1st sleet in GLASGOW!

well, though its not snow, its frozen raindrops!!! wee!!!!! ^^

missing home..

or rather missing my piano more precisely..

well...its been awhile since i posted anything here..updates?

-done and finished with the hospital case presentation..ahh.that was a relief!

-finally, handed up the 1st intro draft of my research project...now thats a 2nd relief!

-now for the finale..EXAMS! thats such a BIG word..yikes! the worst has to be the last! got a paper on the 17th..thats 7 days away..n just manage to flip through a few pages till now..is it just me? or why does 1 page seemed so long? it feels like every page is a never ending page! n i've got 4 never ending chapters to cover..in 7 days! that means i've got 7 more miserable days to bear! before HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!! ok..lets push that aside..

-as a future pharmacist, i dont even know what im suffering from! ive been having episodes of extreme fullness after meals, a feeling like i-wana-puke after meals, the word is BLOATED i guess..and stomach feels funny..ive been having this recurrent pains as well..which feels like gastric! gosh..am i goin physcologically nuts? or is it really some medical problem im having that needs some serious medical attention? im just gona bear with this till at least the 17th..arghh..what has Glasgow made me into man!

-i seriously, honestly, desperately need a piano RIGHT NOW!!!! im missing it soooo much, i cant even bear to look at my notes anymore! home oh home..dad, mum..can u please cargo my piano over, like pos laju or something? =.=

ok..to treat myself..im having my comfort food now..MAGGI MEE!! to make sure i reach my comfort zone before i start mugging all those neverending words later..although maggi mee cant replace my need for piano, at least it can satisfy my stomach!!!! wee...maggi mee..muah!

'A friend in need is a friend indeed'..

Research Project-effects of stress on Alicia's lifestyles.

The aim of this study is to analyse the effects of the research project on my daily lifestyle!

arghhh.. get me a life somebody! helpppppp.....



The results of the study:

1) have discovered yet another white hair growing..multiplying..=/

2) a daily zombie surviving on 2 cups of coffee, bd administration :once in the morning, and once at night

3) eats a minimum of 3 apples a day-comfort food

4) gets a max of 5 hours sleep;

5) spends an average of 2.5 hours of meal times per day;

6) spends on average 16.5 hours (24 - 5 - 2.5) in her room trying to get work done (unfortunately..look what shes doing now?...)

7) concluded she needs to read more..coz she discovered that her English proficiency sucks!


Discussion:
if only i knew how to tackle things in a more calm, relaxed manner..without having to drink a drop of coffee, with adequate sleep (>8 hours), with nice BLACK hair, and without having to blog about this!


Conclusion:
no solution found.Back to work!

Finally by Fergie

*love this song to bits*

MMMMMMMMMM
Ever since I was a baby girl I had a dream

Cinderella theme

Crazy as it seems
Always knew that deep inside that there would come a day
When I would have to way
Make so many mistakes
I could'nt comprehend
As I watched it unfold
This classic story told I left it in the cold
Walking through an open door that led me back to you
Each one unlocking more of the truth
I finally stopped tripping on my youth

I finally got lost inside of youI finally know that I needed to grow
And finally my maze has been solved

[chorus]
Finally
Now my destiny can begin
Though it will have a different set
Something strange and new is happening
Finally
Now my life doesn't seem so bad
Its the best that I've ever hadGive my love to him finally
MMMMMMMM


I remember the beggining you already knew
I acted like a foolJust trying to be cool
Fronting like it didn't matter
I just ran away
On another face
Was lost in my own space
Found what its like to hurt selfishly
Scared to give of me
Afraid to just believeI was in a jealous, insecure, pathetic place
Stumbled through the nets that I have made
Finally got out of my own way

I've Finally started living for today
I finally know that I needed to grow
And finally know that

[chorus]
Finally
Now my destiny can begin
Though we will have a different set
Something strange and new is happening
Finally
Now my life doesn't seem so bad
Its the best that I've ever had
Gave my love to him
Finally
MMMMMMMM


Finally, Finally Finally

Now my destiny can begin
Though it will have a different set
Something beautiful is happening, happening
Finally
Now my life doesn't seem so bad
Give my love to him finally
Ohhhhhhh,


Finally, Finally, finally

FoOoOoD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Infected.

It all started on Monday..my throat was sore.my head was throbbing.

Tuesday came, head was still throbbing, started coughing with phlegm...(productive cough.that is what we learn >.<) Wednesday, phlegm was GREEN..started to lose my voice..

Thursday, almost non-functional physically and emotionally..FINALLY..made a decision to see a GP.coz antibiotics was needed perhaps..Erythromycin prescribed..

Friday, showed slight improvements, though voice was still 'froggy'. At night, pus-like liquid started coming out from me eyes..making it red n sticky..how gross is that! lost one side of my hearing..how sick was i man!

Saturday, woke up at 6am..no improvement in condition..Decided to see a GP. called NHS 24. Was directed to Stobhill Hospital in Springburn, north of Glasgow *ISOLATED area with 'FRIENDLY' aka LOUSY doctors!!!!*


doc: so how can i help u today?
me: oh..ive got some redness n pus coming out from my eyes.lost one side of hearing.having a sore throat currently.
doc: icic.ok.let me check ur temperature..n throat..*checking* so, ur a student?
me: yes
doc: where are u from?
me: Malaysia.
doc: ooo..Malaysia..Ive been there before..like 20 yrs ago..whats that place called? Johor Bahru isit? and..erm Butterworth?
me: erm, yea.
doc: oh..n Penang isit? I remember there was only one skyscraper at that time..n blablabla..(about 5-10 mins chitchating about malaysia)
*doc's hp rings..when theres a sign saying 'ALL MOBILES PHONES TO BE SWTICHED OFF AT ALL TIMES IN THE HOSPITAL PREMISES'

doc:Hello
docs wife (named Lisa): Hie darling..what u wana have for dinner tonite? steak? beef?
doc: anything dear
Lisa: come on..quickly tell me..
doc: I've got a patient with me right now.Oh well, beef would be perfect.
Lisa: bye dear..

doc: so where were we? oh..i remembered this place called Malacca as well? That place is really nice..lots of colonial buildings n blablablabla
me: *looking bored n annoyed* *keeping a minimum conversation*.YES.
doc: *realises he was distracted n out of topic*..*back to position*...so...u say ur eyes are sticky? well.let me check them again..and ur throat again..Ill just prescribed u some antibiotics for it.
me: ok.thx. bye. *blood boiling*

conclusion, GP dint helped much..pharmacist is as good as a GP..The only thing we lack in is the power to write prescriptions..Condition still the same..

Current condition:
throat-badly infected by some bacteria..
eye-bacterial conjunctivitis
ear-otitis media

lets hope things will get better tomorrow.

7%

Just got this from my email box. Very inspiring to me!

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, "Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like."The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in.In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water. The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful. But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering .

The Lord said, "You have seen Hell."

They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking.

The holy man said, "I don't understand."

"It is simple," said the Lord "It requires but one skill. You see they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves."When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of you. It's estimated 93% won't forward this. If you are one of the 7% who will, forward this with the title 7% . I'm in the 7% .

To all my friends, remember that I will always share my spoon with you. :P

a night to remember...

It was a Thursday. What can be worse than a whole long line of lectures throughout the day? Fourtunately, there was CEILIDH (Scottish traditional dance) to complete my day! it was truly a Scottish night.

The night started off with a Scottish dinner; being served with haggis (sheep internal organs), neeps (turnips) and tatties (mash potato). It was not the best dinner I've ever had, but I'm still glad bcoz u can never get to try these stuff back home! no regrets! hehe.

Then, the atmosphere of the room was filled with a 20 minute display of Scottish music, performed by the OTC pipe band. These guys are real good although i've to admit that the music was quite monotonous, and i could not differentiate between them all..Well, every music has its own beauty i guess!

The night went on with the start of the Ceilidh band filling the room with Ceilidh music. This genre of music is one of its kind! Its unique as there is only an accordian and violin accompanied by a keyboard, composing together a fun-filled happy-going music which lasted throughout the night. Its what i feel a combination of jive, foxrot, and even some waltz! believe that! haha! We were taught the different dances, involving very energetic moves, yet still easy and fun to dance with! It was truly a night to be remembered!



cheers!
