weekend in grimsby & scunthorpe 130805
i have yet to report on my fortnight’s experience of working..in general i’ll give it a 3 1/2 star rating. working environment’s not too bad.i’m currently in breast surgery, average patients i’m responsible for: 5. one of my consultant’s been on leave, so last monday i only had 1 patient to look after. she then was discharged home around 1330 that same day, therefore i was left jobless again. tuesday, guess how many admissions i had? 0.yes u read it right: 0 patients. i was so ‘mati kutu’ i actually went back to my crappy room for a quick zzzz. the acoomodation they’ve provided us is to be ridiculed. i live in a corridor of 14 rooms (i just counted them 2seconds ago) and it’s 75% occupied. we’re expected to share 2 showers,2 toilets,1 bath,1 kitchen n 1 tv room.i was like d***. i live in a box measuring 3m x 4m and just too make feel more suffocated, it’s jam-packed with a single bed (has a horrible mattress btw, lendut kt tengah2nyer..), 1 bedside table, 1 dressing table, 1 huge cupboard, 2 shelves, 2 chairs, 1 stool, 3 mirrors and 1 sink. and the ventilations great too: there’s one window that’ll only open up 1 jengkal apart, tapi takleh tutup rapat. so at night i’ll be shivering like a person who’s stuck in a mortuary freezer bed!!!my rooms like a tongkang pecah now, once i sort things out i’ll snap a few pixies n let u all have taste of what i have to live in.
and so, to escape from this little hellhole, i decided to hop on a train to scunthorpe to meet up with kt, normi n norley. it was norley’s birthday last friday and she’s been feeling really down being stuck in another hellhole called Bangor. it’s some hilly town in wales where ur awaken by the sound of seagulls. i definitely have to go there one day as i’ve always loved the sound of seagulls over the background of splashing sea water. as i was on the transpennine express, they sms-ed me saying they were watching a movie n i had to wander around scunthorpe by myself for 2 hours whilst they watched the island.i was like what would i wanna do there by myself so i decided to just head up to grimsby town, n see how syida n win were doing there.
grimsby: nice town, met up with them at freshney place. surprisingly they even have starbucks??kalah doncaster siot!!they were provided with wonderful flats, shared by 2. even got 2 rooms each. spacious kitchen. f***. they’re 2nd room was even bigger than my only box-room n they even have two comfy couches in it!!!!therefore i decided to stay the night there. win made spaghetti bolognaise. wonderful cooking. while dining we watched this skinny guy trying to impersonate robbie williams in his kiss outfit on ‘Stars in their eyes’. fairly disgusting to watch but i have to give it to him, it was an OK performance for an average joe.
next day, sunday 0705 am: DAMN!!there goes the alarm clock. why so early on a sunday morning? i was getting a lift from syida’s flatmate najmie to scunthorpe as she was on-call that morning. arghh, i dreaded having to get out of bed that early on a cool, lovely sunday morning. anyway, there’s always sacrifices that has to be made in order to get something for "free". thanks again najmie for the ride.i just hope u got to work on time with all the road diversions n sesat2. arrived in scunthorpe general hospital, everyone else got ready and we took a 20 min hike to town just to realize that the whole town was closed for business. ape laa scunthorpe. dahlaa takde bus service langsung on sundays!! luckily tj hughes was open and we managed to have a mini-cosmetics shopping spree of our own there. mana tak nyer:
Calvin Klein loose powder: 5.99,
Calvin Klein lipstick 2.99,
Elizabeth Arden Green Tea EDP 30ml: 5.00, Revlon lipstick: 1.00.
i also grabbed a pink sweat pants and the grand total was 17.98. all of what i’ve stated up there totalled up to 17.98. bargain? haha. definitely.
