Lunch @ Chopsticks Restaurant, Didcot

Starter: Thai prawn rolls with sweet chilli

Main course: Singapore style rice vermicelli

Had an hour lunch break and didn't prepare any packed lunch, and was damn hungry, so op for chinese for lunch. They are always so nice to me, they served me this starter which is not even in their lunch menu, and they gave me super huge portion of vermicelli coz i told them i am super hungry, and there is no vegetable in the vermicelli as i don't like any of them. Both are served specially for me lol.

Tomorrow will be the last day of my one-week unpaid holiday :( I am back to work as a newly qualified pharmacist on Monday, feeling super nervous now but I am sure I'll be fine. Fyi, I had been offered a job from Boots as a relief pharmacist, which mean I need to do alot of traveling to difference stores everyday, mainly in Oxfordshire. Actually, I'm looking forward to this new chapter of my life, though not a huge different from what I been doing this whole year, the only different is I need to take responsibility to everything happened in the pharmacy now, I am the responsible pharmacist, and I have to make my own professional judgement when dilemma comes, omg!

Anyway, all the hard work for the past five years had finally paid off. I'm so proud of myself. A huge thank you to all my friends and family, who stood by me and gave me the support I need all the time.

My badge + certificate as a pharmacist.
I can finally call myself a registered pharmacist.

Happy New Year 2010 to you ...

I'm excited for this new year 2010, mainly because i'll be home in less than a month :P

Finally i had a white christmas this year (oh well should be last year 2009) after so many years in the UK, in fact i had both white christmas and new year :) so excited to see snowy Cardiff as well as Didcot but too bad i didn't take any snowy pics at all this time, coz i haven't got my usual gang who love to snap pics :(

Random pic taken on christmas day - posing with my present :)

Goshhh I had put on weight, look how ROUND my face is!! People who i seen on Christmas day all said i had put on weight!!! Shit shit shit ... but on a brighter side, it meant I been living "healthily" in Didcot :)

My 2010 new year resolutions:
- study hard for the upcoming pre-reg exam
- make use of all the opportunities i have now in-store to learn to be the best pharmacist
- not late for work :)
- watch my diet, no more round face
- etc :p

:(
Currently no plan yet for boxing day sale,

it would be the 5th boxing day shopping in Cardiff this year,
so sad.

2009-12-14T21:21:00.002Z

For the very first time in my life,
i seen a shooting star,
yes a shooting star, just one!!!
It was last night,
by the river,
under the beautiful sky :)
It gone so quickly,
i didn't had a chance to make a wish,
abit disappointed really :(
but at least i enjoyed myself :p

2009-11-20T20:12:00.003Z

It has been a long time since I last updated my blog, nothing special happened really, just normal routine everyday, wake up - breakfast - work - tea break - work - lunch break - work - home - dinner - sleep. Oh well if you are concern, I'm fine, work is OK, tiring sometimes but just got to get used to, I will need to spend the rest of my life going through this kind of life.

Had done both the 13th week reviews now (RPSGB and Boots interim review), after nagging my tutor for the whole week, fooohhhhh can relax abit now till the next review, 26th week review, which fall on the week before I flying home for CNY.

I have a half day off today, for christmas shopping. I didn't do any shopping at all but just spend the time sleeping at home. Every year before christmas, Boots employee are given a half day off to do their christmas shopping, it is great isn't it, esp for people like me who don't really celebrate Christmas to spend more time in bed :p

Good news - I'm going to be a young pretty aunty to my baby niece soon, on the 23rd Jan 2010.

It has been 12 weeks since I started my pre-reg with Boots. 40 weeks to go ... till I qualified.

This is the 3rd time i went to Luton for courses. We went through hectic days this time, too much information, too much to learn in that 2 days (I was there on Tuesday and Wednesday). It was all about cardiovascular diseases and consultation skills in those 2 days.

Anyway, forget about the courses, I did have a wonderful night in Luton. I was staying in a hotel which located right next to the Arndale Centre, the place where I need to go for courses. The course started at 10am, so I slept through till 8.40am, when Chui San (a friend which stays in the same hotel as me) called, I guess I won't able to get up if not because of her call :)

The course finished at about 4.15pm on Tuesday, we went to check in to the hotel after that. Boots booked the hotel for me in advance, and know what, they booked the single room with dinner and breakfast for me, what a surprise!! I was told that I have 27.50 food allowance and 7.50 pounds drink allowance to spend on. How good they treated me :p

But because we are meeting another 2 friends for dinner, so I didn't spend the 27.50 pounds in the hotel, hotel food is always not as good as Nando's, haha, so we had Nando's piri piri chiken instead. Had a lovely time chatting with them, Chui San, Shara and Anne. I think we spent 2 hours or more in Nando's haha.

After dinner, San and me went for sauna and steam, i can't remember when was the last time i went to sauna, but i enjoyed steaming myself so much. We wanted to swim but too bad both of us haven't had swimming suit, so we promise we will definitely bring swimming suit with us the next time we are there (January maybe).

I think I lost some calories after the steam, hahaha. So we went on to order room service, not feeling hungry, but don't want to waste the 27.50 pounds, hehe. We ordered 2 soup of the day and 2 desserts, not very good but satisfied :p and went straight to sleep after the supper. So if you see me getting fatter or having big tummy, don't laugh ok!!

Next day wake up having full English breakfast, my favourite, yummy yummy!!!!

Life in Luton is so good this time, like living in heaven, Boots is treating me extremely well this time, I love them so much now, just because of the hotel, hahaha. Still deciding whether I shall stay to work for them after I qualified .... (probably not).

I have a c2pid customer that came in with a prescription yesterday, and he was coughing non-stop right in front of me while waiting for me to get his prescription dispensed, such an idiot. He was coughing really badly while i was labeling the prescription items, exactly right in front of me, few cm away from me, facing me, arghhhhh...!!! The dispenser did "hint" him, asked him if he would like to do some shopping and come back for his prescription later, but he bloody idiot just said NO i will wait for it here. So I tried not to breath while labeling the script, coz I don't want to inhale all the virus from him and get sick, whats more I don't know if he had swine flu.

Oh well, i think swine flu is getting better over here in the UK, but winter is coming, so it's flu season again, how can one differentiate if that is a normal seasonal flu or swine flu (oh, I would probably have to do a CPD cycle regarding swine flu vs seasonal flu).

OK back to the idiot customer, i had headache last night (yes after serving that idiot), and still feeling unwell this morning, and started to have runny nose, and feeling so tired all day in work, shit shit shit, I think my body is fighting hard against the virus that I inhaled from that idiot yesterday, please please please let my body be stronger and kill all the virus, I don't want to be ill. Will sleep early tonight, hope I will get better tomorrow.

2009-09-12T12:08:00.004+01:00

Can't believe I have came to the end of the 7th week of my pre-reg, time flies isn't it? I'm slowly adapting to working life, I mean I have accepted the fact that I have to get up early every morning to get myself ready for work, and don't feel sleepy while working anymore. I miss my student life so much now, but i know this is part of life, the "adverse reaction" of growing up so i have to face it :)

For some reason, this is the most dreadful week I've been through. Don't worry everything is fine, work and colleagues are treating me very well, just some emotional problem, that I thought it will resolve by itself this weekend, but obviously I'm wrong. This weekend isn't as excited and wonderful as I thought it will be. Oh well, blame the PMS ...

I haven't been to cinema for a long long long time d, I want to watch Final Destination, but ....... it is too expensive to watch it in the cinema, mind you I am no longer a student, so I have to pay the bloody adult price for one movie, which is GBP 6.60, what's more we only have Final Destination 3D over here, which cost GBP 2.20 on top of the adult fare. How can I afford GBP 8.80 for a movie? So the conclusion is, stay at home "grow mushroom" and stare at the wall instead of cinema :(

Anyone please help:

A lady and a boy (her son) came to me to pay for their shopping, then the lady asked:

"do you have a piece of tissue paper?"

"yes certainly."

(then I pull out a piece of tissue from the normal tissue box and handed to her)

"that is tissue, I need tissue paper, it's ok if you don't have one."

So what is the difference between tissue and tissue paper. For me, they are the same, maybe I am too stupid for not knowing what is a tissue paper, so please tell me the difference.

This is the 3rd week of being a pre-reg pharmacist in Boots, Didcot.

Everything went alright.

The 1st week was abit boring though, as I was still new to the store, so it takes time to get myself adapted to the environment there. Colleagues are all very helpful and nice and friendly, thanks God!! Everything becomes more clear to me now in work. The people here is really friendly, especially the elderly. I will introduce myself to them when i really bored (when the store is quiet).

As i don't need to wear a uniform while working (while others in the store need/must wear a uniform except for the pharmacist), people will just walk up to me and think i am a pharmacist, then hit me with lots of questions. Good thing is when I answered all of their queries and decided to sell them something, but still need to double check with the pharmacist, this happened:

"well, i will speak to the pharmacist and see if this is the best thing you can take ..."

"oh i thought you are a pharmacist ..."

"no i am not a pharmacist, i am a pre-reg pharmacist, a trainee pharmacist ..."

"but you did well, you explained everything very clearly, i'm sure you will be a good pharmacist soon .."

(smiling happily in my heart :p)

That's summary of my work life now.

Accommodation wise, yo i love my room so much!!! but no pic taken yet as i am still trying hard to clear every unused stuffs in my room. I thought I have thrown half of my stuffs away while i was still in Cardiff, but no, i still got hell lot of stuffs here with me in Didcot now. Arghhh!!!

2009-07-24T15:02:00.002+01:00

don't know how to describe my emotion now, it was terribly bad yesterday.

frankly speaking, i don't want to leave Cardiff to go to Didcot. i don't know what to do to survive this brand new start. i don't have a single friend there, no one i can seek for help when i'm having problem. how am i going to survive?

half of me actually scare of pre-reg itself, i already forgot everything i learnt in this 4 years, but this is not the main point, because i have confidence that once i start working, things will just came back to mind, or more reading will bring everything back to mind. the worst worst thing is the place that i'm going to, with no friend at all :(

can i really survive in there for a year? please pray hard for me, to meet all the good and helpful and kind people, so that my life in Didcot would be a better one.

2009-07-02T21:42:00.002+01:00

Yeahh I'm seeing my parents and 2 sisters this Saturday, can't wait can't wait can't wait anymore! However, I haven't got a detailed plan for them yet for their visit in the UK. Please can anybody tell me where else can we go in the UK. For now, I can only think of Cambridge, Bath and North Wales. Is all those places worth visiting? Tell me tell me tell me!!!

Well, about my graduation, I am really excited for it, but I haven't think of anything to wear on that day. Anyone, any idea? I can't wait to throw the cap up to the sky, as high as possible ~

I'm no longer a student, sob sob. Last week we went for movie, Transformer, adult ticket is so damn expensive. Gosh i paid GBP 6.90 for that show (where you only pay GBP 4.40 for student ticket, what's more when you have the buy two for one student promotion from studentbeans :S)

How's working life? I am so going to step into it soon, in less than a month time. But it seems like we are having problem with the visa application thing, so I am abit worried now, don't have any clue what's going to happen next :(

OK till here for now. Sorry for my laziness. Mr Banana called me LayZee, yes maybe I should admit this :p (but not in front of him).

2009-06-13T00:27:00.003+01:00

It has been more than a month that I never update my blog :)
Was too busy enjoying myself right after the final 3 tests of my undergraduate year.

Well, now that everything had came to the end.
I'm officially done with my MPharm.
I'm a graduate student now.
Well done!!!

I was over-enjoyed for the past few weeks,
went here and there,
especially Cornwall trip,
which is a heavenly beautiful place.
Now everyone had left Cardiff,
most of them went back home,
Theresa, Michelle, Mandy, Wunhwei etc etc.
Gillian went to Italy and Paris,
I am home alone now :(

When loneliness and boredom hit,
you can't help but doing something really boring,
for me,
i was on facebook restaurant city for the whole day,
thanks so much to Nata who introduced this to me.
It really helps to kill my time.

Well, I am going to Newcastle on Monday,
can't wait to see my darling.
We will definitely have a lovely time together.

Stay tune,
i have got alot pics of difference events to post,
but just .... LAZY :)

2009-05-07T23:48:00.003+01:00

i seem like so free these days, just don't feel like doing anything anymore. well, classes started on tuesday, as well as my part time job, i need not to go for lectures/workshops and work for so so so long d, really no mood to go for classes or work anymore. but i have no choice :-(

was dragging myself out from bed every morning this week, going back to uni for lectures is exciting and boring at the same time, excited because can see all my coursemates after so many months (we haven't got lectures for 5 months d) but bored because need to pay attention during lectures and sit for the tests. worst thing is need to prepare for the class, got a few homework to be done at home. aiksss can't remember when is the last homework i had, maybe in secondary school?

few more days till i really truly free. yeahhh..!

i got so much to think of now, all about future. even though i have secured a job since last year, but there is still so much to do and to think of. can i not think of it at all?

things that i need to do to prepare for my pre-reg (job) and graduation:

# study study study to pass my final tests.

# go to Didcot to visit the store i'm going to work in and to meet my tutor, to sign some really important document.

# look for a room in Didcot.

# take pic (passport size) for the pre-reg registration.

# submit my pre-reg registration form ASAP.

# get my hair cut and shopping to get ready for final year dinner.

# order graduation gown and photo shooting thingy.

# plan for my UK trip with family in july.

# plan for my holiday in may-june with friends.

those are the things i need to get them done ASAP. busy busy busy.

for my accommodation, i am thinking between sharing a room with somebody that i don't know at all in a house/flat, and renting a one-bedroom flat/studio apartment. which one is better? with the sharing option, i can pay less, but i don't know who am i staying with, it can be abit scary to stay with someone you don't know at all. with the one-bedroom flat, it is god damn expensive, minimum 550 pounds per month, exclude all the bills and council tax. any suggestion?

just a boring post, because i am way too lazy to do my work :)

oh ya, it's mommy 55th birthday today, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU mommy, hope you have a wonderful celebration in Singapore. I LOVE YOU.

2009-05-04T00:57:00.006+01:00

aiksss, i thought i am not going to update my blog throughout this long weekend, but i failed myself, i have to blog as i have nothing to do while waiting for the c2pid megavideo. i am watching HK drama EU currently through an online website, and this c2pid megavideo can only watch for 72 minutes, then need to wait for another 54 minutes before i can continue watching again. it is very very annoyed to see those words pop up on screen. grrhhhh!!! so while waiting for the 54 minutes, i have nothing to do but to blog :)

talk about my project. most of you would have wondered why i have so many sexy pics on my poster, i am not doing project on pornographic ok, but i was dealing with anti-breast cancer treatment and it's mode of delivery. i wanted to post these pics up since the first day i started on the project, but .... you know .... LAZY!!!

WARNING: 18SX gross pictures below, don't read or look at those pics if you can't take it :)

strip of pig's nipples.

i need to wash and dissect them,

every week!!

i will never forget how disgusting the nipples were,

especially the smell.

cut out one nipple from the strip,

then cut off all the fat layer underneath,

left only the nipple and the outer skin layer.

i was so pro in cutting them towards the end of experiment,

so anyone,

if you need help in cutting ppl's nipple then let me know,

i can help you.

then put the nipple in between this cell,

it is called Franz diffusion cell,

it is used to test the penetration of drugs through the skin.

it will be left there for 6 hours,

and that is what i always complaint about,

as i will have nothing to do while waiting for the 6 hours.

normally we will went out yam-char in town.

and after 6 hours,

chiang chiang chiang,

nipples nipples nipples.

TLo said they looked like 荷包蛋,

waakakaka.

and yeah,

that is what i have been dealing with,

for the past 3 months.

does it look good? haha.! i am so damn happy it is all over, no more project, no more lab session, no more thesis. i am getting nearer to the end of this chapter, moving into the next chapter really soon. anyway, i am really blessed to have a kind and helpful project supervisor, and really a huge huge thanks to gillian who helped me with all the questions and difficulties that i faced throughout the project. muacksss.!

me and my supervisor and our baby thesis :)

i forced him to take this pic,

and he said i am crazie.

(G, u shud post up yours as well,

coz u 2 really look like father and daughter)

A huge thanks to my supervisor, coz he helped us with all the printing, i have saved alot for the printing and laminating, i spent only GBP 7.80 for the laminator pockets, and that's all, all the printing FOC, it's good right? 55 pages for 1 copy, and i need to hand in 3 copy, total of 165 pages, which would have cost me alot alot if i were to print it by myself. and i am going to ask him to print another copy for me, need to keep one as memories, it contains all my hard work!!!

2009-05-03T02:23:00.007+01:00

23rd April 2009 - MPharm 4 project poster presentation day.

Was so so so damn nervous a night before the poster day, until i got headache, migraine. So i slept earlier that night, even though i haven't finish preparing for my poster. It was a super bad experience on preparing our poster (gillian and me), and i swear that is the worst experience throughout my life. Pardon my laziness, i am really lazy to type the whole story here, it was a long long story, but glad that the presentation went well and it is over now. Just hope that i don't confused the examiners with my Manglish. Yes Manglish, which my supervisor concerned so much about.!

Pic taken while waiting to enter the great hall, student union.

from left: Atsuko, Suriani, WunHwei, myself and Gillian

us with Michelle, gillian as camera-lady.

all of us were damn nervous,

but we still smiled happily in front of the camera,

girls are always girls,

can't resist from camera.

me with my lovely poster,

they looked great, aren't they?

love it to the max.

and yeah C15 was my number,

lucky number!!!

photo taken after our presentation,

walked around to snap pics with my mates,

MPharm 4 girls rock!

haha, i am in love with my poster,

can't stop posing with it.

K, you love it too, aren't you?

I showed this pic to my supervisor,

and he laughed,

said i was acting like a pro,

trying to explain my poster to the camera -.-"

K and me again,

the poster at the back (C16)

belongs to Gillian.

Pharmacists-to-be

from

60 Colum Road,

Thanks girls for all the helps and supports!

and this,

everybody love this pic on the poster,

ham-sup!!

This is not pornographic ok,

it is an example of how i going to formulate

the drug into this device.

and and and,

they aren't my idea at all.

me and gillian: drug delivery

theresa and wunhwei: health & med.

phillip: medicine chemistry

taadaaa ...

with theresa

and her poster (A17),

too bad can't see her poster clearly.

i love my poster so much, so i stick them on the wall in my room, looking at my precious poster day and night, feel proud of myself for producing such a great poster. Maybe it is not the best poster afterall, but that is the best i can do. I'm loving it :)

2009-05-01T02:20:00.002+01:00

before i disappear for the next few days,

i want to shout,

i want to scream,

i want to get really crazy,

10098 words,

all my hard work for the project had come to the end,

i am a happy girl now.

Finally my poster presentation is over .... feel so much better now.! It wasn't THAT bad as what i thought it will be. At least I still managed to handle/answer the questions that the examiners asked. I know my presentation was really really bad, seriously bad, and i can do alot better if i have more time to prepare :p All gotta blame my supervisor for delaying me.!

OK should leave it to another post about poster day itself. Coz i haven't got any pic of the poster day now, will get it from friends tomorrow and hopefully i will have time to update it asap. Mind you, i still got thesis to write and submission date is next friday, 1st of May. I am so eager to show you guys my precious baby now.

It was taken using my iPhone, that's why it is so blurry.

Bare with me, i will post up nicer pic when i got them from theresa and michelle k.

Talk about the free meal from supervisor now. I being so evil keep "forcing" supervisor to treat us lunch throughout the period of carrying out project, and he surrendered by taking us for Japanese on Monday, we went to Ichiban in Cowbridge Road, Cardiff. A night before, I texted him, said i want to go to somewhere far away, and want to go there by car, don't want to walk, hahaha. So we ended up in his "mini" car, which belongs to his daughter actually (i called it "mini" because the car is so small and he is so big in size, it looks so funny seeing him driving such a small car)

The car is slightly bigger than our Kancil. and got the hello kitty hanging there, OMG!! awwww!!! I keep teasing him saying that the car doesn't match his size, and he replied SHUT UP. waakaka!!

and see, this is him, can see how BIG is he? and he is amazing, he knows how to use chopstick!! and he loves wasabi, he can take more wasabi than i do, without tears!!!

3 girls: gillian, me and nor (from left). Nor is doing phD under the same supervisor of mine.

This is one of the food we ordered. California maki. We ordered quite much actually, don't need to care for the price, just order what we want to eat, or feel like eating, so nice right! hahaha! We also ordered spider maki, unagi don, seafood pancake.

Okie i shud sleep now. Thought of posting some interesting spring blossom pics but will do that next time, tired now. Will get a day off from project tomorrow, just don't feel like thinking on project anymore, for at least one more day! Thesis submission on next Friday, hopefully there is no last minute work like this morning anymore!!! *pray hard*

2009-04-18T01:51:00.006+01:00

This is a late post.

01.04.09 - 03.04.09

Manchester with Leeli and ah Beng and ah Cheng.

Train at 7.30am from Cardiff and arrived at Manchester Piccadilly at 11.15am. Went straight to the Macdonald Manchester Hotel to meet with Leeli, and off we go to visit Old Strafford football stadium.

manchester united

=@=

in the player's changing room.

and those two are their jersey.

the field.

actually it is not as huge as what in my mind.

this is the canal where the players

come out from before the match.

it links to their changing room.

man. utd.

fans anyone?

After visiting Old Trafford, we went to The Trafford Centre for shopping. It is one of the largest shopping mall in the UK. It is really huge, double or even triple the size of St. David arcade we have in Cardiff. And the interior design made me feel like shopping in Sunway Pyramid back in Malaysia. Goshhh I spent so much there!! Bought like 5 items in a day. Gonna stop myself from buying stuffs d!!

At night we met with ah Beng for dinner, had chinese meal, super delicious.! and of coz had lot of laughter too. We were so tired that we slept till noon the next day. Manchester has nothing much for sight seeing, so we ended up shopping again the second day, in city centre. Wanted to have dimsum but we don't know the way to the famous yet cheap restaurant :( then get back to hotel to rest while waiting for ah Beng and ah Cheng. Went for another chinese meal again after they were ready.

Manchester has so much nice and delicious food, not like Cardiff. Mind you, we only have 2 well-known chinese restaurant in Cardiff, pity pity! But consider lucky for not studying in Manchester, or else i think i will put on lot of weight :p

with ah Cheng.

on our way back to Leeli's room.

with ah Cheng and Leeli.

Just realised that we didn't take any picture together with ah Beng throughout our stays in Manchester. paiseh paiseh.

That was my Manchester trip. Nice to see you Leeli, hope to see you more in UK. and Thanks for the food you bring all the way from Singapore for me. Miss you lotsss!

现在才发觉，

自己是世界上最幸福的女孩！

虽然在爱情上我是彻底的失败，

但是我还是最幸福的！

说不出为什么，

但此时此刻的我，

随时都在微笑！

原来，快乐掌握在自己手里！

*finger cross*

2009-04-11T14:31:00.004+01:00

Finally the lab session had over, no more lab work for me anymore *finger cross*

Had been busy doing write up these days, progress is so so so damn slow. Everything had gone out of plan most of the time, really gonna slap myself for being such a lazy-bum!!

It's a long weekend this week, with Good Friday and Easter Monday off as well. Everyone is going off for a trip or holiday, but this poor lil' girl here been stuck in the house writing report, with the sunny weather outside :(

But it's fine, at least i am not alone, i have family support, i have friends on MSN accompany me throughout my dull days, i have housemates and coursemates who are sitting on the same boat as me, and and and the most importantly, i have my supervisor helping me most of the time. I think his life is alot worst than me, because he has me this stupid student, ask for help in every single piece of work. I've sent thousands of text messages and emails to him for the past 3 days, and he is just so kind to reply every single text and email from me.

Few funny email or text replied from him:

Me: Can you help me ... bla bla bla ....

(it was 10.30pm when he replied)

Charles: You want me to do this NOW? Maybe you can buy me dinner in Didcot in return.

(Didcot is the place i'm going to work after graduated)

Me: I thought you are the one who need to buy me dinner at both Cardiff and Didcot?

Charles: Oh no, you are too expensive for me, I can't afford you!

[and he really help reading and checking my report at such hour]

and I've been improving the experiment result for bloody 2 days, and sent to him again last night, texted him this morning to said i've sent final perfect results to him, and guess what is his reply?

Him: Hey pest, I've sent your results back 20 mins ago, not quite perfect yet.

Me: =.=" (sweat!!)

So there is more to improve, and I started moaning at him through text.

He replied: Stop moaning at me, you are the one who ask me to improve it!

Again, =.="" (even more sweat)

In the email, I apologized for ruining his peaceful long weekend, and he replied, it's ok, you can ask for help from me anytime, u know. Awwww ... i feel touched!!

and and and, the worst thing is, he said i should start writing on the discussion part, so that he can start translating them into English. WTH, i am writing in English!!! Grrghhhhhh..!!!

Oh maybe the worst thing is he made promised to treat us lunch on Friday, but he never reply my email when i asked about it. Huh, gonna bring him out this Tuesday and we gonna go to the most expensive restaurant this time, very geram!!!

1 and a half week left to poster day, and 2 and a half week left to thesis submission day, i'm seriously getting nervous, can feel the stress hitting on my body now!! Can i manage to finish everything by the deadlines?

"When the boat reaches the jetty, it will become straight"

direct translate from 船到桥头自然直, my buddy's favourite verse.

feel like smacking him on his head, really! :p

Think i should get back to my write up, promise to email my supervisor by this evening. Hopefully I can finish by then.

and will be out enjoying with my girls tonight, can't wait!!!

2009-04-09T21:16:00.006+01:00

It's spring now, flowers blooming everywhere, sunny weather, waaa i damn love the sun here in the UK, just love to walk under the sun. I know you will say i'm crazy if you are staying in Malaysia/Singapore etc, but you will definitely agree with me if you are here in the UK with me!!!

Last week after hair cut, went to this random park on our way home from city centre, and start our crazy moment by non-stop taking photos.

*p/s: all photos above are taken in the park in front of Cardiff City Hall, sorry i'm lazy to do caption one by one. One thing to mention here is, laying down on the grass is very very comfortable, so soft even nicer than my bed!!!

2009-04-06T16:41:00.002+01:00

Working in the lab during Easter break is not fun at all, seriously!!! Everyone is staying at home busy writing up but WTH i am still here carry on with experiment??? I don't want to come back to this lab anymore!!! I need time to do my write up!!! I'm so damn pissed off now!!! Anyway, photo above is taken by my supervisor, me with my precious PIG's nipples, which had been set up in the diffusion cells. I seriously need to speed up my writing pace, have been working so slow all these weeks, one more month to go! Gambate! Can't wait d ...!!!!

2009-04-06T01:34:00.003+01:00

Oopppssss ...

突然间觉得明天剪短头发是对的，

不管效果是美是丑，

都不重要了，

最重要的是，

我要重新开始，

忘掉一切重新开始！

加油吧！

刚刚领悟到：

男人的承诺是毫不值钱的！！！

2009-03-28T17:42:00.004Z

Finally, I've made appointment to have hair cut on Tuesday, 1.30pm. Yet, I am still deciding shall i really cut my hair short this time? I have been having long hair for 7 years, after form 5 till now, i already forgot about the look of myself in short hair. Am I ready to go for it again?

Last summer when I was back in Malaysia, I was all ready to have my hair short in the saloon, but the hair stylist didn't want to do that for me, she said I would need to straighten my hair if I were to cut short, so I ended up having a long hair again. So now, shall I go for short hair?

I've done a few research from internet about the short hair styles. Here you go, and please give me comment on which one suit me the best ok. Thanks in advance.

I like the 3rd and the final style. What do you think?

Another problem would be, how to describe the style I want to a ang mo stylist? Can they really understand me if I were to describe to them?

2009-03-20T11:55:00.003Z

The weather in Cardiff this week has been so perfect! I love the sunshine ... too bad I got stuck in the lab most of the time during the day. But yesterday we decided to pamper ourself with the sunshine, we had a walk to the town in the evening, had a late lunch in town and enjoyed our evening by chit chatting, shopping and done no work at all. What a perfect day..!!!

Cardiff City Hall, one of the nicest building in Cardiff.

me with yellow daffodil, Wales' national flower.

Finally it is spring now, weather is just so perfect for picnic in the park, surrounded with the grooming flowers, waaaa ... i definitely need a day off from the lab and have fun in the park!!! Anyone interested? You're welcome to join me ... :p

2009-03-14T17:55:00.004Z

It's Saturday, and I had been relaxing myself since I woke up. Don't feel like doing any work, just want to keep my mind off from FYP. Found this in Facebook, a personality test, and here is the result for myself:

(Click here for the test)

Your view on yourself:
Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.
(how to be true-self? am i not true all this while?)

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

(attractive so what? also got dumped by my ex. but i believe everything happened for reason, maybe there is someone which is better out there waiting for me, if it is so, please let the someone appears soon!)

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

(haha, am i ready? i don't know, right now i've lost my confidence towards love!!)

The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

(i like to flirt? omg!! never know this!!!)

Your views on education
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.
(practical ideas? what does that mean? it's so true that i don't like to study :p and thanks god my study life is coming to an end. unusual job? meaning i will ended up not practicing as a pharmacist?)

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
(i will try my best :p)

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

(haha, i love this comment the most! yeah!!!)

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

(is this true? i don't know .... can someone tell me please!!)

Who is your true self:
You like privacy very much because you enjoy spending time with your own thoughts. You like to disappear when you cannot find solutions to your own problems, but you would feel better if you learned to share your thoughts with a person you trust.

(yeah this is true, i seriously need to learn how to share my problems with someone else!)

iPhone3G in Malaysia ...

by Maxis.

我已经很久很久没有被告知有关Malaysia's technology的新闻了，以前都是他霹雳啪啦有的没的讲个不停，尤其是有关DiGi电话公司的事，不要听也不能，现在要听都没人要讲了！我们曾经很笨的在讨论DiGi的事，他每次都会赞DiGi几好又几好，我就会很赖皮的反对，有时还会因为如此而吵架，多么幼稚 :p

在我们还没买iPhone之前，他还在担心，会不会他在英国买了iPhone后，DiGi在马来西亚却拿到了售卖权等等之类的无聊问题，现在可好啦，他最讨厌的Maxis标到了iPhone的售卖权，他也无话可说了，嘻嘻！不知他现在的心情如何，在和谁投诉Maxis的问题，有没有人聆听他说说DiGi的好，但应该是不会有人再和他耍赖皮的顶嘴了！

这个post不是在推销iPhone，绝对不是，只是要说说我和他之间曾经拥有过的DiGi's回忆，他真的是百分百的DiGi代言人！我，还是会想他 ......

2009-03-09T21:08:00.003Z

I actually had another day day off from lab tomorrow :p But I gotta go in to the lab in the morning for a couple of hours to get the solution ready for Wednesday's experiment. You know how lousy is our lab? One of the equipment (water bath) broke down last week, and now we left with only one, sharing among 5 or 6 of us in the lab. So need to take turn to use it. Arghhh I'm getting worried now, I don't want to go back to the lab during Easter break to continue doing the project. Please let me finish everything before Easter!!!

This is funny:

Don't let a man get too ego, or else his nose will get bigger, as big as our fifty cent coin, or can be even bigger till a lorry can side-park there :p

(OK this would be lame for you, because you don't know the full story behind this. My friend told me this when we were chatting on MSN, and I can't stop smiling to my laptop screen. I have to control myself not to burst out laughing loud as I was in the lab, my supervisor will kill me if he knows I am chatting in the lab)

Another one here:

Must remember the past, as it was your happiness, but remember, it will not be your future!

So yeah, what happen is already happened, and they will be the happiest moment I ever had, but I am sure they will be lots more coming soon, and they are part of the best memories of mine. I'm 99.99% fine now! At least I've grown up from this painful experience, I know what to expect next. Big big clap for myself.

And ohhhh .... Look at this ..... I'm drooling now ....

It is Penang Har Mee (Prawn noodle), cooked by Mei Lan. It tasted really delicious, seriously! Who said Cardiff doesn't have nice food? She had cooked so much yummy food for us, just that I haven't got time to post them up. Thanks alot, Mei Lan. Damn, I miss this so much. Can cook again for me? Please!!! :p

2009-03-09T00:26:00.002Z

I had Thursday and Friday off from lab this week :p

But now the long weekend had come to the end.

I need to get back to my normal daily routine,

sleep and wake up early to go to the lab :(

I hate it so much.

It will be the 7th week of lab work tomorrow,

I have another 3 or 4 more weeks to go,

follow by Easter break (3 weeks),

then then then ....

23rd April - FYP Poster Day

1st May - FYP Thesis Submission Date

Wish me lucks k!

OK so ....

What have I done in this loonnngggg weekend?

I baked a coffee sponge cake for my housemate, KarEng.

It was his 25th Birthday on the 5th of March.

I eat, I sleep, I chat, I online ...

and also planning for my family's UK trip in July.

Now I have had a rough idea where to visit to in this coming July.

Of course I also did some work on my FYP thesis :p

Thanks to Theresa for forcing me to do my work.

She promised to cook me dinner if I manage to finish work before she comes home,

but if I don't then I will have no dinner tonight.

Yeahhh I manage to finish the work I specifically told her I will do for today.

Altho not alot but at least I did do something.

Now I don't feel guilty anymore as I normally do for the past few weeks.

I need to go to bed now. I need my beauty sleep :p

Arghhhhhh

Hate the fact that tomorrow is Monday!

Hate to go back to the lab and start working with pig's nipples!

Hate to stuck in the lab all day from Monday to Friday!

#@$%^&*(&^%$#

2009-03-06T23:54:00.004Z

Let's share the pic of my two leng cai that we saw tonight :p

They are just so adorable.

I love them so much.

They are sibling but have difference characteristic.

One is so cool and another one is a lil' chicky.

Tom and Sam (from left).

I fancy Sam, and Gillian fancy Tom.

hehe.

Poor Sam, he felt down and broke his wrist.

Get well soon, Sam.

Haha,

the above pic is cropped from this particular pic la.

They are the only kids that went to the Unicef charity concert.

and they are just so cute,

we can't resist from not taking pic with them.

They are Dr Andrew Westwell's kids.

Yeah, i went to this Unicef charity concert tonight.

It was organized by Cardiff University Unicef on campus society.

All the fund raised today is going to children in developing countries,

who need food, medication and sanitation.

The concert is presented by:

Cardiff Uni Blank Verse

Cardiff Uni Brass Band

City of Cardiff Concert Band

It was a really nice performance,

but i am not a music person,

so i feel abit sleepy in between.

but overall it was very good.

I enjoy every single bits to the max.

2009-03-05T23:44:00.003Z

I tried on Baju Kebaya last weekend, this is seriously the very first time for me trying on baju kebaya :p It is our Malaysia traditional clothing but so shameful that I never put it on before.

But nevermind, at least I've tried to put it on now, for a few minutes, haha!

It's belong to Umi's (my coursemate), Gillian borrowed from her to wear to Festival Of Diversity, also known as Malaysian's night.

But we both ended up in Chinese traditional for the night, which is cheongsam.

I think I look nice on baju kebaya, agree? :p

Maybe I should tailored make one when I go back to Malaysia, so that I have something to wear on for the occasion that needed traditional clothing.

2009-03-03T17:07:00.006Z

Went to Wagamama in Cardiff City Centre with a bunch of friends on last Friday. We were there to celebrate birthday for Lip Sing.

Birthday boy with the cake.

and as usual,

We started with photo shooting session :)

From left: Gillian, Sandra, Wan Jing and me.

(we are the pharmacists-to-be)

From Left: Alice, Lip Sing, Gillian, Wan Jing, Lay Ming

Group photo 1.

Group photo 2.

Group photo 3.

and lastly,

60 Colum Road's girls.

See we only take pics of ourselves, forget about the food, not because of the food was too good but the other way round. The food was so damn bad. My cooking is alot better than theirs :p really. So if you are going there for a meal, i would suggest you to take a second thought of it. Maybe it is only problem with the one in Cardiff, as I had tried the one in Nottingham, and I remember it doesn't taste this bad. So try it on your own risk k :p

2009-03-03T12:17:00.002Z

yeahhhh ...

i am a happy lil' girl now.

#1 I've received the parcel posted by mom this morning.

#2 Daddy, Mommy, and both sisters are coming over to visit me and also to attend my graduation in this coming July.

i can't wait to see them now, am counting down the day till we meet. what i need to do now are work harder for my final year project and also to plan for our UK trip in July.

happy happy happy.

2009-03-02T13:23:00.002Z

Disappointing.

Was waiting patiently and excitingly for the parcel that mom posted to me since last Sunday, but guess what I've received today?

I've received an invoice asking me to pay for the custom charge before they deliver the parcel to me. WTF!!!

It says on the letter: Delivery of this parcel is subjected to payment of charges raised by HM Revenue & Customs. What does this mean? Why they wanna charge me? What is the reason for charging me?

The charge detail stated this:

V.A.T - GBP 15.04

Parcelforce Clearance Fee - GBP 13.50

Total - GBP28.54

I'm pretty sure mom paid more than enough for the postage, which cost her RM170+ for the 1.5kg parcel with PostLaju Malaysia. What stupid VAT are they charging me for? and also the handling fees.

Sh*t.

Gonna waste money calling them to clarify the charges. Sh*t!!!

2009-02-25T10:19:00.004Z

Shrove Tuesday 24-02-2009

It also known as Pancake Day, the day preceding the first day of Christian season of fasting and praying called Lent. This festival is widely associated with the eating of food such as Pancakes, because this is a way to use up rich foodstuffs such as eggs, milk and sugar, before the fasting season of the 40 days of Lent. Consumption of these were traditionally restricted during Lent. For more info, please google by yourself :p (Above info is taken from wikipedia).

Johann and Theresa kindly organised this party at 60 Colum Road (my house), thank you guys!

There was like 16 people all squeezed in the living room. Theresa prepared Lo Mai Fun (glutinous rice) and fish congee, and Johann was the one who prepare the pancakes.

We had ice-cream and fruits as the topping, it was so yummy ...

Landlord of the house.

I was really tired last night in the party, so ignore all the tiring look of mine, i had been staying in the lab from 10.30am to 7pm before. Told myself not to take any pics at night, but no, i can't stop smiling and posing when i see the camera, haha! OK well, this is my blog, so i think i should post up some happening event that happened in my life, and ignore the tiring look :p I had a great night with the bunch of housemates and friends.

2009-02-22T20:55:00.003Z

I hate the fact that tomorrow is Monday.

I don't want to go back to the lab.

I want to stay at home like what I am doing now for this two days.

I'm spending most of my time on my lovely bed :p

I hate working with pig's nipples.

I have had enough FUN with it ....

Why do we have 5 days of weekday and only 2 days of weekend?

Why can't we have the other way round?

JH said because weekdays is for earning money and weekends for spending money.

So we couldn't afford to only earn money for 2 days and then spend money for the rest of the week.

-_- Oh well, i have to accept this.

Thanks JH for your explanation :p

And also for WEW,

I want your life.

You have 7 days of weekend in a week.

I am very "bo kam guan".

Thanks for your companion every single night,

so sorry if i'm being too annoyed.

I love everybody around me,

they are just so nice to me.

they keep me strong.

Thanks everyone.

Muacksss.

2009-02-19T22:46:00.002Z

Due to the boredom in the lab, I took this pic of him.

Excuse me, because my iPhone doesn't have zoom function, hence this is the best shot of him i could get. And, i will try to capture from the front next time so that you guys can see his handsome look.

Yeah, this is Charles, my FYP supervisor.

2009-02-19T20:56:00.004Z

Updating on my 'V' day post:

with the girls at Ichiban restaurant.

Theresa showing her love towards me

*shyshy*

I definitely had a great night with you girls.

You girls rock my day!

muacksss

Good News.

Good News..

Good News ...

I've got my Autumn exams result last week, and to my surprise, I PASSED!!

~ I PASSED ALL EXAMS ~

This is really a MIRACLE!! Hey everyone, miracle do happens sometime, just need to believe and pray hard :p

As you know I was having this big big big huge huge huge problem during my exams period. I thought I gonna fail all my exams as I wasn't paying attention at all during revision time. I was crying most of the time and I think I cried more than I actually revised. I remember a night before one of the papers, at 11pm, I was on the phone with my friend for 2 hours, she spent 2 hours talking to me trying to make me feel better so that I could concentrate better for my exams. After hanging up the phone call, I spent another hour revising and went to bed straight, was so tired after all day crying :p

Even though the results weren't fantastic at all, but I don't care, I am more than happy that I can actually passed. Thanks God again for your blessing. Mom and dad were worried for me so much, I really don't know what to do to make them feel better at that moment, they went online every night just to spend time talking to me, to cheer me up. I could only smile to them in return, just don't want to make them worry even more.

After this, I've learnt one important thing, friends are all you have when you are away from home, and I'm glad I've such a lovely friends who support and be with me every single moment when I need them. Thank you guys for being here for me whenever I need. I'm sorry if I am bothering you too much with my own problem.

I'm getting better, seriously. Thanks for every text messages, MSN messages, FB messages, phone calls and everything from you guys. I really appreciate it so much, you guys have made my days brighter. I love you all. Muacksss ... ~

2009-02-16T00:17:00.004Z

I thought I'll have a blue valentine's day this year, but I'm fine, seriously, and I'm proud of myself too. Thanks to everyone that helped to cheer up my blue day, I am really glad I have you guys all around me to cheer me up. Frankly, my emotion was so unstable a week before, I've been crying every now and then especially at night when I turned off the light. Don't worry I stand up again after a week of self-torturing, I will move on lil' by lil'. I promise.

Thanks SF for spending your valentine's night with me listening to me and giving me advice, I really feel alot better after chatting to you. I'll take your words and move on with my own life. Don't know why when I am facing this problem, I feel like wanna talk to you so much, have been waiting for you to online for so long and finally I see you on MSN yesterday, so happy! Thanks again for your comfort advice. Love you lots.

Then while chatting with SF, my lovely housemate Theresa cooked me lunch, a simple but full of love and nutrient's lunch. Pasta with sweetcorn, mushroom and fish. We had a wonderful meal and watching HK drama at the same time. I'm glad to have your companion throughout the afternoon although you made lot of "noise" when watching drama :p I wouldn't know how much tears gonna wasted again if it weren't you spending time with me yesterday.

Then in the evening, lovely Eunice drove us to Tesco Extra to do groceries shopping, nothing much to buy but I just love to go Tesco/Asda for no reason :p Didn't buy much but get some baking ingredient as I had promised Gillian to bake Green Tea Chiffon Cake for her. After that we headed to Ichiban for Japanese food as dinner. 4 of us: gillian, theresa, eunice and me! We definitely had a wonderful girls night out with each other. Thank you again girls for your companion. I love you all lots.

*no photo yet as I haven't get them from Eunice, hopefully i will remember to upload those photo once I got them la*

Tonight, I baked Green Tea Chiffon Cake, glad that my first attempt in the UK had succeed. I tried twice before when I was home during my summer break, under my mom's supervision, and now I did it all by myself. Hooraayyy!!! Clap clap clap for myself. and and and, my housemates love it, awww ... that's the most happy moment to see them greedily eating the cake baked by ME! :p

Ignore the look of the cake, i know it is not presentable at all, but who cares? as long as it is delicious and yummy yummy!! :p

Want recipe? Email me. or leave me a comment.

Ok, need to sleep now, hate the fact that tomorrow is Monday again. Need to work in lab again for the whole week. Praying hard that I can get a good permeation result next week for my project. Good night!

最近的心情又掉入最低潮的时候，心里一直重复的哼着这首歌：

哦算了吧，就这样忘了吧，

该放就放，再想也没有用，

他也不会回来，

你总该为自己想想未来，

你总是心太软，心太软⋯⋯

任贤齐@心太软

曾经朋友都说我心太软，太容易相信别人，原谅别人，我都会以微笑来带过，觉得是一种美德，以它为容。不过现在却被这所谓的美德搞得一团糟。从今天开始，我要学会坚强，要学习如何变得比他更狠，一定要过得比他更幸福！

我还是会哭，冲凉时哭，睡觉前又哭，因为我是正常的人，我还有感情，我不是他，他没有人性，没有感情，所以可以说放弃就放弃，但我做不到，我还是会想起我们之间的一切，因为我很珍惜我们的过去，不过我开始学会控制我自己，我不会自暴自弃，我会勇敢的向前走，学习微笑，学习放手！

经过这件事之后，我成长了许多，也让我知道在这世界上还有很多很多爱我，关心我的人，我不应该让他们担心我，所以我一直跟自己说我要坚强，我一定会活得更开心！

今天你如何对我，我一定会让你以100倍的痛苦还给我！对不起，是你把我逼得如此！

I have been working with this HPLC machine nearly everyday in the lab since 2 weeks ago, and will still continue working with it till i finish my project in April i think. I hate it so much! I have got so much problems with it. After 2 weeks of "hard" work, I still couldn't work out what is the correct ratio of mobile phase for it. Arghhhhh I am really fed up! All my result couldn't be interpreted correctly due to this main problem. I got funny results every time I tried to run them through HPLC.

Aww ... i'm sorry, just ignore the above paragraph if you don't have any clue on what's going on, because I don't really know much about it too to be frank.

OK, throughout this 2 weeks working in the lab, I have make up a very serious decision, I am not not not going to do phD ever in my life, not even if they pay me 40k for doing phD (aduh, as if got ppl wanna pay me so high for phD). I am so stupid when comes to practical work. What I've learnt in theory throughout my MPharm life are all returned to the lecturers. I don't have any single knowledge in my brain right now.

A few incidences that happened in the lab:

Me: What is the difference between all these HPLC machines? (we have 3 HPLC in the lab)

Charles: Ahhh, where is all your knowledge on PH2108 gone?

(PH2108 - one of the modules in year 2 taught by him)

Me: (smiling) probably I've forgotten everything ... :p

Charles: (giving me instruction on what to do next) do this ... do that ...

Me: (blur face) oh okie (trying to act like understood him)

a few minutes later ...

Charles: do you understand what I was saying?

Me: emmmm .... not really ....

Charles: Urghhhh ...

Before leaving,

Charles: ... do this do that ... remember to keep the tissue samples in the fridge, we going to extract the drug from these tissues tomorrow.

Me: okie, no problem!

Upon going home (it was 7.30pm ok), shut down everything and gone straight home, totally forgot about the tissue samples, it was left unwrap and freely expose to the environment.

At 10.30pm, OMG, gillian help me, I am in a deep shit!!

Next morning ...

Me: charles, i am going to confess something to you.

Charles: OMG what have you done???

Me: explain and explain and still explain.

and he was quite fierce at that moment, but luckily he was alright afterwards.

aiksss ... there are too many careless mistakes done by me in the lab (Charles is so going to faint seeing me seeking for help from him everyday and he is so going to fail my project). Last night I nearly spoilt the super damn expensive HPLC. Charles spent about 2 hours to repair it this morning, but thanks God it is back to function again. But but but I'm having another problem with it again now!!! Arghhh .... this stupid machine here really drive me crazieee ~~~

I HATE HPLC !!!

2009-02-05T23:55:00.004Z

The world's most CANGGIH tele-communicating:

Yeah, there were cute, weren't they?

Brian was on call with LipSing, while Gillian was with Eunice, so four of them were tele-communicating. What a cool way of connecting people from difference houses together!

I salute you two!! :p

Snowy Cardiff - part two

2009-02-05T16:11:00.007Z

Here are the other photos i took in the park ....

Let's those pics do the speaking ...

Colum Road girls.

From left: Connie, Gillian, Theresa, Me.

We love the snow.

Happily running on the snow like a small kids.

Janet and myself.

Myself, Gillian and Alice.

Aww ... back at home, got to get ready for the LAB :(

Snowy Cardiff - part one

2009-02-04T15:48:00.002Z

Photo taken on the snowing night. It started to snow at around 7pm on the 2nd Feb (Monday). I didn't go out to play with the snow on that night itself, but i took a few photo from Theresa's room, it was freezing cold.

Along Colum Road ... the street where i'm currently living in ...

The final photo was taken from my room, the tree outside my window was covered with snow.

This is the second time that Cardiff is covered with snow throughout my life in Cardiff, in average it snows every two years! The last snow was in Feb 2007. I miss you so much Juliet Ho, we actually stayed up all night to wait for the snow back then, and I remember it only snowed at 4am, so we didn't sleep all night till 7am in the morning. How crazie we were!

This year, i couldn't afford to stay up all night to wait for the snow to thicken, because i need to come into lab the next morning for my research project. I woke up early in the morning, 7.15am, to get myself ready to play with the snow in Bute Park with friends... more photos coming up concerning the snow in Bute Park.

Gotta continue with my project now. Lab is just so boring! :p

2009-02-04T09:23:00.002Z

I am so pissed off ...

I came to lab early in the morning, to do my diffusion cell experiment, but it is already an hour later, i can't do anything yet till now, as i don't have one of the apparatus, arghhh!!! Don't know I have to wait till what time ... This experiment will need to run for 12 hours ahh! it's almost 10am now, i need to stay in the lab till at least 10pm tonight to complete the experiment as i need to collect the samples every few hours up to 12 hours. Sien sien sien sien sien!!!

2009-01-30T20:12:00.002Z

It's Friday night, i was suppose to get out of the house and enjoy the night, but i am tired now. I am like a dead pig now, couldn't move at all after spending all day in the lab. Mind you, it is really tiring to stay all day in the lab, from 10am to 6pm, with only an hour break in between. I love to play with all the lab instruments, but i started to hate it now. My stupidness and carelessness slow down the whole process, i kept repeating the same thing because of the careless mistake. What more to have a not-very-supportive-supervisor. OK at least it is Friday now, i have the weekend off, will fully enjoy the weekend, i need to sleep more, i am tired, really tired.

That's basically how i spent my CNY in Cardiff *sob sob*

Pre-CNY celebration

2009-01-28T22:57:00.003Z

24-01-2009 Chinese Christian Church in Cardiff organized a pre-CNY celebration in the church, and I was invited by my fellow friends to attend. We had steambot.

Our table. Nothing beat steambot especially in this cold weather. It is so warmth to have fellow Chinese friends around to celebrate CNY in this western country.

This is Brian Wee, our all-time-cameraman, he is posing with his favourite tau fu pok! and yes, he is another Kelantanese in Cardiff, we came from the same school!!!

This is Janet Kan, from Tawau, and it was her birthday, she is the all-time-poser!

Gillian aka kitty cat and me ~ Thanks for celebrating the lonely CNY with me!

60 Colum Road girls, Gillian, myself and Eunice. Theresa wasn't there, too bad!

us again ...

us again ... but this time with the lion 舞獅.

Eunice, myself, Gillian, Janet.

Aww Theresa, i haven't got any pic taken together with you, i'm so sorry! Will definitely take lot of photo with you in our next outing ok!

Anyway, i had a great time celebrating CNY in Cardiff. This is the forth year i am away from home during CNY. I will definitely go home next year, I can't wait to go home now! We went to Bristol on the 26th Jan (Monday) to have our CNY dinner. The food was seriously good! Will upload more photo later.

I hereby wish everyone had a great CNY off and may the year of Ox brings you lot of happiness, healthiness and wealthiness. All the best for the year ahead! My new year is ruined by the relationship problem, so my CNY resolutions are to be happy, forget the past and stay tough and strong always. Bless me!

2009-01-21T18:24:00.002Z

Yeah it is my final paper tomorrow. Will fully enjoy myself after tomorrow's OSCE. But but but, i am seriously out of mood to revise. Had been doing all the nonsense right after Monday's exam, sleep, watch movie, out with friends, cinema etc etc. Gosh, i left a few hours time to prepare only, it's 6.30pm now and exam at 12pm tomorrow!

Well, will definitely force myself into revision mode after this post :p

I went to watch Twilight in the cinema yesterday. The story was OK, but i hate the ending, where the bad vampire came out, and the word THE END shows. It means i need to wait for a few months or even years to wait for second part of the story. Arghhh!

We went out again with friends to had a farewell lunch this afternoon at Happy Gathering Chinese Restaurant, had dim sum, yeahh!! Waa i was bloated, guess i can skip my dinner now as i am still feeling full. Then i went to cinema again with gillian, we watched Bride Wars. Great movie. Highly recommended. Waaa i really need to catch up with movies in cinema, been missing out quite a few of great movie lately due to exams!

More activities coming up tomorrow after exam, yeah can't wait to enjoy ~ But sad thing is, i don't have any day off for CNY! I need to start my final year project on the 26th Jan, which is the first day of CNY, sad sad sad ~ i'm looking forward to CNY 2010, haha, i finally can go home to celebrate CNY after 4 years of being away from home. Next year CNY falls on 14th Feb 2010, yeah!

All the best to my fellow MPharm 4 coursemates, and let's enjoy to the max after tomorrow!

man are hard to please

2009-01-14T16:31:00.004Z

If you treat him nicely, he says you are IN LOVE with him;

If you don't, he says you are PROUD.

If you dress nicely, he says you are trying to LURE him;

If you don't. he says you are from KAMPUNG.

If you argue with him, he says you are STUBBORN;

If you keep quiet, he says you have no BRAIN.

If you are smarter than him, he'll lose FACE;

If he is smarter than you, he is GREAT.

If you don't love him, he tries to POSSESS you;

If you love him, he will try to LEAVE you.

If you don't have sex with him, he says you don't LOVE him;

pre-exam's feeling

2009-01-12T17:02:00.004Z

for the very first time in my life, this is the most relaxing exams i'm going to sit for. not really relaxing, but i just have nothing much to revise, it's still stressful even though i have nothing much to revise, stress because i feel so guilty for not revising, but the fact is i have nothing to revise. Oh maybe i have, but just LAZY!

I'm having my first paper tomorrow at 9am, but i'm still here blogging. was on skype with my two lovely sister, then on you-tube, then on the phone with darling, then again back to facebook, and now blogging ... what a relaxing pre-exam period i have.

for all my juniors, i'm so sorry for you, esp Sandra, because you have 2 papers to sit for this week, and they are not easy at all. all the best to you. altho i'm having two exams as well this week, but .... aiksss ... you will understand my feeling when you come to final year! :p

for all the previous exams i had in my life, the day before any exams is the most critical time, i got so stressed up, burrying myself either in library or in my room just to finish memorising all the notes, and got even stress and panic when time passed, as i know i've no much time left yet with the never-finish notes i have ... waa ... thinking back to my third year exams, that was really horrible. but again i salute myself for passing it!

ok i really need to concentrate now! all the best to everyone who are sitting for exams. hope you guys sleep well tonight and we will fight for tomorrow's and upcoming exams together. take care and good luck!

2009-01-07T16:33:00.002Z

不管再轰烈的感情，也有它脆弱的时候！
我的心情真的很起伏不定，
请老天爷不要再耍我了，
只希望这次的考试能顺利过关！

明天一定會更好！

加油了。

2009-01-05T15:09:00.003Z

Saw this in BBC news few minutes ago.

First snow of the year has fallen across England, how about Cardiff?

It is so freezing cold in Cardiff since Christmas last year, and the temperature sat below zero all this while, but where is the snow?

This year is the coldest winter I had ever experienced in Cardiff. Minimum temperature goes down to negative five degree celsius. Still hoping to see the snow for the last time in Cardiff.

*finger-crossed*

2009-01-02T22:39:00.002Z

Was half way reading my BNF, our so-called pharmacy bible, darling and Juliet who being evil called it my book of feng-shui.

(It is actually a book that provides an up-to-date information on medicines to all the health care professionals in the UK.)

Recalled this:

difference between a doctor and a pharmacist.

Doctor: (holding a bottle of medicine) nah, take this to ease your symptoms.

Patient: how do i take it?

Doctor: open your mouth and swallow it.

Future Pharmacist: ... take over the bottle and read out loud the instructions written on the bottle ...

Patient: thank you.

I am proud of myself :p

2008-12-31T22:20:00.003Z

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！

2008-12-23T22:58:00.004Z

Janet Kan (left) & myself (right)

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 ~

2008-12-12T00:21:00.003Z

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~

2008-12-05T23:38:00.003Z

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 ~

Happy November ~

2008-11-03T00:09:00.003Z

当你的屋主发e-mail给你，写着：

你相信吗？

十一月份了！

有个美好的November!

(翻译过的, just in case 他有看我的部落格）

这是什么意思？

是时候缴房租吗？

我很生气，如果真的是要讨房租的话，为什么不能直接向我们讨，而要一直强调十一月！他不止是 send e-mail, 刚才吃饭时跟他讲话不到十分钟，已经提“十一月”两次了！桌子上还放了一张纸条写着 Happy November!

我是大学生，日期对大学生来说是很重要的，因为大学生时时刻刻都要记住 assignment's due date，况且我有一大堆 assignments 要赶在十一月头交，我会不懂现在已是十一月吗？不用一直提醒我的！

真的不懂为什么不能直接跟我们要房租！

他讲话有时真的很 sarcastic 很讨人厌！啊⋯⋯气死我了！

Happy Halloween

2008-10-31T12:03:00.003Z

H a P P y H a L L o w E E n 2 0 0 8

It's halloween day today, any party for you everyone?

I will just stay at home tonight, no where to go, no party for me ... :(

I'll be out for dinner with lil' Gill, and then back to my super cold room to do reading! Arghhhh ... my companion for tonight will be JOURNALSSS!! It won't be a fun weekend for me anymore, as I need to work really hard, too many things to do and prepare for next week.

* ~ Weekend = WeekDAY for me ~ *

My fellow friends in KL are having halloween party tonight, I wish I could be there to join the fun, but I am far far away from them now. Give me another 2 years, and I will be back to enjoy all the fun with you guys EVERYDAY!! I will be back at home for good in year 2011? *finger cross*

Oh ya one more important thing, while everyone is shouting for the WARM/HOT/SUPER HOT/EXTREMELY HOT weather in Malaysia or Singapore, I am the one shouting and screaming for the SUPER DUPER FREEZING weather in Cardiff ~ I know you guys will ask me to enjoy it, but the cold is unbearable, and I am seriously missing the weather back in Malaysia. This is the coldest autumn I've ever experienced!

If you do have a party tonight, have fun!

Free half Nando's chicken

2008-10-23T22:16:00.005+01:00

Thanks to Gillian who share the website which provide a voucher of free half Nando's chicken. So there we are enjoying the Nando's chicken, absolutely free!!!

Nando's is one of my favourite restaurant in Cardiff, but I haven't had it for quite some time. The last time I had it was in Nottingham with darling, and that was months ago, back in June 2008.

We were there on Tuesday night, 4 of us; Eunice, Gillian, Theresa and myself ~

Theresa (left) and myself.

Gillian (left) and Eunice (right).

I really had spent a great time with you girls, and it is really worth it to have half chicken for FREE! Let's forget about all the worries and enjoy our final year as a student. We can make it till the end ~

2008-10-08T19:06:00.003+01:00

Life as a student in final year isn't easy at all, what's more doing master year!

"you are doing master year now, so we are not going to spoon fed you anymore, all we will do is student-directed-learning, which mean you do your work and we watch!"

This word was thrown to us on the very 1st day of lecture *pengsan* after that followed with all the presentations and courseworks. I was still having in my holiday mood and could not concentrate in the lecture at all. All i knew is we had been loaded with 2 group presentation and 1 individual presentation on the very first week of lecture, let's alone the test and coursework.

Been in a group preparing for a presentation isn't a bad idea, at least you can spread out the workload and also show some team-spirits, but the problem is when you are working with a bunch of "ang mo", plus my english isn't good at all, also by having limited knowledge and very poor communication skills, i feel like i am a dummy in the group. I am the most stupid-est in the group!

I just hate being here all alone doing my final year. All my friends had gone home or will be going home soon, i don't feel like staying here anymore, i just want to go home as well. I know i shouldn't behave like a child but sometimes i just broke-down and i don't know where shall i start again. The feeling is just indescribable.

I pray for 明天會更好！

2008-10-05T20:52:00.002+01:00

I'm back. Back in Cardiff since a week ago.

Time passes so fast, my 5 weeks holiday had gone, and I'm back to my uni life now.

First week of lectures/workshops had gone too, ten more weeks to go for this semester, I am counting down the day, although I know it will be a hectic life after this but I just can't wait till everything is over.

Had accepted Boots Pre-reg offer last week. Hey everyone, I'll be in Didcot, Oxfordshire next year July doing my pre-registration year, so if anyone happens to be in somewhere around oxfordshire, please drop by to pay me a visit k!

I had such a great fun at home, went to singapore for the first week, second week was in Bali and spent the third week in KL with darling, then forth and fifth week stayed at home relaxing. More photo are coming up but this will highly depends on my mood :p

Will update again soon on my final year's life ... *stay tune*

2008-08-15T22:15:00.002+01:00

I'm back in Cardiff for the weekend, finally I got internet to get online after weeksss! I've finished the placement with Boots last friday, on the 8th of Aug, and I started hospital placement on the 11th of Aug. It was a rushing and tiring weekend for me last week, as I came back from Oxford on Saturday, carrying all the stuffs with me all the way from Oxford to Cardiff, then on Sunday I was busy moving all my stuffs from previous house to the new house where I will be staying for my final year, and at 6pm we rushed to train station to catch the train to Llanelli, the place where I am currently doing my hospital placement.

On the very last day of my placement with Boots, one of my colleagues, a senior dispenser, brought out a bouquet of flower and a gift bag for me, telling me that, "We did some collection among the staffs and we bought you flower and chocolates as a gift...." my tears were almost dropped out, I was really touched when I see the bouquet of flower, to be honest this is the first bouquet of flower I ever received from friends. Darling was teasing me by saying that I had no any feeling when he gave me roses but I can easily get touched by someone else flowers! But i was in a real shock when I see the gifts from them, and they gave me a box of chocolate and 2 box of cosmetic gift sets. And also, I will never forget the warm tight hugs from my tutor before I left the store, and our tears almost drop at the moment but we managed to control it!

In the hospital, I admit I'd learnt quite alot of clinical stuffs that I will never remember from studies, but most of the time I am so bored, we are not allow to do any work in the hospital other than OBSERVING!! I love ward rounding, the most enjoyable moment in the hospital, can get a chance to look at all difference type of patients, get to learn all the clinical knowledge, get to watch all difference field of professionals walking around (too bad most of the doctors are old men, haven't seen a good looking young handsome men yet!) but it could be quite sad seeing patients in pain or suffering from a disease. I've learnt to appreciate with all I have now and I know how lucky I am now after seeing and comparing myself with those patients.

In this whole week, I spent most of my morning session doing ward rounding, been to different wards every morning, observed on how pharmacy technician take patient's drug history, what pharmacist do in ward, how to help to improve patient's quality of life, check on the drug chart to find is there any interaction between drugs and also suggest any further recommendation on drugs. I really enjoy them. But in the afternoon after lunch break, it is really killing me, as I will have nothing to do then. I have been scheduled to stay in the dispensary every afternoon but the hospital is so quiet that we hardly get busy in the dispensary, so I spent most of my afternoon in the reading room online searching informations for everything I can think of.

Still got one more week to go, I can't wait till I finish the placement and go back home. I want to go home now! Gillian is on her way home now, 2 more hours to go and she will be touched down in Singapore Changi Airport. I wish I could go home together with her!! Anyway I am counting down the day to 24th Aug where I will be flying home! :p

I'm getting really crazy now!! Life without internet is really torturing!! How can I get online now? Wonder why oxford doesn't have a free wifi online place or cafe or anything, anywhere that I can get online for free! I'm now in Costa, it says on the door that they provide free wifi to get online, but WTF I can't even connect to their server.! Waste my energy to carry my laptop all the way here and still I can't get online!! Now i really hate Oxford!!!! I hate the life without internet! Arghhhhh how can I survive for another few weeks??? I am getting really crazy and mad now!!!

Waa, it has almost been a month that I haven't update my blog. Don't know have I mentioned about this before, I am currently doing my 8 weeks summer placement with Boots in Oxford. This week is the second week, and I am almost dead~ It is a really tiring job! I'm still thinking whether Pharmacist job would be suitable for me in the future.

40 hours per week, which mean it is 8 hours a day, from 9am to 6pm, and have an hour lunch break in between. I wonder why a big company pharmacy doesn't have a single chair in store for us to sit down, i have to stand all day long everyday!!! Arghhh ... and my leg is so so so pain everyday I'm off from work.!

After all, this would be a very best time to experience how's a pharmacist's life in real world. It is a tough job, tougher than what I've ever thought of. Sometimes I really wonder can I handle this tough job? How if I made mistake? A pharmacist is not allow to make mistake, a minor mistake that a pharmacist done could have kill someone. I am scared!

I've learnt alot in this one and a half week, although it's tiring but I do enjoy myself sometimes, especially when I can do recommendation and counseling patients by myself. I'd gave a customer advice on Migraleve tablets (treat migraine), and told her everything about the tablet, she seems really happy with my advice and non-stop thanks me for advising her on the tablets. I feel so happy after that!!

There's too much things that happened in store that I wish I could note down every single happy exciting moment in store, all mainly about someone praised me after I served them well, but I am so tired everyday after work, will try to do that when I'm in the mood ya. Stay tune! Hope everyone who is doing placement, like me, is enjoying themselves too.!

Be right back.

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.!

2008-05-13T18:21:00.001+01:00

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!!!

COUNTDOWN TO MPHARM 3 FINALS = A WEEK!!!

~ GooD LucK everyone ~

2008-05-03T15:57:00.007+01:00

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!!!)

2008-04-10T18:02:00.002+01:00

am so stress now!

exams is coming, and i have exactly a month from now to finish all my revision and get ready for the exams. but a month is simply and definitely not enough for me to finish all the bloody handouts and lecture notes.

i have 5 modules to sit for in this coming final exam. i am so scare of failing one out of those five. i am scare of re-sit. i am more scare on failing the year which mean i have to take a gap year while waiting for re-sit in next year!!!

my brain is not good in memorizing, i've forgotten most of the things that i memorized in the past few weeks. when i look into past year papers, i am just so blank. i am so damn stressed! that's just too much to study and to memorize for this upcoming exams. i need help!!!

i've tried to concentrate when revising, but somehow my brain just doesn't listen to me, lot of things come in and out of my brain when i am trying to concentrate. and goshhhh i eat so much while studying, i feel hungry most of the time, or even if i don't, i just can't stop myself from eating rubbish/junk food. and i don't know why, whenever i am studying, suddenly i have so much shit and urine inside me, i need to go to toilet (for pee and poo) and kitchen (for food) so often, and this is a way of distraction to me!

aikssss no matter how, i need to get myself passed this year, even if i have to re-sit, i will make sure i pass during the re-sit. i can't wait to finish my master course d, i want to get it done as soon as possible. i can't wait to step into working life and work as a pharmacist now, like what limeelaine is doing now.

**limeelaine, stop telling me your experience in the hospital and also how easy your life is without books, i am so fucked up with my life here!!! :p come help me with my revision please!

2008-04-09T00:36:00.002+01:00

It was 6th April, mid spring, but weird thing happened;

It was SNOWING last Sunday, in Nottingham as well as Cardiff.

What had happened to the world?

During my first year in Cardiff, it snowed in early January.

During my second year in Cardiff, it snowed in mid February.

Well, this year it snowed on the 6th of April. WEIRD!!!

2008-04-03T15:44:00.008+01:00

Watched this film 27 DRESSES with darling last night. It is indeed a good film, highly recommended to all of you ~

The student price over here for a single movie is 50pence more expensive than that in Cardiff, so it costs GBP 5 per movie in Nottingham whereas in Cardiff it costs only GBP4.50.

Darling used to subscibe unlimited pass for unlimited movies so he didn't care of the price, but now he was complaining GBP5 for a movie is way too expensive, and because of me, he reluctantly agreed to watch one movie together with me. I miss those moment where we went to cinema everyweek for moviesss together, and the feeling came back to me last night :p

Yesterday was darling's birthday. I did not prepare any surprise for him, just bought him a cake (well he paid for the cake himself) without candles I sang him a birthday song while he was half asleep and obviously he didn't listen to me at all, then keep the cake and went to bed. What a sad birthday!

After his work at 6pm, we went to TGIF for dinner. Strange enough, TGIF in Nottingham is so quiet compared to the one in Cardiff, what more it is situated in city centre! Totally unsatisfied with the environment, no fun at all :-( but of course i enjoyed the dinner with him!

Okies, time to go back to studies. It's the 4th day in Nottingham, still haven't got the chance to explore the city, as darling is busy with his work, so I stay in the hotel waiting for him to off work everyday while doing my revision for the upcoming bloody exams.!

and YEAHHH tonight I am going to Nando's for dinner ...

2008-03-31T15:47:00.002+01:00

A really quick update of myself ...

I am currently having fun in Nottingham. Reached here last night, and the feeling of meeting my darling at the first sight after half a year is cool. I don't know why but I feel so nervous to meet him few mins before I reach Nottingham. I feel so warmth to get back into him after so so so damn long.

Now he is working and I am being left over in the hotel all by myself. Suppose to study now before he comes back from work but just couldn't stop myself from online-ing. I brought along with me stack of my lecture notes and will try to finish at least half of them during my stay in Nottingham. Is that possible? :p

and I went to London for 3 days with Gillian last weekend. Been eating so many delicious food in London and visit to many places as well. Will try to post up photo when I'm free, but don't think there will be many photo uploaded because all my pics look so fat and round :p Truely have a great time in London with you, Gillian. Let's plan for our summer holiaday soon.!

K, need to stop here and continue with my studies now. Will update again soon!

2008-03-16T18:55:00.006Z

Been so busy these days, here's a quick update of what's going on for the weeks.

I've got a new phone for myself, again ... This time it is Nokia N82. I'm a true Nokia fans. Was wondering which one to choose from, SE W960i or Nokia N82, and finally my decision is made based on the brand, not the functions. I don't really have a close look on both the phone at all, I just see them online, all from the pictures available online, I have no idea how big the phone is then, I have only a rough idea about this phone, and frankly I have never heard of NOKIA N82 previously. I only heard from my sis about this phone an hour before I decided to choose this phone, and have been reassured from darling that it's a good phone, so there was how I got this phone.

and most importantly I got this phone for FREE, by upgrading my previous contract. This is the best part of staying in the UK, where you can get a free phone every year for FREE, provided you know how to negotiate with the service provider.

I drank this in the pub the other day, it is an ALCOHOL FREE's beer. Have you ever heard of this? The taste is like shit. I warn you better not to try any ALCOHOL-FREE alcoholic drink. It tasted like plain water, as it has no alcohol content at all, but it still has the artificial alcoholic taste, bla bla bla, i also don't know how to explain. Just don't try it, or else you will regret.

I had that because I wanted a non-alcoholic drink in the pub, and I assumed he would have ordered Coke or J2O for me, but who knows he actually got this ALCOHOL FREE beer for me, OMG! I drank only a few sips and wasted the rest of them.

I am so lucky to have friends who are working in a restaurant as a CHEF. So during their off day, they cooked and invited me to their house for dinner. I was so damn happy to see such a delicious food prepared, sweet and sour fish, broccoli, curry chicken (ayam masak merah?) and also bak kut teh soup. I would not have the chance to taste these in the UK if I weren't invited to their house that night. I was so excited that night and kept on eating only although I kept complaining that I am full. Haha.!

In return, they asked me to bake either cheese cake or tiramisu for them the next time I visit. Guess I won't visit them so soon lorr, as I need to figure out how to bake cheese cake. haha. Anyone, any idea?

Countdown to meet my darling --> 13 days from today!

Nope, i am not going back home.

But..... he is coming to WORK next week, 24th March. and I am visiting him on the 30th March as I've promised to go to London with my housemates over that weekend. Am looking forward to 30th March to see him in NOTTINGHAM!!! Oh ya, he will be staying in the UK for 3 months, but too bad, too bad, too bad, so bad timing, as I am having my exams so soon, I can't visit him so often, maybe just once, on the 30th for a week, and then no more visit to nottingham until I've finished my exams. Arghhhhh ...!!!

2008-02-14T21:19:00.007Z

You wrote this on the beach last year before i left to Malaysia.
You said you gotta miss me.
but you don't know I miss you more than everything.

I love you tooo.

Love you being there for me all the time;
when i need support from you,
when i am sad and down,
when i am not in a good mood,
when i am stressed up due to the hectic life,
when i am lonely and scared,
when i miss you.

Love you being so patient to me all the time;
when i shouted at you for no reason,
when i threw everything on you blaming you it's your fault,
when i screw up in the exams,
when i mad at you several times in a month,
when i merajuk asking for more love from you.

Love you being so caring all the time;
especially during my birthday and our anniversary,
you always got a surprise for me on my birthday and anniversary,
you never forget to make me happy on these days,
you never forget to get me a pressie on these days,
even when you are so far away now,
you still send me love and pressies on time.
I'm sorry that i didn't prepare any pressie for you,
did i make you unhappy?
i promise i'll get you a replacement when we meet ok :p

喜欢看你认真的样子，
喜欢看你被我捉弄的样子，
喜欢开你的玩笑，在看看你傻傻的样子，
喜欢和你撒娇，看你不知所错的样子，
喜欢和你斗嘴，说着DiGi的坏处，逗你生气，
喜欢在讲电话的时候，说得天花乱醉，不让你有机会讲，
喜欢骂你开车太快，害我没时间跟你说话，你就到office了。

喜欢被你疼，
喜欢被你爱，
喜欢被你宠。

不喜欢你喝酒后臭臭的味道，
但是现在偶尔还是会很怀念哪个味道！
不喜欢你大声地跟我说话，却喜欢大大声跟你说话，
弄你生气，然后在逗你笑。
不喜欢你很夜回家，却喜欢和你迟迟出门，半夜才回家。

喜欢和你french kiss，
觉得很爽，很温暖，很幸福。

喜欢和你hug hug hug,
那种暖真的很温暖，暖入心里。

喜欢和你手拉手，
被你疼爱还有保护的时候，
更喜欢突然间松开你的手，
然后用力的往前跑，
再看看你在后面傻傻追的样子。

Although you are so far away from me, in term of distance, but I never feel that we are separated, we are bound together so we can easily overcome this. You are always in my heart, and so do I. Distance made us stronger and also made our relationship stronger. I'll cherish all the time and money you spent to call me. I am learning to be a perfect GF for you.

只想跟你说，
不论我在哪里，你去到哪里，
我都会永远在你心里，
祝你情人节快乐！
我爱你！

I have got to know a girl, which i'm getting to dislike or hate her recently.

her BF was so ill the other day, and she was kind enough to visit him in the afternoon, but strange enough, she did not stay till dinner time, she left at 5.45pm which is almost dinner time. she did not bother to cook him a meal before she left (he was severely ill). in the end, his housemates need to cook him a meal for his dinner.

on the other hand, he went to her house immediately when he got to know that she isn't feeling well, cooked for her, stayed at her house to look after her all day long even though he was busy with his own studies and final year project and exams.

she is working while he is studying.

she had a week off just before his exams. she wants to go for shopping while he needs to concentrate in his coming exams. she wasn't being considerate at all, well maybe she had, just a tiny little bit, as she didn't ask him to accompany her for shopping. but she asked him to send and pick her up from town whenever she goes shopping, and she went shopping everyday during the one-week off.

ok fair enough that she needs to park her car in his house to save the parking fees in town. but the thing is the distance from his house to town is only 15 mins walk away. she could had walked to town by herself rather than asking him to send her by car. she should know how important it is to concentrate while revising for exams. the worst thing was she treated him as a driver, asked him to drive her here and there (5 times a day), how can he concentrate when he need to revise and then stop to be a driver and then continue to revise again.

he is a person where he will keep everything to himself, even when he is angry or not happy with someone or something.

last few days, he was sick (he had caught a cold), and she did not bother to visit him at all. on the first day of CNY, they both went to a CNY celebration organised by a chinese church student fellowship. apon leaving, she drove home without sending him home first (they both left at the same time), he was having blocked nose (couldn't breath like normal) but still had to walk in the super cold night to get home.

and today, guess he had just recovered from his cold, and she fell sick, according to him, she got a severe headache, and he rushed to her house immediately early in the morning, just to look after her and cook for her. and he is staying overnight at her house to make sure that she is OK for the whole night.

WTF!! she didn't even come to see him when he was sick just 3 days ago, and now she is sick, she wants him to go over to accompany her. she did not bother to cook him a meal when he was severely sick and now he had to cook for her when she is sick. she treated him like a driver when he was suppose to concentrate and prepare for his exams.

i know i shouldn't be so ke-po (busybody) against people's relationship but i really cannot stand anymore, how can she treat him like this when he treated her so nice. even though i didn't cook but it was darling who cook most of the time last year but when he was sick or not feeling well or being busy, i will take the responsibility to cook. please la, at least has some consideration for your BF!

2008-02-02T19:03:00.000Z

am happy now !!! excited !! screaming !

received a letter before i went out for lectures yesterday morning, it was about ....

ehemmmm, let's see what i've got !!!

yes, and yes, and yes again (see, i am abit 'sok' liao), it was a letter from Prince Philip Hospital saying that;

"Thank you for your interest in a student placement during the summer 2008 vacation. We are pleased to offer you 2 weeks employment starting on ... bla bla bla ......"

am so damn happy to see this. at least no interview required and most importantly, it is a PAID summer placement, which mean i will get paid for attending this placement. la la la la la ...

but they gave me a period of time that i will not be free (i have to do community placement with Boots for 8 weeks starting from 16th June), so i need to write to them to discuss and change to a suitable date.

i still not sure to accept or reject this offer yet, because it is just 2 weeks, not sure how much can i learn in this 2 weeks. the good thing is i can get to go home after both my placements (if i accept this offer). if i were to get a 4 weeks hospital placement then i don't think i'll have time to go home during summer! so how? what should i do now? accept or reject?

2008-01-28T21:54:00.000Z

Guess you won't believe this, cause i don't even believe this myself. I've actually gained 5kg in less than half a year. Why? WHY? HOW? HOW COME ??? That explain why I did not upload any photo of myself anywhere online. Jacky said my face is so round now, and Gillian said my arm is growing sideway !!! Arghhhh Can't imagine this!!!

JC said double chin is a good indication that i'll have lots and lots of money and properties (the bigger your double chin, the richer you are!) Believe it anot? So she asked me not to worry about my super big double chin and do nothing towards it. I certainly not agree with her but this is the only thing make me feel better with the double chin, haha!

Was telling Juliet that i'm not actually gaining weight but it is Jane Norman's problem, where they have this smaller cutting on their clothes (I had to buy size 8 instead of 6 now), but now i realise how FAT am i now, and this has nothing to do with the cutting. Stop telling me to shut up and saying that I am not fat at all, come and see me and you know how fat i am now, I knew myself getting a little too fat now. How how how?

Hate people who always ask me to eat more (when we can't finish our food) cause I am the only one who has the ability to eat (reason they gave because I am skinny so I should eat more). Hate those who said "oh only you can wear this type of shirt (with the horizontal line design) because you are skinny, it only looks good on you but not us!" Hate that hate that and totally disagree with them. It sounded like an insult to me, at least for now.

I've no idea how come I grown so big now, must be due to too much dessert uptake in the last few months, oh ya, credits to Gillian who fed us with all the dessert (haha, joking only ya girl, we enjoyed the dessert but then look at our size now! can't stop blaming you :p) I still eat the same amount of food every day compared to last year, indeed i eat even more in my 1st year, and i slept right after my meal for hours in the afternoon, but how come only this year that i've grown so fat? (symptom of ageing? oh no ...)

Aihhhh, seriously need to on diet from now! Exercise! yet i'm abit lazy, haha! Need more motivation!!! Anyway, I'm joining Jacky for break dancing tomorrow, haha, see how long can this last for.! Cheers!

See my egg tart? I'm craving for this... Awww it is so tasty and I love it so much!! It's Portuguese Egg Tart, and of course it is from it's origin country, Portugal!!! Had this in Lisbon, Portugal.

This restaurant (it's more to a coffee shop) is highly recommended, they serve delicious egg tart (crispy at the outside and soft at the inside) and most importantly the servers there were so friendly even though they don't speak English. The name of this coffee shop is Pasteis de Belem.

I wanted to bake some for myself but then I think I better not, haha! I am not a pro-baker yet and I don't want to waste money and time :p I am still waiting for someone to bake some for me. (I am waiting for you, Gillian)

I have a great weekend this week, totally book-free weekend. I'll be starting my uni life again tomorrow, holiday has came to the end, time to go back to the hectic life and this semester will be even more hectic!!! My exam last week was OK (OK meant I wrote something on the answer booklet but hopefully *praying hard* that it is the answer for the question otherwise it is NOT OK!) I went to Prince Philip Hospital in Llanelli (somewhere in West Wales) for a two and a half days hospital placement, and I really love it. I think I will take a serious consideration to work in a hospital setting after I graduate. The only thing that bother me now is the salary!!!

Anyway, good luck to everyone who is going back to Uni tomorrow!!!

how do you feel ...

when ...

after a long day of work, at night, where you hardly got any energy to continue with your work, then someone knock on your door, with a warm smile, handing you this ...

a cup of hot chocolate.

and mind you, it is freezing in my room, this hot chocolate really warmth my heart.

exactly! she did this to me few mins ago, my lovely housemate, Gillian.

i feel so touched and it immediately freshen up my mind.

thank you so much my dearie. i love you.

Good Luck to both of us in our coming exams!

New year is coming, so what's plan you guys have for new year eve countdown? I don't have any plan for this year. Around Cardiff City Hall will be a fun fair, went there last year with my 146 Miskin Street housemates, quite happening actually, but it will be exactly the same this year, so shall i go again? nahh, don't think so!

I had a great Christmas celebration this year. Thanks to Amy who hosted a party at her house, get to enjoy how Christian celebrate Christmas. Before this I never really celebrate Christmas before, i treat Christmas as one of the public holidays, enjoy and relax at home and that's it.

My dad's birthday is a day after Christmas, which is on Boxing day. Since young, Christmas is just like celebrating my dad's birthday. We get excited because my parents' shop has a day off on Boxing day so it's more like a family gathering day for us to celebrate daddy's birthday.

Gillian and myself with pressents at Amy's house (^_^)

But this year it is totally difference, I get to taste my first turkey in my life. Yea, that's is my first time ever to test roast turkey, maybe i have had it before in restaurant, but it was part of the turkey and most importantly it is not Christmas (don't know why, my concept is roast turkey can only be eaten during Christmas, am I wrong?) - no photo for the turkey i ate, because i am not very close to the host, so i not dare to take too many photo in her house, basically i just know a few people she invited, so abit shy -

Surprisingly, i received a few Christmas gifts from friends this year. I am really happy. To be honest, this is my first time too to receive a Christmas gift. On Christmas eve, we celebrated, well as usual, eat Eat EAT, in JC's house. Just four of us (JC, Kun Seng, Gillian and me) but we did enjoy ourself very well, stuffed ourself so full with food, and then continue with chit-chatting and movies.

~ four of us ~
*/* see my small eyes? it was 2am in the morning, so that's why! */*
thanks JC for the invitation!

Pressie that I received from my lovely friends: -

From JC. The Sanctuary Spa @ body wash, body scrub, body lotion

(at night, before Christmas eve dinner)
JC: nah layming, this is for you ...
LM: huh? for me? thanks alot! but so paise, i didn't prepare any present
JC: no no don't worry, just keep it in your bag
(i was so touched! and this is my first present ever during Christmas)

Then the nx morning, while still blur blur (just woke up) going to take shower, saw another present with a lovely hand made card outside my room door.

From Gillian. a top from Atmosphere. again, i can feel the warm in my heart! Thanks dearie, love you so much.

At night, during Christmas party at Amy's house, we had a gift exchange session, I got this: -

me to you 2008 calender my all time favorite bear!

Then yesterday (29th Dec), received this from my boss: -

in the bag, contains Ferrero Rocher chocolate, Classic Pooh collection of honey bath and body treats giftset, a christmas card, and also a TEN POUNDS NOTE! woww ..!

Here's the group photo taken during the party on the 25th Dec 2007;

人家说，今年的圣诞节会下雪，我好期待，希望是真的。

但是，刚刚看了BBC News' Weather Forecast;

Heavy rain; Max day temp. 10 Celsius; Min night temp. 4 Celsius; Wind 17mph

唉，看来今年的圣诞是要在雨中度过了！

什么白色圣诞想也不用想了……

＊扫兴＊

据BBC Forecast, 26th Dec是晴天，呵呵, Boxing day叻，shop到爆！

I'm back from Portugal, but I'm not feeling well, both physically and emotionally.

I'm having blocked nose (running nose) and sore throat, my voice is hoarse.

I'm missing him so much now, esp in this seasonal period.

Photo will be up soon when I have the mood to write about my Portugal trip.

Stay tune, and at the same time;

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!!

It has been such a long time that i didn't update my post here ...

have a great news to announce here, my chocolate cake had done perfectly last week, it was so so so great. i was about to give up (mind you i have thrown away 5 cakes because of failure) but then Gillian (my housemate aka coursemate) gave me lot of courage to give another try, and finally i have succeed. i even bake one for Michelle, as her birthday cake, and she said it is heavenly, i am so happy ...

i am now trying cookies, as what Ade said, christmas is coming so i should try cookies, and now i am trying, got a recipe from internet, about peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies, i tried it last night, but i couldn't get chocolate chips, so i baked peanut butter cookies. it was good as well, but the size and shape is not even, because i don't have a proper utensil for baking cookies.

i told my friends about my new found hobby, and they all laugh at me, Jacky even said at least it is better than last year (last year hobby was sleeping), arghhhhh ...!!!

ok enough for baking.

am happy also because i passed my pharmaceutical calculation test, which passing mark is 70% and i am lucky enough to score 80% hehe. another OSCE test coming up tomorrow, it's about drug taking history from patient who admitted to the hospital, had been practicing with Gillian just now, i got so nervous even i was practice with her, i know i will get even more nervous tomorrow, hope i can get it through without needed for any resit.

i have another week left for this semester, and off to Portugal (Lisbon and Porto) at the first week of our christmas break. am looking forward to this trip but getting more nervous because after this trip i will have hell lot of stuffs to do and then exam coming up very soon. OMG who can stop the clock for me???

anyway, here is my chocolate cake recipe, you may try if you want to;

Ingredient:
200gm flour (sieved)
70gm cocoa powder (sieved)
1 teasp baking powder
3/4 teasp bicarbonate of soda
1/8 teasp salt
300gm caster sugar
180gm butter (melted)
250ml milk
3 eggs (beaten)

Method:
1. Mixed together caster sugar and milk.
2. Add beaten egg, after that add sieved flour.
3. Add melted butter.
4. Add cocoa powder, soda powder, salt.
5. Pour into a greased baking tin. Pre-heated and bake at 280F for about 1 hour.

my advice: do not try to save money by using cheap flour or cocoa powder, because this will determine whether your cake is good or fail :p
