my first even detachment in Korat. So after I came back in October, Jerlyn celebrated for me.

Sept 2008 - I was in Arizona working. So I celebrated my birthday with KF, Hema, Jayden, KK and Chin Hui in McGrath Fish House.

Sept 2009 - Me and Jerlyn came back to Singapore because of my sister condition but flew back to Arizona before my birthday. This is the only time Jerlyn celebrated my birthday on my actual day.

Sept 2010 - I was in Korat detachment again. So came back in October to celebrated with Jerlyn.

So this year, I will be going to detachment again in September too. But I was schedule to come back on the 24th of September. Hope my fifth year with Jerlyn, I can celebrate my birthday with her in peace.

Tonsillitis

Fall sick again, this time was Tonsillitis, inflammation of the tonsil in the throat. But When I went to see the doc at my workplace on the Wednesday 20th July , at that time I was having fever and headache, he look at my throat and and gave me 2 days MC and panadol only. I took the medicine but could not recover. So on Friday 22nd July I went back to see him, he checked my throat and gave me 1 day MC and the same panadol again. But this time he say I might be having dengue fever, if I could not recover by Monday he will draw my blood for testing. But I still could not recover, so Jerlyn brought me to our family doctor on Sunday 24th July. He looked at my throat and saw my tonsil swollen and check my neck if there is swollen too. Then he told me what was happening to me, and gave me the correct medicine and 2 more days of MC. That was then I know that the previous doctor at my workplace was giving me the wrong diagnosis, that why I could not recover.

I was sick for 1 whole week. After coming back to work on Wednesday 27th July, I was told I was posted out to another place. They have decided during I was on MC. I was disappointed with the decision but I had no choice but to oblige. My mind was thinking, are they trying to make me go even faster? KF was at my workplace, he knows what I wanted to do but he told me go over first and see how its work. It might be better for me, who knows. I thought about that and since I had not much choice so just have to see how its goes. Andy came back and knew about my case told me the same thing, he say that why don't finish my study first and see how. 2 more years to go I don't want my study to stop me from what I want to do. But what Andy say has his point, as the salary and the leave I might not be able to fund of take leave if I really want to change thing. Make me not sure what to do now, I will leave it after my exams and after going over to the new workplace and decide then.

Failed my IPPT for the 3rd time on 2nd August. Improved my timing by 1 second only. Think with the medication and lying in bed for 1 week didn't help much in my IPPT. my left knee started to feel pain again after the run. It happened on the previous 2 IPPT that I took. I feel pain on the knee cap when I bend my knee. Going up and down the stairs was extremely painful. I was told by my colleague that the joint between the 2 bones might have started to wear off, same like his knee too. But I couldn't go to the doctor yet as if I go to see doctor now, I will get an excuse and couldn't pass my IPPT on time. I will get a warning letter and salary will be deducted. Now I can only hope it recover fast and I will go for my next IPPT and pass it, so I can go see doctor about my problem.

Exams is coming!!
