A silent prayer

Today went for a very interesting talk on palliative care. IMHO, it's more of a talk on chronic pain management. But then the lecturers drove home a very important message about the role of the pharmacist - dun let the junior docs @#$% with you.

Went to buy the roast beef sandwich from bratwurst shop - last time i'm buying the beef sandwich: machiam salted-beef sandwich euuuuu. But the other chick stuff are nice

The saybons shop is in a rather poorly patronised and I can see the owner is slightly down. But her soup was not a let down and was consistent to the review in the newspaper. However that I disagree with the article to throw in chunks of stuff into the soup as it's already very rich - any extras may just spoil the soup's delicate flavour and its aura of glamour. Seafood bisque was the one I tried.

Sad to say, the market here is not for all that is savoury or time consuming to process. The consumers so far preferred quick fixes, easy to replicate dishes with low cost capital but sold at high prices - i know dun make sense but look at the array of hot sellers - donuts, bubble tea, roti boy. Easily replicable AND THEY SELL. Wassup?! That's why I keep to cooking and gardening as a hobby. There's no market here as consumers are unable to appreciate value of time.

Went back to work and met up with my supervisor. Apparently, I'm not doing well in my current rotation and soo doomed to get bad reviews due to my poor time managements and being unable to keep up with my presentations of the discussion topics.

I need to buck up even though I'm using a lot of time to go thru' this section.

As I read the notes, articles and textbooks before me, I'll mutter a silent prayer:

TOLONG LAH!!! PLEASE LET WHATEVER I READ GO INTO MY BRAIN AND FLOW OUT IN A COHERENT AND LOGICAL MANNER!!!

In the words of a troubled failure

VIVA IS COMING
