I would've liked a mundane, peaceful life at work - something quite the opposite of what's been going on recently. A lot of chaos, a lot of drama (sort of), a lot of things that in the process of fixing became somewhat "un-fixed". If you want an analogy, it's like being stuck in quicksand - the more you struggle, the deeper you get. About two months and things are just taking a turn for the worse. Aint that nice.

Anyway, life was COMPARATIVELY peaceful today - comparatively. Well, except for that 30-second encounter with a certain patient today. Somehow it doesn't quite pay to take the initiative to provide "quality service". While taking in a script, I ask the patient if he's had it before. He says he's had one of them before, but one of them is new. And when I ask if he'd like some additional information, he says that he doesn't need any, mainly because his doctor has told him everything he needs to know. Then he goes on to elaborate that he knows when to take it, how much blah blah blah.....and then, in his frenzy/overenthusiasm/craze/whatever-you-wanna-call-it, he suddenly says, "I need it for xxxxxxxx. It's really bad. SEE?" and he goes and pulls up his shirt, revealing his xxxxxxxxx. It's not such a big deal, I guess, but I had to keep myself from flinching back and going, "WTF, man"

This probably isn't going to be the last time, no doubt about it. Simply because some idiots can't figure out that some people aren't interested in knowing every single thing about them - especially gross bits. You pay your doctor for that, dingbat.

Anyway, I digress. If a day would ever come whereby some patient waltzes in with a new script for some rectal preparation, I'll probably have to mind my own business. Just in case he decides to pull down his pants to show me his ass. Just in case.

Uncanny

Strange how strangers are capable of noticing things about you that people who are supposedly close to you can easily and often miss. Funny how hearing the words of a perfect stranger is sometimes enough to provide salvation to make the day a little more bearable. Funny how hearing random comments from someone anonymous can be more consoling than talking to someone you've known for years.

Believe it or not, random strangers have the power to save, even if they do it unknowingly.

And on a random note, I drive by a horse and lotsa cows on my way to work. And, while living in my current residence, I've probably wiped out an entire clan of daddy-long-legs, and have accidentally wheeled over a spider with my chair. Not that I'm remorseful, though. The world could do with a few less insects.

For those of you who don't know, I have a new pair of glasses, because the nose piece arm from my old uber cool and awesome pair spontaneously snapped. And I really liked that pair, too ;__;

For now, just the pics. Comments can come later. :3















The evening view from my place ^^





























Shelley Beach; less than 10 mins from my place where I went for a picnic with my landlord's family





























It was ruined because I was in the car at the moment, but it is pretty cool. Somewhat.















My "Malaysian" meal while I was in Sydney, from no other from the Laksa House :P
Bleh, it wasn't even spicy. It's been so aussie-fied that I was able to eat it normally :3



































In case you're wondering, no, the focus isn't on the Sprite bottles. No, not the Coke either. It's the surveillance video. See the two posers there? Guess who?




















Serene, unfortunately, is a lousy photographer. That's why my pic was such a blur.




















...While I, on the other hand, am an awesome photographer. That's why the pic of Serene hugging her Joseph came out so clearly. LOL.















*Eyes bleeding* rofl






























Anyone recognise the massively cute and familiar bundle of fluff on my bed? :3















ONE fan in the entire place. ONE.















...Now I know how this guy felt. I need A/C.















Oh yeah, this is my kitchen. Just in case no one's figured that out yet.















Just a random shot along the walkway from the hospital.






























The lil cabin I stayed at for a month which is right beside the hospital & river.















My car! ^^ (people, don't freak out, I haven't crashed into anything....not yet, anyway :P)















Oh, yeahhhh.















The beach near the airport, if I remember correctly. The whole freaking place is surrounded by beaches that I've lost count. Just last week or so I went to another beach in Broulee, which is about 15 mins away from my place, and was dragged to go bodysurfing lol
