Unluckiest Day Ever....

Having to deal with the stress of starting work in the cardiopulmonary department is already very exhausting....... Just the thought of it exhaust me to the core. Everyday seeing patients with heart and lung problems is going to be extremely tough, as compared to seeing patients with musculoskeletal problem or neurological problem. More precautions and contraindications. More of everything............ ~go away, thoughts~

As if God thinks that this isn't challenging enough for me and put me through another day of tests. These are the days when I do not want to get out of bed but was forced to, and when I get up, it feels like I got up from the wrong side of the bed.

As a foreigner in Singapore, I got to apply for an Employment Pass. So, here's my ordeal (in the form of a timetable):

8:00am: Go to hospital to get my forms and medical check up form

8:45am: Got into the MRT, travelled 2 stops away before realizing that the HR woman didn't
give me my employment pass form, only my PR form. WTF!

9:00am: Back at hospital to get my EP form.

9:10am: Inside hospital's lift to go to MRT station, when to my horror, my medical check-up form is EMPTY! WTF 2! Called the woman and she say 'souli' 100 times and ask me to go back.

9:15am: At the HR department again to get my medical check-up form from 'souli woman'.

10:30am: Reached the Ministry to do my EP. Got my number and waited for 20 minutes.

10:50am: My turn!! Finally.....! Well, spoken too soon, I guess. The nice counter lady told me that the doctor did not tick in the box indicating that I am 'normal', and instead cross out the whole section of 'abnormal'. So? So, I am not allowed to apply until the nice, old, balding doctor tick in the 'normal' boxes. WTF 3!!!!

11:00am: Returning back to the hospital, to see nice, old, balding doctor who doesn't know how to tick.

11:15am: Reached the counter, empty counter with no one. Waited impatiently for 10 minutes before another 'souli lady' came out.

11:25am: Explain my problem (or rather the doctor's problem) to 'souli lady'. She got another doctor to tick and sign for me, coz the other doctor has gone to learn how to tick.

11:35am: 'Souli lady' came out and return me my form, saying a thousand 'souli' until I say 'never mind' and smiled unwillingly.

12:20pm: Reach the Ministry AGAIN!! Took my 2nd number (should buy TOTO) and waited.

12:40pm: My turn. Hope nothing will screw up again.......OK, everything ok! But must wait for 3 hours before they give me my EP. WTF 4!!!

12:50 - 3pm: Had lunch, roam around in shopping mall - wasted damn lots of money, rot in Starbucks.

3:30pm: Finally, my EP is ready.............!!

What a long, long, unlucky day. My feet hurts, my body aches, I am totally exhausted!!
Well, the only positive thing that I can think of is - I had a good workout...!
