Greeting from Devizes..

I'm now in Devizes, south west of England, a small little town, with gillian. We are here for a day trip, spending our lovely day in this small town by enjoying coffee in Costa (enjoying their free wifi service as well).

My life now is filled with lots of activities, including packing. Everyday is a tiring day for me, but im really enjoying it. We had steambot last night and going to St. Fagan tomorrow if the weather is good. So enjoy now.!

K, gonna offline now and enjoy my cup of mocha and orange lemon muffin.

third year of my master course is over, finally ~ i am done with my third year, one more year left and i will be a pre-register pharmacist very very soon. *finger-crossed*

this is the toughest exams i've been through in my entire life. i never feel so stressed before in my life, and thanks God it's over now. i will never want to do this again. NEVER!

my life for the past one and a half month was hectic. sleep wake up shower breakfast library all day study dinner study again then sleep. it was so tough that i hardly breath sometimes, cried for so many times due to the stressfulness, the feeling of giving up was repeatedly flash up in my mind but thanks God i didn't give up but kept working hard throughout that period. i don't know what make me strong to keep me go on all this while, but family support is definitely the biggest push i've had and of course thanks darling for being there listen to my complaint and giving me support when i was really stressed-out. i would say this is the major benefit of being in a relationship that you have someone to lean on cry on when you really need it.

thanks to my dear fellow friends as well who kept supporting and reassured me that i will be fine and i am really glad to have you gals around keeping me calm and moved on with my revision. thanks Gillian who is always there helping me with my revisions, you are the best! muackssss ....!!!

seriously, i've done my best, i've put in 4 or 5 times of hard work compared to that of last year, so i don't care what will my result be after all as i've done my part pretty well. i need a long nice break now before i start with my placement on the 16th June.

I'm dying, trying so hard to survive from memorising now ...

Have been staying in library since 11am, start memorising since 11.05am, till now, it's already 9 hours of memorising, minus 40 mins yam-char (tea-time) with Gillian, a tatol of 8 hours non-stop memorising!!! It's killing, and my brain gonna bust now!

The worst part is after all day memorising, I still haven't finish all the handout, not even half yet, or maybe only half of all the handouts I've got, I left only 13 hours from now till exam at 9am tomorrow. How can I finish memorising all of them by tonight?

Aiksss ... jia you la everyone! I know all of my coursemates are busy memorising at this hour, yes, other than memorising we have nothing else can do, blindly memorise! Got to get back to continue memorising again, sien!

Hahaha purposely hinghlight all the MEMORISING to tell you how much i need to memorise! Hopefully I can still remember clearly what I have been memorised this two days during my exam tomorrow la.!

现在的心情即高兴又担心;

高兴因为开始考试了,
也就是说,
自由离我越来越近了!
我真的真的恨不得快点考完试,
我要自由!
一天到晚闷在图书馆是很难受的!
我再也忍不住了。

担心却因为担心考试不会做啊……
有谁不会担心考试的?
虽然说大至上我都读过一遍了,
但是还有要死背的东西太多了,
怎样才能让头脑更有活力呢?

今天早上考了第一张试卷,
我从昨晚就一直很兴奋,
因为期待已久的今天终于来临了,
考得还好罢了,
花了一整晚的时间来背 antibiotic, anti-bacteria,
只睡了两个半小时,其余的时间都在背anti-bacteria,
死鬼它只出一两题,
早知道就不用读了早点睡觉!

好了,现在要进攻 Endocrinology,
更加伤脑筋的一门,
更多背背背,背了再背的,
祝我好运~

22号12pm我就自由了!
很期待~

hehe I am HAPPY now, mom called at 12am (7am in Malaysia), and this time she isn't busy so we talked longer, and she said something nice to me this time, make me feel so de-stressed! i should say SORRY to her for not being an understanding daughter, as she was busy when she called me the other day, that's why she didn't bother to care of my feeling and said something hurtful accidentally. thanks darling for trying to make me feel better all this while.

thanks to everyone who cares and love me, i love you all too, and i promise i will try my very best in this coming exams, i won't give up easily k.! continue to pray hard for me k~ muackss!!!

Final spring exams is just a week away, am so stressful now!! Every day and night revisions, even at night in my dream also can dream of the notes the topics and the modules!!! Sweat!! The thing is after so many weeks of hard work, there is still stack of handouts that haven't been revised. How? I am seriously have lack of time to finish all of them!!!

Random Pics taken in the library when i was too bored!

Cardiff Uni is just so so so stupid ... They make us (3rd year students) to study so much, so much that you will never understand unless you are here doing 3rd year in Cardiff Uni with me!!! They are just so mad, they think we are God or what, that can study everything and remember everything for the bloody exams!!!

Seriously i can't remember what this handout about, must be something about receptors in the body, or maybe about anti-cancer therapy, aiksss...how am i going to sit for exams? spot my difference colour of STABILO BOSS highlight pen? I got a set of six colours, orange, green, yellow, pink, purple and blue!

Worst thing is that, I got to read this from some student from local university in Malaysia, they are just so "relax" during exams. They have been provided with all, or most, of the questions, or the topics, that will be examined during the exams!! What they need to do is just MEMORISED that particular topics or questions! I am so so so damn jealous! Sometimes i just asked myself why am i so stupid to come over to Cardiff Uni for my degree? Why i don't just stay in Malaysia, take STPM instead of A-Level, then go into local-university then i can easily PASS my exams without fail!! Isn't this is alot better than trying so hard to revise for the exams and the result just barely a PASS, after-all what a company looks for is FIRST CLASS, the grade, and not which University you were from!!!


my mini oreo to boost my energy when i am tired and hungry, from lovely darling, and the mini dictionary, that's from lovely juliet, it really help in revision, instead of trying to guess what the word meant! thanks alot~

We don't get any tips from our lecturers in Cardiff University, not even a single one. What we need to do is read and understand and memorise everything given during lectures, sometimes you don't even have the time trying to understand the concept, what you do is just blindly memorised and there you go for the exams.! It's pretty depends on lucks sometimes, to get or not to get the questions you are familiar and that whether it is still fresh in your mind, if it's not then GOOD LUCK to you!!


This is the only tips i got from my lecturer for one of my modules , which i found it is useless! Read it, and that's exactly what we have for our tips!!! Do you think it is helpful? We have this every year before exams!

I was too streesed out yesterday, i cried hopelessly, i know i still have to go on. Luckily i have my darling here in the UK, although he is not directly next to me, but it is good that i can call him anytime i want, without worry of what's the time in malaysia and what will he be doing when i wanna call.

and just wanna tell someone here, it is not very useful when i called and said i was stressed-out for the whole day, and your replied is ... what are you thinking of? why can't u concentrate? did you revise your work everytime after each lectures? why didn't you do so? bla bla bla .... Come on, why can't you give some useful advise that can actually make me smile and keep going on with my revision? (and this come from my nearest family members, that's why i hate to call home when i am really stressed! Maybe you don't even realise what you said to me is actually hurting me! Please be more understanding!!!)
