I am here, finally here, started working 'officially' as a pharmacist in a really NICE, relatively NEW government hospital! trust me...theres nothing much more u can ask for when u step in this hospital! So what if it has a complicated name; Hospital Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah! HoSHAS is what ppl call it around here, coz its just too much for a hospital name! haha!
alrite..hows life around here?
Life's good! I'm just totally blessed.Iive got a place to stay the minute i stepped in temerloh grounds, on the very 1st day. Am currently stayin now in the Hospital quarters, which is merely a 5min walk away from the hospital. I know the word 'quarters' sounds a little, erm...kampung-ish? runned down? yeah, i know thats just totally not the right word to use! hmm...Wait till i get some pics of this apartment! Hehehe...U guys will b so so shocked! Basically, my wonderful housemate, a pediatrician, was offered this unit to stay in, but shes got like an extra room vacant for now, so i'm sharing a room with another of my buddy, from IMU as well..It's good in that way, removes some of the 'lonely periods' while im here i guess. haha!
Whats in Temerloh? ok, for u guys who still have no idea where temerloh is, *I never knew temerloh was in pahang ok before i got offered here, it sounded to me like it was in Perak or something* kakaka! ok,its in the state of Pahang! hehehe! For shopaholics, this is not a place for u...coz there's no shopping malls, megamalls and whatsoever..The only shopping that u can get its perhaps grocery shopping, with small supermarkets popping up in the middle of shoplots. Well, not really a problem for me actually, since i work from 8am-5pm everyday, and i go back to KL like every weekend..so life still moves on, well..at least for the weekends! hehe! ..its not all bad orite..
We met up with some really nice buddies, who always offer to drive us around, and pay for our meals! hahaha! told u, i'm just totally blessed! gosh, u know who u are..thanks guys! We are not starving here ok!!! mommy daddy! I'm eating very VERY well here! We have like 5-8 course dinner almost every nite! and we have fantastic lunches as well, if time permits us to go out for lunch! *esp on fridays..hehehe..TGIF* other days, we just stick to the cafeteria in the hospital, where i'll just stuff myself with some rice (which is just not nice at all, and expensive at the same time) =.=' or some bun or some kuih for lunch..
I'm not exactly a qualified pharmacist yet right now, i've got a special title..hehe..'provisionally registered pharmacist' in short, PRP..so basically, we are sent to every department in the hospital, just to make sure we know our stuff at our fingertips, so that when we are out from this government service after 4 years, and we're on our own, we wont be blur about anything, like how i'm exactly feeling right now at work! haha! So, I'm at my 2nd dept right now, I was in DIS ( Drug Info Service) for 2 weeks, dont ask me what i do there. We're suppose to answer any queries about medicines thru telephone calls that we received..but fortunately, or unfortunately..h.ahaha...not much ppl will call / use this service..so...hahaha! i dont do much of a thing there..
Well, today was my 1st day at FKP (farmasi klinik pakar) ...its like the outpatient dept generally, I sat behind the counters, packing medicines, checking prescriptions, calling doctors when there are any query in the prescriptions, and also taking care of the DD (dangerous drugs) which are really exclusive, coz there are like about 10 of them ONLY, all stored in a cupboard in a room, its like i'm appointed to keep track of the movement of these medicines, and if i lose even 1 DD tab, im basically dead meat la..So, yea..theres basically it..I'm gonna b here for quite some time i guess, so like it or not,haha..im gona be stuck here la..I foresee that I've gota learn lots of things from scratch again..oh well....life of a pharmacist! =.='
orite...as a working woman, my sleeping time now is officially at 11pm.
haha..awfully no life! i know..

i'm leaving...on a jet plane..
hhaha..not really a jet plane though, just a car...although i loveee that song!
goshhh..so many questions running thru my mind now..
is there gonna be any internet connection over there? ok, since im staying in a friends place for the time being, perhaps no internet, but lets hope this be a temporary thing only..i'll make sure i get a house with some internet line provided!
is temerloh a town consisting of two streets only? GONE..my shopping..my mamak..my good food...where am i gona get my nyonya kuih, my 'har ko' chee cheong fun, my roti telur bawang?
okla, they may have mamak there..may..
is there STAR newspaper there? haha...im a daily newspaper reader ok? what am i going to do in that isolated town man? other than read newspaper!
although this is not the 1st time im leaving home, things will definitely be different than before. Its not gonna be like life in Glasgow..although I dont have a car there, things are accesible by sitting 'bus no.11' (I learn this from a lame friend; bus no.11= walking with ur two legs! wth!)
imagine u walking by the road in the horribly HOT weather with MAX UV race! and every 100 metres, there'll be this i***ts whistling at u or screaming some s**t at u! crazy sex maniacs!
gosh...am i gonna survive this?
*a moment of silence*
YES i can get through this!
haha
i might not be blogging again till i settle down!
have a good day every one! and sayonara for now!

temerloh here i come!
alrite..i'm back home again, settled down, got enough sleep, and back to blogging!
ive been working at this retail pharmacy outlet in subang. just when im about to feel comfortable there, the letter comes and tell me im gona be sent to PAHANG! though its been just a short while there, i've experienced lots of funny and not so funny stuff as well..haha..let me share with u some of the scenarios that i can remember..
..old man comes in and buys condoms, tries to hide it, and stares at you like you've done something wrong when u try to offer him some help! kaka
..woman comes in and says that she does not know why her mences aint coming, she might either be pregnant or menapousing, coz the symptoms for both are the same..=.='
..i was trying to learn how to prick the guys finger to test for blood glucose levels..he sort of freaked out and screamed asking the boss to help out, coz i was alrdy freaking out myself, since its my 1st time doing that..and my boss tells me that i've been too gentle, ive to squeeze that guys finger harder so that more blood oozes out! yucks!
..this guy comes in with blood pressure of 190/115...and still Smiles and thinks that hes all normal, when the ideal reading should be around 120/80!! crazy ppl, his blood vessels may explode anytime man!
generally, its been a great experience working there, at least it helped to removed some of the rust in my brain, knowing now that in less than a weeks time, ive to leave for temerloh, pahang to work in the hospital for at least a year! that means leaving home again....removing all my stuff from the cupboard again into the miserable suitcase.....arghhh...hate shifting, hate moving around!
well, hope everything goes well then for me..its gona be a whole new experience again!
to all my mates who r gona start working on 3rd nov,all the best to u guys n gals!
p/s: im gona leave on sunday, gona report in kuantan on monday morning, before i shift myself to temerloh..

P.S I love you
heya..
i just got bck from Station ONE Cafe in Taipan, USJ. kinda cool place, with live music and all..ahha..
orite..i am done reading P.S I Love You by Cecilia Ahern. Comments?
Ok..I am no avid story book reader whatsoever, but I have read a couple of books in the past, and did not finish many coz it was just not good enough, in whatever sense that means, to make me 'addicted' and 'stuck' to it. Somehow, this book is one of the few books that made me addicted some way. When u finish one chapter, u wanna continue reading the next chapter and so fourth, and before u know it, the whole afternoon is gone, and ur done with half of the book or something like that.
ok. cut the crap.
so, synopsis? Is just a simple story revolving around this lady, Holly who has recently lost her husband, Gerry who died from a brain tumour. Life was sucky for her after his death. She was all messed up, no longer herself, just couldn't accept the fact that he died. Knowing this, he left her like 10 letters, one for each month, each containing a list of things that she should do after his death, coz he knew beforehand that she would not be able to cope with his death. Kinda like the '10 Commandments' in the Bible. So, there she goes....opening each letter at the 1st day of every month. At the end of each letter, he writes, 'P.S. I love you'. So, there u go...she dreadfully goes thru the things that she would never ever do, if her late husband did not 'order' her to, from cleaning his wardrobe, finding a job right up till forgetting him and find a new true love. What i don't like is the ending...so dumb. A true love comes about, a guy named Daniel...and she just rejects him, coz she cant forget her late husband, who is like alrdy dead!!! Lady...move on man!!! ahahaha...see...so emo man this story..lols.
haha..but overall, i enjoyed reading it! and now i need to read a new book...Recommendations anyone?
zzzzzz

FINE! knowing how government services work, slow and steady konon, i patiently waited, kept on trying and redailing the number.
finally, when i got through, this guy tells me that he can't tell me where i'll be posted to just yet, because things are not confirmed yet, and that all info about posting told to the rest of my friends are all bullshit, things might changed, and blablabla...
what the hell are they doing taking so darn long just to place us? i had my interview on the 27th August. whats the date today man! and he says tentatively i'll only start working in november.blardy pissed...im so not gona bother about working with them anymore, am just gona start seeing which pharmacy wants me, am gona start working by october on my own. if the letter comes, i'll work with them. if it doesnt, thats just too bad..
