Done with SPA interview session!

 Finally this day had reached!
This is one of the very IMPORTANT DAY in my life, the stepping stone to my future carrier.
The day that i had been thinking of and preparing for since the starting of this semester.
The "show" which last for less than 1/2 hour but we were doing the preparation all these 4 years!

This interview was carried out by SPA and KKM.

 (SPA= Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam.; KKM= Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia)
2 interviewers were allocated in each room, one from SPA (an engineer) and one from KKM, which was a pharmacist.
The interview session went smoothly, not much difficult questions were asked, only that i have to admit..my BM sucks! i can't even think of the simplest word i ever learned while answering in BM :( so, i quickly concluded my answer to avoid more mistakes i probably will make~ very much space for improvement indeed! i guessed i had too little chances to practice my BM all these years, but i believe i gonna get used to it in future!

Few more months to go and I need to get myself prepared to be a government servant in the hospital!
more challenges coming for being a future pharmacist. Hopefully, all of us can get our job in the hospital and place we applied for! =D
Though the interview session had passed, life isn't getting any easier, more assignments to be coming and final exam will be coming in around one month time~

The first ever Baju Kurung owned by me! Bought and choose by myself with the help of Annie! I wanted a different one which doesn't look like the typical baju kurung so i bought this red & white colour top, matched with a bright pink dress. 

what i must always do before study

it is CRUCIAL for me to clean and tidy up every single little corner before study week
because if i am not doing so, i will end up studying half way and go off to do those tidy and cleaning house chores. So, i rather take some time and do it before i start my revision.
and i learned that a TIDY & CLEAN place is important for me to concentrate and study well!
swept all those spider webs, tidied up my messy room, and cleared the kitchen and living room, cleared the bird nest on my window (Yes, the bird had built a nest on my windows for months and now the baby birds were gone so i cleared them off from the window)
Spent one WHOLE afternoon to clean the house and no, its not done yet, the work had been delayed to the next day because i went out for swimming and dinner then~
Finally.... the house is clean~
sent the printer for repair again this afternoon (the 2nd time in 2 weeks time!!!!luckily it can be repaired and they didn't charged me!if not i gonna spent lots of $$ for the printer again@_@)
and finally, bought some groceries to survive throughout the study week!

semester break a.k.a. study week

its kinda hard to believe that time had reached the mid-semester break! (sem break=study week) and we gonna have Mid-semester exam soon.
But seems like everyone around me are starting to have their holidays and going for vacations! (especially 2 of my best sisters!) And i am now stuck in SP and my house all alone for this week~
i knew badly that its not the time for me to have fun, i shall study HARD! Need to get myself concentrate on my academic and also my soul with me   & start my revision! Some self discipline is MUST for me~
Just attend the short briefing for the coming SPA interview on April, its time for all of us to get prepared for our future PRP attachment in hospital. I wonder how it could be to work as a government servant? since I'll be the first ever person in my family to work for the government. Hopefully i can get my first choice of placement, so i can work in Miri and stay with my family. :)

Class Trip to Alor Star General Hospital

Its a tiring Monday~ 

Guess its because i hadn't took enough sleep

From last Friday night until Sunday night, I hadn't had a proper sleep.

and spent most of my time on the journey to here and there...

After coming back from Perak for the short mission trip at Sunday night, where i had sat in the van for hours and hours until my butt hurts... again the next day I'm spending my time on the bus again @_@

We visited the TPN department and briefed by the pharmacists there for the TPN preparation in the hospital. My eyes almost closed while listening to the briefing....so tired and sleepy!

Left to Right: Bill, Mary & Annie

Don't know where to go.....waiting for the pharmacist

Training days

It's the 4th day of our community pharmacy training, i found it quite interesting and fun. We can see lots of different customers coming, and we met a very funny one today. The patient brought along all his medicines prescribed from doctors and came into the pharmacy asking about his medications. Surprisingly, he was actually categorizing his medicines according to SHAPES & COLOURS of the medicines, and he doesn't look at the name at all, without realising that the medicines were actually the same but different brands. he told us how he ate his medicines (sleeping pills & relaxants). he said: i mix this yellow with red/ white with blue..bla bla bla... and when he saw there were 2 medicines in white and round shape, he said he took only one type because he assume it was the same. *sweat*such a dangerous polypharmacy case but very funny listening him telling his "Theory of taking his pills". Of course, the pharmacist then educate him about it to clear his doubt.More shockingly, he wanted to order 1000 sleeping pills!!!!! crazy man! of course that is against the law, so he only get to order for maximum 100. His logic behind the 1000 pills was because he swallowed a lot of sleeping pills every night to sleep, and he said " 100 only so little, after 2/3 days also finish then HOW?" *faint* i can see the need of patient counseling is so much important! 

Anyway, tomorrow is finally a holiday so we can off for a day :)

My appetite is coming back gradually after i got sick, at least now i can feel the hunger already~

Hopefully my sleeping pattern can turn back to normal too, feel so terrible on insomnia nights.....which forced me to stare on the ceiling and made those unwanted thoughts popped out in my mind, further worsen the insomnia....@_@

exam dilema

Finally dread through this deadly week of exam week, one more week to go!!! its not easy at all, especially when you dont have your mood there and you dont care anymore about the so called "target" which was set at the starting of the semester. after attending each exam paper it was like a nightmare because so much questions were left out blank, i meant really BLANK because my mind is blank and i don't know anything to write and there is no stories to be told because i left out those part in my studies as i dont have enough time to study, poor tiny brain i got. *prayed hard that i can pass all the subjects so i dont need to retake exams*

its coming to the end of semester again

sleep deprived.....
endless VIVA EXAM
and in a blink of eye its study week! WHAT??? ITS ALREADY REACHING STUDY WEEK!
3 more weeks and i'm gonna say bye bye to year 4 sem 1,  i could hardly believe it and i dunno where my time had gone all these while~~
*TGIF* I can finally take some rest at home for the weekends.

handling the stress

Too much of stress and work recently
had being rushing for everything to be done in time, assignments VIVA, test, reports, presentations.....
at times, i felt that i don't even have the energy to talk after attending the lectures the whole day and came back with the burden of all those uncompleted mission awaiting for me to complete them one-by-one.
However, God's blessing is great, i didn't realized that even how stress i felt, i had went through this week and Today is already Thursday! :)
Had my Hospital attachment clinical case presentation done yesterday. Thanks God its OVER now. i knew i hadn't have enough time to prepare well for it because i only got to knew on last Friday that i was presenting on this Wednesday, and i went for LifeGame Camp from Friday-Monday, which means that i have NO TIME to prepare at all, everything was done in a rush, i didn't much time to study about the case, the ppt slides was not done by me, i only contributed for editing the slides background here and there....felt very sorry to my partner because all the time he was doing most of the preparation work, and very thankful for him that he already studied for the case and willing to share the information to me. Even though we were not doing that well, but i', glad its over, at least i don't need to suffer for so long because the next presentation date will be on 21st Nov, its after 2 more weeks and near to exam already!

I actually wanted to cut my fringe at CS yesterday night, but then i hairstylist i am looking for was not there, so i decided not to cut my fringe first. But today i heard that Annie also wants to cut her fringe so i decided why not i also go with her to get my hair cut today, so both of us went to the salon straight after finish our lectures at 4pm. We went to De-touch, and  this was my very first hair cut in De-touch actually after staying in SP for so many years~ didn't cut too much, just get my hair trimmed a little bit so it doesn't look so heavy and dull. :) yaaay its Friday tomorrow! weekend is coming again.

STRESSED
i realized that i get stressed easier than before since this semester
final year isn't easy as i think
i need to be brave enough to face it and let the stress influence me positively rather than letting me down.
@_@
few more weeks to go, its just like when i blink my eye and its already reaching the Final exam week~~get stressed for everything

clinical pharmacy training

My group was assigned to do clerk case today, luckily the pharmacist who guided us this afternoon didn't asked us too much of difficult questions, our task was quite simple compare to other groups.....so i gotta prepare harder before my turn to rotate to those more difficult clinical practice. here it starts the life of doing assignment again, we get our 1st assignment this sem, many more to come@_@
after clinical training, almost the whole batch of our class went to Ramadan (again*this is the 3rd time i went in 2 weeks time), and met AMCF friends! Dixon, Li Long, Constance and Xuan Xuan! They were buying their dinner there too! i didn't bought much food because most of the foods were not so healthy, and i am trying my best to cut down those unhealthy foods in my diet now, since i haven't start cooking my own food recently and ate outside almost everyday. i'm looking forward for the one week Hari Raya Holidays! woohooo~~~~not sure whether it is one week or only 4 days? hopefully the faculty will make Friday as a holiday for us! :)

starting the 1st clinical pharmacy class tomorrow in general hospital

i am nervous now because tomorrow will be the first day we need to go to the general hospital for clinical pharmacy training. And i think i don't know anything.
What i had learned in previous years was too much for me to remember since i got pea size brain. :(
so i took out my pharmacology 1,2,& 3 notes from deep inside the box where i kept all my notes inside, and wanted to have a glance of it, this is the only thing i can prepare for i guess.... but it was too much, its impossible to go through the whole stacks of notes in one night~

i am gonna sleep earlier now  before 11pm, and pray that i can wake up earlier tomorrow morning to put some effort to go through some of the drugs name and uses. i wonder since when i get so hardworking and tell you i didn't even watch PPS now because i told myself i should quit watching so much of TV shows when i got so much things to do in my list!!. Good night people!
