Baby Day at Work

Sunday Short Talk:

It has been while since my last post. About 10 days? 10 days only nia mah, right ? ;)

I have shitty days. Oh! you know, one of those days. *take a long deep breath and start ranting*
I have sore muscle pain behind my right shoulder. It is stretching my whole arm, facial muscle and even my fingers are tingling all the time! That’s how bad it it. I’m usually able to endure with very high level of pain threshold, and I don’t usually whinge like a baby (excpet I ‘teh’ (manja) Kian ;) ) But I’m coming down with depression from shitty free-labour placement… and I’m feeling miserable.

Seriously, how many times you really hear me b*tching, complaining?? and being an unhappy gal??? *sigh*

Don’t get me wrong, I love working with Kian. Oh! He is such a sweetheart. [Sadly, I only work with him 2 days a week.] Just that some ppl don’t treat me like a normal human being, they think I’m their free slave. knnccb! fuck you, beeyoch! this is Australia, it is not some fucking ancient India which divided ppl into classes.
Because of Kian, I have to STFU…keep everything nice and simple.and quiet. Am a person with very very strong personality, this is sending me straight to the 18th level of hell. I can’t voice it out loud..I damn ‘beh song’! *argh* Buddha certainly wanna put me on those tests. *amitabha*

Physical pain is one thing. Few cocktail tablets will do the job from time to time. But not enjoying work, every weekday morning I have to drag my soul so hard to work. I feel like puking blood on myself when I can’t behave positively. It is just not myself. I’m left with 4 weeks. I need to ‘re-tunne’ the way of thinking. How to lie to myself, what I should looking forward every morning. Think. Think positively. Life is too short to have these uneasy moments. I want happy-ness! :) *fingers crossed*

Back to the serious business of blogging, shall we? *wink*

Baby Day is a commercial activity at my (paid) work place. This is the first time we had Baby Day, and I was very excited. I was asked to work extra shift *yum..sniffing the money*, and my job title was photographer! How cool is that?! :) 

 

 

We had very busy morning. Parents floaked in to the shop..they asked advices from nurse; Pharmaceutical company reps where busy promoting their product. We handed out freebies. Few activities were going around too for the babies, little kiddos and US!! 
I know–I look like a chook. I woke up late, and I didn’t get enough time to organise myself. I rushed to work with my sleeping cloth underneath. ;)

 

 

We did plenty of hand/foot print for the little ones, and I just couldn’y help myself toget one too. You see, back in where I come from, we don’t have such thing. Yeah, this masa-kecil-tak-pernah bahagia me, also wanted to get a handprint!

There you go! big kiddo got her handprint!

 

 

Aw! I deeply regreted it. It was so so so cold!! 

 

 

Face painting was another highlight of Baby Day. Most of the kids get their faces painted; my inner Chinesey, Malaysian kiasu-ism was playing up, I also joined everyone to enjoy the free painting. It is FREE, right? Why not? Hehehe 

 

 

Channy’s one is hell preeety!! But I don’t see myself in those nice  blue flowers on my face. Too pretty for me. *shy*

 

 

I asked for sun/stars instead. I always enjoy yellow, bright, cheerful that soft of color. I think it is awesome. 
Have a look at those twinkling stars! Don’t you think they look awesome on my family-size-pizza face? I think it is cool, man! =)

 

 

The barber from next door asked me if I have marijuana painted on my face. I told him: hell yeah. I do drugs, remember? :)  

Woo hoo! All gals got their faces painted. I am soooo happy. Yeah. If my boss wanted to tell me off for not taking my job seriously, at least I am not the only one who will get busted, right?!! =P 

 

 

Hehe! Happy big babes we are. :)

 

Table For The Laydee, Please

It has been awhile since I did girly thing with the girls, and I must say, going out for dinner during weeknight is awesome. 

 

  

We discussed our future–where we end up will be? what we are going to do?

From here to another end–boy friend, future husband, and the number of kids! 

 

  

We gossip, we beeyoch–which guy in our class look gay-ish; 2 of us agreed our one of the lecture simply look the yummiest! Oh-so-hawt! 

 

 

We took some photos..we talked again. Fact, we never stopped talking.  

 

 

 

 

At one particular moment, I felt like crying. I shuffled the fettucine into my mouth and I stayed quite, allowing myself to pretend happy and in the mean time, I swallowed my tears back to the throat.

Time has gone so quickly, we all are so close to another turning point in our life. After this term, everything will change.

 

 

It is pretty scary upon thinking of the future, because future is unpredictable. You don’t know what’s coming up next. But for this moment, I just want to appreciate the time we spedining together.

 

 

Girls agree to do more before cathing-ups before the last few weeks of uni. And I am really looking forward. 

 

 

This night-out does inspire me (alot), or else I won’t even be sitting here write about it, right? ;)

Hey girlfriends! Ya’ all rock!! :)

 

Taking a deep deep breath

My instinct told me:

  1. It is OK for me to abandon my weblog for abit for time being, because there is no way I can cope with sooo many things–working 6.5 days/week, proposal, disease state management, workbook.. erm..what else? FACEBOOK!!

Facebook is evil.

Don’t get hoocked..it is hell addictive.

p/s: work update: everything is going smoothly, as usual. I’m having fun more than working. Daily routine is a bit boring, sometimes. But talking to people is mega fun. Keep everyone entertained, yeh? I love my job!! ;P

Workplace Relationship

I started by third clinical placement this week. I’m very sexcited! ‘cos, am working with Kian for 2 days (or less) for the rest of 7 weeks!

When we both at dispensary yesterday, I joked with him: I am horny, ney. ;)

He pretend he didn’t hear me. tah-mah-de!

It seems abit difficult this time to mix around with other staff members. Hell know what’s wrong with me? Or it is because the relationship between me and Kian? or the age gap? or, I just need abit more time.

So yeah, my plan is..I want to do all over the counter, the store room, dispensary… *roar*!!!

Just like Borat says: Niiiice! ;)

Placebo and Me

Placebo is a newsletter of National Pharmacy Student Association (NAPSA). It get published every two months to all the branches of Pharmacy Student Association in Australia.

I don’t usually pay much attention to Placebo. However, Volume 12, Issue 2 2007 is an exception. I even collected few copies, sending them home for my mum, aunties. Very exciting, yeh? :)

 

 

Why so exciting? Because, nearly 99% of the photos from NAPSA Congress 2007 (Melbourne) in this particuar issue was taken by me! I was so happy to see my photos too! 

And …and… *drum roll*

Placebo featured me in this issue (!!!)  The very last page, editor Rhyan Stanley used up quater of the page, saying Thank You to me.*so moved wanna cry*

 

 

I never expected such a big Thank You..I just do what I love, and for those whom I love.

I must admit, this is the ONLY Placebo I’m keeping and flipping thru’ the most. All the memories and experience..simply priceless!  :)
