Live A Different Life

Excited! Going to Wellington this weekend! Can't wait!

I'm very excited that wellington is going to I...I mean I am going to Wellington. So excited that I can't form a complete sentence. For one, I haven't seen May for 3 months and secondly, I love Wellington. Well, I have only been there once but really love the whole atmosphere :) Not so excited that we have to read a 40-page book on Maori culture, answer questions and do assignment. I know 40 pages is not a lot but..but...I'm not a student anymore.

Happy Birthday Michelle, the coolest gamer I have ever seen and Sharon, the evil girl who made me addicted to chocolate cookies! I love cookies. I love chocolate chip cookies. I think I'm still suffering from the side effects of eating Sharon's yummy cookies last year. So last Saturday, I baked some chocolate chips cookies. Umm...or should I say I TRIED to bake some chocolate chip cookies. Feeling really excited about baking cookies, I went to The Warehouse and Pak n' Save to buy some basic bakeware and ingredients.

For those of you who are not familiar with Napier (which I guess is everyone), it is famously known as the Art Deco City. The reason behind this is that there was an earthquake in 1930s which destroyed many buildings in Napier and new buildings built around that time has a distinct touch of art deco - the trend of 1930s. To celebrate Napier and Art Deco period, Napier city hosts an Art Deco week every year in February.

My first Art Deco Weekend in Napier :)

Today at work, we have an interesting 'patient'. So this is how it happened:

I was minding my business, researching about the new omeprazole brand and its formulation (yes, it was very interesting) when I suddenly spotted an visitor in the dispensary.

He walked right into the dispensary like he owns the place. Well, considering the fact that he is super cute, no one kicked him out of the dispensary. After careful examination of his tag and a phone call, the official owner of the doggie has finally been located. Don't know how he managed to wander into the pharmacy but considering that he walks into the pharmacy instead of the KFC next door, I have determined that he is a dog of high IQ. Maybe a pharmacist within the dog population as well, hence the natural attraction. Too bad I can't bring it home.


Offically started work as an intern pharmacist for 1 month and a half. It has been an interesting learning process and I finally understand why my parents sleep so early at night. Now, I can proudly say that I am a working person who sleeps at 10pm and wakes up at 7.30am, super healthy! 1 month+ into the internship, I really start to appreciate all the things that I learnt in university, things that I thought I would never used.

Highest record: 6 compoundings a day!
Favourite item: Lorapaed (it smells like peach, i likey likey)
Favourite activity: Explain Losec and Dr. Reddy's funding issue to patient. I love PHARMAC. (Yeah right!)
First item I sold over-the-counter: Day & Night flu

1 and a half month down, 10 months to go! Gambate, everyone!

Gong Xi Fa Chai (Guess what follows next =P) Happy New Year to my family and friends, all of whom I miss dearly.

Missing in action for the past month, I have been busy (not busy sleeping)! Celebrated my 20th birthday, drove from Christchurch to Napier officially started work, collecting my first paycheck as an intern, drove to Gisborne to visit Fiona and just worked from 9 to 5 on a Saturday.

Too lazy to write so let the photos do the talking














Finally, my favourite photo

I miss internet! I miss internet! I miss internet! After countless nights of counting and negotiating with Vodafone, finally internet is here. It feels good to be able to aimless to surf the internet, read blogs, news etc etc.

I wish I can blog more now but it's time to go to work. Finishing work @ 8pm tonight. Until then, I miss you guys! *hugs*

Real photo to come

and I met my new watch for the first time! No more finding my cellphone to check the time, no more time guessing game. Loved the new watch by my family~ Thank you!

After beauty sleep, Alex and I went out to collect my birthday gift! Driving around Auckland was not in my genes unfortunately and we ended up lost. Thanks to people who invented maps, we managed to find the place in the end. Please say hi to my NEW LAPTOP, HP dv6817TX! Loved the design, the widescreen, the webcam and microphone, the whole thing! I have already officially named it *drumroll* Alex :) In fact, I am blogging from the new laptop now. No more lagging or system crash when I'm in the middle of doing stuff.

After lunch at Nando's (highly recommended!), we came home to rest for a while before getting ready for dinner @ Hammerhead Seafood Restaurant by Mission Bay. Beautiful scenery, wonderful atmosphere and delicious food.

Thank you everyone for wishing me happy birthday. Thank you for your present, I really loved it =P Thank you for being my friend and thank you for being there for me, always!
