Gerald Burns Pharmacy
Woo hoo! Finally! Last placement. Ever. *deep breath*
It was all good.
I made them a photo frame with everyone photos in it, including the flower from JT and scones from ET. I can’t left the food behind after all, yeh? *wink*
Again and again, I am very lucky to work a bunch of nice people. They are alot matureer than me. At first, I was abit nervous. I wasn’t sure if we all will get along. But, my prediction always went wrong. We all clicked so well. They share their life experience with me. Where they used to work, parenting experiences, relationship, cooking, sex life *ahem*. Nice — in Borat’s stylo.
The questions I got asked the most were : How’s thing going when you work with Kian? How does it look like? Did you guys ‘DO’ it? Did you guys kiss?
We both think it was abit weird at the first, espcially during the first day. We both woke up in the morning. He went to work at 9am. I meet him at work after half an hour. We both work together. Erm..
But we get along very well. It IS exactly like doing cooking together in the kitchen. When I chop the vege, Kian puts the butter away. When Kian does the dishes, I put the other lot of dishes away. When I clean up the mess, he cleans the bin.Perfect.
For the last 2 questions. He kissed me forehead. Yes, I was tired. I dealt with grumpy customer. The “DO” part? NEH! Didn’t get to go THAT far. A bit dissapointed, but nevermind. 
I have plenty of wonderful moments. I am pleased. I don’t give a damn so much about how much I learn in a clinical placement. I believe every students like us will somehow learn abit from here and there. For me, ultimately it is all about getting along well with people and having FUN!
Gerald provided me heaps of guidances during my placementship. We chatted alot. He laughed his head off when I told him my meet-the-parents experience. He told my School Unit Coordinator that I am very cheecky.
The best thing about my job is talking to people (!) Yay.–> so that I don’t need to stay infront of the computer all day like a bloody nerd *ngek*
Another best part of the placementship was one of Gerald’s old friend baked a whole big tube of chives and cheese scones for me!!!!! Seriously yummie. I was absolutely touched. [chao1 ji2 gan3 dong4] I was only for the 6th weeks after all. I feel sooo loved. uH!
It was so good, it was so BOM-CHICKA-WAH WAH!!

Good Bye SJOG
Yay!!!
I finished my first clinical placement at St John of God Medical Clinic Pharmacy. Whole 10 weeks. The past ten weeks had been abit difficult–especially the workload!! Try to balance myself between the studies, work from placement, and work from pay job, and workload from bf *ahem* Oh yeah! and social activities!
Working as intern meaning, I receive no money. And therefore, I have to keep my pay job at other druggist outlet is extremely tuff. Honestly speaking, I don’t mind. I wasn’t being abused as a free slave. I work with very nice people. I am very lucky compared to other people. Erm..sometimes I just can’t help so many people love me, eh?
Last day at work…had to clean up all the crap from my locker. Nothing really much. one bottle of anti-frizzy hair cream, and another bottle of anti-frizzy hair serum. Yeah!! I get STATIC hair everyday especially when I ride my scooter to work. When my hair ’stand up’, they are as hardcore as those oldies taking V*agra and they hardly wanna ‘come down’. A small bottle of perfume (Pleasure)..in case I smell too pharmaceutical. ;P
I made a small ‘THANK YOU’ booklet for my preceptors and staff members… It has all bits and pieces of everything from everywhere and everyone. It is a small token of appreciation for them to have me over there.
For my dear readers..I hope you will like my art wrok too!
Enjoy~!!!
PHEW~! If you are still reading till this far end. I seriously love you mannn!!! Thanks for being my hardcore fan!! *hugs and kisses*–Because you are worth it, babe~!

Feeling Inspired.
I had made a storage from shoe box and old calender, thank you and birthday cards; and most recently recycle papers. This time, I made EARRINGS. Not just one pair, but freaking 24 pairs(!) *I left one pair out* Oooops ^_^
They all are different designs and colours. Ok, some bead shapes maybe the same, but different colours. They are all unique. =)
Love the blue… feel like crystal blue ocean.
Violet crystal looks classy, in my personal opinion. If not, at least they look like Winter Lavender. =)
Sea green or emerald is my favorite. The look rather refreshing–goes well with the sun. How cool is that? ^_*
The length of the earrings are between 6-8cm. Some are even longer. =) I made couple of 5.5cm ones for people who have short neck like me. Tee hee hee~!!
These are emerald bracelets. I made few of them in different designs, yet mainly in limey jade green in colour, so that a person can either wear all of them in one time, or individually.
This is the only necklace I have made so far. It took me ages to get the measurement right. Phew! Seeing my own art work is a world best satisfaction, indeed. =)
Have a closer look of the necklace. I made a matching set which contains of earring, bracelet and necklace based on these colors. =)
Hmm.. what do you think?
p/s: Oh yeah! I cam teach you how to make one if you want. But, if you are interested in buying them, you are more than welcomed. Earrings cost between AUD6-AUD8, depend on the design. Not too expensive, right? *_^ Bracelet and necklace? Hmm.. let me know, if you want them =) Heehee. Any questions??

Art: Recycle Paper
I’ve made several cards in the past. There were some difficulties which I came across were looking for the right paper, colors and texture of paper is quite hard. Oh, maybe I am fussy. I want things close to perfect in my way. =)
As a consequence, I decided to make my own paper for art purpose.
I have no problem looking for recycle papers as we got quite a bit of junkz mails, brochers, even egg cartons are good ones too! I prefer ordinary paper, without waxing or plastic material.
Firstly, soak the paper/cardboard you want to recycle for few hours in order to soften the texture. If the paper is over waxed, the water won’t be able to penetrate the paper, and the process is no way to continue. ^_* (speak from personal experience)
Once it is completely soaked, blend them. Yes, until they look like this:
Traditionally, porous wired frame was used. However, I don’t have one here, and I want to make a thicker card, therefore I go with an old old chopping board.
The reason I use this particular chopping board is it has fine lining which will give a nice lining on the paper. You will see what I mean by the end of this post.
Once got the chopping board and blended paper, spread them across the surface of the chopping board evenly. Use old news paper to absorb excessive water. It helps alot!
I dry them behind the house backyard. Best to do it when the sun is strong, so they dry quickly.
You can try in hot-air oven, but from personal experience it did not dry them up completely. And it was quite difficult to take them off from the chopping board. It is not a good idea at all.
TA DAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those are the re-cycle papers I’ve been making. I did most of them during Autumn when the sun was still warm. =)
Have a closer look, this is the fine lining and surface I was refering to.
Recycle papers don’t normally smell great like those commercialised paper. Here’s another tip for you, you can slip some perfumed-cards in between your recycle papers, so you will get nice aroma. I picked some perfmed cards up when I walked pass Myer. I know, call me ‘cheap-skate’ =P
Oh yeah, to finish of your recycle papers and for storage, use heavy thick books like those… put one or two of these books on top of the papers, plus slipping the perfumed cards. You will bet a nice recycle papers.
Have fun making your own recycle papers. For those in ozzie..oh yeah, you gotta wait till Summer. *_^
