anyway wanna ask you... if in any chance e diahorrea I told you abt just now is caused by food posioning, wat colour would e stool be?
If the food poisoning is caused by the 'usual suspects', it will resolve by itself with the medication prescribed by the doc.
However, if the toxin is much stronger, you will see signs other than just plain ol' diarrhoea. A stool specimen will have to be taken to diagnose that and prescribe the appropriate type of antibiotics. In severe cases, hospitalisation might be necessary for I/V Antibiotics and to monitor the person's fluid balance to ensure that they don't become dehydrated.
For food poisoning, there is no colour per se. The worst, absolute worst kinda stools I've seen before is with undigested pieces of green vegetable floating at the top! AAaaaaargggghhh!!
OK, no more mention of stools!

I wonder how often they get an hour off to be 'active' too! If it's a once a year thing, then fat lot of good it would do!
ahh... from people upstairs, they've gone upstairs to the auditorium lobby and made to do some kind of dunno what exercise...

don't care about those idiots..
they are the ones who stonewall everything...
they have a Transport Section which refuses to transport anything, they have a Buildings Section which refuses to give us access and keys to our own office rooms...
and most of all, they have a Director who stonewalls everything, and supports his heads of sections.. no matter how insane and barking mad their decisions are (which are usually because they are too lazy)
the Dir rejected suggestions to put chain barricades at a cul-de-sac to stop jaywalking until someone was run over.. "no.. impossible to do.." then after the near fatality, it was done within 3 hours...
the most insane thing was when i put up for a defib to be put at the security, in case people drop from heart attacks, the rejection which came had this reason: we do not want the public to complain if we do not use the thing properly and cause injury...
i am not kidding...
the only people who are okay in there are the clerical staff, who try to help as much as possible.. the execs and all that, are lazier than sloths on valium

yes.. i went and got the name cards of the people selling that, got quotations of how much those things were, and here's the shocker: when we buy the things, people will be trained to use it..
and according to the guy, there is actually no training needed.. the computerised thing will tell you if you've put the electrodes in the correct place, along with illustrations..
when they're correctly placed, the machine will sound off that it's taking over and do the necessary defib..
the thing is that the bloody head of that procurement section was too lazy to do anything so she rejected it..
back. nearly nodded off during the afternoon session, not from the subject matter. more of me being zzz deprived.

Wah... I received an email thanking me for participating in Singapore Day and inviting me over to the Overseas Singaporeans portal! They'll soon be giving me some kinda ID so I can fully participate in the activities on the site!
Not bad leh... at least can see some kinda effort being done to make Singaporeans overseas feel that we have not been forgotten.

our gahmen is very funny sometimes. they only care about you when you're not in singapore.

Yeah... with the new Automatic Defibrillators these days, you can't go wrong because the screen will show you step-by-step what to do and there will be a voice instructing you as well.
All you need to do is to place the pads on the positions indicated and the machine does the rest. SGH trained us using all the different types of defibrillators we had and you'd really have to be a dinosaur to screw it up!

It's like the Parable of the Lost Sheep where the shepherd left his herd to look for his one missing sheep. So, sorry hor... as long as you stay in the motherland, you are of no value but the minute you step overseas, your value increases drastically!
Doesn't that sound like many relationships we know of? One partner takes the other for granted until the other disappears or shows signs of leaving and than, waaaaah... suddenly, the behaviour improves!
