100th Post

Yea.. This is my 100th post. Job well done so far? Think so. Don't remember how I came so far in this blog. I am writing this post with an excited and happy mood. Gosh. As you can see from the tick tock at the right hand corner, I am home now. It has been 5 days now. Bak Kut Teh tastes so good. Driving feels so nice. It's time to relax and enjoy life for the time being.

Hope everyone is feeling the same way as well since most of my friends are back home with their family due to study break.

Nerviac? Cardous?

Which looks better? Nerviac or Cardous? Those words do not exist so please dont bother looking for the definition at dictionary.com. Its a combination of central nervous system and cardiac system. I have yet to master the two topics and exam is 3 days away. Help me. I read and read and read but I still don't get some of the stuffs and I still experience some difficulties in remembering the drugs and their mechanism of action. I am so so dead. And due to that, this is the only facial expression I can give you.

This is just a random post after a tiring 4 hours of studying. Next post will be after exam.

Ps: To those who are burning the midnight oil for exam, You are not alone. Press on!

Waiting

Friend. You don't know the feeling until you lose one. People come and go but I used to believe friends stay on. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe there is no such thing as forever. But I wish I was right. I have to constantly remind myself that I did not lose one. That friend of mine will forever carry the tag of 'friend' regardless of whether he/she wants to take it down.

C.S Lewis once said, 'Frienship is unnecessary, like philosphy, like art...it has no survival value; rather it's one of those things that give value to survival'. This friendship might only mean the first part of the sentence to you but to me, it's the whole complete line.

I can't read the person's mind like Edward Cullen but I am sure I can read mine. My brain, the size of my fist confirms to me everyday before I sleep that the friendship did not sink. It did not. Things might be different. I might be hated. My presence might not be welcomed but I will make sure I do not lose sight of the beautiful ship.It has definitely brought me to places that I could not go without or alone.

All that's happening now is that the weather is too bad for the sail to begin again. However, weather will change according to God's will. It's just the matter of time.

Depression

Am currently studying about depression. Typical, atypical and melancholic depression. Never knew there were so many types of depressions till I had this lecture last 2 weeks and studying about it now. I was feeling rather depressed too. Did not do much yesterday and today. Was supposed to finish atleast 10 lectures in two days but so far I have only done half. Gosh. Kill me..

That was exactly how I felt 2 hours ago. But had Domino's with my housemates just now. It lifted up my spirit. For 7+, we had 2 large pizzas, 3 lava cakes and 1 cheesy garlic bread to share. It is not all about the food. It's the fellowship. I dont think I will ever get bored of this people. Even if we talk everyday over dinner, we still can somehow come up with a topic to chat. Can't imagine how my life would be without them. These are the friends I would treasure for life. 30 years from now, we will still be able to sit and laugh over things.

Anyways, enough for now. Need to continue my depression topic and make sure I finish it asap.

A Lamp and a Genie

I dont know why but I miss mummy more today. Feel like talking to her but I don't have credit to call home. Candise did not online too so I dont have any ways to listen to her voice. Haiz. Was just hoping to rub on the lamp and for a Genie to appear so I can have one granted wish but that's not going to happen right? I have to come back to reality.

Headache

I don't have headache. But I got headache today as my counselling case. It was a rather simple case. My patient was really nice and I did not feel intimidated at all. Assessor on the other hand is rather scary as I got my course coordinator. Hope he is not too strict. The 1 hour write up was just enough to let me complete everything. Well, I hope I have done enough as this would cost me 35% of the total score for this subject. Glad that its done.

It's the 1st of November already. Jes starts her SAM Finals today. Am really praying for her wisdom and memory. I know she can do it and it's just a matter of staying calm and focus. I dont hope but I know she is capable of that.

Mine will be 19 days from now. First paper will be on the 20th of Nov. I realized I only have about 3 weeks to study and I am a little freaked out. I really have to focus and start memorizing everything or else I would make it in time.

COME ON! JESLYN AND TAMMY CAN DO IT!

Ps: I Love my sisters.

Last Cycle

This post is 2 days late but it is still worth writing. Having examination just around the corner and leaving back home shortly after my last paper which falls on the 27th of November, I had no choice but to bid goodbye to Royal Adelaide Hospital(RAH). Thursday was my last day in for the year of 2010. It had been such a pleasure working there. From finding the hospital too big for recognition of wards and department to having those at my fingertips. Though I would not say I am familiar with the whole building. There are some departments where only specific or particular staffs are allowed. An example of that is the Intensive Care Unit(ICU).

Events that lead to a memorable Thursday:
1. Went to the thoracic medicine department which is usually empty but not this time. In a room of 5 beds, I saw two rather young and good looking men. I wondered why they ended up there. Lung problems due to smoking? I hope not. If it is, it's just a waste. They probably looked around 30-40 years old and life has just began.

2. Went to 4th floor and this young caucasian men was really nice. He said hi and asked me how am I doing. I really like these patients as I just felt like they light up the quiet and sad atmosphere in the ward. That 'hi' made my day. His smile was so bright that it outshines the summer sun seen through the window.

3. Went to 6th floor, something very unexpected and rare happened. I saw this physiotherapist holding on a metal plate with some poo on it. I am not quite sure where it came from but one thing for sure, she looked disgusted and panicked on to how to dispose the materials on that plate. Well, she basically walked around carrying it asking for the nurses' help. I mean, this is understandable as she is a physiotherapist and it is not suprising that she don't usually deal with these problems. The solution was, throw it in the toilet and flushed it down. I guess she was too traumatised to think of anything. Anyways, atleast all the poo ended up getting flushed down and not on the floor of the ward. One of the nurse then got an air freshener and sprayed it all over the ward. It was definitely a funny scene.

4. An old man and a woman aged around 70 years old or even more looking for interesting books to read to pass time in the hospital. Through his comments on the authors of the variety of books on the shelf, I can see that he is a very knowledgable person or atleast a man who reads alot. On the other hand, the woman just quietly looked through the collection and picked two old western books that caought her interest. Usually people of that age have literacy problem but certainly not these 2 patients.

5. When leaving, Alison Matthew the Admin Support Officer there thanked me for my time and my help. The Thursday team wished me luck and their smiles and encouragements are among the things I would treasure from this experience.

Things that I learnt from the hospital overall :
1. Went to the oncology department and got a chance to look at how chemotheraphy is done.
2. Differentiate the pharmacist working at the dispensary counter and the wards
3. See the role of physiotherapist in aiding patients with movement difficulties
4. Found out that patients who have the possibility of imposing dangers to others are accommodate into a single room and have a security officer guarding the door.
5. There are chaplains in the hospital that visits patients and pray for them.

Those Thursday are behind me now. No more waking up at 7.20am to ensure I get to hospital on time. No more wearing formal on Thursday. No more sitting in the cafe overlooking the doctors sitting down and talking about their patients. I will miss those.

Fired Up!

Final examination is exactly a month away. I believe all that is required is just a little extra perseverance, determination and discipline. A month of putting aside everything and let studies come first. I have to wake up every morning looking into the mirror telling myself "Nothing is going to happen today that I can't handle with You". No temptations. No distractions. Only wisdom and knowledge can shake me. And I want to be able to tell myself "You did well today Sze Lynn. Keep it up!"everytime I go to bed.

I know if I am able to live 30days like that, Success will be at the door waiting for me.

My only wish for this year's Christmas present will be good results to end Second Year of Bachelor of Pharmacy.

Am I a Lost Soul?

Everyday is full of excitements and suprises. Eventhough it might just be like a regular week in and out of Uni, there are still small little things that happen and make that day or week slightly different from the others. Today I was left thinking about me. Who am I? Am I just another lost soul you see on the street with no sense of direction about their life? Do I just follow where the crowd goes and see where it leads me? Or am I the one to point people to the destination? I don't know.

To be honest, having to leave home and coming to a foreign country at the age of 18 is a blessing but in the same time difficult. I am living so many people's dream. I am so lucky to have parents who can support me through all these despite their heavy heart and worries for me to study and live alone in a country or state they have never been to.

All that people see are the exterior which is fancy and glam but they often neglect the interior. The fear of not being able to adapt. The fear of not being able to withstand the pressure. The fear of mixing with the wrong clique. The fear of not being able to live in a place without family. So far, having been in Adelaide for almost 2 years, I would say that I am adapting well and coping with the stress in University while having family by my side.

In addition to all that, I am having a bunch of crazy yet hardworking yet caring yet smart friends to be with in the midst of not having our family with us. Being a family person, there are alot of things that I would keep it to myself and only share it with my family instead of with friends. I do tell my peers things that are going on in my life but that are only confined to shallow topics where they would only be able to see me as they see the surface. They do not know what is underneath. They don't see the corals, the fish or even the shark that are swimming freely in the deep blue sea. There are people who would reveal the whole sea to their friends but I am just not like that. I guess, it's because God made us all differently, uniquely, and fearfully.

However, since I came to Australia, my friends are the people I am closest with. Having to live with my best friends this year, I realized I am less reluctant in sharing my lifestory. Eventhough there are still things that are kept behind the thick and tall wall, it is starting to collapse bits by bits. This is because I felt that they will not judge me nor will they gossip about it. As they tell me about their stories, I tell them mine too and that pulls the two unrelated ropes closer to each other.

How about peer pressure? I do admit that I failed and gave in to it. The things I talk about with my friends here are not the same as my home friends. We talk alot about a certain topics and in a way it is good as it helps widen my horizon. So that would be something that I do not mind. There are things that I do not normally do but now I will. I still doesn't curse and I am glad my friend do respect me of that. Not that they curse but they do accidently mention it once in a while. There are slight rough words that would slip out of my lips but not frequent at all. It does bother me when I see my friends change or try to adapt to their clique. Trying to do things to seek for acceptance. There is nothing wrong with that, but is that worth it? I am not the one to judge.

But I do hope I am not like that. I do hope that I can still see where the arrows are pointing. I dont want to follow them blindly thinking they can bring me to the place I want to be. I do not want to be a souless man. I want to be someone with intergrity and know my stand. I want to make my parents proud that despite how the world is revolving now, I will remain the same as the daughter they cherish and love. Someone they can trust and lean on. I want to be TAMMY YEONG SZE LYNN.

Anyways, sorry for the long post but I just wanted to type down my thoughts after going through today. Good job if you manage to read till this without skipping the middle part. Then, maybe you want to tell me your opinion? Leave a comment if you do.

ZZzzz..

I have a huge problem nowadays. I feel like sleeping all the time. At 10pm, I feel like popping into the bed already. What is my problem? I woke up at 10am yesterday and by 10pm, I felt like my eyes were giving up. They ran out of fuels to keep it open. But of course I did not use toothpicks like Mr. Bean. Instead, laptop is my toothpick. It kept it open till about 11pm and I finally gave in to my sleepiness and placed my head on my comfortable pillow.



Woke up at 8am today for class and it's a torture. Regardless of the 9hours sleep, it's still inadequate. I was contemplating of sleeping in and skipping class but my conscience helps wake me up. What should I do? I can't be a sleeping beauty or in another term a pig. It's a no way. But sleeping felt so good. HELP ME!

Full Stop

Have you ever thought that you're not good enough for someone or something? No matter how hard you try to change things or improve yourself, it's not enough. You'll never be able to reach their standard. Or it's just that their level of expection increases all time. So I learnt my lesson. Put a full stop to that feeling. It doesn't matter if he/she likes my way or he/she think I am good enough because I am not going to change myself to suit him/her anymore. If our roles were exchanged, I don't think that he/she can even do what I did.

I might not be good enough for you but I am certainly good enough for Him.

X on Calender

Yesterday was a day to mark on my calender. Went to the gym and broke my own record. Woot.

What? : Treadmill
Venue: City East Gym
Distance : 11.01km ( 27.5 laps of 400m)
Time : 73.43 minutes
Calories : 810 cals.

It's not like it is a big deal as 11km in 73 minutes is slow but I achieved what I hope and beyond that. Was tending to do 20laps but in the end, the running calories and distance kept me going. Job well done.

Went to the gym 4 times this week and scrapped a total of 2000cals. Time is running out..Have to hit the gym 5 times next week. Hopefully I can do it and not let laziness get to me.

Why is time running out? Well, I paid for unlimited 3 months gym and October is my last month. So to make my money worth, I have to use the facilities as much as I can for as long as I can. LOL.. Does this prove that I am a typical money-minded stingy Malaysian?

Stay true

Sad to think she don’t see what I see

But every time she asks me do I look okay

And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you’re amazing

Her lips, her lipsI could kiss them all day if she’d let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy

She’s so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect is what you’re searching for
Then just stay the same

So don’t even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say

When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change
Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you’re amazing

When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change

Boring yet productive

Monday (11/10/2010)...Instead of wasting a Monday, I made full use of it..Woot. Felt like I achieved something.

8.00am - Woke up and prepared lunch
8.20am- Catch the bus to Uni.
8.45am- Reached Uni and read newspaper while waiting for class to starts
9.10am- Pharmacy Practice 2 lecture begins
10.05am- Lecture ended and practical starts
11.00am- Finished practical and went to Gym
12.30pm- Done with Gym and bathed in Uni. Went to meet JY and walk to City West campus
1.00pm- Reached City West library. Ate lunch (2 pieces of bread)
4.oopm- Went to Maccas and grab an ice-cream and JY got a McDouble. Went back to library
6.10pm- Met with YH and went home together by tram.
6.50pm- Reached home. Cleaned up.
7.30pm- Cooked dinner with Nic and YH
9.00pm- 'Chor dai di'
9.45pm- On-ed computer and write this boring post.

Eventhough it's a rather boring day, but atleast it's productive. The day might be long but it is not tiring because I felt I did the right thing thus felt good.

Male vs Female

It got me wondering..Why do female get criticized when they wear low cut blouse and not male when they wear a low cut shirt? Just because females have breasts? Male has chest too. Especially for Asians, when you where that kind of blouse, people tend to look at you differently. As though you were trying to seduce someone or something. But why do guys not get that? Dont you think they were also trying to show off their chest or something when they wear that? What you think?

The above 2 pictures are random pictures I found from Google. No prejudice here but

to simply show as an example on how each gender pull off the low cuts.

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

I am finally done with my Pharmacology and Pathophysiology test. I don't know if I have done enough but I did my best. So it's time to put my focus back to the Commonwealth Games. Woot! Good life lies ahead but that won't last long as finals is just around the corner. Ignorance is bliss?LOL..

Ignore the writing below. I just wanted a picture

to amplify my feelings.

Time for this..Look at that cute tiger. I love commonwealth Game.

This the medal tally for day 4!

I am sorry if it's too small..Can't make it bigger (perhaps its cause I dont know how to).

Malaysia is down to seventh place with 10 medals (3 golds, 3 silvers & 4 bronzes).

Leading is Australia with 69 medals (32 golds, 19 silvers, % 18 bronzes).

Yawn!!

I am super sleepy and bored right now. I dont want to study anymore. But I dont have a choice. I have a test on Friday which is 2 days from now and it weighs 25% of my total grade for this subject(Pharmacology and Pathophysiology 2)..How? Any idea on how to keep me awake?

Methods tried:
1) Listening to songs
2) Dream
3) Continue staring
4) Facebook

After doing all the 4 things mentioned above, I am still sleepy. It's not like I dont have enough sleep but I just dont know why..Gosh.. I know method 2 and 3 dont work but desperation kicks in.

I want to watch Commonwealth Game so badly that I gave in to temptation for the past 2 days. Should I still watch Day 3 of Game?

Btw, Australia is leading now and Malaysia is in Top 5..LOL..Go Oz..Go Malaysia.
Australia is so stong..I've heard the anthem played like 10 thousand times since the opening of the game.

Good Morning

Hey people, its 6am and 4 degrees celcius now and here I am in my room typing on my laptop on my study table, looking at the clear blue sky through the window, listening to birds chirping while thinking of the song 'No Sleep Tonight' by Faders.

I know..you have two thoughts in your head. Why am I awake so early or why am I not sleeping? The latter is more appropriate. I did not sleep at all. What was I doing? I don't know. I was reading and by the time i put down my book, it was 3.30am. But I was still fully awake and alert. So I was thinking, why should I force myself to sleep? Instead of tossing and turning on my rather small but adequate single bed, I rather do something more beneficial. Guess what? STUDY.

I'm studying CNS and it is messing with my head so I thought of just popping something in here. I should get back to my notes and do it till 11am and then go for my long-awaited Vietnamese lunch.

Before that, I think I need to go to the toilet and maybe make myself a cup of Hot Milo.Hehe..Or maybe not.
BRB..

Crazy

David Beckham.


Chace Crawford..


Ronan Keating

Matthew Bomer or 'Neal Caffrey' in White Collar

Channing Tatum

I have a major problem and I am not ashame to admit. I don't know why but I just enjoy looking at handsome guys nowadays. Is it due to hormones or is this a natural thing? Above are the few guys that I find interesting.

1) David Beckham - ever so good looking besides his tremendous football skills.

2) Chace Crawford - his features are so perfect..Love gossip girl because of him.

3) Ronan Keating - never really notice him till now. He's a judge on X-Factor Australia and he looks so gorgeous. Better than he was younger.

4) Matthew Bomer - he might be new to you guys but once you start watching White Collar, you will fall in love with his charm and looks.

5) Channing Tatum - like his cool look and his body.

So do you think I am crazy? Besides, if you notice hot guys too, tell me. Another thing, anyone else that you think can make it to this short list of mine?

*Thanks to YH, I learnt how to look and admire a hot guy's body.*

Tick Tock Tick Tock

I can't believe there is less than a week to October. Sun rise and set. Day pass by day. Months go by and seasons end after seasons. It's spring already and the sun shines through the day and set later in the evening. The weather is getting better. Less damp.

Chatted with Jes yesterday. She just finished her Trials. Flashed back and I can''t remember how we came so far down the year of 2010. I felt like I just talked to her and giving her advice on what might be best for her after her SPM. I felt like I just sent her off to stay in a hostel and being in Subang instead of home. I felt like I just saw her walking in Taylor's College following my footsteps. I felt like I just heard her complaining about the stress level and crazy busy life of a SAM student. I felt like everything just happened yesterday but those events mentioned earlier took place almost 10 months ago.

These are some of the great memories I was privileged to have as a SAM student. Even Jes gona's be over it..These are ages ago..

Darshini and I...

Yee Siew, me and Jasmine

Yee Siew, me, Jasmine and Shalini during prom..My bestie..

The 3 Ipoh-ians in G3. Philip and Rachel.

.

The girls..All in green.

Smile..

The loud and cool big family called G3.

We are almost there before the year ends and it freaks me out. Final exam is in 7 weeks and that is less than 2 months. My trip home will be in 9 weeks and Christmas will be in 13 weeks time. Then we will have to start writing 2011 as the date.

Think I am crazy, but believe it or not, another blink will send us all to New Year.

I am in Love

The Mysteries of Love

Let the title speaks for itself. However, it's not literally but figuratively. Am currently having my 2 weeks study break and life is great..Holiday is the best. Watched a new drama since holiday and I finally finished yesterday.. Lam Fung is a physicist in this series and is super cool and smart. I like the show because it shows me a different side of him. Although it is a little predictable but it's nice to see how science can be related to solve crime cases. Nevertheless, there is also romance in the show and Tavia and Raymond formed a good couple. The most memorable scene was when they broke up. Tavia can really cry and I guess, she really manage to show how women can sometimes be like when they were to separate with their loved ones.





So..Watch it!

Edge Kids

Just some photos about serving in Edge Kids last week. Heaps of fun!


Name tag!



One of the boys made this for me!


They reminded me of how much I had when I was a kid..

These kids are so cute and smart..I wonder being blonde made them speak smarter in some ways? Can you imagine, they were talking about politics..LOL..Anyways, it's a great experience and they just don't stop amusing me..Never thought I would gain so much from this. It was tiring but so worth it..BTW, the most embarassing part was that they are so good at video games and I am just such a loser.LOL..

XOXO.

Mr Right and Mrs Right?

Went to the city library to borrow some books. Bus rides with book to read seems to be less boring and pathetic. LOL..Anyways, went there to get a Cecelia Ahern book but while sitting and reading, this particular book caught my attention. The title is interesting.

Have a read and I promise it would be good eventhough it might be slightly long.

Prologue.

a) Husband Store.

A new store has opened. A Husband Store! There's a sign at the entrance:

You may visit the Husband Store ONLY ONCE. There are six floors, and the value of the products increase on each sucessive floor. The shopper can choose any item from a particular floor, or go up to shop on the next floor, but she cannot go back down except to exit the building.

So, a woman goes into the store. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

FLOOR 1- Men who have Good Jobs

"That's nice,"she think"s "but I want more."So she continues upward where the sign reads :

FLOOR 2- Men who have Good Jobs and Love Kids

She's intrigued, but continues to the third floor, where the sign reads:

FLOOR 3- Men who have Good Jobs, Love Kids and Are Extremely Handsome.

"Wow,"she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

FLOOR 4- Men who have Good Jobs, Love Kids, Extremely Handsome, and Help Equally with the Housework.

"It can't get better than this!"she exclaims. But then a voice inside her asks, "Or can it?"She goes up and reads the sign.

FLOOR 5- Men who have Good Jobs, Love Kids, Are Extremely Handsome, Help Equally with the Housework, and Have a Great Sense of Humor.

Having found what she's looking for, she's tempted to stay, but something propels her to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:

FLOOR 6- You are visitor 42.215,602 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor only exists to prove that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

PLEASE NOTE:

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a Wife Store right across the street.

FLOOR 1- Wife who loves Sex

FLOOR 2- Wife who loves Sex and Are Kind

FLOOR 3- Wife who loves Sex, Are Kind, and Like Sports.

FLOOR 4,5 & 6- Have never been visited.

Sacrifice for Food

Once again! I told myself not to go out just for food but I did it again today. Class starts at 3pm and thus, I am usually home till around 2+ before taking the bus to Uni. However, its TUESDAY! Ikea has promotion for meatballs every Tuesdays. Instead of selling 10 meatballs for $6.95, it's half price which is $3.50! Jia Yin craved for meatballs so we decided to accompany her there! It's not so bad cause then it would be like going out for lunch before class. Right? But..There is always a but..

To get to Ikea, I have to walk to the bus stop which is 10minutes away and get on the bus from there. When we left the house, it was drizzling..It gets heavier and heavier. That was when I started to regret. Why should I get myself wet just for meatballs? Argh..Oh well..For the love of food I guess. Luckily for the good public transport in Adelaide, the bus came on time and we reached the bus stop on time. Did not need to wait and did not need to freeze.

One more thing, we saw a really cute boy today!! His name is Freddié! He is so lovable trying to impress girls. His hair is so nice spiked up. His eyes were so blue. Other than the fact that Freddie is only 1+ years. LOL..My friend actually said 'Freddie is not cute you know..He is HOT'.

Oh well..Ate 1 plate of meatballs, 1 long hot dog and 1 ice-cream for a total of $5.50! Reasonable..Meals that students can afford. And it taste good too!

Eww...

About 2/3 weeks ago, red spots started to appear on my right hand. Only on the four phalanges excluding the thumb. I don't know the reason for that but I thought it was some insect bites and it would heal in no time. However, they did not. Eventually, they looked worse and my fingers started to swell. My housemates said they were gross and adviced me to go seek medical attention. Well, I know I should. As a future pharmacist, I would advise people to go get something for it rather than just simply waiting for it to heal miracuosly by itself. But I was too lazy about it.

Finally on one Friday, I decided to show Madeline(4th year pharmacy student). She suggested that I should take antihistamines and it would be better if it is allergies. If not means it is something else and I would need to go to the pharmacy/doctor.

Today, I finally decided to go to the pharmacy to ask for help. I DONT WANT TO AMPUTATE MY HAND! LOL..Anyways, they tooked a look at it and touched my hands..I am suprised they dare to do that. They told me that it is probably Chilblain and gave me an ointment to apply on it.

From Wikipedia 'Chilblains are acral ulcer(ulcers that affect the extremities) that occur when a predisposed individual is exposed to cold and humidity. The cold exposure damages capillary beds in skin, which in turn can cause redness, itching, blisters, and inflammation.'...



My normal hand


My distorted right hand.. This picture does not clearly
show the severity of my condition. It's far worse than what
you are looking at now.


This small ointment cost me $10.50. That's freakisly expensive

Anyways, hopefully I will be able to come back here soon to tell you that my hand is alright..This pricey ointment will cure my fingers right?

Wish me luck!

One Two Three

In one of the houses in Taman Beauty is the house that belongs to the Yeong family. In this house lived 3 beautiful girls name Tammy, Jeslyn and Candise. They fill each other with loves, laughters and nevertheless arguments. Though they are now parted due to studies, those miles can never separate the bond they share among each other.


I

I miss them heaps!

A Chat

I have been spending time catching up with friends lately. One of them is PHAN AI YEAN! It all began after she left me a rather disturbing message on Facebook. It was written as such 'Sze.. when you gonna come online?! need to talk to you =('. She used the word, 'need to talk'. Doesn't that imply something serious or big? Anyways, move on, once I signed in on MSN, she started a conversation. I asked her what was the matter and she told me she just suddenly thought of me and wanted to chat. That was such a relieve. Nothing has happen or atleast nothing bad happened. We had a nice chat and it was for hours. LOL..During the few hours, I realized that she is turning into a nerd..Haha..So proud of her. She studies all the time and it only proves to me how lazy am I. Pressure on me. Today(Sat) we had our little talk again. It was fun.

She sent me a picture of us taken from High school graduation which was about 3 years ago. It brings back so much memories.. Those days where we would go to tuition together, go for aerobics class together and just eating together.

She makes me feel like going back even more. Then we can have those talk, food and laughter non-stop.LOL

Ps: Ai yean, we should talk more often and continue to be a nerd!

Rather long

Seafood..from Sydney Fish Market. The oysters were so so good.


I like this. But it actually reminds me of China. Taken from the stroll on Bondi Beach


The 4 adventurous traveller

My first time eating Tapas. It was yum yum.

The whole world knows what's this. I finally met with it in real life not in TV..Haha

Those are just some of the pictures taken from the trip last month.

I realized it was really a long time since I posted anything here. The last post was my second week of first sem and this post is written on the third week of second sem. I thought no one ever click on this pathetic blogpage but I was wrong. I went to Melbourne and Sydney during the winter break and it was really nice being able to meet with my friends again. When I met Shalini(friend from Taylor's), she asked me why didn't I update my blog? LOL..I would never imagine that she still visit this page once in a while..Thanks Shal!!

Anyways, semester started and I would say that I am really just relaxing and having a slow start. It's week 3 already but I still watch movie everynight. Gosh..I know it's bad but I just can't discipline myself. Will try harder though. As I was looking at the academic planner day before yesterday, I realized I have a test coming up..I have exactly a week left before that. And on week 5, there is a medication history test. Then, why I am still watching movie? I dont know. I guess, I am still at the holiday mood. LOL..Help me to help myself.

Another thing that bothers me for the past 2 week was this coming summer holidays. The initial plan was that I am going to find a job here and perhaps go back for CNY..However, mum called me the other day and she was convincing me to go home throughout the holiday. I know she started to miss me. It happens everytime about this time of the year. It was the same thing last year. So I looked through but there is still no cheap tickets. I dont know whether to buy now or to wait. What if the price goes up later? Or what if the price is lower then? I hate buying flight tickets. Its so unpredictable. So I ended up not buying and will see if there is any cheaper later. If not, then I would have to starve in order to get the ticket. The thought of going back excites me. How I wish I can fly home now. Like NOW...But this is life I guess...I dont even know why I choose to be out of Malaysia.

I should probably stop now and start studying. I am so screwed.

I promise to be back soon this time.

BYE!

Work with a touch of sweetness

Study table is for studying. Pharmacology..Have to do the reading and answer the questions. Although it is not due any soon, but this week's work must be done by this week (but it's Sunday already...LOL..So it's considering a new week). Anyways, atleast I still have the intention of completing it this weekend. Not too bad for first week of Uni. Laptop full of great movies and dramas is calling me but I need to focus. How can I resist my beautiful laptop which is also sitting comfortably on this wooden table facing me? Solution found. The best thing that can help me now is what you see in the picture above. A Classic Dark Tim Tam. Yummy..Love it so much. This is my first time buying Tim Tam when it is not under promotion. Had been craving for it since few days ago so, I don't bother waiting it to be under promotion. I might have been dead if I were to wait. Not much difference in price too.. So Just buy it...Right? With only 11(i think) in this tiny little thing, I should be wise so that it would last long enough. Seriously, it is the best dark recipe ever.. So I strongly recommend this to you..BUY n TRY!

Got to get back to work...Be back soon.

Must we start like this?

First semester for this year has finally began..Today's my first day and I was left speechless with a big sigh after my last lecture which was Pharmacology. Had 4 hours of lectures today. 2 hours of Pharmacokinetics and the remaining for Pharmacology. WHat can I say? It was a great influx of information like the last semester's first day.. Come on, it's only the beginning and I expect them to give like an intro to the subjects before really starting with the lecture materials. However, lecturers in Uni are all cruel. First year's first semester was the only sweet start. Pharmacokinetics messes my head all over equations and drugs whereas pharmacology messes my head with drugs and their interaction..How can I survive the whole semester with this kind of Tuesday? It's rather depressing isn't it? If you don't think so, maybe you should come and take over my place for once.Maybe I should get used to it since I do not seem to have a choice. Right?? Anyways, it was also today that I realized Dr. David Foster whom will be my Pharmacokinetics Course Co-ordinator is quite good-looking and funny. Those attractive eyes are really charming. However he is too old. LOL..

Class ended at 6pm and my friends and I planned to drop by at Maccas to get ice-cream due to the hot weather. And guess what? Even Maccas doesn't show me some mercy today. The machine is down. How could that be? Don't they know it's gona be sunny today? Argh..

Fyi, Rundle mall is kinda like a happening place in Adelaide but as most of you know, shops in Australia close by 5 or 5.30pm. So at 6pm, we really can't expect anything and that street will have 80% less people compared to working hours. However, today is slightly diferent. Quite a number of people with AC DC T-shirt walking down that street. From kids to young adults to the more mature but not veteran were wearing them. Because AC DC is in town today!! Awesome..May it be a great show!

I think that is it for today..Gota watch a movie to relax my mind..Be back soon!

Missing Them!!!

Boarded the plane back to Adelaide yesterday and had my feet on it's ground this morning. This feeling is so different from last year. Last year was feel with excitement on having an amazing year in this amazing place and being the first time away from home for such a long time. The first night was slightly tough but managed to go through it and from then on, everything was alright.

But yesterday and today, I miss my family even more than before..I dont know why..Maybe because I had been spending too much time with them for the last 2 and a half month..That is a long long time. The week before I left, I wanted to come back to Adelaide so much because I am just sick of lazing around at home with nothing to do. But it was a totally different story on the 26th of February which is the day that I am suppose to leave Malaysia again. It was so difficult to look back and bid farewell. I am afraid I can't hold myself back. But I did it..Walk straight in and board the plane...

And now, being the first day back here, I still miss them like crazy but I guess that's because Uni has yet to start. I bet once it begins, I will need to get into the routine and the crazy miss will reduce..Right?
