Changes

Yes.... I know, I haven't been writing for the month of April. Let's just say i wanted a break. A long cool break.No writing, nothing very productive, just a time of relaxation.I think it was needful, seeing as the past semester was downright crazy.
On May 2nd i started my Industrial training at Hospital Melaka(Huge place, if i may say so myself).I'm currently attached to the Microbiology department of the Pathology Lab. The past few weeks i have been dealing with plenty of human fluid samples. You name it, we got it.Urine, HVS (high vaginal Swabs), stool(in other words s**t), cerebrospinal fluid, pus, blood, sputum(yuck!), etc, etc...
The workload is not heavy at all, and there's plenty of time to bond with the adults working there, who are surprisingly very warm and friendly.there are about 6 MLTs (medical lab technicians) and several pegawai sains at the microbe lab and I'm treated quite well for a trainee.There's only one other trainee around, and she'll be leaving in a week, which will leave only yours truly at the microbe lab.
This experience is opening doors I can only dream about. This includes watching two post mortems being performed on the same day( an interesting story i will save for the next entry)
and developing an allergy which landed me in the A&E( accidents and Emergency ward) of which account I shall give in full next entry.
So far, many changes. My good friend Deborah has graduated and is going to Thailand on a mission trip before she enters the working world, which is her firstfruit offering to God. To her i wish Godspeed.
All For now, is this.
