Wonders of Pink grapefruit

Ahhh..The wonders of the scent emitting from The Body Shop (TBS) pink grapefruit body butter. I resisted buying this product since last friday and the urge came to a point that I found myself walking into TBS and purchasing a tub of pink grapefruit body butter. I am glad I bought it cos it makes Jo a happy girl now. (:

Anyway, Praise the Lord for the break tomorrow, thereby making the work week seem shorter. Its good and I am not complaining. At least, I won't be needing to use much of my brain cells and thinking on my feet. Seriously, studying and practising to be a dietitian is no easy feat. It is easy to think theorectically but when you have a patient in front of you, you have to tailor your education around the patient and pray that the patient does not make life difficult for you. Please do not get me wrong. I understand that the hospital is the last place anyone wants to be in there, together with plaguing illness, tests, sickly bedside neighbours who cough their lungs out and lastly, hospital meals (which due to transport time from kitchen to ward may taste / look horrible).

So far, week 3 in the hospital has been good and I'm starting to explain the diet-disease relationship. I did a couple so far, 1 in English and 1 in Mandarin (which the patient did not understand but brother-in-law did, so phew!). Anyway, I definitely need more practise with doing it in different languages. Just when you think that doing it in English was bad enough, try doing it in another language, explaining in layman's term.

Oh well, I'm not sure what I wanna do upon graduation. Enjoy the public holiday peeps while I continue enjoying my pink grapefruit fragrance! Sniff! Ahhh...
