Life as a pharmacy student- Part 2



My new toy, given by my uni.
Looks cool as when we were in secondary school, i felt like having one set to play with. But now, they are giving it to us for free, and allow us to bring it to exam..
It shows something..




Molecule structures are getting more complicated to the extent i cant use my small brain in my big head to visualise anymore =.=

Teh Tarik..

My favourite drink at Mamak, teh tarik
But, I will never order u after 9pm, seriously.
When the half of the world where u r at is sleeping already, n u r wide awake, with a malfunctioning brain, I know teh tarik isnt so nice

Hopefully I can run the experiments smoothly later, with a brain that is uncharged and a body with high blood pressure due to lack of sleep =.=

Blood Donation Drive


The first packet of blood I ever donated in my life



I was freaking scared. Really. Luckily i din even remove the jacket from my face when the needle was poked. If not i may hv fainted already.

But, trust me, it wasnt painful.
Donate ur blood if u can! It helps people who are in need!

Earth Hour

Earth Hour.. Do u think this s a good way to remind people to save the earth?
I doubt so.. So far I only heard of people asking each other how to spend that 1 hour in the dark. No one seemed to know the real meaning behind..

I thought of some small small things that every one of us can do EVERY DAY- not only on certain day because of some campaign:
- Avoid using plastic bags
I find it a great wastage when you are just buying a single item that can be placed in ur bag conveniently, or worse, when you are going to use the thing immediately after you step out of the shop, for example an ice cream. Reduce usage!

- Avoid take-aways
When you can just sit in the canteen and enjoy your food serve in plates or bowls, why not? Why bother to pack the food with polysterene and plastic bags? Although they do not seemed to be melting when the hot food is poured into them, but you can never know the toxins released once the chemicals is heated by the piping hot food

- Set your air-con temperature to a moderate one!
I know air-con s a great invention, n i enjoy it too. But why must we set it to 18 degree n make every1 wears jacket or trembling v goosebumps? Just set it to, say, 25 degree, where everybody does not feel hot, and do not feel cold! We are in Malaysia, a tropical country. But sarcastically, but my peers from UK said they actually cant stand the air conditioned lecture halls!

So, please try to incorporate these into ur daily life as a more practical way to save the earth!

公公走了

阿公走了,享年84岁。没有生病,没有折磨,就这样离开了人世间。比起其他人受尽癌症病痛折磨,阿公算是很好命了。
熙熙攘攘的丧礼过去了,尘归尘,土归土,一切归零了。
和外婆留下了5名子女,然后开支散叶生了13个孙,还有一个外曾孙。。
很久没有和表格表姐表弟表妹们见面了。。小时候大家都会一起随妈妈回娘家,然后热热闹闹的玩在一起。后来长大了,比较喜欢和朋友出门,也有不少在外地念书,就很少大家一起去外婆家了。昨天,和大家一起守夜,然后在清晨时和大伙儿一起在外婆房间打地铺,很有小时候大家一起睡午觉的感觉。。
姐姐姐夫没从英国回来,外甥女也没人接过来奔丧,不然就全家到齐了。我一直代表他们三个,"longleng"的时候手拿4枝香。
烧了很多冥纸,还有少不了的灵屋,灵车等,甚至还有公公身前都没碰过的手机,不知道公公收得到吗,会用吗?丧礼很累人,繁文缛节在众人的加油添醋下变得很冗长繁琐。能不能把一切都简化?失去了亲人的子孙还要面对这么这么多的程序,不是应该在人在的时候孝顺就好吗?
无论如何,希望阿公一路好走。。

药剂系学生的生活写照(一)Life as a pharmacist student..

This is one of my dispensing lab experiment. One of the most "troublesome" experiment-- i hope this is the most troublesome one, no more worse experiment pls.. Firstly, groups of three have to produce 8 creams of different concentration of certain type of base. In ONE morning.. It sounds ok since we usually prepare 2 types of medicine in a morning. In fact, it s more difficult! According to intruction, I had to add the water phase "slowly" into oily phase and mix thoroughly. So added in SLOWLY. After around 30mins of mixing, i found that my cream doesnt look like cream. It looks like water with a layer of oil floating on top =.= I asked Dr Morris, he asked me how i made the cream. When i said the word "slowly", he said, do u mean dropwise? i said, no.. >.< ok, i redo..

So i repeat the procedure, adding water-phase dropwise. Drop by drop. Really. After ONE HOUR OF MIXING,i finished adding in all, it looks like cream in some water, n with some oil floating above. Asked lab assistant abt it, she said, well, if u r asking me what to do,i would say "Redo". >.< NO WAY I DONT WANT TO REDO!!

SO i din redo..

Then, we put all the creams into individual agar tubes and petri dish.
Unlucky me had to take all the tubes back home, recording the diffusion rate every 8 hours =.=





I feel like i m a baby sitter who has to feed baby 3 times a day.
After the lab session....


Haiz, still have to wash the lab coat, like washing baby's napkin =.=

客家擂茶





几天前和朋友们去Balakong吃擂茶。这是我第一次吃擂茶哦!以前看过很多次,但是看汤的颜色青青的有点恐怖,所以从来没有吃过。这次在朋友的推荐下,总算吃了。。
这是一道客家菜,感觉上清清淡淡的,有各种蔬菜,豆腐,花生很健康哦!
吃完之后,Jacky说了一句让Lih Chien很担心的话--You will go toilet often after eating this..
我也有点小小吓到,后来Jacky解释说是会让你排便顺畅啦~~
Phew...我还以为吃了会容易腹泻还是上一整晚的厕所呢。。
