4 years!!! a good one?

2010-05-16T11:24:00.009+08:00

It has been a long time i didn't blog...and finally i had the time and stories to share :)

Recently after the exam, i was recalling the old memories i had in UCSI for these 4 years...many good memories and some not so good, but the not so good memories are the one that make me grows and become stronger...probably who i am now is not who i am 4 years ogo..so lets us flashback~

***

Interview in UCSI...

I very nervous the day before my interview....trying to searched through the net to find info regarding pharmacy so that i can answer the questions the interviewer ask me....at that time i don't really had a clear idea what a pharmacist is like and how they work...i choose pharmacy because i like chemistry...that's all.

During the day of interview, i took one of my sis's formal blouse from the closet and wear it to the interview in UCSI...i didn't realise her blouse is ripped at the back...suddenly my mom told me that the blouse had a hole (my mom accompany me to the interview)...i totally went panic...don't know what to do...just hiding at the toilet and wait for my mom to look for something to 'hide' that hole..unfortunately, she couldn't get anything back :( later, i remembered i had a plaster in my bag....i just took out the plaster and try to 'close' the hole....

During the interview, one of the lecturer just told us we had a small quiz for the interview...i panic again~ few months didn't touch my chemistry book and now i had to answer the chemistry questions without prepare...swt! There are 4 interviewee on tht day including me...i am the first one sitting at the right side who always has to answer the question first :( sitting next to me is another girl (Yen Yie)...she looks innocent and shy (but i was wrong)...haha...then there are another two girls sitting at the left side (forgot their names)..but they didn't join us in UCSI...

***

First year in UCSI-an innocent year

I went to the orientation day....i met Wan Nah outside the lif....we're waiting for the lif to go to the 3rd floor....i wonder she is one of the pharmacist first year student like me...so then i started to talk to her...and fortunately she is one of us..hahah....that make her my very first friend in UCSI.... knowing her deeper when we get along, i started to admire her bravery and charming cutey look :)...she is one of the friend in UCSI that i will never regret of knowing her...

I remember during the first year, we need to meet our mentor...and guess who is my mentor...yes, he is Mr Jony!!!!!!! hahahaha.....when i first enter into his room, i was blurr and wanted to introduce myself..but before i introduce myself...he already can guess i am one of his mentee...and he ask me to meet him again with the other mentees of him ... i came back and meet him with Yueh Teng and Aaron...i speaks very little..i just had pressure of speaking with strangers (probably is a sign of Social Anxiety Disorder)....Yueh Teng and Aaron talks alot..haha...and that make me even more speechless....Mr Jony looks quite fierce to me at first....he seems like scolding me and ask me to speak more....and now i know why...becoz he is my communication skill lecturer..hahahah

***

Second Year in UCSI-most happening year

Meeting more friends in my second year..and this year is the most happening year to me...becoz i went to Nogaps in Kuantan and had an opportunity to participate in annual public health campaign in Sunway pyramid (Nogaps and PHC can found in my older posts)...I had industrial attachment in Duopharma, Klang with tomas (leader), suk yen, shin ying, and chui wei....and that time I just realise i haven't speak with tomas since the first day in UCSI :P...haha....the attachment was sooo bored until we get to shared many of our 'stories' there....haha...and i still remember the delicious roti canai in Klang...

Second year nobody will forget one of our 'beloved' subjects... which is dispensing and compounding (D&C)..this subject is more on practical skill, we learn how to compound various drugs in various dosage form such as creams, emulsion, suspension, suppositories, etc....we need to finish our products by time....and i remembered once, when i was making some sort of sulphur cream (yellow colour)...i was too panic due to running out of time...i accidentally cut myself with the stirring rod...my hand bleeding nonstop and couldn't continue the practical...so Mr Jony ask me to come again next week for another test..swt..

i love my second year the most :)

Third year in UCSI- to be continue....

fine day~

2009-07-16T20:16:00.003+08:00

Phew~ the PBL discussion today was going on smoothly.....although i didn't really speaks... hope the presentation next week will be going on smoothly too....i hope i can adapt to it soon.....and luckily my facilitator is not very strict.....if my facilitator is Dr yeong, perhaps i will be in the emergency ward already....

It just the beginning...

2009-07-15T23:51:00.004+08:00

4th year wasn't as free as i thought....although i had only 2 study days per week, but the stress is like thousand and millions times more than i was in the previous year...:( My biggest problem is during the PBL presentation...i panic, shakes, and my mind totally gone blank....am i having stage fright?? but there wasn't any stage....and my presentation is just sitting on the chair, not even need to stand....what am i afraid of actually?

During my first mock presentation, i totally screw up my topic....i don't know what am i talking...and i am sure other people too....after the presentation, i really felt tired and sad.....tired because i used up all my energy to control my emotion? after coming back from uni....i really feel like finding someone to talk to....but it seems like nobody can really understand how panic i was.....soon, my tear just drip down....drop by drop....am i really ready to go to 4th year? i thought maybe i should just give myself a rest....

Yesterday, i felt my hands keep on sweating....because i know there are presentation again the next day....and this time i have to present 2 trigger....i worried i couldn't cope with it again.... i was really nervous.....

today, i miss my stop at the bdr tasik selatan ktm station......the train brought me to serdang *swt*....maybe i was thinking too much until i miss my station....i couldn't finish my lunch......the food(pan mee) taste so salty.....and i felt very full....i couldn't join the conversation with my friends...my mind is feeling blank....i know i need to look for a place to calm down myself......i felt they walk very slow....or maybe i walk too fast....i really don't know ......all i know is to reach the PBL room as soon as possible.....

The PBL session went on smoothly.....i didn't panic like last time....although my hand abit shaky during the presentation.....i was satisfied ....haha....

There are many more presentation waiting for me....and i just need to face it....i know i will never like it .....but i will accept it....because this is all just the beginning.....

HOLIDAYS!!!!!

2009-05-23T15:53:00.007+08:00

Finally is another holiday~ i waited so long for this holiday....and finally it has reached...:) haha

There is no specific reasons for me to wait for this holiday....no travels, no activities, no outing...i just want to rest, rest and rest...and just wan to get away from EXAMS!! Life is so good without exams...

i finally can sit down and watch my favourite show- American's idol...but yesterday is already the result finale :( ....i miss many episode of it...but still remember there is a good looking, talented singer name Adam Lambert...i wish he could win as he really the best idol ever of all seasons by far...but my friend told me he lose...i really couldn't belief it, cause he has the whole package...maybe my friend is wrong....or maybe Kris sing really well in the finale (i didn't watch the final so i don't know how they perform) .. i glued to my TV throughout the whole result show just to wait for Ryan Seacrest to announce the winner....i still hope that Adam is the winner...:P...Adam sang really well during the show...whereas Kris is just okay....Finally the result is out....Kris won...Kris really won...ok, i accept it...

Sometimes in life, u just have to accept although u totally not agree to it...or maybe when u hate a person, everything negatives about that person will automatically come out from your mind...that time, u are most likely to make a wrong judgement...last time, i am quite a stubborn person (now still is...improving!!)...it is very hard for me to accept something that i don't like or disagree (i still think Adam deserve to win :P)...now i am learning to accept...because i saw and seen many egos in my life.... peoples get very irritated by them...and even i will get irritated....so i don't want others to get irritated by me...''sorry, if u are irritated by me..really sorry!''

ok...back to holiday plan~

plan 1 - Sleep 12 hours per day

plan 2 - Watch TV

plan 3 - Games, online...

plan 4 - Get rid of my pimples

plan 4 - Cooks

plan 5 - Shopping? no money :(

plan 6 - Gain weight...so eat, eat and eat

plan 7 - still thinking.....

finally ~HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL~ ;)

Nothing special every chinese new year...the foods are the same (bak zam kai,mix vegies, taufu, vinegar pork,...), the relatives are the same (just one year older each year), the decorations in my house are always the same (recycle :P)...I thought chinese new year should be everything new, but everything end up to be the same..

Beloved lecturer

2008-11-30T14:45:00.001+08:00

Yesterday is not a special day, neither anyone birthday nor any anniversary...but it is an unforgettable day to me... i spent an unforgettable happy and sad moment today with someone that i knew for 2 and a half years...but sadly, he is going to leave us and back to his hometown in Jakarta... he is my mentor/ lecturer that i respect..he is Mr Jony.. I believed many people is going to miss his lesson, his sporting character, his charming looks...and of cause his motivation and helps in our studies...we had planned a farewell party for him....but that was not enough....so we decided to ask him out for an outing to create a memorable moment with him...and hope that this outing will make him remember us and the happy moment he has in Malaysia... The day before yesterday, wan nah, me and yueh teng try to make a cheese cake for him...i had never make a cake before....this is really my first time.... this cake is wan nah's recipe ....she is the one that really make the cake....me and yueh teng are just helping her out ....we use dispensing technique that we learned from Mr Jony to make the cake (e.g water bath, trituration) ...After we put the cake into the freezer...the cake is done.... Yesterday morning, the cake looks nice and we hope it taste good too... we took our breakfast in a mamak restaurant with Mr Jony before we go to Sunway Lagoon.. We ate the cheese cake at the mamak...When Mr Jony try the first bite of the cheese cake, his expression told me that the cake is not nice.... but luckily he said we got a 'pass'... haha..(hopefully he will not has any diarrhea after that :P) Arrived at Sunway lagoon, they decided to play the wet park....but for some reason, i couldn't play the wet park...but no choice, chie chek want to see 'another side' of Mr Jony...so i just follow the majority...so we played wet, dry and extreme park.. i really enjoyed the rides there...but the first rides was a bit scary (i guess it's called pirate ship if not mistaken)...i shouted very loud...probably i haven't warm up yet :P ...or maybe just to shout for fun...haha... Later, we decided to cross the long bridge...it was the 'longest bridge' i had ever cross...if we are wearing footwear, then it won't be that hard to cross the bridge...the biggest challenge of crossing the bridge is that we are crossing it barefooted....the bridge was hot and really burned my foot...suk yen has a slight acrophobia...but she still manage to cross the bridge...i believed with few more times of crossing the bridge, suk yen sure can overcome her acrophobia....GAMBATE! Mr jony seems very brave...he played every rides...no shouting..no screaming...but i rather see him shouting than just keeping cool...:P We kept our cameras inside the lockers...hence we miss many nice shots we can take with Mr Jony during the rides and in the pool...but i believed these happy moment we had with Mr Jony will always be in our memory...forever? maybe...but as long as i still remember his 'torturing' d&c class, his lively com skill class, the hardest biotech subject, and the 'stimulant' marketing class...i believed these memories will always be remembered...With all these memories...i think it will be very hard to forget Mr Jony! After all the fun we had in Sunway Lagoon...everyone is hungry like mad...so we headed to Kaki corner for our lunch+dinner...that time is already about 7pm or 8pm (i can't really remember)..but it's the first time i took my lunch at this late...this is my first time having lunch + dinner with Mr Jony and also my first time having lunch/dinner with a lecturer... sadly, it also the last time we had this lunch/dinner with him..:( we had dedicated a song (tong2 hua4)from Michael Wong for Mr Jony...he quite surprise that we know he like Michael Wong..haha... It was about 10pm something...when we decided to dismiss...everyone was tired...but happy and thankful for Mr Jony willingness to spent this day with us...

7th Annual Public Health Campaign

2008-06-26T14:58:00.001+08:00

After coming back from Kuantan, i really felt boring staying at home....suddenly, my friend (Shin Ying), ask me to join the Public Health Campaign (PHC) since the screening department lack of people...before that, i really wanted to join this PHC and was placed in the equipment department....but due to the limited places available, then i was displaced....but now, i am back in the PHC and placed in screening department....haha....i am ready for it! The PHC was held in Sunway Pyramid from 20 to 22 june....everyone looks nervous at the beginning and i, for sure, heart pumping like mad already! I am not very good in my communication...and quite worry that time....don't know what am i going to face afterward...At the beginning, I was placed in blood pressure counter....very nervous that time....my hand was shaking when assessing the blood pressure of Datin and i really couldn't hear her pulse...in fact, i heard my heart beating crazily........she can see that i nervous and decided to check again later...but she never come back....afterthat, i try to calm down myself.....later, i check the blood pressure for the next customer and the next and the next....it's really hard to hear the pulse with music and sound system surrounded....i was really scared i take the wrong reading....In the evening, charlene put me in the body fat counter...PHEW~ really relieve because body fat counter is the easiest among all...and is my favorite counter..hehe....On the second day, i was put in height, waist and hip measurement counter....this is not a hard job but is quite tiring because we have to stand all day long...and sometimes it is hard to take the waist's measurement because my hands are not long enough....if the customer has slightly big tummy..then it will look like i am hugging the customer....after taking dinner, we get to choose whichever counter we wanted to go because they no longer follow the time table....i quickly ran to the body fat counter before anyone get the sit...haha...The last day wasn't that much people but many of my colleagues started to get sick.....but they still give their best and make PHC a successful event ....i met a cute little boy name Andrew....when my colleague is consulting Andrew's father....my colleague asked Andrew's father whether he do exercise or not.....'my father always exercise but he eat a lot too ' that's was Andrew answered...he is cute right??..haha....besides, Andrew also won 2nd place in the colouring contest.....congratz!!After three days of hard work....finally the 7th annual PHC come to an end....it exceed 1700 people to come for health screening...this doesn't includes those that come for the exhibition and kids in the coloring contest...at night we had pizza and KFC for our supper as celebration for this successful event....i really learn something in this PHC.....able to believe in myself and more confident when facing strangers....i really thanks the committee for allowing me to join this PHC and deeply appreciates that....

No Gaps 2008

2008-06-17T19:33:00.018+08:00

Wednesday, 11 June

We all left KL to Kuantan, a place that i never go before....the journey to Kuantan is not a short one...we talk, laugh, eat, and sleep in the bus...and finally we reach our destination....

everyone is hungry at that time....so we went to the nearest mamak to fill up our hungry stomach....although i am quite hungry at that time, but i just ordered a 'milo kosong' and a 'roti kosong'.....i was quite disappointed by the food that i ordered....although i am hungry, but i took quite some times to finished up my food....and the price was not cheap..... later, the NoGaps committee came and took us to our hostel.... We all are really tired at that time.....i just hope that i can lie on the bed and sleep as long as i could....but to our surprise....our hostel room is full of dust, ants, spiders, sand...etc....it probably like an abandon room for quite some times......no choice, we have to clean up everything before we finally get our sleep...... Thursday, 12 June SUDDENLY, around 2M TO 3AM (i not really sure about the time), the fan and light was off....what had happen we really don't know....i just felt really tired and continue to sleep...i woke up the next morning with my whole body full of sweat....there is still no electricity in our room.....tired~ We went to registration and then a tour to the IIUM campus.... later we change our clothes and heading to pantai sepat for the ice-breaking session....we are divided into 10 groups and i am in the last group which was Group J...i felt nervous at that time because i don't know anyone in my group... After that, we play 'flour water throwing' games...haha....i didn't really play coz i don't really know the rules.....all my friends came back with flour all around their pants and shirt....and i won the cleanest category...haha ... Friday, 13 June Today was the most tiring day in Kunatan.... In the morning, we went to the auditorium for poster and research presentation....we almost fall asleep due to the cooling environment and lack of sleep.... then later during the afternoon, we have to change to the long sleeves orange shirt provided for the pharmrace.... the weather outside was really hot....i already sweating there before the race start...My group got the 7th place in the pharmrace....hehe... Saturday, 14 June Community service in kuantan parade....I am in the screening department...In the evening, we all get dress up for the cultural night.... every group have to perform during the cultural night....and my group is performing coir ...i am very bad in singing and memorising...my group members had created lyrics for our coir....obviously i couldn't memorise all the lyrics...so during the performance, i was really nervous....my group members all was nervous too....when my group started to sing, i try to sing as well...but when i forgot the lyrics, i just moves my mouth without voice coming out from my throat..:P Sunday, 15 June We had MyPSA annual general meeting in the morning.... Group J's picture~

*serious

*fun

Later at night, we all dress up in batik for the closing ceremony the ladies~~~ the gentlemen~~Overall, my group got the 4th place...not bad not bad...

We went to Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Agricultural Park for the post programmes which includes jungle trekking and flying fox....

*this pic looks a bit eerie~~

p.s: the date on some pictures are incorrect...coz i didn't set the date for my camera...:P

Money

2008-05-27T08:44:00.000+08:00

Money $$ money $$ money $$.....we couldn't live without money....agree? Money seems to be everything, but to some people it is not ....recently, i received a forwarded e-mail from a friend....the mails said about the importance of money in regards to happiness, health, knowledge, and time...which most of us don't agree with...i think for a moment...and at last, i do agree with it... some people think money couldn't buy happiness...but without money, happiness is so far far away from many people...e.g. beggars are poor, are they happy without money? NO!...However, when people give them money..although little...they seems to be very happy...because they know that they do not need to suffer from hunger for at least today... some people think money cannot buy health....but without money, how are we going to get the best medicine, and the surgery or operation in order to continue living? Do you think doctors studied so hard to give free service to everyone? and the pharmacist study so hard to give free medicine to the public? of cause not...the doctors and pharmacist had paid so much for their tuition fees and they suffer a lot before graduates to become a pharmacist and doctor...if they provide free services to the public...they will be broke and probably die from hunger due to their kind heart and sacrifice to the public...i will not do that...haha...because i know i don't have a big heart, my heart is just the size of my fist..hahaha (sorry, lame joke!)... some people think money cannot buy knowledge....but without money, who is willing to teach you and pass their knowledge to you without paid? (maybe your parents will if they are knowledgeable enough...but how many people has such a parent? very little right?) and how to buy books to read without money? maybe you may think of borrowing books from the library...but remember, you need to pay for the annual members fees also... some people think money couldn't buy time....i do agree that money couldn't buy the past....so why not we appreciates every moment we spend with our families and friends now instead of regretting thereafter....in another way, time is money!...if money can buy time....many people will instead not appreciates every moment they spend with their loves one...true? So...most importantly, the past is past, we shouldn't look backward....let our memories keep those sweet moment we had and filter out those bad experience or moment that we had...look FORWARD...beautiful things awaits us... However, there are still things that money couldn't buy...such as love, true friends, ....etc...that's why friends are important to me because they are priceless....haha...i love you all, my friends! *truly deeply from the bottom of my heart* Thanks for choosing me as your friend...love ya!!

~Friends forever~
