August A-Coming

1st August (Saturday) - Well you look at that. In just a blink of an eye and we're already in August. It has nearly been a month that I'm posted in ground floor and I've grown so much since then. True my aesthetic training doesn't help out much with dressings and sutures, but when it comes to scars, and the patient couldn't clear it with the scar cream, then all that is left is me suggesting to them to go to the plastic surgeon.
Of course with Bon Odori coming next month, I am now trying to go on a diet to reduce my waist line. I'm telling you, no matter what I do, hula hoops, push ups, sit ups, using the gym balls for stretching, zumba, abdomen crunches, going on a carb-free diet, none is helping. Urgh, waist line toning is the toughest. Many of my male friends got their abs through protein shakes, lean meats and such. I don't eat beef, venison, lamb and such, so I have to resort to oats, high fibre and protein diet, which includes replacing my meals with oats, chlorophyll and lemon water. Uh-huh, no joke. Ever since I joined the aesthetic girls, they taught me that besides exercising, diet is also very important. And I'm determined to control my stubborn waistline.
A doctor shared with me that when he was a kid, he had never wanted to sleep, preferring to stay up late at night. Confession : I used to too, especially reading. I'm a bookworm, through and through. Give me a book and I'll be a happy person. Most of my salary are spent on books. But now that I'm a full-fledged working adult, I now realize the importance of sleep. No sleep = no fuel = no mood = unable to work happy. I guess my friend was right, about how when we were once young we tend to do silly things.
With the senior staffs busy dealing with their errands, I now have to shoulder the office tasks, such as registering patients, filing in folders, faxing prescriptions, fixing the photocopier if it jams, topping up our sticker labels etc etc. I'm a little on the slow side, but I was able to do it after a week worth of practice.
And as for my story, it's still going on, full speed ahead. Stay tuned for more posts or updates from me. And as I finished writing this post, it's already past midnight. Hence it's officially 2nd August. Happy birthday to me, going a year older and hopefully a year wiser.
