Penang. Home. <3

Penang is bliss... I've been fed with good food... XD

from hawker's food... to western cuisine.. to chinese "zhu char"... to bak kut teh...

i've had them all in 3 days... XD envy me.. =p

but besides good food... i'm buried with lecture notes... *sigh*

i have a sudden longing to sit down at starbucks and read some chick lit now... =.= rite.. i can do that in my dreams... for the next 5 weeks... lecture notes will be my only reading material... sad case... =(

with "cinderella" playing from my laptop... i'm typing this...

i have no idea why that song always reminds me of the way dad calls my name...

being home... reminds me of how comfy home can be...

how after no matter what happens... i can always come back to this place....

how under this roof... i'll always find love and feel secured...

how in my parents' eyes i'm still their little girl...

and how warm it feels to just be home... =) i'm glad.

I want that book. =(

A casual stroll into the bookstore made me wanna buy lotsa books... novels i mean...
and it made me want that book more than ever now... =(
i was practically flipping the book back and forth.. back and forth.. for at least 10 times...
but considering my financial status now... i don't have a choice... but to NOT BUY... it's still way too expensive to me anyway... =.=
never mind... will hunt it down in the second hand bookstore...
keeping my fingers crossed they have it...
but.. but.. that means i have to wait until after my EOS... *sigh*
wait i shall... because again... i don't have a choice...
wish i can read novels instead of lecture notes for the next three weeks... =.=
happy preparing for eos people... time to drown myself in coffee and lecture notes... and wave bah bye to yumchas and chilling sessions...

" Cuz he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar...

the only one who's got enough of me to break my heart...

he's a song in the car i keep singing...

don't know why i do... "

Pardon me.. that song is just stuck in my head... 2nd day i've been playing it repeatedly... XD

done crapping. nitez people. signing off. =)

Out. Free. Chill.

21 of us went and watch Fast and Furious 4 on friday after classes...
Bit unrealistic yes... but all in all i think its one of the nicest movie i've watched in a month...
Knowing was sucky... Watchmen was sucky... Marley and Me... Not that bad... but still.. i think this one's the best... =) though cars are not in my list of faves... would say its worth watching... =D And after the movie which got our adrenaline pumping... we headed to the arcade for round 2... DAYTONA... to get a feel of fast and furious? lol.. i don't know.. me myself is never a fan of the arcade... and so yeah... when they MADE me play and put me behind the wheel... you can just predict what will happen... me. wan ling. was the last in the race... but still that's ok... the utmost HOLIAO thing is... i came in last and some more i'm slower than the others by ONE LAP!!! tell me how can that be possible?? LOL.. even i find it HILARIOUS... lol... yeah.. go ahead... laugh ur heads off... the guys who witnessed it had their share laughing at the arcade...

-I set foot in the park again... =)-

It has been some time since the last time i actually set foot in the park..

and since some FAT people is so interested in losing a few kilos by jogging round the pond at the park for a few rounds... we went to the park... =p

- Guess who's the FAT one? XD -

Feels good to be out... feels good to be sweating though my ankle is still hurting a teeeeeny bit... anyway.. i think the calories burnt off were gained again when we had ice cream after the jog... and the FATTEST one ate two... kononnya... wanna lose weight.. =p we just sat at the park and chilled with ice creams until it was dark and it started raining... i don't even remember the last time i walked in the rain and yet enjoyed it... but yesterday walking in the rain... was nice... just felt so free and fresh...

- Ice-creams to gain back the calories that we have lost.. XD -

- Now you know who's the FAT one... =p -

Han visited me on saturday... and we had dinner together... nothing fancy... but we talked over dinner... and i realised... my lil bro has actually matured... i never expect myself to see him in that light... =)

Happy 21st to ME =D

29032009- on my birthday eve...

if you wanna be bored by details of my 21st.. read on... this will be a loooooooong one... =)
joni actually had a surprise planned for me one day before my birthday... but then... i think i almost ruined the surprise when i said that i wanted to head home and be with my family for the weekend... anyway.. thank mum and dad for not allowing me to go for cheng beng and them being busy... i have decided to stay back in kl...

well.. besides myself... the surprise sort of terbocor here and there... lol.. but still it was a nice surprise... =) i knew something was not very right when stacie turned up at my doorstep on sunday morning... but then i was told the previous night that we are going for breakfast... so... okla... maybe stacie is joining us for breakfast... BUT THEN... can't be what... she drove ALL THE WAY from SUNGAI BULUH just to have breakfast with us??? something is wrong somewhere... but i don't know where and nobody is willing to tell me...

so.. yup... i got dressed, not prepared for anything... initially i even thought of showering after i came back from breakfast cause i was still soooo sleepy... but then... luckily i did... anyway... i got dressed very chin chai-ly and went for breakfast... joni just gave me her sheepish smile whenever i throw her the look... =.= anyway... in front of vista b... i saw andrew's car... and pang tsen was quite nicely dressed... and that was definitely not any normal "breakfast" attire... =.=

anyway... we headed onto the sungai besi highway and andrew stop for petrol on the way... and i am beginning to feel that something is fishy... my first guess... these people are bringing me to seremban... LOL... and then after some time... on the highway... kx terbocor the whole big surprise... that we're heading to malacca.. LOL.. we had a really good laugh... XD

we reached malacca and had Isabel lead us to lunch-chicken rice ball... and i was greeted with "SURPRISE!!" by pang tsen at the restaurant... haha... though i wasn't that surprised... still it's a really pleasant and well planned surprise... =) thankew people... especially joni... =D

so... we had a great time at malacca... jalan jalan... makan makan... i think mainly it was makan... anyway... let pictures do the talking... =)

- Fooooood XD-

-Bubbles. Finding our childhood memories. =)-

-Random pictures-

-Memories.. we share =)-

everything went well... UNTIL.....

i sprained my ankle... ooopppsss... hehe...

i know... i know... i'm clumsy... and this has been the 4th time i fell down since sem 3... i really do think that i am fall prone... if there's such a term... =p anyway... it's not really sprained i think... perhaps just strained... XD but then for the first 10 minutes i just cannot stand up... and my ankle was swollen... everybody got VERY WORRIED... sorry people for freaking you all out... and pang tsen... thankew for EVERYTHING... sorry for the trouble and sorry for making you worry... so sorry... and then i was brought to a clinic... to have my ankle inspected... and i was given the medication below... plus an MC to omit myself from the industrial visit the following day... but then... i went cause my ankle was better... and i can limp.. XD

CLOXACILLIN for my infection.

REMAFEN for SAKIT

PAPASE for BENGKAK

ANAREX for SAKIT OTOT

and some cream for my wound...

uhm... something about me... though i'm a pharmacist-in-the-making... i have very VERY VERY poor compliance to medication... hehe... i almost never finish my antibiotics... hehehehehe... owhkay... i know i should... and i will... from this time onwards... but still.. this time around... i only took some of the medication for one time... =p and CLOXA which is supposed 2 b taken qid turned out to be taken bd or tds... =p depending on how many times i take my meals... anyway... i will COMPLETE THE COURSE... joni and pang tsen.. i'm taking my pills... as you guys asked me to... =D

so much so for a nice birthday present... i got a swollen ankle as my first present... XD excluding the one i got from the mail...anyway... after the fall... we continued makan makan... =D satay celup for dinner before we head back...

-Satay Celup-

all in all.. it was a great surprise... a pleasant day spent at malacca... =) thankew joni, kx, michelle, stace, pang tsen, andrew, wei ping and tortoise ng... XD and to everybody else who sent their wishes and pressies... thankew so much... =) and those sending me messages and calling me from australia... thankew... =)

Just Updates.. =)

hmm.. updates... =) boring stuff... read on if you wanna be bored... XD

last week was a bit tiring... and i was seriously deprived of sleep...

but then... nobody to blame but myself for leaving everything until the last minute... sigh..

sunday night... one night before portfolio submission... was crazy.. haha.. XD

tuesday and wednesday... had hospital attachment at HTAR...you know what... it's boring... =( i mean seriously... we were done with the briefing in like 1 hour plus... but we stayed at the hospital for the whole day... =.= doing nothing but updating each other about the latest gossip.... =.= but then.. this is only for people who are attached to in patient... the OPD people actually had a chance to do REAL WORK... and they learned A LOT... the most interesting stuff i find from this attachment is only when the pharmacist did bedside counselling at the ward... =) anyway.. that aside, for assessment, we had to screen prescriptions and do counselling... and i think my preceptor was quite strict on assessing us... XD we went for bak kut teh after our attachment on wednesday... klang bak kut teh... ; ) and we watched imu's got talent after we got back... I realised... i'm easily impressed by people who are good with words... =) it was an enjoyable performance... with nice pieces... great songs... and beautiful words... =)

thursday.. after three days of hectic schedule... i finally got a day off... =) which i spent sleeping... doing my report... and preparing for my presentation on friday...

friday... presentation day... XD

everything was ok.. except that we can't really finish presenting in time...

still i'm glad that it's over... =) after lunch.. i collected my parcel from the sungai besi post office... thankew joni... =) and thanks yu xuan.. for sending it all the way from hong kong... =)

watched "marley and me" that night after dinner at sushi zanmai... touching movie, funny, a reflect of life... but the storyline was rather flat.. enjoyed it though... =)

saturday was spent stoning and playing stupid games i downloaded... lol..

and spending the night watching "Knowing"... it's not a totally cacat movie... hehe..

but i seriously don't like the way they end it... =.=

i actually thought it will be a nice movie until 3 quarter of the movie... then i started to feel that its turning sucky...

then.. sunday... i had an enjoyable "breakfast" trip to malacca.. will update some other time... lazy dee... XD
