Life in LSC day 1
Day 1 (22/2)
Rou & I reached half an hour earlier to the hospital, waited for the HR leng lui to register us. Gave us a name tag & card for food discount, guided by another experienced trainee to the main laboratory =)
Am super nervous and sweating like hell when I first reached. Everyone seemed to be busy and professional! Got into the lab manager, Mr Loh's room for a brief introduction and explanation session, left us a laboratory guidelines to read and he rushed back to the lab. According to other lab technologists, monday is usually pretty busy as lesser people worked during weekends. While reading the guidelines, we were like ooppsssy this wrong that wrong! Turn out we have totally wrong perception on the working environment, tsk tskkk. No makeup, preferable no contact lenses, long pants, closed-toe shoes and yada yada all the laboratory rules. omg so strict! T__T
Mr Loh came in afterwards, explained a little bit more about the laboratory procedures. Put on lab coats and we're allowed to move around the lab with proper attire. There are 5 sections (if im not mistaken) in the lab and we'll be in each section for two weeks. Im in the Chemistry and Sero-immunology section while Rou's in Blood Bank. Sounds proooo, likeyyy =D Everyone was pretty busy so i dare not to interrupt them, just standing beside to observe the way they conduct the tests. The lab technologist in the section today is Chai Hoon who looks 70% like Kee May!! xD Later on, Mr Loh gave me a whole stack of "notes" about the two BIG machines in the section. Browsed through 5 mins, blanked 5 mins and it went on for 2 hours? lol yawned for dunno how many time -.-
Finally I took up the courage to talk to CH and she explained about the two machines and the routine work in the section. Demonstrated dengue test since there's a test order for that =) alot more explanations on the reagents used for the machines, purposes for the test, hw to put the tube in the machines etc etc.
Day 1 is just waiting for the clock strikes 530pm and yeshhhhh bye bye! xD
Mango jie texted be the day before just to emphasize one major problem of me, TOO FIERCE >.<
