Pharmacy Practice 1B is the most challenging nightmare so far. Next week will be my interaction test. I haven’t even remembers all the symptoms for the conditions we were supposed to study. If I am not mistaken, there were around 15 types of medical condition that we should learn by heart. We have to know the symptoms, the treatments as well as the referral points for all. However, only one case will be assessed. Imagine walking into the pharmacy practice model with the lecturer as the patient and you as the pharmacist and not knowing what case will you get. The feeling is just scary. It’s stressful. I have exactly one week left and I felt so unprepared. Practised with my friend the whole day today but I still think I am not good enough. I still paused and at times, gave the wrong medication. Gosh. Help me!!!! Have to practice till perfect before Tuesday(3/11/09)
Besides the interaction test, we will also be sitting for a paper on this subject in the final exam which is 3 weeks away. Our lecturer told us yesterday that they will be negative marking for the MCQ. That is new for me as I have not experience it before. For every wrong answer, 0.5 marks will be deducted. For example, if you get 1 question right and 1 question wrong, instead of getting 1 out of 2 marks, we will only be getting 0.5 out of 2 marks. This is actually to ensure that students are not just guessing the answer but to actually know them. I guess, I should not take MCQ lightly then.
*3 weeks to exam, 7 weeks to see Jeslyn, 8 weeks to Malaysia*

Chicken of Durian Aroma
Yes. The title speaks it all. I bet you can't wait to read about that gross stuff. LOL.. Instead of the sweet and nice durian smell, this aroma is far worse. It's no where near. It stinks.
I left my chicken in the fridge instead of the freezer. I was supposed to cook the chicken a week ago which was when I defrost it. But guess what, I left it there for a week and when I opened the container, the smell was super duper strong. I chose to cook it anyway cause I have nothing else left. Everything else is in the freezer. I need to leave soon so I did not bother much. Just prayed that I will be alright. I cooked with oyster sauce thus it did not taste so bad. The sauce actually covered the rotten smell. I drink milk every morning but the milk tasted a little sour on that day which was the next morning after my rotten chicken dinner. Instead of going without breakfast, I decided to just drink that whole cup. I know you must be thinking I have a problem right? This is what happens when I am desperate. Hehe.. But thank God that I am alright. No diarrhoea or even stomach-ache. Told my friend about it and all they can say is my immune system is strong. LOL..Speechless~
Anyways, catch up with you guys soon ya.
Till then.
Love.

Awesome
Today had just been an awesome day. A friday to just come and relax and tell myself it's time to refresh and work harder in the following weeks. Things just happened randomly today and they were all good. Class ended and Lear and I went to KFC. We then went to Jay Jays to get a T-Shirt. A T-Shirt written Hug Me with a really cute pic on it. I was actually gona put the picture up but apparently, I can bluetooth the picture to the computer. So, I will do it tomorrow or next time then. It's really cute.
My mood today was really great. I am all hyped-up. I don't know why. Maybe it's because of the weather. Anyways, I just happened to watch Ultimate Gifts today and it's a nice movie. The message out of the movie was that even though we can't achieve our own dreams, we can still help others to fulfill theirs' if we are capable and that how true friends stand by you at difficult times but 'friends' just try to avoid you at those moments. This is reality and we just need to grasp the concept. Sometimes we are so blinded by temporary things. We need to lose things and maybe all things before we learn to cherish the things we have. So perhaps I should start appreciating the stuffs that I have now.
Anyways, I went to OCF as usual. Just went without any expectations. I knew we were gona watch a sermon today but I did not know much about it. It turns out to be 'How Great is Our God' by Louie Giglio. I just love this man. He is such a great man that God had created. The video was amazing. It really struck me on how teeny tiny we are compared to the universe that God created. But you know what, even though He is so great and majestic and powerful and almighty, He still cares for each and everyone of us. He know us from the strands of hairs we have to the emotions we are going through. I am so fearfully and wonderfully made. I thank God that He is always there for me that I are not alone in difficult circumstances. He knows our situation. He may not necessary take away and perfect those circumstances but He indeed does have a purpose and plan for us to go through that. A plan that none of us can imagine or expect as He is just so Great and all we need to do is just rely on Him, wait upon Him, be still upon Him and have faith that through Him, all things are possible. Like what Isaiah 40:29 says, 'He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak'. Draw strength from God and we will surely overcome the problem and bring Glory to God.
OCF was great. Did chat with a few people and it all went good. Well, I came home and I was supposed to study my Upper Respiratory Tract Infection lecture but I ended up watching Fireproof. Well, it was random as well as I did not know why and how I found that movie and clicked on that link. I guess it's all planned out. God's mighty plan. It's a movie about mariage but that's not about it. It's the meaning of the movie that touched me. I got to admit that I actually teared while watching the movie because it's just so beautiful. The man asked his father, "How am I suppose to show love to somebody over and over and over who constantly rejects me". It was meant on his wife. His dad then answered "It the same thing. God loves you even though you don't deserve it and even though you constantly rejects Him". Through the love from Jesus that we will learn to truly love others without expecting returns. The man then got that and accept Jesus Christ as his Saviour. We sometimes forgets to be grateful about that fact. We just constantly rejects and step back but God always draw Himself near us. He constantly move forward and He is constantly loving us even though we rejects Him. We don't deserve all that He has done but He did it for us. It's just amazing if you think about it. It really is.
Anyways, I am getting a little too long winded here. Even I realized myself. Sorry for that. I bet no one would actually read this post from top to bottom but I do think it's great for me as I have just learnt so much in this 24 hours. It's getting late and I have to leave as I need to rise early tomorrow.
Good night people.
Love.

Claude
I just suddenly have the urge to write this down here. Guess what, since Claude knew how Skype works, he called me like kinda often. Cause I access Skype through my phone, thus I am 24/7 online on Skype. And whenever he feels bored, he will call me.
Guess what again, he just called me and this was how the conversation went:
Claude: Hi zhi ling jie jie
Me: Er, Hi Claude.
Claude: So where are you now and what are you doing?
Me: I am in Uni now and I am doing some work.
Claude: SHOOT! Sorry. I thought you're free.
Me: Haha.. So why did you call me?
Claude: I am bored that's why I called you. OK la..Bye then.
Me: Haha..Bye.
It was our 45 seconds talk but it was kinda fun and random. I guess he is the only cousin who will think of me when he is bored. LOL..So sweet of him. Cute naughty little boy.
That's all I can say and now I have to head back to complete my Physiology abstract.
*Don't miss me although I know you will. yes.. It's you that I meant. YOU!

Random
This is meant to be a random post as I need a break. Am in Uni now and I am in the midst of looking for information to write for my Chemistry essay. It's rather not fun as I don't have much of an idea on what am I going to include for the topic chosen. But well, I believe I will and it will be done before the deadline. So much to do but atleast my Physiology presentation is done today. ONE DOWN!!!!! More to come~
Anyway, it's like 3.25pm now and I have 2 hours and 35 minutes to go before my next lecture which is at 6pm. Tuesday is not a good day as I have to reach Uni at 10am and only finishes class at 8pm. Tiring but after all, I survived and there is only 3 Tuesdays left before we end this Semester. YEA~
I am hungry now but I can't eat as I only brought 2 pieces of bread and I bet if I eat now, I will be hungry again before 6pm. Ish..I shall forgo the hunger for the sake of saving money.
Just thought of sharing my sad life. Gota get back to reality now.
BYE!!~

Again
Just feels like dropping by again to just write something here. This is because of Stan Walker. As I was reading his blog, it just inspires me to blog more. Reading those posts are really interesting as they are all funny. LOL..
Yesterday was awesome after I logged-out from my blog page. As I wrote, I went for a jog. I was supposed to jog around to look for a barbeque pit for Lear Law as she's planning for an outing. So I just do her a little favor. I usually jog around Elder Park but I jogged around both Elder Park and Torrens River to look for the pits. Gosh..it was tiring. The track just go round that once you started there is no way to turn back. LOL. So I have to perservere till the very end to reach the end point so that I could walk back to my Apartment. I remembered there's one barbeque pit but as I jogged yesterday I saw none. Nonetheless it was good that I got to burn more fats. Once I reached my apartment, I can't feel my legs anymore. They got detached from my body( exaggerating..Like what my dad always say about me. I like to exaggerate and this habit got worse since I came here.) LOL...
I jog every Saturday(apparently), cause I think it's a good way of getting out of my stress zone and stepping into the relaxing zone by just having to enjoy the cool air and the green nature. It's great. Chatted with my cousin bro yesterday too and he said he is having his A-Level finals this coming week. LOL..But I don't know why and how that we landed on the topic that I jog every Saturday. Immediately after that, he said to me " Sure very fit d right"..Gosh..So not. I am not even close to the word fit. Still as fat as usual. Actually no..Fatter than the Malaysian Sze Lynn..Why? I eat lots of fatty food and I go for jog. So the equation will be Fat + Fatty foods + Jog= Fat. So, I am not fitter by jogging.
I don't know why this whole post becomes my jogging post. Anyways, let me just share something intersting with you. My chicken curry was yummy and I am cooked red bean soup today and it's delicious too..So proud~ Blush~ This is me..always syok sendiri. LoL.
I think I should atleast stop here so I can get back to my Pharmacy Practice dispensing scripts. Need to complete everything. Then go for Drums later. LOL..
Dont miss me..
Chat with you guys later.
BYE..MISSING EVERYONE!

Dropping By
I am still counting down and everytime I do so, it's cracking my nerves. 4 and 1/2 weeks to final. However, I am still procrastinating. Ain't that sad? So I thought, instead of browsing through the net maybe I should atleast pen down something here then I might be satisfied to then browse my books. Hopefully. LOL. The previous week was all about studying. It was Chemistry everyday as I just had a test yesterday. The paper wasn't that hard but I would say, I did not do a great job there. It was just so so..and I just practically screwed up one of the questions by just merely ignoring the extra information given. I just wanted to hit myself for doing that. What's done is done and all I can do is to pray that it wouldn't turn out as bad.
Peer pressure is really getting me now. Without family by my side, friends are the people I am closest with here in Adelaide. I am really glad that I've met some really amazing people and that I know I can learn so much from them. Everyone is studying like crazy and it's causing me to do so. That is really good. It kinda made me feel guilty if I dont study and that's exactly what I need now as to neil my finals. The downside to that is that they are really smart and I have got to admit that I am not as brilliant as them. Thus I sometimes feel quite intimidated by that. However, I would not let that hold me back. Those thoughts will just need to be polished and made positive by just simply having to say "I have to work slightly harder than them and I can surely achieve what they achieve". I have faith in myself.
Saying "Yes" to the previous paragraph, I MUST start to say "NO" to junk foods. I have been eating lots of chocolates nowadays. Why? Cause they are all on sale. It's not like it's a must but I just can't help it. I just have to buy cause they are really cheap now. They are trying to clear all winter chocolates. Apparently, one of my friends told me that the chocolate made in winter and in summer is different. This is so cool as I never knew that. So I guess this is why they are selling them off at low prices so that they can stock up those summer chocolates. So yes, I have plenty of chocolates to eat and I should STOP buying more.
Those chocolates will accompany me throughout my studying journey till finals. Taking bits by bits, day by day. Yea~
So, I guess I'll go prepare my curry for tonight's dinner and then go for a jog. I promise I will study something today eventhough it's a nice weekend. LOL..
Reminder: (8 & 1/2 weeks to be back in Malaysia)
Till then.
Love~

Sixth of October Two Thousand Nine
In a blink of an eye, its already October 6th 2009 which is also the 267th day of this year. Ain't time flying? Yesterday marked the very last day of my school break for this year until I finish my first year of Bachelor of Pharmacy. So scary and unbelievable. The next time I have my break will be on the 24th of November 2.30pm...That's when I can smile and walk out of the exam hall feeling all relief until March 2010 starts and all ready to start my second year..
Today's an amazing day. Went to Uni at 10am and was there till 8.30pm..10 and a half hours. Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner = 4 pieces of bread, 1 energy bar and 2 cups of milk. However, the good thing is I don't feel hungry..Yea. I really should start eating that amount everyday as I bet I have gained a few pounds since the last holiday where I was just eating non-stop. Now, I have to do twice as many sit-ups. That's so not fun. But I guess it will all be worth it as the pounds I lose here will be replaced by all the food to be eaten when I am back in Malaysia. Can't wait for that.
Also starting from today too, I officially have 7 weeks to my first paper of finals. The worse thing is, there are still assignments and tests in between. 7 weeks ain't long. But, rather than to panic, I guess it would be a better idea to just do my best and manage my time well. I want to have a life too even in the midst of these assignments and exams. So, I have decided on my life for the next 7 weeks. It's just plans but I will try my best to stick to it.
Resolutions:
1) More on textbooks and revision books
2) Less on laptop
3) Barack Obama
4) Basic
5) Talk less and do more
So I should really stop blogging and facebook-ing. I should be studying now although I am tired. I cannot start giving excuses to myself. I cannot start procrastinating. I cannot start being lazy.
I can do all of that 8 weeks from now while waiting for my sis to arrive since I will be here all alone. LOL...
So, I should probably hit my book once again.
Till then...
XOXO
