Hectic

突然发觉最近用hectic这个字的次数越来越多
其实也不是因为读书功课繁重，很多报告要交之类的原因
就是时间表上没有空挡，排得满满的
又说回来，明明有空挡，却又因为太累想要休息来慰劳自己
不过坐下来想回去，其实还过得蛮充实的
结果平时早睡的我，变得迟睡，而且还不知道为什么怎么都睡不下去，在床上翻来翻去




说到活动
最近最有趣的就是UniSA的Health Science Open Day
照样还是以Student Ambassador的身份代表Health Science部门
这一次的工作蛮简单的，就是尽量回答学生的问题
如果遇到比较深入的问题，身边随时有讲师可以帮助解答
就是因为这样的情况，认识了几位老师，了解他们教书的方式和他们对一些事情的看法
也许身在澳洲的关系，或者学校的环境比较友善
和老师们讲话的时候不会觉得有什么隔阂，而且还可以聊到昨晚球赛之类的话题
很幸运也能够在当天认识了我们药剂系的Program Director, Ms. Libby Hotham
她是个聪明又风趣的女士，我非常喜欢上她的课～
在关于药剂系的一个讲座，她也把我带到讲堂里面，和另外4位同学和学长
组成她的小小Panel，在她的小小介绍过后，坐在前面回答学生和家长的问题
刚开始看到那么多对眼睛往我这个方向看，觉得有点不自在
不过过了一下子，也慢慢习惯了
最后还被叫到以一个Malaysia学生的身份，分享在Adelaide读书的经验
我还以为自己会说到一半没话说草草结束。。。
哪里直到看到大家的表情（也很难形容是什么表情），让我突然有了好多灵感，好多字要从嘴巴里吐出来一样，稀里哗啦的讲了一大堆（应该用了至少3,4分钟吧）
感觉好好，Libby的丈夫Niel，就坐在我旁边，他一直在鼓励我，感觉真的好舒服，说话也不会怕怕了
"good on you, good on you"一直在我耳边回绕着
来到澳洲之前，我的英文就不怎么ok，我看要我好好地说出一句完整的话也不容易
直到现在，真的觉得自己和以前差了一大截，真不知道自己当时是怎样混过来的-.-
之后还意外收到老师的一份小礼物^^
满足！

昨晚去参加了一个工作室
是学校安排给Student Ambassador的一个课程
不知道走了什么运，竟然让我抽到参加一个叫network now的晚宴
顾名思义就是去那里认识人，社交的好机会
之前还折腾了一下，到底要不要去参加
最后还是硬着头皮把表格交上去了
现在就要问问看谁有大衣可以借我了！
希望，非常希望当晚不会尴尬咯

刚刚考掉一个超难的测验，只希望自己可以安然渡过就够了
来到了大二开始，能够要求的就是不要不及格就行了咯
另一方面，今年真的学到了好多好多东西～
once again, I Love Pharmacy!!!

明天一早就要到Mawson Lakes去和HPV的队友们集合
一起启程到Murray Bridge去参加排位赛了
美丽假期正式启程！！！

Heartfelt speech by MJ

Congratulation MJ- Hall of Fame 2009

Michael Jordan, the greatest of all time

Was inducted into the hall of famer today

To him:

"This honour ends everything to me, but I would like, not to receive this honour and let you wonder if I can still play. Not that I will come back and play, I just want to think that I can still play......"

To us:

"This is an honour he should have received even while he was playing in nba..."

Determination, Sweat and Tears

Made a legend.

One time in history.

To Prove

It's nearly weekend again!
Yesh, tomorrow is a bball day again~
Normally I would feel really exited
And would watch the nba clips and my favourite "Kobe Doin' Work" over and over again before I go to play

But recently, I have been experiencing this weird feeling
A feeling of fear
Fear that I would not perform as well as I did last week
I fear that my shooting stroke would be gone
I fear that I would not have that shooting spree this week
Is it because that I have improved so much that I become afraid of losing the gift?
I felt the improvements, I had proved myself for the past few weeks
I have been feeling good and awesome
I just want that feeling to come every single week to me

Is it the fear that should be felt?
Or is it all me, being paranoid?

Basketball is a game of execution
The team which executes well wins all
The player who feels good, deserves to shoot the ball more
Hmm...I'm gonna talk myself out of this paranoiac situation...
I JUST need to prove that I can DO IT again
Again and again......


"When I lose the sense of motivation, and the sense of...to prove something as a basketball player, it's time for me to move away from the game of basketball...", said Michael Jordan.

I guess there aren't many people who can feel the way Michael felt at that time

Imagine how great you have to be to say those kinda words...

Ya, maybe Kobe can say that, but Michael is always Michael

Not just physically, but mentally tough

Inside out strength, that's what a basketball player needs

Thanks Michael, For Inspiring Us.

Junior Pharmacist Experience

Today was my first day experiencing the compounding aspect of Pharmacy
This practical required us to compound three solutions using different technique
I wasn't quite exited about this practical before I stepped into the lab
As I had already witnessed the hectic moment my fellow classmates experienced last week when I was in the Pre-Lab
What was on my mind this morning is to get into the lab and work my arse off, in order to finish those three solutions~

Surprisingly, it turned out to be a pretty enjoyable but still hectic session
I've actually experienced what a true pharmacist does almost everyday in his work life
Get the tablets/ capsules from the shelves, crush them using the trademark Mortar and Pester
Pour the solution in, dissolve the particles, transfer them into the bottle
SHAKE THEM!
Well, it would sound a bit too boring if you were to do this throughout your whole life
In fact, it would really be a pain if you think twice, but the fun part is the thought that you are actually curing a life, no matter it's critical or not, it's the fact that you're actually offering someone who is sick a help~ That made the whole thing interesting again~

Well, first time...
The solutions weren't TOO BaD...
Just a little bit over concentrated, just a few errors in the ingredients...
er...felt a BIT guilty now...
Of course, in real life, this kinda errorS ARE NOT ALLOWED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
giving it's the first time, I SECRETLY FORGAVE MYSELF......
no more next time!!!
OR my poor patient, gonna be overdosed and going to the toilet all the time -.-

I love my job! :b

Chattin' away SunDay night

After a fully occupied day......

Waking up early morning...
Wasting time by waiting the time to pass until the bus comes...

Read a few pages of Marley & Me (it's a great book, highly recommended) in the railway station...
Sat on train to Mawson Lakes (again, cos I just went there for bball yesterday morning)
A 20 mins train trip (nothing much to see if it's already your 20th or so trip)
Walked all the way to the campus (as there's LIMITED bus service on SUNDAY, gosh!)
Met Brian, drag, pull and push the HPV to the empty carpark
Get into business......2.5 hours of time gone in a flash...(we were exited of the coming 24hrs race down at Murray Bridge)
Yup, walked back to the train station, plus the rain -.-
Phew, 18 mins for another train, no way, took a bus instead (at least I haven't taken a bus back before, trip is 20 mins longer than a train ride though)
Yoohoo, it's already 3pm, go back home and CIY (cook-it-yourself) lunch? NO WAY
McD, haven't had it for ages, have to admit that Hu*g*y J*ck's aka. B*rg*r K*ng fries is tasteless, seriously.
Yesh, went straight back home and vacuumed the whole apartment (which is seriously not big and easy to vacuum)
Then serious time again, Dosage Form Design Test coming up in 1.5 weeks, keep on revising...
Managed to stay focus for a few hours up till maybe...6pm?
Dinner time...cup of Oats and a Green Apple...(well, too much eating out for this week)

That's it~ The boring part's gone~

Pick up the phone and called Hwong Yong Tan
As usual, a half-sleepy old man liked voice answered the phone (in fact, his new iPhone! argh...)
Then a rather normal but also getting worse :b (influence) voice appeared too
We talked about everything in our life recently...
The air-tickets...
The "What to do when back in Msia" talk...
The FOODS...
The frens...(especially the 38 one who just flew off Glasgow?)
The life~
Until my ear was burnt and phone battery gone low...
There goes my relax-but-not-quite-so-ordinary Sunday~
Hope everyone that I care is doing well
Hope you all are living a life that you love
Hope the best of luck is with y'all in every single moment

Learnt:

1. Control my temper when I meet some not-so-flashy-but-quite-arrogant bball player, thanks Allen and Joe to be there to remind me.

A single easy motion of handshake will clear up everything.









2. Thanks Vincent for your Bible Manga! It's good to know you too. Knowing you let me think of people in a whole new way, let me learn to respect the story behind every individual, before the preconception kicks in.
3. Hard work in Gym = Easy shots on Basketball Court
4. To be me and myself.

Things of the day:

Number 24 in 4th Quarter

I don't care he's 2-24, 3-16, 0-36
Just put the ball in his hands when you need to get it done.

Yes, weekend approaching~
Bball coming near~
Feel the heat, feel the passion burns
The adrenaline just kept me awake all night long~
