sort-of-holiday

Everyone says it's gonna be a long weekend. It's just an additional of one day, which is Monday. Everyone in the pharmacy was really excited yesterday. I was excited because I got home at 5.30pm and went for a jog!!! Jogging makes me happy. =) Bumped into Zee Lin then Lukman. Had a short chat with them. I bumped into them at different time but I chatted with them at the same spot. Haha. Guess that's how small Bentley is. It's kinda fun catching up with friends unexpectedly. Wish I could see more pharmacy students walking around Bentley when I jog. Hope everyone is doing well in their final rotation.

duck duck duck!!!

It's undeniable that my break is all about FOOD! =P Went to Good Fortune Roast Duck House with Yijia. OMG! The business there is so so good. People keep coming in and out. Finally, I had the chance to give it a try. And yes! It's good. Had a great time with Yijia, chatting all the way. Updated myself a bit. You know I'll always support you. =)

buffet at montereys

I just love eating and I just can't stop eating. Buffet is all about eating. If you don't eat much, then it's kinda a waste to go for a buffet. I just love the desserts today. Can't be bothered to take pictures of the food served there. The desserts just look so delicious. Can't take my eyes off them when I first saw the dessert section. Hehe. We left the restaurant with our bloated tummies! =P

toto with ex-housies

I had dinner today with my ex-housies. Missed them so so much!!! How I wished we're still staying together under one roof. Good time to catch up with them since we're all having holidays now. Hehe.

the things to do right after oral exam

Christy called yesterday after my oral exam. Very random. She asked whether we wanna go out for dinner. Yes was the answer! Definitely! So, off we went. Hawker's Cuisine was not bad but the portion wasn't big. We then went to Utopia for bbt and basically just chit chat. A good time to catch up with friends after so long.

For some reason, I just did that.

heaps of thank you!

I just wanna say thank you guys for all the sweet memories. It was a great experience to work in a much busier pharmacy for my 2nd placement. I get to work with a bunch of absolutely amazing people. But everytime we get closer day by day, we'll need to say goodbye at some point. Sad to say that but that's life. I'll be missing all of you. Thank you for the cake, card and gift card. Thank you for what you guys have taught me during my 7 weeks in the pharmacy.

cake from cheesecake shop and gift card for me

Too much of enjoyment this weekend. Probably it's because visit 1 is over? Didn't study at all, which is bad. I had a day off from work on Friday as I had to go for an interview in Hyatt Hotel. I had lunch with my friends in Zensaki. The miso soup was a bit weird but there's a leng zai waiter there. Haha. We then walked around city and went home with bbt from EasyWay. Buy 1 get 1 free is an offer that we cannot resist despite the cold weather. We had nothing in the fridge. No meat at all. So, we bought pretzos back for dinner. I don't really like them though. We then watched world cup together. Who would imagine me, watching football? I hate football but it was quite exciting. So, I just joined in the fun. At the same time, I had some red wine, just for fun.

Saturday is a day for laundry, grocery, chilliz, bbt and some spring cleaning. A too relaxed Saturday. Today is another relaxing day. Karaoke in my room, lunch at Happy Meal and dessert at Baskin Robbins. Enjoying every second of my life in Perth before I go back for good. =) Had 4 hours of nap from 4-8pm just now. I felt bad, like seriously bad. =S Time to sign off again. Have a great week. =)

best email received =)

Dear Student

I am pleased to inform you that you were successful in Wednesday’s Pharmacy 425 supplementary oral examination

Well done and best of luck for the next placement

Kind regards

the end of dds life

Pharmacy is where I started my work experience. Pharmacy is where I earn my first income. Today, it's my last day in DDS. I'm gonna miss the time I had with all the staffs there. 10 weeks are not a short period of time. I had fun working with them although working is really tiring because I had to do everything, basically. I guess that's something which I'll remember for the rest of life. My first ever working experience. I got my first $$$ today not because of my rotation (rotation is FOC), but I worked extra hours to help out in the pharmacy. It's so much easier to earn money here than back in Malaysia. I was so happy to receive the money. $$ coming in after 23 years of living on earth. I feel like shopping after receiving that money. Too bad. I don't have the time. Not like Miss H who always gets her manicure done. =P

Eric (my preceptor who likes to joke around with me) and
Marshall (worked with him 3 days/week, good guy, helped me a lot)

Miri, a Korean girl who helped me a lot
and she's getting married soon...

Esther, friendly and nice.
hope she can survive dds life since it's pretty busy there.

A gift from Marshall and Fu Shan.
Thanks!!! Was really surprised. =)

I didn't get to take a picture with Caroline and Hollie because I didn't bring my camera when they were there. But I'm gonna see them in the next few weeks time. Hopefully, I'll get the chance to take a picture with them. =) DDS people are so nice and friendly. I shall visit when I'm free. Time to work hard on my oral exam. Next Wednesday. Wish me luck and pray that I pass my oral exam!

All I wanna say is thank you. You're such an angel. =)

Thank you. Thanks a lot. A simple message from you really makes me feel so much better now. Thanks for your concern and help. =)

It's Friday and I'm happy. =) But actually, I've got lots of things to do. Assignments, drug list, etc. I wish time could stop right now. Let me enjoy it more, being a happy person when I have to work from 9am to 5pm every day.

=)

i'm still alive

The last time I posted something in my blog was exactly a month ago. That's quite long ago. For me, being at home = being lazy. Home is where I can sit back and relax. I've been eating a variety of food since the day I reached Miri. I just love the food in Malaysia. YUM~ I'll post up some pictures taken in Penang soon, I hope.

Today, I went back to my previous high school for the second time. The first time was to pass my sister's certificates to the clerk to be certified by the principal. The second time was to get those certified certificates back. However, the clerk had not stamped on the certificates yet as she said that the principal told her that she needs to see the original copies of the certificates before stamping them. Okay. So, I drove my mom to the school and followed her to the office. We let the clerk check the certificates and she asked me to stamp all the certificates. How great was that. She thought I was the one who needs to get the certificates certified. It was really tiring to stamp the whole stack of certificates. Then, my mom had to bring the certificates to be signed by the principal. I waited outside the office and watched how crazy can high school students be. I watched how those students behaved in school. Some were really noisy. Well, most of them were. Perhaps it's because it was recess time. So, everyone was like running here and there, chasing each other. They really gave me a headache just by shouting and running around. I witnessed some stupid and funny scenes as well. At that moment, I do miss my high school life. Miss all my friends in high school. Miss those who were so naive and mischievous at that time. Miss the good old days.

Anyway, I think I need to get some sleep now. Need to start my spring cleaning tomorrow for the upcoming Chinese New Year celebration.

first day of 2010

So, it's the first day of 2010. Nothing special. Just stayed at home and watched tv. I'm a total retard in assembling electrical stuff, for example my new fan. I tried to follow the instructions but I just hate reading. Wan Ling helped me with it. We still took quite some time to assemble it. Luckily, we managed to get it assembled. =) I seriously hope that my housemate will get a fan as soon as possible so that we don't have to switch the aircond on that often. Aircond switched on = money flying away.

Before

After

Did all of you have fun last night with the countdown and everything? Me and my friends were just having Domino's for dinner and then we watched the firework display shown on tv before walking to Hsiu Li's place to hang out. We played poker the whole night while eating chips and chicken strips and watched another firework display when it's midnight. Midnight indicates time to go home. Off we went. I was very energetic although it's already past my bedtime. I forced myself to sleep when it's about 2.30am. I still could hear Yi Tyeng and Bel talking in another room. When I woke up the next day, it's already 10.30am. Broke my record. I never woke up that late since I've moved here. Haha. I think my body is so used to having 8 hours of sleep everyday, which I reckon is good. =)

the last morning of 2009

Surprisingly, I woke up at 9 something for the past two days (right after I complained that I woke up way too early for the past few days). I was quite shocked to realise that it was almost 10 when I looked my clock. Maybe I should thank my housemate for not making any noise early in the morning. =P I did wake up at about 7.30am but I slept back since there's nothing to do if I were to get up so early. I slept for more than 8 hours for the last two nights. Haha! Nowadays, I always go to bed at about 12.30am. Why? Just in case I wake up too early the next day, I still have 7 hours of sleep. Smart. It's good to sleep early. Better for your body. Last year when I was in Miri, I went to bed before midnight because there was nothing to do and nobody to chat with. Why is my life always so boring and dead? No idea.

It's 31st of December 2009. The last day of 2009. Malaysians will go for some countdown event while Australians will probably welcome 2010 by clubbing. Their life is all about drinking and clubbing. I would watch the countdown in Taiwan on TVBS every 31st December back at home but this year is gonna be slightly different as I'm not in Malaysia (so I don't have access to TVBS). My mom will usually cook a sumptuous dinner today and then we'll have supper from the leftovers while watching the show. This year, I'll just have pizzas at home and welcome 2010 by chatting with my friends. Haha!

Time to reflect what I've done for the past 365 days in 2009. I don't really know what to reflect on as reflection is not really my thing. Perhaps my studies? I didn't pass with flying colours (but I did pass with credits) solely because I didn't put much effort in my studies. Fair enough. No pain, no gain. I am a procrastinator and I think I'm gonna continue being one forever? I hope not. I shall make it one of my new year's resolutions then. Hehe. What else? What else? Hmm. This is like asking me to crap out some stuff just to answer the question in exam. >.< Let's start with the beginning of the semester. I got a very shocking news that was least expected but everyone around seemed to know about it before me. I hate this kinda feeling. Hate being the last to be informed but shit happens. You can't expect anyone to tell you everything that happens. You just have to move on, girl. No point of looking back and reminding yourself of the wound left behind. Why do you choose to rub salt into the wound when you can actually leave it there and move forward? The scar is always gonna be there just to remind you not to repeat the same mistake again. You'll eventually ignore the scar when it's time. Patience is all you need. =) I shall move on to my winter break. It was really fun to travel around Australia with my friends. Enjoyed the time we had together. That's gonna be my last winter break as I'll be very busy next year. No holidays for me. Next is my birthday. It was a GRAND celebration, I must say. Well, at least for me. Full of surprises. My birthday celebration gets merrier year by year. Thanks to all my besties. Love you all!!! I'm so blessed to have friends like you. Once again, thank you very much! What's next? Oh.. Spring. Spring is a season of love this year. So many new couples started their relationship this time of the year. All the best to you guys. Remember to invite me to your wedding in the future. =) Ok. Let's skip to summer break now. Friends from Adelaide came to visit this year. Chien Yen, Chui Shin, Sze Shen, Adeline and Weina. Hopefully, they had fun in Perth (a boring place). Before they came, I'd been trying to look for a job in a pharmacy but gave up in the end. Those two interviews that I went for were not fruitful. Sad, I must say. But I couldn't do much about it. If I know that I couldn't get a job, I would've booked an earlier flight back to my home sweet home. I'm still going back on 11th January. Sigh~ Being alone in Perth is frustrating. I guess I'll spend my time walking around Perth and take some pictures? Shall see how it goes. Now, it's time for new year's resolution. I don't usually think about it because I just live my life as it goes. Perhaps, study smarter and harder so that I can graduate? Lose some fat by controlling my diet and exercising more? Spend less money on clothes, shoes, accessories since I'm jobless? Complain less as I need to learn to be more grateful? The list goes on and on. I guess that's about it. New year is the time to celebrate a new beginning, a time to wish all your friends and loved ones a happy new year. I wanna wish everyone a double dose of health and happiness topped with loads of good fortune. Let's say goodbye to 2009 (the grudges, sadness, pain, fear and regrets) and welcome 2010 together. =)

Wish I could watch this tonight.

=)

I like the feeling when people offer help without me asking for one. Thank you. =)

all about baking...

The weather is getting hotter and hotter now. So, I've been staying at home these few days. And that's when the baking mood kicks in.

It might not look appealing to you. However, don't you feel happy or satisfied after eating the food made from scratch by yourself? =)

I shall try to find another recipe to make a better fruit cake next time.

We just baked this tonight. The texture is similar to whe ones I had during Chinese New Year but the appearance is not that good. Some are a bit burnt. I shall try to make it again in Miri.

A mug of ice-cream a day keeps you happy all day long. :P

(｡◕‿◕｡)

Result is out!!! And I passed!!!! =) Although I didn't pass with flying colours, I know that I should be satisfied with my results. 6 is always better than 5. So, be grateful, Ling Weng. Plus, you didn't even finished your final exam papers. >.< So, what do you expect?? An 8??? No way man!!!

Had a gathering with a bunch of friends from Adelaide. We went to Northbridge and had dim sum for lunch. They like those dim sum served in Dim Sim Cafe. Then, we stopped by Emma's to get some stuff for dinner. They bought some apple strudels back to Malaysia. I'm gonna get one as well. Hehe. We walked around the city while waiting for Wee Lee to come from airport. He had to take a bus from the airport to the city. Poor thing. Luckily, his luggage was VERY light. I mean VERY VERY light. I've never travelled with such a light luggage before. Lol.

The cooking began at around 7 pm and we started to have our dinner at about 9.30 pm. Lol. Everyone contributed a little tonight. I love the food. I love the people. I love the laughter. I love the dessert. I love everything that happened today. People from Adelaide really make this summer a more interesting one. =) They made our trip to Adelaide a memorable one as well when we went there for winter holidays. They just have the power to make our days a special one, especially Chui Shin. Life is gonna be so different with her around. I really enjoyed myself these few days. Thanks to friends from Adelaide. It's sad to know that we won't be meeting each other anymore. Guess we'll just keep updated via Facebook. That's what stalkers like me always do. =P

To Chui Shin, Sze Shen, Adeline, Weina, and Wee Lee. Have a safe journey back to Malaysia. =)

Margaret River

I went for a road trip to Margaret River last Thursday with Yijia, Chui Shin, Sze Shen and Wei Xiang. Two days + one night. Now, let the pictures tell the story with me adding some captions to each of them. =)

We had breakfast in Vic Park before starting our journey.
Big breakfast shared with Yijia.

We saw a special car plate on our way to Margaret River.
"B ENVIOUS"

We thought that this is the place where they make ice-cream but they only sell ice-cream. We saw this signboard before buying our 2 scoops of ice-cream.

=)

I ♥ this picture

Chui Shin and Sze Shen

I ♥ this picture too.

An art or something?

just ♥ this view

this as well =)

We took this picture while waiting for the rest to get back.

yea. camwhore is what we did.

Our dinner at Augusta Hotel. Yum~

when two hearts come together

We stopped by and took some pictures when we were on our way to Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse.


Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse

Someone was pondering about something.

A tour around Jewel Cave



Yijia fell down and injured her knee after the tour. Not in the cave though.

Next stop. Beach again. Wheee~

Posing time.

Awww~ What a sweet couple!

Looks like a camwhore picture but it's not.

ahhhh~ ♥ this.......

and this.....

Visited a few wineries and this is one of them.

Another winery, The Voyager. Beautiful isn't it??

♥ it....

Our dinner at Dae Jang Kum

We didn't get to finish this. So, they brought it home and I have no idea how they eat it at home.

We then brought Chui Shin and the rest to try out our favourite bubble tea. Easy Way. =) Then, we sat on the grass to watch the movie screened in Northbridge. Yijia was really excited because Keanu Reeves was in that movie. She proclaimed that he is one of her husbands. After spending some time there, we went home. I reached home at 11-ish. Was really tired but I had to drag myself to the shower. Thanks to the smelly korean BBQ but I still had to bath after a long, tiring day.
