Research - Part 1

Finally, we started our research project - swabbing doctors' tie. Really happy and excited.

At 10pm, we brought along our swab and went to the surgical ward. Guess who was our 1st victim? He was not others but a normal HO. We explained our research purpose and procedures to him. He seemed like understand, but after filling up our questionnaire, he said: "Are u guys going to swab my throat now?" (if don't understand pls ask us to explain again, no need to pretend understand) Easily, we got our 1st swab done in 5 minutes time. Seemed pretty easy to us.

After that, we bumped into Mr. Anus. He was still so funny as before. He told us that he never wash his tie. He always bought new tie from pasar malam for RM 7 and threw it away whenever he got a new 1. (maybe he just wanna show that he is rich)

In SOPD, we met Mr. Gorilla. He mentioned that he did not wash his tie for 8 years already. (so dirty of him, that's why he is gorilla) He even blew on his tie to put more SA and MRSA on it. (swt, spoil our research purpose) Anyway still need to thank him for letting us to swab his 8-year fermented tie.

Actually, it's not easy to get 50 male doctors from surgical, orthopedic and paediatric departments. We kept hunting for them. Poor Shang had to go ward by ward and asked the nurses or female doctors, "Is there any guys doctors aroundddddd?" with her smiley and desperate face. Most of the nurses and female doctors just stared at her before they replied. (they must be thinking why is this gal comes and looks for male doctors during holiday :P, so desperate......)

After lunch, we went to meet Jimbo. We were not sure whether he was in the office, so very naturally we knocked his door. Somehow, Syafiq answered confidently, "Ya, he is in. I can smell him." Jimbo opened the door. We burst into laugh. (really salute him of having the skill of locating ppl by smell, maybe his olfactory nerve is just more advanced than us.)

In the afternoon, we continued with our hunting. We were rejected by Aragorn, the king of arrogant. Anyway, I expected him to say "NO" before we requested him to participate in our survey. I really wondered what had changed him so much. Anyone can provide me the answer can get 1 TFTD kudo.

Afterwards, we met Zhong1 Guo2 Guo2 Bao3 (some1 told me this is more suitable for him). He was so kind to let us swab his tie and he even filled in his age in the questionnaire. Guess how old is him? The 1st one to get it correct will get a kudo as well :)

Another funny scenario was when we met Mr. XYZ outside the 3rd floor lift. When he came out from the lift, Syafiq automatically transformed into the Digi Man and followed him. We managed to stop him but still Mr XYZ realised and turned back. He stared looked at us. (u guys already swabbed my tie, what u want more from me?) Quickly, he rushed into ICU. Just after 2 minutes, he came out. He was stunned to see us still standing outside. (actually we re waiting for lift, not him.) Just because of the 2 seconds stun, we heard a "BANG!!!". He was knocked by the automatic door of ICU. Immediately, all of us turned and faced the lift. We were trying hard to control ourselves - don't laugh! It was really funny if you were there and witnessed what had happend. Ok, another kudo will be awarded to the 1st person to name Mr. XYZ.

Around 5pm, we managed to complete our 20 swabs from SOPD. Again, thanks to Zhong1 Guo2 Guo2 Bao3 for telling us they had a HO teahcing lesson in SOPD after 4.30pm every Tuesday.

Well done guys. Very eager to see the result tomorrow. Tomorrow will be another tiring hunting day for us, I assumed.
