I almost forgotten the most-est important bit!

WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE LAH! MY GRADUATION!

Promised parents to have breakfast together in the morning and couldn't get them on the phone until about 10-ish and I have to get back to dress up and make up, etc. (What a start!)


Was the last one to leave the flat and I wasn't at all ready and prepared yet (I learned my lesson)


Parents reached and we adjourned to the venue!



In the hall getting ready to be dressed on! (Sobs, excuse my swollen eye)



Wearing my robe, walking across the stage and getting my certificate was the one moment I've waited for 4 long years, and now, it's over. OVER.




Dedications


Daddy, you've been a great support and role model in my upbringing and I thank you so very much for that. Without your morale and financial support, I wouldn't be where I am, what I am and how I am today. I can't thank you enough for what you've done and given me. As you always said, "Always aim sky high, even when you hit the tree top, it's better than ground zero". For the crazy times, laughing times, swimming times and all of the times in my 23 years of life, 


THIS IS FOR YOU, TELLING YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU!
May the Lord God bless you abundantly always, now and forever. 



Mummy, you're always keeping check on me especially on how much vitamins I've left! You're always the worrying one, on how I'm doing, can I cope or not, do I eat well or not, do I have enough money or not...all of your 'or not's'. You never know how much that left an impression on me, knowing that someone would always keep check of me that I'll be in the best of health and well-being. Also comforting me on issues that I normally wouldn't discuss with others because you have the experience and your advise means so much to me. For the times you quarrel with me, for the times you stood by me, for the times you stuff vitamins to me, 


THIS IS FOR YOU, TELLING YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU!
The Lord bless you and keep you, and be gracious unto you.



Sister (Nie), you've always been a sweetheart for all I could remember. You're always a great companion in many ways! Shopping, chatting, gossiping, doing our hair, putting on make-up, you name it, we've done it. Sisterly love, we call it. You have always keep me in check in my religious and spiritual life, looking at your facebook status gives me the courage to continue believing despite difficult circumstances. I don't recall the times we're small but I know I have bullied you a lot! Oh good times right? Without that, we wouldn't be what we are, how we are now. Looking at the big grown up you, you always have this soft baby side of you, being the youngest. For the times you're a pain in my ass, for the times you've given me encouragement, for the times we had sisterly chatting sessions, 


THIS IS FOR YOU, REMINDING YOU TO CONTINUE TO BE THE BIG BABY OF THE FAMILY!
May the Lord bless you and take care of you; May the Lord be kind and gracious to you, May the Lord look on you with favour and give you peace.



Brother (Ben), it's a shame you couldn't come but we know you're near. You're the strong headed guy, taking traits from grandpa and daddy. Looking at how much you've grown up, you improving as a person and taking up responsibilities which you wouldn't last time. Seeing you taking charge of situation gives me the security that you can protect the family from come what may. You're always the one supporting me, giving me the sense of being the younger one but when reality strikes, I know I have to protect you in return. Despite being the tough guy you are outside, we know the soft side within you. With me being far away, I shall pass the baton to you to look after the family and that said, I know you will without needing me to say it. For the times you cracked me up, for the times you protected me, for the times you are my younger brother, 


THIS IS FOR YOU, TELLING YOU HOW MUCH YOU'RE BECOMING A YOUNG FINE MAN FROM THE LITTLE BROTHER I KNEW!
May you be made strong with all the strength which comes from his glorious power, so that you may be able to endure everything with patience. And with joy give thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to have your share of what God reserved for his people in the kingdom of light.




Daddy, Me and Mummy


Everyone except Ben : (

Dilemma

Eyeing between the left one and the purple one. 
Question: Which?






Monday 22 August 2011

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and SUNDAY again!

Blogging from work now since it's lunch time =D

Chatted off with Linda while having lunch at Wetherspoon and we had to whisper quietly before some stuffs are confidential : P 

Went to the Baptist church yesterday and boy was it pretty empty!
Oh gosh, when can we find the right one : (

On a cheerful note, we found the perfect gym to go to! Hitting it for the first time this Saturday! It's time to sweat : ) (Not that I want to but I have to since I'm starting to gain some weight!)


And since it's the weekend, a little pampering to my face would be good!


Using: Kosei Mask White
A really good product if you ask. Leave it on to dry and peel off after. This leaves my skin so clean and supple!



 Lastly, pray for my Visa approval letter! I hope it comes in the letter box by this week! *fingers crossed*

Part and parcel of life..

Love it or Hate it, there bound to be things that as much and as hard as you try to shake them off, they just stick and cling on to you like a leech (Douche bag!).

However, in my life encyclopedia, there seems to be a proportionate compilation between Love it and Hate it. 

I'll be positive and start off with Love it first.
Since young, I was blessed with parents who didn't scold nor 'rotan' (whack) me, and siblings who are a little nuisance to me AT THAT POINT OF TIME because we were all so young. But I love them all and they love me too despite, well you know, every individual has their difference even you're from the same parents!

Then, I grew up and enter school and college and made friends whom I forgot (those in Kindergarden) and those whom I remember dearly (MGS girls, MARA (MRSM Beseri) friends, University College Sedaya International (UCSI)). I'm thankful that I have them on my friends list in Facebook and how sometimes random meet-ups happen (mamak stall, MidValley, etc), sitting around gossiping, play with make-ups, walked pasar malam (nightmarket) and shopping together, trying on clothings together, etc..

Then I've got boyfriends. When there's a start, there's also a finishing line. Be it at the grave or whilst alive. Relationships had taught me to be a cautious person, to give and take, a forgiving person and despite how much you can change for one person, you'll still be who you are, be it rebellious, or stubborn or maybe just that sweet little girl. Also that no matter how elated you are, or how deeply hurt you are, your family is always there for you. Never be 100% sure that everything would last forever, unless well..you are ready to place everything on stake, mentally and physically.

As age creeps up, I went into University. Pfft, that was a pain as well. Had some trouble entering into UCSI, applied for AIMST but they rejected me, entered Cyberjaya University College of Medical Science (CUCMS) and soon got my offer letter from Nottingham. I hesitated for about a week as I've started lessons in CUCMS but eventually, I went to University of Nottingham. It was a wise choice definitely, what more my tutor is the head of Pharmacy department. I am grateful to my dad who had accompanied me for a week in Cyberjaya until I made my decision, giving me advise and moral support to head my future. Staying with my 'family' friends was indeed the best experience in University, and getting to know someone who has taken care of me well throughout this period.

To Qi Hua, Wai Xin, Kar Lai, Mei Kee, Li Ping and Gideon - You guys have been a great part of my life. Staying together, car pooling together, random night outings, wardrobe barter system, gossiping, walking/ driving to class together  and cooking together..These would be remember for the rest of my life.     

Entertainment wise: HELLO! PARTY is here! Parties are like the YES thing while in University and so I had went to aplenty and I totally enjoyed them. OH HOW I WISH I CAN STILL PARTY AT LEAST ONCE EVERY TWO MONTHS! Halloween, Christmas, Freshers, Chinese New Year, Traffic Light and so many many more! Letting all your worries off just for that one night is totally worth it.

Now, I'm a graduate with a 2:2 MPharm degree, doing my pre-registration year with Knights Pharmacy and hopefully in a year's time, I would be a fully qualified pharmacist! Also, my first pay - KERCHINGSS!

Ending with Hate it.
Thanks to my parents that since they did not scold or 'rotan' I was a toddler, I went all my way out, to the extent that I've even swore (Damn...). Now that I'm a mentally capable to think adult, guilt is killing me as to why, why, why had I said those words and my parents just listened but not do anything. That's how much they love me and how much I regretted for being such an asshole and a spoiled brat. Well, there's nothing to hate about with my siblings because there are bound to be bickering between us.

School's where I've met my network of friends and socialized. There's definitely nothing to hate here! Well, except for some undisputable matter. Hmph, we're all born different right? But still, don't think of yourself too much and do what you think because it might just end up is a mishap.

Relationships....For those who've married your first love, well, congratulations for not having to go through the pain and gain process. Nonetheless, it would be great not to experience such state cause it wouldn't be nice. Being in several relationships, it does make me appreciate future relationships more. I do cherished the moments we had, how tolerate-ful you were, and how sometimes we get along so well. Despite that, no relationships are complete without quarreling, which I didn't like at all. But guess what? This is bound to happen no matter what. Lols! So live with it, get cross at each other for a few moments (don't make it too long!) and patch up in a bit!

Hmph, what do you hate most about studying? One word - EXAMS. Period. Grueling years of studying and projects and posters are some of the definite tasks you'll need to deal with so, what can I say? Get through it, and be done with it. Time did pass by quickly and on my graduation day, I reminisced the process of growing up from a 19 year old to a 23 year old me. From a teen to a lady. From not knowing anything to growing knowledge. It ends sooner than you expect it to be, stay strong and be EXAM-lified!

Now that I'm working, I realized that the responsibility that needs to be shouldered becomes significantly heavier. I'm in charge of what will happen to myself and this means, I need to be more proactive and comes up with ideas to supplement myself. I need to have these drugs names in my head so that everything that's needed is at my fingertip. For this to happen, I'll need to chew down the British National Formulary (BNF) slowly, not swallowing it so that it absorbs well into my system. Keeping up to date is such a pain in the ass! But don't get me wrong, I do enjoy what I'm doing ( :

I wouldn't hate parties! I would jump to one if there is one now! Boozing, dancing, dressing up and enjoying the night with friends is what I totally need now.


In a nutshell
Did I sum it all up nicely? Yeah, so that's my life story pretty much. I truly hope you have more LOVE IT than HATE IT in your diary so to say, because you'll be a happier person nonetheless.




Cross my heart, I love you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you and you!

As they say...

Customers are more vile and bad-ass up at this branch. Having been there for only 2 days, there definitely is a difference between customers at different areas.

Last week, HAT came in with an out of date pack of medication and because there was a queue, HAT was not served yet. We apologized for that casualty but HAT yelled that HAT will bring this matter to the police if we don't give her a new pack. However, HAT has an appointment with the doctor in the surgery opposite and kept talking loudly that there's an appointment and this and that. HAT came back after a while and complained that the appointment was missed but HAT was not back for almost 30 minutes! Matter was solved with the ever so professional pharmacist in charge and hopefully HAT went back home happily!

This week, UGG came in with an owing note and the medication was ready in the collection box. UGG was not very happy because the pharmacist says that they'll call when the owing is made up but because the pharmacist in charge that day was not at that branch when the replacement pharmacist made it up, no phone calls were made and that made UGG really angry. UGG stood at the counter and wanted an apology from the pharmacist so the pharmacist went out and apologized for what's happened.


It was all a communication problem but yeah, lesson learned. 


I'm liking my job  ( =

Interlaken


I didn't really know what else there is in Interlaken other than the famous Jungfrau mountain, accredited as World Heritage Site. Because of the cost that ensues, we followed the advise of our hostel receptionist to go up Schilthorn instead. But still, it burnt quite a huge hole in my dad's wallet! Lols..

Took a bus from the train station to another train station, which brought us to Lauterbrunnen. The view on the train was MAGNIFICIENT. Me and my sister went, WOW, LOOK, WOW!




Guess who's behind? Helicopter and Jungfrau as a background! 


Little moo moo on the loose!


It's the freshest water you can ever get on earth. Drink and be healthy =)


My little red bench =P



Continue to tale a cable car up again to Birg and lastly, Schilthorn.


It was about +9 Celcius but it was very windy so it was very COLLDDDDD~


My dad is superman. He said not cold and I went speechless -.-


Took the cable car down to the other side where the village is.


And to visit Trummelbackfalle!


Sunny and warm outside <3


S**T! Si beh cold inside here! Glacier water, almost 0 degree celcius running through the mountain!




This is called the cockscrew fall!





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interlaken West

Walked and hang around the town area the next day. And I has a swollen eye =(





Interlaken was a nice, quiet and peaceful place. It's definitely worth a visit!
