a step forward.

Graduation @Sheraton Subang

Nothing beats pharmacy in IMU ok? Which pharmacy graduate graduates 3 times for their degree? haha! I can proudly say now, i am so sick of graduations! =.=
anyways, this was a little more exciting, in a way with the mortar and the tassel hanging around beside my big head..lol. there was more of a sense of completion. One square hat does make all the difference i guess! Well, this is finally the end. THE END! The of studying for an undergraduate degree in pharmacy..woohoo!

btw, theres another thing worth being excited for in this graduation. see the pink and red things prettily wrapped? haha! er, this is quite embarassing, but ok..lets be honest. this is the biggest bouquet of flowers i have ever recieved in my 23 years of my life! and its from my beloved parents!! weeee...thx mom n dad! and its got my fav african daisies in it! wehehehe!



ok.enough of graduation.

lets see, whats next?
i went for my interview yesterday, with the Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam (SPA). and my i thought i was late for the interview..thanks to road closures for the merdeka celebration in KL, i arrived there in the akwardly situated building *in-the-middle-of-no-where* (well, beside taman rama-rama? wow! how strategic that can be huh??) at 8.15am, when i was told to arrive at 8am. Guess what time was I called into the room? 1.15pm! 5 hours of waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if i knew this was going to happen, i wouldnt have woke up like 5am? just to get prepared for the traffic and all! grrrrrr..

well, interview was overall not that bad. they started off asking about expired medicines, wanting to know what I would do, as a professional if patients had expired medicines in their hands...so there i was eloborating and crapping as much as possible...blablabla..yada yada yada...
they sort of dint have any questions left to ask me..for u see..i was the 2nd last person to be interviewed that day, and furthermore, it was 1 sumtin in the afternoon, of course it was lunch time right? bet they were battling with their hungry stomachs in there! haha.

so there u go..they asked me a irrelevant question: 'In your opinion, why do you think the standard of sports today have deteriorated as compared to in the past in our country? why can't we achieved and create world-class athletes in the Malaysian society today?' wth..what has this got to do with pharmacy? as usual, thanks to my crapping ability, i was able to crack something out..haha! you dont wana know what i said..xD

then this guy in there was asking if i mind working in Sabah or Sarawak? of course not! 'Mengapa??' he asked. err..because its so far away from home.so isolated! and he replied,' so??'
errr....so...its sesat la! its so far away la uncle!! haha..of course i dint say that la.i just kept quiet and gave my best ever convincing smile! and he continued 'if no more place in peninsular malaysia dy, then how?' of course have to work there la..ur not giving me a choice what are u...ur like giving me a dead end, of course wherever you throw me to, ive to go lorr...aiseh..

neways, glad interview is over and done with!

Went to putrajaya today..had kinda tough time looking for the kompleks kerajaan..but im proud of myself!! weee..i did it all alone! goodie!!

ok..eyes droopy...brain shutting down.

zzz

price hike!

this is way too much.......

lets not talk about Scotland. This is Malaysia. Lets compare ringgit to ringgit.

cheapest bowl of noodles: RM3.80 (S), RM 4.30 (L)
my takoyaki!!!! RM4.30, used to be RM3.50 *ouch*
asam mango : RM2.50...used to be RM1 the most? RM2?
popiah: 1 piece RM1.80, used to be at most RM1.50?

and many many more....mostly everything has increased in price..
if i'll be earning in pound sterling, then i won't care.
BUT...im gona earn ringgit!?!

what is the value of money nowadays?
like peanuts!

keratosis pilaris

see that????............thats my leg! =(

its a condition that i've self-diagnosed it as something known as keratosis pilaris. As a pharmacist now, *officially* *hehe* i suspect that i'm having this rare, believed to be genetically inherited disease! yikes! mom n dad? own up..who of u has this? haha!

ok..according to wikipedia, and other related web searches, this is a totally harmless condition, also known as 'chicken skin' which more commonly affect women than men of young age. Symptoms usually diminish after the age of 30. *aiks, that means i have 7 more years to wait before i can have unblemish smooth Snow-White skin?? =.="*

this condition usually worsens in the winter when the atmosphere and air is dry, *ouch, useless Scottish weather! destroy my 'sexy' legs* xD AND...worse of all!!!!!!!!!!!! there is no specific treatment for this skin condition, UNFORTUNATELY! many random treatments have been tried and tested, yet there has been no absolute success in any! how sad....

Treatment suggestions: use of an exfoliator, luffa, vaseline..or if in desperate times : treat yourself with a corticosteroid???? whatde.........

I totally need any advice or help..if possible, any professional advice anybody?haha!
help..my legs are screamingggggggggggg for helpppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!anybody??

xD

updates.

im back home! yes..exactly.finally.im home to where i belong. good 'ol malaysia!
its been a week since i got back.
things have changed. i dont know whether its for the better or worse though. =.=

shifted to a new hse in puchong, which is darn far...its not any nearby tesco or giant or IOI mall, its way beyond that, lets just say its nearing putrajaya?!?! totally undeveloped area. just a few shophouses surviving. imagine if u do not own a car?? like me! miserably miserable!

ive got to start working soon, if not i'll be officially bankrupt! haha. and thinking that everything in malaysia would be dirt cheap compared to UK, my mind was all set to divide all the prices in RM by 7. Surprisingly, it did not work this way in reality. I went to Sunway Pyramid 2 the next day after i got back, and i realised that stuff here is way more expensive than that in UK. I guess i'm equating ringgit to pounds! imagine a baby-T which cost RM69 = 69 pounds! hahaha! well oh well, i just dont know why, but i feel more comfortable in UK than in my own countryland. Gosh, i'm missing Glasgow alrdy. how am i gona survive this?

thankfully, malaysian food came to my rescue. knowing that im a total sucker for any malaysian food, i went straight to the mamak on the night i touched down KLIA. roti telur bawang and teh olimau ais was my first meal in malaysia. fantastic! haha xD of course, i went hunting around for all i wanted to eat on the following day, and on the subsequent days after that. in summary, ive eaten lots of yummy food, but theres still alot more that im yet to taste! haha...ive had pan mee, char kuey teow, chee cheong fun, nasi lemak, asam laksa, my nyonya kuih, popiah, loklok, ais kacang, all my fruits!!! especially with the fruit season around with all the mangosteens, duku langsat, and rambutans flooding the pasar malams and the pasar pagi! hahahaha.....ive eaten dozens of it now.

upcoming eating plans? haha...of course my ikan bakar, hakka mee, wan tan mee, fried lo bak koh, dim sum, pork noodles, mamak maggi mee goreng, hokkien mee, wat tan hor, what else? hmm...lots and lots more of course! wait till i post all the drooling pics up! hahaha..

look out for it!

i am back!

wah..rotting again my blog..been lazing around, ignoring to blog, although theres nothing else to do...gosh everythings rotting, my blog, my brain...everything! guess have to start working soon, if not really everything will kulat dy, and nobody would want to employ such a 'qualified' pharmacist! ahem! xD

today is the 23rd, am goin back on the 30th, maths please? haha..7 more days!!!! woohoo..1 more week..and off i go flying back to my malaysian food!! wah! 1 week!!!! i just cant believe it, time flies! i remember marking off in the calendar as the months passed by, yet, it seemed like it was never gonna end..all the classes, exams, then assignments, then exams again..and more exams! ahhh..my 'kon lou' pan mee!!! wahh...i miss u so much!!! so so so much! am gona just feast on my mamak and 'loklok' when i touch down at KLIA before midnight on the 31st, and den am gona feast on my pan mee for brkfast the next morning, and eat as much hawker food as my stomach capacity can take for the rest of the day! not to mention my juicy, succulent malaysian fruits, guava and sour mango with lotslotslots of assam! fuiyoh!! keng!!

ok..enough of mouth-watering blogging! haha..am gonna miss glasgow as well, of course! and its definitely gonna be a sad thing that im gona end my journey here. its been a great year studying here in Glasgow, ive learnt so many things, understood the important lessons in life, learnt how to be a better person in the future (hopefully) *fingers crossed* ! life has just been great over here. im really gonna miss every single bit of my life here, and dont want it to end so quickly honestly. but every beginning has an ending, guess this memorable journey will definitely make a significant mark in my life and it will surely be remembered!
