Last day of 2008. It is quite sad that a year had gone ... 

Jan 2008. Was preparing for autumn exam (and it is the module that I got the best mark amongst my third year exams :p), first exposed to hospital pharmacy environment by going for a two and a half days hospital placement and found out that I like to be a hospital pharmacist very much.

Feb 2008. 3rd year of being away from home during CNY. Miss home so much esp during festive season. Was busy applying for hospital summer vocational placements, and finally got a place in Prince Philip Hospital. 

March 2008. Received good news from darling that he is coming to UK for a short term work. Met with darling in Nottingham and enjoy being together again after 5 months of separation. Also went to London with Gillian over the weekend and we did have a great time spending together. Sound of Music theater performance was so great, it was my first time being in the theater. 

April 2008. Celebrated darling's birthday in Nottingham and mine in Cardiff. Started revision for the upcoming final exams. Was having a hectic life back then, spent most of the time in library, from afternoon till late night. 

May 2008. Level of stress increased to the max nearer to exams time. At least all the hard work get paid by seeing the smiley face on me after each papers. My family members were even worried than me even tho it was me who sit for exams and not them. Post-exam celebration was great, not a real celebration tho, but enjoyed every single moment just relaxing. Packing time was not fun tho. 

June 2008. Yeah got to meet with darling again. Stayed with him in Nottingham for 2 weeks. Started Boots placement in Oxford on the 16th of Jun. Have a lovely time there and most importantly I have learnt alot of pharmacist role during the placement. I am lucky that I've got bunch of lovely and friendly colleagues and tutor. 

July 2008. Nothing special happen. Was still working in Boots. Went to London with gillian on one of the weekends to chill out. 

Aug 2008. Finished the 8 weeks placement with Boots. Started the 2 weeks placement with Prince Philip Hospital. Found out more about hospital pharmacists' role and responsibility. Was on the flight on the 24th Aug flying back to Malaysia. Time flies. Missing that moment.

Sept 2008. My second "honeymoon" trip with darling. First is Paris which was on Spring 2006. This time we went to Bali, Indonesia. All fully sponsored  by my love. Thanks darling! Had family gathering first in Singapore, then KL, then KB. Was spending my greatest time with family and darling and friends. Back to UK on the 28th Sept. 

Oct-Nov 2008. Uni started, busy time, lot of courseworks, presentations, project etc etc. Busy busy busy.

Dec 2008. Holiday season YEAYYY! Final coursework submitted on the 12th, went to Birmingham on that evening, stayed two night in Birmingham and left to Prague on the 14th. There was seven of us: Janet, Hui Ann, Kenneth, Caroline, Gillian, Alice and myself. We enjoyed ourselves very much. Follow by Christmas. Had lots of party with friends, and of course eaten alot too, omg! 

That's all I did in year 2008. Such a loser ... But I did have lovely and memorable time in year 2008. Thanks to everyone that makes my life brighter and filled with colours. I love you guys lot. 

Year 2009. What can I do to make it more meaningful? 

新的一年新希望!明年会更好!祝大家新年快乐,心想事成,万事如意!

Love this photo so much ... for no reason. Thanks to the cameraman, kelantanese Brian Wee. 

Photo taken in church while I was enjoying a mini concert organized by Theresa Lo 2 weeks ago. 

More photos coming up *hopefully* regarding my Prague trip. Was in Prague from the 14th to 17th of December. It is a beautiful place to visit, with gorgeous scenery, it is definitely worth to pay a visit if you were going to Europe! 

Christmas is coming, in 2 days, I have been eating so much these days, and it's Christmas season now, everyone has party at home, more and even more food to digest, I need more Fybogel or Sennakot to help with my digestive system, my stomach is bloated.

Happy anniversary ~
I'm 20 mins late ~ 

11122008 - our 5th anniversary

Darling, we have been through lots of ups and downs in this 5 years. I really glad to have you in my life. Eventho we are far apart, but distance make us strong, we love each other more and we cherish the time we had on the phone. Agree?

I'm so sorry that I've been neglecting you most of the time in this semester, but I'm really glad to have you supporting me all the time throughout this whole semester, it is not a easy semester and I don't think I can survive without you!! 

It has came to the end of the semester, and I'm leaving to Birmingham tomorrow, flying to Prague on Sunday, I wish you could be here together with me, I miss our travelling moment, I miss you so much everyday. Distance is so cruel, it brings us apart, but you will always in my heart. 

I love you.

I'm sure we will have endless anniversary to celebrate for the rest of our life, so I'll wait till the day we can celebrate this special day together~

I'm very very extremely busy for the past few weeks, all for the sake of VPL (our pharmacy group project). Finally everything is done by this afternoon, left only with the presentation and report submition by next week! One final week left for this semester, hooraayyyyy!!!

VPL is killing me, and group members really pissed me off. Discrimination did really happen in this world when comes to group discussion. Options and ideas suggested are not appreciated at all. Wonder do they understand what is meant by "teamwork"?

OK not going to complain anything here, found out that all my previous posts are very negative, I need to write on something positive to make my blog more interesting! 

We were evacuated half way during lecture this morning as the fire alarm went off, don't know the reason but at least gained a few minute to have breakfast, hehe~ Had no time to take breakfast this morning due to the well-known reason, hence the banana ... 

From left: Gillian, Alice, me, Theresa

It is fun to have some time off from the lecture eating banana but it is suffering to stand outside in such a cold weather! That was about 15 mins. 

That's all for tonight. Sorry I am lazy again ~
