M.I.A.

I have not post anything on my blog since my summer vacation started, hehe.... been quite lazy.
It's not like I'm going to abandon my blog, it's just that I was in no mood to blog.
I really admire those who update their blogs everyday.

So, what did I do since I got back to Malaysia?
My daily routine involve just 'makan', watching tv programs, surf the net, and sleep for the whole month of June.
But of course I did do other things too, like meeting up with my friends, helping a little with house chores, and baking biscuits and cakes.

I've met up with my secondary school friends, (namely Chee Yuen, Sai Lei, Yen Hong, Stella, Wei Keat, Alan, Mun Ping, Ying Chi, and Lee Fu), a couple times before they started their new semester in July. We met up and talked about our schooling days, and we sounded so old reminiscing our not-so-long-ago younger days. We also interrogated those who are attached on how their boyfriends courted them, how's their personality, etc. Meeting up was fun, but we all won't be able to gather together at least for another year, cos' some of them study in different states, while Sai Lei and I are overseas. I'll miss them so much.

Yes, and I started working in July, in a pharmacy as a assistant pharmacist.
The Malaysia pharmacy system is so different compare to the UK, but I've learn a lot, from Miss Joanne, Miss Lina and Miss Lau.
I'm currently under their wings, they are very helpful and never hesitates to answer my doubts. Other than helping to dispense medicines, Miss Joanne (pharmacist and store manager) also lets me experience some store administration and stock checking.

I'm also partly in charged of the chasing machine at the dispensing counter, and it was a total headache to learn how to use it, there's a code and process for everything:
How do I do credit card transaction?
How do I give employee and senior citizen discount?
Oh no, double scanned.
Alamak, I've scan the item but the customer doesn't wants it anymore.
How to give special rebates, promotion, wrong price tag, price override, etc.
Thankfully, the staff there are very friendly and taught me bit by bit everyday, some of them even know where the medicines are kept better than I do...so 'paiseh', but I'm getting better at things now.

Standing for most of 7 hours, it's quite tiring (I'm not complaining, maybe I have low stamina), but rewarding (experience wise) at the same time.

And the best thing that happen to me during this holiday so far was:

I've passed every single paper and coursework for my MPharm Level 2!!!
The results were out this Monday and I was so happy.

I was dead nervous when I was accessing the website to view my result. My heart was racing like a horse, especially with my mom standing behind me. But I passed everything!!! Hurray.
I've obtained an overall of 60++ and 70++ for my modules.
Yea... they are not tremendously wonderful results, but the marks were satisfying from the amount of effort I've put in.
All glory to God for carrying me through.
And I must say, Block 20 pre-exam group study was a success!
We ought to carry on the good practice, and I really need to study consistently for the next Level.

So, that's all for now :)

Deborah.
