Ai mei na me jian dan

I just finished watching "xin guang da dao" which is 2 am now. This is a song that I like very much and when she sang in the show, I instantly felt my eyes became watery and tears were shed eventually. =) Listen to it people. It is a very nice and sentimental song :)

Okiedokes, I better go to bed given that I need to work later >,< *sieeeeen*

Food

Hello peeps, thought of updating my blog with some photos and a short story about my work today. The only thing I want to mention is : When I unpacked the order this morning, there was a note that said "Kensington Pharmacy" and hence I took it to ask my colleague if this was meant for us. She said "yeah, that is to us, kensington pharmacy" Oh man...*slap myself* I thought about the possibility of a pharmacy in Kensington hospital which is next door. *lmao* 

Out of the blue, a colleague asked if I have a boyfriend and am I engaged? *double laughter* Do I look like I have engaged? I showed her my fingers =)

Oh oh, I am so excited about getting a new pot and also other kitchenware. It is not that I am a good cook but I enjoy doing experiment. So anyone wanna be my guinea pig? *heee* The pot that I bought was SCANPAN's =) If I have my own house here, I would get more. Maybe I should just buy and take all back to Brunei with me cos' I don't think I can get good decent brand in my hometown. I believe in investing in good quality cookery stuff because they last long. Okayla, another reason for me to get a new pot is I could not scrap off the black burnt materials from the bottom of my ex-pot. 

What happened was 2 days ago, I cooked barley and then I just went back to my room. Then I wanted to take a nap but LUCKILY I felt like grabbing a bite of my kitkat. Hence, I opened the door and smelled something's burning. At first, I thought someone was probably burning leaves or something then when I reached the kitchen, I saw the barley was so dry and the stove was emitting fire (just a bit) ..Oh man, I would have burnt the apartment if I went to nap. Thanks to my kitkat craving. *pheeeewwww*

Okay, enough with words. Let me show you some photos

 Japanese-styled cheesecake =) Not exactly like one but glad that my colleagues love it =)

Since I am talking about food, I also uploaded some photos of my own cooking that I thought are average

  

Kek batik. Sorry for the ugly presentation

Chicken with . . . *can't remember*

Tofu with chicken mince

Stir fry beef with ginger 

I enjoy cooking and baking but of course, my food is not up to the standard yet. There is still a lot of things for me to learn regarding the culinary world. 

I feel like a ahsam cos' I like to shop for dining and cooking thingy. Actually I enjoy shopping a lot so it doesn't matter what kind of stuff I look for ;)

Yes! I love hugging

Joanne and her xiao zhu zhu

I miss hanging out with the Miangs =(=(

Look so childish right? Haaaa

Oh yeah, before I forget, there are two things I want to do once I pass my exam

1 - LOSE WEIGHT

2 - IMPROVE MY CULINARY SKILL

but but both are just gonna neutralise each other or i might gain more weight ><

Suk Jai Thai Restaurant

What a "NIGHTMARE". Okay folks, this is actually not a nightmare nightmare but I haven't had dream that was so intense till this morning. It was a series of unfortunate incidents. Firstly, I was late to work because I couldn't find where I parked my car in town in the evening. When I found it, I was already half an hour late. Secondly, I fumbled about in my bag for my car key only to find that it was broken. I tried to ignite the car engine but to no avail. Next, I had to seek for a person who could fix my car key, perhaps by duplicating one. Yes, I found him. It was with embarrassment that I begged him to try his best to do one for me despite he couldn't as he needed a perfect original to duplicate one. After that, I found myself at work, very late. wearing my home crumpled T-shirt, long ugly and baggy pants and a pair of jandals. Oh man~ Then next thing, I had to make up 3 bottles of Ospamox suspensions which was wrong too (couldn't remember what actually happened). The funny thing is I knew it was a dream when I woke up finding myself struggling and hitting the blanket with my legs and even letting out an awful whiny sound. I just felt utterly uncomfortable and full of uneasiness even until now which is why I decided to write an entry here. 

Anyhow, it is just an unpleasant dream. I realised that I usually dreamed not too good vision when I woke up early in the morning, opening my eyes for a couple of seconds and went back to sleep. 

Okiedokie, enough about the weird illusion. Let me take you to a normal and proper event in reality. Have I told you there is this group of saints who come to my place every fortnight for church meeting. So, what has taken place last week was we all went out to dinner at the new Thai Restaurant, near to Kensington Pharmacy where I worked, for Clyde's farewell. The name of the restaurant is Suk Jai Thai. I reckon the food was average but the ambiance is good. Also, service is marvelous. 

 Mina and Joy. No, they are not twins though they do look like one aye

 Group photo

 Like Andrew's =P

 Entree 

 Stir fried pork with cashew nuts

 I ordered this sizzling seafood with blah blah blah . . . can't remember the exact name of it. 

I only managed to capture three photos of food =)

Feeling bloated, we all went to my place for a short meeting. 

 Rhys 

Mina is going to be our music person now since Clyde has left for Hamilton, his hometown.

-The End-

Study hard out! Yeah right!

My off day today and what's my plan again? Study hard out? YEAH RIGHT~ Oh well, I am NOT motivated and feel quite sien after reading a page of Pharmacy Healthcare Handbook . . . Who enjoys studying right? I do if there's no exam. My assessment is just about a month away and what am I doing now? Starting another series of Taiwanese Drama . . . GG lor like this . . .

*sigh sigh sigh* I already got my Bpharm degree but this does not allow me to do anything. I still have to sit for another set of assessment in order to get the title "Pharmacist". Why can't we just do our internship for a year and our preceptor will be our assessor determining whether we are qualified to be a pharmacist. I seriously think this is the fairest way. It is very daunting to think that my fate of becoming a pharmacist is all based on 5 osce and 1 interview. >.,<

Book in front of me but eyes and mind fixed on laptop screen -_-"

The only thing I am looking forward to is dining at a Thai restaurant at 7pm later. . . *yum yum*

Guess what I am going to do now . . . NAP   

See you peeps 

-The end-

Short break in Dunedin (22-26 July) - Part 6 - In Auckland

Stranded at the airport for 6 hours, I finally got on the plane flying to Auckland. However, I still could not get back to Whangarei as I have missed my connecting flight and what's more? I needed to get a bus ticket to Whangarei the next day. Well, bus is cheaper than getting a new ticket especially last minute. At the airport, my stomach was growling hence I settled it down with a bowl of hot noodle soup. 

Look on the bright side, I got this chance to meet up with Arthur, Jo, Bea and Joanne. =)

As usual, we went to a restaurant at Dominion Road

Oh oh not in the public

Before going back to Bea's residence to spend a night there, she took me to a park near to her house. At that instance, I thought about someone whom I care about dearly. Give it a guess people, it can be my family or friend =)

I learned a lesson: There is no way I am gonna climb up again because I had difficulty coming down. Oh man..It was as if I could fall and break my bones any time *heart lup dup lup dup*

Next day, Bea sent me off to the airport where I was catching the bus with 2 connecting buses in between before I reached Whangarei. yeah, this was a long trip for me because of several stops and 2 bus changes. My breakfast from McD 

I missed Brunei and hoped that I was hopping on a plane back home

Stopping at Manukau Westfield

In conclusion, despite the long wait at the airport and missed flight, it was a pleasant trip with the soft and fluffy flakes in Dunedin. Last but not least, it was good to catch up with people and gave me a great opportunity to witness International Cultural Night. Thanks
