I want to start new on certain things and this should mark as the first one. I now should start being selfish for the time being (and no one should get mad at me) because my exams are coming! Tsk. Next week I'll have the horror FMT test, a hospital visit in Paisley and a PP3 practical class test! Since I was the only one who passed in the PP3 class mock test previously, I surely pray and hope that I won't flunk this one!!!
The week after I'll have a presentation of my hospital visit (more like a drilling session!) and then a video exam of "Responding to Symptoms". Sigh. AND THEN the week after that I'll have a degree exemption PP3 practical class test. If I pass this I won't have to take the exam this May!
InsyaAllah I'll do well. Pray for the best!
Tutor bangin' heads
Had tutorial this morning. Lucky me, dapat tutor explaining every single thing including history of gentamicin that doesn't really concern us (for now).
Took me 40 minutes to walk to class, double the time than usual. Literally dragged my feet, nasib tak pengsan tengah jalan. Just kidding. ;p
But anyway, his voice was doing my head in! It wasn't anything abnormal or disturbing but it's just that memang tengah nak pening plus sinusitis nya. I literally shut my ears, during tutorial. Sure dia pikir wth is wrong with this girl, kan?
Tomorrow another tutorial. Hope Ms AT won't be as annoying in class than in tutorial. I can just imagine. And it'll prolly be worse than today too considering it's at 9 in the morning. Good luck to me.
Good night.

Bulan 3
Sudah March!!!!!
So many datelines. So many things to do this month. A good "work your butt off" month before the 'deserving' break for Easter? I don't know.
The only way to survive: Don't pause because when I do, I can't start balik. Jig it? So, hopefully I'll get the flow. Beri daku semangat! Fuh!!
Now tidur time. The flu is really bugging me... :'( I hate flu with watery eyes! Makes me cry just to get rid of it. Hehe. It's the weather I think. It's warm but it's not warm, it'll be more extreme later so I'll have to take care of myself.
Drink lots of fluid and exercise a lot, I always say to my virtual patients. Haha pseudo me.
Bbyong~!
p/s: Tomorrow first day of sterile lab. Will I get to wear the penguin suit? =)
Edit: Sneezed every 10 seconds for the last 10 minutes of lab. Contamination much?

Happy out of my wits! And New Year!
I had a dispensing class test last week. Although the marks aren't counted towards the final, I was still worried on how I did. Four prescriptions to be done in 2 hours; I was done half an hour before time was up, and was second to leave.
This evening we had a feedback session on our test. Know how I did?
I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE CLASS GROUP TO PASS THE TEST!
YaAllah, alhamdulillah.... Syukurnya tak terhingga. Even if the test wasn't counted for, I was still happy, and still am! I got a positive mark, and I passed! Atas pagar betul-betul but heck, at least tak dapat negative marks.
But I can't sleep peacefully yet. Marks for my anxiety essay is still not up yet. I'll get my Pharmacy Practice marks tomorrow. And I have another test on Thursday until I can say 'Merdeka!' for the semester! Can't wait..
For my dear Muslim brothers and sisters, Awal Muharram (the Month of Allah) 1431H is coming soon. May Allah swt forgive us of our sins over the year and may the year to come be full of goodness and virtue, insyaAllah.
Diet regime
Q: How do you lose 2 inches off your waist and 1.5 inches off your hip?
A: Simple.
Take an MPharm course available near you NOW!
:)
Yes, I just realised I lost that much measurement. It was yesterday that I realised it because I wore one of my skinniest skinnies and it's actually quite lose! I don't like it at all.
FACT: From University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS), it says people with apple-shaped bodies face more health risks when compared to people who are pear-shaped.
I'm pear and I have 0.71 ratio. That's healthy! :)
Summer calendar, already.
Previously stated, I will be doing my summer internship at Taunton, Somerset for two whole months.
Good news is that I have a friend who has worked in a hospital there before and she said the place is absolutely safe, the weather is absolutely different than Scotland (definitely better!) and the people are absolutely nice. ABSOLUTELY!
Ok so the job starts on the June 14th next year and will probably end mid August. And then YAHOOOO I can go back home and enjoy the rest of my hopefully nice summer. Until the end of September, I'll be able to celebrate raya, spend time with family, friends and him.
But like how I've always mentioned, jangan berangan, nanti sure tak jadi.....
So here's the downfall.
After I graduate, I'll have to pass a one year pre-registration training so that I can practice as a registered pharmacist (considering I pass the registration exam as well). That's the plan, aside from working for 5 years with UEM. It'll be easier if I get my practice license here right.
That was just a plan. I never thought it through, never seen or studied through any documents I have to have etc. Turns out the dateline for pre-reg. course in Scotland would be June. Yes, June next year after I finish 3rd year.
After I apply, I go for my intern and get good impression (I have to get them from hospitals during the next semester as well) and after I finish I have to wait till September for the interview.
INTERVIEW OF MY PRE-REG.! SEPTEMBER! 8th, 9th, or 10th. Fixed dates. No changing. OHMYGDRAGON.
Even if I get the earliest interview on the 8th, I'll jump on the next flight the following day (and I get to spend my birthday in the airway. How exciting.). Raya would be a few days after and I have till the final weekend of September to get my ass back into The Gloomy Glasgow. That's like what, 3 weeks only??? Sigh..
Haven't told my parents bout this yet. Yes I've told them I'll be in Taunton, but the interview part.. Not yet. I've told me love about it and I don't seem to have any feedback yet. Hmmmm.... I'm scared?
Just this gets me stressed. I get stressed so easily these days, I need to get a hold of myself! I'm actually worried about a handful of things that is just too personal, I can't share them here and I haven't told anyone yet. Not a single soul! Not until I get them sorted and figured out first or if not people would think I'm a psycho or something.
I pray I'll stay well along this journey of mine and that the choices I make will be the best and will be understood and accepted by others. AMIN.
Forgotten
Stress over work is seriously nothing new.
I feel like the time itself could swallow me while I go anxious on just thinking whether my plans would work and finally ended up procrastinating.
The laptop is the devil.
The room is the devil.
The lighting is the devil.
The table is the devil.
The heating is the devil.
I remember telling myself,
"Owh I have a week. That's more days than the previous test."
And I swear there was a small voice in me saying,
"We'll go to the library and study our butts off!"
And another voice said,
"The weather is so bad, we'll just stay at home and study."
(...)
We ALL know home and study doesn't go well for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope I studied well for this. Owh God, crying won't even help. (Which is why I haven't! Pat in the back.)
While 'studying', the usual OCD for Facebook comes now and then. Happily scrolling down looking for updates that I KNEW wouldn't amuse me at all in the first place. When suddenly, I saw this name. The name I haven't even thought of, heard of, BOTHERED of for years. And I saw it. It wasn't even the owner's profile, it was just a mention. It's there. The name is there on Facebook.
I have to admit though there were a few mentions here and there over the second half of the year because of another kind of OCD person that really resembles her here. *Oops, did I let you guys know it's a HER? Sangat bimbo aku nih.* Being a photostat machine and a copy cat. But that's about it.
It disappeared from our lives (most of my close friends') because it chose to. For various stupid and idiotic reasons that only movie producers or novel writers can think of (and make it logically acceptable), making stupid decisions, irrelevant and nonsense excuses for God knows what, that I must confess, hurt me terribly considering how close we were before.
However I must confess again, that it lasted only for a nanosecond before a feeling of DISGUST overwhelmed me. And till then, not one person would even mention the name.
"Owh tak tau lah apa jadi dengan dia."
"I don't even know or care dia hidup lagi ke tak."
Those are the usual answers given by friends when asked of its roundabouts. It could sound harsh to you, but it is up to that extent. And the existence of it is slowly erased from our minds.
If no one knows what I'm talking about, that's uber-ly good.
If anyone of you reading knows what I'm talking about, you might be thinking any of these;
"Referring to the person as 'it' sangatlah kejam, very inhumane and immature."
"I agree to every single word you say and please just forget about this 'it'!"
"OMG IT'S ALIVE??"
Or any other responses.
The hatred I have for it now is obviously gone as I can't really convey it into my writing successfully. Obviously because I wouldn't want to waste another Joule of my energy on hating it. I might as well just accept the fact, move on, give her what she wants and just get lost. Right?
And I don't think it would hurt me if this reaches to the concerned party, because I'm just voicing out the obvious of what has been happening for the last fucking 4 years and that 99% of my friends actually think of the same thing.
If one should feel sorry, it shouldn't be me.
Taunton, Somerset
I started to get worried when my friends told me they've got emails from Boots accepting/rejecting their offers for summer placements. I was SURE I checked my email just that morning. But then they reassured me saying that Boots usually send their emails by waves, from North to South UK.
So a few days ago I checked my various emails (it's hard to have lots of email addresses!) and woop-de-doo-dahhh! I got the wonderful email! Apparently it's from the west region. Erkkk, I have to get used to another accent. It says that I've been accepted for summer placement at St James Medical Centre in Taunton, Somerset.
Where the heck is Taunton, I have no idea. Google it yourself to know. I can't deny that I didn't put that choice in (without knowing where it was in the first place!). But it's better than getting a place in some highland.
I told me Mummy and Daddy and they said the place seems fine, judging from the pictures in the net.
I will be going to take a peek during Winter break maybe right after class finishes or maybe for new year. Who knows, a small town in a small cottage, new year can be warm and cozy with good company. Haiih jangan berangan! Nanti tak jadi!

This is Taunton Castle. No, I won't be staying there.

The town centre I suppose. It looks so old-fashioned! I love!
It also reminded me of my family getaway when I was younger in Frasers.

That's where St James is I suppose. It's near the cricket stadium, by the river.
It's also near Dorothy Perkins retail outlet!! OMG!
I hope breathing in fresh air (anywhere apart from Scotland) would be nice. After all, I've been here for 2 years now and will be almost 3 next summer, and I haven't been anywhere particularly nice in UK! Apart from Alton Tower and London and Edinburgh where anyone would've been there at least once in their life times!
InsyaAllah it'll turn out alright. And I might experience just a little bit of fasting month during work in SUMMER!
When will I Learn
"You look mature for your age. You think maturely."
Those are the words I commonly get from lecturers and some of many bosses I work for at the hospital.
Being an intern makes you think more and more about yourself. You think you can gain experience and knowledge. NO, you believe so and of course you gain them. Nonetheless, at the same time you think how small you are, how shallow your knowledge is to the world of your future profession.
When will I learn how to think professionally? When will I learn how to think seriously of my future? All this while I assume I've been thinking seriously. However, have I really? I feel like my way of thinking haven't changed since school, how I study, how I handle things. I feel as if my scope of knowledge hasn't widen. Will I ever grow up and cope with what I've targeted for for years?
It took me 2 years of my course to really really realise that this is it. This isn't college where you study and work hard only to be able to study elsewhere better. NO. This is a higher target. You study so that you can be what you want to be for a lifetime. Knowing and realising while acknowledging it is different. Very.
My words are simple; feeling so is even more complex and deeper.
GO DIE!
SAMPAI HATI BUAT AKU MACAM NI!!
KAU MUNGKIR JANJI!!!
KAU.. KAU..
ADA 144 ORANG BACKING AKU SEBAB BENCI KAU!!
BIOPHARMACY 2!! GO DIE!!
Okay, boleh bernafas sekarang. Sila baca buku.

Paper Frenzy
So this past week I have been living with caffeine, 3 hours of sleep every night and chicken soup (balanced kan? haha). I wish I could get a hold of chocolates and ice creams but that would mean I'll be eating 'em while I read. Not a good habit, no no.
Not to mention I'm still contemplating on whether I should cut my hair here or when I go back to Malaysia later. The ends are killing me. But on the other hand maybe I should keep them long till I'm back home and that means it would be easier for me to decide what to do to my hair! Right? (Note: Anda, my hair needs proper treatment jugak. A cut is a must!)
With all this stress up and about, my period is going haywire as well. OhMyGdragon!
Pimples pun dah naik, on my face! That's a bit rare. Not to mention on my scalp. That's normal for me. But on my face?! And my skin is horrible now despite the expensive Clinique! Meanwhile, I'm trying to shift to Body Shop's shampoo. I think Tresemme is too dry for my scalp. But the conditioner is fine. So Body Shop's honey shampoo it is. I bought it online for £2 only. Sweet eh? Don't ask me where, I forgot. (No, I'm not selfish.)
I can't wait till 1600 hours on Friday the 22nd! That's when I'll be shouting "I'm FREE!!". Well not free from Uni but you dig what I mean.
And then we'll be off to Alton Towers and scream our heads off while on the crazy rides for TWO DAYS! OhMyGdragon again!
I shouldn't get too hyped up.
Here, relax:
Pray for me.
Burn the freakin' midnight oil.
I didn't do great for my OTC research. (I almost put down OST, HAHA) But that is by far the only essay I didn't do THAT well on. So a pat on me please. Lecturers keep reminding us, "Please try to not fail your papers." and even manage to stretch smiles across their faces.
WHAT KIND OF ENCOURAGEMENT WORDS ARE THOSE?!?!?!
(-.-")
BECAUSE..
I won't be sleeping tonight. YEAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Adjusts nerdy specs and rushes off to annoying and thick books.*
p/s: Can't wait to get my hands on the food tomorrow. As usual I'll be doing my summer fruit dessert. : )

TGIF? IFA?
TGIF!! Thank God it's Friday!!!!
Yeah right.
More like IFA. "It's Friday?? Already?!"
Please don't tell me I'm the only one saying that. This isn't even the first Friday I announced to myself on my 'upmost depression' of IFA.
The week after Easter break passed by in a blink of an eye. Firstly, all our lab and class schedules were practically cancelled. There was just this one feedback on our essay (which I got 1st grade, unexpectedly, coming from an essay. *Smug smug*). And so I spent my days in the LIBRARY. Told you I'd be studying and working like a nerd secretary.
But still. IFA!! I feel like I didn't even study much for my exam!
I'M FREAKING OUT!!!! AND NOW I'M STARTING TO GET ALL THIS CRAVES!!! Sabar Imi, sabar. Sabar tu half of Iman. 50 plus days je lagi till you get to eat at Chilli's, Kenny Roger's, Kopitiam, Nasi Ayam Tesco, Mummy's cooking! Haish, makan je ingat. Jumpa family tak ingat ke.
By the way, I realise I have been losing weight the past few weeks. This is PROVEN! My Evisu skinny jeans gave me space! HAHAHA. But apparently, last three days suddenly rasa ketat sikit. Why?! Not like my appetite was that much different! Wait, my appetite definitely changes, but it's the INPUT that counts. Not the desire, the dire needs. Hmmmmm. What ever it is, I'm glad I didn't sell my beloved jeans on Ebay. But I bet after this year's summer, I'll be thinking of the exact same thought yet again. Gwenchana, we learn from experience. ; )
IFA!!! Let's continue studying. I didn't sleep last night, so minta maaf ya.
Gunakanlah OXY
Kalau bukan di muka, mesti di kepala.
Nak sikat rambut pun susah.
Gunakanlah OXY.
Nak taruk OXY kat celah-celah rambut ke???
p/s: Biopharmacy test shite. Tomorrow another practical test, 3 products in 3 hours. Wish me luck!
*Kepala pening dah.

Electrified
Yo ma mann spidermann. Ok poyo.
Tough tough week! Had my practical last Friday, managed to complete two prescriptions in 2 hours, alhamdulillah. But not really confident on their quality. Buat pun cincai boncai. Haiihhh. Hopefully it'll turn out well. Had to do a suspension at first, and then an ointment. Tuhan sahaja tahu betapa penatnya tangan dan mental sewaktu itu. After that, managed to finish my 3,300 words essay! Whippee!
Currently stressing with class tests and reports. Classes dah kurang sikit, so I can somehow concentrate on studying past chapters. This Thursday I'll be having a Drugs and Disease class test. Essay test! I can't remember all the drugs for goodness sake! Tolonglah.
I was hungry just now and wanted to fry some eggs and toast a couple of bread. Unfortunately for me, the toaster broke, and managed to black out three quarter of the flat. I know! Why did it not affect the whole flat! So it was only my bathroom, the dining room and Chris's room that was alright. Luckily it was only 4pm, which means Chris would be back in 2 hours time. Sementara tu carik la fuse box, nak tolak tapi tak leh tolak pun! Chiiiissss.
Then my laptop died. GOOD! All my work in there ntah hidup ke tak. It started to get dark so I switched on the lights in the dining room and lit up candles in my room. Tak pasal-pasal romantic. Which made me feel ultimately sleepy. Aish! Thank goodness Chris was right on time and managed to get all the lights back on. I still blame the toaster. Maybe because I dropped cheese in it. Hehe
Did I mention I went to see JLS on Sunday night?!?! Oh I didn't. Jodoh temukan saya dan JLS. Oh my weren't they smoking hot!!!! I tried to control myself to not shout like a crazy fangirl. Please pat me on the back because I was successful! Hehe I was less than 5 meters away from them! OHMYGOD! My arm ached for recording videos of ALL their performances. They are HOT, they are GOOD SINGERS, what else what else. Owh tak boleh nak cakap apa dah. I promise I'll put up the video/photos later alright.
JLS triggered something. I became bored of my hair after I saw them. Don't ask why! It IS boring. Long, straight, boring. I always wanted to have long hair. And I'm quite proud of myself having it this long. *Smug* And taking care of this length hasn't been a hastle. Not yet, and not till forever I hope.
I can't have short hair. It'll make me look fat, with an ass bigger than it already is, even if short hair looks so cool on people. I don't think I can pull it off. And long hair looks better on me, majority voted. And when I do cut my hair, I will start complaining if it doesn't look good and someone would get sick of hearing this. Yes, I admit!
Have you heard of this airline ****air, will be charging for toilet entries?? Crazy right? They even said they'll charge for anything that's possible of charging. CRAZY. Orang lain boleh je survive. IDIOT.
Missing home right now. Hope things are better. Still haven't heard from him myself. Wonder what and more importantly HOW he'll tell me. Tak call-call lagi sebab my credit dah finish, and I'm busy to go and top up. Anak useless tak? Haiihh I feel so bad for not caring enough. It's fine. 85 more days! OMG, which reminds me. Exam's timetables are out! Tak tengok pun lagi! AAGH I hate this. Not prepared for ANY of the subjects. Nak nangis! Wish I can be as hardworking as you both. And yea, TAKE CARE WILL YOU!
Let's go! Let's go!
AAHH!
Nak nangis! Tapi tak nangis pun. Still tak nangis-nangis lagi, Alhamdulillah. Dia masih tabah.
YTK!! (Ya Tuhan Ku!), hari-harinya dipenuhi dengan kerja yang berlambak. Sampai makan boleh lupa, jarum jam ke mana pun tak sedar, tapi masih ingat untuk mandi, ya. Bila makan chocolate lima inci rasa macam nikmat semacam. Sungguh tak disangka boleh sampai begini.
Sebelum percutiannya yang sebenarnya takdalah sehebat mana, (Dua minggu tak ke mana, pergi tengok Jason Mraz kat London je, HO YEAH!) yang akan bermula pada awal April nanti, dia mempunyai sepuluh deadline.
Ya. Setelah mengira jumlah semua kerjanya, boleh dikatakan akan memberi hasil 10,000 patah perkataan dan beberapa ratus nombor. Harus dicatatkan dalam rekod personal. Lebih mendukacitakan, printernya yang besar gedabak itu pun boleh hilang! Menyesal tak tak pergi beli printer baru masa NY sale? Menyesal kan? Kan? KAN? Padan muka.
Mungkin kerjanya tidak sebanyak mana seperti kalian sangkakan tapi dalam lebih kurang tiga minggu ni, hidupnya akan begitu hectic!
Adakah anda sedar tentang penyalahgunaan ubat-ubatan di kaunter farmasi seperti ubat batuk dan ubat menurunkan berat badan? (Over the counter, OTC, "Legal but Lethal drugs")
Bagaimanakah anda hendak buktikan tiada perbezaan antara miu A dan miu B? Gunakanlah MINITAB.
Apakah langkah-langkah yang wajar sekiranya seorang remaja hendak membeli dadah dari anda dan memberi syarat agar tidak direkodkan? Pergi mampus sama dia. HAHA eh salah.
Apakah diagnosis anda daripada sampel yang diperhatikan dan ujian-ujian yang dijalankan?
Mata panda, confirm. Gunakanlah concealer!
Namun begitu, oleh kerana tiket untuk pulang ke Malaysia sudah dibayar (haih, habis £££.££), semangatnya kekal menggunung sambil mengingati yang tersayang, dalam dan luar mimpi (Short term goal). Apatah lagi kerana JLS* hendak datang temaninya pada Ahad ini (Shorter term goal).
Eh crap, wtf am I talking about la?
* Sila Google atau Youtube "JLS X-Factor" kalau hendak tahu.
Mainan Simulation di Minda
Sejak kebelakangan ini, saya sangat merindui awak.
Mungkin kerana stress hormon yang meningkat?
Saya tidak dapat melupakan nikmat di hati ketika berjumpa dengan awak.
Bagai pita video bermain berulangan di minda
Bagai program 'simulation' bermain di lidah
Bagai pendorong untuk mencari anda
Namun begitu, anda tidak mempunyai pengganti.
I miss you, KFC.
Occupied
Let's keep myself occupied with WORK!!
*Work refers to kerja sekolah, not work from a job ok. Takde masa den nak kerja kat sini*
Hustle hustle hustle

Vacation = Internship ??
**Two bloody papers down!!!! Wooohooooo!**
Ok calm.
I was screening through my Nemo email (my Uni calls it Nemo, noooo idea why).
Boots.. Boots.. Boots.. Survey.. SPIDER.. vacancy.. SPIDER.. SPIDER.. vacation.. Boots..
Wait. VACATION? What is thaaat? Why is it that I don't remember reading anything about vacation?
Ouuu Aaaahh Excited nyaaaa.
Dear Student,Within the NHS South Central (North) region, various hospitals will be offering vacational placements during the Summer of 2009. See attached poster for details of contacts if you are interested.Best wishes.
Cis bedebah kau.
Tempat jauh-jauh plak tu. Dekat Oxford, Milton, Buckinghamshire. Shite betul. Hrmmm.. Or maybe it could be a good one kan? Buat placement away from Scotland. See new places, new faces, same weather, bloody weather.
We'll see. Dah hantar email to NHS, not the one above. The one in Glasgow. Placement for 4 weeks only. Yeayyy, if I do dapat than bestnya. Placement sebulan, holi-holiday sebulan ( I want Venice, Milan, Pagheee ), pastu balik ol' Kajang sebulan for puasa and raya. Hell no am going to puasa here during summer. Nak buka puasa pukul 10?? Ganti for the whole month la nampak gayanya. Eh jahat gila plak.
Nonetheless, kalau dapat placement from Boots (ni bukan Boots from "These boots are made for walkin', that's just what they'll do" punya boots.) placement for 8 bloody bloody weeks. F********ck.
Anyhooooo, can't wait for summer! Now is sooooo depressing. Dahla memang depressed. Weather, you're not helping! Probably cause I couldn't care less bout you, so you couldn't care less bout me too. Heck you!
So apart from my complicated life that I put myself in, I'm trying to RELAX. By going to a SHORT internship, have my ass moving about in Venice, and go back and see my family. OMG, so excited already. Angan2 yer people. Dreams make you move. 2nd semester pun baru nak masuk, ada hati nak berangan.
Tira, let's take action!!! Not gonna get stepped on anymore.
Ayesha babe, you are my booster. Thanks babe.
**Let's get Physical, Physical**
Hell no lah, Physical Pharmacy next paper.
