日出。。

在泗水Surabaya MountBromo看到的日出


原本冰冷的手心，渐渐温和了起来。
是因为晨曦？还是因为你的陪伴？

日惹Yogyakarta我来啦！

明天我就要从新加坡起飞到印尼日惹了！
还没启程之前我先要感谢爸爸妈妈出钱让我自己一个人去玩，还有要谢谢答应照顾我的吃喝玩乐的William,Wee Pang, Hema, Yoke Yan, Malina bla bla bla bla~
还有舅舅舅妈让我借住一晚让我明天来得及到机场。

上网定了Air Asia机票，来回总共马币约RM280。
换了一些印尼盾，兑换率在我换钱的前几天忽然变很多，印尼盾起马币跌，还我亏了一点点。。

无论如何，祝我旅途愉快啦！

大一成绩！！

今天我的成绩出炉啦！

其实我都忘了今天成绩揭晓。这样也好啦，让我少了一些紧张，只有在昨晚赫然想起成绩时才开始小小紧张。
早上起床紧张了一下下就打去大学faculty office问成绩了~

我：Hi, I am KaiYee. Can I get my results from you, Dr XXXX?
Dr: Sure! Please get ready your pen to copy the results.
我：OK
Dr: Oh ya please get ready your tissue box.
我： What?????!!! (不要吓我~~~~）！!@#$^&*(()*^&%#
Dr: Hold on ya, I am opening the envelope

Dr: Erm...
我：（紧张）？？
Dr: How can I be sure that you are kai yee?
我：（sweat...)u want my IC number?
Dr: Haha, jz kidding
我：（我一点都没有想笑,eh please la我很紧张好不好！！）
Dr:Ur marks are bla bla bla bla bla (跟你们讲module code你们也不知道我在讲什么啦~） Average is XX

我：Thanks!!

成绩还算满意，只是还是希望可以多一点点~~

Dr XXXX,你给我记住！第二次叫我准备tissue了~（虽然上次的成绩真的有点需要tissue。。）
Master of Pharmacy, Year 1,成功！

中医，西医

身为一名药剂学生，我知道所谓的西药是用怎样在人体起作用，比如治疗哮喘病的药物salbutamol是怎样通过一些特定的receptor来扩张气管，舒缓哮喘的主要症状-呼吸困难。我对于集合各种天然药材来达到药效的中药却不甚了解，却也最中药深信不疑。

小时候身体差，尤其是肺部常常出小毛病，咳嗽咳到呕吐，半夜因为喉咙痕痒而辗转难眠，眼睛周围也出现了一大圈小孩子不应该拥有的黑眼圈。妈妈带我到处看医生，神明说我只是肺部不好，需要好好照顾。甚至有一次半夜紧急送院，医生说我哮喘，花上千元都不见起色。直到有一天，爸爸的一位朋友介绍一名中医，不停的吃中药加燕窝泡参调理，我才渐渐强壮起来。可是，那些花花草草是怎么把我医好的，我也不知道。。直到现在，我一咳嗽，吃的也是中药，泻肚子时第一个想到的也是中药宝济丸。话虽如此，我相信最好的治疗是中西合璧！

听senior说他们在year2时有学到natural products,可是我们明年不会学到了，因为课程有所修改~真不知是幸还是不幸，因为这是一门很难很难的学问，senior们都是"问natural product色变”！

希望有一天我可以成为一个对中药西药都了如指掌的药剂师啦！

新家！

很快的~一个学年过去了（“年”好像不是很恰当，因为我一年之上不过8个月课，虽然学费好像是一年上24个月酱~）
住了九个月的贵房间，我搬到一间和朋友合租的排楼。四个房五个人，客厅饭厅家具还算蛮齐全的，只是少了微波炉和清洁工人帮我打扫客厅饭厅和厕所=（可是想到一个月可以省下一笔钱，打扫就打扫啦~

搬家时的壮观画面-真不知道什么时候多了这么多东西 =.=


客厅-那些洗衣机啊盒子啊是朋友寄放的




房间



厕所-我人生中第一个得要我自己洗的厕所。。。。


厨房


我还蛮满意我的新家，现在只差internet和。。。。洗衣机，如果有的话最好啦~本人觉得洗衣机是一个很很很有用的发明！

Dont Complain If You Find Your Drinks Tasteless....

Customer A: Excuse me, can I know why my Ribena tastes the same like plain water?? And the ice is so coarse! I want a replacement!


Waitress: Sorry Ma'am, it is already stated clearly that your Ribena is going to be BLANDED, not blended.



SWEAT =.=

无聊事。。。

从朋友发来的email转载过来的。。
真的是觉得自己曾经很无聊~~

放松一下，生活中18件傻傻的事情，你做过几件？

1、用手插入米缸的米里面插来插去/玩来玩去--不是每个小孩子都喜欢这样做的咩？
2、地下有阶砖时，特意隔一格一格来走（不可走过界，要完全在格内）--到现在我都还偶尔会这样做
3、用镜面等反光物品反射阳光，照来照去--没有
4、铺张纸在硬币上面，然后用铅笔在上面描，描个形出来--小学美术老师教的 =.=
5、吃完瑞士糖（Sugus）之后，将糖纸包回原本四四方方的形状出来--哇~我的手工没那么好
6、超级市场踩着购物车行走--没有
7、贴张写着“我是白痴”等等的纸条在同学的背后--这个，我常常做
8、拍别人左边 站在别人右边--duh..我的爱好咧~
9、踩别人的影子--没有
10、丢别人门口的拖鞋下楼--我还把室友的鞋藏在花丛里呢。。
11、下楼梯时坐在扶手上面滑下来--没有这么勇敢=.=
12、在电梯(Escalator)上往相反方向走--有啊，晚到给MRT station的保安骂
13、用萤光笔(Highlighter)油指甲--没有，丑到~~
14、下雨用伞，总是故意地转那把伞--好玩嘛~
15、对着镜子学跳舞／演戏／唱歌--谁不是这样练习的？不然怎样上台表演啊？
16、在街上见到狗就扮猫叫，见到猫就扮狗吠--没有，我只有看见猫扮猫叫，等猫看过来的时候，假假刚才不是我叫的
17、下雨的时候,拿起伞故意往雨大的地方走去 听雨啪啪的声音 感觉很爽--爽啊！
18、玩家电包装里的那张有很多泡泡的塑料膜,把泡泡一个一个按破--呵呵，好玩呢。。

看完了这边文章，肯听让你笑着对自己讲当年有多傻。哈哈哈。

我。。。
原来。。
很傻。。

而且不止当年而已，现在也还是这么傻

我要嫁给你！

我很小的时候，姐姐有一位男生朋友，妈妈常常会在载姐姐的时候顺道载他一起去补习。
这男生长什么样子，说话声音等我都忘了，只记得他住在靠近十字路口的一间小店屋里面。他有一件红白线条的衣服，常常会在车上和我聊聊天。因为姐姐大我很多岁，所以当时的他对我来说是一个很大，很大的哥哥。
不久之后，就听说这哥哥到外地念书了。
经过了这么多年，对他的印象，几乎是被岁月洗脱得完全消失了。
只记得，这个哥哥很好，我很喜欢他。

直到3年前（哇原来都这么久了！），我到新加坡念书时，通过姐姐的friendster才发现，这位哥哥是我的学长！原来他当年也是得到奖学金到我的初级学院念书！当时他也在新加坡工作，我心想，就算她出现在我面前我都不会认得他啦。。

姐姐开玩笑的告诉我，怎么样，现在人家好像也不错酱，要不要履行你当年的诺言？
诺言？什么东东？
这时，姐姐才告诉我，我小时候竟然很厚脸皮的告诉这位大哥哥，我长大以后要嫁给他！

我的天啊~~~~~~~~~~

原来我小时候这么恨嫁的！

不过，小孩子就是这么可爱。
“喜欢他就和她结婚吧！” 好单纯的想法。

我还可不可以这么单纯呢？

p/s:校庆要到了，老同学都在召集一起去参加校庆晚宴，不知道这位大哥哥（现在可能是uncle了）会不会也出现呢？

在网上看到很另类的结婚照，和大家分享~以后我结婚也要拍这样的结婚照！

喜欢

你许因为一个人说话好听而喜欢上他吗？
小一点的时候，可能会。
会因为某某学长还是某出色的辩论员说话好听，有震撼力，有说服力而仰慕他，
可是现在，如果有人问我这个问题，我会回答：
不会，我会因为喜欢一个人而觉得他说话好听
会因为喜欢一个人而觉得他帅，好脾气，幽默，有责任感


可是，会不会有一天，因为不喜欢了，而觉得他说话不再动听了呢？
这样，会不会好过他说话不再好听了，然后我让我不喜欢他？

华文学会

离开了PharmNotts,我竟然成了诺丁汉大学中华文化学会的副秘书。
整个中学生涯我都沉浸在华文学会的各种活动，什么辩论话剧诗歌朗诵有的没的，不然就是星洲日报学生记者队，甚至到了新加坡我都活跃于华文广播，和华文华语中华文化都脱离不了关系。

很希望华裔子弟能珍惜华文，发扬文化。虽然我书法写不好，虽然我象棋棋艺不强，虽然我的创作难登大雅之堂，但我希望自己能出一份力，至少能让华人知道并爱惜自己的根。但很惭愧的，我想要放弃教华文班了，因为来的人多数是贪新鲜贪好奇的非华裔，出席率很差，我这个半桶水老师已经江郎才尽，实在无能为力，不知道要怎样才可以吸引学生出席每一堂课。所以，希望新来的老师可以注入一股新动力，继续推广华文！

不知不觉我的大学第一年即将结束，又是准备考试的时候，又是我发点小神经的季节。。不敢奢求太多，只希望平安顺利过关。

各位，加油啦！

When everybody is emo..

Haha.. we were not really emo la.. merely..


Acting.

Next month, this date, i guess i wll be emo then =.=
EXAM TIMETABLE IS OUT!!

杂记

终于决定下个sem的住处了。之前考虑了很久，很多因素要考量：安全，价钱，屋子状况，屋友，距离。。。。
用删除法决定了！会住在一个比较远的地方，走路去学校会很远，所以我去学校的方法如下：
1.学校的shuttle bus-miss 掉的话我就有很堂皇的借口可以逃课了
2.骑脚车-妈妈说“不要跟我买脚车然后踏去学校har!!”,ok,我不买，我租就好
3.搭nick的顺风车或者yinjen的顺风摩托车-天公大伯公观音圣母请保佑我的时间表和他们的一样！

aiyoh..逆来之则安之！船到桥头自然直！反正我又不是那种睡觉会睡不醒的人（应该吧。。）

教了2个sem的初级华语班，本来一开始还兴致勃勃的，结果教到最近有点sien掉。。
学生出席率低，上头又没有帮我们co-ordinate好course material等。
下个sem我还要不要教下去呢？犹豫。。。

最近常常出外吃饭，感觉上不是很健康，外头的食物很油腻，少蔬菜，多味精。
希望自己可以勤劳一点常煮晚餐啦~
不然当药剂师当到老来自己变药罐子就不好了~

Life as a pharmacist student-- 3

Any idea what molecule is this?
This is actually ascorbic acid molecule, which is more commmonly known as Vitamin C
It looks like a fighter, doesnt it?
So, people, eat your VitaminC-rich food daily and boost your immune system to fight against diseases!


Oops, am I playing my role of "educating the public" a bit too early?

Japanese Idea

After dinner at Sungai Long, my friends and i went to a unique shop called 100yen. It is an outlet that sells stuffs imported from Japan, all (if not, mostly) priced at 100yen, which is RM4.90.

We were fascinated by many items in the shops. Japanese ideas are really... sometimes brilliant, sometimes funny...



Banana rack-- come on, do u need a rack just for banana? Cant you just hang them on a nail on the wall?

Next, this s even worse. At the first glance, I thought this is part of lion costume or mask for Halloween- but wait, have you ever seen a lion with blue mane?



Answer:　A shield that prevents the shampoo from dripping to kids' face when they wash their hair.

What a.. brilliant/funny invention~!

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。。

一人做事一人当！

各位，相信你们都听过“一人做事一人当”这句话吧
可是，老师应该没有教过你下一句是什么，对吗？

答案是：








小丁做事小丁当

挖。。

当你觉得耳朵痒到像有很多蚂蚁在爬的时候，如果有一根棉花棒让你挖，那感觉丝毫不比便秘了5天后解放的感觉差。。
当你的鼻子已经被黄金慢慢填满，你吸进肺里的空气都要经过黄金的熏陶时，会恨不得找一个地方躲起来挖鼻孔。。

这些，都是人之常情。你的耳朵你的鼻孔，你想挖就挖吧，挖到流血都被有人会阻止你。
可是，当你挖的是别人的隐私时，有没有想过别人感受？
所谓己所不欲，勿施于人，你想不想有人跑来把手指伸进你的鼻孔掏啊掏的？？甚至是，你已经在流血了那人还继续地掏，就为了满足自己的淘金欲。。

有时候，当你问了别人一个问题，人家说“你别问了”，那就识相一点，闭嘴~！！
况且，这件事知道不知道对你来说并没有多大的影响，唯一的目的就是为了满足你的“求知欲”或好奇心。
挖别人鼻孔已经是过分了，如果你挖到的是伤口呢？
刚刚结了痂止了血的伤口，经你一挖，鲜红的血又缓缓的溢出来。。。

好残忍啊。。。

High Tech Classroom!

Any idea what is this? It looks like a remote control, but it is actually a device used to collect response from audience, called ResponseCard. Questions will be shown on screen, audience can key in their response, then data collected will be collated immediately. Response can be reviewed immediately! This device was so interesting that made our hours long Professional Skill lectures much more enjoyable!

So, every student was given one...




First Question...

Haha.. what a question!! Pharmacy is fun??~!!
OK, given this device, i should vote TRUE! (however i voted FALSE, jz purely out of FUN!!-- one of the FUNNY moment..)
The result...


Oops.. only 53% voted TRUE..
Well, I guess many people did it out of FUN!!

Thanks to technology, now we do not only have chalk and blackboard, but Marker pen and white board!! =.= Jz kidding.. now we have power point slides, video & audio clips, and many other devices that aid pedagogy.. This reminds me of my project in JC-- Virtual Reality in classroom. Oh i guess during the years i m a student, I wont be able to enjoy this. Maybe in future my kids will come home happily, telling me "Mum! Today i went for a tour in human's digestive system!"

Explode!!

My friend gave me some red eggs , which is hard-boiled egg dyed red, after Bai Ti Gong at her house..
The next morning, I took out one egg, remove the shell, leave it to heat in microwave oven for 2 mins, medium heat while i went bathe...

After bathing, i opened the door of the oven

TADAH!!

Egg explosion!!



I wonder y it happened~ i tot egg wil explode only when it s heated from raw to cooked, with shell~

Can any1 tells me y??

要？不要？

要？不要？
要的话，怕会忽略功课，怕会太累，怕没有时间留给我自己
不要的话，心又痒痒的，生活会不会太单调？以后老板问我大学都在干什么难道我要说读书和吃喝玩乐吗？

不要？
要？

给我一朵花，让我用花瓣来决定吧。。


去！这太不像凯怡了！
再考虑考虑吧。。。

New Timetable

I have gotten my timetable for the next semester.
The modules are namely:
Physiology and Pharmacology 2
Pharmaceutics 1: Physiochemical Science and Medicines Design
Pharmaceutical and Biological Chemistry
Professional Skills: Introduction to Pharmacy Practice
3 different labs: Practical Dispensing and the Science of Medicines Manufacture, Chemistry and PhysPharm

OMG.. so many labs....... some will last for whole day~ where s my lunch break??

Anyway i m quite happy with the time table, not very packed, not very loose..
The semester will end before May!! (not including sem exam), which is very favourable to my holiday plan!

New Semester, New Target!! I wanna do better in my academics, and enjoy my uni life more!!

Talking about target, I wonder how did i do in my very 1st exam in my uni life. The answer will be revealed soon! Nervous..

要过年咯！

农历新年要到咯！！

很小的时候，我很喜欢过年，因为有美美的新衣新鞋，还有很多零食汽水吃，还有红包拿！
虽然那时候的我，就算有钱也没地方花，但是因为受到帮别人作账的妈妈的耳濡目染，小小年纪的我竟然正经八百的做起了“红包账目”!
爸爸-RMxx
妈妈-RMxx
二姨-RMxx
小姨-RMxx
大伯-RMxx
...
家里的人都笑翻了~~~而我就因为被笑而很不开心 =.=

大一点的时候，开始流行到朋友家拜年。因为年纪小，不会驾车，穿新衣不踏脚车，我们就只局限在走路去拜年！由于这样很累人，所以我们专攻那些很多同学住的地区，拿了一家又一家的红包，然后一定有人随身携带扑克牌，一路小赌~（真的小赌，一次最多押两毛钱！！）

再后来，比较不好意思这样到很多很多家去拿红包，就只去几个好朋友家拜年
好朋友都是那些天天在学校见面的同学，去到他们家也只是像平时一样，吃吃喝喝对我来说也没多大的吸引力了，因为长大了，要吃什么零食平时都可以吃到，所以过年来说也只不过是几天的学校假期罢了。而且，新年前妈妈会要我们帮忙大扫除，常常就是这个时候被妈妈骂骂骂骂念念念念~所以，过年实在没什么特别的

再长大一点，哥哥姐姐出外念书了。新年变成了一家团圆的时候。有几年哥哥姐姐轮流在外国没有假期没回家过年，那些新年过得难免有点失落。后来，自己也离开家里到外地念书。新年前夕学校还来个农历新年庆祝会，台上各种各种精彩的表演都没办法吸引我，心里只想着等下要怎么样以最快速度冲到关卡，在关卡还没大阻塞时顺利通关，回家过年！

嫁了人的姐姐已经很多年没和我们一起在除夕夜吃团圆饭了，可惜啊。。为什么女人嫁了人就得在除夕夜陪丈夫上夫家吃团圆饭，不能偶尔又丈夫陪回娘家吃团圆饭呢？

今年的新年，我很早就放假了，呆在家里等哥哥姐姐回来，来个大团圆！

农历新年了，能回家的，就回家过年吧！

Spelling Error- - 1

Spelling error spotted!!

Inilah Malaysia..

Looking at the title of my post, maybe some will think that i m going to SHOOT Malaysia again.. No no, this time I just wanna look at my country from another perspective- trying to appreciate the small things that make Malaysia so Malaysia.

Few days ago, I was on an express bus to go Larkin followed by Singapore. Since it s an express bus, it s not supposed to stop along the way to pick up n drop down passengers. However, since it s in Malaysia, "Malaysia BOLEH!", the bus stops for more than 10 times along the 1hour 20mins journey. Well, what is so bad about it? Yeah this may lengthen the time taken by maybe 10 minutes, but this gives convenience to many people, since non-express bus from Pontian to JB is no longer available (or is it available? anyway i din c it for years already)

So Pakcik Makcil AhMoy can just make the bus stop in front of their house conveniently if their houses are jusy by road side. This day, a young Cik brought a little gal to take the express bus. After around 20mins, she asked the driver to stop at a kedai buah-- actually it s merely a gerai (Stall) by the road. They walked down the bus slowly. I saw the owner of the fruit stall smiling happily when he saw the bus stopping. I guess he is the grandpa. Just when the bus is going to move again, the PakCik stopped the bus, boarded it, passing some rambutans and duku to the bus driver, saying Terima Kasih eh...

You don't see this in Singapore cos if it s express bus, it means non-stop. You don't see this in UK cos it would be too cold to have a roadside fruit stall. It is so..

Malaysia.

=)

2008==>2009

这篇来得有点晚，因为之前忙考试，考完试又懒懒散散的~今天总算有心情来回顾一下我的2008啦！

2008年，应该是自1993年以来，我人生中最最最最最。。。。。。。。。。
最少去学校上课的一年 =.= （炸到。。）

自从2007年底考完A水准后，我就站在人生的十字路口，不，是像伦敦地铁线一样多分叉的转捩点。
我的一个决定将影响我接下来的人生（至少都是很多年的生活），父母的开支，我未来的工作，社交圈子。

我并没有马上作出决定，反而是做了我人生中第一份工--在新加坡一所邻里中学教书。这是一个很特别的经验，当了十多年的学生，我总算体会到老师的苦心了。回想一下，从幼稚园小学中学初院，遇到的老师也算上百了。有些老师对我的恩惠震得让我永铭心中，但是无可否认当中也有一些在混日子的老师。是现实让他们失去了当初的热诚？还是本来就认为教书是铁饭碗，学生是固定的“客户”，随便教也不要紧？总之，教了大概2个多月后，我深深体会到“Moulding The Future of Our Nation”这句新加坡教育部的标语非常正确。好的教育塑造出有道德，有水准的国民，进而让国家富强兴旺。

然后，就随妈妈和哥哥到英国旅行，探望姐姐姐夫。喜欢这个国家的步伐，风景，但却不喜欢那里的天气，冻死人了！出一个门得穿上好多件厚重的衣服才能御寒，好多次都在街上冷得发抖！

随后，辗转到了新加坡一间教会工作，处理一些文书资料。这期间对基督教有了一些认识。我相信神的存在。。

这个悠长的假期里我也到了Bali Island旅行，去了一趟让我对户外活动更加感兴趣的Gopeng户外之旅。
真的感谢爸爸妈妈精神上和金钱上的支持，我才能这样到处去！

A level成绩出炉，没什么惊喜，也没什么失望，是我意料中的成绩。
到底，是传媒还是药剂呢？几经挣扎，考虑，考量未来的前景，和父母兄姐讨论，总算在几间大学的offer中，选了我现在的大学-- University of Nottingham, Master of Pharmacy,两年在马来西亚校园，两年在英国校园。想不到之前完全不考虑的英国竟然成为了我的最终选择！

九月份，总算开课了。到了一个新的环境，新的制度，新的社交圈子。还好我本来性格外向，适应能力也不错，很快的我就融入了大学生活，也很开心能念到自己想要念的科系！之前被课外活动搞到很累很累，所以本来想要专心念书而已，但是一进到大学那不安分的心又让我化心动为行动，当起了华文老师，教外国学生华语！然后，我开始学了我之前不曾接触也不敢学的----拉丁舞！！辩论社很吸引我，但是我觉得啊，大学就是要尝试新的东西，哪怕我学得一团糟！敢敢来，开心就好！

不知不觉，2008就这样过了，之前还很担心说接近10个月的假期会让我觉得时间过得很慢，但是一点都不会！反而还很精彩呢！

2009， 我来啦！！

考完试我要。。

考完试我要。。。

1.看Grey's Anatomy Season 5!!
我上一次考完试，A level，也是穷追猛看完几个season的grey's anatomy

2.看“小娘惹”！
youtube不知道有没有咧。。。

3.看我买的书！
当然不是那些厚厚重重的课本！

还有很多想做的事，可是现在不可以想！！

考完试我要。。

哈哈。。
我要考完试才可以想考完试要什么！（很拗口下。。 = 。= ）

大学。。

谁告诉我过了junior college,大学就会很简单的了？
谁说少少科就少少东西读的？

大学的考试没有指定课本指定范围，考过的问题在出多一次你可能也不会，因为过后回家找书也不知道答案是什么，教授也不一定要告诉你答案是什么。唯一比考SPM爽的地方是，科系是自己选的，没有什么莫名其妙的English for Science and Technology, Pendidikan Moral。

准备考试时，真的是考验你到底喜不喜欢这一个科系。不喜欢的话，你会读到吐~~

刚才在图书馆真的有一个同学读到去外头吐了再走回来继续读。
恐怖。

华文华语华人

昨天在友人的部落格里看到一篇针对董教总要求继续使用华文来当数理科教学媒介语的文章
一开头就用了很不文雅的“WTF”..
看得我一肚子火。。不是火他不懂华文看扁华文，而是燃起了一把想要为华教做一些什么的火。
他在文里说到，早点让孩子用英文来学数理，好过学了华文的数理后才在接受更高深教育时用英文数理，这样的转变让很无所适从。他也说到反正在国际上发表的数理研究都是用英文的，越早用不是越好吗？
我承认或许在刚转换媒介语的时候会碰上一些钉子，但是以我的经验，和我的亲戚朋友的经验看来，这些不适应是短暂的。反倒是我仍然清楚地记得，当初还好我已开始学华文和数学的时候都是用我熟悉的华文，不是一些我连基本词语都感到陌生的语言来教导的。因为熟悉语言，了解和掌握得快，自然觉得学习充满了乐趣。我难以想象如果当初老师和我是鸡同鸭讲，用着我听不同的语言来解释我根本没听过的数理科。或许早在小一我就告诉自己数理科真讨人厌！
我倒是赞成在中学实行用英文教数理科，毕竟中学程度的英文（即使是乡村小学毕业）也足够让学生了解新的数理概念了。尤其是像我一样的华小毕业生，在中学使用马来文学数理真的是多此一举。Min=mean, buret=burette,还我再上新加坡初院的时候一直给朋友笑我不会spelling...倒不如直接跳过马来文，在中学用英文！

身边有不少不会讲华文的华人朋友，但是还好他们都还蛮“清醒”的，曾经看过有华人因为不会讲华语只讲英文而感到光荣，我却为他们感到羞耻。。。

不会华文的朋友，只要你有心要学，我一定教！

1st Sem is over!!

Hoho~!!I survived the 1st sem in Uni!
I remember i was telling my frens that nah i m not going to take biotech cos i dun want to b doing lotsa lab works.. Tadah! I m still doing many lab reports when i m pharmacist student! Now i wanna share something interesting i learn in sem 1.

The most interesting module is Practical Dispensing, where I got to manufacture drugs in different dosage form. The most challenging product is SUPPOSITORIES! The temperature must be just right when you pour it into the mould, if not you will be giving your patient something that doesn't "appealing" to their buttock! I mean it! The suppository is supposed to look like a bullet, but some of my peers' products.. haha.. maybe the patient would rather be sick~~


A suppository
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Eucalyptol_suppository.jpg

For my dear friends who may be using suppositories one day, these are my advise:
1. Remember to remove the wrapper- dont laugh, there are instances where the patients insert the suppository into their buttock with the plastic wrapper~ or worst, foil!
2. Not all drugs that look like capsules are meant of oral consumption- if you are not sure whether u r supposed to stuck it into ur mouth or buttock, ask! There were patients that swallow the oily suppository and tell the doctor "yucks the taste of the capsule is disgusting!"
3. Don't act clever, when the pharmacist or doctor give you something and tell you that it s for your buttock.. Instead of a suppository, sometimes it s a pump with liquid inside, all u need to do is to pump liquid into ur anus, and TAKE OUT THE PLASTIC PUMP! A pharmacist told me that his patient actually stuck the whole pump into his anus, n claimed that his constipation doesnt improve! Come on, when u put a cork to a bottle, how do u expect wine to come out? Moreover ur faeces is not so "pourable"!!

从来没有对一个地方充满这么大的期待和憧憬。。巴黎。。太美了！
看过kenny sia 的blog后，照片里的巴黎铁塔美丽的令人惊叹。

小小的几张照片就已经在我心里激起涟漪，我告诉自己，这一辈子一定要至少去一次巴黎！而且最好是和心爱的人一起去！




漆黑的夜空，矗立着一座高耸的铁塔，塔上的闪闪灯光点缀着异国的夜晚。
冷冷的风，在他温暖怀抱里的我一点都不觉得冷。。

法国巴黎。
有一天我会去到的！

如果。。

如果电话费非常非常便宜的话，
如果我们都非常非常得空的话，
我不介意你每天和我聊几小时。
可是电话费贵，我们都不得空，
所以~~


如果我怎样吃都吃不肥的话，
如果乱吃不会影响健康的话，
我不介意每天都吃很多食物。
可是我一吃多就肥，
胆固醇高血压听起来很恐怖，
所以~~

只好这样啦~~~

Any idea wat is this?
Looks like the rows of "magic-egg" vending machines in front of TOY'R'US..

No longer a teen!

I am no longer a teenager now! Happy? Sad? I dunno, anyway time flies! I still remember what i wrote in my diary when i was 12-- teenage, full of unknowns, excitement, and the most beautiful and enjoyable years in my life! Oh my god now i definitely hope that teenage is not the best, cos it s over and my age is no longer started with 1!!

My 20th birthday was a good one. I was so so so busy on the eve for Viva La Vida Night, a food bazaar for Cancer Awareness Week. Before that i was telling my frens that most likely i will be spending my last few hours of teen cleaning up the venue, counting down to my birthday while i count the rubbish bags i collected~ Urgh.. Oh well, i did spend my time picking up rubbish, but my lovely coursemates gave me a pleasant surprise!! I was coming out from the toilet, going to get some toilet roll to clean up the ice-cream mess in the Great Hall, i realised all the lights were off. I　was thinking: what? so stingy? the event is just over and the lights are already off? Haha.. no no no.. All my frens were standing in the middle of the hall, with a cake!! OMG!! I never expect it at all! I thought the most they will do is to celebrate it after pharmacy visit on the day! Wow..! After singing n blowing out the candles, we din hv time to eat the cake, so the poor cake had to wait for me to send it back home, to b shared v my frens only on the next day.


After cleaning up, it was already 1145pm. Dragging my tired body to Sen Loong's car, i was told that WIng Teck wanna tumpang some stuff to EduSquare. So Sen Loong n i waited patiently in the car.. Meanwhile, phone calls started to flood in~ Calls followed v calls.. Calls from Australia, Muar, Indonesia, bla bla bla~ HAHAHA.. As i was chatting away, i realised it s 12am dy.. hoho.. Suddenly, i saw my Cari Forum gang walking towards me!! OMG　OMG!! This s certainly another surprise!! Wahaha.. they bought me Secret Recipe Tiramisu Cake! So damn damn damn happy! But then on the cake it was written happy birthday Za Bo Yee.. zha dao~~


This is the Tiramisu Cake!!

They celebrated my birthday for me by the lake in my uni campus, quite romantic.. They also gave me a useful and pretty bag, haha.. really suitable and in time, since my bag s already quite cacat, and it s a free gift from Anna Sui somemore~

After all those celebration, i reached home at 2am. Urgh, hv to report to sch at 715am! As i was tidying up my stuff, my phone rang again~ talk talk talk till around 4am.. wahaha.. crazy!!

The next morning, surprisingly i was so awaked! Stood for 3.5 hours in a small community pharmacy, then lunch in SA, then had cake v my frens, then rejected a frens invitation to Times Square cos i was super tired, then dinner alone eating catered dinner. I tot my day wud b so ke sian, who knows...

MY LOVELY "TOILETMATE" PREPARED ANOTHER SURPRISE FOR ME!
At around 1210am, she came to my room, asking me if i want any food. I said, nah u want to grow fatter dun ask me along~ She asked, "really? really dun want?" ok.. i surrender, so wat do u hv? "Go to my room to c"

Wah wah wah! She drew me a lovely card, bought me a Baskin Robin Cone, and a cute, BLUE soft toy! I was nearly touched to tears dy lo.. she has been busy v her assignment, yet she still managed to get me sth!



I m so blessed that in this relatively new environment, i still hv a bunch of friends who will celebrate my birthday for me, and most importantly, thanks to my dearest mum who brought me to the world 20 years ago, brought me up, fed me educate me nurture me love me. Thank you, Mummy!

你不好~!!

我在教初级口语华文班的时候,常听到学生用很生硬的语调说"你不好~~",超级可爱
可是最近我觉得我不好~!!
为什么这么说呢?因为,我发现我很容易对别人产生偏见~!!
当一个人做了一件让我看了很不顺眼的事过后,这人做什么事情都很容易被我解读为不好的事.

可能我不是唯一一个这样想的人吧,很多人都会这样.比如说一个你看得顺眼的男生和一个你觉得欠扁的男生,同样的特性都可能有2种解读:
执着VS固执
天真无邪VS幼稚无聊
豪爽VS粗心
细心VS斤斤计较
勤奋好学生VS书呆子
憨厚VS死脑筋
"好MAN啊"VS大男人主义
温柔VS娘娘腔
......

YEE~~!!当你觉得别人不好的时候,记得要想想这缺点其实是一个被你看成是缺点的优点!!!
这样世界看起来是不是会比较美好?

WIsh List

Stable and fast internet connection for me and people whom I want to chat to
Frequently able to meet people whom I want to meet
Good memory to memorize all things that I m supposed to memorize
Love people around me

These are all I am lack of and wish for.. Will I be granted all these?

不能说的秘密

“我有一个秘密要告诉你，你不可以告诉别人哦！”

这句话，从小到大说了很多次，也听了很多次，但是有多少人真的没有告诉“别人”？
一个人通常会把一些需要保密，但是不说出口又很辛苦的事情告诉自己最亲密的人，比如知己，男朋友，女朋友，兄弟，姐妹。但是有时候这些听到秘密的人不说出口又很辛苦，结果他们也告诉了他们的知己男朋友女朋友兄弟姐妹。他们的知己男朋友女朋友兄弟姐妹不说出口也很辛苦，然后他们也告诉了他们知己男朋友女朋友兄弟姐妹。。。。结果全世界都知道了这个“不可以告诉别人”的秘密。他们有错吗？要说错也不是很错，因为他们没有告诉“别人”啊~

如果这些男朋友女朋友好朋友不是在同一一个社交圈子的话还好，因为不认识当事人，所以不会觉得尴尬~想象你知道坐在你旁边吃饭的甲乙丙丁丁知道你和男朋友昨晚接吻的时候太紧张结果撞伤嘴唇~~~~所以，我发现最近有些离我很远很远的泛泛之交会把秘密告诉我，也不会把秘密告诉那些天天和他们见面的人。。

既然秘密告诉了别人会很容易被传出去，为什么还是很多人选择把秘密告诉另一个人？

因为，秘密憋在心里很辛苦。。

小叮铛

墙角迎风的雏菊.
茉莉花开的香气.
闭上眼回到过去.
划分界限的座椅.
下课就靠在一起.
我就是离不开你.
一路争吵的话题.
我们说好走到底.
因为从此就分离.
用黑板上的日期.
倒数找你.

慢慢清醒.原来思念你是加了糖的消息
我用铅笔.画得更仔细素描那天天气
想你的香气.我想遇见你

那童年的希望是一台时光机.
我可以一路开心到底都不换季.
带竹蜻蜓.穿过那森林
打开了任意门找到你一起旅行.
那童年的希望是一台时光机.
给我放伯伯的糖糖你味道熟悉.
所有回忆.在夏天的口袋里.
一起荡秋千的梦境.在风中找寻着甜蜜

有些话从来不急.
一直都放在心底.
想要叫你看仔细.
而单纯世故的你.
已经离去.
哦.慢慢清醒
原来思念你是加了糖的消息.
我用铅笔.画得更仔细素描那天天气
想你的香气.我想遇见你

哦.在找寻着甜蜜~
哦.在找寻着甜蜜~
哦.在找寻着甜蜜~

很久没有听到一首让我这么喜欢的歌了,周杰伦的时光机..
从小我最喜欢的漫画就是小叮铛了,一听到片头的音乐我就会兴奋得不得了!即使是上了初级学院也不忘在星期六早上起床看小叮铛~到现在我的手机闹钟铃声都还是小叮铛片头曲,因为每天早上被喜欢的漫画叫醒感觉上心情会比较好吧..喜欢它并不是因为觉得它特别可爱,也不是因为它是蓝色的,就纯粹羡慕大雄,有一个这么神奇的机器猫朋友!我也常常在心里骂大雄,怎么这么暴殄天物啊!好好的道具到他手上总是会闹出问题,不然就是坏了,多么浪费啊!

其中一个让我印象深刻的是一个会帮忙做功课的道具.只要主人一睡觉,小精灵就会从小屋子里面走出来,帮主人把功课做完.小时候我很懒惰做补习的功课,因为又多又难,可是不做不行,补习老师是出了名的凶,功课没做好来可是会变斑马的!!当时的我就常幻想小叮铛给我那神奇的道具,那么我就不必这么辛苦啦!

长大一点,就开始对时光机感兴趣了..曾经很努力的"研究"过时光机的可行性,觉得时光机很不可行~想象下如果现在的我回到过去,然后在小时候的我的身上留下一个疤痕,然后再回到现在,那我身上应不应该有疤痕咧?如果我回到20分钟前把现在还在眼前的一碗面吃下去,那么现在的我会不会看到一碗面凭空消失咧?想着想着觉得很不可思议!然后,我就更加崇拜藤子不二雄了...

现在的我很想拥有一个道具,那就是任意门..想象以下,一打开门我就可以跨越地理上的距离,和心爱的人在一起;晚餐时间到了,一打开门就闻到妈妈煮的家常菜的香气;上课时间到了,一打开门就去到教室里了,多好!应该只有小叮铛可以帮我实现零距离的梦想吧?


盼望了这么多年,我自己做了这么多年的功课,小叮铛还没送道具来帮我做功课..
看来地理上的距离,我还是得自己去跨越,去克服..

我不是大雄,我可以自己做到!

These are the flaws..

Generally I am quite happy with my current life and campus and accommodation. But nothing is perfect, and sometimes these flaws simply ruin my mood.

First of all.. INTERNET!
Damn damn damn damn unhappy with the internet service providers~ There is no fixed line in my area, so no streamyx.. Was using digi wireless broadband but it sucks~ one night can disconnect up to 10 times-- no more 11th time because i simply cant take it and just go offline. Then i applied celcom, which promised 24-hour activation. I applied on last saturday, n ytd they told me "oh well u hv to wait till monday!" WHAT THE~~!!!!! Now i m using my fren's wireless account subscribed from sch, which is not good either because it takes years to load webpages, n within 1 hour my MSN got disconnected few times dy.. Urgh urgh urgh~!!!

2ndly, security
Before i came here, i was assured that living off campus s safe because there will be security guard. The day i came here i was quite happy to c them patrolling. However, within 1 month i moved to this place i hv heard numerous theft cases and even snatch theft! There was even Peeping Tom!! MAY UR EYES ROT and NEVER GET WELL!!I hv also dialed police station number for the 1st time in my life-- and even nagged at the police for their inefficiency~ So, from opening the window when i sleep, to simply shut the window at ALL times, i hv to b more more more alert to protect myself. Guards? oh well they are for decoration purpose.

3rdly, Computer lab
This one.. is minor case.. No more facebook and blogspot using sch computer.. well, if i can hv a "ok-ok" internet access at home, who cares? But do i hv it now? No, so i care!!

Enough, if i continue to type some more, i will just feel bu shuang bu shuang n bu shuang..........!!

Every week I have about 24 hours of classes, mostly lectures, with 2 lab sessions. Lectures are just like normal lectures where lecturers talk, we listen (or sleep? No lah so far I have been awake!!) Lab sessions are fun! We have pharmaceutical chemistry lab sessions where we do chemistry experiments like titration, but they are all related to pharmaceutical science, ie the skills acquire here will be applied in future when we are pharmacists. We also have pharmaceutical products manufacturing sessions. This is when we produce medicines like cough syrup, paracetamol etc!! This is really fun! But the preparation to this is quite tedious—we have to read up, do manufacturing records, make labels.. Writing manufacturing record is very troublesome ar!! We have to flip through many thick thick books to sieve out information. I have never used so many giant books to complete just a sheet of paper before! This is the amount of books that we typically use EVERY WEEK. One of them has a very DISTINCT smell, which, according to seniors, it s the smell of some cream.. omg..

Other than that, I have lab sessions that involves drugs reaction, clinical cases etc. Students are divided into groups of 3-7, according to the nature of the experiments. The 1st lab session was on drug reaction on human. The drugs we used we Pilocarpine and Tropicamide-- drugs that will either dilate or constrict pupil.. This sounds really scary. Luckily i wasnt the subject but the observer. After "drugged" by me, my partners had dilated or constricted pupil for about 5 hours! OMG... after lab session, we need to present our findings in seminar right after lunch break. Haiz, we dont even have proper lunch break! After seminar, we need to submit a long long long report on the next day~~


Anyway, although i complain a lot, i LOVE MY COURSE!!

Cooking cooking cooking..

My housemates and I have been cooking our dinners because there is no much choices available to us and some of them are very expensive while taste yucky...So, these are our products!








How? Want to cater food from us? Hehe...
