once again, doing late blogging. saturday was a real tiring day, midnight DotA the night before combined with a whole day at Toa Payoh. but i think it was a day pretty well spent. besides all the OHI given, you really get to see the way people work... got persuaded by Shunting to check my blood sugar. ok... fair deal. basically it involves taking an auto-lancet and piercing a finger to draw blood, then using an automated machine to analyse said blood's glucose concentration. 5.9 apparently, inside the physiological range. and then she proceeded to wipe my finger with an alcohol swab. like... bloody hell! it actually hurts. and when i asked why she does this routinely, she said its because her seniors do it. not really the way i wanna practice... and haemostasis should not be achieved using tissue paper! it sticks to the clot, and when you try to remove it the clot will tear.
watched Star Wars III during the 2nd shift at Toa Payoh. seats arent too bad, the usual Eng Wah standard. the movie itself... 3.5 on 5 i suppose. sure, its got swooshy lightsaber duels and all, but the plot development was a letdown. like how Anakin is just so easy for Palpatine to manpulate. what a weak character! way too sudden... Natalie Portman was also rather under-deployed, basically just there to smooch and die. in the hands of another director, with a script more developed, this might have risen higher. as it is, there was potentially enough material in there for another hour of film time.
just got back from the HC String Ensemble concert. really does remind me of the days when i used to play in concerts. cant say i dont miss it... the music was competent but not outstanding due to a lack of dynamics. Alicia and Debra the Violin Girls got solos, and they were good! shoulda gotten more airtime, the other quartet and quintet performances were rather sub-par. but hey.. for $7 whos complaining?
