Meet the supervisor in Chinese new year!

I met my mystery supervisor on Tue , i actually had some negative impression of him which i heard from my senior before i meet him personally, that 's why making me a bit worry.

First question from him: So, what is your history? ( I was thinking --i am still alive, not yet a history le!)
my answer: I came from Malaysia, the 2+2 programme.

2nd question: why do you choose this project?
me:.....giving my strong reason behind!

and then we supposed to fill up the safety practice form together and fill up the hazard column. And, please have a guess before you read the following......Teng teng teng emily teng!!!!!

The hazard of my project is COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my supervisor 's advice is "Take time to rest out"

... ... ... ...
too much details to be written on this page...so let's cut the story short. At the end, he suggested me no need to pass up the safety practices form as my project does not require me to go Laboratory. After gave me a 14 pages journal to bring home, and some chat over what he expecting in two weeks time ( which i set for myself after so much of questioning) and bla bla bla...so we ended the first meeting in 30 mins time.

Oh well, the reason that i do not need to attend Lab is because according to my Dr supervisor, he needs 3 to 6 months to train me become a surgeon, but my project is obviously less than 3 months. So, i will just review people's journals, look at how neuroscience student perform his/her experiment, do some questionnaire for 3rd and 4th yr student and produce a leaflet!!!!!People, i need to give out 100 questionnaires, pls give me back , dun keep to yourself a!haha...I don't want to receive 2 only (from eelin and liling ).

Since the last meeting until now, i haven't start doing anything at all, and the day just pass day by day. I shall start doing something now..I just hope everything will be alright and my supervisor will be nice to me and and i hope that exam result which is coming out in one week time will be fine too!!!!!Hope everyone Happy!!!!!!!!!

Happy chinese new year!!!!!!!!!Party ~party~@!!!!

我變了嗎?

天空今天穿上了一系列灰色的衣裳.

讓我不自然想問到底什么時候了?

什么時候開始我們之間多了一樣東西?

一樣我們都希望它不存在的東西--距離

曾幾何時我向大家說過,我們一定會跟以前一樣的

但事實告訴我說我錯了, 而我也認同了

朋友說: 你變了!

我說: 我說我曉得, 也感覺到

朋友說: 不是你的錯, 是你不得不去英國

我再問: 我真的變了嗎?

朋友2說: 你變了嗎? 如果有,應該也是變得不可愛了!

變, 我高興嗎?

很肯定的答案, 一點都不

我知道我變了

不再亂笑

不再大膽

不再果斷

不再開朗

不再說冷笑話(少了)

但我成熟了

因為時間的不同

因為各忙各的

因為環境因素

我們之間多了一道牆

我們還能像周哥說的回到過去嗎?

我有選擇嗎? 我也不想這樣的

如果我能做小叮當的時光機回去

我希望這一切的變化從沒發生過

只因我在乎我們的友情…

I can feel...

I can feel millions of pain receptors around my teeth and gum sending their messages to my brain now....telling me that I AM IN PAIN!!!!

I have not been wearing retainer regularly for three weeks. After i give some pressure and force to the retainer so that it could sit nicely into its position as i wish...My tears drops...it's so painful...

Just want to write this down

Very happy
Another long hour
4 hours...
~4 hours again
Nobody knows what i am talking about
Only I know :)

Malaysian Game!!!

Today 8/11/2008 is Nottingham Malaysian Game.



I personally think that Malaysian should come for this game, you can see malaysian everywhere. You just feel like you're in Malaysia with same kind of people who you used to see while in Malaysia. Since when i so patriotic? It might be a place where you will randomly meet someone you know and"eh...how are you?" haha..



Surprisingly, this year lesser people visit NMS games compare to last year despite the fact that the number of teams registered for games have increased.



Okla, I was there since 11.30am and my only concern is about the volleyball match. Nottingham team didn't manage to secure their championship. Sheffield is the Champion of volleyball this year :). The score was actually very close ---25:23. I hope nobody sees how i cheer/scream for the team using English, Mandarin, Cantonese...haha..



Second sports that will attract my attention is Basketball. Don't ask me why? I just like to watch basketball match even though i do not like (because my stamina is not good enough to play!!) and do not know how to play. IMPERIAL COLLEGE manage to secure their championship!!!!WOOHOOO.....I actually can't remember the scores, but i know it was very close also. They always shout IC IC, after that only i know it's actually stands for IMPERIAL COLLEGE. I actually sat among those IC reserve players and hence i cheer for IC instead of NOTTINGHAM!!!Hahaha...betrayer!!! Oops..i forgot to say that it was IMPERIAL vs. NOTTINGHAM in final!!



Conclusion : Nottingham Malaysian Game is good!!!And, i am seriously tired and cacat now. Look at this!!!This is what i get at the end of the day after volleyball game and i know this is unavoidable! This makes me walk like orang cacat when i go up and down staircase!!!But, still i enjoyed and appreciate the chance given to play volleyball in my last year!Yahooooo!!!I love volleyball!!

Long time no see VOLLEYBALL! :)

Don't doubt yourself on what you are looking at now. It 's my hand. If you look more clearly , you can find that there are a lot of small red dots on my hand. Actually on both of my hands, you know where is the other hand gone to? The other hand obviously is holding camera and taking picture la! (oh....rachel..why you so cold???)haha....

This is what I get after one hour practice with new people who i never played with before. If you didn't play volleyball regularly, this is what you will get ...swollen..pain....redness. I actually got one bruise on my right knee with 5 cm diameter and just beside it is another red patch.

I wonder how many blood vessels had sacrificed themselves in this practice?Must be lots...

My last volleyball training were form5 ..which is 2003..now is 2008 already....imagine it has been five years ago since my last training. I am no longer the girl who can play well for volleyball, i have to admit this. :(

I just wonder how am i going to play for Malaysian Game with pain on my hands, bruise and blister on my palm. And, most important things i DON'T have tacit understanding with other players....which is actually an important part of volleyball team...TEAMWORK is very important!!!

Good luck tomorrow..!Might be my last play before graduate.....:)

A morning call from Tsb pharmacy....

"qin peng qi you ni ting wo shuo..........................."

I got a call from Tsb pharmacy at 8.45am, following my email to reject their offer.

Firstly, she asked me the reason of rejecting them. I said i have offer from another company which suits my condition better. She then ask me which company is that, why i prefer that company? I didn't want to say because that company is better and i prefer to work for them. so i just simply say that because better salary and benefits those kind of things which obviously isn't my main concern. If i know more harsh things are coming, i wouldn't have answer like that.

She was nice at the beginning. She said that if i am concern about these, we can further discuss the terms and conditions. Again, I stress that i still won't take the offer.

Here is where the transformation occurs....
She starts shooting me...

1. She said i have been unprofessional because they actually sent me two offer letters since September but I took long time to reply their offer.
This isn't true because Tsb Pharmacy actually made an offer to me recently. I was on hold since August .

2. After i clarify this thing with her, she said there is actually two offer letters but first offer letter was lost on its way. After a second check, she found out my offer was made on 10/10/2008.

3.Then she starts change the topic, she said offer was made on 10/10/2008, why do i take so long time to reply?
I said i only receive offer letter from them after two weeks, which is on 28/10/2008.I receive offer from another company after i received offer letter from them. I took about two weeks to reply them because i need time to make my decision. But i found out it's only 8 days but not two weeks.
SHE SAID TWO WEEKS IS TOO LONG TO MAKE A DECISION. I replied her that i think i have the right to make decision in two weeks. Even for first round candidates, RPSGB also mention must give them time until 1st week of OCT, how come i can't have the TWO WEEKS?

4. She change topic again this time. She said because of me they have turned down other candidates. I explain to her that i was told by her manager that the place i have offered to already have enough students and my offer was a special arrangement. So, I have considered that no other candidates are waiting for my post.

For whatever she says, it 's just not right, can she please check everything before she actually make a call to people first thing in the morning and ruin ppl's mood.

I did apologise to her about reject the offer. But, throughout the conversation i heard at least four times " I have to report to your university about this, this is unprofessional"...At the end, I starts get angry and be more firm about my stand. I know I am wrong but i haven't sign anything, I already try my best to reply you asap. Why do you keep threatening me?I am just a student, lose me will lose your whole company is it ????(obviously i din say this to her la)

The last things she said to me is still the same threatening words. And , me ? "OKAY FINE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH."

I know i know i have made a lot of mistakes in my pre-reg offers. I learnt my lessons. Can you please have some mercy on students being pressured on making decision? Company can miss their words reject or accept as long as they like. But students? Drag n drag your time, put you in on-hold list for ages,BUT when they need an answer, you must give response straight a way!!!!We as student has no right for more than 2 weeks to make a decision.

Anyway, for everyone who concerns about my problems. I am okay now. I have talked to people in SCHool of Pharmacy and my tutor. They say there is nothing Tsb pharmacy can do to me. They will support me but i need to write an email to them to explain what is happening, so that when complaint letter comes in, they can response straight a way.


Lesson :
Do not agree on anything that you think you are not satisfy with it .
Do not verbally accept anything even though there is no formal documents signed as proof.
Be really firm for those who threatens you!
Make a quick decision!


I know this kind of things not only happen on me. I mean pressure from company. But puisan I am not going to write to RPSGB because i don't want get into any troubles anymore.

Conclusion:
This morning call ruins my whole day :(

I really have learnt the lesson, I will make sure from now on nobody will describe me as unprofessional anymore.
I am really sorry for all inconveniences caused.Sincerely....

I hate retainer!!

Suddenly tonight i got a strong intense to tell everyone that i hate wearing retainer..!!!!

I hate to wear it or sometimes even chose to forget about it .Very purposely* But when i know is not right to do this and start wearing retainer again...what i get is - PAIN.

According to dentist, i have to wear it for life-long. Probably i can only get rid of it when i have to start wearing another thing - denture. T..T

How kids being forced to say HApi BIrd-day to their xiao gu!

Main characters : QiSen, YangYang, TingTing -my nephews and niece(obviously their real name doesn't write like this, but i prefer call them like this..all doubles!)

Here is how i spend my birthday (on my birthday ok!) The solution to split myself among family,love,fren is spend one day before with frens, spend my birthday with my family and spend the day after my birthday with Jason. (oops, he is last !:P)

I personally love this simple video very much, yesterday night I watched this video for 5 to 6 times before go to bed...keep repeating and i do MISS THEM A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!

So, here you go, hope you enjoy the video!

I like kids because when you see them , all stress are gone!:)

decision making again!!!

After I sent out the reject email to north division (2nd time) to make sure they have received my message, I logged in to my university email ....

and, i found out that the lecturer sent me email saying that he manage to transfer me to east division and there is no tie ins which means it is only one year training.

when i already got offer from another company then you tell me this now. I would be really pleased to hear this great news if i have no other choices . But, i got one now.

I am quite lost in making this decision. The offer letter is already with me i got the place i wanted, i love- Cambridge. And, I will be staying with two close friends if i go there, that would be so nice!

The new offer might send me to A or B ( I have never been to these two places before). It's still full of uncertainties, i got no ideas where would i end up. But this company is good.

Not much differences between training scheme i suppose; i know that tutor is the most important person in 52weeks of your life but at the end everything still depend on yourself.

Any comments on how should i make a better choice? your comment is much appreciated. haha

why?why?why?

why things always didn't happen as i wish or as i planned?

why I always like that , didn't follow the plan. So SAD :(

I finally got it!!!!!! :D

Today's weather: very cold a!!!!

I used the fastest speed i can to reach home and as usual the first thing i have to do is off the alarm. But, this time there is one A4 size envelope that attracts my attention, I am wondering..will it be .....

After i grab the envelope from the floor, my first glance ---lloyds...omg why is it from bank..
but after my nerves go through all the synapses....zzz...zzzzziiiii....I think i saw the word PHARMACY!

I faster ran upstairs to open the envelope! Yes, is something i have been waiting long for! Finally....deng ni deng dao wo xin dong.....

So, after have a quick read on what is it in this document. i decided to put it aside and do what i suppose to do next .

Then, I send an email to the company who offered me a place for training. Yes, I have sent it out now. I wonder what they going to say. Please ...........let me go !

I know I have been unethical to accept both offers, but, to get a better choice and put myself in secure position, i have no choice. I am sorry...:(

Hopefully they are kind to me. Have to start praying from now...

Paediatric Pharmacy

Last week we had this lecture about Paediatric pharmacy, this reminds me of having asthma medicines as my friend when i was a kid (i am still a kid now!yippie!)

In this topic, we have to do some essential and further readings in order to prepare answer for seminar on monday. I read about the method they suggested parents to use in order to "tam" kids take their medication which is normally taste owful...Some suggestions are like this:
1. Mix with jam
2.Mix with yoghurt esp for those capsules that you don't wish to break the modified release formulation as you don't have to chew yoghurt rite?

The question i want to ask here is why my parents never taught to feed me this way?
I remember there is once i spit out the syrup right after they fed me, and my dad gets angry and lock me up at the back of the house. I sat outside till late evening, when my neighbour saw me then she bring me back home again. How sad leave me outside alone...


And, i read something about antibiotic is not useful in asthma....!!!!
So why my doctor always gave me antibiotic and that is like 1cm long ...I can't swallow it! So, whenever my dad asks me to take medication, I will start eating those medicines that i think i can swallow and wait until my dad go to front....then ...I will faster throw the antibiotic caplet to the toilet bowl and flush it away!!!When my dad comes back again and ask me whether i have taken my medicines...I will say "YES" happily.....and surprisingly even without antibiotic i am still living in this world ..typing words..so I can prove that antibiotic doesn't work for asthma.

Asthma is a nightmare for my childhood. But, i have to pay the responsibility for it. Turn the time back to 19years ago.....

There is one little girl who always curi-curi make orange juice from concentrate (with ice*) when there is nobody at home. And, she keep repeating this great job almost every afternoon but she doesn't know asthma is walking nearer and nearer towards her...BIngo!!!Finally she got asthma because she always drink orange juice with ice!!!!! so obviously the little gal is me la!!!

I think you might feel weird "huh, drink orange juice also can get asthma one meh?" Yeah, that is true for my case. And, whenever i got asthma my parents will know i must have curi-curi drink some cold drinks or eat ice cream. It never miss once before, everytime i curi makan ice cream i sure get asthma at night!!!!!!Haih.....I can't lie down and sleep properly. The only thing i can do is sit on the bed until i fall asleep, if not once i lie down i will hear the orchestra from my lung!It's so loud.

Ok, tell you some even more weird examples. My nephews seem to have asthma attack too...but they more cham,,their asthma attack is illicited by chocolate, Vitagen...

Moral of the story are....
Never leave your child at home
Never let your child drink too much of cold drinks
:P

上課'生'涯

今天是星期一
教授講課太好聽
我想他會催眠術

排課排到滿滿的
但是不知大家有沒聽進去

開學就是這樣
一個字 累

Journey to taipei I

One of the most meaningful things I have made in my summer holiday is----I manage to bring my parents to taipei, Taiwan. ( Oh, this doesn't mean I didn't spend the rest of my summer holiday wisely ok!) SO, how did we spend our 5 days 4 nights trip in Taipei le?

First day-

I don't know why china airlines like to fly from 2 something in the afternoon and it takes 5 hours to reach there, since your fingers are enough to count this simple maths, it's about 7 something that we reached Taipei. So, nothing much, check in-dinner-walk around in Ximending-sleep.

Second day-

first destination--->Chiang Kai Sek Memorial Hall ( where my dad enjoyed the most) Aiyo~~they start gasping!Ask you all exercise don't want. Now see~~I move faster than you guys!@! I still young ma:P
After you gone through the long stairs successfully!( not really long actually) You will see "copper" version of Chiang Kai Sek.It's quite a huge one!

An overview of Chiang Kai Sek Memorial Hall. But don't think you can see it la!

Chiang Kai Sek and His wife (Song Mei Ling??I am not sure:P)

There is display for public to see how was Chiang Kai Sek's office look like with "WAX" version of him sitting there. It looks quite real actually. (If you know Hokkien, my parents keep saying "jin shxiang o!)

Okla, enough for Chiang Kai Sei Memorial hall because i lazy upload pic la!

---After that, we took 45mins of MRT to TamShui. There are a lot of attractions, but guess where is the only place i went ..Long Shan Shi. There are two Long Shan Shi(temple) in Taipei, however this is not the most famous temple that i went. If you want to go to the most famous Long Shan shi you can take MRT and get down from Long Shan Station.

Due to tireness that everyone can't avoid, we go back to MRT station and take another 40mins to JianTan Station.

Have you heard of Shilin Night Market before?JianTan Station is the station we need to get off to go to the food court where you get to taste all famous foods in Taiwan. In fact, I don't find the food there are really nice but i think 'they' are all interesting because "their" names are really funny. For example, da chang bao xiao chang (direct translate: Big sausage wrap small sausage) . Oh wait, go back to the topic, SHilin night market is located opposite of shilin food court, you just need to cross the road. ( I were so exciting about going to this night market, who knows after finish eating, my dad and bro give me very big reaction! HUH??? Need to walk somemore? Go back Hotel la!!!.....under this kind of situation, i can only follow them back hotel with my yi yi bu she de mood...hmm...i didn't get to go...)

Third Day-

Today everyone learnt our lessons, we rented a car upon request of my family members. And, of course there is driver to drive us around, we paid 4000 taiwan dollar which equal to RM400 for renting the car and hire the driver for 8 hours.

1st destination-Jiu fen. There is a story about the origin of its name-Jiu fen (9 portions). This Jiu fen is located on mountain and there were 9 family staying there.But whenever the residents on this mountain going down to get their groceries, they need to spend one day to come back and forth. SO, they have this idea that they take turn to get things for every family, since there are 9 famillies there, so everytime they need to get 9 portions for everything they buy. SO after long while when they send down their representative, people will shout "jiu fen lai le, jiu fen lai le" (9 portions come d!).....That's what tour guide told me.

This is old street of Jiufen. Although is OLD but is full of people, you can find lots of interesting stuff here.
Look at the chinese words on your left hand side. ( Peanut roll with ice-cream) I know it sounds normal and simple but it tastes really good! Look at the brown thing with rectangular shape, that is where uncle get the peanut powder from.

Here is how the " Peanut roll with ice-cream" looks like. I know it still doesn't look any attractive, but after i finish one, I really feel like eating second roll.

to be continued but don't have to stay tune. :P

U-N-F-A-I-R

A Mad is a Mail can send whatever mails he wants without being charged any cents. Everyone knows he sent countless and useless email. And, the truth is he is safe and he can be exempted from paying money.

But, when someone else also did the same thing as A Mad is a Mail , send email out to others but she got charge for the email she sent.

TIAN LI HE ZAI...mei yan kan!!!

Pa-ss A-way

My eldest uncle's wife pass away. I went for the funeral and I saw someone i knew lying down quietly there. Some kind of weird feeling came up and I chose to hide at the bottom.

When I walk toward the house where they held the funeral. I feel weird because the last time when I walk along the same path, I know I am going to say congrates to my relative because someone in their family is getting marry. But, now I am going there for funeral, this is totally different.

Still, there are lots of people there, but with a different purpose in each visit.

I just want to say..life is full of uncertainty, appreciate what you having now
Ren Sheng Wu Chang Ah....

I will be a tour guide in less than 48 hours!

Yeah, I will be a tour guide for five people in less than 48 hours. Go where? Go Taipei lo, a place I just been once before, don't know where my gut come from to volunteer myself as the tour guide.

I am a bit worry, what if they are tired or bored, what if they don't like the food, what if ...this and that..I am always like that worry too much . But, i seriously didn't plan much, mostly go to those destinations where MRT will go.

Aiyoyo....

I pray for good weather and everything goes well. And, also pray that we won't get lost.

po bi po bi a!!!!!haha
