Completed my first 6weeks rotation at Retail.. learned quite a lot of stuff there n i love the interaction with all the customers.. maybe is i lucky, didnt realli meet with many difficult customers.. i love my job!!!

at my half days in Outpatient Pharmacy, it was also very exciting and fun.. a lot of new things to learn.. not only the medications side (which i m totally not good at all), its also the operational side.. the processing, the interventions.
Standing is realli tired. Pharmacists hav almost no chance to sit at all.. (at least in Retail n OP). my legs got so sore n tired after 4 days of wearing sandals w heels tt i couldnt walk much the following 2 days.. And guess wat, after that episode, i got to know that my feet got high arch, hence the imbalance in pressure. AFTER 22 yrs.. hmm. Since for 22 yrs i din noe n it din cause much harm, i shall remain it that way then.

Next stop is Drug Info Service.. 6 weeks. Hmm this rotation, i will get to sit till my butt get pressure sores i suppose. Will be staying whole day in office, enriching my little brain and learning how to deal with qns by doc, patients, nurses who call in.. Phone operator. Hopefully, i get to catch up on my knowledge side in this 6 weeks.. I cant be a pharmacist who is good in interaction n soft skills yet hav no knowledge to offer or empower others.. that would b so sad..

Looking forward.. Hopefully, being a pharmacist is wat i m realli suited for. Hope i hav found my true calling

hav been doing checking since last week. but todae being given the confidence to check n push out without the need of another round of double checking.. happy~ slowly becoming independent. needs more time. :p

Photos of Taiwan collated alreadi.. now sorting.. even harder work. Coz all of us were over enthu when taking photos.. too many photos of the same flower, bird or view.. haha.. choosing the best photos.. Still at DAY 1. I hav 11 days... hohoho.

Back!!

i m missing taiwan.. the weather is so good, so cooling unlike here.. the people r so nice n polite n helpful...

just finish collating my travel diary of my taiwan trip. picked up this habit from the YEP expedition i went in '07. nice to write down tots n sentiments of daily happenings so that some time later when the memories of taiwan is no longer in my short-term memory, i can still refresh it whenever i feel like it..

this trip was VERY eventful. guess its the most memorable trip for most of us in the team. the first few days was tough, many unexpected stuff occured n 'bad' luck followed... some of us couldnt believe it, some of us jus LAUGHED it off.. i guess all our laughing helped, as some bad luck turned out to be blessings in disguise..

One regret is that adeline cant join us in the end after so much time, effort n $$.. sigh...

10 day Taiwan Trip!!!!
Day 1
From Taoyuan Airport, take train to hualien.. Check-in C'est Jeune Hotel.. a very affordable and small hotel.. service is personal n veri friendly. Its a art-like hotel. its small lobby has a small display of artworks. cartoon characters. bfast there is good too!

Day 2
Bad luck starts. just 2 day before, wl confirmed w our tour guide of our booking. Early morning 9am, we called her, she says she forgot n is nt free... HUH??!!!
Lucky she is responsible enough to ask another 2 tour guides to stand in for her.
started our day late. but our first blessing came about. The 2 guy tour guides were veri nice n all of us liked their approach. Compared to the female tour guide who took over us at night (she was veri bo chap)

Went to Taroko Gorge, cleared limited places due to time. But believed tt we've seen some of the best. All of us loved 水莲洞. Imagine a dark cave (need torch n poncho), natural mountain water falling frm above. natural wild wild wet. experienced tt wonderful place after clearing 7 tunnels and walked v far.. worth it :)

After trying to contact adeline for v long n failed to do so, at last she contacted us. We were outside a tunnel, if we walked in, there will b no more reception. so we stayed outside, hoping ade can quickly contact us and we can help her solve her problem. Reception was v weak. Imagine trying to get reception outside a tunnel, out in nature, on a mountain, a steep cliff beside. Haha, was realli an exp. :) Lucky the 2 tour guides were v helpful, without asking, they helped us make long-dist calls using their hp that surprisingly were the onli ones w 1 bar reception.
At last prob solved. *HAPPY*

evening, it began raining. had to skip some places. a bit disappointed but cant b helped. Tour guides brought us to the fish port for sashimi instead. It was v good!!! fresh n cheap.

too bad we didnt get to play w fireworks there.. was a miscommunication. haiz.
tried the recommended food there. some were nt bad some were so-so.

Day 3
Left Hualien. Rmb the 2 nice tour guides and we were very keen to take on their service again when we reach taiepi. Head for Chiayi, to go Alishan first.

Day 3-5
At Alishan. a place near heaven.. Veri cooling. natural aircon whole day round. we had a tea plantation at our doorstep.. whole house was ours. 2-storey. stayed at small swiss homestay. Charlies was a great guy.

Day 5-11
Back to Taipei. tried almost all big nght markets. Tonghua which is jus 5 mins frm our place. Raohe and Shilin. tried a lot of good food. Shopped a lot. changed $$ in taiwan too.. on the last day left w onli NT13 (~S60cents), hav to depend on yj to yang wo..

explored out of taipei. engaged the help of the 2 wonderful guides again (Mr Yao ZhengCheng and Mr He RenJie). by then, they were alreadi conveniently known by us as Mr Lame n Mr Nice respectively. Ultimate fun combi. with transport, we proceed w our initally planned places like chiufen, shih-fen, danshui, yeliu, keelung, jinguashi with much ease. They even bought us to places of greater fun.. Went Yingge to learn n make pottery.. (our masterpieces will b here end on June, waiting....) Sounds like we did a lot. it was all in 2 days... anyone interested in engaging their services can sms me. haha. i hav their contacts.. coz they jus started the services themselves so need a lot of recommendations, all of us 9 felt that they were sincere n fun, n veri affordable too.. they went the extra mile for us, n we were v grateful for it.


the rest of the times, we were out on our own exploring taipei city. went to 我猜 recording.. damn exciting n fun. nearly couldnt get in, lucky can still sit front row.. Jacky wu still gave us try the pies made by the contestant for 人不可貌相 :) nice!!!

as i wait for my hols w much anticipation n excitement, i jus realised through the blog that a friend at far is encountering some prob. this friend haven replied my last email since quite long ago which is unlikely gg by the usual freq. Now i m worried. its something big. yet i cant help. and there are no news from this friend. yet i m here waiting to go off for my hols. Hey friend, quick reply me.. I m waiting too!! cheer up k!

went mapuku @ Tampines One for lunch todae. Food is not bad. Mache style. Free-sitting which i quite like. Each section of the dining area has a different theme.. settled at one place but was tempted by another sections, ended up changing place. haha








whole day mj todae.. played 3 rounds since afternoon till 11 plus jus now. so tired.
won quite a bit todae. It's like my first time winning a fair bit? so quite happy. i think my luck is realli not bad todae. happy~ i was shocked by myself quite a few times tdy too. haha. for the 1st round, the other 3 players jus cant believe my luck. haha. now i understand the shuang feeling. :) tired. sleeping soon.. cycling tml...


halfway done w packing..

since after exams, life been good:) hav been enjoying life. sleep late, go out, meeting up with friends, spend decent time with dear, have good food.

I am now excited with my taiwan trip. all gals came to my place yest to finalise the itinerary. Hahah. truthfully, this is my first time being so hands on in planning. I think last yr planning for hk w kat, angie n hx is like a training for me. i was more sideline learning. This time, i m definitely more involved. Enjoy planning. Will certainly play a much more active role in planning in future. :)As i plan, the more i read, the more excited i become. Sense of achievement when everything flows and is nice nice. Muz go through the whole thing to see if it realli works though. haha

over the weekend, met 13yao for dinner to celebrate sou's belated belated bday. went to the korean BBQ place at far east. the side dishes are not free-flow but are available for refill. whatever it means, go figure. haha. I tink the waitress repeated the exact sentence thrice.
went to T3 TCC next, had a good time catching up with all. it was our usual secret-sharing time. FUN!!




Pomerganate Orange Soda. Very refreshing. Nice




Then on sun went to buy luggage w dear. Went to Tam1 foodcourt for lunch first. wanted to try the roast meat from Restoran Selayang. Was on the news coz it is opened by actors terrence cao and another actor (forget his name). It boostes a family recipe. I so wanted to try it. I tried and definitely was not disappointed. Foodcourt price, great satifaction. They have 2 types of chilli. One is the chicken rice kind another is the roast duck chilli paste. Try both. Both are so rich in aroma that u can jus eat it alone w rice. haha i sound so much like a foodie writing a food blog now.. :) but good things muz share.



Also went to orchard. when was the last time i have the time to stop by, absorbed into the drums and vibrancy of performers by the streets. ah, this is life!



went ah ma house at nite to celebrate Mothers' day. i bought a nice cake too!!

yet another long time since last post.

And yeah!!! i finished my exams!!!!!! woohoo~

finished yest and after that i went tampines 1. Haven been there since it opened, so went there yest to open my eyes. bought a pair of lychee martinis coz they are very pretty... haha. typical gal. although i m not a huge fan of pink, these bottles were cute so i got them. :) (just felt like spending $$ after exams)


had lunch at Ma Maison yest with hc, mq n yq. was a treat after exams. :) hee. the photos are the prove of the good food we had. let the photos explain.. ha hc did took the food photos quite well huh. haha







over lunch yest, the idea of gg for a buffet dinner surfaced . And so off we went to a buffet dinner tonight. went to Crown Price Hotel at Terminal 3, Airport. AZURE. sad yq n mindy cant join us. yq, u missed out A LOT TONIGHT!! next time muz come w us k!! A very good offer, by the use of UOB or CITIBANK card, its one-for-one. International buffet. Got lots of variety. its realli good. I think each of us ate like 15-20 prawns (fresh + drunken prawns at least) esp mq. haha. it was realli veri fresh. the prawns were sweet so were the scallops. Its not easy to get sweet scallops la. i think, our table ate a lot of seafood. a bit kua zhang tonight but it was realli worth it. The food n dessets were fantastic. Pre-booking is needed. service a bit slow but if u manage to get their attention, its nt that bad.





went ttsh to sign contract this morning. i m almost a staff there liao. exciting. Working with a few good friends also. Hope life will be enriching and at the same time fun.. :) look forward :)

but first taiwan, here i come.. :)
