thoughts of a POP (prisoner of pfizer)

these couple of days i'm lying in hospital, taking part in a pharmacokinetic trial for this drug pfizer is marketing. yar in sorts, something like being a lab rat. i must say i've been enjoying myself, sometimes i just smile to myself (and get ridiculed by w who shares the room w me). haha. today, is the 3rd day of the study.

smiling for a reason. cause when i realise what comfort and luxury i am in right now, it just makes me.. happy. haha, sure it may sound silly... but that's the way i'm feeling man. what's better is that we're getting paid man!! i almost can't believe it.

let's see, today's programme was something like... taking blood at 9am, then a warm shower. then bfast/lunch/dinner interspersed with movies, dota and magazine browsing. hehe.

anyway, y3 left yesterday after they discovered some abnormality in his liver panel. i think nothing much lar, but they just want to play safe so they sent him home. but with a good pay packet anyhow. haha, but then again he doesn't get to enjoy the good foods yada. the feeds here are not bad, quite a good baseline lar. w thinks tt the vegs SUCK but i think they're ok lar, not tt bad. but then again, today's coleslaw was SHIT. sometimes they have nice deserts like this lemon pie thingy which was something tt u would find in starbucks. omg. i think it's all cooked by the SGH canteen. the A-class ward feeds no doubt.

of course, not all times were tt sweet, some more painful. just yesterday they cannulated our arms because they had to take blood a friggin 7 times! omg. and can u imagine they actually missed my vein. MY VEINS are like how friggin big. how to miss? andyway others had it worse. like w who got 'cannulated' 5 times and have 6 venepunctures done. i just had 1 failed cannulation, and 1 successful one. lol.

well, tml will be the same thing again, just bloods at 9am then the rest of the day free. prob going to watch more movies. haha. i actually brought in some drama serials but didn't get the time to watch. too busy playing. lol. realised playing dota is actually quite stressful when u live in the oh-so-relaxing-environment here... anyway i made alot of new friends here. quite friendly, hope tt we'll still stay in contact in the years down. also got to know better pple who i'd previously known. :)

but the thing which makes my heart smile every day is hearing your voice over the phone. :) thanks for being so sweet to call.
