Race against time...

I only have two days to prepare for my presentation on Friday. Less than 2 days actually as I'm procrastinating here. Slides not done, speech not prepared. >.<
Luckily HB was really nice to give me a lot of useful tips on preparing for the presentation. And she said my proposal was good. She's actually very friendly. =)

I am really racing against time to get everything done by Friday. Haven't studied for pharm chem lab test. Haven't completed the reflection part of my hospital workbook. Gosh... Wish I am a road runner or superwoman... :-S




But definitely not something like this... Although I like tortoise a lot...

Helpless...


I've abandoned my blog for a very long time as usual. Planned to post pics of my recent activities but didn't have time to do so. And I don't intend to do so in this post as well. I just wanna type out how I feel now.

I don't know if it's because I'm stressed or for other unknown reason, as time goes by, I realise I'm over concerned about trivial stuffs or incidents that others don't even bother to care. I think I'm just too 执著. I really need to learn how to let go and care less. Maybe I should expect less too.

Recently (I mean this year) I tend to miss home very often. So often that I don't understand why. Do people miss home and their family more as they grow up? Sometimes I feel like talking to my parents or my sis/bro when I'm feeling down but I can't call them because I know I'll start crying if I hear their voices. I don't want them to worry about me. I just need to talk to someone at home who really understands how I feel and is willing to tell me everything will be alright and tomorrow will be a better day. =(
Sometimes I really wish I have a lot of money so that I can just buy a flight ticket and go home whenever I feel like doing so. Well, life isn't always the way we want it to be. I really want to graduate asap and go home to be with my family.

I always have this thought recently. Did I overestimate my ability? I think I did. If not I wouldn't have put myself into this...... I hope it will pay off in the future. I really do.

Maybe I should name this post a depressing post because nothing that I mentioned above can be related to happiness. I shall continue working on my proposal. Night eveyone...

Random update


Just realised I haven't updated my blog since May. :P

Many things happened in the last 3 months. I turned 22 in June. Starting to feel old already. Now I'm in the second semester of third year pharmacy course. Timetable for this semester is much better compared to last semester. That's why I had been procrastinating a lot in the last 2 weeks instead of using the free time to revise my lecture notes. Now I'm starting to feel guilty and regret because I'm going to start working on the literature review for my research project next week and surely won't have as much free time as before to do revision. :-(
Oh, the happy news for this week was I managed to get my second choice topic for honours project. I'm happy enough although I was really hoping to get my first choice topic. At least I don't have to travel to other uni to carry out the lab work. =)

I went back to Malaysia during the winter break. I think not many people knew that I was at home. So I only managed to catch up with HS who is going to study in UK soon. Think I won't be able to meet her for at least 2 years from now. :-(
Hope she will adapt well in UK and enjoy her uni life in a foreign country. I had really great time relaxing at home after a torturing semester. There was no need to worry about what to cook for dinner and I could watch as much tv program/drama series as I like without worrying about studies. Planned to have my ears pierced during the holiday but didn't because mom said it's better to do it when I go back during summer so that she can remind me how to take care of the "wound". Hope really can get it done when I go home next time. Btw, when I was at home for about a month, I realised that my parents are so much older now. I feel so sad for them whenever I think of the time when the three of us are not at home. I'm sure they feel very lonely without us at home. Now I can't wait to graduate so that at least I could be at home more often after my bro goes to the US.

Many things on my mind recently. Maybe that's why I start to become slightly anti-social and prefer to be in my own room. Some things might be trivial to most people but not for me. Sometimes people just can't understand how I feel. Or maybe it's just me who worry/think too much. Anyway, hope I won't have time to worry about those problems when I start to get busy.

As usual, pictures taken in the past few months:

Nice talk...

I was supposed to do my pharm lab report on Saturday night and my aim was to finish it on the same day. But I had so much phone credit left so I decided to call Sau Lee and give her a big surprise. Haha! She was indeed very very surprised. But sadly she couldn't recognise my voice even though I called her "Chang Sau Lee". Whoelse on earth would call her full name... :P Maybe because we haven't talked to each other for ages (since Year 12 in INTEC to be exact)... Luckily I told her who am I before she started scolding me. Haha! I could sense that she was starting to get angry and thought that it was a prank call... lol

Anyways, it was a really looooooooong and nice chat. Really miss those days in INTEC when we sat next to each other everyday and talked all sorts of nonsense in class. I really hope she will be coming to Australia (or UWA is even better) for her twinning program. Then we would have more chance to meet up. I'm so sorry for breaking my promises to meet her up in KL everytime I go home. She got so upset everytime I let her down and now she has decided that the easier way to meet up with me is by coming to my house instead of me going to hers... lol We shall see how things go in july then...

Just realised I didnt take much picture with Sau Lee in INTEC =(

Can't wait to go home... Don't know why this year I miss home more often as compared to previous years. Maybe because many things had happened in the past few months and maybe because pharmacy 3rd year is more stressful... =(
One more month one more month and I will be lying on my own bed in my home sweet home... hihi...

Oh btw, I did manage to finish my lab report but not until freaking 6am... :-S

A Lucky or Unlucky Week???

I really don't know how should I classify the 6th week of my 1st sem in 2009. Went to see doctor on Monday and was diagnosed with conjunctivitis. So I had to buy another eye drops for $19.20. This price is almost triple of the price for the first eye drops that I bought last week. The first eye drops was supposed to prevent me from having conjunctivitis and yet I am still infected. :-(
The doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong with me and he said I'm "unsual". Hmm.... Does that mean I'm weird???


Then on the same day after dinner, I switched on my laptop to check my Oasis email as usual. I saw an email from Dr. Brett. While I was still downloading the attached document, I confidently told Ling Weng that this letter was sent to inform me that I wasn't selected to be part of the Honours stream. But...... miracle did happen. I couldn't believe my eyes after i read the letter and I asked her to double check for me. And yes, I am selected. "OMG" was the word that I kept repeating to her because I really didn't put on any hope on this whole thing. I went for the selection process just to gain some experience. Even until now I still cannot figure out why they pick me. I'm not one of the top students, yes, not even close. So I really have no idea. I must be extremely lucky to be chosen by them. I did consider whether or not to take up the program on that night because taking up the honours program means I'll have much heavier workload as compared to the others and I really have to be working and studying really hard in my 4th year. After talking to my parents and had some serious thoughts, I'd decided to take up the challenge. I guess I have to start manage my time in a better way and learn how to handle the huge stress that is waiting for me in next year. St told me that some of our seniors had withdrawn from the Honours program in their 4th year and I really hope that I won't become one of them. So Ling Weng, forgive me if I turn into a very "emo" person next year. I am serious. Now I can feel the pressure is starting to build up already. You better buy more ice cream for me next year. Haha!

Ok, so now who's gonna tell me how should I classify this "dramatic" week? Hmm....

Poke Poke Poke Poke...

My hands were "poked" by needles of the syringes 4 times in a week. On Monday I had the Mantoux Test on my right hand. I don't know what happened but my body seems to have different reaction as compared to other friends. My result was only a small red dot which measured 5mm while the others had "mosquito bite-like lump" measured at least 8 or 9mm. But thank god i pass the test and do not require a second test.



Mantoux Test


Then today after lecture at about 10am, I went to have blood test and 2 more injections. The doctor asked me whether I prefer to have the Flu vaccine and the Boostrix vaccine on the same day or come back on other day, my answer was obviously on the same day. I would rather suffer the pain all at once than suffer in 3 different occasions. So there it went. The nurse was extraordinarily efficient in doing her job and I got everything done (Blood extraction, Flu vaccine, Boostrix) in less than 5 minutes. Oh, FYI, I turned my head away from my arm where the blood was being extracted and where the vaccines were being injected during the whole process. So I didn't know when the nurse withdrew the needle from my arm until I heard her sticking the tape over the cotton ball. I didn't even know she extracted so much blood from my vein until I saw the tube containing my blood. I think it should be around 5 or 6 mL. After that, I came home with 3 cotton balls sticking onto my arm and I think I looked like a very sick patient. Haha!




Now my arm feels really sore and tired due to both vaccines. I don't feel like moving my arm. And I have bruises at the site where the blood was extracted and it is painful as well. Again, I'm different from my friends because they don't feel pain even they got bruises. Some of my friends said it depends on the skill of the nurse. Perhaps the nurse that did the job was not good enough or maybe my muscle was too stiff when she poked the needle in. Haih...




Ok, I think I shall study a bit of chemo now since I'm going out tomorrow. I decided to go out just because I won't have free time to go out anymore starting from next week, not that I have to buy something. How sad is a 3rd year pharmacy student's life... We even have test in week 5 which is less than a month since we started uni... :-(

New Year 2009

Happy New Year everyone!!! Finally 2009 is here. And yes, I’m back in Tampin since 24 November 2008. Why is everyone so busy when I’m having my looooong holiday??? Hmm….



Ok, back to the main point. When the clock on the wall showed that it was already 12am, I didn’t feel extremely excited like many other youngsters who were counting down and jumping up and down out there, nor did I feel depressed like many working adults who are going to face a tough economic year ahead. I can’t explain why. I guess to me, 2009 is just another new year like many other years before. Except that I’m going to face the 3rd year of my course, which according to many seniors is the most challenging year. Maybe I won’t be affected by the economic crisis as much as the working adults. But then I think I should start spending my allowances very much wiser and cut down on shopping when I’m back in Perth. I’m not sure if you guys still remember that I’d listed out a few New Year resolutions at the beginning of 2008. I must admit that I was not a very determined person in 2008. I didn’t manage to achieve all five New Year resolutions.


2008 New Year Resolutions:

1. To be a more HARDWORKING student.

(Achieved)

2. Sleep early and wake up early. (try not to take a nap after class)

(Not achieved)

3. To get a part time job in a pharmacy if possible. (so that I can earn back my AUS$60 :P)

(Not achieved)

4. Improve my cooking skills. (so that my future housemates don't have to eat the same dishes over and over again) (Half achieved :P)

5. Most important - to be more patient with everything.

(Achieved)




Ok, even though I know that I won’t be able to achieve all my goals in 2009 as well, but I think I should at least have some New Year resolutions for 2009. As being said by Gerry to Holly in PS I Love You, “shoot for the moon and if u miss you'll still be among the stars”. At least by the end of 2009, I will be able to tell myself “it’s ok, I’ve tried my best.”


1) Study hard and have a healthy lifestyle.

2) MUST get a part time job in pharmacy.

3) Be more sociable in my class. (this is extremely important)

4) Be a better person among my family and friends.


I think I’m not too greedy to have 4 resolutions right? Hopefully I will be able to put a tick at every resolution by the end of next year. *fingers crossed*
