Been summoned to post

By MunLi. She was like 'i don't care next time u post'... Lol...

There are a few reasons that I hardly ever blogged now.

1. I don't have a freaking laptop and it's pissing me off cus it's so hard for me to work. Print notes, edit notes, do assignment, transfer photos, sync my phone etc

2. I have limited Internet quota and stupid quota is finishing fast

3. This place is too boring

K anyway, I'm supposed to be studying now but my brain is too tired, and it's on community health so I'm way too lazy n sleepy n tired to study...

Updates of my life:

1. Explored Queenstown n Milford Sound. Short n expensive trip with a lot of traveling. Those two places are reallllyyyy pretty. So pretty that I now think Dunedin is too brown n ugly.

2. So busy these days that I rarely ever gym n yes gaining weight. I now see the importance of gumming or rather exercising.

3. Madly in love with hot chic n muffin now. Buying muffin every other day.

4. This place is too boring that i have nothing to do on weekends. Sien...

5. Had chicken rice n nasi lemak the other day. Reminds Me of home. Speaking of food. I made this long list of food that I want to eat when I'm back.. I'm still adding more food to the list :p

6. I am not liking spring.. So basically I'm not liking the weather yet. But. I must say that I prefer the cold over the heat. Winter, too cold. Spring, mad weather! I once experienced snow, sleet, rain, wind n sun in 1.5 hours!! I was in the clinic n the weather was changing nonstop. It was like watching a movie. But at least, I experienced 'snow'... It was sleet actually. But it made the whole place white... There was 1.5cm thick of sleet outside my balcony. So pretty!! But once is enough. I don't want to experience that cold n Mad weather again. Then, it's hot but windy during the day that it gets too stuffy indoors, but night it's damn cold.. Weather please be nice to me.

7. Im 'collecting' scars here. From cooking oven cupboard bla bla bla. Seriously I have like 3 scars on me now that I don't think it will ever ever recover.

8. The climate here's bad for my skin... I'm getting a lot of pimples. In the sense that this always at least one pimple on me!!! Big pimple... I now have 3 on me. N i have never experienced this bad pimples issues in msia before.

9. My Hair is getting long n bushy n out of shape. I wanna cut it!

10. I like this cafe so much that I think I wanna go back again. Not cheap. Like $16 for a dish but yum yum!!

11. I miss home.

12. Gonna be back in msia in 2 months time.. Can't wait!!!

13. I don't hate this place la. It's a nice place to study. But if I get to choose, I would rather be in a big city.

14. I miss my car so much

15. It's getting hard to type on iPad. So that's all for now. I need to studyyyyyyyyy...

Bye!! And NZ is a pretty, laid back, clean, like post card, and a nice place!! Main point is, I don't hate this place. Haha!!

Updates

I finally have internet for me to update! It had been a long long week for me :( First week of being in Kuala Selangor, being internet-deprived, being disconnected from the city. All we had there was kampung houses, kampung roads, lembu, monkeys, malay and indian food. What more can I say. I just have to endure it for another 2 more weeks! Please pass quickly haihhh :(



So updates over the past 2 weeks ~


The week before I left to KS, dear took me on a makan spree. LOL like what he always say to me 'you are a wai sek mau! keep eating non stop. stomach full till wana burst also still wanna eat'.


He took me for Korean food for the first time! Because I fell in love with Korean food since I went to Melb. Seriously, nothing here beats the Korean food there. Melb has really good korean restaurants. I regretted not going for more before i came back :(



*Bee Won Restaurant @ Korean Town, Ampang*

My first time there. Didn't know such place existed here lo. Haha but I was so super disappointed with the Bibimbap that we ordered. I took 3 mouths and I didn't wanna touch it anymore. Such a disappointment compared to Oriental Spoon. Damn, I miss Oriental Spoon like crazy now :( Other than the bibimbap, the rest were good, so I was satisfied la :)


Then next morning, the darling bf purposely woke up early to take me for aussie style breakfast at Antipodean. We went to fetch Chern from Sun U residence coz I promised to take her there before I leave to KS :)



*Bagel, French Toast, and Big breakfast, with Mocha*

The closest taste I could find that reminds me of aussie breakfast :) It was actually not too bad! Was a happy girl that day.

For dinner, he took me to Sakae Sushi. A girl like me can never get enough of Japanese food. And the bf is learning to love Japanese food because of me. Hehe now he can even fight for Sashimi with me. Grrrr you!!! :P


*Ordered mostly Sashimis! Cause thats my favorite :P*


For our 18th month, he took me to Edo Ichi, for Japanese food again. LoL i seriously didn't know that place was so expensive. Sorry dear :(



*Salmon Mentai, Beef someting, and Chicken Teriyaki*


On Sunday, had KBU gathering. I havent seen most of them for like 6 months already since I left for Melbourne beginning of the year. Only person that I saw was Ah boy and Kah Ling. So it was good to see most of them again :)


And they were all so nice to come over to Pyramid to makan. Cause I was saying that if it's too far I dont wanna go coz the next morning I gotta get up early and pack my stuffs to go to KS, so they finally decided on Pyramid. Thankiew <3 And cause I was lazy to drive, I made Ah boy fetch me. Hehe thankiew la ok! ;P


Had Jap food again. This time at Sushi Zanmai. Haha crazy me. I swear I will stop on my Jap cravings for the time being :P


Dear came and pick me up after that, and he took me to RT Pastry to buy some breads to bring over to KS for my breakfast every morning. So sweet of him :) Then came back home, started packing all my stuffs for KS. And remembered that I haven't ironed all my working clothes, so while I was setting up the iron, the bf came and took the iron from me and started ironing all my clothes. Awww where the hell am I gonna find such a good bf??


I always say to him 'you dont zhong wai (spoilt) me so much can anot??!!'
Haha everyone knows how much he spoils me!! Even nian told me last time 'this Hou spoilt you like gila la. Everything you want also give u!!!'

Which is true. Feel so hang fook <3


Monday morning, I left to KS and started at my new work place, which I will be there for 3 weeks. Klinik Kesihatan Bestari Jaya. My new home :(



The clinic is actually not too bad. We have like 200 patients a day. Can be quite busy on Mondays though, maybe about 300 patients due to the weekends.




2 of us were placed there. Elaine and I. The minute we reached work, they told us, satu depan counter, satu belakang. We were like wtf this was our first time and they expect us to know everything??? First day was hell! We had to observe and learn by ourselves.

The biggest achievement was being able to read doctors handwriting by the end of the day. And also learning to write like doctors. Lol I swear my handwriting on the labels of the medicines is worse than a doctor's handwriting. Just cause we had to do everything fast as there were lots of patients! Prescription came in non stop!!


First day of work, we came back exhausted. And I hated working life of a pharmacist. I told my fren ' I dont wanna be a pharmacist d la :('


On the 2nd day, things got better, as we learned more stuffs, we got to do stuffs faster, and we even started counseling patients :) We learned how to counsel on inhaler techniques for asthma patients, learned counseling for insulin injections. And even saw TB patients!! Apparently there's TB outbreak at that area. Lol I was so scared when I see patients coming in with TB prescriptions. I totally run behind and didn't wanna appear in the front counter. :P


*This is what I do everyday. Take medications according to the prescription and write the labels on the medicines, then pass it to the front for dispensing*


*The view from where I sit and stone everyday when theres less patients*


*And this is the view from the front counter if I'm situated there for dispensing*

Most of the time after lunch, there will be less patients. And I'll just sit there and STARE at the clock, wondering why the time is passing so slow and wondering why the clock is not moving. I'll stare at the emergency department, seeing patients walking in, with 2 toes only, some with 1 leg only, broken bones, lots of open wounds and I will remember why I didnt want to be a doctor. So freaking disgusting I cant stand it!! I try my best not to stare at the emergency department but sometimes its unavoidable because its just in front of our pharmacy counter.


Other than that, I'll be watching malay drama on TV3 because I'll be too bored!!!!!!! Sad life :( Facebooking will also be my favorite pastime. And also gossiping LOL. I guess working there is quite fun as the people there are nice to us. Cause Monash pays them to take us in as students to learn. Whenever we make mistakes, they will never scold us. All they would say is 'tak apa. you slowly belajar'


In just one week, I can memorize most of the brand names of medicines, plus memorize whether it is before or after food. And also memorize the dosage for some. I find this placement much more effective than lectures in uni!! Hopefully I'll be able to make full use of these placements before I graduate!


Patients here are very nice and grateful too :) Everytime after dispensing, they never forget to say 'terima kasih cik' with a smile. Feel so appreciated :) Of course we had some hard to layan patients who would scold us if we're slow. But haha too bad la. Wait till we call ur number la -.-


And its funny whenever I want to go to the toilet and I walk pass the patients waiting to see the doctor because the doctors will be out for lunch break, and with my white coat, the patients will be like 'oh doktor sudah datang doktor sudah datang'. and I will be like 'errr??' Dunno how to respond. Haha so my friend told me, next time before going to the toilet, take our your coat.


On Tuesday, dear came all the way to KS to find me :) Because my laptop died on me the day before. Like wtf I was so heartbroken. Its my baby ok :( He came and brought me his netbook plus my new toy.


*Much easier for me to go online and watch drama on my bed*
Plus I can download medical apps to use in the klinik which is so helpful whenever I'm not sure bout the drugs*

Thanks dearie :)


*He took me for Cendol Bakar for supper before he went home. Theres nothing special about this Cendol. Its not bakar or whatever. Its just that the owner's name is Bakar, thus the name of the Cendol. Felt so cheated cheh*


Then Wednesday after work, me and Elaine were so bored we decided to visit some monkeys at Bukit Melawati.




*You see, so cute!! The orange thing at the stomach is its baby! The baby will cling on to the stomach one!!*

*They are very greedy monkeys. As long as you have food, they will all crowd around you*





After that, we drove to Pasir Penambang, just 10minutes away for seafood.




We wanted to wait to watch the sunset, but unfortunately the sky was very cloudy and it was about to rain, so no sunset for us :(


Friday we had 2.5 hours break, so we went to Ijok, another small kampung area in KS for lunch. Ikan Bakar and nasi lemak. Ikan Bakar was goood! Hehe

Then after work, came back to Shah Alam and dearie picked me up to take me for dinner.



*Dinner at Hungry Hogs @ SS15*
Finally no more Malay and Indian food after 1 whole week of eating it T.T


Saturday, dear came and picked me up and took me to digital mall to get my laptop repaired. Cost me rm300 :( Poor me, but at least now my baby is healthy again :)


Tomorrow back to work. Monday blues. Now I understand. Haihhhh so looking forward to Fridays again. I'm sure tomorrow will be a hectic day.



Thats all for now!
Ending this post with a SS picture of me :P
