its funny when im going through all these ugly emotions, i find work really therapeutic. i had a warm welcome when i got back from penang. and saturday at work was pretty fun as there were little prescriptions to pack up and we all chatted about our lives. life lessons shared by the seniors, i like.

im starting to love busy saturdays and empty sundays with work around. i cant believe my life is starting to revolve around work now.

i miss my two most fav activities: baking and guitar ):

10 reasons why i thought i wouldnt pass my final theory driving test today:

1) i just came back from holiday
2) im still coughing and having headaches
3) i didnt study
4) i didnt read the theory book at all
5) i had mucus flowing out throughout the whole test (and i had no tissue, EDITTED!!)
6) i was fickled for some questions esp for:

if the sun is glaring and blinding you
1. stop the car immediately
2. put down the visor or use sunglasses
3. look at the left kerb

it was btwn 2 and 3 cause i know if its at night, blinded by oncoming car's light, look at the kerb.
in the end, i chose 2 cause i rmmbr the theory book drawing showed a guy driving w shades. lol

7) i felt that i shldnt make the trip at all since i didnt study cause it wld be all wasted
8) this was my 4th time
9) i studied for all the 3 tests before
10) it would be a miracle if i pass it with all the reasons above!

but, i did! (:
finally, i can start my practicals!
back to work tomorrow!

i think CGH is always making people wait. the last time i went for the interview, i had to wait for 40 minutes before getting interviewed. today i had to wait about the same to sign the papers.

so anyway, i swear i got a shock of my life when they said, okay so now lets try on the uniform. apparently they had fitting rooms and all. thank god, my size was not in stock. right after signing, i was ushered to the retail pharmacy.

while i was doing my attachments back then, i thought i really liked the working environment, the fact that we have to collect medication according to the prescriptions, paste the labels counter check and stuff. but now that im doing it myself with tonnes of prescription in queue, i start to wonder is this really what i want to do all my life? lol maybe abit dramatic here.

but really, i work with scissors, pen and calculator. i pay attention mostly to the location of the drug, expiry dates andd.... cut the tablet pallet as requested, count loose tablets and transfer to new bottles.. being on my feet the whole time except, toilet and lunch break.

sounds easy? haha after a few hours of work, my back and feet is all aching. sadly, i made ONE major mistake. the drug location was 5A, i took the drug from 5D. heh and i didnt check it. i remember noticing everyone taking note of my mistakes. or maybe it's just me.

so my workplace were mostly friendly and helpful people, some bossy, the usuals. they gave me a nickname, sherry.

well, it's still too early to say anything.
and, maybe i want to change the direction of my sail.
love.

oh my! im embarking on a new chapter of my life.
im starting work tomorrow. this is it, my career. a real job.
bbye school, hello work.
wish me luck!

on a lighter note, facebook quizes sometimes suprise me. look at this!

Shanie completed the quiz "In your circle of friends, who are you?" with the result The Underappreciated Bestfriend.

You try to keep everyone happy, and sometimes at your expense. You foot the bill when you're all out to celebrate, just so everyone can have a good time and not worry about money. You'd do anything for your friends, even though they forget to thank you or don't show you the appreciation you deserve. Although it's nice that you're being everyone's rainbow, think about yourself, too. No one will think you're a bad friend if you say no to some of their requests..

heh, really?
love.

as the graduation day passed by, i could still sense this tinge of excitement in me. is this for real? ive graduated!

days before this, my life was so uncertain. i remember feeling excited that there's an accepted university in malaysia that i could go to carry on with my degree. but to my dissapointment, my faci called me up and told me its not recognised. for a moment, i felt like my future was dashed knowing that the recession would be still lingering and im unemployed. im not even hoping for a local uni.

i stood in silence, tearing at my laptop, thinking that if i'd stared long enough a light would shine showing me the right path. i begin looking at study loans which could be useful cause im feeling determined to be in the pharmacy line. my heart begin to pound faster like an asthma attack would hit me. i tried gasping for more air. by chance, it got better and i started sending in my resumes.

that's when i got a call from CGH the next day. boy oh boy i was excited. but there was this uncertainty inside me. it would be like the past 5 interviews i went to, all rejecting me or no reply at all. days pass by, i waited with much anxiety hoping that every call i receive would be a call from CGH.

just nice, right after graduation, on wednesday while i was out with Yasmin, CGH called :D a pharmacy assistant job was offered to me with the pay i quoted. i told myself, this is a double celebration! and, i already had plans to meet my favourite malay girls, Yati and Shikin or should i say fellow pharmacy assistants from another hospital. hehe.

sheesha with them was relaxing and they were telling me about work life which i openly listened and be mentally prepared about. its not easy as they said but i feel pretty determined. insya allah, i can face all the challenges with an open heart and mind.

for now, i must say that im pretty contented on how life turned out for me after much setbacks, dissapointment and tears. always, have faith in Allah. He knows the best path for us. all we need is some determination and hardwork.

alhamdulillah (:
i hope everthing would turn out fine for everyone out there too!
love.

okay its 8.45 am. i cant sleep. i feel like i have much sufficient sleep. which is a good thing i hope? let me start with the fact that graduation was a blast and the all excitement didnt dissapoint me at all(:

khai gave me a lift to school which after that was super rushing. i came in w the hanger where the facis told me to keep it away. smuggled my camera and handphone, put on the robe and got myself registered.

i was psyched by the fact that alicia me and fatimah were sitting side by side throughout the whole event :D not by choice but by name :D plus i got my raj and shamala on the other side. couldnt be happier!


it was boring but suprisingly fast when it came to our turn. hahah at the backstage alicia, fatimah and i were holiding hands, too nervous. shamala was like omg wat if i fall. haah we all supported each other. YAY MY NAME WAS CALLED UP. haha i swear i didnt know when to walk, is it after they say the adv dip thing or after my name, at my name?!?! plus i was praying so much not to fall w the heels. hehe. but everything went on smoothly (;

my mother told me she teared when she saw me walk on stage. awww. heart you ma! she said, finally her last baby completed diploma. the one who the doctors told her could end up w down syndrome cause she was 42 when she got me. haha.

raymond love was our valedictorian. i was so proud of him! my team mate, my adpp attachment mate. thats the boy! he deserve it cause i always looks information-less beside him. hehe. oh wait, HE EVER COPY MY WORKSHEET! hahaha.


okay event over. my sisters was so kind to come down eventho no invitations. they waited outside, w a bouqet of flowers and card! YAY! it looks so lovely! i love it so much :D i could never ask for better sisters! they are zee best :D

photo time w everyone and anyone i could snatch. be it from the food table, sitting on the staircase or just chatting around. hehe. others on FB(:

PSBs :D

alright keep in touch babies!

It came to my suprise that it wrote there im top 26% to 50% of the Science cohott and my course. lol this is definitely a joke seh.
thanks yasmin for the camera!
with much love :D
