July, a new beginning

It's been ages since i last blog, 7 months plus to be exact. What a pity that i just leave this blog unattended, did not do any update at all. I just simply visit it everyday just for to the sack of whether there is any update at my fren's blog. haha. What a shame.

Anyway, I have been working for 7 months plus already. Time really flies. Get to know some nice eatery in KK, some which i wont never ever visit again, some nice places with great deal and so on.

All thanks to groupon, I manage to feast some of the nice restaurant/cafe which i will not think twice of entering them due to the high price item or unknown to us.

Well, since the start of PRP (provisionally registered pharmacist), I have finish already my Clinical, IPP, TPN, Store and halfway thru TDM. I really learn a great deal of stuffs when I was in this hospital (Hospital Queen Elizabeth a.k.a. HQE). Am really grateful that I manage to get a spot in HQE. It's not easy being able to enter the reference hospital in sabah, which somemore located at KK.

There are always ups and downs in our daily life, either during work or after work. Life wont be as interesting as it is without the friends around me now. Stress is unavoidable. Joy and laughter come by here and then.

Here is a story. It sounded like this. "One of the cream in hospital is out of stock due to unavailability of the plastic container. Most of the patients that i met who were prescribed with this cream gladly accept the 'Nil-in-stock' reason. Some are unhappy or disappointed with it. One or two say will get it outside since very easy to get. There is one particular patient who come to the OPD, give to the Rx to me and I kindly told this person that this cream is out of stock d. He answered back loudly 'Saya datang dari jauh tengok doktor. Tunggu beberapa jam baru boleh dapat jumpa doktor. Sekarang kamu beritahu saya ubat ini tak ada stok. Saya ini sangat marah oh. Saya tak kisah. Saya mesti dapatkan ubat it' Because of this, my face turn dark d and go up to the satelite pharmacy and get one container for him. I end up just sitting behind the dispensing counter and did not dispense the medicine to the patient. Just imagine this lah. The patient do have the right to be angry. But did they scold the doctor when they waiting for a few hours just to see them? The answer is No. When the patients wait for 30 mins while waiting for the medicine, they already start to talk loudly, scold here and there.This is the reality. Doctors are always the best in their mind while pharmacists and nurses are just second class. When the specialist decided to discharged a patient in the morning, the houseman can take a very long time to just complete the paperwork. Some even waiting till late evening just for the discharged letter. While for pharmacist, we do discharge couselling, supplying meds to the patient.

Here is another story. Some of the patients will be grateful to us, the pharmacist cause being able to help them, some even shake my hand. When I was taking a patient medication history, it took me nearly about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours. Just because of the patient like to tell story, bout how he/she was a hospital staffs and knew all bout the medication, how the specialist told her to took hypertension meds during normal day and during hemodialysis day. It's quite interesting to listen story from all walk of life. There is also another patient that was admitted to the ward, who work as a government servant, attended the big rally in KL for 2 times d. He/she also said that she manage to took video of the happening during this yr but did not manage to uploaded due to falling ill when come back to sabah. 

It's true that some patients do not feel at ease when talk to the doctor, so they end up talking to the other patients or to the pharmacist who are taking medication history or doing counselling.

There are 5 more stations for me to complete in another 4 months plus, which are TDM, DIC, CDR, OPD and manufacturing. If everything goes smoothly, I will finish everything by the 1st week of Nov. Not to mention, I also passed my Forensic Exam which i sat in March earlier this year.

On the other note, I have joined Nuffnang for quite some times d. Gained lots of benefits and gifts from it, being able to participate in various events, visiting various clubs and locations where those events took place, being able to join competitions and won myself some prices, as well as being able to join in the movie premier. That was the life I had when I was in KL last few years ago. Now, while working, I still do able to enjoy movies, but not able to join many events and movie screening which took part in KL practically every time. I really do hope that Nuffnang will be able to organise some events in various part of Malaysia. Earning wise, it is very little if compare to what I m earning now. Haha. But the happy thing is that, I still get an average of about 20 visitors per day when i do not update my blog. Haha.

Besides that, I also shifted to a new place here in KK, which is more serene and peaceful, not as hot as the previous one. Facility wise, the current place is the best so far. The down part is that it does not have any internet connection, yet. Going to apply for it soon.

Last but not least, I'm still single and available. Haha. Got any one to intro to me? Haha

Take care and have a nice day.

Working Life

In 1 week time, I going to enter a new phase of life by entering the working life, as a working adult, contributing to the community.

A lot of my friends ask me where am I posted to. Well, the answer is Sabah but I do not know which hospital I being placed at as I will only know when I go report for duty at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

It has been a really long endless holiday, half a year to be exact, from 13rd of May which is the end of my final exam up till 18th Nov where I will report for duty. All thanks to the government speed in processing the document and our posting. The reasons? Freezing period by the JPA as wells as reasons that are hard to explain to us by the department in charged.

Anyway, since it has been a very very long holiday, I wonder how long will it take for me to get into my working mood, shifting my gear to full throttle. Definitely wont be 1 day. I guess maybe few days to weeks. Not to mention, need to adapt to the new environment over at sabah, the culture, the society, the people as well as the food. Hopefully when I receive my monthly salary, I will be able to save some for my future use. 

I will be leaving Kuching on the 17th of Nov and I have yet to pack my stuffs. Not really sure what to bring and how much stuffs to bring. Not to mention, need to meet a few people before leaving Kuching. Sadly, I wont be able to meet few friends of mine who are coming back to Kuching for their term break as well as those who are coming to Kuching for the first time for holiday.

Most of my coursemates have already reported for duty on the 10th of Nov which is the 1st day of the reporting period. All the best to all my coursemates in their new hospital, doing there jobs and adapting to the new environment. I for one, do not know when will I have the chance to see each others again. Not to mention, my batchmates who are already serving the government which I also not sure when will we meet again.

Few more days left in Kuching and I do not know what to do with it. hehe.

Post-graduation

What have I done for the past 1 month after my final exam? Sorry if I did not update my blog often due to my laziness. Haha. Anyway, I will give a brief stories on what I have been doing after my final exam. My final exam finish on the 13th of May.

On the next day, 14th of May, after the last day of final exam, my uni pharmacy association organized a Gala Night cum Oath Taking Ceremony. Gala Night is for farewell for all the final year pharmacy students as well as gathering with all other year pharmacy students whereby everyone dress up nicely and fancily. While for oath taking ceremony, all the pharmacy students are required to take their pharmacist's oath before they enter into the working world, some do it in 1st year while some do it at the 4th year. The event was great, being a participant myself compare with last time whereby I were one of committee for Pharmacy Night. A lot of pictures were taken on that night, and I even took some pictures with some of the pretty girls in pharmacy. Hehe. 

Gala Night cum Oath Taking Ceremony

Me with pretty girls

A summary of the event

Then on next day (15th May), a group of my friends went to A Famosa to overnight. Travel there was ok, having steamboat as dinner, crazy surprise birthday celebration by the pool and crazy ppl at the pool. haha.

On the next day (16th May), after packing, we all drop by at Malacca for a short trip before going back to KL. I even got the chance to try out the famous  crepe cake or layer cake.

On that night itself, I was a bit rushing to watch Pirates of Caribbean 4 at Mid Valley. When I reach MV, it was already 7plus, and decided to go to Kim Gary for dinner while waiting for the movie screening.

The movie screening was in 3D and the security was strict, not allowing anybody to bring any electronic devices into the hall, including handphone. When I was collecting my movie ticket, I was presented with an envelope and the lady was congratulating me for winning the contest. I myself was quite shock to find out that I were among the 5 who won 3 nail polishers from OPI. After receiving the present, I was quite happy myself. However, since I not using them, I gave them to the 2 pretty ladies. Hope they will like them as it was not cheap. RM 59 each.

On 18th of May, it was my time to pack all my stuffs and leave KL. Packing was not easy as need to send all the stuffs back to Kuching. Luckily my luggage was not overweight, if not, I need to pay RM 30 per KG.

On 20th of May, I traveled to Kota Kinabalu for sight seeing. I have uploaded my KK trip pictures at my facebook there. You can go there and take a look. The feeling of waiting for released of exam results really is nervous. Imagine knew that results have already been released on monday afternoon, about 3pm, 1 day earlier. However, only Yr 4 could not check their results as they have not been released. Waiting for the result out really is not easy. Hoping for a pass in all the subjects and being able to graduate after 1 year of extension. As a promise to Dickson and Jee Yang, we go to starbucks for a drink, on my treat and since then, I kinda like their chocolate cream chips. Nice, sweet and chocolatey. hehe.

I will definitely be back again to KK for island hoping and visit other places in KK and who know, I might even dare to climb Mt Kinabalu.

Again, I'm back to Kuching on 24th May until now. Practically doing nothing at home, watching movie, drama, anime and play game. Waiting for the convo invitation letter was tiring as well, but that has been done few days ago. Now waiting to go back to KL on 27th of June for convo which falls on 2nd of July. Another tiring day and lots of photo shooting. Hope that my 2 weeks trip to KL will be a fruitful one.

Since I have completed my studies, now I'm waiting for offer letter my SPA and also posting letter my KKM. Hopefully I will get Kuching for my posting. Sabah is nice also since can travel here and there, just like Mr Wong. Haha. Not to mention, I also will able to earn extra more. Hope for the best in it. Posted back to Kuching also nice. However, being a pharmacist is not easy since it will be very busy, especially the 1st yr of being a PRP.

Exam coming soon

Here is an quick update. Class have ended since last friday and today is the first day of 1 week study breaks.

 Group pic with 1 of clerkship preceptor

Already done my SPA interview at SPA office, Putrajaya. 1st person to be interview on day 1 by 1 interviewer. What a day.

Group photo of 1st group of ppl being interviewed.

This is the start of study break, which means i only have 6 more days before my 1st paper on monday which is clinical clerkship, follow by pharmacotherapy 2 on the next paper on thursday.

First day of study week, i spent about 9 hours in the library. what a day. really tiring indeed.

All the best to all my fellow friends who are having exam now and coming soon. Good luck.

CNY 2011

I know that this is kinda an outdated post since CNY has past for almost 1 month d. How time flies. Time really wait for no one. hehe.

Anyway, CNY for this yr is kinda short compare with last yr and do not really have much CNY mood. Most probably because almost everyone start work and start class on 7th of Feb (Chu 5). hehe. I din play some mahjong with the same ppl every year, din gamble, din drink. haha.

Ang pao wise, bout the same every year. hehe

Our group picture at the KBS house. haha

When I'm back to KL, i followed my friends to Tian Hou Gong.

I even go to ask for a 签, pray to 月老and 财神. The 签 is quite ok, just need to work hard in order to get wat i want. hehe.

Last weekend (26 and 27 Feb), i went up to Genting and overnight there alone. Haha.

What an experience and I din not meet with any friendly ghost. Really got nothing much to do there if no go to theme park or casino. I was practically tired because of lots of walking to explore the place, less time to enjoy the cool breeze there. I also manage to try the durian cendol and it was a disappointment. sad.

Yesterday, 1st of March, me and my friends go to Jogoya for our buffet lunch. Very full. but food is just so so loh. nothing special also. hehe

After the buffet, i dropped by at Fahrenheit KL for the book fair and bought myself this.

Practically, it took me bout less than 1 hour to finish it. haha. It is just a small and compact book.

I have done so much in 1 month time and another 1 month plus and i will sit for my final exam d and I have not really study much up till now. Need to really work hard already. This yr convocation is set on 2nd and 3rd of July. Means i got only 1 chance only if wanna attend this yr convo. All the best to me and my coursemates.

December 2010 update

It has been quite some times since I update my blog. Main reason, final exam just finish about 1 month ago. For tat 1 months plus of preparing final exam and also siting the final exam, i barely have time to update this blog, or rather lazy. Haha. If back-dated more, I was busy with my clerkship, going to Hospital KL and it was really tiring after reach home. Not to mention, miss out a lot of Nuffnang activities and events. Really miss those day. Plus without transportation, really is troublesome to get back from a distance location, inaccessible by public transport. Even there is public transport, when the activities finish, it usually finish about 11 pm. haha

So now, here I'm, sitting at my home in Kuching, practically doing nothing. With 3 weeks of holidays already pass and another 3 weeks to go, not much have I achieved besides online, watch drama, movie, gaming and eat. Haha. Not to mention, hitting mosquito, with average of 5 per days. haha.

Another half a year and i will be graduating my Bachelor of Pharmacy with Honours. Not an easy course programme and really is a time consuming one as well. Need to sacrifice a lot of time and energy in attending the classes, labs, practicals, attachment and clerkship, as well as preparing for exams. Not to mention, knowing lots of people also. Hopefully will be able to graduate and work in a good hospital. 

Brief update

Sorry people for not updating this blog for very long time already.

Well, class has ended. finish all my report and now gonna prepare for final exam. Pharmacy clerkship was fun except for TDM clerkship where you really need to think and filled your mind with pharmacokinetic stuffs and using pharmacokinetic words. Haha. Really stress when preparing the clerkship report.

My final exam start on 1st of November 2010, follow by 8/11, then 10/11, then 12/11 and finally 16/11. then 2nd week will be a hectic week since it consist of 3 papers in 1 week.

Currently I have 2 weeks of study break and today already is the 2nd day. Time really fly and time really wait for now wait. Need to work hard and cannot always play already. Lucky to find a good study place in library. Really quiet and the temperature not tat really cold even sit under the air cond. Hehe. My dear pharmers, you can join me if wan to but dont distract me.

All the best to everyone who are currently in their final exam mode or going to be in final exam mode soon. Gambateh

Time of Essence

Time, for me is very important since I'm very particular about time one. For others, some might think that time could be bend as ones like it. 

How to see if a person is very time concern? 

• Punctuality 
• Wear watch to check the time from time to time
• Usually will arrive earlier than the time fixed even though need to wait for about 5 to 20 min

These are just some basic things you can look at to check you yourself or your friends if he/she is/are time concern. For me, I really have these kind of syndromes. No kidding. If I say to my friend that I will pick him/her up at 8.30 pm, I usually will arrive earlier one. Thats is me. 

Being a time concern people, I have the habit of doing things last minute, study last minute. haha. Weird. Thats is humanity. No one is perfect. Sometimes you also need to accept the fact that some people do like to reach at location on time or bit late since he/she will think that the other person will be slightly late a bit. Tolerance is the key of success.

Times really do fly. With a blink of an eye, an accident occur or you could be safe from serious injuries because you are slower. I have already been here in KL for four years. Times really flies. Not to mention, time wait for no one. Without you doing anything, time will continue move on without waiting for you. There is no pause in the system, no waiting or stopping. 

I could not really remember what had been during primary school, not to mention secondary school. I could only remember some bits of them, some happy, some sad, some memorable. Without knowing it, I almost reach 25 years old in another half more year. Time really flies. 

As a conclusion, time really is important in our life. There is no extra time for special people. All having the same 24-hrs per day. Remember to use your time properly and not waste them. Greed you day with smiles and you will feel happier by the end of the day, knowing that you have used your time properly and efficiently.

Lucky Me

Since April until June, I can say that I have gotten pretty lucky myself, winning some nice prizes and gifts.

1st of all is during PC Fair. Din not expect to get 2 free tickets to watch Video Games Live besides getting the wireless mouse and cooling pad.

Earn myself a way into the Malaysia Book of Records and at the same time, got myself some goodies from Gatsby. Details can visit here.

Next is I was told that I won myself 1 service voucher from Asterspring when I join the tweet competition, organized by powerruum. Late on, I won another voucher but could not use it because I was away at Kuching.

I also received my Snax card from KFC. The new membership programme from KFC, known as Snax. Kinda disappointed with the free gift. Old necklace from X-men 3 merchandise. 

During beginning of May, the landlord and landlady decided to go to China for vacation for 1 month. So, I took the opportunity to use the plasma TV, connected to my laptop, watching video. haha. A nice experience indeed and I learnt how to use the 'extend display' function.

Project Alpha Instant Cash Blogging really make me happy. I got myself 10 out of 21 topics. Not bad. Not to mention, I also win the Project Alpha Daily Contest. Not 1 but 3 out of 50 days. A nice try indeed.

I also won myself a CD by John Mayer: Battle Studies from musicruum.

The most important one is that I have finally received my cheque after 1 year of waiting. My 3rd cheque from Nuffnang. Thanks to everyone out there who visit my blog even though I din not update often. A really big amount indeed for a student like me. Gonna save it for future use.

Finally, I would like to say thanks to Nuffnang for the wonderful event and movie screening, ruumz for the wonderful prizes and most important is my fellow readers who drop by. Thanks again for the support.

Holidays

Sorry guys and girls for not updating my blog.

My final exam start on 26th of April 2010 and finish on 26 of April 2010. Why only 1 day? Well for some of you that already known it or have not know it, I'm retaking only 1 subject last semester and 26 of April 2010 is the 1st day of exam for pharmacy students in UCSI university. So, basically I have 2 months plus of holiday, practically doing not much thing. A busy holiday indeed. A very happening 2 months for me as well.

1st week of holiday, I din do much at all, stay at home, play games, watch movies.

2nd week of holiday or 1st week of May, help out in the pharmacy and went to the lab to continue my research. Do the tiring job once again, extracting, preparing the samples, pipetting and taking the UV, with the help of Dr Gabriel on the last day of experiment. Very tiring indeed.

3rd week of holiday, went to MV for my free facial treatment. The competition is by Powerruumz, under Ruumz. The service voucher is worth RM 128. However, the lowest price for a basic treatment is RM 168. Since I never do any facial before and giving such a chance to do facial in one of the famous place in KL, I just give it a shot, with topping up of RM 40. Kinda worth it and once in a lifetime experience. My first time. Not to mention, they using Dermalogica product. 

I even attended the Oath Taking Ceremony for my fellow friends.

The following week, me and my friends went to Taman Negara located in the state of Pahang. A 3 days 2 nights trip. Consider a tiring trip because I already had muscle pain on the 2nd day. After Taman Negara Trip, went to Penang for 4 days 3 nights, visiting various places there, trying out some of the famous food.

Pretty butterfly (Shoot in Taman Negara)

Nice sea side scenery. Taken in Penang

After Penang trip, we fly straight to Kuching and spent 5 days 4 nights before heading out to Sibu. That is how i spent the 4th week of May.

Visited Jong Crocodile Farm

Spotted orangutan in Semongok Wildlife Centre

After Sibu, we went up the state, to Bintulu, visited Taman Tumbina where we found some money on the ground. Unfortunately, the trip to Bintulu and Sibu were not that lucky since could not get the chance to try out their famous Kampua.

Sunset. (Taken at waterfront in Bintulu)

After Bintulu, come back to Kuching and the 1st week of June is almost gone.

2nd week of June, the most important one is on Monday, 7th of June, whereby the university decided to released our results in the morning, about 10am and I passed my exam. Finally able to step into my final year of pharmacy course. Besides that, went for badminton and Dota session as well, with some yumcha sessions with old classmates.

3rd week of June, another batch of friends from West Malaysia decided to come to Kuching. Guide them around, following them and become a assistant guide. haha.

4th week of June, another batch of friends from West Malaysia will come to visit Kuching. As a friend and classmate, will become co-guide again, bringing them around Kuching, tiring myself out. haha.

Now already left 2 weeks before I depart to KL since the new semester will start in 5th of July. Not much time left as I feel that I din not relax much, rest much. I think thats all from me. Good luck to my fellow friends who are going to take SUPP next week. I believe that you can do it. All the best.

p/s: My next post will be full with "Wah! So Lucky one!"

Blocked Hole

When you have block nose or flu, basically the food tat you eat will be tasteless, not a complete one since for us to perceive taste, we need both our taste bud and olfactory to work together to bring the real taste to life.

When you have airway filled with mucous, the feeling of something is in the throat and could not get it out even when cough very hard and loud really is annoying. Even when taking mucolytic and it is not working that fast, we only can do is hope for the best.

When you have constipation, it is as if like your anus is blocked by a hard stool, even when you try to defecate, the feeling of something still remaining in your butt hole really annoying. haha.

Today, basically I suffered from 2 of the 3 blocked hole. Really make my uneasy and moody.

Anyway, will be going to Taman Negara soon in a couple of hours and hopefully, the trip can relax my mind and hopefully reset my mindset and prepare myself for the clinical and rigorous 4th year of my pharmacy course.

April Update

Sorry for did not update my blog often. The main reason is that I kinda lazy and also dont have any idea on what to write. Anyway, kinda like Project Alpha very much, not to mention the song is nice to listen. Downside of it is that the music is louder than the voice. Haha.

On 26th of April 2010, it is the 1st day of exam for the students of Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, UCSI University. For me, it is the last day of exam as well. Having said that, I have been free since last monday and today marks 1 week holiday for me. Practically din not do much as most of the time stay at home, din not go out due to money constrain. Haiz.

What I did in April?

On 2 of April 2010, went all the way to Selayang to try out the Italian Cone Pizza for the first time with a friend of mine.

On 7 of April 2010, attended Project Alpha Launching cum Kick-Ass Movie screening at Cathay Cineplex @ e@curve.

(Thanks to Joshua for the photo)

(Thanks to Tian Chad for the photo) 

On 26 of April 2010, I sat for my final exam and the subject is Central Nervous System & Pharmacotherapy.

On 30 of April 2010, I attended CG01 and CG02 outing with Jasmine and Wilfred being the CG leader respectively. Went to Co Do, Mid Valley for dinner as well as surprise birthday celebration for Jasmine and farewell for one of the members of CG01.

p/s: Will be heading to Taman Negara Pahang on 17 of May 2010 for 3D2N after they finish their exam. Good luck to all my friends who are having their final exam now. 2 more weeks to go. Also congratulations to all my friends who have graduated from University and good luck in finding the right job.

TweetDeck

Recently started using TweetDeck, just this morning only after seeing it from MsXeroz twitter update. So, I have the urged to just try it one. And to me, it really is very convenient as you can see all the twitter update, direct message and even facebook update. Not to mention myspace if you have one. Here is step by step in how to update both status in twitter and facebook at the same time.

Step one: Click on the add column button to add new column at the dashboard so that you can view people update without opening a web browser

Step 2: Click the FB icon beside the Twitter, then for me, i choose only status update from everyone.

Step 3: Click the add new account, then choose the facebook tab since you have not created an account in tweetdeck. Just like when you started using it and tweetdeck ask you to key in your detail for twitter.

Step 4: Then the following window will pop-up. Just key in the appropriate username and password for your FB account.

Alternative: Well, you also can click the [+] button which I circle. From here, it will direct you to step 3.

To update status on both twitter and FB, make sure that both facebook and twitter is 'On', or is click, or brighthen up or become white. Then you should be ok. Should be easy. Just click around and you sure will be able to do. Hope my simple guide will help. Cheers.
