IT IS OFFICIAL!!

My holiday has OFFICIALLY started!!! And i'm really thankful for it!! This month has been really taxing and i NEVER had the chance to have my 10-hour-sleep. Anyway, really glad that torturous FMT 1 and FMT 2 is over.

And that....I PASSED my Pharmacy Practice III EXEMPTION EXAM!!

I'm still in a state of



considering i got TWO big fat ZERO in the two previous class tests. NEGATIVE to be exact.

To elaborate how scary this is, it works this way. Everyone starts with 100% and then the marks start deducting. To pass the Exemption Exam we are supposed to get 70% and above.

Everyone is given a set of five prescriptions ranging from doctors and dentists to nurses and vet. There's also those emergency supply from patient or doctor and prescriptions with drug interactions. A lot more types but these are just few of them.

We're suppposed to act like real pharmacists and check if the prescriptions are legal and safe to dispense. For every mistake we get marks deducted.

Overdose -60
Wrong label -60
Failure to dispense -60
Wrong/incomplete dose check -30

and a WHOLE LOT MORE mistakes that gets our marks deducted. The first class test i think i got -20 if i'm not mistaken. And out of 116 of us, less than a quarter got positive for the first class test. And the record so far in my batch was -400!!

So i'm really really shocked when my name was called during the exemption exam feedback. Twenty of us passed, and so we don't have to take the final degree exam paper next monday.=P Congrats to us all.=)

Anyway, this was a long time ago already but just wana post a pic of it. We bought 6 perfumes in London for 30 pounds!hehehe.. Below are just 4 of them. And mine is the 'Devil Wears Perfume'



As a kick start to my holidays, here's a photo of a happy apple..lol... I 'cratfted' it while i was too bored studying.

Dinner Gathering

Brief intro….as all you folks know I was studying in Sunway College before I came to Aus…so there are quite a number of my Sunway college frens who are here in Melb, studying. i mean we did the AUSMAT course so pretty much all of us kinda wanted to end up in Aus, and Melb being the better city (than Sydney =P) most of the AUSMATians all ended up here =D….

this is not our 1st gathering, probably our 2nd and we kinda made a plan to meet up regularly for catching up and makan sessions. Dinner was in Crown Casino (its an entertainment place with F&B, cinemas, arcades, lasertag, retail and the casino…so pretty much the whole lot).

Smash the Bitterheart & Push It like It’s the Sweetest Thing

3 weeks ago, Zing Ang reminded me to update my blog. Cos according to him, I haven’t updated it for 2 months already. Sweat.

The reason of me not writing is not cos I’m damn busy.. it’s just that I can’t think of anything interesting to write.

Just now, I was giving baby links of music videos that I grew up watching. I was exposed to the lifestyle of MTV at the very young age of 11. 12 years later, these are the video that are still in my mind.

U2- The Sweetest Thing

When baby watched this video, sadly he just went, “Huh?” I guess he doesn’t understand what Bono’s doing & the song zzz.

There’s another video which I have vivid memory of. When I was young, my heart would beat very fast whenever I watched the video. No matter how many times I have watched it, my heart would still beat as if I am watching it the first time.

That was Push It by Garbage. Although it was kinda creepy with the whole lightbulb man, naked aliens, children riding on their parents but you gotta admit, it was one heck of a video right. If not, how could I remember after all these years?

After watching that video, then I remembered there’s another video similar to Garbage one. It’s Smashing Pumpkin but couldn’t remember the name of the video till I found it on Youtube. thankgoodnessforyoutube

Baby didn’t finish watching the Smashing Pumpkin video. He asked why my childhood so dark de. Well, I wouldn’t say it is dark but I count myself lucky that I was exposed to this kind of high creativity level video. It takes a lot of thinking of script, the direction, the mood etc to make a video like this. It’s not like everyday people create this out-of-the-world kinda video.

On a lighter note, I guess some of you might have heard her on radio before. Well, I first know about her when I was reading either ADOI or Marketing magazine just couldn’t remember which one. There’s this girl name Zee Avi from Malaysia bla bla bla, she put a video of herself in youtube and people like her singing etc. Later on, she was signed to Jack Johnson’s label baby goes *WOW* but I never bother to youtube her. Until last night. I heard this amazing girl singing, she kinda sounded like Norah Jones. And when the DJ said it’s Zee Avi, I immediately youtube her. Wow, am proud that a Malaysian can sing like that & make it to US.

Okay, I wouldn’t bore you guys with my pointless words, just enjoy it:))

you a dead man… in situations like these


okay, in certain situations in life, my motto automatically switches from something rational to “b’lasah je!”

okay, here’s the story..
i was just reminded of a night back in May..
we were sitting around at Sangria Island..
it was pretty late.. like 2am or so
baby, jeff and i were just chatting away when we saw a guy walking pass wearing nothing but a t shirt..
his ding dong was apparently hanging out (but the guys were pretty mean cos they said there was nothing to ding dong about)

around 15 minutes later baby decided to leave..
so we were walking towards our cars which were parked in front of Life Centre (where old ruums was)
TIBA TIBA
we heared
*sssssssssssssssssssskkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!*
and saw white smoke coming from across the street…
it was a cab doing a mega emergency break as if he saw a massive tree suddenly growing in the middle of the road
i told baby we should go check it out..

as we neared the cab, we saw the half naked guy lying in the middle of the road RIGHT UNDER the front of the cab just centimeters away from the two front tires!
so of course we rush over to help la!
the cabbie was in total shock.. he backed up and was undecided whether or not to stop and get down…
he decided to drive off.. cant blame him.. what a shock if that happened to me!
so since the guy was a guy, jeff and alex went over to him..
i decided to be traffic police..
another guy who saw the whole thing called the cops..

he turned out to be from myanmar and was just robbed..
he really was having the worst night of his life..
cos right after he got robbed by rempits, he got hit by a black Honda (it and run that blardy Honda driver better wish he/she has insurance wait i get to him/her), and then he nearly got run over by the cab!
lucky and unlucky night i’d say…
just imagine if the cab driver was looking else where or was not concentrating for that one second..
that ONE tiny short second,
he’d be dead.

the cops arrived pretty quickly cos there were patrol cars around the area at that time..
they certainly did not mind me directing traffic in my little sexy sun dress and heels…
-.-”
baby and jeff of course kept asking me to stand inside..
tapi, as true as blood is red, our Malaysians made us so damn proud lah!
as i have always said, Malaysians only help with their EYES!
imagine the throng of people stopping or slowing down just to GAWK at him!
i tell you…..
the look on their faces!
HUMPH!
got curious looks, got looks of disgust but STILL looking, got stop and stares…
i pulak starting to panas already..
like HELLO!
GIVE THIS GUY SOME PRIVACY LA YOU STUPID MORONS!
IF HE WAS YOUR BROTHER OR IF HE WAS YOU WOULD YOU MORONS LIKE OTHERS TO SLOW DOWN AND STARE AT YOU WHEN YOU ARE IN SUCH A VULNERABLE POSITION?!

kalau nak slow down, baik lah come down and help!

so, naturally, i was starting to have an impatient look on my face..
and i was constantly using my tiny body (compared to the scene la) to shield the poor guy
if it were a car, i’d purposely walk in front of his face and follow him till he decides to drive off
i even asked some of the guys who stopped to make a circle to shield the guy..
the cops were doing their job so thank goodness.. but they left me alone to jaga this part..

and then there was this SUPER SIAL indian cabbie..
he not only slowed down to look, he was SO obviously gawking and staring at the guy like he was a rainbow coloured alien from candyman land!
i politely gestured for him to drive off as he was also causing a bit of a jam behind him…
he got pissed of that i blocked his way and gestured for him to continue driving!
he actually showed me the middle finger..
but by that time he was already a little way away..
still visible la..
SO I SHOWED BACK LA!!!
that KURANG AJAR MORON!
i turned away wanting to ignore such a jerk…

and guess what he did?
he REVERSED,
openned his door,
and yelled, “EH BITCH! why you show me middle finger?!”
(all these in front of the cops yea… he either had mighty huge balls or had a well connected brother/friend la)
so, naturally, I LAGI LA PANAS!!
so i turned around, stared at him and yelled back with all my might
“YOU BLARDY HELL SHOWED ME THE MIDDLE FINGER FIRST!!!!!!!”

*silence*

everyone was so shocked they didnt know whether to stare at me or at that guy…
and that guy pulak, his look was super classic!
hahahahahahahahaahah
he had this royally STUNNED face like i physically slapped him or something…
hahahahahahahahah…. damn funny now come to think of it..
the cops suddenly sprang into action and Forced him to drive off..
……………. then they all started giggling
-.-”
can giggle summore

and, again, naturally, the ambulance arrived like.. wait for it….. wait for it………….
ONE HOUR AND FIFTEEN MINUTES LATE!
i tell you, at this point i was pissed beyond reason…

they parked… came down..
slowly took their own sweet sunday stroll time to unload,
take this bag out la
take that bag out la
slowly unfold the stretcher la
……..
i tell you, i wait summore i myself will drop dead of old age wei!

finally the two guys came over
and the first thing one of the guys said was (there was a fat one and a thinner one so their names will be FB and TB)
“Eh, belum mati ke?”

o.O

“alah aper sal ni.. takde aper pun… luka pun takde….”

o.O

“eh TB, turn turn this fella..”

O.O!!

me: “eh, cepat sikit boleh a? mak saya pun faster than you!”

then FB gave me a snide look and continued..
they were SO unprofessional!
they were saying brainless things like
“oh s’kit je luka dia.. bukan serious…”
FB could even yell at the guy for an answer…
i tell you, i wanted to SLAP that bugger SO HARD he WISHED he was never born!
hello, that guy is in shock wei.. he looked like he had a concussion!
he barely knew where he was!
he could barely speak english!!
and you are YELLING AT HIM?!?!?!
blardy kurang ajar…
then TB touched the back of the guy’s head and felt blood…
and guess what they did..
cotton pads, haphazardly stuck plaster on, and plastered the thing to the wound..
WAHLAU!
chibai!
i wonder how they even pass their exams?!
lazy i understand la.. but this is… this is…. TOO MUCH!!!

you come LATE
this guy could have bled out
and you continuesly YELL at him
then bull handle him????

&^%$&@^!@&^#%&^%$*^%@^%!@*#%^

ish mak engkau….

i couldnt take it any more…
so while FB walked back to the ambulance to get goodness-knows-what,
i loudly told him
“eh, mak engkau tak ajar ke? that guy might be dying! you not educated a?! use some brains la!”
(yea yea i can be pretty rude when i want to… and mean and irrational…. but who cares)

that was when baby and jeff pulled me away….

-.-”

damn potong steam…
apparently i made enough damage for the night….

hey,
i was just protecting a helpless guy in a vulnerable state..
and knowing me, i’ve got a soft spot for these foreign workers who got cheated into coming here to work only to find out that their passports go missing and they dont get paid…
when you listen to their stories, its sesungguhnya the sad ok…
can cry one!
summore i spend enough time working with these foreigners..
some of them are really kind and nice..
of course, you have to treat them like humans also la!
the ones who treat them like slaves deserves hell as well..

plus this guy looked innocent..
if it were an accident and the victim was a drunk guy/girl, i’d walk away and let him/her suffer cos they deserve every bit of it…
who ask you to drink and drive or drink and walk aimlessly in the middle of the road? self inflicted right?!

oh well…
this is one time i would say that i am embarrassed of our nation’s ‘help-with-eyes-only’ culture.

how sad.
