life is precious

worked last night. it's my third time working at tan tock seng as a pharmacy assistant. apparently, the only pharmacy that is open overnight is the A&E department. was kinda slack tho. so i was just sitting at the counter and looked around the main area and chatted with a colleague. just within this 3 days i've worked there, i've seen all sorts of ppl. some fussy customers, so blur ones. some fake their illnesses just to get an mc blah blah blah.

but what i saw yesterday is something different. i've seen countless ambulance stopping over at tan tock seng. i've seen ppl taking their medicine in a really bad shape. my colleague said most teenagers who come here at night is either accident, or brawls at clubs or pubs. but what i saw yesterday really slapped me. i saw 2 guys crying and sobbing. i could not help but think that life is so unpredictable. it's like one moment, you see a person. he's doing fine, he's doing well. the next day, you receive a call for a bad news. how are we to react to it? quite frankly, i've never asked myself that question. would i react in a way that i feel so guilty and regretful for not treasuring the bonds that we shared as family or friends? or would i react in a way that i know we had a good bond with each other. what i've not yet to see, is seeing nurses pushing passed away patients away from A&E to the mortuary. my colleague says, sometimes we can see that.

i spoke to mum about it. of the tears that ppl shed in A&E. the huge amount of medicines they have to take. the amount of injections that they have to inject in them. i think it's really tough. we only have one life. make the best out of it.

my colleague advised that having frequent diarrhea is one of the symptoms of colon cancer. it's not just soft stools. but it applies to also practically shitting water out. next obvious symptoms is shitting blood out of your rectum. my my my...

anyway, here's a secret snapshot of me.

i look kindda weird tho. hahas.

see you guys. =))
